PRIME MINISTER • PREMIER MINISTRE CANADA I am pleased to extend warm congratulations from the Government of Canada, together with my own, to all the Centennial Year teachers and students of London Teachers ' College. In its first 100 years Canada has grown in stature and status beyond the dreams of Sir John A. Macdonald and Cartier and the other Founding Fathers. We have achiev- ed much in this country. What we will be doing during our Centennial Year is acknowledging this Canadian achievement. We have proud traditions from the past. We have our attachments to language and culture arising from our origins and our origins are various. But we are also a people of today, moving forward to a great destiny as a strong and united We can rejoice in being citizens of this great land. I invite you to share with me this exercise of Canadian faith, in the confidence that we are a nation worthy of our heritage; that we have a rich past on which to build a great destiny for all members of the Canadian family. Equally important to me is my testament to youth. May I take this opportunity to express my faith in you, my belief that your generation will find the resources of mind and heart to translate your hopes into positive, lasting achievement wherever there is a human need - and that is everywhere. country.

MINISTER OF EDUCATION It is a pleasure for me, as Minister of Education, to welcome to the teaching profession the 1967 graduates of the London Teachers ' College. You are entering service in the schools of Ontario in an era of great change in thought and practice. The years ahead will, I am sure, provide new, interesting and rewarding avenues for your contribution to education. In but a few months you will take charge of your own classroom. You have been well prepared for the immediate tasks which face you, and you will grow quickly in experience and ability. It is my hope that you will also grow intellectually as you search for improvement in your teaching skills and take advantage of the many cours- es for teachers offered by the Department of Education and the Universities of Ontario. The world of the late neneteen sixties and the early nineteen seventies will demand much of its youth. Your responsibilities as a teacher are increasingly more exacting and more demanding than they were for the teacher of a generation ago. You carry with you into your teaching positions the confidence and the best wishes of the staff of your College and the Department of Education. May your days as a teacher find you dedicated and enthusiastic as you prepare our children for their fu- ture roles as citizens of our great land ! William G. Davis Minister of Education Toronto, December 30, 1966
