Dr. Bayard holds his degree from the University of Edinburgh, and his life throughout has been a record of a succession of brilliant achievements in his profession and in the matter of establishing beneficent institutions in his native province.
Concerning him it may be said that no man in his profession is held in higher esteem throughout Canada.
When the establishment of Acadiensis was first mooted, Dr. Bayard required no second invitation to assist in the promotion of the work, assuming a share of the financial responsibility of the undertaking with a cheerfulness and alacrity that did much to brighten the work undertaken by its promoter.
New Contributors.
Among the new contributors whose names appear in this issue of Acadiensis are the Honorable Mr. Justice Warburton, of Charlottetown, P. E. I., who writes on the Sea-Cow Fishery; Mrs. V. Crawford Morden, Vice-President of the Loyalists' Association at Brockville, Ontario; His Honor Judge Wilkinson, who has consented to contribute, at the urgent request of the editor of Acadiensis, an account of his charming home on the River Miramichi, and Past Commodore Edgar H. Fairweather, of the R. K. Y. C., who contributes an interesting article on the Yacht Club. It is hoped that additional articles with regard to yachting in the Acadian Provinces may be secured for future issues of this magazine. Yachtsmen, members of other clubs who have good photographs of their boats and information which would be useful in writing such articles, are invited to correspond with the editor of Acadiensis.
