FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1968-1969 ibn .giaeiri The Headmaster We are proud to record that at the Fall Convocation of Sir George Williams University the degree of LL.D. lhonoris causal was conferred upon the Headmaster. The honour is paid, we feel, not only to Dr. Speirs for his long and prominent career in the service of education and the community, but to Selwyn House School, whose course he has directed for almost a quarter of a century. Dr. Speirs subsequently delivered the Convo- cation Address, in which he urged the importance of the humanities in an increasingly technological world. In the course of his speech he said, Surely it is fundamental to our concept of an enriched life that man cannot live by bread alone, that the sifted wisdom of humankind has an inspiring message for our atomic world, and that it avails little for our researchers in outer space to probe the hidden mysteries of the moon, if we cannot understand or get along with our next door neighbour or make our everyday environ- ment a happier or more secure place for our children . . . Keep up your studies in the humani- ties, for therein lies an enrichment of the mind and the heart that is beyond all measuring to your maturing self, and it may well be to the business or profession to which you are dedicat- ing your talents. In recording our congratulations to Dr. Speirs and our pride in sharing with him this honour, we commend these words to all boys who are setting out in the world.
