Miller,\nwho will continue to sit on the Association's executive committee as past president.\nDr. Gibson was elected at the annual\ndinner meeting of Convocation and the\nAlumni Association held in the Hotel\nGeorgia following the first day of\nU.B.C.'s spring congregation.\nThe annual meeting of Convocation\nwas presided over by the chancellor, Dr.\nA. E. Grauer. Addressing the meeting\nChancellor Grauer said the University\nwas entering one of the most critical\nperiods in its history as a result of the\nincreasing number of people who desire\nhigher education. The University, he\nsaid, needs to get a larger proportion of\nprovincial revenue. The support of\nalumni, private citizens and industry is\nessential, he added, if the University\nis to solve its many problems.\nAddressing the annual meeting of the\nAlumni Association, outgoing President\nMiller announced the resignation of the\ndirector, Mr. Arthur Sager, who has\ntaken a post as assistant director of the\nRegional Training Center for United\nNations Fellows at U.B.C. Mr. Miller\npresented a watch to Mr. Sager as a\ntoken of thanks for his many years of\nservice to the Association.\nDr. Gibson, after being installed as\npresident of the Association, outlined\nsome of the continuing aims of the Association. He said the Association would\ncontinue to urge a federated University\nsystem for the province and the appointment of a royal commission to investigate the future of higher education.\nOther projects mentioned by Dr. Gibson included establishment of an alumni\nhouse on the campus, construction of\nadditional playing fields, organization of\nalumni on a regional basis and the establishment of political action committees in\neach electoral district of the province.\nThe guest speaker of the evening was\nDean S. N. F. Chant, head of the faculty\nof arts and science at U.B.C, and chairman of the recent Royal Commission on\nEducation. Excerpts from his address,\nentitled \"Revolutionary ideas in education,\" will appear in the next edition of\nthe Alumni Chronicle.\nU.B.C.

ALUMNI CHRONICLE VERNON\n\"Never in history have human problems been so challenging, never in history has there been such an opportunity\nto enlarge the human bridgehead in the\nworld and in the universe.\"\nThis was the optimistic note struck by\nDean G. C Andrew, deputy to the president, in his keynote address to the very\nsuccessful regional conference on higher\neducation which was held in Vernon on\nMay 6. The conference, second of its\nkind in B.C., was attended by upwards\nof 500 people from communities in the\narea bounded by Osoyoos in the south\nto Revelstoke and Kamloops in the north.\nIt was sponsored by the Alumni Association through a regional committee under\nthe chairmanship of Dr. E. M. Stevenson\nwho also served as conference convenor.\nDean Andrew suggested that education\nin B.C. should be thought of as a tertiary system with the University being\nan integral part of it. Viewed in this\nlight, the $6,000,000 of provincial tax\nfunds now being spent for the third level\nwas very small in relation to the $150,-\n000,000 to $175,000,000 being spent for\nthe entire system. \"Wherever our values\nlie, there will the tax dollar be spent,\" he\nadded.\nOn the question of the future, Dean\nAndrew stated that decentralization was\ninevitable. \"The question is not whether\nwe should decentralize but rather when,\nwhere and for what purpose.\" He expressed the hope that an advisory committee might be set up in the Okanagan-\nmainline to advise about decentralization \"in the light of provincial need rather\nthan local interest.\"\nHe challenged the delegates to think\nobjectively about and plan courageously\nfor the future. \"If there is any deficiency\nin Canadians,\" he said, \"it is a deficiency\nof imagination. We have long suffered\nfrom an intellectual colonization by borrowing from Great Britain and the United\nStates. It is time for us to realize the\nglorious possibilities of our own future,\nand to do something about it.\" Later in\nthe day, in his summation address, Dean\nAndrew returned to this theme and concluded with the statement that \"a vision\nof excellence is what Canada needs\nmost.\"\nAbout 400 people attended the morning session in the Vernon high school to\nhear a panel discussion of the cost and\nvalue of higher education. Dean E. D.\nMacPhee set forth, by word and chart,\nthe hard facts of cost both to the taxpayer and to the student. He noted that\nthe difference between the cost of first\nyear university and senior matriculation\nwas not as great as might be expected\nand suggested that this should be taken\ninto account when considering the relative merits of the two programs. On any\nbasis of calculation, U.B.C. receives far\nless in provincial operating grants than\ndo the other universities of western Canada, the dean reported. This too should\nbe considered by those interested in present costs and future development of\nhigher education in B.C.\nThere was no doubt about the practical, cash-in-hand value of a university\neducation, according to T. Everard\nClarke, Vernon businessman who replaced William M. Mercer on the morning panel. \"A University degree is worth\nfrom $100,000 to $125,000 during the\nlifetime of the average graduate and it\nis, any way you look at it, one of the\nworld's best bargains.\" But Mr. Clarke\nwas even more convinced about the value\nof higher education to society as a whole\nand he expressed great concern about the\ncompetition for brains from Russia and\nother countries. \"We are going to be\nworking for them if we don't settle down\nand do something about it,\" he concluded.\nThe third member of the panel, Dr.\nW. C. Gibson of the Faculty of Medicine\nand president-elect of the Alumni Association, underscored Mr. Clarke's argument by pointing out that Canada spends\nmore money in the treatment of criminals than in the higher education of its\nyoung people. \"It costs $26,000 per man\na year at Oakalla and there are almost\nas many prisoners there as there are\nstudents at U.B.C,\" he said. He noted\nthat the supposedly high cost of education is nothing as compared to the high\ncost of adult delinquency. Dr. Gibson\nstressed the importance of maintaining\nhigh standards at the University and, at\nthe same time, of finding ways and\nmeans of providing higher education for\nall those capable of benefiting from it.\nA refreshing change of pace occurred\nat the informal conference luncheon in\nthe cafeteria of the Junior High School\nwhere there was no head table and no\nspeaker. With the aid of a roving microphone, George Falconer, principal of the\nschool, called upon Dean Helen McCrae,\nDean Neville Scarfe, Dean D. M. Myers\nand Registrar Jack Parnall to answer a\ndozen or more questions on the University which were of particular interest\nto people in the area.\nAt the afternoon symposium statements about the future of higher education in the Okanagan-mainline and\nthroughout B.C. were made by Dean S.\nN. F. Chant, Mr. Dean Goard of the\nVancouver school board, Dr. J. K.\nFriesen, Dr. A. J. Wood and Mr. Robert\nT. Wallace, acting principal of Victoria\nCollege. They were followed by a lively\nquestion and discussion period, the afternoon session concluding with Dean Andrew's summation and informal group\nmeetings.\nDean Chant suggested that a reorganized secondary school program would\nmake it possible for academically qualified students to complete grade twelve\na year earlier, thus leaving the fourth\nyear in the senior high school for senior\nmatriculation. While not in favour of\nthe establishment of junior colleges giving another year of university work, he\nsupported very strongly the provision of\nvocational and technical education for\nthose not qualified for or interested in\nthe university. \"Those who have practi\ncal and technical abilities have sometimes been forced into an academic\ngroove when they shouldn't have been\nbecause we haven't provided the type of\neducation they need and deserve,\" he\nstated.\nMr. Goard supported Dean Chant's\npoint of view in presenting a specific program for the Okanagan-mainline and\nother areas of the province. He proposed\na comprehensive educational centre that\nwould include vocational and technical\neducation, senior matriculation and adult\neducation. He declared that there was a\nvacuum between high school and university and suggested that this vacuum be\nfilled by a unified community undertaking designed to meet all the needs of\na particular area. \"What is needed is not\nso much higher education as further education of all kinds for many kinds of\npeople.\" He warned against piecemeal,\nuncoordinated and uneconomic attempts\nto solve this problem.\nMr. Wallace spoke strongly in favour\nof a single degree-granting institution for\nBritish Columbia which would eventually have several campuses throughout\nthe province. He felt that there was a\nplace for junior colleges in such a provincial system of higher education. He\nurged the conference planning committee to undertake a survey of the needs\nof the area and he offered, on behalf of\nboth the University and Victoria College, to provide technical assistance for\nsuch a survey.\nDr. A. J. Wood of the Faculty of\nAgriculture was doubtful about the value\nof local training in agriculture at a junior\nor community college. He suggested that\na better method of training was for students to attend a university during the\nnormal session and spend the summer\nmonths at agricultural centres in different parts of the province.\nDr. Friesen reviewed the many offerings of the extension department, noting\nin particular the experiment in extramural courses for credit at Prince\nGeorge, and pointed out that his department was already decentralized. It\nhad become so in order to meet some\nof the needs of citizens throughout\nB.C.\nDr. Ian McTaggart Cowan was the\nhappy choice as speaker for the closing\nconference banquet. He gave a stimulating and entertaining account of education in Russia and China which left delegates impressed but, at the same time,\nchallenged by the opportunities here in\nCanada. We must compete with Russia\nand China, countries which are characterized by \"the boundless enthusiasm of\ntheir young people and the terrific head\nof steam which has been generated among\nthe masses.\" But we have many advantages, too, the most important of which\nis our freedom. Dr. Cowan concluded\nwith a few words on behalf of \"bigness\"\nat a university. \"U.B.C. is a most exciting place in which to work. There are\nkeen young people in search of knowledge, an atmosphere of discovery among\nU.B.C. ALUMNI CHRONICLE 6 Successful conference on higher education held in Vernon May 6 was enlivened by the presence of many of U.B.C.'s leading deans. Above Dean\nS. F. N.

Following the highly successful conference\non higher education in Abbotsford last\nDecember, they met in Abbotsford on\nApril 12 to form a new regional organization, the Fraser Valley University Association. This new group will encompass all branches in the Fraser Valley\nand will be able to speak for the region\nwith a unified voice on matters of higher\neducation. Membership is open to all\npeople in the valley, including graduates\nof other universities, who are interested\nin the aims and needs of higher education.\nThe meeting, chaired by Cecil Hacker,\nand attended by more than 100 people\nrepresenting all parts of the region, elected the following officers: President, Mrs.\nG. E. W. Clarke of Abbotsford; vice-president, Hunter Vogel of Langley; secretary-treasurer, William H. Grant of Abbotsford; members-at-large, Frank Wilson of Chilliwack, Dr. Mills Clarke of\nAgassiz, Norman Severide of Langley.\nThe executive were empowered to add\nto their number in the future to ensure\na good representation from all communities and professions in the Fraser Valley.\nDr. William C. Gibson, the new president of the Alumni Association, spoke\nto the meeting on \"What Good is an Old\nGrad?\" Dr. Gibson told the meeting that\nan old grad was a lot of good, and had\na vital role to play in his community,\nboth to interpret the needs of higher\neducation and to serve his community\nthrough a higher level of professional\ntraining.\nAt the end of April the newly born\ngroup sponsored a three-day tour of the\nvalley by 30 International House students.

U.S.A.\nDEATHS\nProfessor Frederic Lasserre, head of\nthe University's school of architecture,\nwas killed April 6 while mountain climbing in the Lake district of England.\nHe was 50.\nProf. Lasserre was on a year's leave\nof absence to study European architecture on a Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation fellowship. He is\nsurvived by his wife, Ethel; a son,\nMontgomery, 17, who was with him at\nthe time of the accident; and a daughter,\nLynne.\nOn Saturday, April 15, the University\nconducted a memorial observance for\nProf. Lasserre in the War Memorial\nGymnasium. In President MacKenzie's\nabsence, Dean Geoffrey C. Andrew,\nspoke the following tribute:\n\"We are gathered here together today\nto remember and pay tribute to our\nfriend and colleague Fred Lasserre.\n\"The news of his death came as a great\nshock to all of us. The implications of\nhis death will take time to become plain\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094for he was at the height of his powers\nand the future held promise that he\nwould further develop and enhance the\nmany contributions he had already made\nto the University, the community and the\nworld of his profession.\n\"It is always difficult in a time of grief\nand shock to appraise and estimate justly\nwhat a friend and close associate represented and represents to us by his life\nand works. This is hard always; but there\nare certain things that even at this time\nwe can with assurance record.\n\"Fred Lasserre's life was illuminated\nby a vision of the importance of design\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094social no less than aesthetic\u00E2\u0080\u0094in the\nlife of individual man and of society.\nA strong sense of conscience \u00E2\u0080\u0094 personal,\nprofessional, and social \u00E2\u0080\u0094 drove him \u00E2\u0080\u0094\nand through him us\u00E2\u0080\u0094toward the fulfillment of that vision.\n\"A man of unusual sensitivity, the\nclaims of vision and conscience made\nunremitting demands on his strength, but\nhe remained unwilling to lessen the demands which either made upon him. He\nwas, in a very real sense, a dedicated man\nand all who knew him, and were associated with him, could not help but be\ninfluenced by\u00E2\u0080\u0094and become, to the extent\nthat they were able\u00E2\u0080\u0094involved in his sense\nof dedication.\n\"His contributions to this University\nand to the larger community were many\nand important. He came to the University\nas professor of architecture in 1946; with\na distinguished student record in Toronto\nand Zurich. He became the founding\ndirector of the school of architecture in\n1950. During his time here, the school\nhas achieved an enviable reputation\namong schools of architecture based on\nboth his own example and achievement\nand on the quality of the men and\nwomen associated with him as colleagues\nand as students.\n\"In addition, however, he took a leading, perhaps the leading, part in the\nestablishment of a department of fine\narts and certainly in the development of\ncommunity and regional planning. Both\nthese developments were part of Fred's\nvision leading towards a school of design,\nin which a combination of the arts could\nthe better influence each other, to the\nenhancement and enrichment of individual life and urban civilization.\n\"There is a special irony to the tragedy\nwe are observing today, in that the building he fought for and planned for, which\nis being erected as the first unit of a fine\narts complex of buildings, and which he\nsaw as the nucleus of a design centre,\nshould be in the process of construction\nat the time of his death. It now remains\nfor others to carry out a similar or an\nequally worthy vision. On behalf of the\nUniversity and personally, I would like\nto pay tribute to his conception of the\nservice that higher education, within his\nsphere of influence, should render to the\ncommunity.\n\"His own view of the University's role\nin the community, in the areas of his\nchief concern, can be seen in the community services he performed. He was\nan active and influential member of the\nprofessional architectural bodies, provincial and national. He was equally active\nin the field of community planning, rural\nand urban housing, and civic art.\n\"As a practising architect, he is remembered at the University particularly for\nInternational House, for the Faculty Club\nand University Social Centre and for\nthe War Memorial Gymnasium, in the\nmemorial lobby of which we are now\nmeeting where the chief feature is, by\nhis design, the windows which in fair\nweather look to the high hills.\n\"As a person, Fred Lasserre looked to\nthe high hills. He was an idealist, troubled\nby the problems of human destiny, possessed of his own vision of what that\ndestiny should be, and the place of\nbeauty in it, determined to do all he\ncould to make the vision a reality,\ndetermined also to communicate to us\nhis vision; to these ends dedicated.\"\n1935\nRalph Davis, BASc, P.Eng., died in\nShaughnessy Hospital on April 1, 1961.\nMr. Davis was born in Rutland, B.C.,\nand graduated from the University as a\ncivil engineer. After varied engineering\nwork with mining companies, he joined\nthe staff of the city engineer's office in\nVictoria in 1939. From 1941 to 1945\nhe was in the aeronautical engineering\nbranch of the R.C.A.F., and then became assistant water commissioner for\nthe city of Victoria. In 1949 he was\nappointed chief commissioner of the\nGreater Victoria water district. He\njoined the firm of Stevenson & Kellogg\nas staff engineer in 1952, and remained\nwith that company until 1956, when he\nbecame staff specialist for hydro and\nthermal electric power development with\nSandwell International Limited. Later he\nwas appointed executive assistant, power\ndivision, for the company.\nThe Rev. Canon Christopher John\nLoat, BA, died suddenly of a heart attack on April 16, 1961, in St. Catherines, Ontario. He was rector of St.\nThomas' Anglican church there for the\npast 13 years. Born in Vancouver, Canon Loat was the only son of the late\nColonel and Mrs. C. J. Loat. After\ngraduating from the Anglican Theological College in 1937 he was in charge of\nparishes in Vancouver, Guelph, Ontario,\nand Ladysmith, B.C., and a combined\nparish of Fergus and Elora, Ontario,\nbefore going to St. Catherines. He was\nmade a canon in 1956 and served as\nrural dean of Lincoln and Welland\nDeanery from 1956 and 1959. For many\nyears he was active in the affairs of the\nOntario Society for the Prevention of\nCruelty to Animals and the Lincoln\nCounty Humane Society.

Following\nbrief periods of employment in a number of Ontario and Manitoba mines, Mr.\nPittson joined the Eldorado company in\n1950 and held positions at Port Radium,\nthe head office in Ottawa and at Beaverlodge. He was promoted from mine\nsuperintendent two years ago. Mr. Pittson is survived by his widow, two children, his mother, Mrs. N. D.

ALUMNI CHRONICLE FEDERAL AID\nTO EDUCATION\nPRESIDENT SPEAKS IN OTTAWA <=vl\nIF MONIES ARE NOT FORTHCOMING WE MUST DENY HIGHER\nEDUCATION TO MANY OF OUR\nSONS AND DAUGHTERS AND\nLIMIT ENROLMENT RIGOROUSLY\nTO THOSE WITH HIGH LQ.'S\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 ADDRESSES UNIVERSITY BALL *\nU.B.C. ALUMNI CHRONICLE 14 It is frequently claimed that \"education\" is a \"provincial matter\". In\nour Constitution, the B.N.A. Act, it is\nprovided that education is within the\njurisdiction of the provinces. At the\nrecent meeting of attorney generals of\nthe provinces to consider ways and\nmeans of amending our constitution,\nthe only positive statement issued\nseems to have been that the section\nin the B.N.A. Act dealing with education could not be amended without\nthe consent of all the provinces.\nI understand the reasons for this\nand I sympathize with these reasons\nand motives. Insofar as it has reference to schools and to education at\nthe school level, 1 feel it is probably a\nsound arrangement and I am prepared to approve it. But, ladies and\ngentlemen, I suggest that for a few\nminutes we forget about \"law\" and\nlook at \"facts\".\nEducation in its broad and inclusive\nsense is concerned with ideas and\nconcepts and \"things of the mind\". It\nis also part of the training and the\ndisciplining of the emotions. It is based\non knowledge and understanding and\ninformation. It conditions and shapes\nindividuals, groups, nations, and the\nwhole world of men and women of\nwhich we in Canada form a part.\nThere was, no doubt, a time in history\nwhen communication was, to all intents and purposes, non-existent, in\nwhich it was possible to confine\neducation and its effects to a limited\ngeographical area. It is still possible,\nthrough the agencies of language, culture, or an ideology, to restrict the\ninfluence of education and to channel\nit in a given and desired direction.\nAs illustrations: I suspect that the\nmasses of the Chinese and Russian\npeople do not know too much about\nCanada and Canadians or about the\nother countries and peoples of the\nWest. I am sure that many of the\ninhabitants of the Congo are ignorant\nof everything beyond their tribal borders. I suspect that many dedicated\ncommunists have closed their \"hearts\"\nand minds to our virtues and their\nown defects\u00E2\u0080\u0094and both do exist\u00E2\u0080\u0094and\nI am certain that in our democracies,\nCanada, the United States, Britain,\nand France, there are many ignorant\nand emotionally undisciplined people.\nTwo or three centuries ago, or even\nas late as 1900, this restricting and\nconfining of knowledge may have been\ninescapable or even acceptable. But\ntoday, in the kind of world we live in,\nit is just not good enough nor can it\nbe allowed to continue if we are to\nsurvive on this earth. That is why I\nhave presumed to speak to you seriously and to remind you that regardless of what the lawyers may draft\nand decide (and I am one of them),\nhumanity is on the march, and education in the broad aspects in which I\nam using the term is spilling over\nboundaries and frontiers everywhere.\nThe radio, and particularly television, moving pictures and advertising,\nnewspapers and picture magazines,\nand the ideas and information they\nconvey, are no respectors of persons\nor of frontiers or even of languages.\nAgain, as evidence, I give you the\nU.S.S.R., Asia and Africa, all in revolutionary turmoil almost certainly\nbecause of ideas and information that\nhas poured in over their borders.\nScience in particular uses a common\nlanguage, and ideas run like wildfires\nacross the world, regardless of all of\nthe walls and frontiers that men create.\nIn the positive and creative areas,\nthis is good, for if we exchange and\npool our knowledge about space, about\nmedicine, about physics and chemistry,\nand about human nature and human\nsociety, there seem no limits to the\nfuture that lies ahead. Whereas if we\nrefuse to do this, if we try to retain\nthe old dividing walls or to build new\nones, then we are certainly in for a\ndifficult, dangerous, and unhappy\nfuture.\nNone of this implies or suggests that\nI like conformity and uniformity, or\nbelieve that it is inevitable or necessary. To the contrary, I believe most\nstrongly in variety and difference within a nation and between and among\nindividuals provided that it is based\nupon the freedom of the individual\nand upon his access to all the knowledge and information and wisdom\navailable anywhere and everywhere.\nThis then is the international or world\nsetting.\nFor the rest of the time I would\nlike to put Canada and Canadian edu-\n15 U.B.C. ALUMNI CHRONICLE cation into this world picture. Obviously, we must, within the limits of\nthe physically and financially possible,\ngive all of our citizens the best and\nthe most education they can benefit\nfrom. If we do not do this, there will\nbe no place for us in this rapidly\nchanging world. This means good\nschools, good teachers, good newspapers and magazines, good movies,\nradio and television and a good system\nor systems of adult education.\nBut we, university alumnae and\nalumni, have a special interest in and\nconcern for university or higher education, and that problem is among\nother things, one of expanding enrolments, more buildings and equipment,\nmore teachers and directors of research, and a great deal more money.\nCan I give you one or two statistics.\nThe first, \u00E2\u0080\u0094 between 1940 and 1950,\nthe college age group in Canada increased by about 25,000. In the decade between 1960 and 1970 \u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0080\u0094 our\npresent decade \u00E2\u0080\u0094 it will increase by\n500,000. This is the measure of the\nnumerical difference in our problem.\nOne other problem. In the period\n1940-1950, about 8% of the college\nage group were in colleges and universities. It is estimated that some 33%\nof this age group have the ability to\nbenefit from higher education. It is\nalso stated that in the U.S.S.R., about\n19% are given higher education, in\nthe United States over 20%. In the\nlatter country, the percentage is rising\nand, because of social pressures, may\nwell go above 40%. Our present\n(1960-61) percentage in Canada is\n11%.\nThe question I, a university president, ask you and the people and\ngovernments of Canada is, what do\nyou want us to do? We can, in fact\nmust, if monies are not forthcoming,\ndeny higher education to many of our\nsons and daughters, and limit our\nenrolment rigorously to the \"brains\",\nthe \"geniuses\", and the very high\nI.Q.'s. The ordinary folk in that case\nwon't get in. Or we can spend more\nmoney on higher education. As I have\nstated above, education is a provincial\nmatter, and the governments and legislatures of the provinces must accept\nthe basic responsibility for it. This\nmeans, among other things, that they,\nthe governments and legislatures, must\nfind much of the money required to\nsupport all education, including our\nuniversities.\nBut, in addition, I suggest that because of the nature of higher education\nand of society and the world we live\nin, much of the money for our universities should and must come from the\ngovernment and parliament of Canada. In my introductory remarks I\nmade mention of the international\ncharacter of education. If that be true,\nand I claim that it is, then only our\nnational authorities can or have the\nobligation to cope with it.\nHigher education in most of its\naspects has always been and is national\nand international in character and\ncontent. Students and teachers have\ntraditionally wandered about the\nworld they knew in search of knowledge, experience and information, or\nto sit at the feet of great teachers.\nThis is true of Canada.\nWe at U.B.C. have students from\nevery province and most of the countries of the world. Our graduates go\noff to all parts of Canada and to all\nparts of the world, and what is true\nof U.B.C. is true of practically all\nCanadian universities. This kind of\nthing is not the proper or normal\nresponsibility of a provincial or municipal government. The future of our\ncountry, Canada, as I have said (as\nwell as of our provinces) depends\nupon research in science and in agriculture, forestry, fisheries, and in\nmedicine, and I would hope in the\narea of human relations.\nIn all of these fields as well as in\ndefence, our federal government is\npresently participating, through the\nNational Research Council, the Defence Research Board, various departments of government, and through\nthe Canada Council.\nFollowing the end of World War\nII, Canada contributed over $200\nmillions to assist in the education of\nthe veterans. Since 1951 she has each\nyear contributed millions directly to\nthe universities and colleges on a per\ncapita, per student basis. This year\nthis will amount to about $26,000,000\n(if Quebec is included). In addition.\nthe government of Canada operates\nthe three defence colleges, is increasing its aid to vocational training and\nis administering and paying for its\nshare of Colombo and Commonwealth\nscholarships plans.\nI have cited these activities to support my thesis that the federal government over many years has been,\nis, and must continue to be in the\nbusiness of higher education in its\nbroad and varied and appropriate\naspects, in an important way. There\nis nothing wrong or illegal about this.\nIn fact, it is good and desirable, provided always the federal government\nand parliament, or any other government, do not attempt to control the\nuniversities and higher education.\nSome measure of influence is, of\ncourse, inevitable if money is made\navailable for specific purposes or even\nfor general fields like \"science\" but\nthat is true of any money given by\nprivate citizens, corporations, foundations or religious denominations.\nThe direct per capita grants given\nby the government of Canada to the\nuniversities have been free and without \"strings\". The only influence they\nhave had is to improve the quality\nof the work done, to change the emphasis as between science and the\nhumanities, and probably to encourage\nthe creation of new institutions.\nIt is argued, I know, that through a\nredistribution of the taxing powers\nthe provinces could look after all the\nneeds of education, including higher\neducation within the respective provinces. In theory this is so. In practice\nbecause much of the work done by\nuniversities is not the concern of the\nprovinces, I do not believe the provinces would give their universities\nenough or uncontrolled support. Highways, rather than Colombo plans, are\nthe proper and understandable interest and concern of the provinces.\nIt is because of reasons like these\nthat I claim and continue to claim\nthat, if Canada is to provide for the\neducational needs of its people and\nto maintain its place in a changing\nworld, the government of Canada\nand the governments of the provinces\nwill have to give more money to the\nuniversities.\nU.B.C. ALUMNI CHRONICLE 16 CHARLES DEANS, a graduate of U.B.C. and a\nprominent professional\nengineer in Vancouver, was\nparalyzed from the neck down\nin a skiing accident four years\nago. Since then Charles Deans\nhas learned to paint by holding\na brush in his mouth (above).\nHow has he done it? Turn the\npage to read his story and see a\nselection of the pictures he has\npainted. By Professor Alexander Hrennikoff\nCharles Warbrick Deans was born in Summerland,\nB.C., and educated in the Collegiate School, Victoria, B.C.\nHe attended Victoria College for one year, then came to\nU.B.C. where he graduated in 1930 with the degree of\nbachelor of applied science in civil engineering with first\nclass honours.\nFor a year he worked as a junior engineer at the\nWestern Bridge Company in Vancouver, then decided to\nproceed further with his education. He was awarded a\nscholarship to attend Ames College of the Agricultural\nand Mechanical Arts in Iowa where, after two years of\nstudy and teaching, he received the degree of master of\napplied science in structural engineering.\nWell qualified in the theory of structural design, Charlie\nreturned to the Western Bridge Company where he soon\nbecame one of the key men. At the time of the second\nWorld War he held the position of chief estimator, which\nwas soon followed by an advancement to the rank of\nchief engineer. In this capacity he was responsible for\nmuch of the engineering work on numerous Liberty ships\nand tankers built in Vancouver during the war. In the\ngreat civilian expansion of the post-war period he worked\non the construction of bridges, buildings, transmission\ntowers, tanks, pipes, boilers and other types of steel\nconstruction. The Agassiz-Rosedale Bridge, the Nelson\nBridge and the Burrard Building in Vancouver may be\nsingled out as particularly monumental examples of\nCharlie's engineering skill. As his experience widened,\nhis advice was sought, not only by his colleagues in the\ncompany, but also by many Vancouver engineers and\ncontractors. By generously sharing the fruits of his experience with others, Charlie made many friends.\nCharlie had always enjoyed outdoor exercise. This\nled him to take up skiing when he was no longer a young\nman. His enthusiasm for the newly-acquired sport was\nso great that several bad spills and a broken leg did not\ndeter him.\nProfessor Alexander Hrennikoff is a member of the\ndepartment of civil engineering in the Faculty of\nApplied Science and a long-time friend of Charles\nDeans, the subject of the article on these pages.\nU.B.C. ALUMNI CHRONICLE 18 On Saturday afternoon, February 9, 1957, Charlie\nwent, as usual, to ski on Seymour Mountain\u00E2\u0080\u0094accompanied by his son Dennis. The metal skis he was using\nwere new and he was not accustomed to them. He hurried\nto catch up to Dennis, who had already started. As he\nwent down a steep decline, he hit a snag and fell, landing\non his neck. The force of the blow was so great that two\nvertebrae were crushed and his spinal cord almost sheared\noff. When his son and other skiers found him he was\nunable to move but still conscious. After considerable\ndelay and difficulty, he was taken to Vancouver General\nHospital. The accident resulted in paralysis from his neck\ndown, leaving only his head moving voluntarily. Even his\nbreathing was impeded. His general condition was so grave\nthat an operation was deemed inadvisable.\nCharlie and his family were now faced with a terrifying experience. It would have crushed a lesser man. As\ntime passed and the shock of the injuries slowly wore off,\nthere dawned upon him the realization that this condition\nwas permanent. Who, under such circumstances, would\nnot succumb to deep depression? Charlie, too, had his\ndark moments, but he was not overwhelmed by them.\nEven as he lay, flat on his back and helpless except for\nthe movement of his head, he did not lose hope but met\nthe challenge with courage. His mind was as clear and\nsharp as ever\u00E2\u0080\u0094and his power of speech remained intact.\nHe enjoyed conversing with friends who visited him and\nexchanging jokes with the nurses.\nCharlie had always been religious and in religion he\nfound the support to stand his trial. He was also strongly\ncomforted by his wife, Phyllis, and his two sons, Terry and\nDennis, now aged twenty-four and twenty. For nearly\nfour years Phyllis has visited the hospital every day and\nsome days more than once.\nMost of the time Charlie lies in bed. Normally he is\non his back but every two hours he is turned slightly,\nfirst to one side, then to the other, to prevent bed sores.\nOnce a day, for an hour or two, Phyllis takes him around\nin a wheel chair in the building, and in summer they go\nout into the grounds. He usually wears prismatic glasses\nwhich allow him to see horizontally while his eyes point\nvertically. He reads magazines and books which are placed\nbefore him in a special frame over his bed. The pages must\nbe turned by someone else as his automatic page-turner,\nwhich is actuated by the movement of his mouth, is not\nsatisfactory.\nThe Association of Professional Engineers of British\nColumbia retains Charlie as one of its examiners, and\nin this capacity he reads theses on structural subjects\nwritten by candidates for membership in the Association.\nThus, his wide engineering experience is put to good use.\nMore than a year ago Charlie discovered a new interest\nto occupy his time and keep up his spirits. He had always\nbeen gifted in many ways and art was one ability which\nhad lain dormant for years. He determined to develop this\ntalent in spite of his terrible handicap.\nWith the help of therapists at the Vancouver General\nHospital he has developed a remarkable ability to paint\nwatercolour pictures. He paints while seated in a wheel\nchair. A sheet of heavy paper, some eight by twelve inches,\nis taped to an easel in front of him at the level of his\nface. A pallette with cakes of paint and a glass of water\nstand on the shelf of the easel.\nCharlie holds the brush in his mouth obliquely between\nhis front and back teeth to obtain a firmer grip. He then\ndips the brush in the water, touches the desired colour, and\napplies it to the paper. He does not mix colours and to\nobtain effects of tone he goes over the painted area a\nsecond or third time.\nMost of his paintings are landscapes copied from postcards and pictures in magazine advertisements. He also\npaints animals and cartoons. He does not copy slavishly\nbut modifies and often simplifies the details and colours\nof the original. It is astounding to see some of Charlie's\nlater pictures; they would do credit to a professional artist.\nFriends have offered to buy his paintings, but Charlie\nprefers to keep them. His control of the brush is little\nshort of miraculous, as though the full power of his intellect\nwas concentrated in the one remaining area of voluntary\nmovement, resulting in a delicate, precise touch.\nCharlie's many friends follow him closely. They feel\nthat his pictures should be exhibited to the public; and\nthey wish Charlie to continue developing his artistic\nability, not only for his own satisfaction but also as an\nexample to others of what can be done by the purposeful\ndetermination of an individual to re-enact, as it were,\nanother \"Sunrise at Campobello\".\n19 U.B.C. ALUMNI CHRONICLE This family in B.C.'s interior\ndepends on the extension\ndepartment for various services.\nEXTENSION MARK\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2^W.-r^.\nFor conferences the extension department uses off-campus\ncentres such as Rockwoods, shown above, the five-and-a-half acre\nestate given to U.B.C. by Major-General and Mrs. Victor Odium.\nBy Gordon Selman\nThis year the extension department\nof the University is celebrating its\ntwenty-fifth anniversary. The board\nof governors created the department\nand appointed its first director, Mr.\nRobert England, on April 27, 1936.\nThe new department began its activities in September of that year.\nThe story of the University's extension and adult education program\nsince 1936 has been one of steady\ngrowth and expansion of activities.\nUnder its three directors, Mr. England (1936-37), Dr. Gordon Shrum\n(1937-53) and Dr. John Friesen (1953-)\nthe department has grown in both\npersonnel and scope of activities. Its\nwork has carried the influence and\nresources of the University to all parts\nof the province.\nBut the University's extension activities did not by any means begin in\n1936. Many hundreds of veterans of\nthe first World War received short\nterm vocational training at the university from 1918 to 1921. The\nFaculty of Agriculture maintained an\nambitious extension program from the\nvery early years through the 1920's,\nGordon Selman is associate director\nof U.B.C.'s extension department.\nuntil lack of funds forced its discontinuation. Under the University extension committee, founded in 1918,\nhundreds of lectures by University\nfaculty were arranged each year for\norganizations throughout the province.\nBut the severe financial restrictions\nwhich the University faced in the early\n1930's brought almost all extension\nwork to an end.\nAn opportunity for a fresh start\ncame in the mid-thirties when the\nUniversity received a sizeable grant\nfrom the Carnegie Corporation. It\nwas decided that the majority of the\nmoney would be devoted to reviving\nextension work and on the basis of a\nsurvey of the needs of the province\nin the field of adult education (conducted by Dr. O. J. Todd, Dean F. M.\nClement and Dr. H. V. Warren) a\nremarkable experiment was launched.\nThis \"emergency program\" which was\nconducted in the academic year 1935-\n36 and involved the presentation of\n893 lectures by faculty members to\nan estimated 70,620 persons throughout the province, is probably without\nparallel anywhere and a fascinating\nstory in itself.\nIt was at the conclusion of this experiment and in order to give permanence to the work begun under the\nCarnegie grant that the board of\ngovernors created the extension department. As a result of the resourcefulness and skill of the directors and\nstaff of the department, the great demand in the province for adult education and the continuing support of the\nUniversity administration, the staff of\nthe department has grown rapidly and\nits program even more so during the\nintervening quarter century.\nDuring the early years, particular\nemphasis was placed on \"field services\". A team of staff members\ntoured the province putting on week-\nlong rural leadership schools. Fishermen were advised in their home communities by extension field men about\nthe organization of co-operatives.\nCourses in drama, parent education\nand home economics were made available widely in all parts of the province.\nHundreds of study groups throughout\nthe province were organized and supplied with study guides, films, books\nand pamphlets. The subjects ranged\nfrom modern music and child psychology to current affairs and play\nreadings.\nOver the years, however, as the\nneeds of the province have changed\nand as other agencies have grown up\nU.B.C. ALUMNI CHRONICLE 20 > ITS SILVER ANNIVERSARY\nDr. John Friesen has been the\nenergetic head of the extension\ndepartment since 1953.\nLike many U.B.C. departments extension occupies wooden\narmy huts brought to the campus after World War II.\nPlans exist for a new building to house the department.\nto meet some of these needs, the\ncharacter of the extension program\nhas changed too. For instance, as\ngovernment and private organizations\nhave provided more and more basic\nfield services to the fishermen, extension has moved into the field of technical education and provides, amongst\nother things, a unique three-week\nresidential course for sea-going fishermen from all sections of the coast,\nheld at the University each spring.\nNow that local night schools and\ngovernment provide more information\nin the field of agriculture, the extension department concentrates more on\nthe professional and other leadership\ngroups in that field.\nWhereas at one time in many areas\nof its program extension was the only\nagency offering educational and informational services, today it is but\none of many. What is extension's\nspecial task? Its place in adult education is perhaps comparable to the\nplace of the University as a whole in\neducation generally. Its role is to\nprovide higher adult education. It\nshould\u00E2\u0080\u0094and does\u00E2\u0080\u0094do the experimental work, deal with the difficult\nand complex subjects, seek to master\nadult education as a field of knowledge, work with leaders and use its\ninfluence to bring about co-ordination\nof and co-operation amongst other\nagencies. It is a channel through which\nthe resources of the University are\nmade available to adults in B.C. who\nwish to continue their education. It\ncan assist them to use University and\nother resources in the best possible\nway to serve their educational needs.\nToday's extension program might be\nconsidered under three main headings.\nThe first of these is vocational and\nwould include such programs as a conference for stockmen, the residential\ncourse for fishermen, a refresher\ncourse for lawyers, credit courses for\nteachers, an evening class for purchasing agents, seminars for broadcasters, a correspondence course for\npre-school supervisors and many more.\nThe second heading is social education, or education for life in our\ndemocratic society. This would include a weekend seminar on the\nUnited Nations, a \"living room learning\" course on world politics, an evening class on philosophy, history or\nliterature, broadcasts on municipal\ngovernment, a conference on parent-\nchild relationships or a workshop on\nworking effectively in organizations.\nThe third heading is cultural education and would include the Summer\nSchool of the Arts, short courses in\nmany communities in drama, painting\nor ceramics and evening classes in\nmusic, sculpture or creative writing.\nTo these examples should be added\nthe libraries of books, records, films\nand filmstrips, the speakers bureau\nand other services which cut across\nand supplement all subject matter\nareas.\nEach year many thousands of British Columbians take substantial courses\nof study from the extension department. (This year the figure will be\napproximately 15,000). A much\nlarger number borrow books, pamphlets, records and films and solicit information by letter. Approximately\n100,000 people in B.C. will hear lectures by University speakers off the\ncampus this year, apart of course,\nfrom extension courses for credit towards a degree.\nThe boundaries of the extension\ndepartment's campus are the boundaries of the province of British Columbia. Its task is, through adult education to assist people to do a better job,\nto do a job better and to live a richer\nand more effective life. Its first\ntwenty-five years have been ones of\nexpanding, imaginative and effective\nservice to our province.\n21\nU.B.C.

The infant mortality\namong literary magazines is high indeed,\nbut those which survive the first critical\nmonths usually do so because the standards they establish attract both readers\nand writers. When Canadian Literature\nwas first planned, many people were\ndoubtful of its restricted scope. It was\nregarded as premature to publish a periodical devoted to writing in Canada;\nit was suggested that few people would\nbe interested, and that in any case the\nfield did not offer enough material to\nkeep a magazine going for more than a\nfew issues.\nWe disagreed, and Canadian Literature\nhas survived and, in its own way, flourished. In two years it has built up a\nsubscription list which bears comparison\nwith those of such established Canadian\nlearned and literary journals as The\nUniversity of Toronto Quarterly and\nTamarack. And in its first eight issues\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nof which the most recent is a special\nnumber devoted to the writings of\nMalcolm Lowry \u00E2\u0080\u0094 the work of a hundred different writers has appeared. The\nlist has included not only Canadian\ncritics of high standing, such as Milton\nWilson, Paul West and Hugo McPherson,\nbut also a gratifying number of writers\nwhose repute lies in other fields. Among\nthese are poets like James Reaney, A. J.\nM. Smith, Earle Birney, Louis Dudek,\nWilfred Watson and Eli Mandel, novelists like Hugh MacLennan, Ethel Wilson,\nRoderick Haig-Brown and Norman Lev-\nine, journalists like Pierre Berton and\nhistorians like Margaret Ormsby. In the\nbeginning we announced our intention\nof producing a magazine which would\nbe neither exclusively academic nor the\nspecial preserve of professional critics,\nand I think the names of these writers\nand the liveliness of their contributions\nCANADIAN LITERATURE\nthe first two years\nGeorge Woodcock, editor of \"Canadian\nLiterature\", reviews the first two years\nof the magazine's history and tells of\nplans for the future.\nto Canadian Literature have shown that\na critical review need be neither narrow\nnor impenetrable to the general reader\nwho is interested in the literature of our\ncountry.\nQuite apart from its featured articles\non a wide variety of literary subjects,\nCanadian Literature has set itself from\nthe beginning a number of specific tasks.\nIn its review columns, which seek to\ndiscuss every book of significance published in this country, it has provided\nthe only adequate quarterly survey of\nCanadian books, and in its two winter\nissues it has produced the first exhaustive annual bibliographies of Canadian\nbooks and literary articles, in both the\nEnglish and the French languages. It is\nhoped in the near future to supplement\nthis function by the publication of five-\nyearly Canadian bibliographies in volume\nform, and also to make the annual bibliographies available as separate pamphlets.\nTwo of our other aims on starting\npublication were to present a fair proportion of material on French Canadian\nwriting, and to encourage the discussion\nof Canadian literature by foreign critics.\nWe have made a fair start towards fulfilling both of these aims. All our issues\nhave been at least partly bilingual, and\nthey have contained general essays on\nFrench Canadian writing as well as\nstudies of specific authors such as Gab-\nrielle Roy, Gratien Gelinas and Saint-\nDenys Garneau, while our contributors\nhave included some of the best Canadian\ncritics writing in French, such as Gilles\nMarcotte, Jean-Guy Pilon and Gerard\nBessette. At the same time, we have been\npleased to print in our columns the\nopinions of such English writers as Peter\nQuennell and Roy Fuller, such American\nwriters as Dwight Macdonald, Conrad\nAiken and Robert B. Heilman, and such\nFrench critics as Max-Pol Fouchet. In\nboth these fields we plan to broaden\nour presentations in the future.\nBut no literary magazine fulfils its\nfunction adequately if it relies entirely\non writers of established reputations. By\nnow we are beginning to receive a\ngratifying proportion of publishable\narticles \"out of the blue\", and many of\nour contributors are relative newcomers\nto the world of letters. Some of their\nwork has, in my opinion, been very\ndistinguished, and I would particularly\nmention Warren Tallman's masterly\nstudy of Canadian fiction, Wolf in the\nSnow.\nI would like to end this note on the\nprogress of two years with a reference\nto the current issue of Canadian Literature (No. 8). which, apart from the usual\nreviews and literary chronicles, is devoted\nto Malcolm Lowry, the novelist and\npoet, who lived for many years at Dollar-\nton, close to Vancouver. In preparing\nthis issue I have had great assistance\nfrom Earle Birney, who, as one of\nLowry's literary executors, is now editing the great mass of manuscripts by\nthat author which has been acquired by\nthe University of British Columbia\nLibrary. Canadian Literature No. 8 contains nine hitherto unpublished poems\nand two very interesting letters, largely\non literary problems, by Malcolm Lowry;\nit also contains articles on Lowry by\nRobert Heilman, Conrad Aiken, Downie\nKirk, Max-Pol Fouchet, Earle Birney\nand myself, as well as the first part of\nan exhaustive and lengthy Lowry bibliography which Dr. Birney has prepared\nwith the assistance of Mrs. Lowry.

The group comprised 196 students,\n29 professors and their wives and families who had\nfled from their native land a few months earlier in\nthe wake of Russian tanks sent to crush the Hungarian\nrevolt of 1956. In September of 1957 the faculty\nand students of the Sopron division of the Faculty\nof Forestry began a new life at U.B.C. under many\ndifficulties, not the least being the language barrier.\nOver the years they have adjusted to these difficulties\nand today 85 per cent of the original class have\ngraduated with U.B.C. degrees and have found jobs\nin the forest industry and allied professions. While\nat U.B.C. the Sopron students annually commemorated\nthe revolution of October, 1956, by marching to the\nWar Memorial Gymnasium and placing a wreath in\nthe memorial lobby in memory of their fallen comrades. They are shown doing this in the picture at\nthe top of this page. Life in Canada also had its\nlighter moments for the exiles. In 1958 the Animal\nRescue League of Berks County, Pennsylvania, sent a\nmascot\u00E2\u0080\u0094a pure-bred Komondor sheepdog, a breed\nused by Hungarian shepherds to protect their flocks.\nIn the picture at left two Sopron students and a\nprofessor are shown greeting the dog at Vancouver\nInternational airport.\nI.C ALUMNI CHRONICLE 24 'We shall remember the good\nthat has come out of adversity'\nOn May 25 the final chapter of\na modern exodus was written at\nthe University of British Columbia\nwhen the last 23 Hungarian students of the Sopron division of the\nFaculty of Forestry knelt before the\nchancellor to receive their degrees.\nOn April 24 the exiled students\npresented a plaque to the University\ncommemorating their stay at U.B.C.\n(See picture on cover.) The plaque\nhangs in International House and\nshows a pair of hands linked in\nfriendship with a simple inscription\nreading \"U.B.C. Adopted Sopron,\n1956-1961\". The remarks which\nfollow are those of Dean Geoffrey\nC. Andrew, U.B.C.'s deputy president, who spoke at the ceremony\nwhen the plaque was presented to\nthe University.\nUniversities are among the rare\nhuman institutions which set aside\nnational boundaries to engage in\nthe free exchange of men and ideas.\nWe who work and teach at the\nUniversity of British Columbia will\nalways be particularly proud of the\nfact that it was our privilege to\nreceive, assist and support the faculty and students of the forestry\nschool at Hungary's Sopron University.\nMay I for a moment recall some\nof the events which led to the transfer of Sopron to our own campus\u00E2\u0080\u0094\na unique event, I think, in the history of universities.\nThe University of Sopron has a\nproud and dignified tradition, dating back more than 150 years, and\nspecializing in forestry, geology,\nmining and geodetics. The courage\nof Sopron University students had\nalready been established when, in\n1848, they fought with the Hungarian patriot, Louis Kossuth, in\nthe Hungarian War of Independence. In October, 1956, the faculty\nand students of the University were\nagain called upon to display their\ncourage and determination, for in\nthat month the Russian armed\nforces moved into Hungary and the\nUniversity fell under Russian control.\nAfter a series of acts against the\naggressor, in November some 300\nmembers of the University fled into\nAustria. Dr. George Allen, dean of\nthe Faculty of Forestry here, and\nMr. Fred McNeill, public relations\nofficer for the Powell River Company, flew to Vienna at the invitation of the then minister of citizenship and immigration, the Honourable Jack Pickersgill. After appropriate consultation, it was decided\nto invite the entire group to come\nto Canada, this with the assistance\nof the Honourable James Sinclair\nwho was then minister of fisheries.\nMr. H. S. Foley and Mr. M. J.\nFoley of the Powell River Company agreed to accommodate the\nfaculty and students of Sopron division in a construction camp at\nPowell River. They spent the spring\nand summer in the camp and came\nto this campus for the academic year\n1957-58.\nThose were not easy days for\nour Hungarian colleagues. Having\nleft a beloved homeland and nearly\neverything they possessed in the\nworld behind them, they were now\ncommitted to making a new life for\nthemselves in a strange land. There\nwere many problems and many\ndifficulties to be faced and resolved.\nTo begin with, they had to undertake the fairly lengthy process of\nlearning a language that was foreign\nto them and, at the same time, they\nhad to adapt to a new social and\ncultural atmosphere. Financial difficulties confronted them at every\nturn, but we at the University did\nwhatever was within our power to\nrelieve their plight.\nDean Allen and his colleagues\nwere tireless in their efforts on behalf\nof Sopron and they, together with\nother generous colleagues at the\nUniversity, worked long hours to\nmake the buildings and facilities\navailable so that teaching could go\non without interruption. It would be\ndifficult for me to mention by name\nall those colleagues who gave of\ntheir time and energies in making\nthis venture a successful one. So\nmany people co-operated, so many\npeople rallied to meet the challenge.\nSince that day, nearly five years\nago, 139 Sopron students from the\noriginal 196 have graduated, and\nat our coming Spring Congregation\nanother 23 will receive their degrees. This I consider a remarkable\nachievement and one of which we\nare all justly proud.\nThe plaque we are dedicating\ntoday is the gift of Sopron division\nto that University which was in a\nvery real sense their alma mater.\nIt symbolizes the understanding, the\nfriendship and the goodwill which\nhas characterized the relationships\nbetween Sopron and U.B.C. since\nour Hungarian friends first came\nhere. Our association with Sopron\nwe shall always cherish and we\nshall remember the good that has\ncome out of adversity ....\n25 U.B.C.

Arts, science and agriculture graduates are needed as teachers in primary\nand secondary schools in Ghana. Students must agree to a service period of\n18 months and salaries will range from\n800 to 1000 pounds depending on ability\nand experience. Teacher training is desirable but not necessary.\nThe government of Ghana has agreed\nto pay transportation costs return for\nthose students who sign up for the project. Applications for this year were to\nbe submitted before the end of April to\nJohn Haar, director of International\nHouse, who was named secretary of the\ncommittee.\nThis U.B.C. scheme for volunteer\nservice, with others initiated by Laval\nUniversity and the University of Toronto,\nwere reviewed at a meeting in Ottawa in\nMarch, under the auspices of the Cana\ndian National Commission for Unesco.\nThe meeting established a preparatory\ncommittee for Canadian overseas service\nto draft a constitution for a national coordinating agency and to develop a national scheme, and agreed to convene a\nnational conference in June of all interested agencies and groups.\nA GESTURE\nA 37-foot Kwakiutl Indian totem pole\nis being carved at Thunderbird Park,\nVictoria, as a goodwill gesture from\nCanada to Mexico. The pole was com-\nmisioned on behalf of the federal government by the Hon. Howard Green, minister for external affairs. The University\nof British Columbia, through its department of anthropology, is administering\nthe project.\nThe provincial museum in Victoria\nhas made available the facilities of its\nTotem pole restoration program in Thunderbird Park for the actual carving of\nthe pole which has been designed by the\nfamed 79-year-old Kwakiutl artist Mungo\nMartin.\nThe pole, which will be completed in\nmid-April, will be sVi feet in diameter\nand will depict four main figures from\ntop to bottom: the Thunderbird, sea\notter, double-headed serpent and cedar\nman.\nMr. Martin, who has been chief carver\nfor the Thunderbird Park program since\nits inception in 1952, is being assisted by\ntwo Kwakiutl carvers, Henry Hunt, 38,\nand his son Eugene, 18. Mr. Martin was\nthe creator of the 100-foot Centennial\nTotem pole which was sent to England\nin 1958 as a gift to Her Majesty Queen\nElizabeth.\nThe four main figures depicted on the\npresent pole are the crests of clans of\nfour Kwakiutl Indian tribes to which\nMungo Martin can trace a hereditary\nrelationship. Along with each crest goes\nan appropriate tradition explaining its\norigin.\nU.B.C.

ALUMNI CHRONICLE 32 Whatever Happened To Success?\nSUCCESS as an ideal (platonic) seems to be sicklied o'er\nthese days. In some circles, we are reliably informed, it\ntends to be regarded as a fate worse than death. Still\nand all, there ARE people who, for want of a more per-\njorative term, can be called \"successful\" and a sociologist\n(certified) has been rummaging among them to see what\nmakes them that way. He comes up with one significant\nfinding: that they as a group read more newspapers than\nordinary or non-successful blokes. This figures; it probably sharpens anyone's wits to know what's going on in\nthe world.\nSEE IT IN THE\nhint to husbands.\nGIVE YOURSELF (AND YOUR WIFE) A\nYEAR 'ROUND DISHWASHING VACATION!\nWhen the family's away for the summer, there you'll be,\nalone at last . . . just you and your dirty dishes.

J. Phillips\nAthletic Director\nU.B.C.'s second year in the W.C.I.A.U.\nhas not been crowned with as much success as we enjoyed during our initial season when we captured six championships\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094in tennis, badminton, swimming, curling, football and basketball. The University of Alberta \"Golden Bears\" were\nthe power in football, defeating the\n\"Thunderbirds\" in two straight games by\ncomfortable margins. Sceptics had predicted a domination of football by U.B.C.\nfor many years, but such has not been\nthe case.\nAlberta has, in addition, taken home\nthe silverware in tennis, golf, and cross\ncountry, and showed surprising strength\nin swimming during late January, when\nthey trounced the U.B.C. champions in\na dual meet at Vancouver.\nIn men's basketball, Jack Pomfret's\n'Birds have wrapped up the Conference\ntitle with an undefeated season thus far,\nand experts are calling the 1961 team the\nfinest in many a year. The school of\nphysical education director, Bob Osborne,\nhas two strapping sons on the Varsity\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nWayne and David, both of whom will\ncause the older basketball alumni to recall the days when \"Tony\" Osborne led\nthe \"Thunderbirds\" to a Canadian Championship.\nTHE FUTURE\nThere is no smooth road to the development of a new conference, and particularly the one in Western Canada\nwhere distances from Vancouver to Winnipeg present problems\u00E2\u0080\u0094financial and\notherwise.\nThe decision of the University of Manitoba not to field a football team in 1961\nin spite of a Conference decision last\nyear that football is to be a core activity in the W.C.I.A.U., will be a matter\nof considerable discussion and possible\naction at the annual meeting in May.\nThe problem of obtaining enough games\nis of major concern to Alberta and Saskatchewan and it is not unreasonable to\nassume that the Conference may have\nto look to the University of Alberta at\nCalgary to provide the fourth football\nteam in the Conference within the next\nthree or four years.\nICE HOCKEY\nThis year our hockey team entered\ninto a partial intercollegiate schedule,\nwith games against Montana State University, Alberta, and Saskatchewan, and\nnext season will play a full game schedule in the W.C.I.A.U. Coached by youthful Al Stuart, a physical education teacher\nat Point Grey junior high school, the\n\"Thunderbirds\" had a 7-2 exhibition\nrecord before defeating Montana in two\nstraight games, one of which was played\nat Chilliwack. We split with Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, and lost two to Alberta at home. At the time of writing\nthis report we have two more home\ngames with Saskatchewan, and the Hamber Cup Series in Edmonton against the\n\"Golden Bears\".\nWhen you consider the handicap of\npracticing off the campus between 11-12\np.m. three times a week, the team has\nmade a surprisingly good showing, and\nhockey seems to be catching on as a\nspectator sport at U.B.C. The games\nplayed in Chilliwack were exciting and\nwell attended both by U.B.C. students\nand alumni. The community of Chilliwack appreciated the opportunity to see\ntwo western Universities play a good\nbrand of hockey.\nMONTREAL TRUST\nCOMPANY\n\"A Company that Cares for your Affairs\"\nServices to Individuals and Corporations\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 EXECUTORS & TRUSTEES\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 EMPLOYEE PENSION FUNDS\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 ENDOWMENT FUNDS\n466 Howe Street MU 5-6311\nVancouver 1, B.C.\nJ.

GORDON BURKE\nThat grand old man of U.B.C. football, Dr. Gordon Burke,\npassed away at the end of January, after a lengthy illness. He\nbegan coaching in the 1925-26 season, and continued until\n1938, during which time the \"Thunderbirds\" won the Hardy\nTrophy four times in western intercollegiate competition. Dr.\nBurke continued to show a keen interest in U.B.C. athletics,\nwas present at many of the games and was a frequent visitor\nto the weekly meetings of the Thunderbird Quarterback Club.\nAt the annual award banquets he would present the Dr. Gordon\nBurke Shield to the football player chosen by his team mates\nas the inspirational player of the year. This season Captain\nRoy Bianco was the recipient of the award. All those associated with Dr. Burke over the years will share the fondest\nmemories of this great athlete and fine coach who was an\ninspiration to hundreds of U.B.C. students during the late\ntwenties and early thirties.\nAWARDS\nA $2000 Canada Council award for a piece of sculpture to\ndecorate the Buchanan building has been awarded to Gerhard\nH.

Binning, head of the department of fine arts at U.B.C.\nOther judges were Ian McNairn, also of U.B.C.'s fine arts department, and Joan Branvold, president of the Northwest Institute of Sculpture.\nMr. Binning said the decision to commission Class to execute the sculpture arose out of an exhibition held on the\nU.B.C. campus last summer. The sculpture is made of welded\nand soldered sheet copper and measures eight feet in height and\nseven feet in width. It now hangs on a wall at the west entrance to the Buchanan building.\nIn\n5\nyears\n..what?\nFive years may see a big change in your responsibilities.\nFive years may see a big change in your life insurance\nneeds.
