alehictnrp .XLIQI JICTC DRY-the very word spells regret and awakens a feeling akin to sadness. Another College year-wfor ZT5 the last-has fied even more rapidly than its predecessors, and now we look back and reflect on the manifold happenings and impressions of our four years' sojourn among the storied towers of tlld Toronto. XYe have witnessed many notable changes in the appearance of the Campus. The new XYoinen's Union has had time to justify its existence. The Medical Faculty and the School of Science have been enlarged. llaldwin House has become the spacious home of the History and Political liconomy departments. The splendid new Trinity College is nearing completion. Simcoe llall forms the dignified headquarters of the University :Xdministration, thus allowing the Main Icluilding to become once more University College. Most beautiful of all, and most iinportant perhaps, is the lylemorial Tower which served as an eminently fitting foreground for the University's Armistice llay ceremony. The greatest event which has taken place during these years is the discovery of insulin bv Ur. lianting and Ur. Nlcl,eod. XYe feel that too nmch stress cannot be laid on this achievement, both for the inestimable service it has rendered humanity and the enduring honour it has brought to our University. During our undergraduate days, too, many new phases of College activity have been born. The Cf. Players' Guild is now three years old, the U. of T. tlerman Club two. The experiment of a daily I'tH'SI-Il-X' has proved successful. The first series of the XYomen's Intercollegiate Debates promises to be the precursor of many more. Constant intercourse with natures often very different from our own has perceptibly enlarged our whole outlook. We have come into close contact with many persons, grave and gay, idle and studious, frank and reserved, visionary and practical. XYhile to many of our College acquaintances we must say good-bye. with many more we have formed indissoluble ties of fellowship which will con- tinue to enrich and beautify our lives. At the various lectures and social functions it has been our privilege to attend we have met some of the most prominent men, both of our own continent and from the Uld XVorld, and we realize how invaluable has been their infiuence in directing our thoughts towards matters of universal interest, whether they be politics, religion, literature, art or music. XYe would not neglect the lecture hall and classroom, for it is there that we have received our real training and inspiration. XVe have learned not to assimilate blindly but to study and discover for ourselves the great truths-we have larned how to larn . XfYe indeed acknowledge with Tennyson that All experience is an arch wherethro' Gleams that untravell'd world, whose margin fades For ever and for ever when I move. llc would pay tribute, too. to the members of the Faculty, who, by their in- struction, advice and sympathetic help, have made many rough places smooth for us and have stimulated us to a fuller appreciation of our opportunities in this realm of the mind. .Xnd now we must say farewell. As we go out to fulfil our destinies in a larger sphere, in whatever directions our paths of life may lead us, may we ever be strong in will, To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield. IH!
