Hi i ,I .i,,., l,, D - A . -, 1 Q'-fa af , Q .ff 9 ,J f-. H' ff:- 2-. A 5 -'1 F4 f, As the war progresses from year to year, its influence on student life at Alberta becomes more and more marked. There is little time now for anything but the job in hand-to carry out our purpose in attending University, while shouldering the responsibilities which at- tend the privilege of obtaining an education in wartime. Yet we who are here during such troubled times, though subject to more work and less play than most of our predecessors, will look back at our stay at Alberta from the peaceful days of the future with pleasant memories. We have become accustomed now to seeing the members of the armed services who have taken up residence on the campus, while the growing number of graduates who have entered into the service of their country is a matter of great pride to us. However, during the past year we have had the privilege of watching yet another evidence of the allied war effort. The Alaska Highway is a heartening symbol of co-operation as well as a tremendous en- gineering undertaking. XVe witnessed with a renewed faith in ultimate victory the influx of men and materials from our great ally to the south, which arrived to carry out this vast project. Now, we have seen the completion of this mighty task carried out against terrific odds in record time. The value of the Highway not only in time of war, but in the future peace cannot be ovei- estimated. The part that it will play in the development of the North after the war will be great indeed, and will have a far-reaching effect on Canada's future. Perhaps the most important feature of the Highway is in that it represents a renewed bond of friendship, under- standing and goodwill between two great na- tions. It is upon such a basis as this that the peace between nations must rest in time to come. This, then, is the theme of the Evergreen and Gold. At a time when graduates of Alberta are scattered more than ever to the far corners of the earth and contacts with friends are asily lost, may this book serve to remind you of friendships made during your stay here.
