WINDY SUNDAY

There was a bitter cold northwest wind sweeping across the Yard yesterday morning--may be that partly accounted for the chilliness of the atmosphere inside the Memorial Chapel, where a spic and span Easter crowd listened to a sermon by Dr. Henry John Cody, President of the University of Toronto. But undoubtedly there was another contributing factor in the words of Dr. Cody himself. Exhorting his student hearers not to be "afraid of the high and noble adventure of life," he held up to them as an example of fearlessness the young men of Canada who have gone to war. No one walked out, but there was a nervous shifting of feet and clearing of throats. And the wind in the trees outside seemed to sigh with an even sadder note. It wasn't much like Easter.
