Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from What Is Happening to Our Traditions?: The Opening Address to the University of Manitoba, September 27, 1916
We are living at a time when many of the familiar pleasantries of academic life have less than their usual meaning. I shall hope to become a creditor by the gratitude of the new class by making any formal welcome I am supposed to extend to them this morning as matter of-fact as possible. Our recruit may not be a veteran. But he is entitled at least to consider himself a soldier as soon as he dons the uniform. Those of us who have seen the University outgrow the present science building. The annex, the terrace. And borrowed rooms wherever we could get them, now share with you the novelty of grateful satisfaction with regard to our really comfortable accommodation in these buildings. After all there is nothing which you desire more than to merge into the student body and to become indistinguishable in the common work of the University; and if you will allow me to make one slight reservation, that is what we also desire for you.
