Foreword A NOTHER year is drawing rapidly to its close. Another ■ ■student body has come and gone. Some will sever their connection with the College and will take their place in the business and professional life of the city and province. To these the traditions of the College have been passed on and the life of the province has been enriched by this annual contribution of young men and women imbued by the highest ideals of service. This is the twenty-fifth anniversary of the founding of Alberta College. Twenty-five classes representing in all over twenty-five thousand students have registered for some courses at this pioneer educational institution. The College follows with greatest interest the lives and careers of those who have been its students since the first year of its estab¬ lishment in 1903. The aim of the College is not only the acquisition of knowledge, the passing of examinations, but the develop¬ ment of the highest capacities of the students in practical activities. It seeks the harmonious cultivation and system¬ atic development of the normal faculties of intellect, feeling and conduct with the idea of training for some specific thing in life or for life in general. The College stands for Chris¬ tian leadership and emphasizes the fact that the highest life is the one most intimately connected and related to the life of the Master Teacher of Nazareth. Our greetings go to all former students, to those who will leave us at the end of the College term and to all pros¬ pective students as they look forward to making a worth¬ while investment of their lives. In the past twenty-five years there have been great achievements. May we all be worthy of the fine traditions of the College and look forward with the expectant hope that even greater things will be accomplished in the years to come. Mores Sunt Maximi. F. S. McCALL.

4 AURORA BOREALIS The Academic Department “To court the nine Muses, come youthful aspirants, Beseeching- that God’s will their mandates obey, Compelling attention like grandest of tyrants Assembling themselves in glorious array; Come, fill up your glasses with the oldest of wine, And pass round the courses—let each to the feast, Who will for these Sisters a laurel entwine Shall soon be the greatest though now he be least.” W HILE our apparatus is not of a musical variety, nor our vocal equipment particularly melodious yet our theory anticipates focal harmony and our practise promotes mental unity.. It is true that the 8:30 and 4 o’clock classes remind one of Chardybis and Scylla, as something to be avoided yet, nevertheless, like Ulysses’ sailors we may learn to accept a challenge. It is certain that no sweet strains lure the un¬ wary to the feet of Hermes, notwithstanding knowledge grows from year to year. The Academic Department is not the “Fairy Land” of Beethoven, on the other hand it is not the “Red Sea” of the Egyptians. Throughout each day one may hear the hum of voices in the conning tower; an occas¬ ional “ha ha” to punctuate the discourse of the teacher and less frequently the argumentive prattle of the juniors from their forum in the boys’ cloakroom which is located in the basement, it is equally certain that other less musical notes are heard floating through the air—some from above, some from below, and some from nowhere in particular, for in¬ stance jazz from the Common Room, razz from Arthur’s Baby Grand, and rattle of live coals from off the altar—I mean coal heaver’s shovel—thus we meet the Muses all the day. There are two new ventures this year, a new class in English, exclusively for New Canadians, taught by Miss Hickerson, assistant to Miss Field; also a senior matricula¬ tion class of twenty-two students. The former have now forsaken the halls of learning for the fields of culture, agri¬ culture, of course; the latter, however, are still a vigorous and flourishing group. While the day of reckoning hovers above us as a blanket of clouds by day, and a pillow of fire by night, yet it is safe to predict that, out of the haze of mid-day, and out of the smoke of midnight, there will come a glorious morning on or before July 1; sounds like a lien, not a siren note. There have been several changes in our staff this year. Miss W. M. Coone, B.A., is the classical instructor, Mr. Elliott Birdsall, junior science and mathe¬ matics, and Mr. Fisher, B.Sc., the senior science and mathe¬ matics teacher. Several misadventures have befallen us this year. Miss P. H. Woods, Lady Dean, was unfortunately removed to the
