ls Pl To the Graduating Class in University College BY PROFESSOR lvlALCOLM W. WALLACE, BA., PH.D. O BODY of young men and women go out to take their places in the active world who are more conscious of the high hopes and good wishes of their fellows than are you. You know that you have the warm goodwill of friends, fellow-students and staff, and that the community expects you tO contribute to its health tO a greater degree than most Other men and women. However, the road that lies before those of you who are graduating now, it must be con- fessed, is not without its difficul- ties and dangers. The problems confronting the world today are very grim problems, and they must be solved in some substantial measure if men are to live satisfying and happy lives. The passive help- lessness of many of our leaders, their incapacity to confer and to decide on remedial action is very discouraging. Perhaps you may take comfort from the reflection that it is possible that we are witnessing the birth-throes of a great new age, and that it is your fortune to live in a period when new and mighty forces are establishing their control over human history. Your personal happiness will probably depend largely on your finding satisfying work and satisfying cornpanionships, and from both of these points of view your opportunities have been unusual. lyloreover, you have made friends among great books and great ideas, your possibilities of companionship extend to all the famous men ofthe ages. You know the story of their lives and of the problems with which they had to wrestle. Nothing renews our own courage and steadies our nerves like this. lt is a world into which we may retire at will from the dust and heat of our own problems, to emerge refreshed and with new energy and understanding. On behalf of my colleagues in University College, I extend to you our warmest good wishes that you may, among the inevitable sorrows of life, find a full measure of happiness, and that you may in your lives justify that faith in educated men and women to which universities owe their existence.

O7 1 la pf , to UNIVERSITY COLLEGE 3T2 PERMANENT EXECUTIVE R. O. STANDISH rPresident3, Miss M. M. DIXON fTreasurer9, Miss E. M. RUTHERFORD tVice-Presidentl, J. H. BROUGHTON fSe-cretaryj. Class History of 3T2 University College N THR fall of l928 a large, if not possibly the largest, freshmen class entered University College. Each member of that class cherished the hope that in the spring of l93Z, he or she, would graduate from the college, having become richer in friendship, learning and experience. Some of those who started with us have fallen under the heavy blow of the examination sword, but the majority have fought their way through the various entanglements and obstacles placed before them. VVe now stand upon the threshold of life, not knowing what the future has in store for us, but confident that the spirit and will exempli- lied in our college days will again bring us out victorious. In academic achievements the class of 3T2 holds an enviable position. Some of us have won scholarships or gained other forms of academic honour, while for the remainder the fact that we are in Class 3T2 is ample indication of our ability. The athletic ability of the Class is clearly shown by the fact that we have contributed players to many intercollegiate teams, such as rugby, golf, hockey, track, swimming, basketball and tennis. The members of the Class have also been very active as regards interfaculty sport and activities. Throughout the four years the Class has been prominent along literary and social lines, having been very active in the University College Literary and Athletic Society. The social functions of the year have consisted of Class parties, smokers and musicales, as well as attention being given by the members of the Class to the larger and more important college functions. ln closing the history of Class 3T2, one closes the happy experiences of four years of life which will long be remembered and which will be lived again many times in front of an open fireplace in company with an old friend.
