MR, HAROLD VV. MOORE Our four years have held countless hours of happiness. yet we have not escaped the sorrow ol .'1 ultimate loss. On April 7th of our third vear li, W. Moore, whom we called Dintv, died .fter a long illness. He was a native of Thorndale and a student in botany, We never knew Dinty as a really well man. yet his Iri.h wit and enthusiasm were unfailing. He enjoyed the scraps of the good old Grub Alley days, but his greater joys were off the beaten path. A tramp with this born field naturalist was a revelation of hidden secrets on every hand- Dinty loved plants and the fostering of needv. growing things.

NTAHQHO oieiciluifrtiiitac Coimoe 9 MR. JOHN ALEXANDER FLOCK 1885 - l929 Let each obey his own commandment is the penetrating phrase which Sir Gilbert Parker fittingly associates with the adventurous life of one of his heroes. Only those who were privileged to know Mr. Flock most intimately understocd that some such motto ruled behind that almost restless spirit and intense nature which character- ized his life. He was a man under constraint, the constraint of obedience to his own commandment, The exact nature of the command which so dominated his heart and soul and mind he alone knew, but the definite direction which it gave to his life was an open secret to all. Killing time, the chief occupation of some slothful souls, was to him a high offence of the same general order as blasphemy. Time, the most precious gift, could not be spent on things trival, but must be used to the greatest advantage, which he conceived to be the acquisition of knowledge, especially pertain- ing to science, religion and literature. Hours were spent daily in such reading, and with a very definite purpose in View-the intellectual and moral development of the mind that as a Fine instrument it might execute a worthy work upon the hearts and minds of men. This deep desire had some fulfilment in the lecture room. where students felt that they had received more than a technical introduction to the vast subject of biology. Something of the marvel, and mystery, and worth of all life, was caught from this one who experienced it so deeply. A source of great joy to him- self and benefit to the students was his weekly Bible Class, attended regularly by many students. His life-long desire to be a minister of the Gospel was realized in a most unusual way, when not manv months before his fatal illness, he was asked by oiiicials cf the United Church to consider ordination for tire ministry. The offer was accepted with great joy, and also a grave sense of the responsibility of the task, The goal, ol his life was reached, but not entered, for death overtook him. Here was a man who found life hard, because he refused to surrender his soul to its vanities. But death, with a body racked by terrible pain, was possessed of a strange peace, for he had listened to the whisperings of God within and obeyed his- own command. IQ-i six
