18 VOX r OLLEGlI Medallions have not yet arrived : Miss Daisy Brownell, Miss Constance Din- gle, Miss Eleanor Gardner, Miss Jean Hodge, Miss Cora Kilborn, Miss Con- stance Kilborn, Miss Edna Muir. God save the King. College will re-open September 10th, 1913. The following honors that have comt to the College during the past yeiar are worthy of special notice. Seven students have become so pro- ficient in swimming, life saving, etc., that they have been awarded medal- lions from the Royal Life Saving So- ciety of England, the greatest honor in this direction that has ever come to any college or school in Canada. It is generally admitted that swim- ming is a very healthful recreation, but when under the direction of an ex- pert teacher it becomes a science and worthy of the above recognition, it rises to the rank of a valuable accom- plishment that will be of service to the young lady, or to her friends all through life. This honor speaks vol- umes for the attractiveness of the col- lege swimming pool, and for the li- ficiency of the instruction. Another honor gained in the Depart- ment of Household Science deserves special mention. Four students tak- ing the Normal Household Science Course in the College, and having the required literary standing, have i)een awarded by the Education Department of Ontario teachers ' certificates qual- ifying them to teach Household Science in any High, Public or Separ- ate School in the Province of Ontario. This also is an honor that has not come to any other Ladies ' College in this Province, and has been freely giv- en after the most thorough inspection of equipment, staff and course of study, etc. Progress is the key-note of our Col- lege history. Every year a little bet- ter equipment, a more pleasant home life, a little more attention to the cul- tural side of college life ; a little stronger college.
