fyo4jew u By JOHN HENDERSON GARDEN, B.A., B.D., Principal I am pleased to send this little foreword forth with the 35th Yearbook of Mount Royal College. How much we have appreciated you who are our students of what we hope may be the year of victory. In fact Mount Royal College waited thirty-five years for you, and the College is very hopeful that you may make a very special contribution in building a better world. This has been a year of deep significance in the work of the College. There has been enrolled the largest group of students ever to attend and yet the work has progressed with a smoothness and harmony that has been reflected in the high standard of marks obtained. There has been lots of fun and good fellowship but through all there has been a note of seriousness re¬ flecting the titanic struggle that has been taking place throughout the world and leading everyone to make the best of his time so that he may be better fitted for the new day following peace. The year has passed quickly. It just seems like yesterday since we came to the College last Fall somewhat nervous but with high expectations. Today we are going forth with a clearer vision of the tasks that lie before us and better equipped to meet them. A great challenge comes to us all to so live and give such leadership that the sacrifices of our comrades may not be in vain. We have remembered with apprecia tion the names of our former students and members of the staff who are serving in the war and have grieved deeply as some of the finest have paid the supreme sacrifice. “They shall not grow old as we who are left grow old, Age shall not wither them nor the years contemn, But at the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them.” We deeply mourn their loss, but pledge ourselves anew to make real their vision of a better world, remembering that— “What builds a nation’s pillars high And its foundations strong ? Men who for truth and honor’s sake Stand fast and suffer long. Brave men, who work, while others sleep, Who dare while others fly — They build a nation’s pillars deep And lift them to the sky.”
