1 , 2 . . EECAUSE they be- lieve there are worse things than death, and foremost of these is to live under the heel of a dictator, many students of the University of Mani- toba joined the active forces to fight for their high ideals. To them we sincerely dedicate this twenty-second volume of the Brown and Gold. .. A BRITON'S CREED We shall go on to the end .... We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans. we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air .... We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be .... We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and streets and in the hills .... We shall never surrender, and even if. which I do not for a moment believe. this island, or even part of it, is subjugated and starving, then our Empire across the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, will carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the new world, in all its strength and might, sets forth to the rescue and liberation of the old .... Britain will fight the menace of tyranny for years and, if necessary, alone. W1NsToN CHURCHILL. 1

. wid? THE program of the University of Manitoba Dramatic Society was greatly augmented during the term 1940-41. This year, in order to co-ordinate all the dramatic undertakings at the Uni- versity, one director was appointed. Mr. Mercer McLeod, well known in radio and theatrical circles, was appointed to be in charge of all dramatics. This year, as in the past, a major pro- duction was presented on November 21-22-23. The play pro- duced was the recent stage and screen success, Stage Door, by Edna Ferber and George Kaufman. The play was artistically and financially a great success. The annual Interfaculty Drama Festival was held on Janu- ary 30-31 and February 1. This year there were ten entries in the Festival, one of them being from Brandon College. ' Three new ventures were undertaken this year. The Dra- matic Society in co-operation with the Social Committee, pre- sented the first edition of the Varsity Follies -an all student musical revue-on February 7, as the feature of the annual SIDNEY SHEPS Varsity Varieties. President Another innovation was the presentation of a series of six plays over a local radio station. Three plays were presented First term and three were presented second term. The most radical venture was the introduction of bi-weekly classes in draamtics, open to all U.M. S.U. students. These classes included instruction in dramatics, make-up, voice, diction, stage and radio technique. This innovation proved to be very popular. The University of Manitoba Dramatic Society played a major part in providing entertainment for His Majesty's Forces. Several military performances were presented, which included performances of Stage Door, Interfaculty Drama Festival plays and Varsity Follies. The U. of M. Dramatic executive should be proud of the record of the society for the term 1940-41. Buck Row-Robert Middleditch, Eleonor Maxwell, Kay McGirr, Earl McFadden.
