A Message from the Prestident
President Tory
while you are glad to have reached the graduation stage and have
become ready to begin in a more definite way to bear a share of life’s
responsibilities, you will have a loneliness of spirit and a regret at leaving
which when mellowed by time will become one of your most precious
memories. May I express the hope that when that time is reached
and you recall what we have tried to do for you here both by precept
and example, you will come to believe that no motive other than a
desire that you should receive the maximum benefit during your stay
with us has been in our minds.
There are strenuous days ahead of us in Canada. The strife of
classes will not be over until what we now profess in theory as to the
equality of opportunity and the need of social justice is a reality. The
material craze which expresses everything in commercial values is
affecting every class of society. It is to the intellectual and sriritual
vision of the few to whom cash values make small appeal that we
must look to help us reach a stage of social equilibrium. At no time
in the history of the world has it been so necessary to have pure-minded,
clean-hearted and accurate thinking men and women at work on the
world’s problems. It is not necessary for me to say to you that you
will always find a clear conscience and a noble purpose infinitely more.
satisfying than material wealth. Nevertheless, let me urge you, in
tackling the problems of your own lives and those of the communities
where your lot may be cast, not to let your vision of the things that
are worth while be obseured by the selfish materialism that you may
see in the lives of men and women around you. I am sure I can wish
you nothing better than that you will always be found on the side of
those who are seeking the common betterment of their fellow men.
We will follow with pleasure and personal pride your careers in the future.
Jels Wil, ANoiays.
President.

LAURENCE V. MILLER
“TT, V.” was born in Toronto and attended public and High Schools
there, coming to Edmonton a few years ago, where he finished his
High School training at Victoria High, and in the fall of 1912 started in
at the University, on a five year Applied Science course. The war
somewhat delayed his graduation as he was a lieutenant in the 196th
Universities Battalion, earning two gold stripes. He is justly popular
with students and staff, which is doubly to his credit in that he is
chairman of this year’s House Committee. His chosen profession is
Highway Engineering and all who know him feel assured of his success.
KATHLEEN FERGUSON
K. Ferguson, alias Kas, came from Calgary to Varsity in 1916,
and went in for studying on a large scale. So much so that she was
obliged to stay at home and recuperate the next year and has never
felt the same towards work since. In spite of such a disability she has
managed to complete her Varsity course with a very creditable record
and besides has enjoyed a great deal of popularity and many good times.
As a fitting climax to her Varsity career her future years will be spent
in France attending the Université de Paris.
SAMUEL A. FRANCIS
A hardy son of Newfoundland with ability, whose boyhood days were
filled with the experiences of those who “go down to the sea in ships.”
He began anew his varied career as high school principal in his home
town, then a student in honor mathematics and physics at Toronto,
next a graduate of the Camrose Normal School and again a student
at the U. of A. Since he returned from overseas, and while completing
his Arts course he has assisted in the Physics department, and taught
Mathematics in Alberta College. Sam has made many friends while
here, so every success to him in his graduate work.

WILLIAM L. JACOBSON
Is a native of North Dakota but came to Alberta at an early age.
Pioneered at Stettler and in 1915 commenced on his degree course at
the O. S. A. at Olds. Entered Varsity in ’17 and has proven to be a
student of merit and a conscientious worker. “Jake” is a good sports-
man, keenly interested in hockey; played on the senior squad in 1918-
19 and has played on hockey teams throughout his energetic college
career. His goodfellowship has won him many friends who look
forward to Jake distinguishing himself in his chosen work, soils and
irrigation, in which he intends to specialize.

G. F. HARLAND BUCKLEY
A true Bluenose and prone to wander, born in the City of Halifax,
After completing the High School course he chose Agriculture as a field
of further study. He began at the Nova Scotia Agricultural College,
Truro, and later studied at Macdonald College, McGill, but while
there the call of the prairies proved so strong that he came to Alberta
to complete his course. “Buck” has made many warm friends along the
way as well as filling a number of student offices with ability. While
here he was president of the Mandolin Club, also secretary-treasurer
of the Agricultural Club. A sincere student with a creditable under-
graduate record, he will go far in his chosen profession.
AILEEN DUNHAM

Aileen, Vice-President of her class is a native of Missouri, but
to Canada in 1909. During her attendance at the Lethbridge High
School she distinguished herself by helping to win the Provincial Debat-
ing Cup in 1915, and also by obtaining the highest standing in the pro-
vince in Matriculation Examinations of that year. Her university
course has been a series of similar successes. She would have graduated
last year with honors in history had her course not been interrupted by
the epidemic. But what was her disappointment is our gain, and we
wish for her every success in the Post Graduate work, upon which she
hopes to enter.
EDGAR DONALD LOUGHEED
A native of the Great West, his value as a citizen was known early,
and Calgary claims his birth, in 1893. Being sturdy, and acquiring
experience as he went along, he managed to survive the climate, public
and High School, and Western Canada College, so that in 1911, McGill
was able to receive him with open arms. There followed two profitable
years (for ‘“Eddie’’?) and another at Calgary College. To broaden
his mind, and to take a course in “moderns,’’ he went overseas in 1915.
There he learned strange things, and returned to Canada in the Summer
of 1919, having acquired honor, rank and years. In order that the
U. of A. may recuperate, he has decided not to take his master’s degree,
but to go on in the profession of law. The law gains.

SYLVAN O. HILLERUD
Born at Hilsboro, N.D., came to Canada in 1904 and pioneered
near Claresholm. Before entering the U. of A. he attended the Clares-
holm High School and spent a short time at the University of Minnesota
and the C. 8. A. Before returning from overseas he assisted in the
Khaki University at Seaford, England, for a short period. While
here Sylvan has taken an active interest in sports and Y.M.C.A. work.
We understand he intends to return to his large farm to put into
practice the finer points of his profession.

“Nor’west’’ Bob is a true Westerner.
Having received his preparatory education in Moose Jaw Collegiate
and Calgary Normal, he entered Varsity in 1915, as a Fresh Sophomore.
He has taken a keen interest in student activities and was Treasurer
of the Students’ Union of 1916-17.
Early in ’17 he joined the 78th Battery and helped to give a knock-

MILDRED HULL
New Westminster, B.C. is Mildred’s birthplace, but since 1903
Edmonton has been her home. She entered University in her sopho-
more year, having taken her preparatory work at Victoria High School.
She has taken a keen interest in all Varsity activities, having played
on the senior basketball team for two years, been a member of the
Y.W.C.A. cabinet and taken part in the operas.
In her senior year she was unanimously elected to the position of
President of the Wauneita Society. In this office she has fulfilled her
duties with a capability and serene dignity which has been envied by
many. Success has attended her past. Here’s to your future, Mildred!
ROBERT P. MILLER
Robert P. Miller is a native of Indiana but at an early age decided
to make Alberta his home, so moved to Red Deer. After getting his
share of the educational attainments offered by that metropolis he
entered the University in the fall of ’13. On the outbreak of war he
offered his services a number of times before being finally accepted.
As he, like most other soldiers, objects to his exploits in France being
mentioned we shall say nothing further about them.
He returned and resumed his studies, making Geology his major
subject. He hopes to take post graduate work and great things are
expected of him.
EDITH CATHERINE McKINNON
Edith has the distinction of being the first graduate of the Univer-
sity of Alberta in Household Economics. Her course has been fraught
with difficulties. In her first year she had to take her work with the
Agricultural students, and was commonly pointed out as “the girl
who took Agriculture.” Last year she was left in doubt as to whether
she was a Soph. or a Junior, and the lack of equipment hampered
her much. But that she has risen superior to all drawbacks, none
will deny who have been guests at her dainty feeds in her ever tidy room.

ERNEST H. ANDERSON
Ernest was born at Norrkoping, Sweden, in 1895, completed his
public school work there, and came to Canada in 1907 to seek fame and
fortune close to nature. Pioneering was his first hobby, but later he
completed his matriculation, entering Varsity in 1915.
Since then Andy has busied himself with University activities and
one term at Camrose Normal, filling in spare moments as a country
pedagogue. At present unsettled as to his future vocation, he is still
“the wild man of the North,” seeking more wilds to conquer. We
believe his future lies in fields of action and adventure.
HELEN HOTSON
Not many in our wide Canadian west can boast of having had all
their schooling, from primary class to university graduation, in one
town. Helen Hotson, however, can claim this honor if we except her
Normal course at Camrose. She is one of the few Wauneitas to prove
the ability of her sex in mathematics and science by taking a B. Se.
degree from U. of A. She has an excellent standing in her work, winning,
in her first year, the University Club’s prize for general proficiency.
We are confident she will do well and worthily represent her Alma
Mater in her chosen field of service.
WALKER DUNHAM
Product of the “Show me” state, “Red” early displayed his astute-
ness by migrating north to Sunny Southern Alberta. To inagurate
his university career with a certain eclat he romped home as winner
of scholarships both to Queen’s and Alberta in his matriculating
year, and has never since lost his stride. Coming from the Windy
City he early developed into a forceful speaker and is this year President
of the Debating Club and our representative in the Inter-University
debate with B.C. He has been intimately connected with the Agri-
cultural Club and active in reconstructive problems. His intellect,
ability and sincerity assure him a place at the top in whatever pro-
fession he may follow.

BESSIE FRASER
Born in Edmonton, where she matriculated from the Victoria
High School, Betty Fraser speaks well for Edmonton-made products.
A list of her interests in the University would look like a directory of
student activities, for there is scarcely a society which has not received
her willing support or an executive committee which has not benefited
by her sympathy and quiet common-sense. Her splendid manage-
ment of the recent Conversazione won the admiration of all who were
connected with it. Betty carries with her the best wishes of all her
fellow-students.
MURIEL C. TREGILLUS
Muriel came to Calgary at the age of nine and attended High School
at Calgary and later the Ladies College at Reading, England.
She then enrolled at Calgary University, and is now crowning her
career by graduating from good old U. of A.
Class ’20 is proud to be able to include a woman among those of
its members who had the honor of serving overseas, for, during the war,
“Treg” put in two and one-half years hard work at a munition factory
in Woolwich. Apparently the theory that environment influences
character is thus entirely false, for her many friends are agreed that
they have never met anyone with a disposition less “explosive” or
“bomb’’astic!
ROBERT A. McNAUGHT
Robert was born on the 14th of February, 1900, in Gilbert Plains,
Manitoba. There he received his public school education. Then
the family moved to Edmonton, where Robert resumed his education
at Victoria High School. In 1917 he completed his High School
education and entered the University. In 1920 he graduates with the
idea that education does not end on graduation but is only the key to
further studies and learning. Like a true Westerner of a new country
R. A. promises to be a zealous and faithful worker for the welfare of
humanity in the coming days.
GWYNNYEFRED A. CRAIG
Just to know her leads you to suspect sunny Alberta as her birth-
place. Her a, b, e’s and Smith’s Algebra she conquered at the Olds
Public and High School.
In 1916, she entered the University as an Arts student.
Gwynny has danced her way light-heartedly through house com-
mittee uproars, students union amendments and _ elections, inter-
varsity contests, in sport—everything that constitutes a college. Now
that she has her degree, she hasn’t informed us what she holds for the
future but we are not without our suspicions.

Guthrie began life in the land of Evangeline where he won dis-
tinction as a scholarship student from King’s County Academy to
Acadia University. In 1910 he came to Alberta and graduated into
the teaching profession from Calgary Normal. His interest in Agri-
culture led him to choose Field Husbandry as his special study, which
course he entered upon in 1916.
Since then his industry and perseverance have won recognition—
having assisted in special investigation work in connection with the
experimental farm, and having given valuable services. as secretary
and president of she Agricultural Club.

CHARLES BECKER
Cy was first discovered in Medicine Hat. Being brought up in
the famous ‘‘Gas”’ town he naturally had an inclination towards Law.
Not having learned of the U. of A. he sought for truth, two years,
in Toronto. On hearing of ‘“‘Quaecumque Vera’’ he came to Alberta.
The fates then called him to higher realms and for three years he sailed
the dizzy heights from ‘Merry England to Sunny Italy.” He returned
to his terrestrial pursuits last October and seeks his green and white
sheepskin this spring. Cy believes in mixing sport with education.
He is known among athletes as a puck-chaser, a basketball tosser and
the genial President of the Boxing Club.
“May fortune be his guiding star,
When he is called up to the Bar.”
GILES H. CLARK
Born in Leeds County, Ontario, Harry is one of the Wise Men

work for a time and entered Varsity in 1914. November, 1915, saw
him a member of the 5th Universities Coy. P.P.C.L.I. He went through
the Somme only to be wounded on the Vimy front in November, 716.
Invalided home in 1917 he has since been President of the Literary
Department and President of the Rifle Club.
We wish Harry success in the field of Political Economy in which
he intends to specialize.

Waledictory Address
All too soon the fateful hour has arrived. On the thirteenth of May,
we are thankful it is not Friday the thirteenth, we hope to receive the
precious little tin pipe with the more precious parchment. nestling
snugly within, the parchment that will remove us forever from that
happy class of the genus homo called undergraduate. And now as the
class of 1920 we are bidding our formal farewell to the younger classes,
to the professors and all the happy associations that go to make up
undergraduate life in such a university as our own. For some of the
class, happily, it is but au revoir we are saying. These expect to come
back later to continue their studies. Others while not considering
post-graduate work here will continue in close touch with the university.
Yet others of the class may be carried far afield and for many years
may not have the opportunity of looking within the halls of Alberta
or attending the infrequent gatherings of convocation. But within
us all burns such an affection for our Alma Mater that wherever we may
find ourselves in years to come our interest in the welfare and progress
of Alberta will ever bind us close to these halls in spirit if not in body.
We are much the same as countless other graduating classes that
have said the same reluctant farewells under similiar conditions. We
differ little from the half dozen or more classes that have graduated
here except in numbers. There is one distinguishing feature, however,
that I should like to mention. It is a result of the war and has been
marked in class nineteen and will be seen in the classesof the next
two or three years. In the ordinary course of events the personnel
of the graduating class is drawn from that of the freshmen class of the
four years before: But our class is not made up from the freshman
class of 1916 alone. The women are drawn largely from that source, but
such has been the effect of the war that our men are members of
‘the various classes 1912 to 1916. Some of them have given up as
much as four years to service in the army. The result is that our class
is not as homogeneous as it might have been; we are not so well ac-
quainted with each other but we have made great strides in the right
direction this last year, and I dare say that before all the graduation
ceremonies are concluded we shall have made up for all lost time.
This is a fitting time to pay our tribute to those whose war services
have kept them from graduating with this class, and to honor most
especially those of the class who laid down their lives in the war. They
are above any further need of what this university has to offer. They
have done more in a moment for the good of humanity than we can do
in a lifetime with our little graduations and petty strivings. I think
that we as a class must feel that they are with us in spirit at this time
and from the higher vantage ground of the next world will be looking
on with as keen an interest as though they were present at this our
farewell ceremony.
24 BUSTEen (GrVAC EW aAra Ye
and our professors have not been hesitant to remind us that we are
also incapable of original thought. This is more to be regretted and as
the years go by we hope to see our Alma Mater take her place with the
other great homes of investigation and originality.
With the college side of our University, however, we have no fault
to find. Its aim is to present the great thoughts and actions of the
past and present to the students in such a manner that they will not only
accumulate a large amount of information and book knowledge but
so that they may have their views on life and their minds broadened
and strengthened. Graduates are not to be just so many walking
encyclopedias; they are to be broad-minded thinking men. The
university, as it were, lays the solid foundation of fact, shows us how
to use the tools and collect the materials and then says ‘go ahead,
build your own structure.’ We have here a very efficient staff, a great
variety of courses and ample opportunity for study, such as would
compare favorably with any Canadian university. The results in the
final analysis rest with the individual student. We can only hope
to draw out from our university course in proportion as we put into it
ourselves and our energy.
The other function of a university is to produce leaders and equip
them with all the essentials of good citizenship. In a state-maintained
university such as our own this becomes almost an obligation for if
men and women of good character and strong physique as well as of
active mind are not forthcoming from the university the state is wasting
its money. The place that Alberta’s graduates take in the future will
be the conclusive test of her success in this respect—but what are the
influences which make for this development?
Our studies have been the last consideration often during the past
term so let us make amends by putting them first now. Apart from
their technical value, these, and especially the litterae humaniores
exert a powerful influence on the opinion and ideals of the students
and especially the real student who is looking for the fundamental
lessons that lie beneath the surface.
However, the classroom has had its share of attention. There is
another side to university life that is just as important and this is the
life of the campus, with all its activities and associations. Our com-
munity life, for we are a fair-sized almost autonomous community, will
compare favorably with that of any university that I know. Not
only have we been able to utilize the results of the experiences of other
institutions; we have added something to these. in a few distinctive
features of our own. Our residence system is the envy of many less
fortunate universities who find their halls scattered over large areas.
Our system of student government is unique in university history
and is largely due to the generosity and foresight of the president, Dr.
Tory. We have been given full powers of self discipline outside of
the classrooms. The result is that not only do Albertans have full
realization of responsibility that comes from holding various offices
26 Bein Gr Ay aD ET Wie Ye
under the Students’ Union but they are trained in procedure, their
executive instincts are developed and they are not afraid to take the
proper share of community life as they have been used to it here. As
the university grows there will no doubt have to be a change in this
organization. The Students’ Union will likely have to be modelled
along parliamentary lines after our provincial government. This
will give an efficient representative system and will prepare the members
for future citizenship by familiarizing them with our system of govern-
ment.
All our organizations, athletic and literary, all our campus associa-
tions are the source of that intangible something called the college spirit,
which along with scholarship, is the rock to which any university must
anchor its reputation. Tor a university is not so much an agglomeration
of fine buildings and equipment—they have these in Ponokan institutes
—as it isan atmosphere. It is not an inorganic pile of stones but a living
thing and its breath is the spirit of the five hundred or thousand individ-
uals within. We have every opportunity and we should build up a
spirit that will distinguish Albertans even amongst other university
men. We should cultivate that most valuable type of friendship and
loyalty that is known only to university men and makes them kin the
whole world over. If we can do this the future of our university is
assured. At present there is only one small obstacle in the way and this is
because there is no common ground on which the students and professors
can get together outside of the classrooms. The students among them-
selves have this, but there is little opportunity to form such helpful and
lasting friendships as could exist between teacher and pupil. Both
parties are the losers and must feel the need.
We have possibly missed many of the good points as well as many of
the others in this hasty survey of our University and its associations,
but we have said enough to show that our only feelings for our Alma
Mater at this time are of gratitude for what she has meant to us and of
hope for what she is going to mean in the future of your classes and the
many that will come after. As the senior class this last year we have
felt more keenly than ever our responsibilities to our university. We
have guarded her few but honorable traditions to the best of our ability.
We have perhaps even added something to the foundations laid by
former classes, but our course is now run.
Farewell, and the best of luck! is all that is left to be said. All that
remains to be done is to pass on to your keeping the torch of Alberta’s
destiny, with the hope that in your hands we shall see it rise higher
and get higher in the search for “whatsoever things are true.”

Editorial
The year 1919-1920 has witnessed the dawn of a new era in the
history of the University. With the registration more than double that
of any previous year, and reaching into four figures, we feel that the
tide has turned and we are now starting out on a voyage of great possi-
bilities, inspired with great hopes for the future of the U. of A.
ith the signing of the Peace Treaty and the demobilzation of our
Canadian forces we have had the great pleasure of welcoming home a
large number of our former students and staff as well as many additions
to both these sections of our University life. There are many who are
not with us and who will never return. They “loved, and were loved,
and now they lie ‘In Flanders fields’.” We only trust we may build
a structure worthy of the foundations laid down by these great champ-
ions.
Needless to say our returned veterans have been very much in evid-
ence in all phases of our activities, and their influence is a most im-
portant, if not a dominating factor of our various societies. Farly

ficance of this gathering and its influence on our student body as well
as the personal inspirations which so many have received either at the
conference or since the delegates returned.
As the curtain falls on this closing act we wish briefly to review
what has gone before. Many times we have regretted undertaking
the responsibility of this work, and more than once we have been inclined
to hand over the reins to some more experienced hands. We have
realized wherein we have failed but we very much appreciate the
splendid co-operation which we have enjoyed at least from most sections
of our readers. We shall not soon forget the contributions of the
Crystal Gazer and his Musings of a Soup Wagon, and much regret
that owing to sickness he was compelled to sever his connections with
us before the end of the term. We trust that next year, with the
advent of a tri-weekly and literary supplement, other writers of the
calibre of ‘Fergie’ will come forward and help make this new venture
a splendid success.
As we become once more a mere student and sink into oblivion
in the great turmoil of college life we feel the experience has been very
profitable, and the burden considerably lessened by a very efficient
and faithful staff who have been ever ready to assist in every possible
way.
As a staff we wish to acknowledge the kind words of appreciation
which we have received from various members of the faculty and the
student body. To those whose patience has been so sorely tried and
who have displayed such long suffering of our weekly infliction, we
tender our deepest sympathy and share with them the sigh of relief
that this is our last outrage. We trust that next year will see a
renaissance in Gateway history, and our best wishes go with the new
‘editor and his staff.

and business staffs were appointed and went to work. The business
men of the city gave generous support to the new enterprise—they too
had an eye to the future—and November, 1910, saw yet another college
journal brought to birth.
A scanning of the issues of that first year brings to the mind of
the writer, who was first editor-in-chief, memories numerous and varied,
some of sadness; some of pride. Of the staff, two, C. W. Ritson, first
business manager, and Perey Young, Editor of the Y.M.C.A. section,
are buried on the field of honor, and Horace Miller, whose clever cartoons
were the joy of the students of those days, died several years ago. Other
members of the staff are scattered far and wide, playing varied parts,
but all doing faithful work in their respective fields. Three others
in addition to the two already mentioned served overseas, and two
were casualties, H. G. Nolan, Rhodes Scholar, being wounded, and
L. Y. Cairns, gassed. The writer was privileged to serve with the Khaki
University of Canada, and Miss Agnes Wilson went overseas as a
V.A.D.
Many difficulties surrounded the work of that pioneer year. Scarcely
had work been commenced when a terrible epidemic of typhoid broke
out. Of the students, ten contracted the disease and one died. Two
of the Gateway Staff, Mr. Ritson, business manager, and A. L. Cald-
well, the popular Clarence of later years, and then Sports Editor, had
severe attacks, and were unable to carry on. But in spite of drawbacks,
six issues were published. Perhaps one who was actively concerned
in their production may be pardoned for expressing the opinion that
the quality of material in those first issues has not been excelled since.
The balance between fun and more serious material was well maintained.
The “Letters to Dad,” cartoons, and racy write-ups of athletic events,
together with local hits, provided the lighter elements, while the dis-
cussions of current events and literary contributions provided ballast.
Of the editorial efforts modesty for bids the writer to offer any comment.
One might be pardoned for suggesting that the change from a monthly
to a weekly has not been an unmixed blessing. As a news sheet a
weekly is almost useless, while the rush of weekly publication by a
volunteer staff makes the maintenance of high literary standards very
difficult. The satisfactory alternative seems to be either a monthly
or a daily.
The session of 1911-12 saw a vigorous development. The student
body was largely increased, and financial support from all sources
was much more generous. The Alberta College magazine, “Signa
Alberta,”’ ceased publication, and more staff talent was made available.
The editor-in-chief of the previous year was now president of the
Students’ Union, and W. Davidson, with an able staff, became editor,
with G. D. Misener as business manager. This year saw the Gateway
achieve a financial success. Seven issues including the first special
graduating number were produced at a total cost of more than twelve
THE GATEWAY 39
hundred dollars, all of which was met from current revenue. The year
was not without its problems. The editor-in-chief contracted typhoid,
and three issues had as a consequence to’ be produced with the old
chief in charge. With the conclusion of this second year, the early
history of the Gateway may be said to conclude. Its record since
then is known to all, and no event of the week is more interesting
than the appearance of the student paper, which is as it should be.
The pioneer editor views this progress with intense gratification, and
wishes the suggested venture of a tri-weekly newspaper every success,
and predicts for it a useful and popular career.

Another third year in Medicine has come and gone. It was by
one hundred per cent. the largest that has passed through this Institu-
tion. Its superiority however was not confined entirely to numbers,
for judging from the spirit of the class, their splendid attitude towards
all of the interests of university life, including their work, they compare
favorably with those gone before.
The year has been a pleasant one indeed, uninterrupted as it has
been by an epidemic such as we had last year, with the enlargement
of our teaching staff, the growing facilities for laboratory work and the
fine social life which has characterised our whole faculty. These to-
gether have rendered the year not only pleasant but extremely profit-
able.
Thus, this year has not only measured up to the standards set by
the preceding years but it has in many respects surpassed them. This
was due largely to the fact that early in the term we organized and
under the leadership of our able president Mr. Harry Pearse with his
loyal executive, we achieved results which to the most sanguine would
have seemed increditable.
The year regards with special favor the appointment of Dr. Rankin
as Dean of Medicine. The splendid work already accomplished by
Dean Rankin in this capacity, vouches for the wisdom shown in his
appointment.
In saying good-bye we wish to express to our Alma Mater our very
deep affections and high esteem. We have formed associations which
we hope shall not readily be broken and which shall always remain
very precious to us.
Fresh—I read where a rich Calgary business man turned his son
out of doors lately because he wouldn’t pay his house rent.

Literary Department
The Literary Department has just completed one of its most success-
ful years. This department consists of the Glee Club, Orchestra,
Dramatic Society, Debating Society and the Mandolin Club, the latter
being newly formed this year.
The department was very sorry to have to accept the resignation of
its president Mr. Arthur Donaldson owing to his illness but were very
fortunate, however, in securing Mr. James Nicol as president in Mr.
Donaldson’s place.
It will not be necessary to say much concerning the various clubs
and societies under the Litery Department as the work of each of them
is reviewed elsewhere in this issue, but the Literary Executive would
like to express its appreciation for the great assistance which the
orchestra has given so willingly at each “Lit.”
The first general meeting was held on November 6, 1919. Dr.
H. M. Tory our president, whom we are so glad to have back with us
again after an absence of two years, gave us a very interesting address
on the “Kahki University.” The remainder of the program was
provided by the University Orchestra and the McDougall Church
Choir under the direction of Mr. Arthur K. Putland.
46 THE GATEWAY
The next meeting was held on November 21, which was “George
Eliot’s Centennial” night. Dr. Broadus gave an excellent address on
“The Art of George Eliot.”’ Some musical items were provided by
the Orchestra, Miss Avis Hibbard and Mr. Cedric Edwards and a
couple of readings from George Eliot’s works were given by Miss Ella
Wilson and Miss Margaret McMillan all of which were very much
appreciated.
The December meeting was held on the 12th, when the entire
program was given by the pupils and staff of Alberta College North
and South. Mrs. Ethel Reese Burns’ Junior Forbes-Robertson Amateur
Players presented the “Burglar” in very good style.
The first program in the New Year was given by the Orchestra
and Glee Club assisted by Mr. J. J. Walker. This was the first appear-
ance of the Glee Club under their new leader Mr. Barford and they
showed a marked improvement since last year.
The next Lit was given by the Dramatic Society on Feb. 5. They
presented three plays, ‘Barbara’s Wedding,” “The Artist’? and the
“Dear Departed.’’ Each one of these plays was admirably presented
but special mention might’ be made of the first one in which each did
his or her part very successfully.
February 27 was the Inter-High School Debate carried out under
the direction of the Department of Extension and which has not been
held since the beginning of the war. The subject for debate was
“The League of Nations” and the competing teams were Red Deer
and Crescent Heights, Calgary. Crescent Heights won although both
teams showed very good oratorical ability and gave one of the most
enjoyable nights of the year. During the time the judges were out
preparing their decision the Lit provided a short musical program.
Instead of the regular Lit night on March 12, the Medical Club
presented with very great success, “The Doctor” a farce in three acts
by Charles Townsend and a sketch “Clinical Surgery a la Mode,”
before a large and very appreciative audience. Great credit is due the
Meds for the way in which they carried out the whole performance.
On Wednesday, March 24, the Glee Club Concert was held. The
music was of a very high standard and was produced with very good
style and clear enunciation.
Owing to the great success of the opera “Trial by Jury” last year
the Literary Department decided to put on another this year. The
one chosen was the “ Nautical Knot,” by W. Rhys-Herbert.
The scene was laid on the quay at Barnstaple where all
the
sailor lads were hopelessly in love with J ulia, who scorned them
all.
A wandering artist Barnabas Lee came to town and fell in love with
Julia. Complications arise which are very amusing. However all the
tangles are straightened out in the end with promises of many happy
weddings in the near future.

Glee Club
The Glee Club commenced operations immediately the fall term
opened, and the first practice was held in the Athabasca Lounge on
October 22, with Mr. Vernon Barford as instructor. Succeeding
practices, seventeen in number were generally held in Convocation Hall
between the hours of eight o’clock and half past nine on Wednesday
evenings. It seems a great pity that the large numbers attending
early in the year could not continue to do so to the end. However,
it has been a very profitable year on the whole. A concert was
put on in conjunction with the orchestra on January 16; several numbers
were contributed to the program given at the Conversazione. The
final concert of the year was staged along with the orchestra on Wednes-
day evening, March 24, and was a huge success.
The Executive for the year consists of: Hon. Pres., Dr. Sheldon ;
Pres., Arthur K. Putland; Vice-Pres., Miss Tregillus; Sec., Edw. G.
Hollies; Librarian, Wilbur W. Bell; Committee, Miss M. Stevenson.

Dramatic Society
The Dramatic Society consists of students, faculty members, and
their friends who are interested in drama to the extent of viewing
a play as something more than ‘going to the show;” for them drama
is an art worthy the study of serious people. It is to gain and spread
a proper appreciation of the drama that the Dramatic Society exists.
The study during this session was of modern drama, and at the
monthly meetings typical plays were read, the whole series being
introduced by Mr. Stanley Smith in an address on “Some Aspects of
Modern Drama.” This method of becoming acquainted with plays
is very enjoyable, almost as much so as seeing them actually produced
on the stage. The public performances of the Society during the
closing season were of “Barbara’s Wedding”’ (Barrie), “The Artist”
(Malleson), “The Dear Departed” (Houghton), “The Rose with a
Thorn” (Graham), and “Joy” (Galsworthy). The first four of these

is, as it were, a freshman at this university and as it behooves
freshman to do, we have deferred greater activity till we are past the
infant stage.
Possibly you have seen a body of youths set out from Athabasca
Hall, each with a mandolin under his arm. They are on their way to
practise. These practises are under the direction of Mr. Elmer Luck.
Much of what the club has become is due to the untiring energies of
Mr. Luck. J. G. Sillak officiates at the piano. Although he is busy
with the orchestra he ean give us an hour or so of his time now and
again.
The first mandolinists are: W. 8. Budd, T. Tidball, W. Matthews,
H. B. Cannon. The seconds are: G. F, H. Buckley, J. Doughty,
J. MacDonald and E. W. Davis.
The club chose for its officers this term, G. F. H. Buckley as president
and E. W. Davis, secretary-treasurer.
The clubs’ program of performances this year has of necessity been
limited. The clubs’ “debut d’eclaire’ took place one evening in
March when it played two numbers for the soldiers at the con-
valescent home. Since then the club has played for the Kiwanis

At one of the early meetings of the Literary Executive Mr. Chadsey was
elected President, and after the various members of the Orchestra
had become acquainted they elected the following officers:

Miss Robb was appointed Conductor and under her baton many very
pleasing numbers were rendered. Recently Mr.. Edwards has taken
charge and under him things have progressed most satisfactorily.
The University has been particularly fortunate this year in that
there have been so many recruits to the Orchestra from the Freshman
class. They will continue with us and we can rest assured of having
the very best in music for the next few years at least.
Besides playing for occasional informal dances the Orchestra pro-
vided some very excellent music for the Literary programs and for
all other affairs where an orchestra would naturally be expected to
assist. Next year it is hoped that it will put on a special program
of its own. As an expression of the appreciation of this part of the
University it is suggested that a more substantial amount of money
be appropriated for its use next year. A new library is sorely needed.

Debating Club
Along with the revival of other student activities the year 1919-20
saw the formation of a debating society. Early in the year a meeting
was held. Mr. Walker Dunham being elected president for the session.
A scheme of activities was drawn up which took the form of a debate
and forum to be held on alternate weeks. The student body was
cordially invited to become members. We were assured that every
member would be allowed to take an active part, it being the society’s
object to promote public speaking and an interest in public affairs.
Thanks is due to the Department of Extension and the faculty for
supplying subject-matter and criticism. The subjects chosen were
knotty problems which gave great promise of hot discussion. This
was, perhaps, not realized as much as some expected. Small attendance
due to the hour set was largely responsible for this.
Negotiations were entered into with the University of British
Columbia for an inter-provincial debate. The culmination of
the society’s activities was the series of trial debates by which the
Alberta representatives were chosen, Messrs. Dunham and Scroggie
being the successful contestants.
The debate, which was on Parliamentary vs. Presidential Govern-
ment was held in Vancouver on March 20th. No greater tribute
can be paid to British Columbia than to say they triumphed over the
Alberta team. It is to be hoped that this debate is the seed from
which a Western League will spring. If Alberta it to occupy a promin-
ent place in that league her talent must be developed. This can only
be done by the students themselves who should for this reason if for
no other support the society in the coming years.

Athletics
In looking over the Athletic programme of the last year, the amount
of money granted us by the Students’ Union and seeing what we have
accomplished, the association can rest well satisfied with the terms
work.
Heretofore practically all athletic competitions were confined more
or less to contests with local teams. Last Christmas arrangements
were made for an Inter-University series in Hockey with Manitoba
and Saskatchewan. The result from the point of college spirit was
wonderful, nothing like it had ever occurred in any series before. Every
Varsity student was at these games and the Arena echoed the com-
plimentary yells. Manitoba—Alberta. Saskatchewan—A lberta.
The formation of the Western Canadian Universities Athletic Union
has been the biggest step yet attempted. The constitution was drawn
up in February at the Macdonald Hotel, representatives being present
from Saskatoon and Winnipeg, and next year all inter-university
athletics will be under the control of this body.
This year university teams played in the finals of six championship
series, The Track team scored by far the most points at the provincial
indoor meet and the second Hockey team won out in the city league,
also being declared Northern Alberta Intermediate Champions. The
other Varsity teams were all unfortunate in the final stages, after

brilliant exhibitions in the qualifying rounds. Good coaching has
shown itself in all phases of our sport, and a new scheme is being evolved
whereby it may be made possible to bring to this institution the services
of a professional coach. Such a system put McGill considerably on
the football map this last session.
The Inter-faculty Hockey League and also the House league has
had a most successful season. The Inter-faculty Hockey League closed
with Science, Law and Agriculture in the order named. In the Basket-
ball House League, Teskey and his men, Burgess, Muir, Sanderson and
Lefsrud won out in the finals against Jensen.
The Rifle Club has carried on all term and closed with John Sillak
and D. Simpkins highest in averages.
For the Track Club, the weather man did his worst last fall, and it
was impossible to hold a meet. However, they are at the time of writing
whipping into shape for the Inter-University Meet to be held in Saska-
toon next October.
On March 11th, the Athletic Banquet and Smoker was held and
from every standpoint was one of the most successful yet. Large
A’s were presented to members of the Senior Hockey and Football
squads. Small A’s to the second team. Championship A’s to Muir
and Tait, won at the Provincial Meet, and medals to Sillak and Simp-
kin.
This year has been the linking up of the pre-war brand of sport with
the future. From every standpoint we can say that this has been
accomplished and the next few years, we hope will put the U. of A. on
the Athletic map of Canada forever.
RUGBY
Our squad entered the league which had been revived after lying
dormant during the years of war.
The preliminary training was carried out under Mr. McRae but
later the team was handed over to Roy Stevens, and great things were
accomplished in rounding out a real strong team.
After a very successful career in the Provincial League we only
lost the championship to Calgary Canucks by a close margin after a
very hard-fought game. With most of the players returning next
year we are hoping to have a team of first rate calibre in the field. We
much regret our loss in the departure of our coach, as Roy was largely
responsible for our success. Keep your eye open for a good successor.
HOCKEY
This year has seen the regeneration of many branches of sport
but nowhere was this more apparent than in the realm of hockey.
Every effort has been made to put hockey back on its pre-war basis
and to make it the premier sport, and we believe this winter to be but
the beginning of a new era of better university hockey.
THE GATEWAY 59
The part which hockey plays in our athletic life is nowhere better
shown than in the keen interest taken this year in the inter-faculty
contests. Never before have so many students taken part and this
popular winter pastime is becoming more and more the absorbing
interest of all the students. The inter-faculty contests this year and
in the future will serve as a “bush” league for the development. of
stars of the first rank thus ensuring keen competition yearly for places
on the first team. In fostering and encouraging inter-faculty contests
in the future, we believe lies the hope of having a senior team capable of
producing a real Allan Cup brand of hockey.
BASKETBALL
The basketball team got away to an excellent start late in the
fall. A wealth of very promising basketball players turned out giving
Coach G. Roy Stevens excellent material from which to form his team.
The basketball club were very fortunate in being able to obtain such
an able experienced player to whip their team into shape. ‘To our
coach we give no end of credit for the successes which crowned the
efforts of our team during the playing season.
By Christmas the team was “rearing to go.” The Calgary All-
Stars, Edmonton All-Stars, Winnipeg All-Stars and the University
of Saskatchewan all attempted to humble our pride, but failed. Then
misfortune camped on our trail. Our coach was forced to leave us
in order to continue his profession in the East; a number of our players
received injuries which either put them out of the game for the rest
of the season or severely crippled their play. Not content with treating
us so harshly Dame Fortune continued to hide her face from us; in
all those little breaks of luck which make all sport so uncertain, the
University of Alberta basketball team came off second best. The
light of what we had been became dimmed by the shadow of what we
are.
With new lessons learned, the experience of another year added to
our knowledge and with the determination to win those laurels which
slipped from us, we are looking forward to next winter when once again
the leather sphere will drop through the iron hoop into the swishing
net with the regularity of old.
SOCCER
With the return of so many Old Country “kickers” an effort was
made last Fall to revive the interest, in Association Football. The
abundance of material led to two strong teams being formed representing
Freshmen and Upper Classmen. A schedule was drawn up to be played
off in competition for the Inter-collegiate League Cup and we had great
hopes of regaining the trophy from “A. ©.” However, with the early
advent of winter and a heavy fall of snow the league schedule had to be
abandoned with only one game played.
A challenge was also received from University of Saskatchewan
to play off for Inter-Varsity honors but the early snow also prevented

RIFLE CLUB
Last October the Rifle Club opened the 1919-20 season with a bang.
This sport has proved very popular with the amateur nimrods, and,
though not classed as‘a major one, nevertheless requires a steadiness
of nerve and keenness of eye, which only those in the best of physical
condition can boast of.
The association again elected as president W. S. Budd, who had
charge of the activities last year, and as secretary E. Gardiner.
About thirty-five members reported regularly for tri-weekly practices.
All was going well when suddenly word was received that due to the
reorganization of the faculty of science the range in the Science Building
would have to be vacated.
The officers looking for a range now became familiar figures in
many out of way places. But none could be found. Finally at the
instigation of Dr. Tory, permission was again granted to use the old one
and practices recommenced in February.
Arrangements were now made for the “shooting off” of the com-
petition and interest was at fever height. Three targets of seven
shots each constituted this competition. Mfr. Sillak received the gold
medal as first prize with a score of 95, defeating Mr. Simpkin of last

year’s fame, who came second with a score of 93, and received a silver
medal.
Other members of the club who made high scores were Messrs.
Broadus, Budd, Fetter, Fisher, Good, McMillan, Moodie, Moore,
Patterson, Sampson and Waite.
In closing it is only fair to state that if it had been possible to hold
continuous practices better scores might have been made.
Taking everything as a whole however the Rifle Club has had a
very successful year and an interest has been created which augurs
well for this sport in the future.
ROOTERS’ CLUB
An attempt was made this year to put the Rooters’ Club on a better
standing than in previous years, as the large registration seemed to
promise strong support for this club. With this in view the first
University Cheer Book was edited and published in time for one of the
large games. The sale of this book was not up to expectations, nor
were there many opportunities given for its use, for despite the large
number of games, the students turned out rather as spectators than
rooters, and missed many opportunities of taking seats in rooter sections.
Yet one could usually depend on twenty-five brass-lungers, trained at
the Khaki University or the Des Moines Conference, to give the
“Bolsheviki Yell,’ to “feed someone blue-grass,’ and in general to
encourage the teams. Most of these rooters will be back again, and
with this as a nucleus for “loyal” freshmen to gather about, we look
forward to the coming year.

HOCKEY
The University Women’s Hockey Team this year was better than
that of any previous year. There was more enthusiasm and con-
sequently a larger number than ever turned out to the practices. Great
credit is due to Ralph Cleland for his work as coach.
The great event of the year was the first women’s inter-varsity
hockey game. This was played against Saskatchewan Universily.
The support given was so encouraging that we hope to play a return
game next year; for although we lost 3-0, the girls are confident that
they will be able to reverse the score.
The next week games were played successfully with the South Side
girls and the Monarchs, the former provincial champions.
The team took a trip to Calgary, accompanied by Harry Morris
as coach. This was the hardest game of the season and ended in a
victory for Calgary.

Agricultural Club
It is with considerable satisfaction that we review the work of the
club during the past year. What we lacked in numbers was more than
made up by the enthusiasm of the executive and members. The year’s pro-
gram was creditable indeed, and a keen interest was taken in all meetings.
Early in the year a number of important amendments were made
to the constitution. The name was changed from Collegium Agri-
colarum to the Agricultural Club.
Plans to stimulate interest in agricultural education throughout
the province were outlined and are being gradually put into effect.
An appeal was made to the Schools of Agriculture to co-operate with
us in this work.
The year’s work started with a happily chosen and well delivered
address on “Adventures in Contentment,” by our Hon. Pres., Dr.
Broadus. The thought was left with us that this was a very pleasant
old world after all, if we but look for contentment, and we were shown
how and where to find this contentment.
Dean Howes entertained us one evening with an interesting account
of the life and work of Henry Drummond, interspersed with selections

CAriters’ Club
The Writers’ Club has come into being. Future years will appre-
ciate the weight of that statement.
On November 8, 1919, the Club saw the light of day, and recorded
its first minutes. Since that time, it has grown rapidly; its membership
now is 27.
The Club aims to help students to write and to publish. It is a
business-like group, with a will to break into print and not blush in
obscurity. It insists than an enthusiast before he may become a mem-
ber shall appear, at least once, in cold print. It plans to keep, its
members always closely in touch with active journalistic work.
During the term meetings have been held twice a month. Some
of the meetings have been devoted to the discussion and criticism of
manuscripts submitted by members. At other meetings, addresses
have been given by distinguished friends of journalism. Dean Howes
addressed the Club, speaking on the opportunities for men in agri-
cultural journalism, and the type of work that is needed in that field.
Mrs. Arthur Murphy (Janey Canuck) gave many valuable hints from
her own wide experience, for the benefit of those who look forward to
free lance work. Mr. Morrison, News Editor of the Edmonton ‘ Jour-
nal,” gave encouraging advice to men and women planning to take
up newspaper work or the writing of magazine stories. Towards the
end of the term the Club had the pleasure of hearing Professor Mac-
Gibbon and Mrs. Nellie McClung.
The members have been publishing frequently in the Edmonton
“ Journal,’ where they have kept a students’ page flourishing week by
week. They also have been scouring the mail routes of Eastern Canada
and the United States with manuscripts for publication. They have ~
made some kills, and have tasted blood. Next year there will be no
holding them.

BD. fl. C. A.
In speaking of the work of the Intercollegiate Y.M.C.A. the work
of the University and Alberta College Associations will necessarily
be covered and reviewed. Activities have been carried on similar to
those of previous years. ’ The study of the Bible was emphasized
especially, because it is mainly through an earnest study of the life
and teaching of Jesus that any real passion for Christian service can
be inspired. At least fifteen study groups were formed and much benefit
received.
The Sunday services have been held regularly throughout the
session with an average attendance of one hundred and ninety-two.
The student body has over one thousand members. It is therefore
self-evident that only a small percentage of the students take advantage
of these splendid services. The Y.M.C.A. would welcome suggestions
as to how more of the University men can be interested in them.
Want of space will not permit that anything be said about the
handbook, the work of the new student, and social service committees,
the series of reconstruction meetings, the work of the choir, or the
big effort that was put forth to have our full quota of delegates at
the Des Moines Convention.
A brief reference may be made however, to a new line of activity.
It was discovered that many of the students wished to undertake some
form of boys’ work. To provide the necessary training in leadership
Mr. Dallas of the city Y.M.C.A. came over and gave a series of talks
on the C.S.E.T. programme. As a result at least twenty students

As we look back over the many pleasant times scattered through
the year just closing, one of the bright spots to the girl who loves the
big outdoors is the hike and weener roast at which the Y.W. welcomed
the freshettes into its ranks. The work of the organization, sO aus-
piciously commenced, has been ably carried on by Miss McLennan and
her executive.
At the first general meeting of the year, held in November, Dr.
Buchanan spoke to a joint Y.W. and Y.M. gathering on his work as
a medical missionary among the wild tribes of northern India. In
December Rev. G. A. Clarke gave a very inspiring talk on the homely
topic, ““A Common Pin.”
The January meeting was devoted to messages from our Des Moines
Conference delegates: Miss Swanson, Miss Simpson, Miss McLean,
Miss McLennan.

THE GATEWAY 81
APIRtNE
Alberta College
The year through which we have passed has been extremely ab-
normal. Many of the students of former years have returned and found
their Alma Mater in exile. but in a friendly land. Nor shall our, ex-
periences be quickly forgotten. The inconveniences of the past year ~
have not been less to the University than to us and we deeply appreciate
the kind and considerate spirit shown us during our residence in
Assiniboia. As the session draws to a close the hope of a speedy restora-
tion of our own building seems to be entirely justified, and we all eagerly
look forward to a return of pre-war days.
No day in the A.C. calendar will be more memorable than that on
which the returned men were formally greeted. Joyously the re-
turned were welcomed but a solemn sadness mingled with that
gladsome thought—many had returned, but not all. In this en-
vironment Dr. Thomas arose and briefly’ and eloquently paid a
glowing tribute to the fallen. Addresses of welcome were given by
Principal Tuttle, Dr. H. Smith, President of the College Board, Miss
Burkholder on behalf of the faculty, and Dean Kerr on behalf of the
University. Brief responses were made on behalf of the returned
men by Messrs. Ralph Johnson and C. 8. Pinder who. expressed the
view that as the veteran had been prepared to die for his country he
was now prepared to live for it,

ATHLETICS
The earliness of the winter upset all plans for outdoor field and track
sports before schedules were arranged. Consequently the A.C. football
and track teams were compelled to hibernate and dream what might
have been had they only been given an opportunity.
Our hockey team under the genial management of Mr. W. A.
Henry has been a credit to the College. Its brand of play has been
excellent, clean and effective. Though unable to complete the schedule
due to the suspension of the league its performance was all that could
be desired.
In basketball the ladies preserved their identity while the men
were merged into various University teams. The former have an
enviable reputation in the House League and are now trying their
strength in the city fixtures.
LITERARY DEPARTMENT
Y. W.C. A.
The “Y.W.” has had a splendid year. Weekly study groups have
been conducted under the inspiring leadership of Mrs. C. E. Race to
the delight and profit of all the members. Various visitors from the
home and foreign missionary fields have given helpful addresses. Out-
side the college circle the members have been active in holding Sunday
classes at the “Shelter.” Due to sickness and epidemics this pro-
gramme was suspended for a time but will be resumed after Easter.
Y.M.C. A.
During the year the “Y.’’ work has been more intensive than ex-
tensive.
The .Vesper and Sunday services have been enjoyed by all. To
add to their interest, enthusiasm and inspiration, the “ Y.W.” heartily
co-operated, taking a very responsible part of the work.

TO A.C.
ROBERTSON COLLEGE
This session has been the first in which many of the old students
who were overseas have come together again, and we feel that is is
a memorable year in the history of the college on that account. The
change from the paths of war to those of peace has not been an easy
one to effect. In their efforts to re-adjust themselves the ex-soldiers
may sometimes be tempted to deplore the time which they spent away
from their studies, yet, on the whole, they have perhaps learned lessons
from their experiences overseas that they never could have learned
from books. The fact that the majority of the students are returned
soldiers is doubtless in a large measure responsible for the fine spirit
of comradeship which has prevailed in the college this year.
During the past session we had several distinguished visitors,
notably Dr. Pringle, of Klondike fame, Moderator of the Presbyterian
church, and Rev. Dr. MacMillan of Toronto, who infused fresh interest
into the hymnal and song services of the church. In February we were
favored with a course of lectures from the Rev. Mr. McLean, Secretary
for Sabbath School work in Alberta and British Columbia.
The induction of our new Principal, Dr. Millar, was undoubtedly
the most noteworthy event during the college year. Dr. Millar was
the first missionary on the ground where the city of Saskatoon now
stands. This was in the palmy days before the advent of the railroad,
so that he has done his share of pioneer work. In 1911 Dr. Millar was
appointed Professor of English Bible in the college, and laboured with
great acceptance in this field until his recent appointment as Principal.
He was the subject of a presentation from the students and graduates
of the institution on attaining his well-deserved honour.
THE GATEWAY 85
An event which aroused great interest among our students was the
Des Moines Student Volunteer Convention held in the first week of
this year. The students who were elected delegates from the college
came back as enthusiasts for such conventions and even expressed the
fervent desire that there might be such an event every year. It has
not been explained whether this desire is due to the fact that there were
so many fine young ladies at the conference, but knowing our delegates
as we do, we confess we are somewhat suspicious as to their motives.
Four graduates leave us this year. They have all had wide exper-
ience on mission fields in various parts of Canada. The good wishes
of all the students go with them into the active work of the ministry
which is now opening out before them.
At the student elections held a short time ago John Edgar received
the honor of the Presidency of the Students’ Council for next session.
All his supporters are good men and true. If the fine spirit which has
prevailed in the college this session is in evidence during the next,
but little difficulty will be experienced in guiding the student affairs.
It is only right that we should pay a parting tribute to the brave men
who went from our college, and now lie beneath the soil of that. far-off
foreign land which they helped to save. Our college was privileged
to have them here as students. We were privileged to know them,
and to honour their sterling qualities as personal friends and com-
rades. We rejoice that their names are registered among those through
whose noble deeds Canada is today proudly wearing an immortal
crown of glory, which by the grace of God shall never pass away.
But strew his ashes to the wind
Whose voice or sword has served mankind—
And is he dead, whose glorious mind
Lifts thine on high?
To live in hearts we leave behind,
Is not to die.

Some time ago it was rumored that the jokes, humor, ete. within
the Gateway were ‘‘cheap” and as this accusation came from one
within a position to judge, Si concluded, as he received no remuneration
for anything that he wrote that his were as cheap as any, thus he dis-
continued for the time being.
However he feels that he should let the world know that he still
liveth.
Having made several perusals of large volumes of biographical
natures he has come to the conclusion “that Roberts burns.”’
Tn conclusion he wishes to add a little rhyme entitled
