Annotation

THE University of Toronto Athletic Association was formed in the spring of 1893 succeeding the original Gymnasium Committee of 1891-2, through whose energy and initiative the Gymnasium was built. On October 27, 1943, the completion of its fiftieth year was marked by an anniversary dinner to which were invited all those who had been members of the Directorate during that period. The Athletic Association is the oldest student organization in the University with the possible exception of the University College Literary and Scientific Society. In reviewing the past fifty years one cannot fail to be impressed by the confidence reposed in the Association by the University Trustees and the Board of Governors.
