Yet, if you take the trouble to in- quire. you will find former stu- dents of this institution and of St. Dunstan's University in our City Council. in our Provincial Government. on the judges bench. in Parliament. and in other posit- ions of influence in the country.

”I could name many men who were students of the College dur- ing recent years and who adorn the high positions they occupy. Incvitably then, no matter what may be said to the contrary, we have every reason to expect and hope that you in the course of a few years will rise to positions of dignity and of influence "
