A DOROTHY GRAY EVENT
"While it is important to recall our traditions, we must also give thought to the challenge which the future will bring," declared Dr. Frank MacKinnon. principal of Prince of Wales College, in his report at the College's 90th con- vocation yesterday morning.
"Prince of Wales is sharing with her sister institutions across the
i i
'"l”l'i”f 1 ;L, P V land the many difficult tasks 3 ' . which modern education presents." u.:rw.,,,,.,.. ' - Dr. MacKinnon said. "Where we
are strong. we mutt retain our strengths; -where we are weak. and we have our weakness and serious ones too. we must strive for im- provement. "This is a junior college, and I am among ihe many educatlonlsts who feel that within the next few years we will see a great increase in the number and importance of such institutions which can corn- bine so elfectlvcly the senior high sthool and early university years.
"The challenge to Prince of Wales is to provide the best facili- ties for the young men and women who -wish a good high school train- msz. a sound foundation for uni- versity study. or adequate prepar- ntion for the teaching profession.
'”1'his is a time in world's history when we along with other colleges are obliged to provide to our ut- most capacity the best possible educational facilities for the larg- est number of our young citizens both rural and urban. The chal- lenge is great; the response must be in proportion,"

superiority complex... Your edu- cation is useless if you forget that service and humility. or the lack of them, are the true indications of character."
He quoted Cardinal Newman as defining great gifts as the cor- relative of great work. and as stating: "We are not born for our- selves. but for ou.r kind, for our neighbors, for our country; it is but selfishness, indolence. a per- verse fastidiousness, an unman- liness. and no virtue or praise, to bury our talent in a napkin."
He admunishcd the graduates that "your country needs your con- tributions to its welfare. Your Province. small and all though it IS. must participate substantially in the nation's efforts, and there is much that you can do to build her future."

Growing Importance Of Junior Colleges Noted ByPrincipa1MacKinnon
rm. FRANK MMKINNON j
governors of his University had established two new scholarships for Prince of Wales students. each valued at 3150 per year for two years, to,be named the Samuel Robertson Memorial Schola.rshlP' and the 'Liiy E. Seaman Scholar- ship' in recognition of the ex- ceptional contribution which the late Principal and present Resis- trar have made to education in this Province and the Marltimes.
Reference was also made in Dr. MacKlnnon's report to the Visit Of two Royal Commissions to the College during the year.
Tribute To Dr. Steel
"Another important event which took place since last Convocation. "said Dr. MacKinnon." was the re- signation of Dr. G. D. steel after forty years as professor, Vice- Principai and Principal. His ioyili and devoted service to the College and to the Province is recognized far and voids in the respect and affection 'n which he is held by his colleagues, his students. and his friends. Until last summer I thought very highly of Dr. Steel, but in the past year I have learn- ed to appreciate him all the more since I have seen at close range the problems with which he was faced and the work -which he had to perform. I am sure that this Convocation will join me in ex- pressing our appreciation of his successful career and our best wishes to him and to Mrs. Steel for many years of health and hap- piness.
"I shouidlike to record our great- ful thanks to His Majesty':: Government. and particularly to the Premier, for the physical im- movements which were made tr.- the College building. Upon the in- itiative of the Hon. J. Walter Jones. and with the advice and cooperat- ion of the Department of Public Works. we were provided with an excellent set of general offices and staff offices.

It was the last straw. With horrified face Dawson stared at him lncredulously for some see- onds. then with a whispered curss he dropped his head hopelessly into his hands. ' Unexpectedly the inspector turn- ed to Robin. "00 down and fetch Miss Dexter." he order sharply. "Tell her I've found Brett!
When. a minute or two later, he returned with Laurette, having in the meantime told her as much as he could of whatitacl happened. the detective was still as he had left him. standing beside Dawson. on whom he had slipped a pair of handcuffs. He nodded to Robin to take his place. walked to the door in the corner of the Nrom anti opened it;
It, gave on to 9, smaller room. a more than usually well-furnished bod-dressing-room in which was a modernly-equipped toilet stand. The room had ample space for a couch-bed placed against one of the walls. on this lay a burly figure. West recognized it instantly as that of Rufus Brett.
He was fully dressed. but fast asleep..or drugged? The latter. the detective realised, as he bent over him. observed his slow, heavy breathing and raised his eyelids. The man seemed unharmed other- wise. Laurette had followed the detective.
"Here you are, Miss Dexter." he remarked quietly to her over his shoulder, "Your guess-if it were a guess-was correct all right. Here's our man."
"Is he all right?' she murmured. as she knelt beside the couch and touched Brett's puf-fy face.
"Yes. don't worry," said the detective ironically. astonished at her concern for such a person. "There's nothing much wrong with him. He's doped. but not danger- ously. I shouldn't think." He con- tinued to watch her wonderingly. "You seem extremely interested." he added. and after a pause ad- dressed her in a compelling voice: "I feel you still have a lot to tell me. Miss Dexter."
"I have." she answered simply, as she rose and looked straight at him. "I am interested. Rufus Brett is my father!"
"What!"
Robin. who had also heard her, was too astonished even to gasp.
As though she desired to make her explanation to Robin as well as to West. she moved over to where Robin stood.
"Yes. I suppose really, Mr. West, I have behaved most unlawfully. Perhaps what I did, though. lsnt unforgivablel guess at least, it may be understandable. I didn't know he was my father until just re- cently. All my life I have thought Sherwood Dexter was. It was just after the murder. when you were Iliipnting for: Brett. I got word from

He sent me by messenger 3 docu- ment that proved my parentage beyond a doubt. There was also a miniature of my n1other-additlon- 81 Droof. so 1 went to see him where he was hiding. What he told me completely convinced me. He wanted my help. of course. It seem- es that my father-in a way I still think of Mr. Dexter as that- and he had been partners in the old days. There was a split. Even then. poor Rufus Brett"... she smiled !'Uei'11ily." was a dz-unka.rd...out he's I load sort at heart. I'm sure of that. My mother had died when I was born. and he thought it would be best if he entrusted me to the Dexter's care.

He had no legal claim on me but he used to threaten Mr. Dex- tcr that he'd tell me he-a drunk- ard-was my real father."
Sh? paused. It was at Robin she looked almost searchingly. as if to read his thoughts in his eyes. What she saw there cnheartencd her. She mustered a smile.
"This is almost too much for 'ny frayed nerves." west muttered. "I must 583'. Miss Dexter. I can't ssve what reason you had ta become filial all of a sudden. He hadn't been what yo'.l'd call a good father to you. had he?"

I guess that's about all."
"Though it meant your losing how many millions in it?"
She made a gesture of disdain. "That? I didn't think of that! I guess I've got all I need on my own account."
Already on a fresh train of thought. the detective said to her: "There's still a big gap somewhere. How for example, did Brett get here?"
'I forgot that, but I think I've worked it out. I sheltered Brett, and that night my house was. somehow. entered and he was tak- en away. I fancy Leasing must have come to learn I had taken Rufus Brett under my wing, wondered

"I see. I believe that's another bull's-eye to your credit. There are run point: I require to set clear on yet ...but you're all nicely where I want you now. I'll get the whole story rounded off before I'm through. Meantime". he turned in Dowson, who had sat dejected and apparently indifferent during the narration, and. clapped a hand on his shoulder-"what were you go- ing to do with him. eh? You and healing meant to take Brett with you?"
Dawson. a figure of hopeless despair, nodded feebly.
"what did you intend to do wlTh him eh?. I think I can guess, com, on!" Without force but firmly he assisted the other to his feet and led him towards the door, remark. ing to Laurette as he did so, "wg-.3 get an ambulance for Mr. Brett."
