Closing Vaif On Thursday, June 24th, the Annual Closing Day Ceremonies were held at the School. The events of the day commenced with a Corporate Communion Service in the School Chapel at 8:00 a.m., conducted especially for the Graduating Class. At 2:00 p.m. the Leaving Service was held and Archdeacon Forth gave the graduates a forthright and stimulating talk. After this the Prize Giving and closing Addresses took place in the School Garden. The main Address was given by Dr. P. McTaggart-Cowan, the President of Simon Fraser University. It was timely, thought-provoking and prophetic, and it was greatly appreciated by all who were present — an enthusiastic audience of over 600 people. At this time also the Headmaster gave his Annual Report and a few excerpts follow: Talking of a new academic policy at Shawnigan, he said, If we are to take full advantage of the new pro- gramme being implemented in B.C. currently at the Grades 8, 9 and 10 level, and next year at the Grade 11 level, students are going to have the op portunity to specialize at the Grade 1 1 level in either the Arts or the Sciences by taking rigorous courses in these fields, and so advancing in their chosen fields a good deal farther than do students of today. However, for this to be possible, a much more demanding treatment is required earlier on than has been the case to date. Our policy at Shawnigan in September will be to run three Grade 1 1 classes on the new programme — a rigorous science programme, a rigorous humanities programme and a general humanities programme. These will all lead to University Entrance, but bovs will not be permitted to enter these challenging programmes unless they qualify properly at the Grade 10 level, and show that thev will not be out of their depth. At this juncture I wish to make it quite clear that we shall push the humanities every bit as much as the sciences. In the age of super-science and super-technology the humanities have an increasingly difficult task to exist. This must be attended to or there will be serious consequences. With scientific accomplishments unparal- leled in human history, and with a technology whose machines and methods continually revolutionize our way of life, we are neglecting, and stand in serious danger of losing, our culture ' s very soul. Indeed we must see that the need in Canada and in the U.S. for the humanities — in addition to that for science — is a great one. Democ- racy demands wisdom of the average man. Without the exercise of wisdom, free institutions and personal liberty are inevitably imperilled. To know the best that has been thought and said in former times can make us wiser than we otherwise might be, and in this respect the humanities can be our — and, in fact, the world ' s — best hope. I am not saying we shall push the humanities a t Shawnigan to the exclusion of science — as a matter of fact we probably have the best equipped labs at the school level in the province — but I am saying that we wish to push the humanities to the same degree. 10
