For the past five years the Alumni Federation of the University of To- ronto, throigh a portion of the War Memorial Fund set aside for scholar- ships, has been assisting war vet- erans 'to complete their University courses by means of loans. The sys- tem of loans has been handled ju- "diclously by the committee in charge, loans being made only on condition that the Faculty or College concerned should agree to defer payment of tui- tion fees. The case of each returned man was considered on its merits, care being taken to make loans only to these who really needed them. As 5| a result of this policy over 500 re- turned men have been assisted in fit- ting themselves to take a useful place in the life of the province.
