18 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN always the possibility of its going out of existence; Miss Read now pro- posed to form a corporation, which would insure its perpetuation. During the past year this has been accomplished and we have been enabled to make extensive additions. The new gymnasium and swim- ming pool, which have been long awaited, as well as the new dining- hall and several class-rooms are to be erected during the coming summer. In this undertaking the alumnae have given invaluable support to the school and it is greatly to their credit that the alumnae, present and future, may be as proud of the school in years to come, as the school is of them to-day. With their help Branksome has taken its place in the rank of those schools which have made Toronto noted as an educational centre. The school will endure, for it is manifest that the spirit behind it is one not of commercialism but of altruism. The school is not a chattel but a trust; it is not a venture to be kept in existence as long as it is profitable, but an institution which, each succeed- ing year, will exert a wholesome effect upon a widening circle of human lives, and to which an ever-increasing number of Canadian women will owe allegiance and devotion. To the students the school gives much besides scholastic training and a happy, wholesome environment. It has given character and high ideals to those responsive to its influence, and the repayment of that debt is an obligation imposed upon us, not only during our school life, but also when we go out into the world with the love of our alma mater in our hearts and her welfare and interests ever in our minds.
