LAKEHEAD TECHNICAL INSTITUTE YEAR BOOK It was my honour to fill the position of President of the Student ' s Administrative Council at the beginning oi the second term. I wish first to acknowledge the able direction given by our former president, Bob Saxberg, and to wish him the best of luck. The Students ' Administrative Council tried to present an adequate . social programme to a very lively student body this year. The Council and I wish to thank you very much for your co-operation. We also wish to thank Mr. Ross, the staff advisor, and Mr. Braun, the Principal, for their advice and assistance. The Year Book Committee, under the guidance of Editor Shizuye Togawa, and the Athletic Association, directed by President George Miller, also deserve con- gratulations for their admirably performed tasks. The most interesting fact regarding this year ' s enrolment at the Lakehead Technical Institute is that more students are in Applied Science than in any other faculty. The need for more engineers and technicians has been apparent for some time in Canada ' s growing industrial system. Most of the reason for this interest in Applied Science are economic: the vastness and proximity of natural resources, the existence of a ready market for goods in America and Europs, and the need for defensive armament against an unmistakably bright-hued enemy. Never before has democracy depended so much on the abundance of material goods. Our chief concern today is security. We have urged on our industrial expansion in the hope it will save us from an economic downfall and from direct aggression. We have set aside the humanities as being too impractical to cope with the present world fears. Once the nations are at peace again, we may return to the humanities as offering a rational approach for our scientific achievements. No more dubious scientific triumphs like guns and atom bombs! We agree with Mr. H. G. Wells: But if the dangers, confusions, and disasters that crowd upon men in these days are enormous beyond any experience of the past, it is because science has brought him such powers as he never had before. And the scientific method of fearless thought, exhaustively lucid statement, and exhaustively criticized planning, which has given him these as yet uncontrollable powers, gives him also the hope of controlling these powers. ■ — KEN A. METHOT. — 5 —

LAKEHEAD TECHNICAL INSTITUTE YEAR BOOK MESSAGE FROM THE ADVISORY BOARD The Lctkehead Technical Institute is now in its fifth year. Many students have been graduated in Technical Mining and Technical Forestry. Several others have completed the first-year university course in Applied Science, Forestry, Arts, and Commerce. Besides this, many short courses have been given in special subjects and trades. Those who have graduated in Technical Mining and Technical Forestry are nearly all pursuing their chosen calling in their respective fields and reports from the industries indicate that they are a credit to the Institute. Those who have gone ahead to various universities have done well in the courses they have chosen. Part of their success at least is due to the sound training they received at the Lakehead Technical Institute. All this would seem to indicate that our school is now beyond the trial period — it has proven its worth. It remains for us to decide where we are going to go from here. The Lakehead Technical Institute can be the forerunner of a junior col- lege at the Lakehead and a junior college in turn can be the forerunner of a university. People who believe that Northwestern Ontario will continue to grow in population, industry and wealth feel that with proper support and wise planning such an objective can be reached in the not-too-distant future. The present quarters of the school and its location do not lend them- selves to expansion nor for use as a junior college. A start must be made on the new school, on the inter-city site to which it holds title. Architects plans are now being submitted to the Department of Education for approval. Every effort is being made to get this project under way. It can be said that future opportunities in this District for our young citizens depends on the success of this effort. P. V. LeMAY, Chairman, Advisory Board. — 4 —
