Our Guest of Honour was F. Cyril james, Esq., M.A., Ph.D., D.C.L., LL.D., Principal and Vice-Chancellor of McGill University, who addressed the school and presented the prizes. In the course of his speech Dr. James referred to George Augustus Selwyn, first Bishop of New Zealand, memorialised by the foundation of Selwyn College, Cambridge, after which our school was named. Such men as he are amongst the trail-blazcrs. said Dr. James, and whatever they find to their hand to do, they do it with all their might. One of the great joys of life is to find that all really worth-while work can be lots of fun, and he counselled the boys to prepare themselves to make a genuine contribution, large or small, to the enrichment of their generation. Mr. A. R. Gillespie, Chairman of the Board of Governors, occupied the chair and introduced the speaker. Rev. R. J. Berlis, B.D., minister of the Church of St. Andrew and St. Paul, pronounced the invocation, and the headmaster presented a brief report on the activities of the past year. The choir, under the direction of Mr. Phillips, rendered two songs most acceptably.
