HE TOLLING of bells-the roll of muHled drums-the roar of minute guns-an Empire is in mourning. For the King is .deadl But impressive though they be, these are but the outward signs of an Empire's grief. This is the greatest demonstration of sorrow the world has ever known, for George V was not only a great king, but a great man. The nations respected his sincerity, but the people, his virtue. Far more than any other monarch, he was loved for the simplicity of his conduct. This was his key to all hearts and all hearts bowed in sorrow at his death. ' ' We, the students of the Glebe Collegiate, join with the students of similar Canadian institutions in expressing our deep grief over the death of our late beloved King, George V. To his most worthy successor and dutiful son, King Edward Vlll, we pledge our sincere loyalty and devotion. Long may he reign, and may he be given wisdom and strength to meet the many problems of Empire which he will be facing from time to time. The King is Brad- dlnng iliuz tht Kings 431' G QL

UX GLEBANAGEQQ- mf-JDALERE FLAMMAM ONCE WOT LEBE ESTABLISHED some sort of recordin October, when 1685 students were enrolled-about 65 more than last year. But let us beware! Size does not necessarily mean greatness! Otherwise Goliath would have made short work of Davidg Lars Porsena and his hosts would have backed I-Ioratius right across his famous bridge, and Primo Carnera would have demolished joe Louis. Of course we of the Glebe refuse to admit that increased size inevitably implies lower quality. just now perhaps, we may be outgrowing the splendid new building in which we are housedg but it seems to us that we are somewhat like a healthy and vigorous young boy who finds his new suit a bit too tight for him. Such a condition may be a bit inconvenient, but after all, growth is usually a sign of robust health. We submit, there- fore, that it is not always possible to wrap up a good thing in a small parcel. just the same, I am quite sure that very few people welcomed the increased attendance at this time. Certainly the Board was forced to scratch its collective head to provide for such a multitude, a couple of us in the office can display without pride a few extra gray hairs, the teachers were obliged to sharpen the old blue pencil a little more often, and you students your- selves-wouldn't you rather number a hundred or so less and not be quite so crowded? ' But stay! The verdict is not quite unanimous! I do know a small group of people who are delighted with the larger classes-I mean the Editors of the Lux Glebanrz. For, say they, every additional student means just one more prospective customer for the Lux. And when one has worked as hard as the Editors have worked, it is pleasant to contemplate the prospect of a wider circle of readers. So come, ye 1685! Come, ye staff and ye ex-students! Let us see it Glebe cannot establish another record this year-a record sale of the Lux! -IV. D. T. ATKINSON. isle
