In this issue alone—praise goes to—Financier Neil Perry—who will join "some of the world's leading economists"—when he goes to Washington. Sportsman Herb Capozzi—who "creates quite a stir"—when he goes—to the New York Giants. Nina Bedroff—if she goes to Hollywood; Dave Turner gets featured for going to an American university; Lionel Stevenson and F. McKenzie—"my God"—they left Canada over 20 years ago. This is one of the best ways to lend encourage- men to the ever present tendency of the trend to the U.S.A. Canada can ill afford to export her most valuable asset—the people trained in her schools and universities. This childish adulation of the U.S.A. is doing much to keep Canada in her world position as a juvenile. And yet you could not spare 2 pages on 2 of our own loyal citizens—Dr. Ure and Dr. Fraser. Perhaps you should have ended their short obituaries with "Great men—if only they had gone to the U.S.A." AN INTERESTED GRADUATE. 6088 Adera St., Vancouver, B.C., Dear Sir: "The Graduate Chronicle" is a distinct credit to the Association, both in content and style of presentation. The phenomenal growth of our University in the past ten or fifteen years is indeed inspiring, and one cannot but observe with satisfaction the wonderful Extension Department work which has bridged so successfully the gulf that formerly existed between the B.C. taxpayer and the average U.B.C. Graduate. The tremendous enrolment of men and women veterans since war's end is indeed heartening; it is good to feel that the University is able to help them progress from war to the useful arts of Peace!

COVER PICTURE This issue's cover reveals the University of British Columbia's famous campus setting, unequalled anywhere else in the world. . . . The two distinct colours of the water off Varsity Point, which gives the impression that the cover is two pictures, is caused, as is well known by all grads, by the muddy waters of the Fraser River meeting the clear blue of the Gulf of Georgia. 4k^ the Record... One of the most weird and wonderful characters ever to emanate from the Publications office at U.B.C. was Pierre Berton . . . Pierre Berton, self- styled zany, combined a tremendous talent for getting in people's hair with just that little bit of extra talent that made him a valuable man on any publication whether it be magazine or newspaper. . . . After a varied career since graduation in 1942 which included a "stretch" in the army and "terms" on two Vancouver news sheets (the expressions are his), Pierre is headed for Toronto and Maclean's magazine ... he was signed on as an assistant editor by Scott Young of that publication, who apparently knew talent when he saw it. . . . Incidentally the gal Pierre is interviewing in the picture on page 9 is the bit of goods who appeared at the State Theatre as the "Hubba Hubba Girl" ... she is the one who insured her bosom for $10,000 . . . vital to her business she said. . . . Read the letter to the editor on page 5 which criticizes the Chronicle for praising B. C. grads who go to the United States . . . then read the editorial on page 17 ... by the way, that unsigned letter couldn't have been from one of our notorious Rhodes Scholars, could it? . . . Then and Now, appearing on page 10 and 11 of this issue was an ambitious effort that somehow didn't jell as the editorial staff anticipated . . . still it is interesting- to see what some of our illustrious grads looked like when they trod the mall. . . . Our grade are going Arty all over the place these days and including Sidney Risk, Beverly Wilson and Aileen Coucleugh we could almost start a theatre or film colony here anytime . . . which one of you people are going to join Mary McLeod first in Hollywood? . . . This magazine would not be complete without reference somewhere to the Honourable Denis Murphy, former U.B.C. Governor, who died a short while back at the age of 76. . . . Mr. Justice Murphy, long regarded as one of the finest judges ever to sit on a British Columbia bench, gave untiringly to help the University . . . we owe him a great deal for his support through the early years. . . . Pat Dorrance, the good-looking girl on page 19, is none too sure that she wants that trip to Paris as guest editor for Vogue . . . Pat is anxious to write and edit for House and Garden and actually isn't interested in women's fashions at all . . . but as both magazines are Conde Nast publications, she feels she'll eventually work around to her favorite field . . . brother, just offer me a trip to Paris . . . (quiet, you Canadian Scottish) . . . Winding up we'd just like to wish Art Sager the best in his new job at C.B.C. referred to in the article at page 26 ... if ever there was a hard, pleasant worker, it is Arthur ... he helped us on the Chronicle no end, and we appreciate it . . . by the way, the exam results from U.B.C. were delayed so long that in releasing them to the local dailies Art had to stay up all one night to do it. . . . Frank Turner met him about 8:30 in the morning coming out of the gymnasium, where he had had a shower . . . "Can't talk," said Art, "got to be at work by quarter to nine."

Thus, student veterans now number considerably more than the total pre-war enrolment of all universities in Canada. A breakdown of the above figure reevals there are 16,000 veterans in their first year, 12,000 in second year, 4,000 to third year. 2,000 in fourth, and 1,000 post-graduate courses. In addition, 800 Canadian veterans are studying in the U.S. and 200 in Britain with DVA assistance. In the fall of 1942 there were only 24 veterans in Canadian universities, in 1943 the figure was 73, in 1944 it was 516, and in 1945 the total had jumped to 14,348. (leadtf, to.

SUN LIFE OF CANADA Page 8 Graduate Chronicle PIERRE BERTON ASSISTANT EDITOR FOR MACLEANS LEAVES NEWSPAPER By ED NOMRO, '42 Pierre Berton, a lanky, sandy haired UBC graduate (Arts '41), who says he's been in the newspaper business, of and on, since the age of 12, is finally leaving it for the more rewarding field of magazine writing. A former Ubyssey senior editor, Pierre leaves Vancouver on June 1 for Toronto, (graveyard of many a staunch Vancouverito) where he'll be assistant editor of MacLean's Magazine. Pierre has moved about the country leaving a trail of newspapers in his wake, ever since he ran two high school papers in Victoria (both strictly unofficial, both frowned on by school authorities). In a Yukon mining camp .where he earned university fees, Pierre started another paper— almost got fired for caricaturing one of the higher brass. This sort of thing has become perennial with him by now. His paper, "Torch," at the Chilliwack Army camp, for example, was suppressed after Berton wrote an editorial criticizing the Army Show for playing to too many civilians. Berton edited two other army papers in his spare time (he was an Infantry lieutenant). These periodicals, Rookie at Vernon, and The Blitz, at Brock- ville, both ended happily. At UBC, Berton tangled editorially with the Students' Council, sororities and fraternities, the Players' Club (he gave the Christmas Plays a traditional bad review) and Phrateres. It's on the record, too, that on other occasions, Pierre staunchly came to the support of all these organizations. SKIPPED LECTURES He changed the make-up of the campus newspaper, wrote an unprintable song, "The Illegitimate Children of the Publications Board," argued loud and long at AMS meetings, won a debate on "whether or not the Ubyssey wras worth while, gave a weekly news broadcast for the Radio Society, had his picture taken imitating an ape walking over the UBC Library, and skipped most of his lectures to work as senior editor of the Ubyssey. (Berton always claimed he got his highest marks in the subjects which he skipped completely, once wrote a letter to a downtown paper condemning the whole scholastic system on this basis.) Pierre was a campus correspondent for the Vancouver "News-Herald, and on graduation in 1941 went to work on the News-Herald city desk. By August he was city editor at 21 years—the youngest in Canada. Eight months later he was a private in the army. Berton returned from the army some four years later and went to work for the Vancouver Sun, writing on the side for a variety of magazines and doing considerable free lance radio work. Often in his free lancing Berton unashamedly bit the journalistic hand which fed him. He wrote two satirical pieces about the newspaper business June, 1947 BIZ. FOR MAGAZINE FIELD Berton Interviews "Hubba Hubba" Girl for the Montreal Standard, which he illustrated himself with cartoons, alternately glamorized and pooh-poohed newspapers in his weekly broadcast, "City Desk" ((on CBC's western network). Last January he wrote and acted in a half hour radio play, "By-Line Story," a cynical drama intended to depict the futility of being a newspaperman. HEADLESS VALLEY Berton evidently took his own play to heart because four months later he was ready to leave for the lush magazine fields of the East. In the meantime, however, he had talked the Sun into sending him on an 18-day excursion to the "Headless Valley" of the South Nahanni River. To the Sun's surprise (and Berton's) the story turned out to be what newspapermen call "a natural." Berton's enthusiastic accounts of cold and hardship, of mercy flights and northern mayhem, made several hundred United States and Canadian front pages daily. International News Service, who bought it for a song, labelled it the "greatest real life adventure story of the year," presented the Sun with an illuminated parchment saying as much. At 26 Berton is unperturbed by the fact that he'll be the youngest assistant editor on MacLean's. He's glad of the change for he says "I was getting stale-" (Continued on Page 28) Page 9 HILKER IN '34 DR. WARREN, 1947 NOW and SPRINTER OF '28 Successful Grads Agre« Encouraging to young Graduates of U.B.C. is the fact that most of our prominent older grads, who are well established in prominent businesses and professions, are well satisfied with the course they took in life—including as it did their years at the University. This, by no means startling information, reveals that if a young man or woman sets her mind on a goal while attending U.B.C. and holds to it, the chances are that that person will be happy with the result. Typical of the successful University of B.C. Alumnus is Dr. Harry V. Warren, who was as well known back in the days of '26 for his athletic prowess as he is known today for his knowledge of things Mining in B. C. A Rhodes Scholar and a Sprint star who represented Canada in the 1928 Olympics, Dr. Warren is a most happy man. Nothing in the world would suit him better than his present position as a combination practical and theoretical mining engineer. To him lectwwg and doing research in the winter and prospecting in the summer represents an exciting and satisfying life. Dr. Warren believes that "As far as I can see, the most important thing is to have a definite aim in view and keep plugging towards it as hard as you can." "If you like what you're doing, you'll make it." A. E. "Dal' Grauer, who majored in economics and minored in history and then went on to study law, has recently reached the pinnacle of business achievement in B. C. by being made President of the B. C. Electric Railway Co. at the age of 41. To Mr. Grauer there io set Page 10 The Graduate Chronicle . . LOOKING BACK THEN. . . Success Starts in College formula for achieving business success, but if it comes it must come from thorough preparation. "Prepare yourself for your work as well as possible. Then work hard as you can . . . and wait for the breaks." Former Olympic lacrosse player, Dal Grauer did just that himself ... a high scholastic record, top-flight athletic ability and infinite patience was finally rewarded . . . his is adjudged as one of the top executive positions in Canada. Grauer's formula naturally depends upon the ability accurately to appreciate the scope of the job to be tackled. As an example of the necessity to appreciate the task, Gordon Hilker was confronted with the problem of what is required to Make Vancouver an outstanding centre of concert art appreciation. Mr. Hilker's reply is couched in terms of courageous and aggressive action by artistic leaders. "I am convinced that most of our artistic projects are conceived with too limited a scope and usually fall far short of what the public wants and expects. We need more daring, impudence if you like, in our plans which will dramatize cultural activity, create enthusiasm, and thus expand public participation." Is Mr. Hilker, happy in his work? Ex-player's Club member Hilker, wouldn't do anything else. Analysing the dominant factor contributing to success, these graduates unanimously agree that preparation comes first. The results will usually follow accordingly. EXECUTIVE OF '47 .

The purpose of this scholarship is to assist young Canadians to further their training in the dramatic arts. This year, the scholarship has been awarded to Miss Beverley Wilson of Nanaimo. Miss Wilson, who is entering her fourth year, is taking a double Honours Course in English and has been one of the most outstanding students on the Campus. During the past three years, Miss Wilson has been a very active member of the U.B.C. Players' Club, both as a talented actress and as a member of the Executive. She held the position of President of the Club in 1946-47. Her interpretation of Katherine in "The Taming of the Shrew" was one of the most notable performances of the Players' Club productions during the last few years. As the mother, Mrs. Pettigrew, in the play Berkeley Square, Miss Wilson showed great histrionic ability and dramatic insight. Miss Wilson has also been a very able Assistant Director for several of the Players' Club Christinas productions. Two years ago,' Miss Wilson was granted a scholarship to the Banff Summer School of the Theatre. She holds the A.T.C.M. in speech. Miss Wilson hopes to make teaching and directing in the theatre her vocation. The Summer School of the Theatre, 1947, is to be under the directorship of Mr. Theodore Viehman of Tulsa, Oklahoma. The Players' Club Alumni is confident that the opportunity that the Scholarship will give to Miss Wilson to study under the able insruction of Mr. Viehman will prove of value to her in her chosen vocation. .... BEVERLEY WILSON Miss Wilson's ability and achievements give every promise that she will make a real and vital contribution to the Canadian Theatre in the future. CHARLES D. MAUNSELL Charles D.

Ala, who was an exchange teacher in the Old Country, and a B.A. graduate of '41, is now a wireless operator aboard a merchant ship somewhere between the Persian Gulf and the South Pacific. She was shipped home to B.C. after a year's teaching in war-time England to rest up. While back here, Ala became restless as she improved in health and decided to take a course in wireless. Then, after conquering the Alorse code and "Mersigs," she and a class-mate slipped down to Oregon for the christening of "Captain Worsoe," a tanker. Aboard her first ship, crew-member McLean probably accumulated more than a few "salty dips" to tell the skeptical. The "Worsoe" came through numerous war zones and lurking Nazi submarines without accident, but not without incident. Leaving the "Worsoe," Ala signed on another ship—one which she now describes as the "Mystery Ship." It was a mystery to the crew how they were ever discovered in the middle of nowhere, drifting along in ominous silence. The engine had given out and the wireless wouldn't work because of a lack of parts which had been unobtainable. Back once more in the Old Land, the nautical Miss McLean took the traditional brief break and then again "picked up a ship." In a recent letter to her mother in Vancouver, she told her she planned to "put ashore" there this year some time before Christmas. And if she returns to her classroom then, she is certain to stress the gender of pronouns. You can hear her now explaining . . . "and it should read 'the women who go down to sea in ships.'

They were posted to India as missionaries of the United Church supported by the Young People's Union of Vancouver. After two years in Central India, Art enlisted and took officer's training at G.H.Q. in Delhi. He was sent as a Padre to the Arakon coast of Burma and was with the British troops when they entered Rangoon. He tells that the Japanese had evacuated Rangoon before the British arrived and that in the intervening time the natives had looted everything in the city including the Reserve Bank and the rice stores. In places the street was kneedeep in paper money, now valueless, and in places it was strewn with rice damp from tropical rains. The Dobsons took passage home on the Troop Ship S.S. Marine Adder, which brought them from Bombay to San Francisco in 30 days. Una was the winner of the Women's Senior Solo Competition at the B.C. Musical Festival in Vancouver. In June Art will be in the Kootenays and the Okanagan on a speaking tour, and in the fall the Dobson family hopes to go east for graduate study. William Dixon, '43, is now in Chicago working for a Doctor of Social Service. His wife, Margaret Harkness, '39, is working for Chicago Social Service.

Wirght is chief accountant with the steel, iron and coal firm of Butterley Company, Derbyshire, England. William M. Mercer, youthful president of the firm bearing his name, has given employment to "almost a decade of UBC graduates," and is described as "one of the most outstanding successes of recent commerce graduates." Among graduates in local industry are Eric Turnill, employment manager for B.C. Packers; Harry Berry, comptroller, Seaboard Lumber Sales; Donald Grant, secretary-treasurer, Vancouver Machinery Depot; Harold B. Pearson, manager, Del- nor Frosted Foods Ltd. Howard F.

June, 1947 Page 15 SPORT By LUKE MOYLS The Thunderbirds took a back seat to another local hoop aggregation this year, namely the Mera- lomas who went on to the Canadian championship. But since the team was composed almost entirely of U. B. C. grads, the alums were plenty proud of them. Many grads watched the 'Lonias wend their way to the title, especially at the final and deciding game against Windsor's Assumption College, played at the campus gym Tuesday night, April 29. The scene was reminiscent of former days when Varsity won the Dominion casaba crown. Former Thunderbird players included Sandy Robertson, Jimmy Bardsley, Hunk Henderson, Ron Weber, Ole Bakken, Bud McLeod, and a former U.B.C. rugger star, Lloyd Williams. Two others are members of U.B.C.'s P.E. Department, namely Jack Pomfret and Ivor Wynne. The only player not connected with U.B.C. was voting Bob Burtwell, but he expects to enter Varsity this fall, thus boosting U.B.C.'s stock in the Northwest Basketball Conference. Although the 1947 Thunderbird cagers weren't as sensational as the '46 quintet which won the conference championship, they did much better than many fans expected. Coach Bob Osborne's charges chalked up a respectable record and finished in a tie for second place with College of Puget Sound's Loggers. Orchids to Hunk Henderson for his part (no small one) in organizing and handling Meralomas thruogh their successful season . . . Cy Lee, Frank McAlpine and Bob Osborne, all members of the 1931 Canadian Championship Varsity Club, were among the Meraloma followers . . . Bardsley and Henderson both played for the Thunderbird team that won the title in" 1937. A new athletic event has been introduced at U.B.C.—the First Annual Athletic Awards Banquet was held at the Hotel Vancouver April 8 . . . . Johnny Wheeler, outstanding scrum half for the Thunderbird ruggers for the past four years, was named winner of the Bobby Gaul Memorial Trophy.

In the first game he took five wickets for 64 runs against an eleven which included seven county game he scored 77 players not out. He is now one of twenty in the final list from which the eleven will be selected. To represent his University is the highest honour that can be bestowed on an amateur cricketer in England. Basil's feats with bat and ball are well remembered here. He scored many centuries for Varsity and was always well up among the leading bowlers. An all-round athlete, he played soccer with Canadian champion North Shore Reds and for Varsity rugger teams. (Ed. note)—Late word reveals that Baz Robinson was selected to play on the first team at Oxford and thus becomes the first Canadian ever to achieve that honour.) U.B.C.'s golf team wound up their tour of the Pacific Northwest with four wins and two losses to their credit.

Canada is an exporting country and usually when we have a favorable "balance of trade" as the economic expression goes, the experts are happy. But when it's manpower we are exporting even the most casual thinkers know that the loss is ours. All trade balances aren't reckoned in plain dollars and cents. What makes the situation even more depressing is the fact that the bulk of the people migrating to the United States are university trained personnel. The United States has a tremendous demand for highly trained university graduates. And each year hundreds of our engineers, business graduates, artists, and other professional persons, who are poorly rewarded in this country, cross the line, eventually to become Americans. The far away fields of American life not only look greener, they are greener. Even weighing the difference between American and Canadian salaries to University graduates with the cost of living index, there is still no comparison. American industrial and business men believe in paying their help a living wage to start with, while many of our more conservative-minded employers offer ridiculously low salaries to the graduate. ADVANCEMENT FASTER Further, the opportunity for advancement is much greater in the United States. The Americans believe in pushing young men and women ahead fast and if they show talent for leadership and responsibility these young people are put right to the top. It is commonplace south of the border to find top executives running organizations while they are still in their early or middle thirties. In Canada it is the exception to find men under 40 holding key positions. The colleges of this country are doing all they can for Canada. Their graduates are world famous and foreign business concerns jump at the opportunity of employing Canadian graduates. Our standards are high and the finished graduate is usually a capable person. WThat then is the source of the trouble? Part of the blame, of course, lies in the ultra- conservative banking system which apparently goes all out to protect the depositor but overlooks its ORMONDE HALL most important function of supplying liberal credit 10 develop a young, naturally rich country. A prominent businessman recently said the banks are strangling incentive in Canada. His suggestion would be for 15 or 20 young trained men to form a bank with a capital of five to 10 million dollars and operate along the lines of the fabulous Giannini of San Francisco. Liberal credit and a progressive policy would feed needed dollars into the neglected western provinces and provide jobs that would keep our young people at home in Canada. This is, of course, impossible under our present banking laws. POPULATION NEEDED This country also needs a greater population. The West particularly is under-populated and until the sparseness is filled up, industry and business cannot get going for lack of a home market. And as long as that situation exists, there will not be enough high paying jobs here to take care of our top graduates. Some have suggested that there is a patriotic duty on the part of our University people to stay home and help develop their own country rather than succumb to the lure of "big money" in the United States. However, this argument is hardly likely to appeal to a young scientist who is offered something in the nature of $150 a month here and $300 a month in the U.S.A. A young man who has struggled to put himself through a Canadian college and in the process has denied himself most of the pleasures of living, will not be likely to turn down the opportunity of obtaining a good job, a home, a car and the chance of rapid advancement in the United States in the face of a meagre Canadian job offer. An anonymous letter writer, whose letter appears on Page 5 of this issue of the Chronicle, berates the Chronicle for concentrating on U.B.C. graduates who migrate to the United States. He says this publication apparently only reveres graduates who go to Hollywood, New York or Washington. It's sad to admit, but the fact is many of our better graduates ARE leaving Canada. And in the face of tremendous wage and living discrepancies, who can blame them. June, 1947 Page 17 Sidney (ItiJz and the "Cv&ufman ^UeaUe ff Sydney Risk is back in Vancouver at the conclusion of the first touring season of The Everyman Theatre. Most U.B.C. graduates are familiar with Sydney's achievement in |'<j theatre. Since 1939, as Drama Director as the University of Alberta, he has taken a leading part in the development of a Canadian theatre. Last summer he resigned his position to realize a dream of nearly twenty years old—the creation of a true Canadian repertory theatre. SIDNEY RISK Now Western Canada's first professional repertory Company has completed its first tour, extending from Victoria to Winipeg, of 128 performances. Eighty of these were in British Columbia. The tour has shown that there is, without doubt, a desire for legitimate theatre in Western Canada. Everywhere the company was enthusiastically received and eagerly asked to come again. The heavy upkeep and travelling expenses of such an undertaking and the severe weather made costs high. But dr. m. e. McGregor wins fellowship A University of B. C. graduate of 1930, Dr. Malcolm F. McGegor of University of Cincinnati history department has been announced as a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship winner. Dr. McGregor, who during 1937 and 1938 wrote the first volume of an ancient history, "The Athenian Tribute Lists," in collaboration with an Oxford professor and Princeton Insittute research historian plans to use his fellowship for production of a second volume on the topic.

The Everyman actors for its first season were recruited from all over Canada. The East was rap- resented by Drew Thompson from Ottawa. Two stalwarts of the company who carried particularly heavy loads in addition to their acting chores were Stage Manager Floyd Caza from Saskatoon, and Lois McLean of Edmonton, Assistant Business Manager. Of the five from Vancouver, Peggy Has- sard, Arthur Hill and Shirley Kerr are former U.B.C. Players' Club actors while the others are Edward McNamara and David Major. Directors Sydney Risk, Dorothy Somerset and Lacey Fisher are busy with plans for the coming season. They are looking for a permanent Vancouver home for the company, now dispersed until midsummer. They are working on the problem of increased acting strength and adequate business organization. The company has had all year a studio group of actors in training who will be seen in the fall repertoire in a production to be directed by Dorothy Somerset. The directors plan a much more extensive program in Vancouver next season with the whole work of the theatre concentrated more in British Columbia. The company will have, too, a large number of plays in its repertoire. Shakespeare, Shaw and Ibsen will probably all be represented.

Page 19 * WOMEN * By MARY FALLIS HELEN GREGORY MACGILL Our University is young enough to be marking only now the passing of the generation of citizens who brought it into being. It was to do honor to one of these, HELEN GREGORY MACGILL. B.A., M.A., Mus.. Bac, LL.D. that a memorial service was held in the University library on Sunday, May 4. Presentation of Dr. MacGill's LL.D. robes was made to the university by her three children, Eric Gregory F 1 e s he r , Helen Gregory Hughes, and Elsie Gregory Soulsby who had come to Vancouver for the occasion. Mrs. MacGill's mother had been forbidden to learn Latin in the schoolroom. She was to see her daughter granted by special permission the first B.A. ever given to a woman by Trinity College, Toronto. Later in life after completing a course in Law, and occupying herself with journalism, with marriage and the rearing of her children, Helen Gregory MacGill became a Judge. And in the province where she lived the university honoured her by conferring upon her the first LL.D. it had ever granted to a woman. The Hon. Justice Manson gave the address in which he recognized the contribution made to society by Dr. MacGill, using her skill as a journalist. her knowledge of law, her influence in such women's groups as the University Women's Club and its Committee for Better Laws of which she was the chairman. She roused the public and the government to take those steps necessary to enact laws for improved conditions for women and children. Her other interests were numerous: Women's Building, Classes on Public Speaking and Conducting of Public Meetings, numerous women's organizations, her church, and the university. In closing, Justice Manson paid tribute to her children, now distinguished in their own fields: Eric Flesher, Forrestry Engineer, Elsie Soulsby, Canada's only woman Aeronautical Engineer, and Helen Hughes —graduate of Arts '25. Ph.D.—and now an author. and a member of the Department of Sociology of the University of Chicago. Presentation of the Tablet in memory of Judge MacGill was made by the Vancouver Women's University Club at the time of their Fortieth Anniversary celebrations. The charter members of this organization were called together in 1907 by Dr. Evelyn Farris, its first president. Most of its members joined Convocation when the University of B. C. was established. Dean M. L. Bollert and Dr. Isabel Maclnnes were among its presidents and were our own alumni. Mrs. Sherwood Lett (Evelyn Story, Arts '17), Airs. H. F .Angus (Anne Anderson, Arts '23) and Airs.

MISS JANET GREIG, M.A., was presented recently with the Medal of the Alliance Francaise from General P. Guillain de Benouville as a mark of esteem for ker long services in the cause of French culture. She had previously been made Officer D'Academi avec Palmes Academique. REV. NORAH HUGHES, M.A., B.D., Ph.D., one of the few women to be ordained as a minister of the United Church, has been called by the Board of Whonnock, Hatzic, Clayburn, and Dewdney to a pastoral charge beginning July 1. ELSPETH LEHMANN YOUNG, '34 has returned to Vancouver with her daughter Rosalyn before taking up residence in New York where her husband is a Kemsley correspondent. After graduation she taught five years, then obtained a degree in Library Science from Toronto and worked on the Toronto Public Library Staff. In September, 1944, she was appointed librarian and research assistant of the LTnited Nations Information Office in London, England. Prior to travelling by clipper to England to take up her duties she spent a month in U.N.I.O.'s New York office in Rockefeller Cen- rte. U.N.I.O. was responsible for the press and public relations work of the first session of the United Nations Assembly in London, and its staff became the nucleus of the UN's London headquarters when it was set up.

Regional Director Ira Dilworth speaking to the largest graduating class in U.B.C.'s 32-year history, assembled in the Commodore for the traditional Convocation Banquet. To many Alumni, it was like old times to hear exquisite English, and to see a complete picture illustrated by the poetic pen. For those former members of English 1 and 17 classes, Mr. Dilworth had lost none of his power to make poetry live and to create a desire to live a little better life. All of the '47 classes had been impressed by the welcome extended by U.B.C.'s Chancellor, the Hon. Eric Hamber. After officially wishing them every success, the Chancellor, urged the new grads, as members of Convocation, to remain actively interested in Senate representatives, and he urged them also to become affiliated with the Alumni Association. NOTES: Your Secretary-Manager again travelled with the U.B.C. Players' Club through the Interior this spring. Glad to report that, as ever, the play (this year Sir James Barrie's "What Every Woman Knows") was well received. Not without incident, however . . . Jim Argue ("David"), accompanied by Tour Manager Gerry Williamson, Carol Aikins and yours truly, spoke in several Kamloops school classrooms for a few minutes about the play. Jim was stumped in one. Not a French scholar, he was introduced by the teacher in French and the same language used by the teacher in speaking of the play. Mr. Argue wound up giving his "few words" in the Scotch dialect of the play. . . .

Of all the Summerland Alumni, probably no one had a "bigger time" than Walter Charles (B.S.A. '37), at the Performance. Walter obligingly hurried away for a necessary pair of slippers when the cast's pair couldn't be found. On return backstage with them, he discovered that the play had started and "David" was wearing the "regulars" on-stage. On being permitted to stay backstage, Walter became a very useful member of Dick Clifford's stage crew! . . Met with Summerland President A. K.

IB MARTIi\ NORTON IS TOP HORSEWOMM TO BREED "PALOMINOS" ON CALIFORNIA RANCH By PEGGY RANDALL Friends of Doreen Martin Norton, Arts '41, are happy to hear that Doreen is a Vancouver resident for a few months. Difficulties encountered in the pursuit of our subject were several, and it was our astonishing luck when she turned up right under our very noses. Doreen Martin left U.B.C. and headed south to Stanford for two years study, polo and writing for equine publications. Both north and south of the border she is rated as a top horsewoman. This certainly has been proven in Vancouver show rings, where she has given excellent performances both as a rider and as a judge. During these two years she took time out for a Harvard summer session of journalism. January, 1942, Doreen married Lt. Bob Norton of the United States navy, and a series of journeys about the continent commenced, with Norfolk, Boston and San Diego included in the itinerary. Animals have been ever all important in the Nortons' schedule of events — not only horses, but dogs and cats. An epic trip in all languages was motoring across the continent accompanied by cats. We have been requested not to detail this, but Doreen did comment, "Cats are very temperamental." Animals present a novel aspect to the Norton housing problem. Instead of "How many rooms or what is the rent," the question is, "Will it be alright for the dogs?" For some years Doreen's articles have been enjoyed by readers of many American publica- ^' tions and particularly the "Blood Horse" and "The Thoroughbred of California." At this moment she is deeply involved in compiling a book on the Palomino—California's golden horse. Travelling, along with dogs and cats, go great quantities of files, small boxes, simply labelled "Palominos." Doreen has visited all the famous stud farms, ranches and riding stables in the United States. Not only does she write authoritatively about these places and their horses, but her expert photographic exploits may be seen in practically any horse magazine on a news stand. She is at the same time the fortunate possessor of one of the largest and most valuable equine libraries in North America. (See December. 1946, January, February, 1947 "Thoroughbred of California"). In spite of her skill in riding, jumping and polo, Doreen's true love is the Thoroughbred horse. The Nortons have great plans for raising these magnificent animals on their newly purchased Rancho Santa Fe in southern California. "I'll have a riding horse too," said our future horse breeder, "but our Juke, 1947 purpose in life will be producing foals which one day we'll see whisking down the back stretch at Santa Anita galloping far in the lead." We don't contest the success of this venture whatsoever, knowing Doreen's wealth of knowledge and the dynamic enthusiasm behind the scheme. We only hope that we may be at the track some time when the Norton colours are in evidence, and we'll risk a wager on the steed that spent his early days frisking and cavorting about at Rancho Santa Fe. fyine,tf.44Sib... 423 West Hastings Street Page 23 f*J BRANCHES ^> NEW ALUMNI CHAPTER IN TORONTO GREETS U.B.C. President Norman MacKenzie at inaugural luncheon Formation of a new and permanent chapter of the U.B.C. Alumni Association in Toronto has been effected at a luncheon meeting held by U.B.C. graduates in the Royal York Hotel in honour of Dr. N. A. M. MacKenzie. Fifty graduates attended the luncheon and heard Dr. MacKenzie describe the post-war expansion of their Alma Mater. This was the first official gathering of the new Alumni Branch which had been disbanded during the war. A committee was elected to draw up a constitution and to make plans for an annual meeting in June at which time a permanent executive for the 1947-48 season will be elected. Mr. Doug Durkin, public relations official for the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, was elected chairman of the pro tern committee. Others elected to the committee were: John Sumner, J. T. Wilkinson, Elliot Creelman, Mrs. Nora Michener and Dr. Robert Thompson. VERNON Vernon Branch of the Alumni has adopted its constitution. Complete executive now includes: President, Hilda Cryderman; Vice-President, George Falconer; Secretary, Anna Fulton; Treasurer, Bill Mathers. OTTAWA By NORA BOYD Three U.B.C. grads are now at Ottawa University taking medicine. They are John B. Murphy, Walter Kazun and William Hoffman. May 10, Victor Johnston (Comm. '44) married Margaret Morgan (Comm. '45), in Ottawa. The reception was at the Chateau Laurier and there were quite a number of U.B.C. people there. When President Norman McKenzie, Professor Angus and Professor Chant were here in the middle of March, the Alumni had a luncheon in their honor at the Chateau. There were 70 grads there of approximately 150 U.B.C. graduates in Ottawa. SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA Second group of University of British Columbia graduates in Southern California will be organized shortly by Lionel Stevenson, a former organizer of the northern California group. He is well known in Canada and United States as author of "Showman of Vanity Fair," recent best-seller on the life of Thackeray. Nucleus of the southern group will be Mrs. Dorothy Adams Foulger, Mrs. Lillian Locklin Nicholas, Guy Corfield and Fred Hartley, all U.B.C. graduates. Page 24 The Graduate Chronicle (*J BRANCHES *%> NORTHERN CALIFORNIA GROUP FORMED IN BERKELEY On April 15, a group of alumni met at the residence of Mr. Harold Offord in Berkeley, California, for the purpose of organizing a U.B.C. alumni chapter. Those present were Harold Offord (24), Percy Barr (24), Ray Parker (25), I. Michael Lerner (31), Harold E. Bramston-Cook (24), Douglas Smith (44), John Kask (28) (by proxy), and Lester McLennan (22). General details pertinent to the organization were discussed and it was agreed to act through an interim committee until the organization was properly publicized and permanent officers could be elected—probably this next fall. The group unanimously agreed that it would be logically appropriate to restrict its activities to U.B.C. alumni in Northern California, which includes San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, Richmond, San Jose, Palo Alto, Salinas, Petaluma, Santa Rosa, Vellejo, Sacramento, Stockton, Bakersfield, etc. It was thought that two principal meetings during the year might be appropriate. One in the spring on the occasion of the visit of the U.B.C. rugby team to Berkeley and a second in the autumn to serve both as an annual homecoming and as a welcome to alumni newly arriving in the area for graduate work or permanent residence. In addition to those alumni permanently resident in Northern California, membership will include U.B.C. graduates on the campus of the universities (California and Stanford). Those who completed at least 15 units at U.B.C. are also eligible for membership. The interim committee would appreciate receiving from Chronicle readers and others the names and addresses of any U.B.C. alumni who are known to be resident in California and who would be eligible for membership in the chapter. This interim committee is constituted as follows: Mr. Ted English, International House, Berkeley. Dr. Percy Barr, Dept. of Forestry, University of Calif., Berkeley, California. Mr. Lester W. McLennan, 2619 Yuba Ave., Richmond, Calif. Names and addresses of alumni resident in Southern California (Los Angeles and San Diego areas) should be forwarded to Dr. Lionel Stevenson, 3971 Sutro Ave., Los Angeles 43, California. Further detailed information on the Northern California chapter can be obtained from Mr. Frank Turner, Secretary-Manager of the U.B.C. alumni association. NOTICE . The American Alumni Councli will hold its annual convention at San Francisco July 11-14, at the Mark Hopkins Hotel. A delegation headed by President Darrell T. Braidwood and Frank Turner, Alumni Secretary- Manager, will represent the University of B. C. All interested in accompanying the U.B.C. group to San Francisco should contact Frank Turner before June 15 in order to get hotel reservations. KELOWNA: By RUTH HIND After being defunct for several years, the Kelowna branch of the Alumni Association was revived this year. It now has an active membership of fifteen and the executive elected consists of: President: Les Wilson. Vice-President: Mrs. Richard Stirling. Secretary: Ruth Hind. Treasurer: Monty Fotheringham. Meetings are held monthly in the homes of the different members, taking the form of a business meeting followed by a cultural and social evening. One of the highlights of our activities took place in May when the Kelowna group in conjunction with the Rotary Club, held a reception for the visiting U.B.C. Players Club. About sixty Alums were present recalling memories of U.B.C. and singing the good old songs and yells. KIMBERLEY By R. M.

(Continued on Page 29) June, 1947 Page 25 ARTHUR SAGER LEAVES UNIVERSITY PUBLIC RELATIONS FOR RADIO POSITION WITH C.B.C. By FRANK TURNER Arthur Sager. U. B. C.'s first and tremendously effective Publicity Director during the past two years, leaves the University shortly to take up a new position as Talks Producer for C.B.C. in Vancouver. He hasn't been everywhere and done everything, this man of versatility, geniality and loyalty, but he has made considerable progress along both these lines. Born in Hazelton in 1916 and bred at U. B. C. (B.A. '38), Art Sager has crowded a great deal of experience into a short span of years. A synopsis of Sager's career shows that besides taking an Honours course in English and Philosophy, Art played on the Blue and Gold soccer team and appeared in three straight Spring Productions of the Players' Club, one as the male lead "Brontes" (1936). One week after graduation, Dr. Sager's second son signed on with a Norwegian freighter as "dekksgut" (deck hand), and the fall of that year found him in London . . . brake. Art landed a job as a cub reporter on the famed Daily Mirror and later transferred to their Manchester office. Heeding the call of the stage again, Art joined .Shakespeare and Company. The Company (not Shakespeare) went bankrupt 6 weeks later. After another few days of odd jobs, he became a member of the Repertory Company in Kent and stayed with them until war was declared. He attempted to join the R.A.F. but lacking a birth certificate, he failed, so he boarded a ship back to Canada. . ART SAGER The University of British Columbia WANTED Several instructors in Civil Engineering are required for Academic Session 1947-48. Salaries approximately $200.00 per month. Apply to: Dean of Applied Science, The University of British Columbia, Vancouver, B. C. A short time later found him teaching in St. George's School in Vancouver, then at Fairbridge Farm School—anxiously awaiting approval of his application to join the R.C.A.F. Later came a short stretch as a "mucker" in Britannia Mines, and teaching in high schools in New Westminster and Burnaby. He was finally admitted to the R.EC.A.F. in early '41 and went overseas at the end of that year, being one of the original members of the famous Red Indian (Spitfire) squadrons. Later appointed Flight Commander in the City of Oshawa Squadron under Commander Chadburn and wound up as Commanding Officer of the Hornet Squadron. Returning to Canada in May '45, Art was wandering around the campus in his post-discharge leave period, thinking about enrolling for his M.A., when Dr. MacKenzie and the University Administration succeeded in persuading him to think about taking on a new job as U.B.C.'s Publicity Director. During the past two years in that position, Art's personality, perseverance and fine relations with press, public and faculty have resulted in more news of and about LT.B.C appearing in newspapers, magazines and on the radio than in any other ten-year period. His average working day in that period has been close to twelve hours, according to friends. (His attractive wife, Dorothy, and 15-month-old son Eric ("Gymnasium") believe 22 hours would be a closer estimate.) Somehow he found time to appear in Players' Club Alumni productions, as well as to take the male lead ("John") in last Summer's Vancouver- produced "Roberta" in the Theaire Under the Stars. Art recently returned from London, Ontario where he played the important role of "Inspector Rough" in B.C.'s entry ("Angel Street") in the Dominion Drama Festival there. No—he hasn't been everywhere, nor done everything, and if you suggested that he has a wonderful war record (D.F.C) or that he was a likeable and efficient chap, well, he'd switch the topic of conversation on you just as fast as he could to cover his embarassment. He might even momentarily lapse into the character of Roberta's "John" with an involuntary . . . "Aw Shucks . . ."

The new three-year training plan which will produce thoroughly qualified officers for the Canadian Army, Active and Reserve, is now underway at the University. This new program, recently announced by Army Headquarters, Ottawa, is designed to assist in filling the Army requirements for the task of National Defence. It is estimated that 150 University-trained officers are required annually for the Active Force of the Canadian Army. Approximately 1000 more are required annually for the Reserve Force. In order to meet this demand and in order to tap profitably the best source of potential officer material, the Canadian Army, in consultation with LTniversity authorities throughout the Dominion, has devised a comprehensive scheme of training in which undergraduates can participate during their University careers. At the regimental level the new program marks a distinct departure from preceding C.O.T.C. policies and calls for the appointment of a Permanent Force Resident Staff Officer at each university. This officer is required to be a graduate of the Canadian Army Staff and, when possible, a graduate of the university to which he is posted. Lieutenant-Colonel R. P». McDougall (Arts '34) has been appointed to the UBC Contingent to be responsible as Resident Staff Officer for much of the instruction on Military Subjects and to act as Staff Officer to the Commanding Officer of the UBC Contingent, Lieutenant-Colonel R. W. Bonner (Arts '42). Two phases of training are set out in the new plan : First, during his academic year the student will attend a minimum of 40 hours at lectures devoted to Military History. Military Geography. Military Economics and Military Science. Secondly. (luring summer vacation the .student will attend an Active Force Training Centre for 3X/Z to 4 months, depending upon the Arm of the Service to which he belongs. If he attends two such summer camps and two winters of Local Headquarters Training, the student will be qualified on graduation as a Lieutenant in the Reserve Force. If he attends the full course, which is three summer training periods and three winters of Local Headquarters Training, the student will be qualified on graduation as a Captain in the Reserve Force or as a Lieutenant in the Active Force. During all this training the student officer will be known as an "Officer Cadet" but in all other respects he will be treated as a Second Lieutenant with dress, privileges and responsibilities of that rank, and be paid at the normal rate applicable to this rank, approximately $135 per month, for all time spent in training. Throughout the fall term, by way of introducing interested students to the Armv, regular parades were held for prospective candidates. A Selection Board was appointed which sat throughout January for the purpose of personally interviewing each of the eight score applicants. The selection board was composed of the Commanding Officer and the Resident Staff Officer of the UBC Contingent, together with four representatives of the President of the University in the persons of Lieutenant Colonel G. M. Shrum. O.B.E.. M.M.; Major A. H. Finlay, M.C : Major R. S. F. Robertson, M.C. and Major S. E. Read. From among 157 applicants, the Selection Board recommended for appointment the names of 80 men.

HORTENSE WARNE has been named to the International Guide Services, the first British Co-. lumbia Guide to receive this high honour. She has left her position at Burnaby South High School on two years leave of absence, travelled to England and been posted by the British Government to Germany for her first six months' service abroad. Her new job is a voluntary one. She received her initial training in Duncan two years ago, other experience as director of Girl Guide Camps and as skipper of the Sea Ranger Ship Arethusa. She will be working with teams of guides trained in the closing period of the war to be ready to move into the devastated countries and reorganize necessary services—canteens and hospitals. MARIAN HAMILTON POWELL, '32 has returned to Vancouver with her husband, Dr. Jenner Powell, and their daughter Jennifer. They spent the war years in the East while her husband was stationed with the Indian Medical Services in Northern India and at Aden. They were in England during the first blitz, then travelled to India on a record two months' passage by way of Freetown and Capetown. They lived in the north of India, Iahore, Murre, Deradun in the Himalayas where orchids and gardenias grow in storybook profusion; in Benares, the Holy City, and Rawalpindi. They waited two years for passage to Aden and travelled at last on a Pilgrim's ship.

Margaret's cheque for sixty dollars arrived just the other day with a fine note of best wishes. That kind of spontaneous support should be something of a challenge to all Alumni. . . . Dr. Stephen Maddigan (B.A. '30) head of the B.C. Research Council, has talents more than one. Steve won the coveted award of the Ad and Sales Bureau of the Vancouver Board of Trade, being adjudged "Best Speaker" in the Speakers' Club. . . . Speaking of speaking. Tommy Campbell (B.A. '31) has been appointed Honorary President of the Vancouver Debating Society which he founded in '38 . . .

John Good- lad (B.A. '46) and husband of former Lynn Pearson (pretty and efficient A.M.S. office manager for two years), has been given a fellowship at the University of Chicago . . . Cart Collard (B.A. '22) should be given the plaudits of the whole Alumni. Cart gave unstintingly of his time and talents to ensure success (along with Chairman Lois Reid) of the Alumni Grad Dance. PIERRE BERTON (Continued from page 9) "After you've been a year on a paper you find you start to repeat yourself—that can get boring," he declares. A man who hates to be bored, Pierre has no spare time. His evenings he spends writing or cartooning, listening to classical music, poring over his collection of several hundred reproductions of old masters. His wife, the former Janet Walker, herself a senior editor of the Ubyssey during the Berton era, puts up with all this as best she can. Berton always claims he married her because she worked for the rival Province and it's the only way he could think of to cut down on the competition. At a recent publications board banquet at which the Bertons were guests, Janet was asked to make a speech. It went this way: "Since I got married. I've left all the speechmak- ing to my husband, Pierre. Thank you." C. 0. T. C. (Continued from page 27) recent Great War, Army planners have successfully drafted a military training program for officers which should prove invaluable in maintaining the Canadian Defence Force in peace time. In so doing, they have made the role of The Canadian Officers Training Corps an important and integral part of undergraduate University life. Page 28 The Graduate Chronicle Dr. Paul Boving Dies With the death of Dr. Paul R. Boving, professor emeritus of agronomy, on Saturday, May 3, the University lost one of its best loved professors. Dr. Boving died at the Vancouver General at the age of 75 after a long illness. In addition to unique contributions to agronomy in his field of genetics and plant breeding, Dr. Boving endeared himself to thousands of students by his capacity for teaching and entering into the lives and interests of many of them. Since coming to UBC in 1916, to head the agronomy department three years later, Professor Boving was responsible for many improved strains of mangels, carrots and other root crops, while his investigation in the technique of alfalfa crosses was outstanding. On his retirement in 1939, UBC awarded him an honorary LL.D. degree. BRANCHES (Continued on page 28) PENTICTON By PAULINE PATTERSON A constitution has been adopted and plans formulated for various activities to include the establishing of a scholarship or bursary fund and the sponsorship of a Little Theatre Group. As the first successful project the Alumni sponsored the Players' Club in "What Every Woman Knows." The appreciative audience and the very satisfactory financial returns have definitely established this event as an annual Alumni activity. Much of the success of this endeavour was due to the hard work of Mr. W. H. Whimster, Mrs. G. Rowland and Mrs. C. Howe. On April 30 fifteen members enjoyed a luncheon gathering with Dr. F. H. Soward, who was visitnig Penticton as a guest speaker with the Canadian Club. DR. E. H. ARCHIBALD DEAD One of Canada's outstanding scientists and an authority on atoms, Dr. Ebenezer Ffenry Archibald, 74, former professor of chemistry at the University of British Columbia, died Tuesday in General Hospital after a lengthy illness. Dr. Archibald, who retired from UBC in 1941, was a native of Brookvale, Halifax County, Nova Scotia. SUMMERLAND: Summerland Alums met recently at the home of Dr. and Mrs. R. C. Palmer, where the feature of a regular meeting was a talk given by Alumni- Secretary-Manager Frank Turner who discussed the proposed medical faculty at U.B.C. The Alumni here are planning a summer dance on June 10, proceeds of which will go toward a scholarship for a local high school student to attend U.B.C. The fund is within $700 of its $3000 goal. BRITISH COLUMBIA'S FUTURE H a matte/i &fy vital tittefi&it ta mA, cut! British Columbia is entering a new era, in which new demands will be made upon us all. We face a future of splendid promise to the young people of today. It is safe to say that British Columbia was never in healthier or more robust condition, that never has a keener or more soundly-based spirit of optimism prevailed. Business and industrial leaders are of one mind — that this is the day and age of specialized knowledge, that the key positions, the worth-while posts, in the business and industrial world of the future will go to those whose minds are trained and disciplined by their years of study and search, whose perceptions have been quickened to grasp the intricacies of the new techniques. BUSINESS IS MOVING TO BRITISH COLUMBIA. What this means to our young men and women needs no emphasis. Trained and equipped to take their places in the industrial picture, this movement of business to British Columbia, this constant restless search for new and improved methods and processes, opens up a fascinating field of opportunity.
