"The same comparison can be mm? ll! lmlllslry. and the some speculation on results may be in- dlllsed in. Of course we of the West may say: "I ivould rather fail and remain a free man, than conquer as slave." But that does not solve the problem. We can still be free men. and be imbued with am- bition, eagerness. and readiness to undertake sacrifices. Perhaps the crisis is not sufficiently imminent to initiate any crusading spirit; but how near must it come before con- viction is widespread? Will there then be time to revamp our att- itude and philosophy of life? Or shall we still think that somehow

or other in the Providence of God

we can muddle through. These we thoughts that must permeate the minds not only of our students but also of our whole society, if ul- timate success is'to be ours. "Our total enrollment this year. 325, did not vary much from that of last year, a small increase at the College level and somewhat fewer in high school. Nothing of great significance occurred during the year to disturb the "even tenor of our ways". It was an ordinary year. with ordinary successes. and I suppose the failures may be placed in the same category. The only changes in our Collage Staff were the appointment of Mr. Cul- len DeLory. B.E.. to teach in the engineering course. and the giving leave to Father Adrien Arsenault of the high school department to enable him to study in Paris; he was replaced by Father Francis Ledwell. BIG UNDERTAKING "As a con” ' of necessary expansion. it is the purpose of the Board of Governors to proceed as soon as arrangements can be made. and that may take some time, to erect a ladies college near the campus. This will provide boarding facilities for young ladies who, at the college level. are '8' king courses here. and also make provision for some other courses particular to the needs of these students. I may say that. In our present financial status it is a se- rious undertaking. and demands .3 o u r a g e and optimism; we hope that once under way some interested benefactor may come to our assistance.

"These are official figures and to confirm them we should look at some of the major projects which are responsible for the develop- ment of these figures. Our original basic industries. like agriculture. fishing and lumbering, have grown at a rate commensurate with the rate of national growth, but there have been some spectacular de- velopments. both of discovery and of exploitation.

"I refer to the iron ore project on the Labrador Coast; the ex- pansion in the production of base metals and strategic materials in the Laurentlan Shield. The most significant development of a sim- ilar character is our new frontier to the North. And here let me pause to say that as recently as 25 years ago we had thought of
