...this period of international distrust and suspicion one of the most reassuring signs is the good feeling which prevails between the students of different countries. This evening's hockey game is an example. The players of McGill University should be greeted with all friendliness and respect, for their opinion of the reception we give them will go a long way towards promoting or hindering the cordiality which should exist between the United States and her neighbor to the north.
