Excerpt from Victoria College Annual, 1928-29 I need not enlarge upon the brilliant record our students have made in their studies and other activities after-leav ing this institution. The College, I think, has never been in a more healthy condition; the many societies and clubs whose aims and achievements are reported in these pages are proof of the' wholesome, catholic nature of our contact with life.

Excerpt from Victoria College Annual: Year 1927-1928 The record made by our graduates in other Colleges and Universities is most encouraging and must act as a powerful stimulus to our present students. The year just closing has been one of harmony and pro gress. It would be hard to devise a more searching test of the social quality of a body of students than the practice of Student self-government. Its success in the, College is a fine tribute to everybody concerned and more particularly to the members of the Students' Council upon whom most of the burden falls. Fortunately when Dr. Paul retired from the Principal ship he did not withdraw completely from the College. His continued connection makes it probable that we shall at least maintain the excellent position gained during his administration.

Excerpt from Victoria College Annual, 1929-30 We have gained something more than mere learn ing. From the untiring efforts of those who have taken such kindly interest in us, and have helped us in so many ways, we have learned to live, while yet we lived to learn. We have seen that there are many sides to every question, and that we must have tolerance and broad sympathies if we are' to take our part worthily in the world. From the sea and from the hills, from far and near, we can see the college building outlined against the sky. As we look at it in future years, we shall feel proud to have belonged there for a short time, and we shall feel that our love and loyalty will never cease. T was with deep regret that the members of the faculty and student 1 body of Victoria College learned of the death of Mr. John Marr in October 1929, in Vancouver. Mr. Marr, a graduate in Classics of Aberdeen University, came to us from the King Edward High School in Vancouver after many years service in various centres of the province. Professor Marr was associated with Victoria College from 1927 1929, both as Registrar and Professor of Classics. In both these capacities he endeared himself to all whom he met by his great kindness and good humour. Although suffering great pain from the disease which eventually caused his death, Mr. Marr clung nobly to his work with untiring cour age and cheerfulness. We of the College deeply mourn his loss, and we sincerely miss A very gallant gentleman. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Victoria College Annual, 1925-26 In the city, nobody takes'a chance with fire. The person who is careless with fire is recognized as a pest; the person who wilfully sets fire is looked on as a dangerous criminal, and everybody's hand is against him. In the woods, there are thousands of acres of timber, dry, resinous, as readily combustible as a powder magazine.

Excerpt from Victoria College Annual: Year 1930-31 His issue of the Annual is presented with a view to giving the Sophomores a fit souvenir by which they may recall the days that they spent at Victoria College. The literary efforts contained within these covers have been contributed by the students themselves, so we feel that they give a true spirit of College days. During the past year there has been marked development in every phase of College activity. By the addition of two new courses, Chemistry 2, and Geography 5, Science and Commerce students are enabled to complete 'two years here. Socially, the Students Council has sponsored many delightful functions which have made possible friendships that will be valuable in later life. The Literary and Players Clubs have made great progress; and the College teams have again upheld the enviable reputation set up in former years. The Rugby team for the third time in succession were successful in winning the Provincial Intermediate Rugby Championship; to them we offer our heartiest congratulations. The Annual Board is this year offering a Science Scholarship of fifty dollars. Crane Limited, of Victoria, is offering a slide rule prize for Applied Science Students.

Excerpt from Victoria College Annual: Year 1926-27 We feel that it is fitting here to voice the deep regret of the student body for the loss they have sustained by the death of Professor Howard Russell. Professor Russell was a rare and accomplished scholar, brilliant in both the Arts and the Sciences, a Father of the College and a dear friend of all those who had the privilege of studying under him.

This early work by Radclyffe Hall was originally published in 1928 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'The Well of Loneliness' is a novel that follows an upper-class Englishwoman who falls in love with another woman while serving as an ambulance driver in World War I. Marguerite Radclyffe Hall was born on 12th August 1880, in Bournemouth, England. Hall's first novel The Unlit Lamp (1924) was a lengthy and grim tale that proved hard to sell. It was only published following the success of the much lighter social comedy The Forge (1924), which made the best-seller list of John O'London's Weekly. Hall is a key figure in lesbian literature for her novel The Well of Loneliness (1928). This is her only work with overt lesbian themes and tells the story of the life of a masculine lesbian named Stephen Gordon.

In this book the author, an investigative journalist, traces the social history of marijuana from its origins to its emergence in the 1960s as a defining force in an ongoing culture war. He describes how the illicit marijuana subculture overcame government opposition and morphed into a multibillion-dollar industry. In 1996, Californians voted to legalize marijuana for medicinal purposes. Similar laws have followed in several other states, but not without antagonistic responses from federal, state, and local law enforcement. The author draws attention to underreported scientific breakthroughs that are reshaping the therapeutic landscape: medical researchers have developed promising treatments for cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer's, diabetes, chronic pain, and many other conditions that are beyond the reach of conventional cures. This book is an examination of the medical, recreational, scientific, and economic dimensions of the world's most controversial plant.
