- ff. Q. U Nlvl- PXSITY oi-I XVESTEIKN ONTARIO. 4 . .Yu Foreword HOUGH the withdrawal ofa graduating class is inevitable and even desirable yet a faculty always has a large measure of regret when the time for the with' drawal comes. During the years of the college course, friendships between students and instructors have been formed which distance will of necessity render less intimate. But there are two things that separation cannot abatevthe interest the Facf ulty will take in the careers of their former students as citizens of the nation and of the world, and the loyalty of these students to their Alma Mater. May it be possible to say of the Class of 1930 in the years to come that a char' acteristic of it was to 'lproduce alumni loyalty on the basis ofthe permanent. rather than the trivial values of education, the real rather than the false joys of existence.

AWN. U Miva PXSITY on-I wp STEPXN CNTAPXIO. Editorial HE most successful and progressive year that Western has ever experienced is drawing to a close. Tradition, we willingly agree. has a marked and potential valueg but let it be interfused with a spirit of advance, for only in such a corporation of ideas can progress be achieved. And this basic policy can be seen reflected in every phase of the past year at Western, marking it above the rest as the dawn ofa new era in the history of our University. Let us shun, at all costs, that super' optimistic attitude which savors of Mr. Micavvber or the Pollyanna prophecies. Rather let us realize our opportunities, the honor due to the members of the graduating year for the part they have played so ably and so bid them Godfspeed. Good Luck, Grads! Ti-in EDITORS 1, w.
