Tln flllemoriam S. J. BADCLIFFIC, NIA., ID.PAr3D IS life was gentle: and the elements so mi.r'd in him. that Nature might stand up. and soy to all the world. This was a man. ' For eleven, successire years this book has carried a message from the late Principal Radcli-17'e, a message of hope and cheer. This year it bears a tribute to his memory. a tribute of respect and lore. All who knew Dr. Ra.deli-ffe honoured him for his .sound scholarship. his intellectual honesty, and his unerring wisdom. He was a great education ist: his adrice was sought and valued by the officials of the Department of Education. He was a great principal: he adm inislered this school with kindness to all and injustice to none. He was a great teacher: no one ever sat in his classes without gaining a new admiration for the beauties of English literature. In his death the cause of education in Ontario su jfered a severe loss. But those who knew Dr. Radcliffe best lored him for his gifts of heart and soul. To those the sense of loss is personal rather than professional. For Dr. Radcliffe was above all a good friend. There was no one to whom teachers and students turned more naturally when in difficulties. And it was not only that his good sense guided aright but that his cheerfulness and sincerity heartened and inspired. To have a talk with Dr. Radcliffe was to go out not only wiser but better and happier. And so there are thousands who. when his name is mentioned. think of him not as a teacher but as afriend, one of the best . His own, soul overflowing with goodness and happiness. he went through life. touching the souls of others. changing darkness to sunshine. and quickening in all the hope of happiness. That such a spirit should cease to be is un- thinkable. Better it is and wiser to think of Dr. Hadclife in some new environment, now as ever. genial. kindly, good, and true. THORNTON RIUSTARD. NIA..
