HE importance of a Liberal Arts College functioning in a University group should not be minimized. The leading educators of our day are convinced that such a college really enhances the University by contributing to it its peculiar culture and by broadening its scope through an interchange of ideas on the principles that govern life and make it productive of good for the individual and the gen- eral public. On the other hand, the benefits accru- ing to an affiliated and allied college in a Univer- sity group are manifold. The possibilities for the student in Arts and Science are greatly increased. The larger body can open up avenues of instruction be- yond the hopes and dreams of the smaller college. The views and opinions of the students in the re- spective groups are held in a broader light and are respected more sincerely. 'With these thoughts in mind, it is a real pleasure for us of St. Paul's College to contemplate for the first time our position as a unit in the family of col- leges making up the University of Manitoba. Natur- ally, our beginning has had to be on a small scale. We are confident, however, that as time progresses we shall be taking a greater and fuller share in the cultural developments of the community. We feel certain at St. Paul's that we have begun propitiously, with the sympathetic understanding and interest of the maturer University body. Prosit! C. B. COLLINS, LL.D., Rector
