Our Lady The President

Mr. R. M. Campbell enjoyed his privileges as president of the V.U.C.S.A. for a very brief period before being called to brighten a more elevated plane in society.

Our sorrow at losing a leader whose ferocious energy was more than tempered by his benignant expression is, however, lessened by the fact that his successor is Miss Sheppard.

It is the first occasion that a woman has been elected to this office. Is it a proof that the old-fashioned prejudice against women holding any public position of responsibility is dying out? According to the speakers in a recent College debate we are afraid that there are still many seekers after knowledge in these halls who are unable to extricate themselves from this ancient web.

We offer our congratulations, and hope that Miss Sheppard will enjoy a very successful and a lengthy period in office.
