'7!1eZl' 0 talker? P afdwwm... Emi-on's Nora: With the kind permission of President Sidney Smith. we are printing the full text of his address at the University Day Exercises. This address expresses most fully the part the University of Manitoba plays in Canada's War Effort. Mr. Chancellor, Your Honour, Mr. Premier. Distinguished Guests, Members of the University, Ladies and Gentlemen: It is indeed a happy privilege for me to extend a cordial welcome to the members of the public who are in attendance at the Annual University Day Exercises. University Day is an occasion on which the Uni- versity secures an outstanding speaker and is host to members of the public who are interested in. and support, the institution, and it is also an occasion on which representatives of the University give a report of the stewardship of the institution to its shareholders-the citizens of Manitoba. Notwithstanding that progress has been achieved in the past year in the performance of its normal functions-113 to preserve and make available to the talented youth and to the public at large of this province the cultural heritage of the ages: 123 to push forward the frontiers of knowledge by inves- tigation and researchg and 133 to produce successive generations of young men and young women who may be characterized for clear, honest and tolerant thinking, I will refrain from speaking of these items In the few minutes allotted to me this evening. I will endeavor to inform you of the University's role in the all-important task of the British Empire and our allies-the gaining of victory and the securing of an enduring peace. In speaking of the Univer- sity's contribution to the successful prosecution ol' the war, I would not suggest that the University deserves special credit in this regard, In tact, the University should be in the forefront of the war effort. Otherwise it would be false to its high mission. Universities in democratic countries are not un- aware of the fate of universities in countries which have been subjugated by Hitler and his hordes. Under a totali- tarian regime, universities that produce free, yet discip- lined, spirits cannot be tolerated. Rule by force is the very antithesis of the government by reason, intelligence and co-operation. The University of Manitoba, although at the moment geographically remote from the centre of the bitter confiict, regards itself as an outpost in the pres- ent war, knowing full well that, in the event of a victory by Hitler, there would be a blackout of the importance and significance of the individual, the potency of reason over force and the constant search for truth, beauty and goodness. During this academic session 1,350 male students have been taking part in a programme of military training as members of the U.M.T.U. and the C.O.T.C. All of us on the staff of the University have been delighted by thc eager and cordial response of our young men to this call of their country to prepare themselves for the defence of our way of life. On Saturday, I had the opportunity to inspect, on parade, these young men. I have never been so proud of my membership in the University as I was when I looked at these clear-eyed, steady young men. Six hundred and thirty ladies in the University are tak- ing extra-curricular courses that are related to Canada's war effort-in such Fields as motor mechanics, First Aid. Clerical Service, Child Care. Group Feeding, Home Nurs- ing and Occupational Therapy. We are deeply indebted to many persons outside the University who are instructing in these courses. Students, graduates and members of the staff have joined the Active Forces. and tonight we pay special honor to them. Some members of the staff have been given leave of albsence to engage in full-time or part-time special war wor . A War Auxiliary Council, composed of representatives of the students, staff, graduates and the Board of Gov- ernors has promoted, within the University: 113 the rais- ing of funds for war auxiliary services and the Community Chest: 123 the preparation of material for the Red Cross, and 133 the providing of entertainment for men in the local garrison. The University is co-operating to a great extent with the Canadian Legion War Services in the providing of educa- tional facilities to men on Active Service in Canada and overseas. To' the end that students may be prepared better for special branches of the Armed Services, and for key posi- tions in war industry. new courses have been added to the curriculum. and some old courses have been changed in content. The University, to a considerable degree, has been ll clearing house for the placing of students and gradiiaitcs in special branches of the Armed Services or in war in- dustry for which they are well qualified. On the outbreak of hostilities the University made an inventory of its staff and laboratory equipment and sub- mitted it to the Dominion Government with an oflcr to assist, in every way possible, the war effort. The Univer- sity of Manitoba stands out among Canadian universities because it has made available to the Department of Na- tional Defence the large University Residence which new accommodates the Artillery Training Centre. Particularly having in mind the curtailment. at the pres- ent time. of the programs of British universities, the Cana- dian Government has asked the Canadian universities to carry on and produce young men and women trained to take new places in the war on the home and battle fronts. It is also the charge of Canadian universities to maintain the ideals which are in issue in this war. To describe these ideals would be to use what, to many of us. became shop- worn labels in recent years. Any indifference with respect to the positive values of those ideals has been translated by war into a confident faith in them. To combat paganistic principles exemplified by totali- tarian dictators, there were held last week in the Univer- sity a Mission. a Retreat, and meetings conducted by rep- resentatives of the Churches in Canada. Judging these meetings from a qualitative standpoint, we are convinced that they were helpful to our students in answering the question- What kind of faith for this kind of world Freedom of religion is among the freedoms which, under the Rule of Law, make up our democracy, and which is at bay today. It is our duty to defend our way of life and secure a peace in which it may flourish. Emphatically, I repudiate any suggestion that 113 wars are necessary for national development, and that 123 there must be periodic sacrifices on the altar of Mars, in order to toughen our men and chasten our women. That is a philosophy that has been preached in Germany, but it is foreign to democracies. The University of Manitoba, in common with individuals and institutions throughout the Empire, will bend every effort to Win the Victory that will ensure. to use our Chancellor's eloquent words, a world of peaceful co- operation in good works of free men and free nations, a world from which the devil-worship of Mars will be for- ever outlawed.
