Vox Fluminis PRINCIPALS LETTER I Dear Girls: ANOTHER spring has come and brought those very wonder- ful things that we accept so casually-warmth and sun- shine, trees and flowers. To Riverbend it has also brought its usual round of events-the Swimming Meet, the Lilac Tea, Graduation, etc. But this year it has brought to the world that most dreaded of all calamities-war. It is quite impossible for you to imagine what a dreadful thing war is, and I pray you may always be spared such a knowledge. But there is a little that we, even though so far removed from the centre of the conflict, can do. We must in all things be loyal. We must have courage to face whatever the future may bring. We must look forward with confidence and do our best in our own small way, for we each have a duty to perform in these days of stress. In an English paper it says that a civilian's duty in time of war is to work hard, avoid grumbling and save as much as possible. Not very heroic, and not always very easy, but we can do it. In front of the Viceroy's House in New Delhi stands a column, on which are inscribed the words: In Thought Faith, in Word Wisdom, in Deed Courage, in Life Service. So may India be great? No one of us could offer for our country and our Commonwealth any better prayer today. Let us have faith that we are fighting for the right and that we are in God's hands. Yours affectionately, MAY CARTER.
