FOREWORD Once more it is an honour to write a foreword to VOX COLLEGII. I must picture you as in the midst of June - and I would like to be able to say, Congratulations , assuming that you have passed your examinations! But at this distance (it is only February) I know that much has to be done before that realization. Yet, you will agree with me that whatever the result be for you, it will have been to a large extent the measure of your effort. You will mark down this year in your diary for several reasons. First, the old order changeth ; this will be the last year before we adopt the Semester system, and I can hear some of you saying that you wish you could be starting again, in order to feel the thrill of working at three subjects instead of six or more at one time. Secondly, you will remember this year because of the beginning made upon our new Chapel and classrooms. For five years I have envisioned the final goal and now it is within our grasp. I shall be looking forward to the first Trafalgar Service in the Chapel in May of next year. For what does our school stand? Students and readers, 1 give you three words - VERITAS, VIRTUS, VENUSTAS - Truth, virtue, loveliness , translated, as you know, out of our Trafalgar Song. If you fill the first with the truth about all things, the final, ultimate value that is to be found in God alone, and if you understand the second with- in the framework of the Sermon on the Mount, and if you clothe the last with that radiance which comes from within Because the heart is pure , then you will have a motto to live by, and excellence to meditate upon, and an inspiration to make your- self big. S. L. Osborne

- 2 - SIR WINSTON CHURCHILL We will fight on the beaches; we will fight on the landing fields; we will fight in the fields, in the streets, and in the hills; and, if necessary, withdraw to our empire and continue the fight; but WE WILL NEVER SURRENDER. Thus spoke Winston Spencer Churchill, orator, soldier, diplomat, and writer, the embodiment of British courage, and determination, in that dark hour of 1940, when Britain and her Commonwealth partners stood alone in the path of a swift tide of conquest rolling over Europe. For one agonizing year the fate of humanity depended upon the organizing ability of one man, and the ears of a world in suspense hung upon his forceful words. He inspired the morale of the B ritish people, re -organized their government, unified and ex- panded their war effort, won allies, and raised the hopes of an enslaved continent. Winston Churchill was in character, ancestry, and experience fitted for his task, a man of untiring energy, rugged physique, indomitable will, keen sense of humour, and complete absence of fear. His military experience in South Africa and as First Lord of the Admiralty in World War I, his heritage from his illustrious father, Randolph Churchill, and his famous ancestor, The Duke of Marlborough, his intimate knowledge of Europe, and of British traditional policy, assisted in his plan of campaign, and in the Big Four con- ferences which turned the tide in 1942 and closed the circle in 1945. Through peril by air, sea, and under the sea, on battle-scarred fronts, and strategic outposts, through bomb-scarred cities, darkened streets, weary days and nights of toil, tears, and terror, the stalwart figure of Winnie with the V signal, carried on to Victory. His detailed memoirs are a priceless contribution to history; and his post-war leader- ship has placed the feet of England on the path to recovery and Europe -- we hope -- on the path to unity. He longs to see harmony, peace, and prosperous co -existence in the world which he has done so much to save. A grateful sovereign persuaded him to accept a title, and Sir Winston Churchill wore the honour proudly in the coronation procession at the head of his beloved Commonwealth. No doubt Sir Winston will soon, at the age of eighty, resign his position as Prime Minister of Britain; but in spirit he will continue like Tennyson ' s Ulysses: How dull it is to pause, to make an end. To rust unburnish ' d, not to shine in use. As tho ' to breathe were life. Life piled on life Were all too little, and of one to me Little remains: And tho ' We are not now that strength which in the old days Moved Heaven and Earth; that which we are, we are; One equal temper of heroic hearts. Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will To strive, to seek, to find and not to yield. Rena McDowell
