In iUfmnriant GEORGES PHIIIAS VANIER In a world where men seldom think of public duty, Georges Philias Vanier lived and died serving his country. To him, devotion to Canada was not a conscious effort, but rather a way of life. He rose to the rank of general, was a member of the Canadian Diplomatic Corps, and, at an age when most men retire, became the Governor-General. He was the first French Canadian to fill that office. In spite of having only one leg and being in poor health, he bravely held high his torch, aflame with dedication and honour. People all over the world mourned when the news of his death reached them. This man ' s splendid career had carried him to many places, and he left indelible marks everywhere. His natural charm and intelligence impressed all whom he met. He raised his children to serve mankind as he had done. We, as Canadians, should be proud to have been compatriots of such a man, and should try to follow his example. Mary Ellen Geggie I appeal to all youn g people to develop a sense of personal discipline. To fail to do so, and to fail to learn the wisdom of self-discipline means failure to become a mature and civilized person. j An excerpt from the Governor-General ' s New Year ' s message, 1966 j The words of the late Governor-General Georges Vanier echo still in the j minds of the Canadian yovith, whom he loved and dignified in his own speeches j and consequently in the thoughts of all Canadians. If self-discipline was his key , to success as an adult, we should all try to attain it, for no one was more of a | success than he. We respected him in life and admired his wide but quiet j influence. In death, we remembered, we read eulogies written on him by our 1 betters and we were sad. The tribute we pay him is not material; we have no gifts or wreaths. But he will hold a lasting place in our memories, an example to us all. i Pam Sears [6]

Debbie summed up their visit in these words: Our trip to Queen ' s University not only showed us the various branches of Mathematics offered at college, but also gave us insight into life at a small university. We all felt a part of Queen ' s, and thoroughly enjoyed the campus — an extremely attractive one overlooking Lake Ontario. We made extensive use of the facilities available to us, especially the brand-new computing centre and the Students ' Union. Each lecture aroused an interest in another field. [8]
