2 Vox Fluminis .zecficalian To Mr. G. H. Aikins, K.C., the 1945 edition of Vox Fluminis is gratefully dedicated. RIVERBEND The war in Europe is over. What a long time it has been-so long indeed that many of the girls of Riverbend would scarce remember the days before it commenced. During all that time. Miss Carter and a loyal staff have given to Riverbend without stint a great service and leadership. Now, what of the future? In Germany for many years in all schoolrooms and educational institutions youth was taught principles of violence and aggression, the might of the strong to dominate the weak, that the teachings and lead- ership of Christ were not for their nation but only for the weak and feeble minded, that the Sermon on the Mount was but idle chatter. What this world has been suffering under and fighting against is just this gross materialism come to its full grown con- sequences. The German beast lies crushed-Japan, that cruel, and treacherous murderer, must inevitably be taught that violence does not pay. As we look forward to peace in this troubled world we must seek a peace that will justify the great sacrifices made to achieve it. That peace, and the freedoms and liberties that we cherish and the happiness we desire for ourselves and our children and succeeding generations, can rest only on the firm foundations of Christian ideals and enlightened and understanding minds, Here, then, is the great mission and responsibility of our educational centres. Those who have watched the growth and development of Riverbend have reason to be proud of the contribution she has so far made and of her already rich endowment in the hundreds of young people who have worked and played in her kindly atmosphere and have passed through her doors to further education or other duties in life. We have unlbounded faith in her future. Political parties, Governments and their policies will change with the times but the backibone of 'Canada and its social structure is, and will con- tinue to Pbe, the Christian home, howsoever humble, the family altar and the family fireside where hap- piness and contentment are to be found, Where .better can these things be nurtured and developed than in the environment of Riverbend and with the understanding guidance of Miss Carter and her associates. They will confidently meet the challenge to educate and train girls who will cherish these ideals, who will make such homes and who to the extent of their varying aptitudes will radiate a friendly personality to the enrichment of those around them and of themselves. Sincerely, G. H. AIKINS, K.C.
