T x K Academic Prizegiving UUNE, 1956t The Academic Prizegiving of the School was held, as last year, in the spacious Moyse Hall of McGill University. Guest of Honour was l-lrs Excellency, Sir Douglas Copland, K.B.E., CMC., LLD., Australian High Commissioner to Canada, whose speech in part was as follows: You have youth, your country has youth, as does mine, and thus you are doubly blessed. You belong to a great Commonwealth of Nations with its inheritance of parlia- mentary government, the rule of law and freedom of association among peoples of vastly different race, religion and experience. lt is an expanding Commonwealth, rich in all the forces that foster the good life and offering unlimited opportunities for enterprise ancl adventure. There is much awaiting you in your own country, there is even more in your Commonwealth and in other fields of fruitful international cooperation. The frustrations of the thirties and the futility of the days of isolation belong to the past, there is no place for them in the world you are entering, We cant afford any longer to be little Canadians or little Australians, we have to embrace the problems of the Commonwealth, and of a new and exciting world, as well as our own, and make a contribution to this new world as well as to the pressing claims of our own countries.
