For more than a century, since 1855, St. Dunstan's Vat | versity has been contributing to

Prince Edward Island and Can- adian education, and this past year has been no exception. Acting on the theory that educa- tion cannot remain static, but | must advance or fall back, SDU | has continued to move ahead | with the changing -times.

New buildings, an increase in | the number of faculty members | and a record enrollment of full time students have set the pat- | tern for advance during the past twelve months.

garding our future, but is hop. ed that the recommendations of the Royal Commission will - be implemented at an early date, The projections we prepared for thé Royal .Commission and the Bladen Commission show that we expect to have 1,200 students onCthe campus by 1972 and we must plan for that number now. One of our immediate needs is a new science building and also two residences, one fo; men and one for women. We

already have plans -for thesd

buildings and we cannot afford to wait too much longer before going ahead.”

In speaking of the calibre of students now attending univer., sity, Rev. Owen Sharkey, who is

ing and counselling service, said: “Our figures indicate that this year's freshman class is the best we have had since’ we instituted a recular testing pro- gram in 1957. The members of this class seem to have a better attitude toward study; it is no lonver recesserv to stress the value of education — they see that for themselves. Now, it's more a matter of helving them.

“The demands of the courses .

are increasing and this leads to stress in the lives of some students. But this stress is caused mainiv bv the students’ lack of ability to dis. civline themselves to persist ent study. College life requires self . discioline and manv can. not meet this requirement. But those who do, and who co m. plete their studies, deserve any Drestize that a university degreé brings.”
