“Since my last report, another great European war has broken out. Little did any of us think at the end of tho last war that any of our pupils would become involved in another great conflict,” said Mr. W. A. Armour, headmaster of Wellington College, in his report at yesterday's meeting of the Wellington Colleges Board. “This great disaster cannot but fill the hearts and minds of us all with sadness. Our great consolation is that our cause is just and that no sacrifice is too great to banish from the earth the forces antagonistic to our principles of right and freedom. Already, we have lost from the roll two of our prefects. One of them is in the Air Force and the other is iu an artillery unit.”
