FOREWORD In the scnice of government there is probably no body of men who lia e more signalK ' achie cd than the Ro al Mounted Poliec. To face new and e ' er changing problems in the North West Territories of Canada with their thousands of square miles of dangerous patrol called only the hardiest and ablest of men to the Mounted Police. The Indian and Eskimo have learned respect for the white man ' s law and have accepted police administration in every need, whether of food or of health, in forest or game preservation. Illicit liquor dealers and traders have found life hard, and criminals enjoy no rest in Canada. There is peace and order in Canada, and th e names of the small body of Royal Canadian Mounted Police who have kept it are indelibh ' written into historv as one of the finest contributions to the progress of man. The Class of W ' 40 is indeed fortunate to have as a class name the organization of the famous Ro al Canadian Mounted Police.
