Mac Kenzie urges the establishment of a "comprehensive national > scholarship program as imaginatively designed as was the Veterans' Educational Aid program" in his report for the 1953-54 academic year, v "To maintain the present rate of Canadian development," says the President, "Canadian Universities must meet the need for ^.the- vastly increased numbers of professionally trained and well- educated men and women that our complex society and complicated technology have made necessary. We must meet this need or slow down the rate of ..development." * - "We are not meeting the need «, now/' the President continues, ■'■ "an4 we are also not yet getting all those in the high schools who are' iwst equipped for higher education." The report indicates that 1600 ~\\' the University of British Distinguished Educators To Teach Summer Session Columbia's 5500 students in 1953-54 shared $450,000 in prizes, scholarships, bursaries and loans supplied by industry, commerce, voluntary associations, private individuals and government. Dr. MacKenzies emphasizes, however, that University of B.C. students are continuing the tradition of "working their way" through the University. Costs of their education plus the loss of four to six years of earning power makes the average student's total investment in education more than $10,000. Reporting on student housing, the President points out that about half of UBC's student body comes from outside Vancouver. Present housing accommodates about 1000 students from outside the city with Fort and Acadia Camps providing places for some 870 single men and women and suites for about 160 couples and families.

Patrick is visiting Bella-Bella, Alert Bay and Quathiaski Cove, returning to Vancouver at the end of the month.

Capt. Patrick's 'classes' in navigation are co-sponsored by the University Extension Department and B.C. Packers. He taught elementary navigation courses to fisheries' students at the annual Youth Training School held on campus from January to early March. APPRENTICED EARLY The veteran mariner began his sea career at 15, wfaen he was apprenticed for four years. He left the sea 48 years later as a master mariner who had commanded the plush Empress of Canada and the Empress of Russia.
