Brent w o o d College Magazine Editorial THE Brentwood College Magazine has, in the past few years, attained such a high standard that the editors for this year realize that their efforts demand some explanatory preface. We very much regret to inform our readers that Mr. Round, our editor, has been absent from duty for the past six weeks. He was hurt at the cricket nets by a ball which struck him on the face, fracturing his cheek-bone, and producing concussion. The whole school trusts that he will soon be about again. This school year opened well, and Christmas found both our work and games well up to our usual standard. The Lent Term, however, proved itself to be most troublesome. The weather was unusually cold — influenza descended on us, and recoveries were slow. The Medical department of the school was put to a severe test, but came through with flying colours, thanks to Dr. Leeder, and Mrs. Adam who took charge as soon as our Matron was incapacitated. The last week of the Lent Term was saddened by the death of Mr. Cocks, who had been on the staff from the foundation of the College, and a housemaster for the past three years. The sympathy of all will be extended to his widow and two children. His work at Brentwood College will live long after his death. All who came under him realized his worth, not only as a great teacher, but as a sympathetic friend: his readiness to share in all our activities, and his help in times of trouble will leave a blank in our lives. The Summer Term did not live up to its name. However, despite the cold weather, cricket has been in full swing, and our 1st eleven is probably the best cricket eleven we have ever had at Brentwood. In our times of trouble referred to above, Professor Farr from Victoria College, and Mr. Lister from Victoria High School gallantly came to our rescue, and all Senior boys, writing Lniversity Examinations, realize how deep a debt of gratitude we owe them. Reference is made elsewhere to the building of two Squash Racquets Courts. The game proved most popular, and a good standard of play was reached. After six years, we are pleased to see our traditions more firmly established. It is no small accomplishment to have matriculated from Brentwood ninety-two boys in five years. Our old boys are now in residence at eleven different Universities. Our standard at cricket, rugby, rowing, and tennis has never been equalled to our knowledge by any one school in Canada. We are proud, and justly proud, of our school. Page Three
