Ityan, S.M., M.A.), said that with the close of the year, the college had completed its 44th year of existence, while the year marked, also, the completion of fifty years of special educational effort on the part of the Catholies of the Dominion. The year had been a successful one for the college. The school roll was 202 —only once before had it passed the 200 mark.
