Mr, Mounfield is Business Administrator of the College. He spoke about its work and aspirations in a facile, interesting mainer, transforming what would ordinarily be a "dry" subject into a topic every Whitby businessman wanted to hear more about. ; Is Overcrowded The tremendous post-war regis- tration has brought about the need for & new building. Built in 1919 for the sum of $120,000 ("by a socialist | government"'--the ' U.F.0.) the college is now maintained by a ial grant of $50,000 yearly substantial fees paid by the on for service personnel, in addition to various other smaller grants and the students' fees. For years the enrolment stood at around 150 which Principal Fred Haynes and a staff of 13 could jeach without difficulty. Today there are 634 students. Another 15- roomed building has been acquired on Nassau Street and five more rooms are used in the Ryerson Bchool. Forty-two instructors are on the staff and there are 27 teaching rooms. Under Ontario Government The college is governed by a touncil under the Department of Education. Courses are four years. All students take the same funda- mental classes for the first year, then branch out into specialization. Most students today are going into the luerative branch of commercial art. So great is the demand for their services that a low percentage stays to complete the final year of their course. ,One of the departments is Com- mercial Architecture, formerly call- sd Interior Decorating before that appellation came into use by local painters and decorators, Mr. Mounfield stressed that, no matter what the artist's ability "you can't go to work as an aesthetic artist until you have made a living and made a name for yourself." "A School of Design has been started to fill a need for develop- ment of Canadian motifs", Mr. gro tical k in prac wor the arts'is a necessary part of svery student's training, the college maintains a woodworking shop, workrooms for pottery and cera- mics, for textile weaving and for furniture building. This is because the designer must know the mechanics of the craft in which he Is working. Of course. it is not ne- cessary for an art student to be- come highly proficient in the mechanics of these crafts. Lithogra- phy and etching, mural design and sculpture were also, mentioned by the speaker.

Beans, beets, pears, oranges, orange juice, butter and other commodities were detailed with the amount which beach had been over the ceiling. In- spector W.

Several Pilgrim vice- presidents, including the Lord Chancellor and the Speaker, were there, and scores of other Pilgrims were spread about the church. "For many years they had been swayed by Lord Greenwood"s mag- nificent oratory. There was a hush of éxpectancy when he rose to speak after dinner in his rich Cana- dian voice. Today each Pilgrim felt he had lost a personal friend. Lord Greenwood was the greatest Pilgrim of them all.
