Brentwood College Magazine Forsan ct haec olim meminisse juvabit Editorial HE first number of Brentwood College Magazine has taken the form of a review of the outstanding events and features of interest in the history of the College during the past year. Every effort has been made to ensure that this record be an accurate one, but the editor would like to apologise for any errors that may be found, because there has been very little time to collect material for publication since the issue of this magazine was first decided upon. A few boys have given invaluable help to the editor by sending in articles and sketches, but the number of voluntary contributions has been exceedingly small. Most boys have had to be approached and many gentle hints given before any fruitful result could be obtained. We should like to see on the part of the average boy a much greater keenness to make this journal a success. Articles of all kinds, letters to the editor, and accounts of interesting events, would be welcomed at any time. A school magazine should be produced in very large measure by the efforts of the boys themselves, and it should be the means of giving all boys an opportunity of expressing their ideas for the benefit of the whole school. As one looks back over the events of the past year, perhaps the most extra- ordinary feature that one notices in the history of the College, is its rapid growth. At the opening ceremony fifty boys were enrolled, a very convenient and satis- factory number for the establishment of a new boarding-school. The number has now increased to seventy-five, and next term there will be over a hundred boarders. There are in the school at the present time boys from all parts of British Columbia, and from various cities in Alberta, the United States, China, and Japan. In order to accommodate so many new boys it was found necessary to extend the school buildings. The gymnasium, fully equipped in every particular, was finished a few weeks after the school was opened. At Christmas the governors found it essential to build the fine block of class-rooms in which we are working today. The construction of the new chapel, built almost entirely by the boys themselves, is going ahead day by day. Plans for the erection of an extensive school library are now being considered. In view of such facts as these, the future of the school appears to be exceptionally bright and promising. The activities of the College during the past year, both in class and on the playing-fields, have been so many and so varied that it is a little difficult to recall in detail the events of a year ago. In class-work, naturally, many difficulties arose, when four masters and fifty boys, mostly unacquainted with one another before, met in a new school for the first time. Happily, those difficulties were soon over- come, and at the present time the school is going ahead more like an institution of older foundation. In the domain of sport, the boys of the College have distin- guished themselves almost without exception in football, cricket, rowing, tennis, and golf, and the school should be proud of its record. Visits to factories and to places of commercial and scientific interest have been a definite part of the educational work of the school outside its own bound- Page Seven
