I hope that most of you par- ticipated in a Centennial event this year — I noticed that many students wore the com- memorative button. However, I’m sure that there are still some people that are wondering what the big fuss was all about. With your indulgence, I would like to pass along my personal obser- vations. The Centennial of Canada’s oldest engineering organization is more than the commemoration of an historic event. It is a way of mar king the contribution of many young men and women to the quality of student life at the University of Toronto. When we sing, “We are the engineers’’, we demonstrate an esprit de corps that is unique on this campus. No other student group can rally more of Its members to a cause than we can. We give more money to relief campaigns, more blood to the Red Cross, more en- couragement to Varsity sports teams, and more colour to everyday campus life than any other group. This giving of our- selves and our “joie de vivre’’ is fostered and encouraged by the Engineering Society. But the Society is not a group of gurus that oversee our actions; it is made up of all of us. The fact that we are a student group should be emphasized. The active members of the Society have had to make room for their activities amongst one of the most challenging academic programs at this institution. We are not per- fect, but we strive towards an even higher degree of Centennial Celebration!

In COMMEMORATIVE SALUTE TO THE SOCIETY ON ITS CENTENNIAL THIS PLAQUE HAS BIEN ERECTED BY THE Universits OF Toronto Engineering Alumni Association 1985 The Centennial Plaque will go here! professionalism through the even- ts that we stage and our dealings with others while doing so. Par- ticipation in Society activities has prepared more than one suc- cessful engineer in the past. On this page you can see effor- ts that demonstrate what I am trying to say. The projects range from a technically challenging tricycle that will attempt to break the world land speed record tor human-powered vehicles, to a very enjoyable birthday party. Each of these events takes much time and effort beyond the curriculum. But they are just a few of the undertakings of the Society in a given year. You can imagine the number of projects accomplished by our members in this past century. From our begin- nings as a group organized to disseminate technical information and foster research, to our present social inclination, the Society’s events have always catered to the needs of the students. Those responsible for preparing the events have lived up to our motto “scite et strenue” (skillfully and vigorously) in the past. It is up to us to continue this tradition. Jn closing, I would like to puWicly recognize the efforts of all those people who do the little things that go unnoticed. They have been, and always will be, the backbone of this organization. In their number I include the mem- bers of my committee. Their effor- ts always exceeded my expec- tations and the results always brought pride to me and all engineers. Thank you, it has been a very good year. Skillfully and vigorously, Gus Rinella Centennial Committee Chairman
