TI-IE COLLEGIATE l'2l This year it was t'hought advisable to make a distinction between those who have received their diploma and the others who failed to complete their course. It is only reasonable that such a distinction should be made because the s-tudent wfho receives a diploma has achieved somethinig not only for him- sellf but also for the school. As stated before, an alumnus is a graduate, not one who has never received a diploma. To those whose names appear below we wish you every success in the future and may the memories of the Sarnia Collegiate be treasured ones in your new walks of life.

IZO? T Ha E c o LLEGIATE to receive the training for your chosen profession. But before all else we must recog- nize that Universities and Higher Education are bound up with one of the greatest economic problems of t'he day, viz. t'he over-ipopulatciion of the professions. The facts are brief- ly these: t'he desire for Higher Edu- cation and the prosperity Wfhich will permit it have become so Widespread that t'he Universities of Canada are over-crowded. It follows t-hat the governing bodies can nlow afford to be selective. Tuituion fees have been raised in many colleges and the stand-ard of academic proficiency has been elevated repeatedly. These are just defenesive measures which have been adopted in an effort to re- lieve the acuteness of the economic problem. The point of it all is just this-the Universities have become Qand are becoming increasingly more sol places for YX'orkers and XYorkers only. If you will permit a vulgar expression, it is the man or woman who produces the goods , academically who remain at the Uni- versity. The others beco-me what are humorously known as Christ- mas Gr'aduiates . The splendid a- cademic standard of S.C.l.8zT.S.. strictly lived up tfo, will preclude the possibility of the fawilure of any graduate to meet the challenge of the modern University. It is our earnest hope that every prospective graduate will keep these facts be- fore his mind's eye when the time comes for him to step out into the next lap of the Great Academic Ad- venfture. lVith best wishes for the con tinued success of t-he whole student body, and for the success of this year's Collegiate , I am Yours very cordially, R.
