EMERY WEAL Page 17 President ' s Report for Fall Term J7ELLOW students, I am sure we can be quite justified in saying that this has been a most prosperous year, and that none of us will regret taking part in the social activities of the Tech., but on the contrary feel well rewarded for any effort we have put forth. There is always the need for social improvement, and we 11 probably find no greater opportunity to take our place in this en¬ deavour than here at the Tech. We have gained the friendship of many students, in addition to the valuable knowledge which we have acquired at this fine Institute. —MISS MARION DUNHAM.

Page 16 EMERY WEAL The Story of Our institute By R. K. Newton yHE Provincial Institute of Technology and Art had its inception during the First World War in the year 1916. In 1917 it was taken over by the Dominion Government as a Soldier’s Re-esta blish¬ ment Centre. In 1920 the Institute returned to Provincial control and the following year saw the corner-stone laid for a building to house the Normal School and the Institute of Technology and Art. In 1922 the Institute moved into its new home and carried on in these quarters until 1940 when war again intervened and its buildings and facilities were turned over to the Royal Canadian Air Force for a Wireless Training School under the British Commonwealth Air Train¬ ing Plan. The activities of the Institute moved temporarily to the Coste House in Mount Royal and the Grand Stand Building at Victoria Park. The Coste House, which is a magnificent residential building, is the present home of the Art and Dressmaking Departments. The remaind¬ er of the Departments and offices function at the Victoria Park Grand Stand Building. In the Fall of 1946 the Institute will again unite with the Faculty of Education in its own buildings back on the North Hill. The build¬ ings, which have been completely renovated, will be equipped with new and better machinery and more up-to-date equipment. Again it will be possible to “look up” and see a centre of Pro¬ gressive Education.

Page 18 EMERY WEAL President ' s Report for Winter Term YEAR has come to a close since the ending of the Second World War, a year which we have spent enriching our minds with knowledge while we have attended the Institute. We feel certain that we will be bigger and better men and women because of our contact with the Institute. Countless messages such as this have been written in the past— the messages are soon forgotten, but the people we’ve come to know during our short period here at the school, will not. It would be interesting for us all to be able to follow the lives of our school mates. Without a doubt there are many who will be tops in industry. With that thought in mind, I’d like very much to wish you all the very best for the future, and may we meet again. —KIRK WOOLVERTON.
