Farewell to George Aitken.

On July 22, the eve of his departure for Oxford, a farewell dance was held in the Gymnasium in honour of the Rhodes Scholar. The evening was most enjoyable and a large number of students took the opportunity of wishing him the best of luck and "bon voyage." During the evening Mr. E. Evans in a brief speech referred to his^* success in the various phases of college life, and on behalf of his fellow students presented him with a cheque as a token of the good fellowship with which he was regarded by all. Professor Boyd-Wilson as president of the Football Club alluded to Aitken's prowess on the football field both as a player and a leader. Mr. Aitken thanked the speakers and his fellow students, and said he was sorry to leave V.U.C. where lie had spent some of his happiest days. The gathering sang "For He's A Jolly Good Fellow," and dancing was resumed and carried on until a late hour.
