A Message from the President It is with great pleasure that I give a word of welcome to th-e first issue of the Carleton College Year Book. Like everything else about the College, it is a new venture. I wish it many years of success as an organ of student opinion and activity. Carleton College is a new departure in education. Established dur- ing the greatest war in history, it was founded for two reasons: first, in the hope that it would help to- keep alive the love of study in the hearts and minds of many whom the fortunes of war had taken away from School and College, bringing them to Ottawa to serve their Countryg and second, to create a new and permanent centre of higher education for the City of Ottawa and the adjacent districts. That it has been so warmly welcomed in the community is a source of gratification to those responsible for its pro- motion. We believe that in the post-war world, education will occupy a much larger place in the thought of Canadians, and that a place of great usefulness will be found for Carleton College. It has been a great source of pleasure to me personally to be again among students. I deeply appreciate the consideration shown by all of you under the trying conditions of a new departure. Next year, with a somewhat enlarged curriculum and a year of experience behind us, I am sure that we will all End the road a bit easier. That so many of the Uni- versities of Canada have agreed to accept our work as an equivalent to their own is a source of gratification and an assurance of our future. Happy days will return again after the scourge of Hitlerism has been banished from the earth, and a reign of freedom and progress again established. There will be a large place in the New World for educated men and women. The problems of democracy are complexg success in dealing with them will depend upon the sincerity and unselfish devotion of those whose education fits them for leadership. We must n-ever forget that the trained intelligence of a nation is its greatest asset, greater than any material re- source. To the students I would say: Don't be afraid of knowledge. Keep your hearts clean and your heads high. Let duty to C-od and Country occupy a first place in your thoughts, and an honourable and useful future awaits you. ,JM page four
