I.—Referring to the First Period.

1. Rev. Robert Ewan, Limestone Plains, Southland.

I have received your note asking testimony of my personal experience of your qualification for teaching.

I was a member of the first class taught by you after your appointment to the Chair of Systematic Theology in the New College, and can testify that the students of that year were Enthusiastic in their appreciation of your lectures, and that the interest in the work of the class was sustained throughout.
