8 VOX “Felix qui potuit rerum cognosced causas ’ THE GRADUATION NUMBER The acting editor of Vox wishes to apologize for the omission of much important material from this number. With the Editor- in-Chief absent, the staff scattered, and contributors difficult to find, it has been impossible to assemble the necessary articles. The students will, for instance, expect to find the names of members of new executive committees for 1928-’29, the address of the Faculty representative on the occasion of the Grads’ farewell, and some information about Manitoba College and the Theological graduates. Despite strenuous editorial effort these items have not been forthcoming. We regret the incompleteness of the Graduation Number, and beg the indulgence of our readers, under all the circumstances. This issue has been made possible only by the splendid co¬ operation of our publishers, to whom we owe many thanks. THE NEW EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Vox has pleasure in offering hearty congratulations to all the recipients of academic honors at the recent Convocation, and more especially to its Editor-in-Chief-elect, R. Gerald Riddell. Mr. Riddell has shown himself capable not only of winning academic distinction, but also of taking a full share of the duties of office in various departments of student activity. This is rare among those who win scholarships. One looks in vain, usually, for practical fulfillment of the duties assigned them in enthusiastic moments by the student body. They feel their names to be suf¬ ficient ornament to a committee without the need of sharing the toil and the sacrifice of leisure that is exacted from humbler students. We are glad to say that Mr. Riddell has given himself in all earnestness to the real work of any office with which he has per¬ mitted his name to be associated, including the publication of Vox. We look forward with confidence and interest to a refreshed and rejuvenated Vox under his capable leadership next year, and wish the new Editor great success in all his future career. THE GRADUATING CLASS Already the “cold, cruel world’’ has swallowed up the graduates of ’28. At a village wedding the felicitations of the people often include off-stage criticisms of the bride and groom, as an antidote doubtless for excess of happiness and praise. A graduating class, amid its triumphs can scarcely hope to escape criticism. It is the right moment to administer a corrective to their inflated self-esteem. Nevertheless, it is best on the whole that we send them away with a cheery word of encouragement. They are breaking a hundred ties

vox 9 made dear to them by long association, mutual toil and endurance, and mutual enjoyment. They are facing an “Unknown” that will test their courage to the utmost. That this sharp taste of sorrow should be alleviated by our thanks for the service they have rendered to the College, however poorly executed that service may have been, we feel is their due. Vox wishes them godspeed, follows them with friendly solicitude, and bids them keep faith. They leave behind them a record of which they have no cause to feel ashamed. LIGHT IN DARKNESS Stars are of mighty use. The night Is dark, and long; The Rode foul; and where one goes right, Six may go wrong. One twinkling ray Shot o’er some cloud, May clear much way, And guide a crowd. God’s saints are shining lights: who stays Here long must passe O’er dark hills, swift streames, and steep ways Ts smoothe as glasse; But these all night, Like Candles, shed Their beams, and light Us into Bed. They are indeed our Pillar-fires, Seen as we go; They are that Cities shining spires We travell to.
