Slabergal College J laga?tne Vol. III. MAY, 1910 No. 3 Redwood, May 1st, 1910. A request from Havergal for a few lines for the 1910 Magazine, is indeed a compliment. The question is, what to say; how to begin? In the College Calendars various references are made to the home life of the girls in the College. Two of these references in particular, have always strongly appealed to me, and I feel that I cannot do better than make them a prominent feature of my few remarks. The first, an extract from the Calendar of 1901, is as follows: — The great aim of the College will be, to provide a healthy life for the girls, developing and strengthening their characters, and thus helping them to lead useful and truly happy lives. The second, is an extract from the latest Calendar: — It is not enough, however, to aim at mental and physical de- velopment alone. Since the girl of to-day is the home-maker of to-morrow, the home life of the School must be such as to help her to grow in Christian ideals, in womanly sympathy, and in sound common sense. It is our endeavour to arouse in each girl who comes under our influence, a sense of earnest purpose, and of responsibility for the building up of her own life, and the larger life of the new nation of which she is a member. It is the fact of being, even though in but a small degree, part of the administration responsible for ideals and sentiments so marked and lofty, that has made my connection with Havergal so enjoyable, so happy and so inspiring. That unswerving devotion of the Principal, the staff and the officers, to the interests of the College, the intense loyalty of the scholars, and the splendid esprit de corps of the College as a whole forms a combination so far-reaching, and so forceful, that Havergal must now be considered an important factor in the educational life of the country. That the College may increasingly furnish that healthy home life, already referred to, and continue to grow in strength and influence for all that is good is my earnest hope. Sincerely yours, EDWARD L. DREWRY II
