Volume 24 Number 11 80 03 13 College Royal and Open House Students did it all for you Students have done for this University what it could not do for itself, said a proud Presi- dent D.F. Forster of College Royal and University Open House weekend. In his remarks at the Directors Luncheon last Saturday, the President said that this years College Royal and University Open House, the biggest and most ambitious event ever undertaken, was organized by students who, at the same time, are pursuing full-time studies. President Forster praised the thou- sands of students involved for "proudly serving the 56-year tradition of College Royal" and he also thanked everyone in the University com- munity who had contributed to the success of the Open House weekend. Dawn Wert, College Royal president, responded: "Students are really proud of this University and they like to share it with others." Guelph has a tremendous number of resources, she said, especially people resources. "At Guelph, we have a lot to be proud of and it is the people who make it that way."
