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

Glee Club again scored a triumph with the major production, The Yeomen of the Guard, which was acclaimed as the club's finest achievement during its five years of Gilbert and Sullivan Operas. This was due in no small measure to the painstaking training given by the directors, Mrs. Sinclair, Mr. Gibson, and Melba Smith, and to the efficient functioning of Executive, Business Committee, and Design Committee. Many opportunities were presented in the varied roles for principals, and these were made the most of, in both singing and action. by a well chosen and enthusiastic cast. The chorus was an active feature of the Opera, full of color and varied gesture. The valuable offering of the Glee Club is that training is given in all aspects of the Opera, for students interested in these. Thus, the orchestra provided opportunities for many, as did the make- up, discipline, stage, costume. publicity and adver- tising committees. Great credit is due to Archi- tectural students who designed and made the very attractive set of Tower Green, and also the many properties. U.M.S.U. GLEE CLUB PRINCIPALS Back Row- J. Wilson E.
