STRUDLEY OFFICERS OF BOARD MR H T LITTLE ------ - Chairman LT COL GORDON INGRHM - - Vice-Chairman COL W l BROWN - - - Secretary 70 7fse Qaadualinq 6244 of 1943 .- While the war is not yet won we are all confident that the United Nations will defeat the Hxis Powers and will be able to restore peace and co-operation among the world's peoples. Thinking men realize that there is much work to be done not only while the war continues but afterwards. History does not record a worse condition politically, economically and socially than that in which many countries already find themselves. If the war should be prolonged the situation is certain to become still more difficult to put right. Hence the need for men and women of exceptional training and ability to help in the work of reconstruction. Confucius had the right point of view when he said: The way of a superior man is three-fold: virtuous, he is free from anxieties, wise, he is free from perplexitiesg bold, he is free from fear. We are told that after the close of hostilities a new and better world will emerge. Perhaps this belief is well founded. It all depends on the individual man and woman who will create and give effect to the plans neces- sary to bring about a better social order. Q better world means newer and better leaders, higher and broader ideals and firmer and more determined convictions concerning man's responsibilities to his fellows. Our ablest leaders are agreed that reforms are more important in social and spiritual affairs than in economic and material relationships. WHLTER IHMES BROWN, Executive Secretary.

GORDON INGRHM 7a 7ffe Qaaclualing 01014 af 1943: Let no one say that you are unfortunate in that you graduate from the university in such times as these. A man should always welcome adventure, particularly when it comes as the call of duty, and the call of duty is sound- ing clearly in our ears to-day. Your present obligation is to serve your country wherever you may be needed and to the limit of your capacity. However humble your post in this time of conflict, you can exalt it into honour by giving the best that you have. We look for a day when, victory having been achieved, men and women everywhere may unite in building a new and better world, one in which sanity will prevail and in which there will be peace and security. Because of the vital service you will have rendered in the time of war, you will have the right to demand a voice in the creation of the new international society. To that end you should give intelligent thought to the great questions that concern the future, remembering that leadership properly belongs to those who have disciplined minds. Be free from prej- udice, listen to the opinion of others but make your own decisions after careful thought. Work for the highest good of mankind and a full share of the things that most make life rich and happy will be your return. A. T. LITTLE, Chairman, Board of Governors.
