United Colleges - Vox Yearbook (Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada)

(Oh.. JjockkahiA, dddh AA. Since this brief message constitutes my first formal appearance on the hallowed pages of Vox, I want to use it to express my sincere thanks for the warmth and friendliness of the welcome I have been given at United College and, in particular, for the gracious and kindly manner in which the senior years have received me into the college family. That in such a brief time I should feel as completely at home with you is evidence in itself of your generosity of spirit. One of the dominant impressions I have gained from college life this year is that as under¬ graduates you seem to be able to successfully combine an obvious seriousness of purpose with a refreshing enthusiasm for life itself. You are not unaware of the larger goals for living and are beckoned by them. At the same time you give generously of yourselves now as you experience the satisfaction of sharing your life with others in this living community of learning of which you are a part. The hope of any university would be that such seriousness of intent and such zest for life should ever continue within its halls and among all its graduates. The United College family not only gives evidence of its link with the past through its historic central building, but it suggests promise for the future in its new Library and Theological wing. That the old and the new should be placed in such juxtaposition is not without significance. We cling to the fine and cherished traditions which bind us to Manitoba and Wesley Colleges. Yet we move into a new era in which we hope we may build upon the best from the past as we charter a new and more glorious course. In this regard I am particularly conscious of the great indebtedness of United College to the late Principal William C. Graham. His memory will long be revered in these halls and among the graduates and friends of this institution. One is humbled and honored to be given the privilege and the responsibility of building upon the labours of such a distinguished scholar and Christian leader. Vox, it seems to me, has a large part to play, helping the College achieve its truest vocation. It holds us in remembrance to a proud tradition, and at the same time it opens its pages to the fresh and creative effort of each student generation. But perhaps most important of all it helps draw us together in our family life as we pay tribute to the members of one more graduating class. As the years ahead await their contribution in a larger community, may we still remain one in a fellowship where light and truth flourish. WILFRED LOCKHART 7

diioAmL . . . j AST YEAR when I submitted my application for editorship of Vox, I stressed the fact that if I were appointed there would be a radical change in policy. Vox began as the creative un¬ dergraduate magazine of Wesley College. The quality of the material varied from issue to issue, but nevertheless, for years the constant policy was to maintain Vox as the organ of creative thought and expression in the College. For the past few years the emphasis has been ' on the activity side of College life. Whether Vox is to be a yearbook or not is up to the students to decide. The decision this year has been to re¬ suscitate the “old” Vox with its emphasis on creativity. It is sincerely hoped that the contents of this issue will prove the validity of this agoniz¬ ing reappraisal. R. March, Ed. 6
