4 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD omitted, perhaps for some good reason entirely unknown to myself. I refer to the possible inauguration of a section entitled Letters to the Editors. This suggestion is the result of a private desire to comment on certain features of the magazine, perhaps occasionally adding some interest- ing information gleaned from personal experience. If the Editors did consider this, as well as being very grateful, I should beg of them not to overlook the advantages offered by the organization of such a department. Not only would a closer connection be established between older and younger Old Boys, but also such a scheme could serve those boys attending the School at present. If they wished to comment on certain articles, or suggest some technical cor- rections, no better plan could be adopted. Hence, through such a service, beneficial suggestions or helpful criticisms might be made which would assist in overcoming some of the obvious difficulties connected with the publication of such a fine magazine. Taking all into consideration, I feel that the addition of such a section would indeed prove a welcome asset to all the fortunate readers of the Record. Keep up the good work! And thank you for at least considering, perhaps a needless suggestion, by an Anonymous Old Boy. T0 THE READERS OF THE RECORD We have discussed in full all the pros and cons per- taining to the above proposal. Finally, we, the Editors, have reached the verdict that the above innovation should be attempted for at least one issue of the Record. If the re- sponse, from both within and without, is satisfactory, this section will continue to be included in the remaining pub- lications of the Record for this year. If at the end of this time, the Editors decide that the organization of such a department is beneficial to the publication of the Record, the section will become a permanent addition.

TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 3 ourselves to such an extent, that, in reality we are creating an identical problem to the one which the world's leading diplomats are now trying desperately to solve, only, on a minor scale. The solution of the basic international problem, which they are now attempting so frantically to solve, de- pends almost entirely on self-sacrifice. The only satisfactory means to attaining this end is by a constant and continuous practice of self-sacrifice in our younger years, and especially while we are attending school. Lastly, let us consider the following quotation from John Donne found in Ernest Hemingway's book, For Whom The Bell Tolls. In it one finds the crux of our social problem to-day and a suggestion for its remedy to-morrow. No man is an Island, entire of itself 3 . . . any man's death diminishes me, Because I am involved in mankindg And therefore never tend to know For whom the bell tolls, It tolls for thee. -T.R.C. AN OPEN LETTER TO THE EDITORS OF THE RECORD As one of the older Old Boys, I obtain much pleasure in reading of the Modern activities at T.C.S. It certainly recalls many pleasant memories and boyhood experiences to my mind, many are the evenings I have spent, reminiscing over a precious copy of the Record. There could be no better way of maintaining contact between the older and younger Old Boys of the School, many of whom have sons, relatives and friends attending Trinity. The publication of such a magazine as this, also serves as an interesting guide to those who seek information about the various activities of the School. Though I find most articles in the Record excellent, I do feel that one important department is being overlooked or

Old Boys should address their letters as follows: THE EDITORS OF THE RECORD, cfo TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL, PORT HOPE, ONTARIO. Thanking you for your co-operation in this new under- taking. The Editors. P.S.-All letters should be signed either personally, or by some suitable pseudonym. Unsigned letters will not be considered for publication. THE ARCHBISHOP When we heard that Archbishop Renison had decided to retire we felt that some of our life had come to an end. For always, subconsciously, we knew that Bob Renison is in the north, he is often in Toronto for meetings, his articles come out every week, he finds his way to T.C.S. and speaks in his inimitable fashion to the boys, he goes all over the north country, all over Canada, there is a man for you, his life packed full of adventures for his God and of deeds for his fellowmen, strong and vigorous in his leadership of an immense, young, growing part of Canada, filling his day more full in his seventies than most men in their liftiesf' His career has been outlined before, ofteng life in the Nipigon before the turn of the century, a missionary's son, T.C.S.
