OPENING PROCEEDINGS

Welcoming an overflow audience Hon. Dr. MacMillan, Minister 91’ -Education, said the present occasion was a most memorable event ln the history of this famous institution of Prince of Wales College. His only regret was that the seating capacity of the auditorium was not large enough to a_ccommod,ate the large audience. He regretted also the luluvoidable absence of the Prin- cipal, Dr. Robertson. who after 40 years of faithful work in the in- stitution was denied the privilege of ationding this important func- tion, as he was detained at home through illness. Regrettably, also, illness had pre-

vented the attendance of Hon. W. . Lea and Dr. Munro, Superin-

Scotia. Dr. McFarlane, Superin- tendent of Education for New Brunswick ,had also sent his regrets at being unavoidably absent. A warm welcome to the university

representatives present was tender- ed by the chairman, who introduc- ed each representative to the audi- ence amid warm applause,

PROF. H. ll. SHAW

The sincere affection with which

old Prince of Wales College was re- garded by faculty and graduates was emphasized by Prof. I-LH. Shaw, B.Sc., Chief Superintendent of Education. who .was the first speaker called upon.

Tonight we are assembling in a building much better equipped in every way than the old institution; but, continued Mr, Shaw, the bulld- ing of Prince of Wales College did not take place in the short space

ies, clothed and fed 19 women and 69 children, collected £72 for fam- ily relief,-and kept the children of the community in school, By 1852 the provincial schools had increas- ed in number. and the attendance had increased to 5,366. Four years later, the Normal School for the training of teachers was establish- eo and it short time afterwards the name of Prince of Wales Col- lege was given to our chief public educational institution.

Now, my reason for narrating

these incidents in our educational advancement is to emphasize the fact that our pioneer ancestors, ir- respective of difficulties, depres- sion, and a scarcity of funds, were determined and united in their ef- forts to give educational opportun- ities to all the people. That is our tradition,-a. tradition of which we are justly proud. That tradition endures; it is being perpetuated to- night. Prlnce Edward Island owes more today to the character of its first settlers,--French and English and Irish and Scotch, and to the accidents of history than any other province. Here there has been less destroying of our traditions. The early settlers felt that ii' youth was sound they could feel safe about the future.

They believed with Emerson that

“to make the wise man the state exists." They _accordingly pieced their faith in state education. But whereas the schools were open to all who cared to attend, Prince of Wales College was open only to those who had proved their capac- ity and who could meet the re- quired tcsts. `

The College Objective

In s democracy Prince of Wales

College was intended to train an aristocracy of brains, which in turn would go out to raise the educa- tional level of the whole, until better thinking would spread abroad and greater enlightenment would permeate the whole. They did not believe in multiplying medlocrities but in developing if possible intellectual superlorities. They would make a sound general education possible for all who were capable of receiving it. But nt the same time, they would discover A youth of high abilities and put him in the way of taking advant- age of the highest training cisc- where. That, it seems to ine, Ls a correct and fair interpretation oi the ideals of our pioneer educa- tional guides. '

The result is that Prince of

Wales has shaped s certain type of mind, and s certain type of per- sonality. It has given many dis- tinguished mensndwomentoschol- slnhip, the arts, and the profes-

sions. It has sent out many PPO- ducts, eminent in many fields, but

dictates many cliallgcs.. 'Ilhc col-l lege must help men to keep grow-

bc mindful that the college is all integral port of tile s/,lcicty it .serv- es and that it cannot fulfil its functions if it is oblivious to the necessity of the social order that surrounds lt. The colleges obliga- tion to that social order must not be forgotten. It is all n matter of degree-of adjusting illc balance. I-“cr upon the proper balance of facts and ideas ollr future depends. Continuous rcadjustmcnt is neces- sary. The late Andrew Carnegie, to whom we in the Maritimes all are so deeply indeistcd, used to say that hc llevcr knew a mall who could legislate completely and wisely for the next generation. This is why illc oorporlltlon ls not obliged t0 continue in a fixed routine, which would mean in the ond sterility, and wlly it is alert in see new op- portunities for selvice. It has mov- "ed among the people in their daily lives, seeking t/o heighten their sat- isfaction in the best that the race has to offer out of its experiences. And so a.djus'i.lncnt..s and additions and changes from our earlier ideals of cdllcation do not imperil in any way the colleges intellectual excel- lence, so long as shoddy methods and frivolous sllbjocts are avoided and skill is basccl on the mastery of basic l'll'lllcil:les.

".\buni:lulltly Equipped"

To niake these adjllstnlentg llle

new Prince of Wales is bundantly equipped. There is a. library “Ol only for ilnlncdlotc use but for the ser- vice of the whole province. I sm l'mil'.ded of t-he visit of James I ,to Oxford more than three centur- ies ago. "If I were not a king," he .u:lid,_“I would be a student there: and if it was so that I must be a prisonfsr, I would de-i1l'<‘ 10 have no other prison than flint library to be chained iogcllhcr with so many good alltl1o:‘s." And Burton said "l|l a llbr:ll'y~wc may take ll S08! in thc lup of eternity." The stlldcnls of iodny and of lrvmorrow have thc'-e aclvaulagrr. wllicll we rlicl H05 possess.

lvhicll history has so frcrluelltly re- cclkicd. We are settling down to what must be ri long collrse of rc- adjustment in an unsettled world. Improvement will not bc found in temporary betterment. But in this period of tragic uncertainty and tllrbulnncc. our problems are call- ablc ci' llulnall sollliicll, It is to

youth we look for the now order. T

tion is the obligation of modern youth. lil years ago our stricken world called to ycuth, and youth responded. Youth was i/hen regard-

ed as a. time of drcanls and hopes and aspirations. These dreams of service are still the possession of youth. Life offers you today a chal- lenge to your intelligence. You have before you the migllticst task ever known, mlghtlel' than that of your elders 18 years ago, io salvage a wrecked civilization with a rc- madc world as your reward. But remember that education cannot be given co you; it cannot be com- manded, OlTly the ormortunity for it can be provided. It must, like a precious metal, be dug out by yourselves under wise _guidance Your gift is imagination, courage. the vvilllllgncss to carry on. to make experiments. To appreciate the pro- blems and the opportunities of the present we need as never before the daring of youth, and illcn pro- gress will come.

Voices Grattiullr

To the Primo Mlllllstcl' and tile Minister of Education, may I voice lin conclusion what I believe lo be thc feelings of this audience, made up of men and women of diverse views on economic illcurlcs and of differ(-llt religious and political bc' llcls. lt is a. \\'o:'d of gratll-uclc and collgratlllatioll.
