      But
      let
      us
      be
      honest
      about
      the
     
     
      proceedings;
      Founder’s
      Day
      was
      as
     
     
      dull
      as
      the
      hockey
      coach’s
      motivation-
     
     
      al
      speeches.
      Dr.
      Ed
      MacDonald’s
     
     
      speech,
      though
      important
      and
      impres-
     
     
      sive,
      was
      way
      too
      fucking
      long.
      The
     
     
      entire
      event
      took
      place
      absent
      any
      real
     
     
      genuine
      sense
      of
      community,
      of
      which
     
     
      this
      place
      is
      so
      rightly
      proud.

      surely
      somebody

      true.
     
     
      The
      truth
      is

      The

      the

      and
      the
