In the wintry days, with all the Seniors working hard, Making pies of doughnuts and cakes of soap and lard. Kizzie spelling in the gym 50 miles an hour, Making love to Edna in a way that turned her sour. Chorus: It ' s a long way to June and closing, But we ' ve reached here at last. You can ' t do it if you ' re dozing. But stick to it hard and fast. Medals and diplomas, kisses and friends, These things are some of the nice things That closing day sends. Doc. has put away her apron, Winifred her book. No one has to add up figures, No one has to cook. Every one is getting flowers, and lovely smiles and nods. All things come to her who just digs right in and plods.

vox COLLEGII Message from the Retiring Principal, Dr. Hare To be known as Principal Emeritus This is not to be considered a farewell message. Whilst retiring from the duties and responsibilities of Principalship, it is not my intention to cut loose from the College altogether. The new Principal, the Rev. F. L. Farewell, B.A., is a warm personal friend, in whose ability and fit- ness for the position I have the fullest confidence. At his request I have decid- ed to teach a couple of subjects in the College this coming year, so that I expect to be in the College building nearly every day. Whilst I shall miss several mem- bers of the staff with whom I have been so pleasantly associated for several years, , I am pleased to be able to assure all in- coming students that no pains or expense have been spared in filling all vacancies Avith teachers of the highest academic standing, social culture and personal magnetism that will carry the College forward to still greater efficiency and success. I believe that what has been accomplished during my administration of forty-one years is but the beginning of still greater things. There are to-day forces behind and within the College that must bring it still more prominently to the front, and keep it in the white light of public approval and confidence. Be- sides its own real merits in staff, equip- ment, courses of study and palatial build- ings, which must always remain the chief source of its strength, it is worthy of notice that the Trafalgar Daughters, dur- ing the past year, have made themselves felt in the life and working power of the College in a way that was not thought of previously. The banquet that was given in the College a few weeks ago, and that was so largely attended by Trafalgar Daughters, gives some idea of the hearty and loyal support which the College is receiving and will continue to receive from this noble band of students. As I listened to the exceptionally able and elo- quent addresses given by them in re- sponse to the toasts Woman in Liter- ature, Woman in Scientific Research, Woman in Music, Woman in Art, Woman in Oratory, Woman in Politics, Woman in Social Service, and Woman in the Home, and saw one of their number so capably presiding over this interesting function, I felt that a new power had arisen that will play an important part in determining the future developments of the College. Now that the Societies or Chapters have been or- ganized under the control of a central governing Board, and they are about to obtain legal status and representation on REV. J. J. HARE, PH. D. Principal Emeritus. the College Board of Directors, it will be difficult to overestimate what their added influence and help will mean in the life of the school. Their presence at the Com- mencement Exercises and their kind re- membrance of Mrs. Hare and myself in a beautiful case of sterling silver cutlery, besides their gifts for other members of the staff, afford sufficient proof that they recall with pleasure their school days and their teachers, and that when they come to take part in the actual management of
