to produce leaders. and University School has an enviable record for producing them in many walks of life. Already in just over one half- century some well-known names are found in your records. I am thinking of N111 Dana Wlilgress. the Canadian Ambassador to NATO. and a great leader in their councils. of General Loewen. Adjutant- General of the British Army. of Colonel lNIerritt, V.C. and of others. including two Admirals in my own Service. The reason L'niversity School is expected to produce leaders is because you are provided. in your community living. in your work. in your games and particu- larly in the case of Aprefects and captains of teams, with a first-class opportunity of cultivating the qualities of leadership. These qualities are something that we have to work at during school. after leaving school and right on through life if we are to give back in some measure what has been given to us. Colonel Merritt expressed this same thought at the Cadet Inspection earlier this month. when he urged the Cadets to follow up their service here with service in their various professions and callings after they left school. Now comes a final and very important question. especially to the boys who are leaving this term. WVhat are the essential qualities which must be acquired by all would-be leaders? First and foremost is integrity of character-the quality of genuineness, of playing fair with others and being true to oneself. 'fThe second quality is professional knowledge. There is no sub- stitute for this and it can be only acquired by hard work and patient study. The next four may or may not be in the right order lthat is a matter of opinion! but here is my view:- Number three- determination and resolutiong that is, the will to win, I have seen it here in action on the Rufwer Field. hh Number four - judgment. or the exercise of common sense. l'Number five - a sense of humour, to help you and others when times are tough. lN1ost Irishmen have no difficulty here. but for many of us it has to be cultivated. i'Number six-understanding of others and the desire to help them. You can be successful in this world without understanding, but to do so you will have to work harder and have more ability than the people who are in sympathy with their fellows. I would urge you to concentrate on the first two. integrity of character and professional knowledge, and to remember the next four. determination. judgment. sense of humour and understanding. If you have the first two the rest will come more easily. I would also like to wish you who are leaving every success in your chosen field of endeavour. I would like, too. to thank the Headmaster for inviting me here today and. as a parent, to congratulate him. the Board of Governors and the Staff on the success they are making of this school. I wish the school itself continued progress, prosperity and success in its all- important and vital task. ll
