On May 4, 1917, a, group of graduates gathered\nin the \"shacks\" of Fairview and the result was the formation of the present\nAlumni body. When one reads over the minutes of past years, it becomes\nevident that some measure of progress has been achieved during the intervening\ntime. The Alumni as an organized body has taken a larger and more important\npart in the affairs of the University as the years have passed.\nDuring the last year \"overcrowding\" has practically overcrowded everything\nelse to the corner. Elsewhere will be found a detailed report of Alumni\nactivities in this regard. Much executive effort has been given to furthering\nthe campaign to secure more accommodation to alleviate the situation. This\ncampaign had been going on for some time when a change in policy was\nannounced by the Board of Governors, whereby registration was to be limited\nand fees increased by $25.00 in all faculties. r r _ , , \u00E2\u0080\u009E .\nThis announcement resulted in the forma- Dr- Ha,rTry ^arren' Pressor of Geol-\ntion of a Student Publicity Committee ogy> u-*>\u00E2\u0080\u00A2u\nwhich has been very active for some Milton Owen, President of the Asso-\nmonths and has inaugurated a lengthy ciation.\ncampaign to inform the people of the Questionnaires were sent to all branches\nProvince of the achievements of the Urn- to obta;n information relative to conduct of\nversity, the valuable research work carried the campajgn at Interior points.

Last May the Executive was instrumental\n(3) in arranging for a broadcast of the Convocation Dinner at which Canon Cody,\nPresident of the University of Toronto,\nwas the guest speaker. Several branches\nheld dinner meetings and heard the broadcast. The interest aroused was very\ngratifying and accordingly it is hoped to\nextend the coverage this year so that\nvarious branches may take part in the\nprogram. Details, however, are not complete at press time.\nThe Annual Meeting was held on\nOctober 29th, 1937, in Spencer's Dining\nRoom, with the largest attendance in the\nhistory of the Association, over two hundred being present. Entertainment was\nprovided by Miss Vera Radcliffe and\nMessrs. Gordon Herron and Norman\nDepoe. Professor Soward was the guest\nspeaker, taking as his subject \"Behind the\nFar Eastern Conflict\". His clear presentation of a very complicated international\nsituation will long be remembered as one\nof the outstanding contributions offered to\nan Alumni gathering. The President reported very satisfactory progress during\nthe previous year, noting the organization\not several new branches, and the success of\nvarious Alumni undertakings. At the conclusion of the meeting, Mr. Tom Ellis,\nretiring President, relinquished his office to\nhis successor, Mr. Milton Owen.\nThe traditional Christmas reunion was\nheld on December 27th at the Commodore,\nas usual, and was generally conceded to\nhave surpassed previous reunions. The\naccommodation was taxed almost to capacity by the seven hundred graduates present,\nin spite of a first class snowstorm causing\nthe cancellation of over a hundred reservations. Only those present can appreciate\nwhat a difference that extra two hundred\nwould have made. Entertainment included\nthe usual Varsity songs and yells plus an\nenergetic coloured tap dancer of approximately seven years who proved most\nintriguing to the feminine coterie present.\nAn added attraction was the Christmas\ntree presentation with Dean Buchanan as\nM.C. Unusual prizes were presented to\nvarious graduates who were considered to\nhave achieved distinction by reason of certain accomplishments of doubtful merit.\nIncidentally the affair produced a neat\nprofit. Bouquets for efficient arranging go\nto Myrtle Beatty, Dorothy Myers and\nTed Baynes.\nThis year the Executive adopted the\npolicy of visiting various branches whenever convenient. During the last year John\nBurnett, a Past President of the Association, visited Kamloops, Vernon, and other\nInterior branches where very successful\nmeetings were held. The President and\nSecretary visited New Westminster in\nFebruary to report on the activities of the\nAssociation, and particularly to explain the\npresent problem at the University. On\nMarch 25th a similar visit was made to\nVictoria when overcrowding was again the\nsubject of discussion. In addition, the film\ndepicting highlights in the history of the\nUniversity's early days was shown. This\nfilm, which was resurrected from the nether\nregions of the Library last year, has been\nedited under the direction of Dr. Shrum,\nand was shown for the first time at Homecoming. Early scenes of the first years in\nthe Fairview shacks, the University contingent, graduation ceremonies, and the\ncampaign to move to Point Grey are all\nincluded, and proved both informative and\namusing. It is the hope of the executive\nthat all branches may view this film in the\nnear future. David Carey, President of\nthe Alma Mater Society, accompanied the\nPresident and Secretary on both occasions\nto present the student viewpoint.\nElsewhere will be found reports of the\nbranches which will speak for themselves,\nbut it is pertinent to say here that the\nexistence of strong branches is essential to\nthe future success of the Association.\nMany branches have been active during the\npast year.\nThe basic policy of your executive is to\nmaintain close association among graduates\nthemselves and as a body with the University. The University has seen the first\ngeneration come and go; the second is now\non the campus. Alumni should continue to\nplay a progressively greater part in the\nlife of the University as time goes on.\nBy way of summary it may be reported\nthat in addition to the foregoing the\nexecutive held twelve formal executive\nmeetings since last May, and many informal ones as well, forwarded minutes of\nall meetings to all seventeen branches,\nissued circulars on overcrowding to 4000\ngraduates and \"duns\" for fees as well.\nAs for next year\u00E2\u0080\u0094several ideas are\nevolving in the minds of the executive. For\nexample: A monthly bulletin to replace\nThe Chronicle; a Presidential visit to all\nbranches in the Interior next fall concurrent with a certain political convention;\nreorganized Vancouver branch to assist\nvarious graduate clubs and teams. The\nprincipal work of the Association during\nthe last few years may emerge next fall in\nconcrete form if all hopes are realized, with\nthe construction of the first unit of the\nBrock Memorial Building, and the provision of further classroom accommodation.\nIt is only fitting to conclude by expressing the thanks of the executive for the\nco-operation received from Alumni during\nthe past year. Whatever was asked was\ngiven freely, cheerfully and without reservation.\nKENNETH M. BECKETT, Arts '32,\nSecretary.\nC5\u00C2\u00A3?\n(4) Dr. Weir points the way\nJAMES A. GIBSON\n/~\NE of the most interesting of new clubs on the campus this year is the\n^\"^ Political Discussion Club. It was founded to encourage both the substance\nand the method of political discussion and its meetings have been well attended.\nAt its concluding open meeting of the 1937-38 session on April 5, Hon. G. M.\nWeir, Provincial Secretary and Minister of Education, spoke on \"The Contribution of the University to the Life of British Columbia\".\nDescribing U. B. C. as the youngest among the provincial universities of\nCanada, and one of the most virile and willing to serve, Dr. Weir said that\nmuch had been heard of the contributions, in money and in buildings, which the\ngovernment should make to the University. He proposed to examine the reverse\nof this position and to discuss the contributions which the University should\nmake to the cause of good government in British Columbia.\nTo educate public opinion to the social needs of the community was a\nchallenge to people trained in the University. A university man, said Dr. Weir,\nas compared with a man of no school\neducation, had 800 times the chance to\nrender distinguished service. Already\ngraduates of the University were making\nnotable contributions to the agricultural,\nindustrial, educational, civil and social life\nof the province; and the fact that 70 per\ncent of U. B. C. graduates remained in\nthe province seemed a good augury. As\nto the future, three distinct challenges to\ncompetently-trained people were apparent: (1) to publicize the need for technical efficiency in public administration,\nwhich would require an educational effort\nto overcome ignorant prejudices against\nso-called \"brain-trusters\"; (2) to overcome opportunism in public affairs ; and\n(3) to promote research in the social\nservices.\nThe latter part of Dr. Weir's remarks\nwas concerned with an elaboration of\nthis third point. There was abundant\nraw material; but there was little organization of it. Research was therefore\nneeded as a stimulus and guide for thinking and action. In the past the approach\nto problems of social welfare had tended\nto be empirical. Social welfare work was\nnow becoming a profession, and there\nwas therefore need for research upon as\nnearly scientific a basis as was possible.\nHit or miss methods inevitably involved\nboth social and economic waste, and because Canada spent $250,000,000 (nearly\none-quarter of the national expenditure)\nannually on social services, better administration was essential if the chief social\nneeds were to be met.\n\"We need (continued Dr. Weir) more\nknowledge of social problems and public\nmeasures to deal with them, and we must\nhave a more highly trained and competent administrative personnel if we are\nto obtain maximum economy and efficiency in the operation of our social services. A substantial extension of organized research is urgently required to\nprovide the knowledge necessary for the\nformulation of wise social service policies\nand for the effective training of administrative personnel\".\nCertain research studies\u00E2\u0080\u0094such as those\nwhich were essentially factual and\ndescriptive\u00E2\u0080\u0094might be undertaken by the\nDominion Government through its own\nagencies. But further studies, especially\nthose which were analytical or interpretive or confined to particular areas,\ncould be undertaken by the Universities,\nespecially if the Dominion Government\nwould encourage, by financial grants, the\nbuilding up of definite schools for research in the social services, in connection\nwith such universities as Dalhousie.\nMcGill, Toronto, Manitoba and British\nColumbia. If the principle were accepted,\nmethods and co-ordination of studies\ncould be worked out promptly. An expenditure of as little as $250,000 would be\nwell repaid if expended on research now\nso urgently demanded.\nThe guiding aim, said Dr. Weir in conclusion, must be \"to make democracy\nmore socially efficient, and more competent and worthy to survive\".\n*S\u00C2\u00A3J\n(S) the overcrowding problem\nD. MILTON OWEN\n'T'HE most important problem facing the University authorities at the present\ntime is the lack of facilities available for the accommodation of the student\nbody. The situation has been bad for years, but came to a head this year with\nthe announcement by the Board of Governors that next fall attendance would\nbe limited to two thousand students and fees in all faculties would be increased.\nThe Alumni Association had been apprised of this situation for some time,\nhowever, and in February of 1937 had appointed a special committee to study\nthe state of affairs on the campus. This committee had done considerable\nspade work and on several occasions had interviewed President Klinck and\nother members of the Board of Governors. It had also made representations\non behalf of the University on at least two occasions by letter to all members\nof the Legislative Assembly. These representations were supported by personal\ninterviews with various members of the Provincial Cabinet.\nFollowing the aforesaid announcement\nby the Board of Governors a storm\nof indignation broke out, particularly\namongst the student body. It was at this\ntime that the groundwork laid by our\nAlumni Committee on Overcrowding was\nof great assistance to both the University\nauthorities and to the students. We were\nable to come to the support of the University authorities immediately and to cooperate also with the student body, and to\npersuade the latter to take a more rational\nview than that suggested by many of the\nundergraduates. To a great extent as a\nresult of this co-operation, no petitions or\ndowntown campaigns were organized by\nthe students, but instead an active campaign was engaged upon for the purpose of\neducating public opinion as to the value of\nthe University and its need for assistance.\nIn this way no one was antagonized and\nwe feel that there is every possibility of\nsome assistance being given to the University in the near future.\nThe Alumni however, should know the\npresent situation on the campus. The\nBoard of Governors announced that the\nfees would be increased at the Winter\nSession for Arts, Science and Agriculture\nfrom $125 to $150, for Applied Science\nfrom $175 to $200 and for the Summer\nSession from $60 to $70.\nWith this increase the fees at our University will be the third highest in Canada,\nexceeded only by McGill and Dalhousie\nUniversities, which are both private institutions. The question which arises is, then,\ndoes this University offer an adequate\nreturn in comparison with the University\nof Toronto, Queen's, and Western Ontario,\nwhere the Arts fees are $25 less; the\nUniversities of McMaster and New\nBrunswick, charging $30 less; the Universities of Alberta and Manitoba, charging\n$40 less; and the University of Saskat\nchewan, charging $60 less? Most of these\nCanadian Universities offer training in\nmedicine, law, dentistry, pharmacy, physical\neducation, architecture, etc., which courses\nare not offered by U. B. C.\nThe raising of the fees is surely not the\nsolution to our problem. This policy will\ntend to make our University available only\nto those students in good financial circumstances, which is not a desirable objective\nfor a government-owned University.\nAnother alternative which has been suggested is that the standard should be raised\nhigher, and many average students thus\ndebarred from attending. It has been\npointed out that the standards at our University are already very high, and it is very\ndoubtful whether it is desirable to raise\nthem further in order to disqualify average\nstudents. It is not necessarily the student\nobtaining first class marks who obtains the\nbest results from his University course.\nAfter all, the greatest values of a University training are in learning how to live\nand how to get the most out of life, values\nwhich cannot be judged in dollars and\ncents, or in marks obtained in University\nexaminations.\nIt has been suggested that the Board of\nGovernors adopt a system of graduated\nfees according to the marks\u00E2\u0080\u0094that is, the\nhigher the marks of a student the lower his\nfees. Such a suggestion is inane to say\nthe least, because not only would a charting system comparable to the government\nincome tax returns be necessary, but the\nsame hardships already mentioned would\nbe worked on the average hard-working\nstudent who obtains just as much, if not\nmore, out of his University course as the\nproverbial bookworm. The University\nstandards are high now and those not\ncapable of doing the work are required to\nleave after the Christmas examinations\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nto raise the standards any higher would not\n(6) be a far-sighted or logical solution in\nany way.\nAnother feature of the situation which\narises is that many ask why the attendance\nat the University should be limited at all.\nThe argument is that it is desirable that\nas many as possible should receive the\nadvantage of advanced education, and\ntoday more than ever we find that a good\neducation is a pre-requisite in all occupa\ntions. It is desirable, furthermore, that the\ngeneral standards of our people should be\nraised. This will never be accomplished\nuntil a full education is available to all our\ncitizens. Particularly is it desirable that\nthe University should be open to all when\nwe consider the fact that it is supported by\nthe taxes of the people. How much more\ndesirable it is therefore that the University\nshould not be available only to those who\nare born in good financial circumstances or\nto those who have the ability to write\nexaminations successfully.\nThe only alternative that could be\nadopted in order to alleviate the present\nsituation at the University would be increased governmental grants for buildings\nand equipment, to a level compatible with\nthe value of the University to this\nProvince. It is not suggested, of course,\nthat it will be necessary to keep increasing\ngovernmental grants until the University\nbecomes a great drain on the public purse.\nOur University is still young and will\nrequire assistance for a few years. In the\nnear future, however, the number of bequests and private grants should increase\nto such an extent that the University will\nbe able to carry itself without governmental\nassistance. This has been the experience of\nall Universities after they have reached a\ncertain age and there is no reason the same\nthing should not occur in the history of our\nown institution.\nIt is essential that the people of this\nprovince should appreciate the seriousness\nof the overcrowded situation at the University of British Columbia at the present\ntime, and also that they should realize that\nin allowing this state of affairs to continue\nthey are endangering the welfare and even\nthe existence of an institution which means\nhundreds of thousands of dollars annually\nto the industries, trade, and businesses of\nthis province. The members of the Government have already shown their sympathy\nwith the needs of the University. It now\nrests with the people of British Columbia\nto demand that immediate assistance be\ngiven to this productive institution in order\nthat our province may not lose the full\nbenefits accruing to it from the necessary\nwork of such an institution.\nAnd that is where the efforts of all\ngraduates of the University may be of\ngreat assistance to our Alma Mater. We.\nas graduates, are familiar with the conditions at the University and have, deep\ndown in our hearts, a great regard for all\nit has meant to us in the past. We also\nhave a material interest in the welfare of\nthe University in the fact that, holding\ndegrees from that institution, we would be\nreluctant to see the value of those degrees\ndeteriorate in any way. There seems to be\nno doubt, however, that should the present\npolicy as suggested by the Board of Governors be carried out, the standards of the\nUniversity of British Columbia will necessarily be lowered to a great extent. We\nmust take immediate action to remedy this\nsituation. Let us as graduates do our part\nin advertising the value of the University\nto the public of this province in order that\nthere may be a better appreciation of the\nwork of that institution.\nTUUM EST.\nbrock memorial\nD. MILTON OWEN\nT^HE Brock Memorial Campaign\nCommittee has collected the sum\nof $41,532.00 to date towards the\nerection of the proposed Memorial\nBuilding on the campus. The original campaign fell far short of its\nobjective for various reasons, the\nprinciple one of which was the poor\nbusiness conditions existing at that\ntime.\nAs a result, the campaign has been\nallowed to hang in abeyance for\nnearly two years and the under\ngraduate body, becoming impatient\nwith the delay, has threatened to withdraw the students' subscription from\nthe campaign fund. For this reason,\nand because there is a dire need for\nadditional building accommodation at\nthe University, it is imperative that\nsteps be taken immediately to supplement the amount collected to date so\nthat work may be started immediately\non the new building to house student\nactivities. The architects have informed the Memorial Committee that\n(7) a minimum sum of $54,000 will be\nrequired to put up a structure which\nwill in any way be adequate for the\npurpose.\nOf the total amount collected the\nsum of $9000 was allotted primarily\nby the Women Students for furnishings and is not to be used for the\nbuilding itself. This leaves on hand\nfor the construction of the building\nthe sum of $32,000, meaning that\nbefore work can be commenced on\nthe structure it will be necessary for\nthe Memorial Committee to raise an\nadditional $20,000 at least. After\nconsiderable discussion members of\nthe committee decided that the various\norganizations interested would each be\napproached and requested to accept\nresponsibility for a proportionate\namount of the sum needed. The\nAlumni Association is endeavouring\nto raise a sum equivalent to $2 each\nfrom its 4000 members approximately,\nwho are associate or active members\nof our Association at the present\ntime. This means that it will be\nnecessary to organize a personal campaign, and it is the request of the\nExecutive of the Association that\nevery graduate subscribe to this fund\nif he has not already done so, with an\neven greater sum than the $2 allotted.\nWe shall do our best in any event to\nraise the total amount as aforesaid\nand an active committee is being\nformed at the present time under the\nChairmanship of Earl Vance, a very\nenergetic alumnus and a former President of the Alma Mater Society. The\ncause is a worthy one and as our\nAssociation has done little enough for\nthe University to date this campaign\nwill provide us with an opportunity to\nshow our interest and to make a concrete and lasting contribution to\nUniversity life.\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2\u00C2\u00ABE>oC38-\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 universities - east and west\nDEAN J. N. FINLAYSON\nT AM very glad to be able to accede to the request for a short article on the\nachievements and aspirations of the Faculty of Applied Science of the University of British Columbia, together with some observations concerning other\nuniversities in which I have seen service.\nBut before addressing myself to the assignment, I wish to take this opportunity of expressing my appreciation of the very warm welcome which has been\naccorded me by the citizens of British Columbia in general, and the University\ngovernors, officers, professors and students in particular, since I entered upon\nmy duties as Dean of the Faculty of Applied Science.\nMy arrival coincided with the completion of the twenty-first year of the\nUniversity's existence, and with the celebration of Vancouver's golden jubilee.\nI was thus able to obtain from the literature issued a complete account of the\nUniversity's remarkable progress during its adolescence, and I consider myself\nfortunate in being permitted to join the staff on the date of its development\ninto full and vigorous manhood.\nThe cornerstone of the first university\nbuilding was laid in 1820 by the Earl\nof Dalhousie. Classes were opened in 1838,\nbut in 1845 the College was closed to allow\nthe funds to accumulate. It reopened in\n1863 with a staff of six professors, and\nabout 1880 Mr. George Munro, New York,\nendowed several chairs and provided liberal exhibitions and bursaries. His gifts,\naggregating about $350,000, were at that\nI have served on the staff of four Canadian universities, two supported by the\nstate, two privately endowed; two, McGill\nand Dalhousie, ancient and honorable as\nCanadian institutions are listed, two, British Columbia and Manitoba, lusty juveniles in the family of Canadian universities.\nDalhousie's original endowment was\nderived from funds collected at the port\nof Castine, Maine during the war of 1812.\n(8) time unparalleled in Canada. Graduates\nand friends have been generous, and the\nendowment is now nearly $3,000,000. The\nincome from investments just about\nequals the receipts from class tees.\nMcGill University owes its origin to the\nvision of the Hon. James McGill, who bequeathed forty-six acres of land, his dwelling house and other buildings and a sum\nof il0,000 to found a college in a provincial university.\nThe work of teaching was begun in 1829,\nbut the record of the first thirty years of\nthe University's existence was an unbroken\ntalc of financial embarrassment. About\n1850 the citizens of Montreal awoke to\nthe value of the institution, an amended\ncharter was secured, John William Dawson was appointed Principal, and an era\nof progress and prosperity began.\nGenerous endowments and donations\nwere made by interested friends; those by\nSir William Macdonald and Lord Strath-\ncona are so well known that mention of\nthem is scarcely necessary. The total\namount of endowments is over $30,000,000.\nThe University of Manitoba was established by an Act of the Legislature in\n1877, but the Act provided that there\nshould be no teaching undertaken, the\nfunctions of the University being limited\nto the examination of candidates for degrees and the granting of the degrees on\nthe model of the University of London.\nInstruction was provided by the denominational colleges already in existence, which\nwere affiliated with the University at its\ninception.\nThe principle of governmental support\nwas recognized from the first, the Act\nproviding for a sum not exceeding $250 to\nbe placed at the disposal of the Council of\nthe University to meet expenses incidental\nto organization. For many years there was\na spirited agitation for definite provision\nby the Legislature for the teaching of the\nnatural sciences, as the affiliated colleges\nfound themselves unable to provide the\nnecessary apparatus and the payment of\nteachers. Consequently in 1904, six chairs\nin the sciences and mathematics were\nestablished, followed in 1907 by the creation of a department of civil engineering.\nChairs of electrical engineering and architecture were added, and there is at present\nno instruction provided for students in\nother departments of applied science.\nSince 1914 the University has offered\ncomplete courses in arts. The arts undergraduate, accordingly has the choice of\nattending classes at the University or at\none of the affiliated colleges.\nThe colleges are located in different\nparts of Winnipeg, one of them in the\nneighboring city of St. Boniface. The University classes in the first and second years\nare held in Winnipeg, those of the senior\nyears at Fort Garry, about six miles from\nthe city university buildings.\nWhile there is obvious waste in this\nseparation, there is the one advantage;\nstudents residing in diverse sections of\nthe community have opportunities for receiving at least a portion of their training\nat institutions located in their neighborhood. There is also the doubtful merit of\ncompetition.\nIt may be of interest to note that the\nUniversity functioned for several years\nwithout benefit of president or deans. It\ndid have the benefit of the clergy, as the\nArchbishop of Rupert's Land became the\nfirst Chancellor.\nTo the graduates of U.B.C. who have\nexperienced the vicissitudes incident to the\noccupation of \"the most picturesque university site in the world\", it may thus be\nof some consolation to be reminded of\nsome of the discouragements which faced\nother universities in their formative\nperiods. Our founders were able to direct\nthis infant institution away from many of\nthe pitfalls that obstructed the pathways of\ntheir seniors.\nIt is gratifying to a McGill graduate to\nbe told that the excellent pioneer work accomplished by the McGill University College of British Columbia was useful in\ndirecting U.B.C. along the right path. The\nimmediate success of the first graduates\nrevealed the superior quality of the training which they received, and full credit\nmust be given to the vision, ability and\ncharacter of the founders, several of whom\nwere professors in the old McGill College.\nIt is significant, for instance, that they\nrecognized that fundamental axiom that\nthere cannot be a great university without\na strong faculty of applied science. They\nenvisaged the rapid development in the\nutilization of the rich natural resources of\nthe province, and they made provision for\nadequate training of science students in\norder that they might merit the confidence\nthat the community was ready to repose in\nthem. In my first annual report to the\nGovernors, I declared my adherence to the\ngeneral policy laid down by the founders\nof the faculty at its inception.\nThe applied scientist's profession is of\nnecessity an exacting one. He who follows\nit, in any of its branches, must deal with\nnatural laws, any infraction of which\nmeans disaster. His deductions must be\nbased on premises which are incontrovertible, and which lead to but one conclusion.\nIn his training, emphasis should be laid on\nsuch subjects as the average individual\nwill find irksome and difficult to assimilate\nto that point where they become of genuine\nvalue to him, if his university course has\nnot provided him with knowledge of their\nfundamentals.\nThe importance of highly specialized subjects, which the average student soundly\ngrounded in the essentials of his professional course can easily master through\n(9) subsequent private study, has never been\nstressed in this faculty. From time to\ntime, however, the staff has reviewed the\ncurriculum in order to determine the most\nsuitable fundamental subjects which should\nbe studied by applied science students, and\nduring the past two years several important\nchanges have been made in the courses of\nstudy.\nIt will be, I hope, of general interest to\nall graduates to learn that courses in\nEnglish composition have been introduced\ninto both the second and third year\ncurricula.\nIt is conceded by all men and women\nwho have to do with applied science work\nthat the scientist is not solely concerned\nwith technical problems, though as to these\nhe must be an expert, but he is becoming\nmore and more concerned with economic,\nlegal and commercial problems, and he\nshould be prepared to meet men of affairs\nand of liberal education on an equal footing. To this end a course in general\nengineering has been introduced, and the\nnumber of hours of didactic instruction in\nmany subjects has been reduced, in order\nto give the student more opportunity to\nread technical and cultural literature.\nA working library of scientific books\nand current periodicals has been placed in\nthe reading room of the applied science\nbuilding, and I wish to take this opportunity of acknowledging my debt of gratitude to Mr. Ridington and his staff for\ntheir courteous co-operation in making this\nservice available to our applied science\nstudents, who are encouraged to spend considerable time in directed general reading.\nIt is hoped that they will become familiar with such liberal studies as should\nform part of the mental equipment of\nevery educated man and woman. Space\ndoes not permit the mention of other\nchanges, but I urge the graduates of applied science to note them in the University\ncalendar. I direct the attention of the\ngraduates in forest engineering to the\nrevised curriculum in forestry.\nIt is desirable that there should be\nrenewed interest shown in the training of\nyoung men for service in British Columbia's leading industry.\nThe outstanding impression received by\na new arrival is the matchless beauty of\nthe setting of the campus. Next in order,\nperhaps, is the realization of the eminent\nplaces in the professional, commercial, industrial, and cultural life of the province\noccupied by the graduates, creditable to\nthemselves and to the professors who have\nborne the heat and burden of those pioneer\nyears. It has been a great pleasure to\nmeet so many of the graduates and I\nextend a cordial invitation to all who read\nthese lines to pay me a call on their next\nvisit to the campus.\nYou will find new faces in some departments, new equipment in all departments,\nan increasingly large student body, and the\nsame old spirit of loyalty and devotion to\neverything that concerns the welfare of\nyour Alma Mater.\n*\u00C2\u00A3>o<3\u00C2\u00A3\nculture without college\nDR. GORDON M. SHRUM\nDirector, Department of University Extension\nTJNIVERSITY EXTENSION, as it is known today, first began in England\nat the University of Cambridge, from which it spread to Oxford and then\nto America\u00E2\u0080\u0094where it may be said to be consciously modelled on the older\nBritish movement.\nAlthough it originated in an attempt to bring organized college education to\nadults who were unable to take up residence, it was not initiated by the universities themselves. It began in response to an articulate public demand from\nmen and women, who had never had a chance to enjoy a college education, and\nwho demanded that something like it be made available to them.\nIn Canada, although extension work takes somewhat different forms at\nvarious universities, it is fairly safe to say that in general it receives its inspiration from the more successful experiments being conducted in England and the\nUnited States.\nAt the University of British Columbia the idea of University Extension is\nnearly as old as the University itself. the University Extension Committee. By\nBetween 1915 and 1936 much useful work means of bulletins and articles for the\nwas carried on by a committee known as press, an effort was made to keep the\n(10) public informed regarding the work and\nactivities of the University. One of these\nbulletins (No. 2) was published in January, 1919,* and was designed to give\ndetailed information regarding the work,\ncourses and equipment of the institution.\nIn addition to the daily broadcasts on\nmarkets and agricultural topics, several\nweekly programs, including courses on\nPoetry, Music Appreciation, Drama, and\nthe students' feature, \"Varsity Time\",\nhave been offered. The course on Producing a Play was given over the British\nColumbia network and was one of the first\nof its kind offered in Canada. Over one\nhundred \"listening groups\" registered for\nthe course which, according to radio officials is a Canadian record for this type of\neducational broadcast.\nThis year for the first time the Extension Department organized a course for\nstudy-groups. The subject selected was\n\"Economics and Public Affairs\" and\neighteen groups registered for it.\nThe visual aids division of the Department has been expanding rapidly. A\nbulletin describing the slides, film slides,\nmotion pictures, etc., available for loan was\nprepared in February. The resulting demand for loans has quite exceeded\nexpectations.\nA new and very interesting development\nthis year has been the offering of short\ncourses in Agriculture in the Lower Fraser\nValley. The Department of Extension was\nasked to undertake this work under a grant\nfrom the Dominion-Provincial Youth\nTraining Plan. Courses in Bee-Keeping\nand Poultry Husbandry were offered at ten\ncentres to a total registration exceeding\nthree hundred. It is expected that for\nnext year this work will be extended to\ninclude many other districts in the\nProvince.\nSpace does not permit a description of\nall the efforts being made by the Department to give assistance and leadership to\nthe adult education movement in this\nProvince. Many of the alumni who were\nnot aware of the opportunities offered\nduring the past year will, however, be\nmore interested in the plans for the future.\nOne of the most important projects for\nthe summer will be a six weeks course on\nthe Theatre starting July 4. This will be\na complete course arranged by Miss Dorothy Somerset, who has accepted a position\nas head of the drama division of the\nExtension Department. As guest director\nfor the course, the University has been\nexceedingly fortunate in securing the services of Miss Ellen Van Volkenburg, a\nvery distinguished producer from London\nand New York. Other courses during the\n*The Extension Department is very\nanxious to get a copy of each of these\nbulletins for the files. Bulletin No. 1 was\npublished by the University Extension\nCommittee prior to 1919.\nsummer will include a short course for\nP.T.A. groups in June and a two weeks'\ncourse in athletics by C. S. Edmundson,\nthe track and backetball coach at the\nUniversity of Washington. The latter\ncourse will be given during the last two\nweeks of the Summer Session and should\nprove to be invaluable to teachers.\nFor next autumn plans are being made\nto offer, as part of the Adult Education\nprogram, evening classes, study-group\ncourses, radio programs, reading lists,\ntravelling art collections, motion pictures,\nincreased library facilities and dramatics.\nAlumni can be of great assistance in this\nprogram by helping to set up local adult\neducation groups in their own districts.\nThe Extension Department, charged as it\nis with certain responsibilities regarding\nthe relation between the University and the\npublic, is extremely appreciative of the\ncontinued help and support which it is\nreceiving from the alumni. There seems\nto be a tradition that the alumni should\nbe specially sympathetic to all projects\nsponsored by the University.\nThe Extension Department wishes to\nassist the University in establishing a\nreciprocal tradition. The policy of the\nDepartment will be directed towards offering members of the alumni ever-increasing\nopportunities for the continuation of their\ncultural and vocational training. It is\nhoped that it will be possible in the near\nfuture to offer refresher courses, radio\nprograms, or other activities particularly\narranged for members of the alumni.\nHaving had the privilege of a college\neducation and knowing the values of\nlearning, each member of the alumni in\nhis community will experience an especial\nsense of responsibility for the provision of\nsimilar advantages for all citizens. To the\nalumni the question will not be \"Why go\non learning?\" but rather \"Why stop\nlearning?\"\nThe committee also arranged extension\nlectures by members of the staff at various\ncentres throughout the province.\nIn 1935 the University received from the\nCarnegie Corporation of New York a grant\nwhich made possible the establishment of\na Department of University Extension.\nDuring the following year, Dr. O. J. Todd,\nwho had been secretary of the University\nExtension Committee, carried on much of\nthe preliminary organization work. In\nSeptember, 1936, Mr. Robert England, the\nfirst director of the Department, assumed\nhis duties. Mr. England resigned during\nthe summer of 1937 and in September the\npresent director undertook the work, the\nvalue of which had been so well demonstrated.\nThe Carnegie grant of $30,000, under\nwhich the work had been carried on during\nthe two preceding years, was exhausted by\nAugust, 1937, and therefore the 1937-38\nprogram has been carried on with limited\n(11) funds provided by the University. This\nfact necessitated a rather drastic curtailment of some projects which had been\nundertaken and the substitution of others\nwhich were less costly or more nearly self-\nsupporting. However, through the co-operation of the University administration and\nthe generous and willing assistance of the\nmembers of the teaching staff, some considerable measure of success has been\nachieved in extending the public service\nrendered by the University. Quite apart\nfrom its value as adult education, this\nwork has succeeded in increasing the public\nsupport upon which the future of the\nUniversity depends.\nThe activities of the Department during\nthe past winter may be grouped under the\nfollowing headings:\n(a) Evening Classes.\n(b) Extension Lectures.\n(c) Visual Aids.\n(d) Short Courses.\n(e) Study-Groups and Forums.\n(f) Radio Programs.\n(g) Extension Library,\n(h) Public Relations.\nDuring the winter months seven Evening\nClasses were held\u00E2\u0080\u0094five at the University\nand two at the Vancouver Normal School.\nCourses were offered in, General Botany,\nShakespeare, Some Problems of the Post-\nWar World, Horticulture, Music Appreciation, Poultry, and Social Service.\nAlthough this was the first time that the\nUniversity had offered Evening Classes in\npurely cultural subjects, and although there\nwas very little time available for the\norganization of the classes, the registration\nand attendance was much better than had\nbeen expected.\nJudging by the attendance, one of the\nmost successful short courses was one on\nArt Appreciation given by Mr. C. H. Scott.\nThe lectures in this course were given at\nthe University on Wednesday afternoons.\nIn co-operation with the Victoria University Extension Association, the Department of Extension has given at Victoria a\nseries of eleven lectures on \"The Changing\nWorld\". This series has been well received\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094over twelve hundred persons attended\nthe eleven lectures.\nExtension lectures have been given also\nat Prince Rupert, Ocean Falls, Powell\nRiver, Nanaimo, Courtenay, Field, Golden,\nRevelstoke, Kamloops, Vernon, Kelowna,\nPenticton, Grand Forks, Trail, Nakusp\nand many other centres. At some of these\ncentres lectures were arranged fortnightly.\nRealizing the wide potentialities of the\nradio as a medium for University Extension, the Department this year established\na University Radio Studio on the campus.\nIt is located in the Agriculture Building.\nThe studio has been acoustically treated\nand is complete with control room, amplifying equipment, microphones, etc. It is\nused, not only for the actual broadcasting\nof programs, but also for rehearsals.\nDuring January and February eleven\nbroadcasts per week were given from the\ncampus.\nwhat price radio?\nIRA DILWORTH\n\"V/ffUSIC is everywhere today: we are walled in by it. I do not refer to that\ncelestial harmony which the poet assures us is in immortal souls and which\nwe are grossly prevented from hearing. It is a more earthly music which in the\npast thirty-five years has become available more easily and to a larger group\nthan ever before. People, to whom symphony was or would be, because of\nfinancial limitations or geographical isolation, merely a name, may now command readily by the turn of a dial the performance of the most accomplished\norchestras and the services of the most celebrated conductors. Homes from\nwhich, for various reasons, dance tunes and music-hall ballads of the most\nharmless types were rigorously excluded, are now filled with the latest jazz and\nswing and are made hideous by the vagaries of the crooner and the vulgar\nyodelings of the synthetic cowboy.\nWhat is to be the result of all this? Quite obviously there may be certain\neffects upon character which may well be of the gravest concern to society but\nwith these aspects of the question we effect upon the art of music itself, or\nneed not deal here, leaving them safely rather with the individual's reaction to\nor otherwise to those who make such that art\u00E2\u0080\u0094a concern which might ulti-\nmatters their own peculiar field of mately be found to involve all the others,\nanxious care. We are concerned with the A writer in the London Musical Times\n(12) not long ago put the matter very succinctly when he said: \"When an art that\nis both too difficult (because of its\nspiritual qualities) and too easy, is made\nsuddenly accessible to everybody by the\npressing of a switch, it is likely to lose\nat least as much as it gains. That is the\ndanger of music today: there is so much\nof it, and it is so promiscuous that it is\nbeing heard rather than listened to. And\nthere are ninety passive listeners to ten\nlive (participative) ones, because listening\ncalls for knowledge as well as effort\".\nNow it is the truth contained in the latter\npart of this statement that may well give\ncause for anxiety to those who believe in\nsuch things as standards of artistic\nachievement, and credit such standards\nwith having a certain value in relation to\nlife. It may help us to glance for a\nmoment at a few of the attitudes that\nare taken towards music by the \"hearers\"\nof this art.\nFirst there is the attitude of the listener who cares for nothing but that his\nevery waking moment shall be filled with\nsomething\u00E2\u0080\u0094if not with physical activity\n(going places, doing things, seeing things)\nthen with sound. Such hearers fill their\nhouses with noise to which they usually\nand, perhaps, fortunately, give no attention. It is interesting to speculate as to\nthe possible effect of becoming thus\ncallous to sound, of having the ability to\ngo on reading or doing one's \"homework\"\nwith the radio going at full blast, only\ngiving evidence of awareness of the\nmusic when it ceases and one becomes\nconscious of some area of emptiness. In\na way contrasted with and yet closely\nrelated to the hearer just described is an\ninteresting late development of the\nhuman species\u00E2\u0080\u0094the \"jitter bug\", as he is\nplayfully called. He cannot be satisfied\nwith hearing jazz but must (and apparently involuntarily) accompany his hearing\nwith the most extraordinary gymnastics,\nsubjecting himself to a long-sustained\nseries of physical and emotional contortions which would place a considerable\ntax upon the powers of endurance of a\nprimitive savage.\nClosely related is the individual for\nwhom music is merely an emotional orgy,\nindulged in as a relaxation. Some one\nhas described this attitude aptly as \"going\ninto a beatific coma\". This individual is\nquite content to sit and let the music\npour over him like warm sunlight or rise\naround him like the relaxing heat of a\nvapour bath. In a world of rush and\nworry this attitude is, Heaven knows,\neasy enough to understand. It is even\ndefensible: there are occasions when this\nsort of experience has its real value. The\ndanger arises when it is made the only\nmanner of approach and when one loses\nsight of the fact that music, like religion,\nhas other than narcotic uses, and may\nengage the individual in even strenuous\nand disciplined activity.\nThere is the attitude of the sentimentalist who knows very little about music\nor anything else firm and definite\u00E2\u0080\u0094but\nwho adores music and poetry; her people\nhave all, always adored them\u00E2\u0080\u0094she just\ncannot get enough of them. After all,\nare they not the universal language of\nthe soul? And she is such an expansive\nsoul! Ask her what music she adores\u00E2\u0080\u0094\n\"Well, I don't know,\u00E2\u0080\u0094just music\u00E2\u0080\u0094I can\nnever get enough of it\".\u00E2\u0080\u0094\"Yes, I know,\nbut whose music?\"\u00E2\u0080\u0094\"Oh, well . . Chopin's\nor Schubert's ... I just love Chopin\".\u00E2\u0080\u0094\n\"Good, I like him, too, but not all of him.\nWhat music of Chopin do you prefer?\"\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094\"Well, I just can't for the moment\nthink of any names, but I love those\nthings he did about the French woman\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nGeorges Sand, wasn't it ? ... and Debussy! Don't you adore Debussy ?\"\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0080\u0094\n\"Yes, I do. I heard 'La Cathedrale\nengloutie' ...\" \"Oh, no please! not that!\nI heard it too when Kosky played it.\nGeorge and I were bored stiff with it\u00E2\u0080\u0094no\ntune at all in it and it was so full of\ndiscords. ... I just don't call that sort of\nthing music at all. . . . But you know the\none about the church under the sea, and\nyou hear the bells and . . . oh, it's just\ntoo romantic. I think they call it 'The\nSunken Cathedral'. I just adore it\u00E2\u0080\u0094it's\nso sweet, such lovely chords, really like\nMendelssohn in places\u00E2\u0080\u0094George likes it,\ntoo. . . . But the other thing you mentioned! I just . . .\" and so she babbles\non. Harmless, you say\u00E2\u0080\u0094Yes if it were\nnot for the fact that this babbler has\nalmost always a good deal of prestige,\nsocial largely, and is listened to enviously\nby others who in turn go to the circles\nwhere they have prestige and explain\nhow musical dear Mrs. Smythe-Jones-\nSmythe is and how she just seems to\nhave heard everything. She has such a\nfeeling for music and can talk so easily\nabout it all! You should have heard her\nput that Miss Blank in her place the\nother day\u00E2\u0080\u0094oh, you know who she is.\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nthe woman who always makes you feel\nso uncomfortable with all her questions.\nThis is the soil in which intellectual dishonesty flourishes.\nSo we could go on describing ourselves\nand our reactions to this most subtle of\nthe arts, in many respects the greatest\nsingle achievement of western civilization,\nand if we were intellectually honest we\nshould discover how little we really\nknow, and would acknowledge with how\ngreat difficulty we give any reason for\nthe faith that is in us when we really do\nprefer one composer's work to that of\nanother, and turn away entirely from\ncertain manifestations of music as being\nunworthy if not actually vulgar.\nSo what? We must listen and feel and\nthink; we must build up a real experience\n(13) of active listening to music. In this way\nwe can develop that thing so badly needed\nin life today\u00E2\u0080\u0094a critical faculty. Eventually we shall acquire the power to\nmake distinctions. We may even find\nourselves in possession of the ability to\nsay with some precision why one thing\nappeals to us more than does another.\nWordsworth long ago said in the course\nof a distinguished critical utterance : \"An\naccurate taste in poetry, and in all the\nother arts, as Sir Joshua Reynolds has\nobserved, is an acquired talent, which can\nonly be produced by thought and a long\ncontinued intercourse with the best\nmodels of composition\".\nThere will be those who will hold that\nWordsworth's statement is too narrow\nand they will be thinking of those rarely\ngifted individuals who from birth have\nthe \"feel of the thing\". One is reminded\nof Charles Cowden Clarke's description\nof the young Keats reading Spenser's\n\"Faerie Queene\" like \"a young horse\nthrough a spring meadow ramping\",\nhoisting himself up at a fine epithet to\nexclaim \"What an amazing image that is\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094'sea-shouldering whales'!\" Keats' spirit\nhad come into its native country, and so\nit is with the small group of really gifted\nmusicians whether they be performers or\nlisteners. But it is well for us to remember that even for Keats the \"accurate\ntaste\" of which Wordsworth spoke was\nan art \"long to lerne\". How much more\ntrue is this for the rest of us.\nOf course, there is no one with an\nounce of wit who does not recognise the\nfact that there are definite limits to the\nextent to which \"accurate taste\" can be\nacquired, and that these limits vary with\nthe individual. Honest men know too\nthat the whole of the mystery of art\ncannot be explained on the basis of the\nresults of even the most minute analysis,\nthat there are great areas of any art\nwhich defy the subtlest exercise of the\nlogical faculty. But to recognise this\nfact is no argument for the acceptance of\nthe obscurantist point of view that everything will come, if at all, as an involuntary flooding in of revelation, that all that\nneed be expected of the listener is that\nhe brings to music a heart that feels.\nAs a stabilizing force, therefore, in the\nweltering experience of music that surrounds us, we should, I think, welcome\nand encourage all agencies (in the schools\nand universities and outside them) which\nare honestly trying to replace the indifferent, sentimental or intellectually snobbish attitude by the development of an\nability to listen actively, patiently, critically. From such a replacement, if it be\nsuccessful, the artistic experience of the\nlistener must be immeasurably enriched.\nthe green room carries on\nFOR twenty-three years now the Players'\nClub has been active on the U. B. C.\ncampus. Around the walls of the Green\nRoom hang all the pictures of plays long\nsince forgotten, plays that are ghosts of\nthe past.\nStill the Players' Club keeps up its tradition. Plays. This year we chose a folk-\nplay, a play of the Irish Renaissance. Difficult as a play of this type was for a\nWestern Canadian group to produce, yet\nthe Club feels that once more it has contributed to the University life. \"The Playboy of the Western World\" is one of the\nbest known dramas of the Irish Renaissance movement. Written by J. M. Synge.\na man with sure knowledge of \"theatre\"\na genuine appreciation of good drama, and\nwith the passionate love of an Irishman\nfor his country, \"The Playboy\" has in it\nthose elements that appeal to all lovers of\nthe theatre. Great beauty of language\nelevates it from the humble, mud-walled\npublic house. Deep and passionate emotion\npervades it. Synge has caught, too, the\nvery essence of Irish humor.\nThe annual Spring Tour maintains another tradition of the Club. The Players'\nClub is the only amateur dramatic society\nin the West of Canada that goes on tour.\nFor many years now the Club has travelled\nall through the Interior of British Columbia, up the West Coast, over to Vancouver\nIsland. In the course of their arduous\njourney (often the curtain rises an hour\nafter the players have arrived in a town'*\nthe Club is leaving behind something tangible for all people to look on and say: \"This\nthing is ours. Our University is responsible for it\".\nMany and varied are the types of drama\npresented by the Club: Henrik Ibsen's\n\"Hedda Gabbler\"; the eighteenth century\ncomedy of manners in Goldsmith's \"Sh\"\nStoops to Conquer\"; a nineteenth century\nhistory play in Alfred Sangster's \"Th\"\nBrontes\". Taking its place with these wir\nbe J. M. Synge's \"Playboy of the Western\nWorld\".\nThe Spring Play and Tour are not the\nonly achievements of the Club, for at\nChristmas all the new members show Vancouver \"what they can do\" in a series of\none-act plays. These newcomers play to\npacked and critical audiences. It bodes\nwell for the future that this year many of\nthe roles in \"The Playboy\" were taken bv\nthe younger generation of the Players'\nClub.\n(14) \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 \"the little menagerie7 today\nDEAN F. M. CLEMENT\nTT IS a long step from those early days when the first class in Agriculture\nentered the University in 1917. Most of the students who make up the\npresent undergraduate body were then unborn. Since that time there have been\ntwenty-one critical years in the history of the University.\nThe first class in the Faculty of Agriculture was made up of seven\nstudents, who were at one time referred to by a Science Professor as \"the\nlittle menagerie\".\nThese men came, one each from Vancouver, Chilliwack, Cloverdale,\nVictoria, Marpole, Summerland and Larkin, British Columbia. The whereabouts of one member of this class is unknown; the second is principal of an\nInterior high school; the third is a Professor in an Eastern State College; ;the\nfourth is a Research Professor at Oxford University; the fifth is a Professor\nin a Mid-West State College;; the sixth is editor of a country newspaper in\nBritish Columbia; and the seventh is velopment of a new type of alfalfa, in the\nfarming in British Columbia. Three of this\noriginal class later obtained the degree of\nDoctor of Philosophy.\nTwo or three members of this original\ngroup left the University before graduation, but the class was joined by a number of men returning from Overseas. The\nfirst degrees were granted to eight students\nin 1921. These are employed as follows:\na Canadian Trade Commissioner, a medical doctor, a business man, two University\nProfessors, Superintendent of an Experimental Farm, a Poultry Commissioner, the\nwife of a prominent political leader.\nDuring the year 1937, twenty-two men\nand women were granted the degree of\nB.S.A. or M.S.A. The whereabouts of one\nof this number is unknown, but all the\nrest are either suitably employed or are\ncontinuing their studies. It is interesting\nto note that the year 1937 was one of the\nbest in our history from the point of view\nof employment for students, and that 1938\npromises to be equally satisfactory.\nWith few exceptions the graduates are\nemployed in Agricultural or in business\nand professions related to Agriculture.\nDuring the last twenty years the demands\nfor men have been increasing in the scientific, professional and business fields, and\nconsequently, with only a limited number\nof graduates available each year, a smaller\npercentage of the total number turn to\nprimary production than was the case\nduring the early part of the century. In a\ngeneral way, about one-third of the graduates go into business, one-third to the\nprofessions, and one-third to farming and\nrelated pursuits.\nWhile important contributions have been\nmade by the graduates to the agricultural\nleadership of the province, mainly through\nDistrict Agriculturists and Horticulturists,\nteachers and representatives of business\nfirms, we should not overlook the direct\ncontributions made by research. Seed\nselection and improvement, and the de-\nDepartment of Agronomy; the study of\nfeeding and breeding in the Department\nof Animal Husbandry; plant nutrition\nand seed testing in the Department of\nHorticulture; breeding and selecting and\nwork with fish oils in the Department of\nPoultry Husbandry; all are of international importance. The contributions to\nthe halibut fishing industry, the paper industry and the cheese industry are outstanding from the Department of Dairying. These are contributions to industry\nthat assist in making possible progressive\ndevelopment of the natural resources of\nthe province.\nThe service work is in some respects\nquite exacting. The Faculty receives, by\nletter, from five to six thousand questions\na year. Some of these can be answered\nquickly, others require some study of the\nliterature. Many samples of milk, scores\nof soil samples, and hundreds of poultry\nare sent to the Faculty annually for\nexamination and diagnosis, as well as many\nsamples of various malformations, diseases,\nweeds, and so forth, in which people are\ninterested. These samples are all examined\nand replies given as quickly as possible.\nThe crowding in the Faculty occurs\nmainly in the laboratories and is confined\nlargely to students of the Third and\nFourth Years. Student laboratories in the\nvarious departments are today providing\nfor about- double the number of students\nthey were intended to accommodate. In\none case three times the number of students for which the laboratory was built\nare being accommodated, and in two departments the laboratories are never idle,\nthe students being looked after by junior\nassistants while the Professor continues\nhis regular duties.\nThe original seven students and those\nwho followed in the rapidly succeeding\nyears, established the tradition of unity,\nco-operation, honor and scholarship that is\nnow the pride of the Faculty.\n(15) \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 Dr. Temperley's incunabulum\nJOHN RIDINGTON\nTJNTIL recent years incunabula\u00E2\u0080\u0094books that are valuable merely on account\nof their age\u00E2\u0080\u0094had to have an imprint before 1500. The Mazarin Bible, the\nfirst book printed from movable type, was printed in 1455, and Fust and\nSchoffer's Mains Psalter two years later.\nLibraries at all times have had a desire to have early specimens of \"the art\npreservative of all arts\", and many of them have gathered together collections\nof representative books tracing the development from the earliest use of\nmovable types right down to the present day. In Canada, McGill has such a\ncollection, as has also our neighboring university at Seattle.\nIn less than four centuries all the processes of printing and publishing have\nbeen revolutionized past belief. Type was then cast by hand, and an expert\nworkman could turn out between two and three thousand characters a day.\nNow, Mergenthaler linotypes cast more pages of type in an hour than a century\nago an expert compositor could set lines in a day, while modern presses can run\noff in an hour more impressions than a\nprimitive hand-press could print in a year.\nThe subsidiary arts of bookbinding and of\nillustration show similar progress, alike in\nbeauty and accuracy, in efficiency and\nspeed. Modern machinery will bind, tool,\nand letter thousands of volumes in an\nhour, while the marvellous developments\nin photographic transmission enable a\nreader, while awaiting the summons to\ndinner, to see the pictorial reproduction of\nincidents that occurred this morning across\nthe Atlantic or Pacific Oceans.\nThese mechanical and scientific developments seem, however, but to stimulate and\nemphasize the interest taken in very old\nbooks, and it is the ambition of every\nlibrary to possess some representative samples of early bookmaking. This desire is\nso general that there has been a disposition\nin recent years to extend the date of imprint for recognized incunabula. The\nincreasing demand for this type of book\nmaterial, together with the relatively very\nsmall amount available, has set the present\ndeadline at 1525\u00E2\u0080\u0094and the probability is\nthat twenty or thirty years hence anything\nissued in the first century of the history of\nprinting will be accepted as valuable on\naccount of its age.\nUntil recently the Library in the University did not own a volume with a fourteen\nhundred imprint. The earliest bore the\ndate of 1509, and the next oldest that of\n1515. Recently, however, it has received as\na gift a volume that, on the strictest interpretation, must be regarded as a genuine\nincunabulum, for it bears the date 1491.\nMoreover, this particular book is of great\nrarity, and much prized by collectors. A\nhundred and thirty years ago\u00E2\u0080\u0094in 1810 to\nbe exact\u00E2\u0080\u0094a copy was offered for sale in\nLondon, and was marked in the catalogue\n\"Editio Rariss\". Brunet, one of the earliest\nand still one of the greatest of bibliog\nraphers, marked the book as \"of very great\nrarity\" in his edition of 1863.\nThe book is Seneca's Tragedy of Hercules Furens, and is the first of the editions\nof the works of that dramatist to be\nprinted. The date is 1491, and the printers,\nAnthonius Lambillon and Marinus Sarazin,\nwere one of the earliest printing firms of\nFrance. Though many copies were issued\nfrom the Lambillon and Sarazin press at\nLyons after 1491, the printing of the particular edition bearing that date was very small.\nProbably there are not half a dozen copies\nin the world today. The pedigree of the\nvolume now owned by the University is\nwell established. It came into the hands of\nMinor Canon Johnson after the Ford sale\nof 1810, ultimately passing into the possession of the firm of David, a well-known\nantiquarian English bookseller, from whom\nit was bought by the donor.\nThe book itself is a really fine specimen\nof early printing. The typography is as\nsharp and brilliant as in the very best of\nthe incunabula. It is printed from a beautiful font of type, the text of the Tragedy\nbeing in larger type, and surrounded by\nhistorical, classical, and literary comment\nin a smaller font. The text is beautifully\nspaced, and symmetrically designed. One\ncan open the volume at any page, and the\ntypographical impression given by the\nformat is artistic and satisfying. The paper\nis weathered to a beautiful cream, and is\nnot anywhere defaced by usage or water\nstains. What is even more unusual, examination of the volume does not reveal a\nsingle case in which the typography is \"fat\"\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094an excess of ink that has run into, and\nblurred the page.\nThe title page and the first two pages\nwere missing, and the hinge of one cover\nweak. It was therefore forwarded to the\nfirm of Stevens & Brown in London for\n(16) renovation. Too much praise cannot be\ngiven for the way in which this has been\ndone. The volume was carefully collated\nwith the unique copy in the British Museum, and permission was received to photograph the lacking pages, which have been\nbound into the book, so that it is now\nactually complete.\nThe volume has no index. Perhaps one\nwas intended to be included, because the\nlast page has the word \"Registrum\" with a\nnote of interrogation thereafter, as though\nLambillon and Sarazin had expected one to\nbe supplied. The only title is Tragediae\nSenecae cum Commento\". The date of\nimprint and other details usual in a modern\ntitle page are put in a colophon at the end\nof the book, which also has the typographical symbol of the printers\u00E2\u0080\u0094an upright\noblong, the lower two-thirds of which is a\ncircle, divided into quadrants with the\ninitials (above) \"A.L.\", and in the lower\nhalf \"M.S.\" The upright line intersecting\nthe upper quadrants is extended to the top\nof the oblong, with a double cross.\nIt is of interest to note that the date of\npublication\u00E2\u0080\u00941491\u00E2\u0080\u0094was exactly three hundred years before Vancouver saw the\nshores of British Columbia and Nootka\nSound.\nFor this interesting and valuable gift the\nLibrary is indebted to Dr. Harold Tem-\nperley of Cambridge University. Two\nyears ago he was a visitor on the Campus\nand was brought to the Library by President Klinck. Dr. Temperley was greatly\ninterested in the things he saw, and had a\nlong and interesting discussion with the\nLibrarian. Before going away, Dr. Temperley said he would have pleasure in\nsending along some little souvenir of a\npleasant morning, and on his return to\nEngland a year later, forwarded the volume, suitably inscribed to \"the Library of\nVancouver University\". In the letter\naccompanying the gift, Dr. Temperley\nnoted that he had presented another incunabulum to the Library of Capetown University. The date of this was 1498\u00E2\u0080\u0094the\nyear in which Vasco da Gama rounded the\nCape of Good Hope.\nOne of the difficulties of a library\nestablished in these modern days is that\npossessions which almost automatically\ncame to ancient institutions have now to be\nbought, if they are acquired at all, and at\ngreat prices, unless they are received as\ngifts from interested friends. There are a\nhundred libraries in Europe that have\nbibliographical treasures which the University of British Columbia cannot hope to\nacquire. The difficulty becomes even\ngreater when an institution is not only\nyoung, but poor. There are many libraries\nin America that have the means to go into\nthe market and buy required or desired\nmaterial, ancient or modern, irrespective of\nits price, but, unfortunately, this University\nis not one of them. For this reason we\nappreciate all the more the kindness of\nfriends who from time to time make gifts\nas appreciated and valuable as is that\ndiscussed in this article.\nDr. Temperley is himself one of the\nmost distinguished of English historical\nscholars. He is University Professor of\nmodern history at Peterhouse College,\nCambridge. He served during the War in\nthe Dardanelles Expedition, and was promoted to the general staff. He is one of\nthe foremost authorities on the Near East,\nhaving served as attache to Serbia, and was\nthe British representative on the Albanian\nFrontiers Commission. With the equally\nwell-known Dr. Gooch, he is editor of the\nBritish Documents on Origins of the War\n(11 volumes), and a dozen other books of\nauthoritative research. He has been President of the International Historical Congress since 1933, and of the Historical\nManuscripts Commission since 1928. Rou-\nmania conferred on him the Order of the\nCrown, and Serbia that of the White\nEagle. Hungary, Roumania and Czechoslovakia have each conferred on him high\ndistinctions.\nThere are several interesting connections\nbetween the University of British Columbia\nand the great English University at Cambridge. Our first President, Dr. F. F.\nWesbrook, was a Fellow of Gonville and\nCaius: Dr. Ashton, the original Head of\nthe Department of Modern Languages, was\nlikewise a Gonville and Caius man. Several\nof his distinguished colleagues in Cambridge, upon hearing of the appointment of\nDr. Wesbrook to the presidency of this\nUniversity, presented to him a commemorative volume on anatomy. This was Godfrey Bidloo's Anatomia Humani Corporis,\npublished in Amsterdam in 1685. Included\namong the ten friends of our first President who autographed the gift are the\nnames of Sir C. S. Sherrington, Sir Walter\nRaleigh, Dr. Noel Paton, and Sir Willia-\nOsier.\n\u00C2\u00B0^o\n(17) annual antic hey hey\nMYRTLE BEATTY\nA YE, and it was a dark and stormy\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0^- night\u00E2\u0080\u0094but little effect did the\nsnow and ice have on the size and\nspirits of the record-breaking crowd\nthat gathered at the Commodore on\nthe night of Dec. 27 for the Annual\nReunion Dance. After this dance\nthere was no doubt left that this\nAlumni get-together is the most popular affair of its kind in the winter\nprogram of fun.\nEverybody was there this year. We\nsaw classmates with whom we hadn't\nchatted since the day we graduated,\naway back when. A lot of our favorite professors were there, too, to add\nto the general exchange of news and\nhello's which played such an important\npart in the evening's enjoyment.\nDuring an early intermission Milt\nOwen read out the Matrimonial News\nfor the past year. A little later Dr.\nSeth Buchanan was called to the platform in his capacity of Sunday School\nSuperintendent to distribute the prizes\nwhich were hanging on a huge and\nbeautifully decorated Christmas Tree.\nWith a few well-chosen words Dr.\nBuchanan presented the following\nprizes to good little alumni who had\nbrought glory to their Alma Mater by\ntheir achievements in different realms\nof endeavor: Temple Keeling won the\nprize for being the most faithful husband (much to Dean Buchanan's\nannoyance) ; on receiving his present\nfor having the largest family, Frank\nRush shouted frantically into the\nmicrophone, \"It's a lie, folks\"; Sherwood Lett received a gorgeous teddy-\nbear for having the most public spirit,\nwhile John Burnett won the award for\ntaking the most public spirit.\nAfter the prize-giving Al Bickell\ntook the floor to give some of the news\nitems of the day, and then started us\nsinging some of the old University\nsongs. This part of the program came\nto a noisy finish with the inevitable\n\"We are, we are, we are the Engineers\" followed by lusty \"boos\" from\nthe Artsmen.\nAnd so, after another hour or two\nof dancing, to bed. See you next year\nat the Reunion Dance.\nauld lang syne\nROBERT H. KING\nTi/rOTION pictures of the U. B. C.\ncontingent leaving for France in\n1916, of the first congregation of the\nUniversity, and of the \"On to Point\nGrey\" campaign and parade in 1922\nbrought back fond recollections to a\nloyal audience of \"Old Grads\" as\nannual Homecoming Theatre Night\nprovided a fitting climax to a day and\ntwo nights of festivities, Oct. 29 and\n30, 1937. Graduates and undergraduates alike thrilled to the splendid\nexhibition of co-operative spirit shown\nby the students of '22, and there were\ntears welling in the eyes of some as\nthey recognized faces in the passing\nparade of U. B. C.\nThere was a significant tenseness in\nthe silence as a transcription of the\n\"Varsity Time\" radio dramatization of\nU. B. C.'s historical highlights was\nplayed, and graduates were young\nagain as they softly whistled accompaniment to the quartet singing Varsity\nsongs. The spirit of '22 lived again\non the campus that Saturday night,\n(18) for the transcription received a spontaneous ovation which must have\nthrilled even the most prosaic sophomore of today.\nMilton Owen, newly-elected president of the Alumni Association,\nwarmly expressed the mixed feelings\nof joy and sadness with which the 400\ngraduates returned to their Alma\nMater for a day, and introduced three\nother former A. M. S. presidents:\nSherwood Lett, John Oliver, and William Whimster.\nOwen dramatically conducted the\ntraditional alumni roll-call, graduates\nrepresenting all classes from 1916 to\n1937 standing as their year was called.\nDramatic entertainment, light in\ntexture, was delicately handled by\nundergraduate members of the Players' Club and Musical Society, while\nDorwin Baird gave continuity to the\nevening's program in his capacity as\nmaster of ceremonies, providing a\nwell-organized running commentary to\nthe silent films.\nInformal reunion dinners in the\n\"Caf\" filled the gap for some between\nthe afternoon games in the new\nStadium and Theatre Night, while\nothers found diversion at the tea dance\nin the Gym. Both English and Canadian rugby teams thrilled their audience with wins that day, the latter\ngaining their second victory in four\nyears over a prairie team.\nA student \"Rugby Rally\" at the\nPalomar, Friday evening, was well-\npatronized by alumni, who found an\nopportunity there to get in the college\nmood for the next day's festivities;\nmany of them coming over to the\ndance at the conclusion of the Alumni\nAssociation's annual banquet in Spencer's dining room that evening.\nFor some, the celebration did not\nend with the final curtain on Saturday\nnight, but all who thrilled to the films\nand roll-call were touched on their\nhomeward way with just a little of\nthat profound sentiment which is the\nsacred privilege of \"Old Grads\"\nthroughout the world.\nalumni players' club\nJAMES GIBSON\nA T the moment of going to press,\nrehearsals are in full swing for\nthe Alumni Players' Club fifth annual\ngraduation play. To mark the centenary of the London premiere of one of\nthe favorite plays of last century, the\nAlumni has chosen \"The Lady of\nLyons\" by Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton.\nThe production will be after the\nmanner of the London theatre of 1838,\nand it is expected that this gentle\nmelodrama, played with all the sincerity which first delighted fashionable\naudiences at Covent Garden, will have\nan unusual dramatic appeal to graduate audiences. Principal parts will be\nplayed by Diana Drabble, Josephine\nHenning, and Elizabeth Jack; and by\nCyril Chave, Judson Kirby, William\nRose, Richard Harris and Edward\nChamberlain.\nPlayers' Club alumni have had a\nseason of unusual interest. In June,\n1937, a select committee was set up to\ninvestigate future acting possibilities,\nand at a first meeting, Oct. 30, it was\ndetermined to produce a three-act play.\nOn the recommendation of the play-\npolicy committee, and in keeping with\nthe theory that what was needed was\nsomething \"stark, honest, gripping,\nadult, but with plenty of laughs and a\nlittle hokum\", the club went Hollywood and produced, privately in the\nUniversity Theatre, Jan. 15, the much-\npublicized \"Boy Meets Girl\" of Samuel and Bella Spewack. Casting was\nfun enough, rehearsals brought to light\nmuch unexpected talent, (as when one\nAlumnus played seven different roles\nin one evening\u00E2\u0080\u0094we have it on authority he appeared in every part, male and\nfemale, before the dress rehearsal),\nand the final performance attracted a\n(19) near-capacity audience to Point Grey.\nBackstage observers were much\ntaken by the antics of the team of\nBenson and Law. In their own words,\nthey were not writers, but hacks; but\nthe lately-discovered Wilmer Hag-\ngerty (in undergraduate days he was\na technical member) and the veteran\nand perennially youthful William Rose\nset a fast pace and a lively tone for\nthe whole performance. The girl was\nplayed by Dorothy McKelvie Fowler\n(costumes and all); the boy by Douglas Brown (who, both in the play and\nin real life was/has been a Cambridge\nundergraduate). Of the other seasoned\ntroupers, we had a full-blown sub-\nwestern star in Judson Kirby and a\nvery hard-worked, not very-hard-boiled\n(i.e., Harvard '19) producer played\nby David MacDonald; a tempestuous\nsong-writer played by Jack Emerson,\nwho became so violent that he invented\nlines as he went along; and an anonymous young man (who actually missed\nthe cue for his single line at the dress\nrehearsal but who had a great moment\nof solitary glory the next night)\nplayed by Arthur Lord.\nTwo husbands and two wives\n(Richard and Ellen Harris and Cyril\nand Estelle Chave) shared roles as\ndiverse as a sceptical doctor, a much-\nmaligned private secretary, a studio\nofficer (something less than a detective\nbut more than a bouncer) and a nurse.\nTo complete the cast, and with a\nvariety of talent, were Eleanor Riggs,\nMarv McGeer, James Gibson, Geoffrey'Woodward and W. H. (old Q.)\nCameron.\nThe club was fortunate to have Mrs.\nHunter Lewis to direct, and Mrs.\nF. G. C. Wood gave valuable assistance. In charge of scenery\u00E2\u0080\u0094a striking\nstudy in apple green, black and\nchromium, were Frank Pumphrey,\nJohn F. Davidson, and an expert crew\nfrom the Players' Club headed by\nWilliam Johnson, James Fields and\nJohn Quigg.\nAlfreda Thompson supervised the\ncostumes, Hazel Merten the properties,\nMargaret Ecker took charge of publicity, and Secretary Marjorie Griffin\ntook over the front-of-the-house\nduties. Lighting was under David\nMacDonald and the beneficent eyes of\nthe University Electrician and the Fire\nChief. (If the Fire Chief laughs, by\nthe way, the show must be good).\nThe Treasurer astounded his colleagues by recruiting a force of\n\"undercover men\" from University\nHill with utmost alacrity. On the final\nnight they folded programs, manned\nthe projection room which didn't project, shifted scenery and finally helped\nto count the collection.\nAfter the performance Mrs. Harris\ngraciously loaned her home for a\nparty. Early in the session .there had\nbeen another party at which Mrs.\nJames McGeer and Miss Mary McGeer were hostesses.\nProfessor F. G. C. Wood is honorary president of the Players' Club\nAlumni; the executive comprises Cyril\nChave, president; Douglas Brown,\nvice-president; Marjorie Griffin, secretary; James Gibson, treasurer, and\nWilmer Haggerty.\nTHE UNIVERSITY FOREST\nTHE older \"grads\" will hardly recognize the University Forest, now that\nextensive improvements have been made.\nFormerly the 235-acre strip of woods\nalong Marine Drive was a tangled mass of\nwild growth, windfalls and brush, but for\nthe past two years relief labour under the\nGovernment's Forest Development Project\nhas been at work on silvicultural improvements in this area. Sixty to eighty men,\nworking for a period of from four to five\nmonths each winter, have cleaned up the\nwindfalls, dead snags, and brush in the\nentire strip immediately along Marine\nDrive. Thirty-two acres have been planted\nwith approximately thirty-five thousand\nDouglas fir, spruce and white pine trees.\ntrails have been improved and swamp\nareas drained. Rustic benches have replaced the old logs where students were\nwont to eat lunch on sunny days or study.\nThe Forest is an outdoor laboratory for\nstudents in the Departments of Forestry,\nBotany and Zoology and in time will be a\nvaluable demonstration to the public in the\nmanagement of a forest area for sustained\nyield.\n(20) new curricula in forestry\nFORESTRY in British Columbia is a\ncomparatively recent profession but it\nis expanding steadily and is requiring more\nand more the services of specialists who\nare thoroughly trained in various branches\nof science, engineering and economics. To\nprepare young men better for this growing\nprofession, the Forestry curriculum at\nU. B. C. was revised and enlarged last year.\nGraduates and other readers of the Alumni\nChronicle will be interested to know the\nreasons for, and the nature of, these\nchanges.\nWhen the Department of Forestry at\nU. B. C. was started, and the first courses\ngiven during the 1921-22 Session, the\ndemand for foresters in {he province was\nmainly in connection with forest exploitation. The positions available were in timber-survey work, cruising, and the development of forest properties so that the timber\ngrowing on rough and difficult topography\ncould be logged as cheaply as possible. At\nthis stage of development, forest engineers\nwere necessary and an engineering training\ndesirable. As a result, the Forestry curriculum, as originally formulated, was a\ncombination of forestry and civil engineering together with subjects in other branches\nof engineering most useful to the forester\nengaged in the harvesting of the forest\nresource. For sixteen years no basic\nchanges were made in this curriculum.\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 In the meantime the opportunities for\nforestry graduates were expanding and\nchanging. Forest engineering is still an\nimportant phase of forestry but it is not the\nonly field open to Forestry graduates.\nMore and more the attention of foresters\nwill be focused on the management of\nforests for a sustained production of the\nproducts upon which so large a proportion\nof the people of this province depend for\na livelihood. For this large and diversified\ntask, experts with different types of training are required. Men are needed in silviculture, in mensuration and management,\nin protection, in forest economics and\nadministration, and in utilization, including\nnot only the harvesting of the mature\ntimber and the development of markets for\nthe present products but also for the discovery of new uses for woods which are\nnow considered of little value. The field\nis very large, and the opportunities are\nincreasing as new and better methods are\ndeveloped.\nTo meet the demands of an expanding\nprofession, new curricula were inaugurated\nin the 193.7-38 Session. Four avenues of\napproach are now open to students who\nwish to enter Forestry, namely: through\nbroad training in any one of the curricula\nin Botany, Commerce, Economics, or Engineering. In all four options, one or two\npre-technical forestry subjects are taken in\ncommon in each pf the Second, Third and\nFourth years. Students will start some of\ntheir forestry subjects as early as the\nSecond year instead of waiting until the\nFourth year, which has been the case\npreviously. Students from all options\nmerge in the final year for intensive work\nin Forestry subjects only.\nThe new curricula have the advantage of\nflexibility in that they allow the student to\nselect an aspect of Forestry, and a corresponding field of study, to which he is\nattracted and for which he may be specially\nadapted. Thus, a varied but thorough\ncourse of studies prepares the student to\nenter the widely diversified forestry activities of the province or of the continent, or\nto undertake graduate work in the field of\nhis undergraduate preparation, or in a\nspecialized field of Forestry.\nTHIS IS CRICKET\nTHE first venture of U. B. C. into local\ncricket competition, which is being\nundertaken this summer, is one in which it\nis hoped members of the Alumni Association will play a large part.\nThe U. B. C. Cricket Club, now an officially recognized campus unit, has entered\na team in the first division of the Mainland\nLeague this summer, with matches starting\nApril 30th.\nSince the constitution of the club provides for the inclusion of graduates as well\nas undergraduates in such a team, the\nexecutive are fortunate in having this\nopportunity to acquaint Alumni members\nwith the formation of the club, and inviting\nthose interested in cricket to co-operate in\nthe scheme.\nSubscription rates have been set at $5\nper season, or, for members playing less\nthan 50 per cent of scheduled matches,\n$2.50.\nMembers of the Alumni Association keen\nto play are urged to contact any one of the\nfollowing:\nDave Carey, 2825 S. W. Marine Drive,\nVancouver; Kerr. 3148.\nDr. Harry Warren, 4634 West Tenth,\nVancouver; Ell. 946-L.\nBasil Robinson, 3915 W. 34th, Vancouver; Kerr. 3636-R.\n(21) letters to the editor\nOn board the R.M.S. \"Apapa\",\nJanuary 9, 1938.\nDear Mr., Mrs., or Miss Editor:\nJust a note to tell you in gossip that if\nyou can wait until the end of May I could\nsend you a bit of cheer about British West\nAfrica, which I am visiting until about\nApril 23.\nBut if you can't wait I can say now that,\nafter being hailed by Mr. and Mrs. David\nBrock in the Piccadilly Tube Station, and\nbeing told that Mr. and Mrs. Brit Brock\n(Sc. and Arts '26) were returning to\nRhodesia today, I left for Liverpool on\nJanuary 5 and bumped into (literally) John\nFarrington (Sc. '28) who is now married\nto a charming lady from Natal, and is on\nthe same boat on his way to the Gold\nCoast. He saw Hec. Munro (Arts '27) in\nSouth Africa and I saw him last Monday\nin London. John F. also talked of Ear'\nGillanders and others in South Africa. I\nget off at Bathurst, Gambia, where I expect\nto see Ron Gratton (Arts '27) now married. I proceed later to Sierra Leone, Gold\nCoast and Nigeria, and in the last-named\ncolony, expect to see Bill Phillips (Sc. '26).\nSo, once again, it is a small world for\nU.B.C. folk!\nOn second thoughts I find I've done my\nchat, so I won't bother about the economy,\netc., of B. W.

W. 1.\n(Editor's Note: The following is a letter\nreceived from Alice Weaver Hemming\n(Arts '25), which we cannot resist quoting\nin its entirety, since it breathes so much of\nAlice's own wit, freshness and vitality).\nLondon, March 15, 1938.\nThank you so much for paying me the\ncompliment of asking me to write a London\nletter. You say it is rather urgent, so, as\nthe \"Queen Mary\" sails tomorrow, I shall\nrush this off by this evening's post.\nThe newest recruit to the U. B. C. colony\nin London in my own sphere of interest is\nMrs. Laugharne (pronounced, in true English fashion, \"Larn\"), who was dear to us\nall in the old days as Grace Smith of\nArts '25.\nGrace looks very pretty with her hair\ntaken straight back in almost Oriental\nsimplicity, and her ever-active brain is as\nfull of ideas as ever. She and her husband\nand their baby girl (just learned to walk\nand very proud of the fact) have come to\nlive in London from Japan.\nThey have settled in a maisonette (two-\nstorey apartment) near Kensington Gardens, and Grace is full of schemes for\npromoting a knowledge of Canada in England and vice versa through University\nGraduates' Chronicles, so beware. She is\nactually seeing Mr. Vincent Massey, Canadian High Commissioner, next week about\nher excellent scheme.\nFrom her I learnt that Jean Davidson\n(Arts '21) is here for a year as an exchange teacher and finds the whole thing\nfascinating; and that Mary Harvey (Arts\n'25) is secretary to the head of a business\norganization here and likes it so much that\nshe never wants to go home.\nShe met Grace Laugharne in Japan some\nyears ago, and then made a most remarkable trip from Japan to India, which she\ncrossed by rail; then she took a boat up\nthe Persian Gulf and a motor conveyance\n(I know the sort, like those wobbly old\nlorries we met in Africa) over the desert\n(with many Ethel M. Dell-like experiences,\nI hear) to the Suez Canal, and so across\nEurope to London.\nMr. and Mrs. Norman Prentice (Pearl\nStewart '23) passed through London on a\nbusiness trip to France, and Suzanne Jackson is enjoying her year as exchange\nteacher.\nOne evening Beattie McLean (Arts '28).\nwho is also here on exchange, and whom\nwe see quite often, came in with Cedric\nDuncan (Arts '25), who takes his holidays\nfrom chartered accountancy in the winter\ntime and travels\u00E2\u0080\u0094this time to England instead of to his beloved Tahiti.\nNo use telling you that Tom Brown and\nhis bride came to see us just after their\nwedding, because they're back in Vancouver now and they can tell you about that\nthemselves.\nSometimes I see Sidney Risk at First\nNights. He is always full of mysterious\nactivity vaguely connected with the theatre.\nAnd then there's Laurence Meredith, who\ncame to my Christmas Tree party and who\nis a star turn for United Press here.\nHe would have been Santa Claus at the\nparty only Arthur Johnston, the Rhodes\nScholar, had done it so successfully the\nyear before that I hated to do him out of\nhis job.\nArthur wasn't so good this year, though.\nWhen Santa Claus handed my small\ndaughter (not so small, aged six) her\npresent, she said, quite innocently: \"Thank\nyou, Arthur\". It was quite a shock, but\nwe pretended not to notice.\nRuth and Les Brown don't live so very\nfar from me and we see each other quite\noften. Ruth (who was Ruth Fraser, '26)\n(22) sometimes brings her little boy and girl to\ntea with my two and we take them across\nRegents Park from my house to the Zoo.\nThat's what we of the older generation\nhave come to!\nLes, whom I once got in a class draw\n(Arts '28, of course) is a flourishing\nAssistant Trade Commissioner, and has\nbeen sent to West Africa at the moment to\nshow them.\nI (Alice Weaver, if you like) can't believe it myself, but I have become club\nwoman enough to look after the hostesses\nat the Canadian Women's Club here, and\nthat's where I see Mrs. Douglas Roe and\nother oldtimers in London.\nThe said Club gave a whale of a Coronation Tea Dance last year, by the way. I\nmention it because there were 1200 Canadians present, and someone had the temerity to ask if there were any left in Canada!\nI have actually found myself a little\nniche in Fleet Street as Girl Friday to the\nMarquess of Donegall, who writes a page\nevery week in the Sunday Dispatch about\neverybody and everything. It's a peach of\na job with plenty of free time and plenty\nof \"perks\" (in the form of amusing first\nnights, night club openings, and free meals\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094also swarms of most awe-inspiring people\nto rub elbows with).\nBut then, I'm one of those horrible people\nwho always gets a kick out ot everything,\nso you can't trust my judgment. There\nwas a sailboat on the Daimation Coast last\nsummer, for instance, and the decorating\nof my house, and the proposed trip to\nEgypt. I am such a confirmed enthusiast\nthat you simply can't trust me.\nBut do let me say that from this distance\nit seems to me you all have an awful cheek\nto expect the ratepayers to pay more taxes\nand aid you still more with a higher education that is already amazingly cheap as it is.\nIt seems to me that with all the initiative\nthe youth of British Columbia possesses it\ncould easily raise the extra $25 in fees if it\nwanted to badly enough.\nBut if there is overcrowding, for goodness' sake make the entrance exams a bit\nstiffer and the standard higher. You can\nalways do with it. Even the greatest\noptimist will admit that in his day, no\nmatter when that may have been, there\nwere a good many of us who weren't the\nfinest examples of serious-minded students.\nThere, take that!\nIf you don't like any or all of this letter,\ndo please ditch it. In the meantime my\nenthusiasm still belongs largely to U. B. C.\nALICE HEMMING.\nGRADUATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY\nUNDER the general title \"Nationalism\nin the Far East\", the Graduate\nHistorical Society of the University of\nBritish Columbia heard papers on conditions in the Orient during the 1937-3S\nseason. The program, in detail, was as\nfollows:\n\"Orientals in British Columbia\", Mr.\nChas. Woodsworth.\n\"The Evolution of the Kuomintang\", Mr.\nV. Hill.\n\"Conflict of National Policies in Manchuria\", Mr. Robt. McKenzie.\n\"Siam\", Miss Helen Ferguson.\n\"The Phillipines\", Miss Rose Whelan.\n\"Conflict of Religions as a Barrier to\nIndian National Unity\", Miss M. Root.\n\"The Decline of the British Raj\", M~\nF. Hardwick.\nWith the exception of the first paper bv\nMr. Chas. Woodsworth, all papers were\ngiven by members of the Society. The\nAnnual Banquet, held in David Spencer's\nDining Room on March 5th, was the occasion of a brilliant address by Professor\nHenry F. Angus on \"Canada and the\nPacific\". All papers have been of exceptional interest and followed by lively discussions by the members of the society.\nSOCIAL SERVICE ALUMNI CLUB\nTHE Social Service Alumni Club was\nformed in the fall of 1934 by a group\nof the Social Service graduates who wished\nto continue their interest in University\naffairs, especially those pertaining to their\nown field. All graduates holding diplomas\nin Social Service from this and other Universities were invited to join. The group\nplanned to study and discuss the Social\nService course given at the University\nwith a view to offering suggestions as to\nhow it could be made more valuable. The\nobjects are to maintain high professional\nstandards in the course and to further\nprofessional developments of the members.\nIn the seven years that the course has\nbeen given, there have been seventy-one\nreceiving diplomas and the majority are\nengaged in work in the public and private\nagencies of British Columbia.\n(23) TORONTO BRANCH\nTHE first meeting of the season took\nthe form of a dinner at Hunt's Bloor\nand Yonge Street Restaurant on Thursday, October 28, 1937. The following\nExecutive was elected:\nPresident, Dr. Maxwell A. Cameron.\nHonorary President, Mrs. D. R. Michener.\nSecretary-Treasurer, Emma Wilson.\nCommittee: Margaret Stewart, Cecilia\nLong, Dr. Clare Horwood, Stuart\nKeate.\nMembers were reminded that the\nExecutive will forward Alumni fees at\nany time. Brief and entertaining speeches\nspeeches were given by Mr. J. W. Bishop\nand Mr. Stuart Keate.\nThe next function was a tea at Haddon\nHall on Sunday, December 5. On this\noccasion, Mrs. Michener extended a cordial invitation to the members of the\nAlumni Association to attend a tea at\nher home on Sunday, January 23.\nThe Association is again co-operating\nwith the Toronto Alumni of the Universities of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and\nAlberta in their annual dance which is\nbeing held at the King Edward Hotel on\nThursday, March 10.\nThe year's activities will probably be\nrounded off with a luncheon sometime in\nApril, but plans for this are merely tenta^\ntive, depending on the wishes of the\nExecutive at the next meeting.\nVICTORIA BRANCH\nAT the conclusion of a second successful year the Victoria Alumni feel\nthat the effort to organize a Victoria\nBranch of the University Alumni Association has been very worth-while. One\nof the most gratifying results has been\nthe opportunity given Alumni to meet or\nbecome better acquainted with other\ngraduates of this city. Many of the\nearlier functions had been planned with\nthis end in view.\nThe first meeting in the fall of 1937\nwas held on October 4, and took the form\nof a dinner at which Dr. Buchanan was\nguest speaker. The following officers\nwere elected for the term 1937-38:\nHonorary President, Dr. H. E. Young.\nPresident, Mrs. Hazel Hodson.\nVice-President, Mr. Ron Burns.\nMembership Secretary, Miss Jean\nGilley.\nRecording Secretary, Miss Phoebe\nRiddle.\nTreasurer, Mr. Don Bell.\nExecutive Committee: Miss Olive Heritage, Miss Isabella Beveridge, Mr.\nHarry Hickman, Dr. Allon Peebles.\nA real University spirit prevailed when,\nafter Dr. Buchanan had spoken, all the\nguests joined in community singing.\nThe next meeting, held November 26.\ntook us back to our University days\nwhen we were young and a little more\nfoolish. After a short business meeting\nthe entire evening was devoted to various\ngames of a lighter nature. Then to cater\nto a more serious mood, the guests were\nsubjected to a good old-fashioned spelling\nbee. However, this too followed the\ntheme of the evening and proved to be\nmore entertaining than educational.\nDr. Sedgwick spoke to us January 25\non \"The Problem of the University, Here\nand Elsewhere\".\nThe book reading and study groups,\nplanned last year, have been left until\nsome future time since there were not\nenough interested to form a separate\ngroup.\nOn March 25 a bumper meeting was\nheld at Victoria College, at which Milt\nOwen and Ken Beckett, President and\nSecretary, respectively, of the Alumni\nExecutive, and David Carey, President of\nthe Alma Mater Society for 1937-38, were\npresent and spoke on the overcrowding\nsituation at the University and on plans\nfor Convocation. The documentary film\nwas shown, and altogether the meeting\nwas most enthusiastic.\nMONTREAL\nGRADUATES in Montreal are helping\nto keep the financial mechanism of\nthe Dominion in motion, though they\ndisclaim actual responsibility for the conduct of St. James Street. George Luxton\n('33), winner of the Royal Bank Scholarship, wrote a brilliant thesis for his M.A.\nat McGill under Stephen Leacock, and\nafter graduation joined the foreign investments division of the Sun Life Assurance\nCompany head office. Since January,\n1937, he has been economist for the International Bond and Share Corporation and\nlooks out from the other side of Dominion\nSquare with as much geniality as most\neconomists muster. A graduate of '33 in\nCommerce and '34 in Arts. Charles Duff\nWilson, looks out over another corner of\nDominion Square, to wit. from the Statistical Bureau of the Canadian Pacific\nRailway Company's head offices. Duff\ntransferred his activities to Montreal\nafter an apprenticeship with the Economic Council in Victoria.\nAlso in Montreal we used to meet Dr.\nJohn Stanley Allen, in his davlight hours\nRegistrar and head of the Physics Department of Sir George Williams College,\nand after dark a power behind many of\nthe causes against which some parts of\nthe Padlock Act were directed. Having\nwatched him in action as a political\nspeaker in areas as widely separated as\nOrillia, Collins Bay, Kingston and West-\nmount, we can only conclude that public\nopinion has only itself to blame if it\nremains uninformed after some of his\ncampaigns\n(24) OTTAWA SPEAKS\nVERNON BRANCH\nIN common with other Alumni groups\nthe Ottawa group struggles on against\nan insidious lack of spirit or interest.\nFrankly, we have little reason for holding\nan annual reunion and, as a result, a\nmiserable turn-out is the usual reward of\nall hard-working executives. Why? Are\nthe U. B. C. Alumni without pep, pride in\ntheir Alma Mater, or the common human\nvirtue of sociability? Are they a supine\nbunch of mice or are they (as they used\nto imagine themselves) a superior race\namong men?\nOne reason for the apathy in Ottawa\nmay be our distance from the Cairn.\nVarsity news comes to us only as mildly-\namusing anecdotes, gleaned from a week-\nold Vancouver paper or retold by an\nitinerant grad from the Coast. This difficulty is partly inevitable\u00E2\u0080\u0094but partly due\nto our failure, individually, to keep in\ntouch with the Alumni Association.\nThe second reason for the spiritlessness\nof the Ottawa group is undoubtedly the\nlack of a common interest here. Since\nwe represent classes as widely apart as\nArts 19 and Science '36, very few of us\nknew each other at U. B. C. (and we've\nall, apparently, become so damned Eastern that we don't like to speak until\nwe've been introduced!)\nHowever, this latter difficulty can be\novercome. Every U. B. C. grad is interested in listening to some of the old (i.e.,\nformer) professors, and we intend holding impromptu luncheons if those professors who intend to come to Ottawa\nwill only advise us a few days in advance.\n(Profs., please note!). And we want any\nactive alumni who are coming through to\nstop off at Ottawa and give us a\n\"refresher\" course in Varsity spirit.\n(Attention, Sherwood Lett, Bill Murphy,\nJohn Burnett, et al!)\nAnd for the immediate future we've got\nan ideal common interest in the shape of\na pressing obligation to pay two dollars\napiece towards the Brock Memorial Fund.\nNothing binds a group like a common\ntask. In Ottawa there are fifty-odd\ngraduates\u00E2\u0080\u0094all living in luxury off the\nbounty of Canada. Surely we can send in\na round hundred dollars, at least, to\nOrson Banfield. (For details, consult\nyour Chronicle) . We're going to try to\ncanvass every Ottawa grad personally\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nand if Orson doesn't receive a hundred\ndollars by midsummer, you grads in Vancouver, Kimberley and Prince Rupert\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nyes, and even in Toronto\u00E2\u0080\u0094can assume a\nsuperiority complex. But until then, give\nus credit for trying.\nROSS TOLMIE,\nPresident, Ottawa Branch.\nOFFICERS for the year 1937-38: Pres-\nident, Mr. J. F. MacLean; Vice-\nPresident, Mr. F. Mutrie ; Secretary, Miss\nMarjorie Dimock; Treasurer, Mr. Page\nRobinson, (later) Mr. H. D. Pritchard.\nThe Vernon Branch of the U. B.

Our group again sponsored the University Extension Lectures.\nWe followed, with a few minor changes,\nlast year's plan of selling family season\ntickets at $1 each for the full programme\nof lectures. The response was good and\nattendance at these lectures has run from\n100 to 300.\nWe have also discussed ways and\nmeans of assisting the Alumni Association in its long-term programme of education toward a fuller appreciation of\nthe part the University plays in the life\nof our province.\nWEST KOOTENAY BRANCH\nTHE West Kootenay Branch of the\nU. B. C. Alumni Association held its\nannual reunion at Trail, November 13,\n1937. The occasion was featured by\nseparate banquets for the men and women\nmembers followed by a very successful\ndance, invitations to which were extended\nto non-members. The women's banquet\nhad an attendance of 25 and the men's\nbanquet an attendance of 34 members.\nA business meeting formed part of the\nprogramme at each banquet. A motion\nproviding for the election of a President,\nSecretary-Treasurer and three Executive\nmembers by the men and a Vice-President and three Executive members by the\nwomen, was introduced and passed at\neach meeting. Election of officers for\nthe year 1937-38 were then held in each\ninstance.\nSteps are being taken to strengthen\nthe organization and this year we are\nhoping to introduce another social function in the Spring, The ladies, who are\nvery active in this branch of the association, held a tea for members on Saturday,\nFebruary 26.\n(25) summer session\nC. W. MacLACHLAN\nT^HE Summer Session at U. B. C. was started in 1920 to enable teachers to\nprocure their First Class Certificates and thus to raise the Academic\nStandards of the teaching profession in British Columbia. One of the founders\nwas Dr. G. G. Sedgwick, and he has since done invaluable work in developing\nthe Summer Session to its present position.\nAt the start two problems presented themselves, these being status and finance.\nThere were many who looked on the Summer Session as an agent for lowering\nthe standard of the University, and they did all in their power to thwart the\nmovement. This feeling of animosity towards the teachers was eliminated when\nit was found that these hard-working people, who had learned the value of\nmoney and the worth of a higher education, won very high marks in the subjects\nstudied, marks that far outshone the marks of the Winter Session. This is no\nidle boast, for statistics in the Administration Office will prove the statement,\nand authorities make this statement to the Summer Session students each year.\nThe next problem that had to be met was for the B.A. degree, Summer Session\nin connection with finance. Who was to\npay for running a summer school for the\nteachers? The fee levied on the students\nwas a little higher than that charged in\nWinter Session but Summer Session has\nevery year shown a profit on operating\ncosts. This balance has been declared even\nin the last three years when the policy-\nhas been to bring in visiting lecturers of\noutstanding qualifications.\nA few figures will help to trace the\ngrowth of Summer Session. In 1926, the\nnumber attending was 438, and from that\nyear to 1930 it maintained a level. In 1931\nthe number decreased a little, probably due\nto depression difficulties. The low was\nreached in 1933 when the attendance was\n370 students. However, the next session\nwitnessed an increase to 463. In 1936 the\nattendance was 562 and last session there\nwere 671 students enrolled. It is anticipated that there will be almost 750 in the\nSummer Session of 1938.\nAnother interesting fact taken from this\nchart is in connection with the number of\ngraduates attending Summer Session. In\n1930 there were only 49 in attendance while\nlast year there were 183 enrolled. The\nfuture of Summer Session seems to centre\naround these people, many of whom have\ngraduated from Summer Session and who\nhave thus learned to appreciate their hard-\nearned education. It is not too much to\nanticipate the time when the University\nSummer Session will be completely a\nGraduates' School, where teachers may\nstudy for their Master's and their Doctor's\ndegree.\nIn the beginning teachers were forced to\ntake preparatory reading courses on the\nwork they planned to cover in the Summer\nSession. They were able to take as many\nas twelve units, but this number has since\nbeen reduced to six. In order to qualify\nstudents had to take a final examination\ncovering the fields in which they majored\nand minored, and this proved to be a very\nheavy and unfair test. This was eliminated\nin 1926.\nAt first, the number of subjects given in\nthe summer was very limited, mainly\nLanguages and English. Mathematics was\ngiven grudgingly and it was some time\nbefore any Sciences were included. There\nis still a very limited range in Science, but\nthis is gradually being widened. A popular\nfield in recent years has been in Psychology\nbecause of its special application to\nteaching.\nThe Summer Session students have had\na long fight to obtain a Master's Degree\nfor Summer Session work, but in the winter of 1936 the Senate decided to grant the\nMaster's Degree in Education. The pre\nrequisites are a Teacher Training Course\nwith certain credits in Education.\nFor the Summer Session of 1938 the\nSenate plans to bring in several outstanding lecturers. Probably one of the most\nfamous will be Florence Mateer, of the\nPsychological Service, Columbus, Ohio. In\na field new to Summer Session will come\nWilliam F. Redding, Assistant Superintendent of Secondary Schools, Providence,\nR. I. Mr. Redding is a lecturer at Brown\nUniversity as well.\nOther visitors for the summer will be:\nPsychology\u00E2\u0080\u0094Frank Davis, Ph.D., University of California at Los Angeles.\nMathematics \u00E2\u0080\u0094 Prof. John Matheson,\nHead of the Department of Mathematics.\nQueen's University.\nHistory\u00E2\u0080\u0094Chester Martin, M.A., B.Litt..\nLL.D., F.R.S.C, Head of the Department\nof History, University of Toronto.\nWalter Langsam, B.S., A.M., Ph.D., from\nColumbia.\n(26) \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 the alumni grow up\nKENNETH M. BECKETT\nT^HE relentless march of time has brought us to another in the countless\ncollection of milestones that are forever being held up, pointed at with pride\nand utilized as occasions for celebrations, temperate or otherwise. In the face\nof that inexorable process, it is important to Alumni, if to no one else, to pause\nand contemplate the fact that the Alumni Association has \"come of age\". Two\nyears ago the twenty-first birthday of the University was acknowledged with\ndue ceremony. The similar achievement of the Association should at least be\nmentioned.\nOn May 4, 1917, a group of graduates convened at the \"shacks\" in Fairview\nto organize an Alumni Association, and did so with despatch. The birth of this\ninevitable offspring of any university is contained in a 14-word minute that is\na masterpiece of brevity: \"Moved by Miss Peck and Mr. Wright that an Alumni.\nAssociation be formed. Carried\". This is probably the shortest minute on the\nbooks of the Association. The first constitution contained nine clauses that did\nnot fill one page; the present one has_ 18 this dance was held on March 22, 1919, in\nclauses and fills four pages. The first\nPresident was J. E. Mulhern. The first\nHonorary President was, of course. Dr.\nWesbrook. The other pioneers were Miss\nLaura Pim and Dr. C. A. Wright, vice-\npresidents ; Merrill DesBrisay, secretary-\ntreasurer; Miss Shirley Clement, recording\nsecretary; Miss Isobel MacMillan, Miss\nGrace Millar, and Sherwood Lett representing Arts '16; and Evelyn Storey (Lett),\nJohn Mennie and Pat Fraser representing\nArts '17.\nHistory has left its imprint indelible on\nthe minutes of those early years. One of\nthe first resolutions passed conferred active\nmembership \"on all graduates on active\nservice without payment of fee\". Much\nconsideration was given to \"the kind of\nwork the Alumni might undertake\". The\nsecond meeting of tfie executive heard that\nthere were 71 active members on the rolls.\nThe executive favored the idea of having\nan alumnus on Senate and decided to nominate one candidate to that body. This\nwas later raised to three and J. E. Mulhern,\nMiss Pim and Miss Clement were nominated. A campaign was conducted to ensure\ntheir election. Dances were held and the\nmoney raised given to the University Red\nCross fund. A committee was formed \"to\nsend parcels to the men overseas\". Tea\ndances were given for the graduating class.\nFinances were a problem then as now.\nMembership was also a cause of worry.\n\"Aims and objects\" were the subject of\nseveral discussions. Dramatic clubs and\n\"round table discussions\" were promoted.\nThe influenza epidemic receives due\nattention in the minute cancelling a \"war\ntime banquet\" at which the special guests\nwere to have been Dr. T. H. Boggs, Dr.\nAshton, Dr. Sedgwick and Professor\nRobertson. Likewise the decision to hold\na dance in February, 1919, is qualified as\nfollows: \"Owing to the ban on dancing\nthe G. W. V. A. Hall\". The campaign to\nmove to Point Grey is noted in the minute\n\"urging all Alumni to take petitions regarding the building of the University at Point\nGrey\".\nIn 1923, the Alumni went literary at a\ngeneral meeting, as evidenced by the\nminutes: \"As with 'Alice in Wonderland',\nthe meeting then decided that 'The time has\ncome, the Walrus said\n\"To speak of many things ...\"\nA pencilled notation in the margin reads\n\"Short witty speeches were delivered on the\nsubjects mentioned in the lines from 'Alice\nin Wonderland'.\" Lionel Stevenson was\ncommissioned to compose an Alumni song\nand in due course produced a very creditable effort to the tune of \"Riding Down to\nBangor\". The words, lost for some years,\nwere rediscovered recently.\nSpace does not permit more than mention of those who have held the Presidency\nduring the past 21 years:\n1917\u00E2\u0080\u0094J. E.

GRAHAM\n(GRADUATES will learn with re-\n^\"^ gret of the death on Christmas\nDay, after a brief illness, of Dr.\nWilliam Ernest Graham, in charge of\nthe Leather Research Laboratory of\nthe National Research Council, Ottawa. He leaves a wife, and two\ndaughters aged six and two years.\nDr. Graham was born in Napinka,\nManitoba, in 1899. In his first year as\nan. undergraduate he was awarded the\nproficiency scholarship and this was\nthe beginning of a brilliant University\nrecord. He graduated in 1923 with\nthe degree of B.Sc. in chemical engineering, then became instructor in the\nDepartment of Chemistry, receiving\nthe degree of M.A.Sc. in 1925, having\ncarried out a research on the catalytic\npreparation of ether from ethyl\nalcohol by means of aluminium oxide.\nHe then continued his post-graduate\nstudies at the University of Toronto,\nwhere for three years he was demonstrator in electro-chemistry in the\nDepartment of Chemistry, during\nwhich period he held a National Research Council Bursary. In 1928 he\nreceived the degree of Doctor of\nPhilosophy for his investigations on\nthe relations between current voltage\nand the length of carbon arcs. From\n1928 to 1930 he held a fellowship at\nthe Mellon Institute for Industrial\nResearch, Pittsburgh, Pa., where he\ncarried out investigations on the\nweighting of silk by means of metallic\nsalts.\nIn August, 1930, Dr. Graham was\nappointed to the staff of the Division\nof Chemistry of the National Research\nCouncil at Ottawa, and placed in\ncharge of the equipping of the newly\nformed Leather Research Laboratory\nof the Council and the supervision of\nits work.\nDuring the past seven years he carried out a large number of investigations in the field of the technology of\nleather and tanning, and was the\nauthor of numerous memoranda, bulletins, reviews and reports on such\nvaried subjects as quality standards\nfor leather goods, the economic possibilities of Canadian raw materials, the\nutilization of waste leather, chrome\nleather and scrap and hide fleshings,\ninstructions for small-scale tanning\nfor rural communities, as well as\nnumerous reports on market conditions in the leather trades. He was\nresponsible for equipping the Leather\nResearch Laboratory.\nIn spite of the large amount of\nconsulting work handled by Dr.\nGraham, he nevertheless found time\nto accomplish much valuable fundamental work on the chemistry of Canadian tanning materials, particularly\nspruce and hemlock bark and sumac\nleaves, as well as on the physical and\nchemical properties of leather, fat\nliquoring, bating, antiseptics and shoe\ncements.\nAt the time of his death the\nLeather Research Laboratory of the\nCouncil had demonstrated its usefulness to the Canadian trade and the\nimportance of its work was being\nactively realized.\nDuring college days \"Bill\" was\nactive in student affairs. He took a\nkeen interest in debates, was Vice-\nPresident of the Literary and Scientific Department, President of the\nChemical Society and President of his\nclass during his last year. At the time\nof his death he was Chairman of the\nUniversity of British Columbia\nAlumni Group in Ottawa.\n(29) u b c at oxford\nJAMES GIBSON\nTj* LECTION of David Carey as\nthirty-fifth Rhodes Scholar from\nBritish Columbia suggests a review of\nthe Colleges of Oxford to which his\npredecessors have gone. In section 28\nof his will, Cecil Rhodes expressed his\ndesire \"that the scholars holding the\nscholarships shall be distributed\namongst the Colleges of the University\nof Oxford and not resort in undue\nnumbers to one or more colleges only\".\nBritish Columbia's scholars in fact\nhave been spaced about among thirteen\nof the foundations. Seven have gone\nto St. John's, five to Queen's, and four\nto Brasenose. Two of the earliest\nscholars went to Exeter: Carey will\nmake a third, reviving this connection\nafter a space of 28 years. University\nand Trinity also have had three, and\nBalliol, Magdalen and Hertford two\neach. The remaining scholars have\ngone to New College, Lincoln, Corpus\nChristi, and Jesus.\nOf U. B. C. graduates at Oxford in\nthe last five years, other than Rhodes\nScholars, W. H. Q. Cameron was at\nUniversity, William Gibson at New\nCollege, Jack Ruttan at St. John's, and\nDon McTavish at Lincoln.\nOf present members of the faculty,\nnine have Oxford connections. Mr.\nAngus and Dr. Sage were at Balliol,\nMr. Cooke and Dr. Warren at\nQueen's, Mr. Soward and Mr. Gibson\nat New College, Mr. Larsen at Exeter,\nMr. Brand at Jesus, and Dr. Evans at\nJesus. Two former Rhodes Scholars\nfrom this province who are now members of the Board of Governors (Mr.\nJ. B. Clearihue, K.C, and Colonel\nSherwood Lett, M.C.) were at Jesus\nand Trinity, respectively. Oxonians\nare also represented on Senate, as\nMajor H. Cuthbert Holmes was at\nBalliol, and Colonel H. T. Logan\nbegan the \"tradition\" at St. John's\nwhich has been happily continued.\nAfter a year as junior research\nfellow in the Montreal Neurological\nInstitute, William Gibson '33, went to\nOxford as departmental demonstrator\nin histology. He was actually at work\nat Santander, Spain, when hostilities\n(30)\nbroke out in July, 1936, escaping\naboard the U.S.S. Oklahoma. After\na holiday in Canada, during which he\nreceived the degree of M.Sc. from\nMcGill, he returned to Oxford.

There are three of us here\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nJoan Dangelzer, Elizabeth Houston and I.\nJoan is staying at the Cite Universitaire in\nthe College Franco-Britannique, while\nElizabeth and I are living together in a\nFrench family. Our apartment house is\nbuilt on one of the hills in the south of\nParis, and from the windows of our rooms\nup on the top floor (we have an elevator\nto go up in but have to walk down the\nseven flights of stairs) we have a splendid\nview over the city. Paris lies at our feet,\nits streets humming with the continuous\npassing of heavy traffic, shrill with the\ncalls of children and the harsh cries of\nhawkers.\nThrough the middle of the Latin Quarter\npasses the \"Boul' Mich\", central thoroughfare of the students. Young people throng\nby, books in hand, hatless, happy, representing all the nations of the earth. At nearly\nevery corner are big cafes, usually filled to\ncapacity as the students munch \"croissants\",\ndrink coffee or beer, sip aperitifs, chat,\ndiscuss politics, write letters or glance\ncasually through their class notes.\nConcerts and theatres, lectures, art\ngalleries and museums are always ready to\nreceive us. The floodlighting at night of\nthe sculptures of the Louvre is absolutely\nunforgettable. Imagine the Winged Victory, placed on high at the top of an imposing flight of stairs, now standing out white,\nin sharp relief against the dark shadows of\nthe hall, now black, in delicate silhouette\nagainst the soft lighting of the stairway.\nThe theatres are invariably interesting.\nCharles Dullin, at the \"Atelier\", has just\nfinished playing, with great success, the\nFrench translation of Ben Jonson's Volpone.\nLouis Jouvet put on again recently at the\n\"Athenee\" his masterpiece, Knock\u00E2\u0080\u0094amusing, excellently acted, with the most intriguing of scenic effects. And Paul\nValery has been giving to packed audiences\na series of lectures on Poetry. It's curious\nto hear a living poet lecturing, as professor of the College de France, on the\nprinciples and theories of his art.\nOur latest excursion outside of Paris\nwas a short visit to Brittany. Since the\nMardi Gras gave us a long week-end, Elizabeth and I set out for St. Malo. We went\nostensibly to pay our respects to Jacques\nCartier, but in reality to be once more close\nto the sea and the rocks.\nYet, in the midst of our travels and our\namusements, we are not allowed to forget\nour work. Elizabeth goes faithfully each\nmorning to the Ecole de Preparation for\nlectures which start at 8:30. She has just\nfinished a course at the Institute de\nPhonetique, passing the examinations most\nsuccessfully. Joan and I still carry on with\nour theses. After days of research in the\nfar from inspiring atmosphere of the Paris\nlibraries, and hours of composing, we are\nnow looking forward to the somewhat\ndoubtful joys of proof-correcting and the\ndecided agony of the public defense of our\ntheses next June. DEBORAH AISH.\nPOWELL RIVER\nI am the paper mill. The paper mill is\nalmost everything. Powell River is noted\nfor its flowers, paper, and weather. With\na rainfall of only 35 inches per year, it is\nsomething like Victoria for sunshine.\nThe graduates are chiefly concentrated\ninto two callings\u00E2\u0080\u0094the mill technical staff\nand the teaching profession. The former\nheaded by H. Andrews (Sc. '22), includes\nseven graduates; the latter, principalled\nby J. Waugh (Arts '32), occupies ten\ngowns. This does not exhaust the ranks\nof the Alumni, for we find one lawyer,\none stenographer, and one mechanical\nengineer, as well as several wives still\nfaithful to Alma Mater.\nEven with all the twenty odd graduates\nit remains for Science '32, in the persons\nof Mr. and Mrs. D. H. LePage and Mr.\nand Mrs. Ross Black, to do something\nabout the future graduates.\n(46) FACULTY AND STAFF RESIGNATIONS AND APPOINTMENTS\nRESIGNATIONS:\nMr. Robert England, Director of University Extension.\nMr. E.
