These workhorses of modern industry go into immediate action to drive the machines that make guns, tanks, shells, ships, planes, everything in whole or part that adds up to victory. Almost a sixth of a mile in length is the huge machine shop at Peterborough Works. As one walks its long avenue one sees precision machines, geared up to war-time effort, building motors of every description, for every purpose; generators for power companies; equipment for steel mills; drives for mine hoists ... all means lror making "the tools to finish the job." For nearly half a century Canadian General Electric engineers and craftsmen have been finding ways to make electricity more useful. Today, they are applying electricity to the task of defending the benefits that it has helped to create. G-E research saves the Canadian public hundreds of thousands of dollars annually.

Undergraduates as well as grads will attend the dance and Dal Richards will provide a musical background. Athletes, undergraduate and alumni will meet on Saturday at a Big Block luncheon in the Brock, before the big football game in the stadium when Varsity plays the Vancouver Grizzlies. After the game, a special turkey dinner will be served in both Brock and the Caf. In the Lt.-Gov. Woodward evening, traditional Theatre Night will be held. Players Club and Musical Society will contribute to the program and there will be songs and skits by various campus organizations as well as grads. There will be roll call for all years from the earliest. Afterwards an informal dance will be held in Brock Hall with music by Sid Poulton's Varsity Band. THE GRADUATE CHRONICLE U.B.C GRADS IN NAZI PRISON CAMPS ISABEL GUERNSEY A well-known woman graduate, Mrs. Tarrant Guernsey, the former Isabel Russell is a prisoner of war in Germany. Mrs. Guernsey, who worked in the geology department of U.B.C. before she married a geologist from Rhodesia was a victim of Nazi sea havoc. She was aboard the now historic ZamZam when it was sunk by a German raider in May. Mrs. Guernsey, with the rest of the passengers was taken to a women's concentration camp at Liebenau, in south Germany. In September she was brought to Berlin with other British women prisoners. At the German capitol she is technically free and is living in a hotel on 150 marks or $60 a month provided by the Canadian Government. Mrs. Guernsey wrote a graphic story for the last edition of the Chronicle describing her life in South Africa. She was on her way home there when the ZamZam was torpedoed. RALPH HENDERSON One of U.B.C.'s most popular graduates, Ralph Henderson, known as "Hunk" who graduated in '36 recently made newspaper headlines. Hunk joined the Royal Canadian Air Force in June, 1940. In April of this year he went overseas as a pilot and from then until August was one of the flyers whose bombs harassed Germany and occupied Europe by night. In August he was shot down over Germany and his friends spent anxious days until he was reported safe, but a prisoner of war. "I am fine and healthy, uninjured (luckily) and being treated quite well," he has since written to his family- "We are under the jurisdiction of the German Air Force and in a chival rous sort of way we are being treated well. We get enough to eat alright. Our own cooks do the cooking. "I am with two Canadian officers that I knew in Canada, we will remain together. We can receive as many letters as are sent to us so write often." KANE NAZI PRISONER Lieut. George Kane, another U.B.C. graduate is in a German concentration camp. George was reported missing after the Dunkirk evacuation but he has since been revealed to be a prisoner of war. He was studying at the University of London when war was declared and joined an English unit. Hugh Keenleyside, Arts '20, like Robertson, holds the rank of Councellor in the Department. His most important duties are those of Secretary of the Canadian Section of the Permanent Joint Board of Defence. OFFICERS TRAINING CORPS BUILDING THE GRADUATE CHRONICLE Looking Backward on U.B.C. in World War 1 I have just come in from a Saturday afternoon drive through the University grounds, where I have been watching the hundreds of young undergraduates taking their military training. The years roll back and I sit musing of the early days of the last war, when the O.T.C. was born. No funds, no uniforms, no parade- grounds, except a cold, draughty, old warehouse on Hamilton street, no orderly room (do I hear some "old sweat" say "Thank the Lord!"), No rifles, no armoury, no instructors except overworked officers from the permanent forces who co-operated by rendering their services after doing their daily duties in the regular Army. However, "the splendid spirit of the cadets and the untiring efforts of the officers" welded the O.T.C. into an organization that had "cause to be proud of its war record, and had a tradition of hard work and self-sacrifice." I know that that same fine spirit is being evidenced on our campus today. Many of the old brigade have sons who are receiving their training under the vastly improved conditions that exist today, and to us there is a thrill in realizing that from the small beginning there has developed such an efficient organization. WAR HEROES In looking over the "Record of Service," U.B.C. 1914-18, we find the names of 697 members of the University or of the McGill Colleges of British Columbia, and of these 78 laid down their lives. If we could only turn back the years and stage this year's Homecoming rugby game between the present stalwarts and those of twenty-five years ago! Of course, it would be English rugby, as the Canadian game had then not even been considered on these far- western shores. Can.you see them now? Steve Plum- mer, Lyall Fraser, John Anderson, Gord Scott, Al Bickell, Art Lord, Ham- ish Cameron, Pete Celle, Bill Dawe, Merrill DesBrisay, George D ix o n, "Dutch" Eckardt, "Skipper" Helme, Jack Hoult, Blair Jardine, Harry Let- son, Murray Meekison, and a host of others. Although the "Record of Service" show that U. B. C. men were to be found in all branches of the service, most of the enlistments were in the P.B.I. The Royal Flying Corps was in its infancy, and it was only in the By WILLIAM C. WILSON, Arts '16 latter years of the war that an opportunity was offered to young Canadians to receive the necessary training in Canada. PRINCESS PATS The first mass enlistment from our institution comprised the group who in the spring of 1915 left as re-inforee- ments for the famous "Princess Pats" (P.P.C.L.I.). There were about 30 in all, and their leaving was the "raison d'etre" for many rousing social functions held on the top floor of the "cow barn,'' which at that time was the main building of the University (McGill College), situated at the corner of Tenth and Laurel. Many of them did not return, but of those who did even the younger graduates may have heard of "Eb" Crute of soccer fame, Gordon "Irish" Craig (Mayor Telford's secretary), Lyall Fraser and Ralph Mac- Pherson, past presidents of the Vancouver and New Westminster Boards of Trade. Other group enlistments were to the Queen's University Battery later in 1915, and the Western Universities Battalion in 1916. Graduates of war years who are again rendering service with the military services at the U.B.C. are "Johnny" MacLeod, "Dutch" Eckardt, Art Lord and Gordon Scott. The spiritual welfare of the people of the province is being looked after by many gentlemen who were active in militia work on the campus and in active service during the last war. Some of those coming to mind are Sam Galbraith, Joe Smeeton, Frank Buck (not the one you see in the movies), Bryce Wallace, "Walky" Walkin- shaw, Bill Willan, Theo de .Pender,— (the two latter are again on active service as padres). LETSON TO WASHINGTON Harry Letson is another original who has been active in militia work since his cadet days at King Edward High School and is now Canadian Military Attache at Washington, D.C.

IN 1941 CARRIES ON The gala atmosphere of dances and football games once again will greet alumni who come back to the U.B.C. campus on Homecoming week-end, but to everyone who knew this little world before the shadow of war darkened the green-elad campus the great change which has taken place here will be obvious. U.B.C. has entered upon its third war-session. Undergraduates have not shirked from the added burden which war has placed on their shoulders. Indeed, they have welcomed the opportunity which is theirs to do everything possible for our country's victory. Men and women alike have assumed assigned and voluntary tasks with growing intensity from year to year. WAR WORK During the first war term in 1939 enlistment in the U.B.C. Contingent of the C.O.T.C. more than tripled. Training was purely voluntary then. Canada did not fully realize the importance of the struggle she had entered. Last year, however, universities across Canada fell into step with the government's increased war-effort and compulsory military training for all male students came into force. Over 1,500 men at U.B.C. paraded weekly in either the C.O.T.C. or basic battalions and climaxed their year's training by attending a two-week army camp at Nanaimo in May. Co-eds also did their part by organizing into sewing and knitting circles under the Women's Undergraduate Society's direction and joining first-aid classes. Compulsory training for men is in JllinillMIIIIMIIIIfllllHIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIC Campus Letter By Archie Paton rilllllllllllllllllllllllllHlllllllllllllllllllllllMIIIIIMIIIIII"">">llllllllllllir full swing again this fall. Lois Nicholson, W.U.S. President, has enlarged upon last year's war-work program for co-eds and daily sessions are held in the Red Cross knitting rooms in Brock Hall. Every student is now doing his or her bit towards the university war- effort. The newest building on the campus, still under construction, stands as mute evidence of the change which has taken place in three short years. Built by funds collected from the pay of CO. T.C. cadets since 1928, the Armouries will be officially opened next month. SPORTS CUT The increased amount of time which undergraduates have to give to military and Red Cross work (men get six hours compulsory training per week) has necessitated the drastic cutting of other extra-curricular activities. Sports have been especially affected by the war-effort. Inter-collegiate sport has been abandoned by U.B.C. as at most other Canadian colleges. Even teams entered in city leagues have had to discontinue. Rugby and football have been the two sports most seriously hit, although a four-game Canadian football schedide for this fall was approved by the Council on Physical Education and Athletics last week. Basketball is now the only major sport which has kept U.B.C. in the athletic spot-light. Last spring the Thun- derbirds ended the most successful season in history by winning the Canadian Senior A championship from Toronto, and prospects for another good year look bright as the hoopers start practises this week. WARTIME PARTIES Social events, too, have been restricted because of the war. Many formal functions which in past years were held downtown have been frowned upon as not befitting a university at this time, but to make up for them students have turned to informal parties in the undergraduates' own building, Brock Hall. The Brock was officially opened in February, 1940, and named as a memorial to Dean Reginald Brock and his wife who were killed in an aeroplane crash on September 27, 1935. Since it opened, Brock Hall has become the centre of student extra-curricular activity and is now the scene of women's war work as well as the social rendezvous. Despite all the changes and restrictions, however, the enrollment at U.B. C. continues to increase, and this year is greater than ever before. The university is doing more than just carrying on—it is going ahead. Players Club to do "Man Who Came To Dinner" Players' Club Alumni are carrying on in spite of war. Last spring, under the direction of Garfield King, Elmer Rice's unusual "Adding Machine" was produced in the University Theatre May 13 and 14. It was hailed by dramatic critics as one of the most polished amateur performances to be produced in the city, with, beyond doubt the most original and spectacular stage settings. Appearing in the production were Lorraine Johnston, Lacey Fisher, Mary Moxon, E. R. Chamberlain, Esme Cayd- zien, C. E. Taylor, J. W. B. Shore, Rodney Poisson, William Rose, Dave Macdonald, Cyrol Chave, Margaret Ecker, Joan Wilson, Josephine Kennedy, Elizabeth Norrie, Estelle Chave, Jean Salter, Douglas Dawson, R. C. Harris. This fall the Alumni Players will bring "The Man Who Came to Dinner" to Vancouver for the first time. The play is being cast and production dates will be announced later. Greek Letter Societies Support Red Cross $2000 FOR RED CROSS Fraternities and sororities on the campus staged a mammoth Red Cross dance last year that netted the University's Red Cross campaign approximately $2,000. Sale of dance raffle tickets formed a large portion of the net proceeds. The following night, a "mixer" was held in Brock Hall, admission: one war saving stamp. Proceeds, $125, was sent to the War Savings Headquarters in Ottawa. THE GRADUATE CHRONICLE The Graduate Chronicle A quarterly journal owned by and devoted to the interests of The Alumni Association of The University of British Columbia. EDITOR: Margaret Ecker ASSISTANT EDITORS: Phyllis Nemetz, Janet Walker, Norman Hacking Printed by Mitchell Printing & Publishing Co. Ltd. OCTOBER, 1941 EDITORIAL There's some obscure tradition that the editor of a publication such as the Chronicle should garnish his or her concoction with an editorial. It would seem however, in this case that that is unnecessary. The above head has merely been put in to fool you, in case you are orthodox enough to want cream with your coffee. The editorial "we" (who includes divers individuals who helped cook up this pamphlet at forty-five minutes passed the eleventh hour) feel that the Chronicle should be self-expressive. On Page 1 you will find the Homecoming program, proof that in spite of hell-let-loose the world over, university graduates have cool enough heads and stable enough emotional balance to "Carry On," to borrow a term from the propagandists. Letters from the branches and the short personal items are eloquent witnesses that graduates of the University of B.C. are shouldering their way into the world's limelight. Should any one ask: "What are university men doing for Canada's war effort?" the answer is in newspaper headlines every day. The pages of the Chronicle devoted to men on active service are proof that U.B.C. 's sons aren 't willing to smugly leave the protection of their homes and their homeland to someone else. On Active Service By hundreds they've put on uniforms themselves, some as privates, R.C.A.F. ground crew or craftsmen. The luckier ones have commissions. Most of those whose names you read there gave up brilliant futures, careers they liked because they felt they were needed. The university trained man or woman is intelligent enough to know that no matter what their devotion to their civilian jobs or their homes, each one must play his part in defending these institutions, whether in uniform or civilian war service. When the women's active services were formed, graduates of the University of B.C. were among its first recruits. There arc gaps on these pages, men and women we should have mentioned but didn't. The gaps are eloquent too. They express the complete lack of interest many graduates show in their university and the other men and women they worked and played with on the campus. It's too much bother to them to even write a postcard to the Chronicle telling what they or their friends are doing. But, thanks to the Alumni executive and an industrious band of workers, the Chronicle has come off the presses. Thanks go to Janet Walker, to Phyllis Nemetz, to Norman Hacking (all extremely busy people) for being willing to give up precious bits of time in the making of this graduate record. After the annual meeting, there will be a new Chronicle editor, thank goodness. Please give him or her your support and co-operation if you want to see another issue of this magazine that is our only link with a carefree past. Tuum Est, MARGARET ECKER. Letter to the Editor LOS ANGELES, Calif.—"Heartiest congratulations on your last issue of the Graduate Chronicle. It is far superior to anything the Alumni Association has previously produced, and I earnestly hope that you will be successful in your plan to carry it on as a quarterly. Surely the U.B.C. alumni are now numerous enough and loyal enough to support an alumni publication that will compare with the handsome periodicals of other universities. "As for myself, I am teaching English in the University of Southern California and do some writing whenever I can shake off the lassitude natural to a sub-tropical climate. The record of my nefarious doings is included in the current issue of 'Who's Who in America.' I wonder if I am the first U.B.C. graduate to be admitted into that august volume? "Best wishes for the continued success of the 'Graduate Chronicle'." LIONEL STEVENSON, Arts '22. reasurer s Report During the 1940-41 Alumni Association year there has been an increase in both the annual membership fees paid and in the new life memberships paid. In 1939-40 there were only 195 annual membership fees paid, this was increased during the past year to 215. Needless to say there are a large number of alumni who have paid one or more annual fees in previous years but have been negligent in keeping up their yearly payments. Perhaps they do not realize that they are granted a life membership on the completion of ten consecutive years of membership. Approximately six hundred members are delinquent in this respect. If you are one, and wish to continue receiving the Graduate Chronicle please fill out coupon in this issue with your correct name, etc., and mail with one dollar to the treasurer. In 1939-40 twenty-seven people paid up their life memberships, and in 1940-41 thirty-one have paid life memberships to date. This brings the total life membership to 227. The Alumni Association is growing gradually and growing at a faster rate year by year. Correspondingly the activities and services are increasing and improving. How much we grow and what we accomplish depends largely what assistance you give your executive both financially and otherwise. Let's keep progressing. B. A. ROBINSON, Treasurer. WHAT ARE ALUMNI FEES USED FOR? The Alumni fees are one dollar a year or ten dollars for life membership. Yearly fees paid for ten years in succession comprise life membership. On completion of life membership a blue and gold membership card is issued. These fees are used to defray Chronicle publication and mailing costs together with organization expenses of stationary, membership records, etc., Homecoming and the Alumni tea. Fifty percent of all ten dollar life memberships are set aside in a savings account to be used for bursaries, emergencies or other items at the discretion of the membership. Fees are augmented by profits from the annual Christmas dance and from sale of advertising space in the Chronicle. We can only do what we can finance, so please pay your fees each year and save us expense of individually billing your account. THE GRADUATE CHRONICLE ALUMNI IN UNIFORM MAJOR SHERWOOD LETT ONE of the earliest graduates of the University of B.C., was recently appointed brigade major of the 6th Infantry Brigade overseas. He was first president of the Alma Mater Society. Graduates and undergraduates of the University of British Columbia have joined the armed forces in ever-increasing numbers during the last year. At least 300 graduates are now believed to be on active service, and their number is increasing daily. Women graduates are joining the forces, too, with the establishment of women's auxiliary units. Casualties are inevitable, and as each new name is added to those who have given their lives for King and Country, more and more graduates join up to replace those who have made the supreme sacrifice. The many friends of Pilot Officer Geoffrey de Fylton Mackie of Vernon, were shocked last February to learn that he had been killed when his training plane crashed near Belleville, Ont. He graduated in May 1939, with second class honors in English and history. He was born at Vernon on April 5, 1919, where his father is principal of the Vernon Preparatory School. While on the campus he was a member of the Players' Club and belonged to Alpha Delta Phi fraternity. He played inside three for the 1939 English rugby team, and also played badminton. On March 21, Flying Officer Charles Peers Davidson, 27-year-old son of Mrs. Campbell Davidson and the late Dr. Campbell Davidson of Qualicum Beach, lost his life as the result of air operations with the Royal Air Force. He received his early education at Shaw- nigan Lake School, and graduated from the U.B.C. in 1935. He was a member of Zeta Psi Fraternity. A more recent casualty was Pilot Officer J. A. Quick of Squamish, who was killed in an air accident overseas. He was 23, and attended school at Squamish, before attending U.B.C. His father is superintendent of the P.G.E. Railway. Graduates throughout the province were shocked to hear that Pilot Officer Ralph Henderson, basketball star, was missing in air operations over Germany, but were relieved to hear later that he is a prisoner of war. He went to England in April, and was serving as a navigator in the R.A.F. bomber command.
