I want to read you the inscription around the walls of the cloister of an old school in England — -Winchester College. This cloister is a memorial to the boys from that school who died in the Great War and it reads like this: Thanks be to God for the service of these five hundred Wykamites who were found faithful unto death amid the, manifold chances of the Great War. In the day of battle, they forgot not God who created them to do His will, nor their country, the stronghold of Freedom, nor their .school, the mother of Godliness and discipline. Strong in this threefold Faith, they went forth from home and kindred to the battle fields of the world and treading the path of duty and sacrifice, laid down their lives for mankind. Thou, therefore, for whom they died, seek not thine own, but serve as they served, and in peace or in war bear thyself ever as Christ ' s soldier, gentle in all things, valiant in action, steadfast in adversity. It was rather surprising to me when I read this, that the school should be joined with God and Country in the threefold Faith. I had never thought of the school as taking a place of such importance. But in considering it, I came to this conclusion — that a school in which youth lives, works and plays for a period of three, four or five years is truly as the inscription says The mother of Godliness and discipline in this most important and impressionable period of life — the period of Youth. In all that we read or hear these days, there is one point that is stressed over and over again, and that is what Youth is going to do in the world — what Youth is thinking and planning and how Youth is going to deal with the problems that face humanity — and we are that Youth! It will rest with us to determine and to deal with the condition of the world in twenty or thirty years from now. The generations before us have given us the best they had of knowledge and wisdom. Not least of the gifts bestowed, is the foundation of schools such as this. Here is where the young have lived and ever will live, guided by the presence of older and wiser people, it is true, but here is essentially the abode of Youth. Here, from all parts of the Dominion, from homes and churches and communities of varied kinds, we are gathered to make from the contributions of all, a common life. Upon the background of the school ' s traditions and ideals, to embroider a pattern of our own which will enrich the design and carry it on. And, may I say, that, those older and wiser people who have chosen to live with us in guidance and discipline, are those who keep in mind the need and desire of Youth to dis- cern, in some measure, and to give form and substance, in some degree, to its own visions. To these, we owe a debt of gratitude and affection which we can never repay. For the background of beauty against which our lives are set, we have no words. Graduates of all years carry in their hearts the memory of the old building with its stone capped turrets, its noble hall, its great window. The boys of Winchester College strong in their threefold Faith, went forth to the battle fields of the world and laid down their lives for mankind. This, in a literal sense is not required of us, but service and self-sacrifice are the demands which life will call upon us to meet. In our going forth we lay to our hearts the noble words with which this inscription closes: Seek not thine own, but bear thyself ever as Christ ' s soldier, gentle in all things, valiant in action, steadfast in adversity. — Barbara Jones
