First Contingent of Fifth Universities Corps Leaves City Over G. T. P. for Montreal-- Hearty Send-Off Given at the Depot by the Friends of the Boys.

Twenty members of the 5th universities contingent left Saturday at 8.30, via G.T.P., for Montreal. They were given a hearty send-off by their friends. Several farewell functions were held in their honor Thursday.
The following are those who left this morning: Clyde Smith, Karl S. Murray, Thomas Campbell, C. D. McCallum, R. H. Barnes, Robert Smith, D. Fraser, J. Aylwood, Geo. McIntosh, John Hope, L. M. Dunning, M. B. Craig, J. F. Kelley, F. R. Purvis, R. T. Boyce, M. Cowan, Jos. Ballyntine, Alex. F. Huff, A. G. McDermid and Jack McClung.
Another contingent, larger than this, will leave this week and possibly another later. Lieut. C. A. Grant will remain and recruit until the last corps goes forward.
They will assemble at Montreal from all the universities of the Dominion, and there they will be outfitted and staff training under Captain Eve.
