...under the shadow of the loss of John White Hallowell, of the Class of 1901, who died on January 5, 1927. He was one of the original members of the Council appointed to serve until 1930 and since the inception of the Fund had been one of its most loyal supporters and helpful administrators.

Mennonites, 91,000 in number, have become prosperous and content; the Canadians have lately had trials. Though the government throughout the War stood by its promise of non-conscription, loyal Canadians, irritated, demanded state supervision of Mennonite schools, which, granted, led last week's band to leave.
