Samuel Taylor Coleridge begins his poem "Frost at Midnight" with "The Frost performs its secret ministry / Unhelped by any wind." In this holiday season the "secret ministry" surrounds us with beauty, as do other phenomena of winter weather.
I wish for you all the beauty and good - relationships, activities, physical things - that you hope for at this time of year, and that you will enjoy rest and renewal.
On behalf of the entire University of Manitoba community, I wish you and your loved ones a joyous holiday season, and a healthy and prosperous new year.
Sincerely, David T. Barnard, Ph.D. President and Vice-Chancellor
