COMING IN-GOING OUT GtJtJDil10RNlNti! So you are starting in on your College career. Well, don't get too serious about it and don't let the work get ahead of you. You know how it is on the Farm, if you get behind with the spring work, you never seem to eateh up all season, for the weeds seem to grow faster than you can destroy them. So I addressed a young freshman of yesterday. To-day he walks in a Senior and asks for a short write up for the Nensis. Such a short stay at College and so much to learn that it seems like coming in - going out all in a breath. Anil yet there is a vast dil'l'er- ence between First and Fourth Years at College. Our freshman, as 3 rule, has had no preparatory school training: words such as 1.aboratory and Conservatory and t'arl,ohvflrate and Album' inoids have little meaning, if any. Field Day is something new, for any iunmnyr he has done up to this time is to keep up with the dog in the lane, or to head elf pigs or sheep when changing their quarters. But he goes on, keeps his eyes open and returns again the next fall for his Second Year. This is perhaps the most trying year of all, so many freshmen to discipline-so many classmates who do not expect to return and are sometimes careless in their work-so many studies to get hold of, and so fast does time fiy. Then the smaller Third Year. Some new faces come in here and create new friendships. Nova Seoatia sends her quota and real work em nnnences. ln this year the world's affairs must be settled in debates: new religions must be tackled and thrown aside, new political platforms must be built and destroyed, and new and better theories must be tested. Yes, a testing year. And now here you are going out.' God bless you and may you do as well in life as you have done in College is the wish of your friend and President, KL LRIIININN lik--X.MS,l,l.U

It was in and around this Simcoe town that he learned to read, write and argue, attending t'ollt-giate after passing: his En- trance.
