A Message From The Permanent Executive DMITTO TE IN GRADUMH. With the benevolent intonation of these Words the Chancellor will ring down the curtain on our career as undergraduates. These have been active and exciting years for us and for the whole University. The huge enrolment and the infusion of large numbers of veterans have given rise to a period of unprecedented vigor at all levels: in the many crowded lectures, debating, Lit. and W.U.A.' meetings, Hart House at noon, Whitney Hall Formals, the Follies, the Arts Ball, and all the many facets of a great University. This year the Arts Ball and the Reed Trophy have returned to the College, an operetta has been performed, amalgamation has loomed and faded, and yet another student from University College has won a Rhodes Scholarship. We have done much. Yet out of the confusing welter of activities there emerges, along with the many nostalgic memories, the quieter realization of the ideas and ideals we have encountered and evolved as undergraduates. These are the most significant gifts of the Uni- versity-these we hope to retain. We must strive to apply them in our lives as our real tribute to the University and as a recognition of our indebtednessykf- R. A. F.

University College W. R. TAYLOR w M.A., Ph.D., D.D., F.R.S.C. T has fallen to my lot to express to you on behalf of myself and the members of the College our congratulations on the completion of your courses of study which have covered the greater number of the post-war years. As we salute you in farewell we join with our saluta- tion the hope that you will come back to us often in memory or spirit, if circumstances do not permit you to return in person. Graduation involves for each of you matters that to a large degree affect your personal happiness and success during the rest of the years of your life. In the University the factors which governed your progress from year to year were in a large measure of your own making or within your direct control. But now the factors that determine the course of your careers will often seem to be unaccountably stubborn, sometimes elusive, and rarely subject to your direct control. In other words, there comes into play in your life a large element of what people rightly or wrongly call luck-good luck or bad luck. But in the final analysis if we are rigorously honest, we shall admit that nine times out of ten our sofcalled luck lies not in our stars but in ourselves. Some strength of character, some virtue of high purpose, some quality of goodness accounts for our good luck, while timidity, vanity, indolence and want of adaptaf bility or all of them co-mingled in various proportions account for our frustrations in life. If you read the literature of biography you note that most persons who have worth for us were not favored by good luck at the start or for that matter at any time in their careers, but they took pains early to extract success out of bad circumstances. They never surrendered the struggle to the mortiflcations, the disappointments, the irksome tasks of life nor to its graver and grander sorrows. They remembered and sincerely believed in the wisdom of the old proverb Never chew your pills . When we leave College rnost of us go out into the world with high resolves. We believe that the world is waiting for us, and so it is. But in the course of the years we must beware lest we part from these resolves, lest we bury them one by one until there is nothing left of the form of the person we meant to be. The saddest lines of English poetry are those of William Watson, written in retrospect: T So on our souls the visions rise A Of that fair life we never led: They flash a splendor past our eyes, We start, and they are fled, They pass and leave us with blank gaze Resigned to our ignoble days. My wish for you at this time is that you may never, never part from that ideal of yourself that beckons you out into the world beyond these College walls.qYg- 10
