ception OF one year. In spite OF the
hindrances very satisfactory work has
been done In the regular college lines
as we'll as in the lines of military
Training instituted by the government.
A most notable thing to which the
president calls attention is the fact
that in spite Of the ravages OF the
"a single death in either the college or
the Trinity Park School This too in
the face Of the fact that the services
Of the hospital and of doctors and
trained nurses we're very limited. The

students aided by a kind Providence

Trinity's showing In the world war
Is also worthy OF special note More

Among the things recommended by
President Few are the following: l.

Although the news OF their coming

or so before the actual arrival of the
Anzaces, the hospitality committee of
the ". c. c. s.. was quick to get into
action. A tempting lunch. with
plenty of ice cream and tobacco on

strangers from the distant Pacific
