THE EMERY WEAL Dr. W. G. Carpenter, B.A., LL.D. April 1st, 1941. It is really true that the time is at hand when final partings must take place. The exodus has begun and the “final for the year” has already applied to the Choral Society, the Dramatic Club, the Annual Ban¬ quet and the examinations for Farm Mechanics, Welders and the Tractor mdn. But all good things must end that other better experiences may take their place. The year has had many outstanding features. The removal of the Institute from the North Hill plant to the Victoria Park site was perhaps the most out¬ standing event of the year. The willingness and keen¬ ness of hundreds of young men to attend special classes, evening and night sessions, following War Emergency programmes was most conspicuous. At no time in the history of the Institute has there -been shown such a high spirit of earnestness on the part of students. Notwithstanding the depressing effect of the war, there has been prevailing a spirit of hopeful¬ ness and optimism that defies defeat and inspires con¬ fidence for future achievement. This is the spirit that will make a better Canada. It has been a strenuous year with much work and little play. We have sorely missed the extra-curricular facilities of our North Hil l plant. It was with these that the fine spirit of the Institute of Technology has been developed. We are paying a price for our patriot¬ ism, but we have no complaint to make. In time of war sacrifices must be made, and ours are minor in comparison with those bearing the brunt of the battle over there. We are anxious about next year. It is difficult for an educational institution such as ours to compete with a world war. We trust all students will speak well to their friends of the school, that services may be maintained during these trying days and that the Institute may grow in power and influence in develop¬ ing the great natural and personal assets of Alberta. With the going out of students go the best wishes Of the staff towards all that all may succeed in working- out for themselves pleasant, prosperous and honorable careers. All belong to an ever-increasing family, and I trust that time will not unduly weaken the bonds of friendship established here, between student and student, between students and members of the staff, and between all and the “Good Old Tech.” DR.
