University of British Columbia, Dear Sir: Permit me to draw your attention to a sentence on page 15 of the June issue of the Chronicle: "The Greyhound was used as a coursing' dog in Egypt by the Pharaohs, and is mentioned by Ovid Zeno- phon (second century)." Is this the same Ovid Zenophon who used to take love-letters from Cleopatra to Marcus Aurelius? Yours very truly, Geoffrey B. Riddehough, (Arts '24). We award a special and secret prize to Professor Riddehough for reading advertisements to the dreggs. Reading ads is its own reward, but we cannot let such industry go modestly by. Without wishing to put words into an ad-man'8 mouth ■we feel that when the Doggy Wash Beauty Parlor said greyhounds were mentioned by one Ovid Xenophon, the D.W.B. Parlor was referring to Ovid Xenophon Junior, not Senior. No wonder Professor R. was for a moment confused. This is no reflection on, him at all. On the contrary. We wish, however, to point out that while most magazines slant their stories to make you turn to the ads in relief, we follow the opposite policy.—Kd. Xotc. The Editor, Alumni Chronicle. Sir: Somewhat hesitantly I call your attention to a Doggy Wash Beauty Parlor advt. in the June issue. It says greyhounds were mentioned by Chaucer. It then advises us (on the strength of this information?) to have our dogs clipped to the tune of three dollars. Greyhounds don't need clipping . . . which is the sole advantage of greyhounds. But if they did need clipping, what has Chaucer got to do with it? Chaucer isn't going to clip them, you may lay to that. I feel I have a right to protest, since I am descended from Chaucer's sister. (This, oddly enough, is true.) In 20-odd generations, I must have about one-millionth of Chaucer blood. Which makes me one in a million. And that's more than you can say about greyhounds, who are terribly inbred. Yours faithfully, David Brock, Arts '30. .Is far as we can follow Dave Brock (who is a nice guy to follow in. every sense of the word ")iice") writes in to complain about Geoffrey Chaucer and assorted greyhounds. If he's worried about getti)i<) himself mixed up with a greyhound <rr even mixed up with (}. Chaucer, he can set his mind at rest. Not that anybody ever accused Dave's mind of being at rest. —Ed.

But put your imagination in dream-gear, because this is only part of the giant project now a-building — on the unearthly scale of a scientific fantasy — in a mountainous corner of British Columbia. This is an Aluminum Company of Canada project — Canada's latest answer to the free world's sore need for strategic aluminum. Its realization will involve an area of 5,000 square miles. Jobs to be done include: the raising of lakes a hundred feet or more above their present levels; building the largest rock-fill dam in the Commonwealth; boring ten miles of tunnel through a mountain chain; creating and harnessing one of the world's highest water drops for power use; and stringing a transmission line between two mountain peaks — with helicopters. The potential output of aluminum from this 'Martian' project will be 500,000 metric tons annually. WORKING WITH CANADIANS IN EVERY WALK OF LIFE SINCE 1817 Page 6 U. B. C. ALUMNI CHRONICLE Yes, this is among the very greatest things to happen to the West since the transcontinental railroads were built. One of the biggest strides yet in Canada's march to greatness. In keeping with its tradition of pioneering with the pioneers, the Bank of Montreal recently opened a branch at Kitimat ... to provide banking facilities for the hundreds of Canadians already at work there. Canada's First Bank is proud of this opportunity to chalk up yet another 'first' in the service of Canada, its industries and its people. Bank of Montreal ROBERT W. BONNER ARTS '42, LAW '48, YOUNGEST ATTORNEY-GENERAL AT 31 By DON INGRAM, Arts '37 Attorney - General Robert William Bonner. Q.C., B.A., LL.B., is a modest, unassuming young man with what political writers like to call a brilliant future. A good many eyebrows in British Columbia shot skyward on August 1 when Premier W. A. C. Bennett, leading the province's first Social Credit govern- in e n t, announced that his attorney- general would be R. W. Bonner. They flew higher when their owners learned the new "A.-G." was just 31 years of age, and only four years out of law school. "Imagine!" said the old-line politicians, the political writers of British Columbia's greatest newspapers, and the rank and file of four major political parties. "Imagine a veritable legal stripling trying to fill the post of attorney-general!" He certainly had some brilliant predecessors. Lions of the law like Gordon Wismer and R. L. "Pat" Maitland had occupied the roomy office in the north-east corner of the main portion of the Parliament Buildings commanding a view of Victoria's beautiful Inner Harbor. T. D. Pattullo had the post for three months in 1937, having succeeded Chief Justice Gordon McG. Sloan on his elevation to the bench. Before him had been the brilliant R. H. Pooley. And now conies a young man—younger by far than a 35- year-old Gordon Sloan who held the juvenile age record for the position until then—considered hardly dry behind the ears in either politics or law. The experts expected chaos and confusion in one of the most important posts in the Cabinet, but said wisely that if the new attornev-general minded his business and did what he was told the government might manage to stagger along without too much disruption. So what happened? Absolutely nothing, until the young A.-G. suddenly burst out in September with a firm clutch on the liquor problem—the knottiest, most awkward, and completely uncomfortable situation to face a British Columbia government for years. Mr. Bonner announced that he had appointed a three- man commission, that has since won the plaudits of everyone for the merits of the individuals chosen, that would listen to the people then make recom mendations to the government on the best way to implement the June 12 plebiscite favoring liquor sale by the glass. On October 8 the commission held its first public hearing in Vancouver, and will continue until it feels it knows what the majority of British Columbians want in the field of liquor sale. Another nasty business was thrown in the lap of the young lawyer October 2 when a riot broke out in Oakalla Prison. On October 5 he had a chat with the prison warden, and by October 6 a temporary solution had been announced that will pave the way to a more permanent answer to the prison problem. With these two single actions the young Mr. Bonner proved to a good manv doubters that he was possessed of considerable legal ability plus the intestinal fortitude to meet a difficult issue face, to face and not waste time in solving it. The experts then began to look a little more closely at this young man. and found a man who, though not particularly rich in years, has plenty between the ears. He was born in Vancouver in September. 1920, was educated at Britannia High School, and was graduated from the Universitv of British Columbia in 1942. He did a full hitch with the Seaforth Highlanders in the Second World War. and fought with the famous kilted regiment through North Africa. Sicily and Italy. He was wounded October 3. 1943. At the end of hostilities he was discharged with the rank of major, and kept up his interest in the military life with service in the U.B.C. contingent of the C.O.T.C. in which he holds the rank of lieutenant-colonel and is now the unit's commandant. Home is still 4929 College Highroad, just a step from the campus, where his wife, the former Barbara Newman.

BELL-Manager OCTOBER-NOVEMBER, 1952 Page 7 VICTORIA COLLEGE CELE ANNIVERSARY OF FIRST CLA This fall marks the registration of the fiftieth class at Victoria College, and a special celebration was held to honour the members — all seven of them — of the first class which began in the fall of 1903. In addition, the College has prepared an attractively illustrated Fiftieth Anniversary brochure, a copy of which will be sent to any former student who requests it. The member of the original group best known to U.B.C. alumni is probably Prof. Emeritus F. G. C. Wood who has written a short historical piece for the brochure. Also included in the Class of 1903- '04 were Mr. J. B. Clearihue, Victoria lawyer, Rhodes Scholar, Chairman of the Victoria College Council and former U.B.C. Governor; Mr. .Clifford Rogers, President of the White Pass and Yukon Railway; Miss Sara Spencer, Victoria's Best Citizen of 1952, and others. All seven ex-students and Mrs. H. Esson Young and Miss Jeanette Cann, two of their teachers, plan a reunion in October during Thanksgiving week when the College will celebrate its Fiftieth Anniversary. A programme which included the opening of the new Ewing Building by the Hon. Mrs. Tilly Rolston, was held on Wednesday, October 15th. in the College Auditorium. Speakers marking the occasion included Dr. X. A. M. MacKenzie, Prof. Emeritus F. G. C. Wood, Mr. W. T. Straith, Prof. Emeritus Jeffree A. Cunningham. Mr. J. B. Clearihue, Dr. Willard Ireland, Mr. Neal Harlow and others. In the new Library Building a portrait was unvailed of the late Dr. J. M. Ewing, a former principal, after whom the building has been named. Dr. Willard Ireland, a Victoria College and U.B.C. graduate and Provincial Archivist, chaired this ceremony. The new Provincial Government building is in a modern style and houses attractive reading rooms (for both College and Normal School students), adequate stack space, administration and faculty offices and faculty lounge. To supply books for the new library and pay tribute to former College professors, the Victoria College Fiftieth Anniversary Library Fund has been established. Those to be so honoured are Prof. G. P. Black, Miss Jeanette A. Cann, Prof. Jeffree A. Cunningham, and the late Percy H. Elliott, Dr. J. M. Ewing, E. Stanley Farr, John Marr, Dr. E. B. Paul, E. Howard Russell, and Mme. E. Sanderson-Mongin. Contributions can be made in honour of any former professor or to the general fund. Former students and other friends may earmark their annual donations to the Alumni- UBC Development Fund for this worthwhile purpose, or may donate directly to the Victoria College Library Fund. The objective is $5,000.00. All books bought through this plan will be inscribed with specially designed bookplates. U.B.C. has always enjoyed a close affiliation with Victoria College through the stream of ex- College students entering the Point Grey Campus each year and through its formal affiliation. And, as well, a continuing association is maintained through the College Faculty members (and their wives), many of whom are U.B.C. graduates. The new Ewing Building at Victoria College opened October IT, by the Honourable Mrs. Tilly Rolston Page 8 U.B.C. ALUMNI CHRONICLE B RATES 50th SS OF SEVEN Dr. W. Harry Hickman, Arts '30, the principal of Victoria College and former winner of the French Government Scholarship. Dr. W. Harry Hickman, newly - appointed Principal of Victoria College, led the Graduating Class of 1930, and won the French Government Scholarship allowing him a year's study at the Sorbonne. In 1933. his wife (then Grace Parkinson) repeated his achievement, and also spent a year in Paris. Other members of the Faculty and Staff who are U.B.C. graduates include Dorothy M. Cruick- shank (1929), Robert T. D. Wallace and Lewis J. Clark (1932), Gwladys V. Downes (1934). Phoebe Noble and Rodnev P. D. Poisson (1935), Svdney G. Pettit and Phvllis Baxendale (1936). W.~ Gordon Fields (1937), Roger J. Bishop (1938), William H. Gaddes and Charles H. Howatson (1939), Eileen Lee Gidney (1946), Winona J. Bethune (1947), and Philip A. Morris (1948). All of these people have pursued graduate work either at U.B.C. or elsewhere bringing recognition to themselves, the College and their Alma Mater, U.B.C. WE WERE SEVEN (Reprinted from 50th Anniversary Brochure) When "McGill University College of British Columbia situated at Victoria" opened its first session in the fall of 1903, it was not because the seven students enrolled were clamoring for higher education. Somewhat younger than the average freshman class of latter times, we were rather vague about the idea of going on eventually to McGill or Toronto—remote institutions five days of weary travel to the east. However, because the school trustees of the capital city viewed with concern the existence of a similar branch of McGill in that twenty-year-old, upstart town of Vancouver, Victoria College came into being and some seven innocents placed themselves in the way of being regarded as pioneers some forty-nine years later. If that first year was one of hardship, we did not realize it. Impressed with the novelty of being college students, we worked reasonably well to meet the standards of our esteemed instructors. In addition to their duties as senior teachers in Victoria High School, Miss Rosalind Watson, together with the late Dr. E. B. Paul, A. J. Pineo, E."H. Russell and Dr. S. J. Willis, cheerfully took on the burden of new courses. When, towards the end of the term. Miss Watson left to become Mrs. H. E. Young, her successor was Miss J. A. Cann. Three of us passed, without supplementals, the examinations set and marked by McGill authorities, and two of this trio later completed their courses in Montreal. CRAIGDARRDCH Instructors were hot all we shared witli high school students. Although we had none of our own, we used the classrooms of the recently finished brick building at the corner of Fernvvood Road and Fort Street. Across the way, behind its stone fence and iron gates, that curious pile, Craigdarroch, loomed above us without a hint of the part it was later to play in the history of Victoria College. The principal's office was the scene of our classes with him and also served as a library where all of the half dozen reference books devoted to our needs were kept. In sport, too, we were dependent upon the high school athletic groups. With their aid. men's and women's gra-s hockey teams played league games at home. and. once a year, went on a colorful trip, via the E. and N. Railway, to Nanaimo. Even our social life was not entirely of our own making. Seven is hardly a magic number for a party and so our friends in the matriculation class were added to our list. As dancing was deemed a wicked pastime by some of the trustees of the time, our parties were held at our own homes and restricted to the innocent pleasures of guessing games and parcheesi. 1903-1952. How times have changed! —F. G. C. Wood. OCTOBER-NOVEMBER, 1952 Page 9 or There's no restriction on the variety of careers that U.B.C.'s graduates can carve out for them selves, but Peter Cotton, ex - army captain and D.V.A. student is the first to successfully enter the field of professional design. While still a student in the School of! Architecture. Cotton! began experimenting] with a few simple J designs for tables] and chairs, using! wrought-iron, glass and laminated woods. It wasn't long before friends visiting his basement suite began to eye the furnishings with a view to their own needs. Production was on. By the time he left U.B.C. those first models had become the prototypes for an extensive line of contemporary furnishings which he and his associates PETER COTTON Mfl in Perpetua Furniture are developing for Canadian homes. The technical training he received as an architect is useful to Peter Cotton as a designer. A knowledge of strength of materials enables him to use the most economical minimum for strength and elegance. But fundamentally it is his intimate knowledge of the contemporary house and its needs which most influences his designs. They are stripped of superfluous bulk because today's houte is smaller and every item of furniture must give maximum service in minimum space. Slender frames, translucent table-tops, delicate proportions, all help to make the smaller room seem larger both to the eye and in actual use. Moreover his designs look well in the modern house. Although many houses of good contemporary design are being built today, few of their owners are able to furnish in equivalent style. Most of the furniture offered up as modern is the usual over-stuffed and bulky traditional jazzed up with a few modern mannerisms. Peter himself observes, "A lot of contemporary furniture attempts to look smart but fails through misuse of materials. Excess wood is often applied just to give a 'modern' effect. Much existing furniture is badly proportioned. The manufacturer seems to have no understanding of the formal qualities of mass, line, texture and pro- TOPS IN B.C.

But providing beautiful furniture within the range of the average customer is not a small time business. Only some method of quantity production can realize this ideal. Meanwhile Cotton and his partners, along with a handful of other designers across Canada continue to produce and to hope that the attention paid to their work by the Canadian Design Index, Canadian Homes and Gardens and other publications will make both the Canadian public and the Canadian manufacturers aware that the designing talent they need to resolve today's furnishing problems is right on their doorstep. —RENE BOUX Curator of the University I.O.D.E.

MEN'S RESIDENCE FURNISHING FUND During the Winter Session of 1951-52 the Councils of Fort and Acadia Camps were asked by Professor Geof Andrew to submit their suggestions in regard to permanent housing for men on the campus. The following suggestions were made: that the dormitories be located near the Memorial Gymnasium, and the construction of this housing be instituted as soon as possible. In early April of 1952 a committee was formed at Fort Camp to investigate and inaugurate a fund for furnishing these dorms. The committee was composed of Mr. John Pousette, Law '52 and Mr. Roy Sadler, President Elect of Fort Camp, together with the writer. John and Roy consulted with Mr. Kennedy of the Faculty of Law and a trust fund was set up. The Board of Governors gave their approval and the members of Fort and Acadia camps, graduating this Spring were asked to leave their ten dol lar caution deposit. Many of them did so. But much more money is needed. We are now asking alumni in general atid former residents of Fort and Acadia in particular to get behind this fund by contributing to the Alumni U.B.C. Development Fund earmarked to the Men's Residence Furnishing Fund. Such contributions are exempt from income tax and are counted as alumni fees. So let's have your contributions, RIGHT NOW!

ALUMNI CHRONICLE Friends of the Library Faraway and long ago, in the days of the Fair- view Campus, it was a privilege for some of us to spend many happy hours exploring the books in the library stacks. This was a rich experience at the time and has been a source of pleasant memories since. I suspect that during the intervening thirty years many others upon graduation from U.B.C. have carried away the same affectionate esteem and high regard for the University Library as I did. And perhaps the successful growth of the University of British Columbia, like that of the great universities in the past, has been clue in large part to the fortunate association of a competent faculty with a fine library. Not only is the Library important to the University, but it is also important to all the people of British Columbia and to the full development of their province. And, of course, through the University budget, the people provide, and will continue to do so, it's main financial support. However, many of the great university libraries in the world depend upon the private support of their effection- ate and munificent friends for an added or supplementary richness to the scope of their basis archives. An example of such support is that furnished by the Friends of The Bodleian in Oxford, England. This group is composed of Oxonians and others (not Oxonians) from various parts of the world who are friendly supporters of the Bodleian. The principal qualification is merely an interest in the library. Although the individual financial support is not usually large, the Friends of The Bodleian have been instrumental in adding further literary treasure to archives already rich beyond the dreams of most university libraries. In addition, the moral support generated by such an active interest also encourages those responsible for the continued welfare of the Bodleian Library. It would seem that the same opportunity exists for helping the library at U.B.C. as for helping the Bodleian at Oxford. U.B.C. is not without its valuable opportunities, provided broad interest and supplementary financial support are available. It seems hardly an overstatement to say that the need of the library at U.B.C. is a s great as that of the Bodleian at Oxford. The Friends of The Bodleian is not a highly formal organization, but it does some effective work in a quietly informal manner. It would be interesting to know what general sentiment exists among U.B.C. alumni and friends of the University for supporting an activity at U.B.C. such as that outlined above. If the interest is sufficiently broad, perhaps the necessary formalization can be completed along proper lines, and in cooperation with the university authorities, by those interested and living in Vancouver or its vicinity. As a friend of the U.B.C. Library, I would certainly give such an activity my full support.

ALUMNI CHRONICLE ft PERSONALITIES ft At press time, word had just been received that Jimmy Sinclair, U.B.C. Rhodes Scholar and member of parliament for Coast-Capilano, had been elevated to a member of the Canadian Cabinet as Minister for Fisheries. The 44-year-old Sinclair had been mentioned as cabinet material for several years, but had recently sold his home in Ottawa and speculation was that he was quitting politics. Lawyers have been inveigling their way into the pages of the Chronicle in their inimitable fashion the past couple of issues but we are forced to run a sequence to follow the picture and note on William H. Q. Cameron, B.A. '33 which ran in June ... it turns out that Bill Cameron's opponent in what might be the last appeal to the Privy Council was none other than his good friend Harry F. C. Spring, who was the counsel for the appellant in the case of Sigurdson -v- B.C. Electric ... In the last issue we mentioned Bill Cameron, but neglected to say a word about Harry Spring . . . and Harry won the case at that. Hugh Christie, new warden at Oakalla, was faced with a prison riot this month and came through handling the matter like a veteran . . . but Warden Christie who had warned the Provincial Government of the overcrowded situation at Oakalla, advised there would be more trouble unless the prisoners accommodation was improved. Enrolled on a four year course at U.B.C. is Lee Jung Ok, Korean interpreter with the Princess Pats for two years in Korea . . . Canadian arm]? officers who brought Lee to Canada are paying his tuition fees. Among the new Canadian diplomats is a University of B.C. graduate, Vivienne Allen of Vancouver, who recently passed civil service examinations along with 23 other successful candidates.

OCTOBER-NOVEMBER, 1952 Page 15 ALUMNI - U. B. C DEVELOPMENT FUND REACHES NEW HIGH OF $18,109.36 Under Chairman Harry A. Berry, the Alumni- U.B.C. Development Fund has reached new peaks in both participation and total amount subscribed— a record-breaking-result which reflects great credit not only upon Fund Directors and representatives, but also on the active interest and tangible expression of loyalty and support of U.B.C. alumni and friends everywhere. In 1952 (the Fund books close early on August 31st), almost 2,200 individuals contributed $18,- 109.36 in this fourth year of operation of the Association's voluntary annual giving programme designed to help U.B.C. and its students in a practical way. In those four years, a total of some $63,000.00 has been given—an annual income which more than equals the income available from an Endowment of more than a half-million dollars! Probably the most remarkable and heartening feature of the past year's effort is the fact that there has been an almost 25% increase in over-all participation compared to the best previous year—1950. There can be no doubt that in the long run, the number of people who are interested enough to become UBC "shareholders" through personal contributions—regardless of the amount—must be the yardstick by which the success of this excellent idea is measured. Elsewhere in this issue, the actual records established by the various classes and individual Class and Fund representatives will be seen. The "up" totals of almost every class, together with the fine efforts of so many reps., is indicative of the superb way in which this plan of practical goodwill is proving its worth. MEMORIAL FOR DOROTHY MYERS It is felt by some of the late Dorothy Myers' friends that there should be a memorial in her memory. Because of her interest in University women's affairs and also in Canadian art, a suggestion has come forth that a picture by a Canadian artist be hung in the Women's Residences of the University. A plaque suitably inscribed would mark such a picture. Anyone wishing to be a part of such a memorial could contact Miss Mary Fallis, No. 1, 3777 Cambie, Vancouver, B.C., FAirmont 5987-L; Mrs. C. D. Schultz, 6092 Wiltshire St., Vancouver 13, B.C., KErrisdale 7486-L, or Alumni Director Frank J. E. Turner, ALma 3044. THE QUARTERBACKS CLUB As valiant warriors orter, Each fan screamed off his head.

MARGARET BRUNETTE It's almost homecoming time of the year when all good old grads go back to the campus to see how things have progressed since they left. There are more buildings, a new coat of paint on the Aggie barns, new sloping lawns and well-kept flowerbeds—and less students. * * * For all the sorority alumnae who haven't heard about the change in rushing rules—there's been quite a revolution in that department. This year rushing was held for just one week—September 15 to 23 so that all the fuss and bother was over and done with before classes began. Seems an excellent idea. But not like the good old clays when there was an excuse to skip lectures and quaff coffee the first month of University! Barbara Newman Bonner has been caught up in a giddy whirl since her husband, Bob, was appointed the new Attorney-General. At present they're house-hunting in Victoria and feeling just a little sad about having to leave their year-old home in the University District. Barbara graduated in Arts in 1944. She'd planned on going into Teachers Training but decided to get married in third year instead. She was an assistant editor on the Ubyssey for awhile and was a member of Alphi Phi sorority.

Roberts, one of the original group which staged the "Great Trek" of 1922, was this year's speaker at the annual Cairn ceremony on the Main Mall. Mr. Roberts urged U.B.C. freshmen to meet challenges presented to them at University with the same characteristics of students who participated in the march that took them in 1922 from the Fairview shacks to the present campus. He told how the cairn, built with the original stones piled up in a mound by the first group of UBC students to visit the campus, was now a symbol of what university students can do when properly organized. He said the trek was from the Fairview Shacks to downtown Vancouver and out to Point Grev. Later student leaders carried a 56,000-signature petition to Victoria, where delegation leader "Ab" Richards told legislators the Fairview Shacks were inadequate and urged a new start on the war-interrupted Point Grey site. One month later, Mr. Roberts said, the Legislature voted more than $1,000,000 to the university building program. The chemistry building went up first, followed by others. Construction of UBC buildings started in 1914 but just as the framework of the Science building was nearly completed, war stopped work on the structure. Nothing more was done at all, he said, until the provincial government was spurred into action by the campaign started by UBC students. U. B. C. Alumni Association Scholarship Winners An announcement from the University of B.C. revealed Kelowna's 1952 "Lady of the Lake" as a girl who combines beauty with brains.

B. C. ALUMNI CHRONICLE FRANKLY SPEAKING Just forty years ago, the "Founders" gathered together at U.B.C.'s first Convocation meeting in the Assembly Hall of the still-standing South Park Public School in Victoria—August 21st, 1912, to be exact. The tremendous significance of that historic occasion should never be minimized now or in the future—nor ever forgotten. With the then-Provincial Secretary, the late Hon. H. E. Young, M.D., LL.D., as chairman (platform guests included the Lieut-Governor, the Hon. T. W. Paterson, and Premier Sir Richard McBride), the original members of Convocation officially "launched" U.B.C. by electing the first Chancellor, the Hon. F. L. Carter Cotton, and members of the Senate. "GREAT TREK" Just thirty years ago. UBC's students wound up a remarkable campaign with the now-famous "Great Trek" to the chosen Universitv site at Point Grey, and threw the rocks and stones i picked up en route) into a pile which is today the family Cairn on the Main Mall—the same Cairn which has become of a symbol of student spirt, determination and faith, and a constant challenge to all members of U.B.C.'s "family." Success crowned the efforts of interested University-trained men and women in the founding of this young and growing institution. Solid achievement was the result of the activities of enterprising students a decade later in moving to the present beautiful campus. The continuing understanding, initiative and support of students, alumni, faculty, friends and subsequent Governments has contributed tremendously to the amazing development of our Alma Mater—an University young in years but old in tradition. U.B.C.'s motto: "Tuum Est"—literally translated two ways: "It Is Yours" and "It's Up To You" is a ringing challenge which has been, is and will be boldly accepted. Alumnotes . . .

ALUMNI CHRONICLE The Fiiner Thjegrs Are a Most By PHOEBE BEEBE, B.A. (frequent contributor to Canadian Homes, North American Tomes, South American Pomes, etc) The Finer Things in Life! (I am not referring to Life Magazine.) Let us roll the phrase richly round our lips and even inside our mouths. We leave the University with a capital U, but what does it mean, question mark? It means a B.A., exclamation mark! Nothing more. Can we interpret a symphony? No (Period) Dare we live with a modern painting and permit it to enrich our lives? Never. We (and I use this pronoun in the singular) do not even own a Canadian painting at all, dammit. And we think shame to ourselves, as the phrase goes. As it goes, as it comes, as it slides sideways, who cares? That's my whole point, and that's why the Extension Dept. pays me. (Out of the funds it extracts from its pup;ls, never forget that.) LETTER DF APPRECIATION By the way. old Phoebe has never had a letter of appreciation from the Extension Dept. All she's had is letters appreciating the Extension Dept. Lord)' (and she says this reverently, men), Lordy, she doesn't expect the Extension Dept. to think of everything. Which is wrong of Little Phoebe, at that, because the Extension Dept. does so think of everything . . . heck, it even gives courses in How to Repair Trucks Before They (Juit Running. But to get back to the Finer Things. What profiteth it a man that he should get a B.A. but not get to the Symphony or the Art Gallery. Nowt. I will spell that . . . N-O-W-T. Nix. Zero. It leaves him feeling bereft and just awful, as if he were suddenly caught between a professor of Art and a professor of Appreciation. It makes him feel he is missing one of life's Finer Experiences. And may the Lord pity him. How often have you, clear reader, been caught in an art gallery with your awareness uncocked? How many times has a beautiful symphony gone in one ear and out the other? Many's the time you have listened to a costly phonograph record, carefully explained to you by an expert, and you've not understood what made its grooves go round, shame on you. Records! Let it be recorded! Recorditur (Latin). You may glibly say "Recorditur!" but in all modesty, can you tell the difference between the records you should like and those you should abominate? Not you. You're fair flummoxed. That's because you have never taken an extension course. And that's what's wrong with our B.A. today. A bachelor's degree that doesn't incorporate an ex- tesion with it is of little use. I will go further. I maintain that a bachelor's degree should carry with it an honorary LL.D. Heck, with everyone else getting LL.D.'s, why should the students themselves stand out in this ignomiuous way? In any true democracy, each student should become an LL.D. the minute he enrolls, and this will keep him from feeling1 conspicuous. I have always felt that an honarary LL.D. is just the thing to make its owner conscious of the finer things in himself, and therefore conscious of the liner things in life, in so far as he is still connected with life itself, which is a moot enough point. I am acquainted with many an LL.D. who has suddenly started hanging round the Art Gallery and the Symphony Society in a manner to touch all hearts. Only last week I was prowling round the Art Gallery (humming a couple of symphonies to myself the while) when I met a poor old LL.D. out of work. He was not onlv out of work, but out of works of art. He faced me squarely and said "Brother, can you spare a work of art?" 1 burst into tears, which seemed to please him a lot. There is a lesson here for us all, so please accept a free copy. I am quite sure that the P.-T.A. can help our children to make each other fond of great music and notorious paintings. Instead of telling each other dirt_\- limericks, teachers and parents can go in for square-dancing, and in some mysterious way this will make their chidren fond of Giotto and the School of Sienna, which is a good thing. It will also make the little rascals fond of Brahms, which is a bad thing. ( Brahms wrote a few good songs, but we aren't speaking of those. We are speaking of his orchestral works, which is another wav of saying we aren't speaking of anything.) But the most important thing 1 plan to bring up at the next P.-T.A. meeting is this: just what are we doing in the way of interpreting symphonies in terms of French painting? Almost nothing. And our children are jeering at us for it. They're scoffing, no less. This is what makes them wear zoot- suits. ft makes them despair in other ways, too. The Dept. of Social Worries is frightfully worried about it. And there's no use in saying it is paid to worry. That's dodging the issue entirelv. It makes our children jeer all over again. And when they jeer too much the)- get monotonous, damn them, because we have deprived them of a finer way of jeering. It's all our fault. It always is.

While in Victoria he eats and sleeps at the swank Union Club near the Empress Hotel and Parliament Buildings, but spends most of his time in his office. He is a member of .Delta Upsilon, Gyro, the U.B.C". Alumni Association, and follows the Anglican faith. Until his appointment he belonged to the legal firm of Clark, Wilson, White, Clark and Maguire in Vancouver. When he has some spare time he dabbles in photography, but it is hobby of political science that has probably had the most bearing in placing him in the position he now holds. Until tlrs year his political leanings were Conservative, and he championed Premier Bennett in his effort to wrest the Conservative leadership in British Columbia from Herbert Anscomb. He became a Social Creditor, and when Premier Bennett begf.n to choose his cabinet he remembered the personable young Vancouver lawyer who had proved his loyalty earlier. The Premier took a chance on Bonner's vouth not being a handicap, and he has never regretted the choice. It was typical of the man that he admitted at the start that he knew little of the job, but was willing to learn. All the Social Credit ministers put in long hours on the job but none any longer than Bol) Bonner. He is at his office early in the morning—well before 8:30—and is still there late at night. He would be the first to say that he does not know everything of the job yet, but he certainly knows a lot more than he did on August 1. and shows every indication of having it completely under control in the time the experts gave him to find his way from the Union Club to his office. At this stage he is still cautious, playing his cards close to his chest and saying very little to anyone about his work. He likes to keep even routine matters out of the public eye, and prefers his staff to be not too talkative about the work of the department. He has won considerable solid acclaim since his appointment but the highest compliment of all came from an experienced observer at the Parliament Buildings: "He appears to be a man who can act quickly when he has to, and who lives up to his promises."
