That both men and women are eager for health instruction has been proven by a unique free health exhibition Linking the East to the West. At the semi-monthly meeting on Thursday, February 14th, the Board of Governors of the University of To- ronto heard with a great deal of gratification that the seven Fellow- ihlpa for graduate students have been renewed for another year. For some years the Canadian Pacific Railway Co. lias provided three of these Fel- lowships and one Fellowsliip has been provided by the Imperial Oil Co., one by Sir Edmund Osier, one by Sir Ed- ward Kemp, and one by Colonel R. W. Leonard. These Fellowships are of the annual value of $500 each and are Intended for men and women who have graduated from some Canadian University outsido of Ontario and who wish to tal<e post-graduate work •t the University of Toronto. The Intention of these Fellowships is to strengthen Canadian national ties by llnlilng the East to the West and, in ilie opinion of the authorities of the provincial university of Ontario, this purpose is being well served. The students who have benefited by these Fellowships during the years that tliey have been given have been stu- dents of excellent calibre. The Fel- lowships have been awarded this yoar to five young women and two young men, of whom four have come from LSritish Columbia, one from Saskat- chewan, one from Manitoba, and one from Nova Scotia. The subjects in which these students are talking post- graduate worlc are English, History, Political Science, Romance Languages, Kducatlonal Theory and Biochemistry. The donors of the graduate Fellow- ships have the satisfaction of know- ing that they are doing work of na- tional importonce and that they are alpo assisting tlic School of Graduate Studies of the University of Toronto to develop the excellent service that If i?i reiulcring to the dominion.

Yet with all the assistance to live that may come from the science of professional men or the atrectionate concern of those who personally care for us and want to further our de- signs, there must be â€" in the last analysis â€" the strength of will on a man's own part to live his life, to face his duty and his destiny, to make the best of things with a high coura^re that never recognizes defeat and never will haul down the flag In surrender.
