Dear Editor of the Downhome magazine, I am almost 89 years old and felt I must speak out about Memorial University not including the "Ode" at this year's Convocation. Due to having asthma, I was sent to Nova Scotia Teachers College in the 50s. I was the only student from the "new" province with our own Ode as well as a whole songbook of great songs. They are about our history and hopefully will never be forgotten. Isn't it the job of our university to keep our history alive? What better way than playing our music? Would those planning such programs please reconsider? Eileen Elms Gander, NL   Submitted By: NULL
