THE UNIVERSITY ^/BRITISH COLUMBIA GRADUATE CHRONICLE Editor: Isobel Harvey Assistant Editors: Anne Margaret Angus Joyce Hallamore Evelyn Lett W. H. Harvey DEDICATION To the memory of KATHLEEN PECK LAWRENCE one of the University's most loyal daughters, in whose mind the idea of the Graduate Chronicle was first conceived, and by whose enthusiasm and work what success the magazine obtained was to a large extent due, this number is dedicated by her friends, the members of the Publications Board. A MESSAGE TO THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION ^-5 zTLLOW me to take this opportunity of calling the attention of all members of Convocation to the new responsibilities which the Legislature of the Province has placed on their shoulders. Since the earliest years of the University it has been their duty to choose the Chancellor and fifteen members of the University Senate. In the future they will be given, through the Senate, a substantial representation on the Board of Governors. In this way the graduates of the University will be called on to play their part in guiding its policy and will be encouraged to make their interest in the affairs of the University something which will last through life; while the institution, in its turn, will benefit from the vigilant guidance of the men and women who are the natural guardians of higher education in British Columbia. EDITORIAL /'VA/f ANY members of the Alumni Association will be surprised, and, we hope, pleased to receive a Graduate Chronicle after a two-year silence. Their state of mind, however, is placid compared to that of the Alumni Executive and the Editorial Board. For the last eight months the prospects of publication were so uncertain that those responsible can scarcely believe yet that their objective has been achieved. We are glad to be able to publish as a foreword to this number of the Graduate Chronicle an extract from the message sent by Dr. Weir, Minister of Education, to the members of Convocation on the occasion of the Convocation dinner, May 9, 1935. We feel that Dr. Weir's words should be read and taken to heart by our readers. We, as members of the Alumni Association, have been in the habit of saying that we carry no weight in forming the actual policies of the University. The new Act is a challenge to the reality of our interest in our Alma Mater. Members of the Alumni Association will also read with much interest the contribution from the pen of Dr. Harris, one of our own members and a member of the legislative body of the province. We hope that you will be pleased with the Chronicle. We realize its deficiencies but we trust that these will not spoil for you the real value of the magazine. We are sure that a great many of the facts set forth in the last section are misleading, to say the least, but we feel that this should teach you the value of keeping in touch with your class representative, who is responsible for the information received regarding each class. The mailing list still leaves a lot to be desired as far as accuracy is concerned. Please remember to send changes of address to the Records Secretary. With these few remarks and the usual apologies we launch into our customary commentary on the finances of the Alumni Association. There are now in the neighbourhood of three thousand graduates, but it has taken the concentrated effort of the Executive and Class Representatives to raise two hundred dollars by means of fees so that the Chronicle might be published. The Chronicle costs more than two hundred dollars, but we are trusting that those who receive a copy will suffer from pangs of conscience until they mail their dollar, or, better, their ten-dollar life membership fee. If they don't, there will not be a Chronicle for another few years. Seriously speaking, we cannot produce a good publication with any regularity unless we are assured of a certain amount of financial support. At present, we start the year by collecting material; then we realize there is a deficit, and we hold committee meetings on ways and means. For two years we were unable to cope with the financial problem, and could not publish. This year, because of the work of a few people, we are taking a chance. If those who could afford it would pay their life memberships, and the others would send on their dollars to the Alumni Treasurer, care of the Registrar's Office, early in the year, we could produce a publication worth having. The uncertainty prevents us from doing good work for you and you from helping us with your contributions. If you think it is worth while for the Alumni to have a magazine: if you think it is of value to the University that the Alumni should have one place where the opinions of members from all over the world can be aired, then back us up so that next year we can bring out a better magazine. And that brings us to the reason why we should be thinking already of next year's Chronicle. In 1936, the University comes of age. Think of that, those of you who gathered in the classrooms in Fairview in September, 1915, and congratulated yourselves that at last the University of British Columbia was an accomplished fact. The University is twenty-one next year, and we are going to make a special celebration which the graduates in Vancouver will enjoy. But the graduates in Vancouver are only a small part of the Association, and we want to have the best publication we have ever issued to send to every member. We want suggestions now as to articles; we want news of as many graduates as possible; we want contributions of all kinds. The Coming- of-Age Graduate Chronicle—Tuum est. Q^^D ANNUAL MEETING The Annual Meeting of the Alumni Association will probably be held about October 4th. Members are asked to watch the press for the announcement, as funds will not allow of mailed notices. Six The University of British Columbia ALUMNI ASSOCIATION OF U. B. C.

Few changes have been required during the past twenty years to ensure smoothness and efficiency in the conduct of University affairs. Under the Act, the Board of Governors, with the exception of the Chancellor and the President, consisted of appointees of the Government of the day. The policy of the Government has been to appoint men and women of distinction in the community, and with few exceptions regardless of political affiliations. To these distinguished members of the Board, the University owes a debt of gratitude. They have served faithfully and diligently and given un- stintingly of their time and ability to the business affairs of the institution. They have piloted the ship skillfully through the menacing shoals which so frequently threatened shipwreck after the launching in the troublous waters of 1915. The Board administers finances, the Senate, an elective body for the most part, is responsible for academic policy. One weakness in the Act has in the course of twenty years become apparent. There has been a lack of co-ordination between the functions of the Board in its administrative capacity, and those of the Senate as the body responsible for the formulation of academic policy. The amendment of this year endeavors to eliminate this weakness. It provides for a Board of Governors, equal in number to the former Board. The Chancellor and President remain members ex-officio. But instead of requiring the Government of the day to appoint nine Governors, the Government will now appoint six. The remaining three will be elected by the Senate from among its members. The three so elected will hold office only so long as they remain members of Senate, and in any event for not more than six consecutive years. During their tenure of office they, like the Chancellor and the President, will be members of both governing bodies. A further amendment provides that no one is eligible for appointment or election to the Board of Governors if he is on the payroll of the University in any capacity. This interdicts Faculty Members of Senate from election to the Board. The result should be a closer co-ordination of the policies of the Board and Senate than heretofore, and a more intimate knowledge of the activities of the University's left-hand with those of its right. As the University Alumni are responsible for the selection of 15 Convocation representatives to the Senate, this amendment in effect places a much greater re ponsibility upon the graduates. In selecting their Senate representation they must bear in mind that they will also be selecting potential Governors. The increased privilege is, as usual, accompanied by an enlarged responsibility. It is to be hoped that the graduates will exercise their powers wisely and with discrimination. No change has yet (mid-July) been made, but it is expected that Senate's election to the Board will be made shortly, and the Government's appointments will be announced at an early date. Two other amendments are of interest: (1) Chancellors, after the present beloved incumbent, Dr. R. E. McKechnie, may not hold office for more than six consecutive years; (2) The British Columbia Teachers' Federation is to have the right to elect one Senator. The beneficial effect of these amendments is apparent and requires no comment. The Faculty Council is increased by the addition of four members from each Faculty, and certain new disciplinary and other powers are vested in it. The Minister of Education and the Superintendent Eight The University of British Columbia cease to be ex-officio members of Senate according to another section of the Amending Act. With the increase of graduates in numbers and discretion bred of experience, it is to be hoped that the responsibilities imposed upon them by the amendments will be thoroughly carried out, and that Alumni will in future be stimulated to take a deeper interest in the maintenance and welfare of the University and its governing bodies. SCIENCE, THE FAIRY GODMOTHER OF OUR FUTURE By J. Allen Harris, M.A., Ph.D., M.L.A. |N Science of November, 1934, there -*- appears an article, part of which will serve admirably as an introduction to the few ideas which I would like to present regarding the development of the natural resources of British Columbia. I quote: "As gunpowder disrupted the seemingly impregnable alliance of kings, barons, and bishops which sustained the feudal system; just as the machine inaugurated the industrial revolution which opened up such vast resources for production, so chemistry is moving the foundation of our present system. This chemical revolution will bring lower costs, a growing multitude of new products, and the increasing replacement of familiar wares by superior synthetic articles. The Chemical Revolution will make possible greater and broader consumption which will enable us to transcend splendidly the progress of the past century." In other words, the present time marks the beginning of a transition from the use of materials extracted out of nature, to materials constructed by men, since man has not obtained full control over nature until he can produce materials with the properties he desires, instead of doing the best he can with the materials that are already here. For many years this control has been gradually extended, but the advances made during the last twenty years have been so rapid and far reaching in their effect that it is not surprising that an economic disaster has overtaken the world. In European countries, and particularly in Germany, since these were domains of limited natural resources, emphasis for many years has been placed on Science, and particularly that basic Science, chemistry. The inevitable day came when aspiring youth from England and America went to sit at the feet of Germany's leading men of Science. Of course, progress was going on elsewhere, and education was advancing. We in North America were primarily engaged in the subjugation of a vast new territory of what then appeared to be apparently inexhaustible natural resources. True, we have had our outstanding men of science, but they were tolerated rather than supported, because then Science was not Canada's or America's problem. Technological improvements were of more consideration than laboratory technique. Even during the late war this country never had to realize what it meant to be cut off from basic materials, or to feel the pinch of an inadequate food supply. Not so with Europe, where they have been developing new laboratory processes in a determined effort to become as self- sustaining as is humanly possible. Speaking a few years ago to a group of fellow industrialists in the United States, Mr. A. D. Little made the following statement: "Manufacturers in this country understand some things, and what they understand they are quick to seize upon and make the most of—provided always that they can use it in their business. But they rarely understand Chemistry, and in proportion to their ignorance of it they resent the suggestion that the chemist can teach them anything about their business. Graduate Chronicle—July, 1935 Nine Their attitude is reflected in that of their subordinates, which is commonly one of militant skepticism. They, like their masters, deliberately cut themselves off from that great co-ordinated and organized body of knowledge brought together by thousands of highly trained minds through the incessant questioning of nature during more than a hundred years. Thus they often pay less regard to the laws of nature than they do to city ordinances. When under these conditions they have failed to make a satisfactory profit in competition with a more enlightened Europe they have dashed off to Washington (and, I may add, Ottawa) to try to jack up the tariffs, when they should realize that research, which they ignore, offers them a better protection than any rate of duty." In North America at the present time there are more than 200,000 corporations engaged in manufacturing, mining, transportation, and various other pursuits, representing investments of some 330 billions of dollars, and normally employing millions of men. And yet there is not one of these corporations that is not constantly in danger of being scrapped overnight, unless the executives are wise enough or cautious enough to anticipate changes by keeping in touch with scientific progress. Although Science always replaces an industry with a better one, it does not guarantee that it will be in the same place, or even in the same country. It is for this reason that scientific progress should be of concern to governmental bodies in the various countries. The discovery of synthetic dyes moved that industry from England to Germany, with subsequent unemployment in one, and increased employment in the other. At the same time some l1/^ million acres devoted to the growing of indigo in India were allowed to revert to their natural state. Prior to the World War, Chile supplied the world with nitrate, so essential for agriculture and explosives. By the simple expedient of placing a heavy export tax on this commodity the Chilean Government had a splendid source of revenue. In 1914 the Haber process of nitrogen fixation made it possible to produce nitrates in any quantity from the air—the Chilean monopoly was broken. One by one we have witnessed the replacement of natural products by synthetic ones—camphor, silk, solvents, resins, and lacquers — an endless procession. Since the war, European countries have been striving to make themselves independent of all foreign supplies —the result has been the possible commercial production of oil and gasoline from coal, sugars from wood, and rubber from acetylene gas, a coal product. Iron and steel are giving way before the onslaughts of the new light metals aluminum and beryllium, and the synthetic plastics, such as Bakelite (a coal product). Only the heavy investments in old processes prevent a more rapid adoption. In this new age we may well ask ourselves, "What are the materials of the future?" And I think we can safely answer, wood, coal, light metals, and abundant waterpower. At the present time, however, we find that the coal industry is in a precarious condition, due largely to the competition it has met with as a source of power from oil and electricity. The lumber industry has not as yet been so seriously affected; it is, nevertheless, meeting with increasing competition, as building material, from many sources. It was recently announced that if carbolic acid could be produced at one-half its present cost (and it will be), that bakelite will displace every foot of hard wood now being used. The demand for wood pulp is also bound to diminish as countries that formerly had to import this commodity are finding means of manufacturing newsprint from native shrubs, etc. On the other hand, the number of products being made from wood and coal is rapidly increasing, but unfortunately not in Western Canada. The demand for Ten The University of British Columbia aluminum has increased at a staggering rate, with most countries concentrating on the production of this metal. When one considers that practically all rolling stock on this continent is hopelessly out of date from a scientific standpoint, that our freights still consist of 1/4 pounds of train for every ]/2 pound of freight, and that as examples of side- wabbling, wind-resisting atrocities they will one day be exhibited in the national museums as examples of lack of scientific engineering principles of the early 20th century, one can visualize the demand that must come for aluminum when all rolling stock becomes light and streamlined. Since 1923 some 2258 cars and locomotives have been built with aluminum applications, and of these 995 are in service in the railroads, and 1263 in street and rapid transit railways. Between them they have engineered the elimination of 1,300,000,000 ton-miles of deadweight. All trains, busses, and cars will be eventually of aluminum construction. Again, considering the millions of dollars annually lost through the rusting of iron, the new age will see every bridge replaced with these light alloy spans. Artificial rubber is well on its way to displacing natural rubber for many purposes — and since it has recently been announced that the structure of the rubber molecule has been determined, we can confidently expect in the near future the production of "synthetic" rubber. The production of artificial silk made from wood fibre has developed enormously, and it is interesting to note that of all the textile fibres only the use of artificial silk has increased during the past ten years. Other wood products finding a ready market are Duco and Cellophane. Thus, while the old uses for wood and coal are rapidly diminishing, new products are being developed daily to such an extent that J. D. Bernal of Cambridge University, writing in a recent issue of Harper's Magazine, remarks: "Ultimately the coal reserves of the country may become its main source of food." In view, therefore, of what has taken place, and is still taking place in other countries—and realizing the possible detrimental effects that new processes and products are going to have on our economic life, it behooves us to examine very carefully the situation that confronts us in British Columbia. It seems to me that we have two alternatives, either: 1. To continue as we are now doing, living off our natural resources, which are not only diminishing in volume, but also in market value in their raw state—or, 2. To realize that British Columbia is perhaps one of the most favoured spots in the world to take advantage of the coming Chemical Age, and build up an industrialized province. To continue as at present means that less and less will British Columbia be able to maintain its present meagre population, with its seasonal employment of logging, fishing, agriculture, etc. The other alternative offers such boundless opportunities that it is difficult to see how anyone can be other than enthusiastic. With the millions of the Far East as potential customers, we are in an ideal situation if we care to take advantage of it. If we are not careful, however, we will find that the Far East has forestalled us—as already Japan is buying our raw materials and selling them back to us as finished products. The parlous state of British Columbia's finances naturally precludes the possibility of the Province subsidizing chemical industry on a large scale. Meantime, however, I believe that the governments, taking a long range view, could reorganize themselves to meet 20th century conditions. I am convinced that in the light of scientific advance a new department will have to be added to all governments, Graduate Chronicle—July, 1935 Eleven namely, a department of science, or in British Columbia I would propose a Department of Natural Resources. Obviously, this cannot be a separate department, acting independently of other departments. I would suggest that the Departments of Mines, Fisheries, Forestry, Agriculture, and Industries, be made sub-departments of the Department of Natural Resources — looking after administrative work only. Advising the Minister of Natural Resources I would suggest an advisory committee of several leading scientists, not civil servants or permanent employees, but men borrowed from industry and the University. They would be able to advise the Minister on new technological advances being made in other countries, and thus be able to warn our own industries, in advance, of impending disaster. More important, they would correlate all research in all sub-departments so that a unified attack be made on all fronts, instead of the individual skirmishes now taking place in the various departments with obvious overlapping of effort. This Department would supervise and finance the research departments of the University, which at present are being starved to death, so that the Department of Education would be free to look after teaching activities only. Above all, they would be able to encourage private interests to co-operate in the financing of research into the possibilities of building up new industries. Until such reorganization is possible, I believe it to be of primary importance that a Provincial Industrial Research Institute be formed — to look into the possibilities of developing our province intelligently. I have already had plenty of assurances that private endowments would be forthcoming for any such scheme. The initial cost of starting such an institute would be far less than whr.t it often costs to send trade missions abroad —and the value of industrial research can be clearly demonstrated if one cares to visit that marvellous result of intelligence and faith in Science known as the Trail Smelter. As a beginning, I would suggest the appointing of a Senior Director, a practical industrial research chemist, and four Assistant Directors to cover the main divisions of modern chemistry. To this institute industry could come with its problems — and would without doubt contribute to the cost of these investigations. Other research men could be maintained by the Government to determine which of the newer processes could be adapted to British Columbia's resources, and attempt to discover new ones. We would soon be able to determine why it is necessary to import millions of dollars worth of wood products into a timber-producing country, when we should be exporting them, and exchanging them for finished products of other countries. Incidentally, as past records show, graduates of the University of British Columbia in Science have made enviable records for themselves wherever they have gone. An institute such as proposed would give these same men an opportunity to come back to develop their own province, instead of the United States. That research is not merely the urge of a "theoretical mind," and that these new processes may be "all right" in theory but not in practice, as so many of our "practical" business men argue, is evidenced by the annual address in 1934 of B. F. Halvorsen, President of the Norwegian Federation of Industries, who, speaking to his fellow "practical" industrialists, stated: "Much useful work is being done, and has been done, to rationalize our industry. Intimately concerned with these problems is the support given by industries and the authorities to scientific research work. "Science must be our ally and lead the way, if we shall be able to take full Twelve The University of British Columbia advantage of any improvement in the situation. So much is still left undone. The resources which we have in our forests, and in the produce of our soil, and the sea, could be turned to better account. "We are also far from taking full advantage of our waterpower, and for the successful exploitation of these resources, the assistance of scientific research is required. "Appropriations to scientific research is therefore money wisely spent. "Man's power over nature has enormously increased, but he will in future be able to go much further. It is important that we should be in the forefront so as to benefit by any advances made." I believe that these remarks apply so much to British Columbia that further comment is unnecessary. af» LINES FROM A EUROPEAN DIARY By James A. Gibson I (July 25 ,1932) S it always like this?" asked a plaintive voice. We were standing on the foredeck of the Belgian State Railways steamship "Prince Charles," which had just headed out of Dover Harbor en route to Ostend. The sky was overcast and there was a cutting suspicion of a half-gale over the Channel. "Oh, no," I answered, as reassuringly as memories of a certain crossing between Comox and Powell River made by the cast of "Friend Hannah" in May, 1930, would allow me, "I've seen it worse!" We were starting out on the first of several continental adventures. Earlier in the morning we had left Victoria Station in a continental boat-train, drawn by our old friend Southern Railway locomotive No. 755 (The Red Knight). In the succeeding four weeks we were to visit seven countries of central and northeastern Europe. Despite the auspicious start, we felt reassured to be on dry land again some three hours later, and speeding eastward across Belgium in the Budapest Express. Sometime before reaching Cologne at "0.50 hr" we had fallen asleep—in the luggage racks of our compartment. (July 25, 1933) Munich. This morning we were invited to visit the Brown House, the converted headquarters of the Nazi party. Our first (and permanent) impression was of a ruthlessly efficient political organism. Our guide spoke in clipped, precise—we thought almost naive — accents : These were the original flags of the Nazi party . . . those which had been seized by the police are better preserved than those which had seen active service . . . this council chamber (the chairs were upholstered in tomato-colored leather) was designed by Hitler himself ... at this plain table (in the refectory downstairs) der Fiihrer always eats when he is in Munich ... he does not take flesh or strong drink ... he invites anyone who happens to come in to sit at his table . . . these clerks (we counted 37 of them) are keeping the party records up to date (rows of filing cases were mounted on roller-bearing steel-wheeled trucks, a survival from the days when it was necessary to rush them into a bombproof safe extending along one entire wall, to protect the party records from the police) . . . this door opens on to this balcony, so that Hitler can address the people outside ... at the back is an infirmary (capacity 45 beds) to take care of storm troopers injured in defending the rights of the party. . . . Graduate Chronicle—July, 1935 Thirte It was something of a relief to get into the open air again. (Later). The curious little train was climbing up the steep gradients between Murnau and Oberammergau. Thence a mulberry-colored 'bus took us the remaining five kilometers to Ettal, nestling amid the green-timbered hills of Bavaria. In the evening, in company with 180 student delegates from 25 countries, we ate our dinner in one of the most celebrated Benedictine monasteries of Germany. It was built close beside the old Roman road which led through the Alps to Rome, and for nearly six centuries it has provided spiritual refreshment for pilgrims journeying southward. The Baroque decorations in the circular chapel had sharpened our inert senses of contrast, so that we were in part prepared for subsequent speeches on the political and social philosophy of national socialism in Germany. The venerable Abbot of Kloster Ettal —stooped and mild-mannered—was welcoming us in a soft, modulated voice. There might (he suggested) be something in the spell of the surrounding mountains, something in the traditions of antiquity of the sheltering monastery, which should arouse that catholicity of spirit which moves each individual to give of his best. "Boom." The flashlight photographers were at work, and our kindly host had jumped visibly. Captain Ernst Rohm, chief of the storm troop detachments in Germany and a man, one was told, about whom there was more than one opinion, a stocky figure with close-set, small blue eyes, made a very two-fisted speech ... no enemy may be suffered to arise within the state . . . freedom could not be allowed to those who sought to undermine national unity and the basis of the state . . . (Boom again, but Captain Rohm never moved a muscle through the smoke) . . . loyalty to a single principle meant loyalty to a whole people. . . . (Still later). We were invited to be present at a Bayerischer Heimatabend. We entered the basement tavern of the Hotel Ludwig der Bayer to find the place alive with music; and before long we found ourselves leading the company through "John Brown's Body" and "Alouette." Master of Ceremonies was our old friend, Friedrich Beck, Director of the Studentenhaus in Munich. We shall never forget his announcements in four languages, and more especially his celebrated call to order: "Meinen delegaten und delicatessen" . . . & THE GIFT OF THE CARNEGIE CORPORATION vOME eighteen months ago the Car- ^ negie Corporation, which has done so much for education in the United States and in the British Empire, offered each of the four Western Canadian universities a grant of $50,000 to be spent on some object to be chosen by the University and approved by the Corporation. The grant was not a recurring payment and could not well be employed for any purpose which would of necessity require continuing expenditure over a long period for its achievement. As the University of British Columbia had not kept a "wish-book" the task of choosing the object presented some difficulties. Suggestions were, therefore, invited from members of the staff and members of the governing bodies of the university. These were discussed by a joint meeting of the three faculties and were then submitted to a committee representative of both the Senate and the Board of Governors. The recommendations of this body were approved by Senate and Board and confirmed by the Carnegie Corporation. Fourteen The University of British Columbia The plan thus adopted comprises three distinct schemes. In the first place, a sum of $30,000 has been set aside for helping to organize adult education in British Columbia. A committee has been at work on the elaboration of this project which aims at supplementing what is already being done by other agencies and which, to yield the best results, must receive the support of many influential organizations among the general public. By the autumn of this year, when the wishes of those concerned have been ascertained and the extent to which the university can meet these wishes has been determined, the plan should be put into operation. It is expected that the Carnegie funds will suffice to support or assist various enterprises for a period of perhaps two years. The experience acquired during this experimental stage will serve to give an idea of what can be accomplished by the university in this field, and will thus make it possible to decide whether the work is sufficiently important and the University's contribution sufficiently effective to justify going on with the enterprise either on a self- supporting basis or with funds from other sources. In the second place, $10,000 was made available for scholarships to be granted to graduates of the University of British Columbia to enable them to continue their training, either at this university or elsewhere. In the past the graduates who have proceeded to other institutions have made and maintained the reputation of the University of British Columbia. This stream of graduate students was in some danger of running thin, as the depression made it harder for them to pay their own way, and at the same time reduced their prospect of obtaining help through scholarships and teaching fellowships. Thus the new grant will serve two purposes: it will be of immense benefit to students of the most deserving character at a critical stage in their careers; and it will conserve a valuable reputation which the University has acquired. The great practical importance of this reputation is not always realized. It is the determining factor in enabling the University, in normal years, to place its graduates where they can accomplish most by obtaining for them the appointments and even the financial aid which enable them to complete their training. It is expected that the Carnegie funds will be spread over three years. The results in the initial year have been most encouraging. Help has been given to some 24 students representing no less than 16 departments of the University. This is the team which will represent the University of British Columbia in the academic centres of the world. It had been intended to make the grants on the basis of scholarship alone without anything in the nature of a "means test"; but so many excellent candidates appeared that the committee in charge of administering the fund ventured to go rather beyond its instructions and to recommend the distribution of the money in the way which, in its opinion, would do most good. Finally, $10,000 was set aside to help members of the teaching staff to attend meetings of learned societies at which they were chosen to read papers. In more prosperous times grants in aid for this purpose, which are practically geographical necessities, have been made from University funds. These grants were withdrawn at a time when salary reductions put in force during the depression made it extremely hard for members of the staff to travel at their own expense. The result was that attendance at conferences fell off. Two serious consequences followed: members of the staff found it harder to keep up with the latest work in their fields and were thus handicapped in the help they could give to students; and other institutions were not kept in touch with what was being done at this university. To have allowed the gap which has occurred to be prolonged would have been most regrettable because it would have imperilled the reputation of the University which has been laboriously built up. The importance of this reputation has already been explained, in so far as the graduates are concerned. Graduate Chronicle—July, 1935 Fifteen It is also, of course, a strong factor in maintaining the morale of the staff. In a relative sense the wisdom of any course of action depends on the value of the alternatives which have been rejected. These cannot be considered here. In an absolute sense, however, there can be no doubt that the University of British Columbia, thanks to the generous aid received from the Carnegie Corporation, has been able to accomplish something very significant. H. F. Angus. ^ U. B. C. AND THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA FRIENDS of Dr. R. W. Brock are congratulating him on his election to the presidency of the Royal Society of Canada. It is a signal honour which has come to the University, and to Vancouver, for membership in the Royal Society carries the hallmark of excellence in scholarship, and the presidency has been held by a long list of men distinguished in science and letters. Dr. Shrum has this year been elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, as a member of Section III: Astronomy, Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics. This makes the fourth member of the staff to be elected as a Fellow in this section. The others are: Dr. E. H. Archibald, Dr. R. H. Clark, and Dean Buchanan. Professor Larsen is a member of Section II: English Language and Literature. Dean R. W. Brock, Dr. S. J. Schofield, and Dr. M. Y. Williams are members of Section IV: Geology; and Dr. Hutchinson and Dr. C. McLean Fraser are members of Section V: Biological Sciences. ^ U. B. C. STAFF CHANGES /V^f EW appointments to the Univer- ^-^ ^ sity of British Columbia staff include a number of distinguished alumni. Dr. Dorothy Blakey has been named as instructor in English; Dr. Sylvia Thrupp as instructor in History; May L. Barclay as instructor in Mathematics; and Jacob Biely as instructor in Poultry Husbandry. Leave of absence for one year has been granted Dr. H. F. G. Letson, associate professor of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, while Dr. W. A. Carrothers of the Department of Economics has been granted a year's extension of his present leave, to enable him to continue to serve on the Economic Council of the province. Professor E. G.

Sixteen The University of British Columbia CONNAUGHT LABORATORIES ESTABLISH RESEARCH GROUP ON CAMPUS OF interest to all University of British Columbia graduates is the news that, as a result of a plan in which the University, the Provincial Board of Health, and the Connaught Laboratories of the University of Toronto co-operate, a medical research group is to be established upon the campus. Dr. C. E. Dolman, Dr. R. J. Gibbons, and two technical assistants will comprise the group, and their work will be followed with interest. Dr. Dolman will also serve as head of the Department of Bacteriology and Nursing, succeeding Dr. Hibbert Winslow Hill, who has resigned owing to ill-health. ar» GRADUATE CLUBS PLAYERS' CLUB ALUMNI (T) LAYERS Club Alumni, thriving ■*- offspring of an illustrious parent, came into being just a little over two years ago, as the result of a desire on the part of a few former members of the parent club to perpetuate old associations. An executive was chosen, under the presidency of Jack Clyne. However, little constructive work, beyond the support of a one-act play in the Drama Festival of 1933, was attempted at this time and it was not until the spring of 1934, little more than a year ago, that they burst upon the public (composed at the beginning of friends and relations), with an evening of one-act plays, presented in the well-remembered Auditorium on the corner of Tenth and Willow. Of these, "The Birthday of the Infanta" was adjudged the best and it was therefore entered in the 1934 Dominion Drama Festival, where it made a very creditable showing, coming within one or two points of ranking third. The Club was fortunate in having Mr. F. G. C. Wood to direct the play, as well as very able members for the cast. At the election held that same spring Dr. Harry Warren was elected President. It would be hard to overestimate his contribution to the Club, both in initiative and enthusiasm. It has been the biggest single factor in their development, not only in itself, but also in the way of inspiration to his executive and the club in general. Under Dr. Warren's guidance, the Club inaugurated the policy of presenting a comedy as part of the Graduation festivities and led off with a translation from the French, "Dr. Knock," which was directed by Beatrice Wood and had David Brock in the title role. The success of this play, financial as well as dramatic and social, confirmed this policy which is now considered firmly established. "Dr. Knock" was presented in its entirety three times—at the University on the evening before Graduation, at Mr. Cromie's residence by his invitation, and at Qualicum, where the fortunate members of the cast spent a very happy week-end. Act II was also performed, under the direction of Isabel Barton, for the Parent-Teacher Association, at the Point Grey Junior High School. The first activity of the 1934-35 season was a Sunday afternoon tea-party at the home of Alice Morrow, for the members of the Club (and spouses). During the summer considerable ground work had been done by the advisory board and executive, so that Mr. Wood, as spokesman for these bodies, was able to present for discussion the outlines of several plays considered possibilities for production at our own private performance and hence for the Dominion Drama Festival. The outcome was an evening of four Graduate Chronicle—July, 1935 Seventeen one-act plays on January 19th, with directors from the personnel of the club, each making their initial appearance in this capacity. Those who were present will recall that the judges, Mr. Thorlief Larson, Mr. James Butterfield and Mr. Leyland Hodgson, chose "Smokescreen," a melodrama of the underworld, directed by Dr. E. T. W. Nash, as the best all- round entry, and this, with "The Sister Who Walked in Silence," directed by Ellen Harris, the second choice, was entered for the Drama Festival in February. Both received very favorable criticism from the adjudicator. In view of the fact that for the past three years the plays which have been chosen to go to Ottawa have been excerpts from classics, or historical dramas, it would seem that choice of a vehicle and not indifferent acting has been responsible for the Club's failure to come within the first three. It is hoped that next year's selection will be one that will give full scope to the dramatic ability in its ranks. The final production of the last season was the comedy "Once in a Lifetime" by Kauffman and Hart, directed by Marjorie Ellis. This called for a very large cast, headed by Isabel Barton, Malcolm Pretty and Dave McDonald, and taxed the membership to the limit, so that its success in every way is all the greater credit to the director and players. The play was presented on May 8th, just the evening before Graduation and called out the best house the Club has had yet. It also brought out considerable unexpected talent in some of the minor roles, along with the excellent performances turned in by the "veteran" performers. In the case of each of these productions, try-outs were held for the parts, the advisory board with the directors, acting as judges. An interesting and hopeful feature of the existence of the Players' Club Alumni is its great vitality for so young an organization. Each new project has seen the addition of new members without sacrificing the older ones—new members who are quite as keen as the others and who plunge into the active work of planning and carrying out the endless jobs entailed in putting on amateur plays. With their help and the addition each year of members recruited from the Players' Club, the scope of the Club is barely indicated, and the Alumni of the University should have reason to be proud of its colleague in the not too distant future. Players' Club Alumni's ultimate aim is to have its own headquarters, however primitive, where meetings can be held, plays rehearsed and produced and the various side-lines, such as experimentation with scenery, lighting effects and new techniques can be carried on. To this end, the bulk of the profits from the plays is being invested and each project is made self-supporting, the main fund being inviolate. The lusty existence of this Club should be of great service to the Alumni of the University, as the latter's support certainly can be to the Players' Club Alumni and their joint aim should be mutual co-operation to their mutual benefit. * * * * THE GRADUATE LETTERS CLUB \\/ AS organized three years ago by ^' Professor Larsen. It consists of about twenty ex-members of the original undergraduate club who still feel the need to express themselves upon literary matters, and to uphold their opinions against all to the contrary. Monthly meetings are held at which the writers of papers try more to provoke lively discussion than to achieve high literary excellence. The three presidents who, up to the present, have directed the activities of the Graduate Letters Club are Miss Jean Skelton, Mrs. Henry Angus, and Mrs. Emslie Yeo. The president-elect for 1935-36 is Mrs. Robert Brooks. The programme for next season has already been outlined. It will consists, among other things, of a paper on Gerard Eighteen The University of British Columbia Manly Hopkins, one on some proletarian novelists and poets, an "original contributions" evening, and an evening devoted to ten-minute critiques of some noteworthy new books. Any former member of the University Letters Club is eligible for membership in the graduate club, and will be welcome. THE COMMERCE GRADUATES HAVE formed an active society which holds luncheon meetings at regular intervals during the winter. They were hosts, too, at a very successful dance given in April for the 1935 graduating class in Commerce. The president this year is Mr. Mark Collins. GRADUATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY THE Graduate Historical Society made its appearance in the autumn of 1934, as a gathering place for U. B. C. graduates who have specialized in History. The idea of such a group is much older, for many students felt that the profitable and enjoyable discussions which had characterized the undergraduate meetings should continue after they had been accepted into that greater fellowship of "members of the university." All graduates who majored in History are invited to the monthly meetings of the society. The society has as its special objective the providing of a suitable form of recognition for the students leading the graduating class in History. The original idea was to re-establish the medal which was last awarded in 1932, but for the present a Book Prize has been decided upon. An endowment fund has been started, and all interested graduates are asked to forward their contributions to a member of the executive. "History and Society" was the general topic chosen for the year's discussions, and papers were presented by Mr. G. H. Cockburn, B.A., "History and Religion"; Mr. Cecil Hacker, B.A., "History and the Press"; and Mr. Creswell Oates, M.A., "Nazi Interpretation of History". Two guest speakers, Mrs. A. F. B. Clarke and Mr. R. L. Reid, K.C., led discussions on "Russia" and "Fort Langley" respectively. On March 2, a dinner meeting was held at the Hotel Georgia with the Honorary President, Dr. W. N. Sage, as special speaker. Dr. Sage outlined the "History of History at U. B. C", and his listeners, who were representative of U.B.C. graduates from 1920 to 1934, felt that they had just reason for being proud of the achievements of their Department. The President for 1934-35 was Helen R. Boutilier, M.A., (Arts '31). SOCIAL SERVICE SECTION n\AEMBERS of the Alumni Asso- ^-s -*- ciation who hold a social service diploma organized themselves into a section this year, for the particular purpose of pulling the social service course to pieces and making suggestions as to how it might be put together again. Meetings were held monthly and at the end of the year a report was sent forward to the department. The suggestions submitted were graciously received, and many of them put into execution. The new course as outlined should be of much more value to those taking it than the previous one. The bringing together of the social service graduates into one group has given them not only a sense of unity, but it has made them feel themselves an integral part of the Alumni Association. This is true, we feel, of all the "interest" groups which have been formed in recent years. ce° Graduate Chronicle—July, 1935 Nineteen 1924-1934 Being An Account of Sc. '24's First Reunion, Ten Years After Graduation— Held in the Hotel Georgia, November 10, 1934. An Interesting Statistical Record on the Class Members is Attached as an Appendix /O/JFINE wet mist, in which the ^-^ ■*■ Neon signs glow redly, hangs over Granville Street as your correspondent bears down on the Hotel Georgia in answer to the Executive's summons to the reunion. The door of Room 306 opens to me and, with its opening, ten years fall away in a flash for here is Sc. '24—thirteen of them at any rate—to say nothing of "Doc" Davidson. A veritable gathering of the Clans. After due observance of those ceremonies which the occasion seemed to indicate, we arrange ourselves 'round the festive board and your correspondent is able to take stock of the surroundings and, as it were, to "fix" his position ere darkness closes down. At the head of the table sits our Vice- President, Roley Graham. On his right, in the place of honor, is "Doc" Davidson, while on his left he is supported by our still-genial Secretary-Treasurer, Fred Coffin. My eyes pass clockwise 'round the table and the well-remembered faces march past. Jack Underhill, genial as ever; Web Heaslip, who has come up from Seattle; Len Stacey, exuding the same benign atmosphere as of yore; Alan Napier and George Sweny; then Gordon Letson, looking quite Staff-Captainish; George Lipsey from Britannia; Phil Stoyan (the Civils had three out of the original four here tonight) ; "Tug" Hardie, here from Princeton; "Chub" Arnott flanked by "Fin," who sits beside the "Doc" and my eyes have come full circle. As to the menu, your correspondent feels that this is hardly relevant and besides he can't remember. He distinctly remembers the oysters and the soup; he retains a less distinct memory of a succulent steak, but the rest is lost in what was once referred to as the* Fog of Battle. Fourteen people, all talking at once, scraps of stories of half-forgotten incidents, caught up, carried the length of the table, swift this way and that, as under the influence of the night and certain volatile hydrocarbons we recapture our first youth. "Gentlemen, The King." A scraping of chairs thrust back—a raising of glasses, a sudden hush. "The King," and we relax as cigarettes and pipes come out. Fragments of conversation tossed to and fro. ... A story starts at one end of the table only to find itself commanding the attention of all, it ends and is capped by another and another as, under the film of tobacco smoke, we take stock of each other after the years between. . . . Another hush as Len Stacey, glass in hand, rises. He takes us back briefly to a University unknown to the students of today—the Fairview Shacks from which we graduated. . . . "Our Alma Mater," and once more the chairs scrape back as we honor the toast. A stocky figure next to the Chairman rises and at the sound of the "Doc's" voice the past comes sweeping back along the already narrowing paths of perspective. He is in good form. ... "I tell you honestly, boys. . . ." He is glad to be here and we are delighted to have him. He tells us something of the new surroundings of the University—its new problems—its new successes and its new difficulties. A good talk and we are only sorry he must leave us so early in the evening. As he stands hat in hand in the doorway ready to leave, George Sweny neatly expresses what we less articulate ones all feel as he rises and pays high tribute to Dr. Davidson and the high standard of the University generally. The perspective afforded by ten years has only served to emphasize Twenty The University of British Columbia the privileges which once were ours and we heartily echo his remarks. ". . . You men spoiled us, you know." It is "Doc" Davidson as he concludes his thanks. "There were several classes— '23, '24, and '25—-which I would call 'vintage years' and I, personally, do not expect to see their like again." We rise in our places as he leaves. Once more the glasses are filled and through the thickening smoke Fred Coffin, who, with Roley Graham, has made this long-looked-for Reunion a fact, tells us that he has some letters for us. From all over the continent they have come. Letters from offices, mining camps, Universities and Laboratories, showing how the spinning wheel of fortune has distributed us about the board. Our President, "Jap" Wolverton, has written from Kimberley. Yes, "Jap," we all got home without the assistance of the police or fire departments, but, Man, it was awfu' late! Doug Wallis has written from Victoria. No, Doug, Roley didn't sing on this occasion but he wouldn't have needed much encouragement. "Gee" Ternan has written from Kam- loops and Gerry McKee adds a postscript to Gee's letter. Bill Smitheringale has written from Wells, B. C. Percy Peele has written from Calgary. Sorry, Percy, that we couldn't have held this reunion at the Palliser. Fitz Osborne has wished us luck from Montreal. C. G. McLachlan has wired from Noranda, Quebec; Val Gwyther wrote from Choate, B. C, and Henry Giegerich from Kimberley, B. C. Stuart Falconer has written from Cranford, N. J. It is seven years since he last saw British Columbia. In this time he has tried many other places but gives the palm to British Columbia. Frank Charnley has written from Prince Rupert. We are glad to hear that Frank has recovered from a serious illness. Gordon Bell's letter carries an Ara- bridge, Pa., date line and he has thoughtfully enclosed a liquor list, symbolic, presumably, of the new emancipation. Percy Barr's letter from Berkeley, Calif., conveys both his and Upton Sinclair's best wishes for an EPIC Reunion. We had one, alright, Percy! Most of us are now accounted for, Roley tells us as Freddie sits down, but the years have taken their toll. "Scotty" Rusbury, Norm Foggo, Bobby Jackson, and Roy McLaren have gone from us. As the silent toast holds us all in its ghostly silence these men come back to us again. . . . The silence dies away and we come back to the present—the room wreathed in smoke, the coffee cups piled high with cigarette stubs and the evening just nicely started. Once again our indefatigable Secretary rises and this time introduces the event of the evening. He unfolds the Class Roll and as each man's name is read he calls on different people round the table to tell all they know about the victim. In alphabetical order from P. M. Barr to J. M. Wolverton the saga of Sc. '24 unfolds. We all have something to add to each dossier, and story, anecdote and slander hold sway as we go joyously down the list. Name after name, and with each name illuminating anecdote and news from all sides. Your correspondent wishes he had the power to commit to paper the spirit that is abroad in this smoke-filled room as the hours slip past unnoticed. Hours in which we turn back the clock ten years and in the act lost all count of time. And after the last name we clangour for the old class prophecy and its reading loosens the floodgates "of reminiscence afresh. Graduate Chronicle—July, 1935 Twenty-one The last sleepy waiter on his way to bed takes a last despairing look into the room. We whoop joyously at him. "Waiter, more coffee!" "Coffee, sir," the man's horror is pathetic; "I'm sorry, sir, but it's after 2 o'clock!" And so it is, even though to us it seems that the 9 o'clock gun has hardly finished echoing over the harbor. Of such stuff is our Reunion made. * * * * It is 2:40 a.m. and the fine mist has blown past as your correspondent leaves the hotel. One's car has been left at home—an elementary precaution on such occasion, but who cares; the last street car has long since gone to bed, but who cares! It is only a five-mile walk. Forward ! Sc. '24! Only don't try to explain it to your wives! APPENDIX Number graduating 38 Number now in British Columbia.... 24 Number now elsewhere in Canada.... 7 Number now in United States 6 Number now in England 1 All members of the class are now employed. With one exception the positions held are of a permanent nature. In order to give some idea of the type of employment the following figures are given: Type of Work Per Cent of Class Commercial— Technical positions 60 Non-technical 25 Academic— University teaching 11 High School teaching 4 100 Those present felt that since this dinner was such a decided success it was unanimously agreed that we should hold another similar function in five years. It was felt that Thanksgiving with its weekend holiday would provide a better opportunity for members to be present. Plan now to attend and let's hear from you! F. W. C. IN MEMORIAM X DR. F. C. WALKER WE feel that as Dr. Walker's old students read this number of the Chronicle they will be searching for some expression of the regret which filled the hearts of us all when word came of the passing of this well loved friend and teacher. Below, by kind permission of the writers, we reproduce the dedicatory poem and an article from the Letters Club Tribute to Dr. Walker, who died at Florence, Italy, on June 25th, 1934: FOR F. C. W. You are a part of memories Of all earth's kind and gentle things— Long talks beside the winter hearth And summer gypsyings. That kindest voice is still; no more— Boyish and gay—your laughter rings: We bring this token of our love For you, whose heart had wings. Anne Margaret Angus. No person ever took less pains than did Professor Francis Cox Walker to put himself forward, but in his thirteen years at the University of British Columbia he became one of the best-known figures in the place. He had come to be regarded—it would amuse him to hear it —as a sort of permanent institution: indeed, one can hardly grasp the thought of his not returning. But "institution" is not at all the right word. Who would seriously suggest anything impersonal in describing him? For he had a personality if ever there was one. No one else will be able to relieve a heavy situation in Faculty meeting by a happy foolishness solemnly uttered. No one is likely to contrive such helpful and elegant nonsense as his scheme for remembering Anglo-Saxon versification: Anglo-Saxons Besotted folk Composed verses Darned tongue-twisters Done Walker-wise End-rhyming barred. Probably no one else will make a sketching-pencil do double service as defense against boredom and delight to his friends. And not many people can be at once so matter-of-fact and so sensitively thoughtful, so individual in nature and at the same time so strictly loyal to fellowship and duty. The Faculty, his colleagues in the English Department, his students, the Players' Club and the Letters Club will not forget him. He was a rare soul. G. G. Sedgewick. IN MEMORIAM PRINCIPAL VANCE ' I 'HROUGH the death of Principal Vance of the Anglican Theolog- ■*• ical College, Vancouver has lost one of its most active and dynamic churchmen. He was a preacher, a teacher, and a theologian. But he was more than these. He was a good citizen with a keen interest in all the problems which touch upon good citizenship and in public movements that tended to the betterment of the community. Education lay very close to his heart. An educationist himself, and dealing constantly with the product of our primary and secondary schools, he was well aware of the weaknesses of our system and no less aware of the difficulties of improving that system. But the difficulties only encouraged him to attempt to overcome them, and in his capacity as principal of the Anglican College and as a member of the University Senate he was in a position to give point to his views. Principal Vance will be sorely missed on the University campus, and not there alone. Church circles and the institutional and social life of the city will be the poorer for his passing. 3T PROFESSOR H. N. THOMSON I HE Faculty of Applied Science sustained a severe blow in the loss ■*■ of Professor Thomson, who died in February of this year. Professor Thomson was considered one of the most eminent authorities on Mining in Canada, and had spent much of his life since graduation in metallurgical work in various smelters in the United States and Canada. Since coming to the University he had acquired a deserved reputation as a speaker and lecturer which made him one of the most popular guest-speakers at the lectures sponsored by the British Columbia Chamber of Mines. His students will miss the entertaining hours which they spent in his courses for besides being an authority in his own line he was a storyteller of no mean ability. No one who was with Professor Thomson during the last weeks of his life could fail to pay tribute to the fortitude which enabled him to keep on with his work and present a courageous attitude to the world in the face of suffering and the certainty of death. No less than his scholarship we honour his courage. Twenty-four The University of British Columbia UNDERGRADUATE ACTIVITIES VARSITY'S 1934-35 year was not particularly outstanding from the point of view of world history-making, nevertheless, it had its moments quite frequently between the Frosh reception and spring congregation. A double climax in excitement divided the year more decisively than the Christmas holidays did; the double climax, quite naturally, was the January snowstorm followed, a few days later, by the chasmic collapse right on the campus. The excitement over the mountains of snow on the momentous January 21st was more or less confined to the few stalwarts who fought their way intrepidly through banks of snow on foot along the University boulevard in order, they said, to get overdue books back to the library, and to publish The Ubyssey that day. But they crowed about their hardiness for weeks afterward. That excitement was almost a yawn compared to the territorial collapse at the conclusion of that week. The news arrived rather frivolously about 3 o'clock Thursday afternoon. "The bridge has collapsed, we are isolated from the Anglican Theological College." Then the big parade began. Lecture attendance reached a new minimum, even professors found the lure of that garage hovering on the brink irresistible. The hardy souls who ventured into the wetness in the interest of the downtown papers and plain curiosity were consistently wet all that week. Many peculiar costume ensembles came to light in the course of the day, as available clothing was used up. Informality was the keynote, with everything from bare feet to sailor hats discovered in the Players' Club property room. Only now is the chasm ceasing to yawn. Gradually it is being filled up with relays of trucks hauling dirt from down the road. That was rather demoralizing for lectures, too. The year did see three movements not previously found on the precincts of the campus. The first began the very first week, when a few seniors decided they were not distinguishable from freshmen, and that compulsory gowns for upper- classmen would be a good idea. Everybody took sides violently. Pro-gowns withered anti-gowns with vituperation, and anti-gowns denounced pro-gowns no less violently. Eventually at an Alma Mater meeting pro-gowns won, but the matter stopped right there. Someone had forgotten how much gowns cost. Then there was the movement to establish Phrateres, which was culminated last month with the initiation of the newly formed University of British Columbia Chapter, Theta, into the international order. Clare Brown deserves much credit for its establishment, it was her idea and her executive talents which put it over. Phrateres is a social organization open to all women on the campus, whether they belong to a sorority or not, and the enthusiasm of the response to it quite justifies its formation. The third movement was of a less weighty nature. It was an alarming tendency to circulate questionnaires about various things from pacifism to foundation garments. Through The Ubyssey they reached a student public which patiently clipped and answered the questions, up to a point; they rebelled after the third one. The year also saw decided advances in several different lines. One of the most interesting of these was the modern art exhibit in the library in the early spring. It was a very puzzled student body for several days afterward, and there was an amazing run on the modern art section in the Library. Science's Open House week-end was on Saturday, February 9th, when all proud parents and disinterested spectators came out to the campus in droves to watch burly Science men make lightning and do all sorts of wonderful things so nonchalantly. Then the Vocational Guidance talks outgrew their first Graduate Chronicle—July, 1935 Twenty-five location and were assuming enormous proportions of attenders toward the close of the term. The campus had several visitors this year of which it might well be proud. Not the least of these was Fritz Leiber, who gave a hilarious speech, and Sir Percy Sykes, who charitably took no umbrage when an inexperienced Ubyssey reporter referred to him in a report of his talk as Sir Sykes. The Earl and Countess of Bessborough were also campus visitors in the spring. Julian Huxley was anticipated with great eagerness when he was scheduled to speak late in January in the University Auditorium. He was a victim of storm, however, and spent several days marooned on a train caught somewhere up the valley by snow, and did not arrive. The various University organizations who do something big each year all came through a little better than last year. The Players' Club's production of "Hedda Gabler" was a remarkably fine piece of work. The Musical Society staged "Ruddigore" capably. The Publications Board pegged along at putting out a paper twice a week, with their big moment in publishing the Vancouver Sun in February. Their greatest artistic achievement was confined to creative art on the walls of their office. The athletes around the campus had their little troubles all year, too. First there was the flurry over whether American football should replace Canadian rugby with rather strong sentiments on both sides. American rugby, when tried out, was not a great success. Then we had a slick English rugby team which won pretty consistently, except that the McKechnie Cup got out of U.B.C. hands. And our basketball team is historical by now, and came within a very thin ace of making the provincial championship. That covers the campus activities in general, and all the little details which made the year so interesting to those on the spot must be left to the imagination since they turn up each year with variations. —Nancy Miles. & PERSONALS (Editor's Note: After the Chronicle of 1932 was issued, a rather pathetic little note was received from "Lefty" Nelson, familiar in undergraduate activities in the dim period "before the war." He requested that the next Chronicle should please mention such common folk as himself.
