The Eskimo hunter had to devise a light, fast craft that would be tough and virtually unsinkable. Result.. . his sealskin kayak, one of man’s most remarkable answers to the challenge of his environment. P

Imagination plus ingenuity

were the twin keys to the Eskimo’s

problem. Here at the Royal Bank

we believe those same two qualities

to be important in the banking business :

imagination to plan for the future,

ingenuity to meet new conditions as

they arise. The result, a flexible

banking service, constantly expanded

and adjusted to meet the changing

needs of our customers.

EDITORIAL Once again history was made at U.B.C. wheq,

on November 19th. in Brock Hall, the members of Convocation and the Alumni Association members for the first time united on the occasion of their respective annual meetings. That the rather com- plicated Agenda \vas carried through so smoothly was due to the skilful, direction of the respective Chairmen. Chancellor Emeritus Hamber presided over Convocation xvith his usual adroitness and des- patch, and with welcome dashes of humour. Retiring President Douglas Mactlonald, and newly-elected President Dudley Darling, despite the distra.ctions of good food and good company, put through the ,L\Ium~li Association business with no evident sign o f hurry or confusion. A word of atlmiraticln and thanks is due to those responsible for arranging the \'cry successful dinner meeting, and especially to Dr. I\.. Cr. Black. hard-working committee chairman. and to b;xecutive-Director Frank Turner, for their ~)ainstaliing preparatory la1)ours.

So long as this spirit and objective in U11iversit~- sports is fostered and maintainec‘l most oi u s ~vould agree that athletic instruction ant1 com- petition have a \-alual)le place it1 the curriculum.

Ford Motor Company of Canada, deliver the U.B.C. Autumn Congregation address or who read his words i n the Press, could not fail to be deeply im- pressed by his keen analysis of the relations between the University and industry and his clearly ex- pressed views on the financial plight of Education i n Canada. His announcement of the tlventy-one scholarships to be given by his Company over the

’ next three years, together with a “direct grant of $500 annually to the institution chosen by the student” is certain to inspire other companies and individuals to give attention to the problems of higher education. To quote the words of Dr. Sale. “We must have among parents an arousetl con- sciousness of the glaring weakness of our educa- tional system, a consciousness that will reflect itself

in the strongest demand for more adequate remun- eration for the teaching profession, more induce- ments to young- people to become teachers, and better facilities for education. W e need a fresh look at the importance of education in the development of our national life.”

How many hearing i n the alien earth O r air this unambiguous music have said As I gratefully Here is a friend. and hearing Loved? And hearing knew their worth Altered for ever, as the dead Are changed hy easters of remembering. Oh but before you shyness runs in rout ; The insubstantial cries of wrong Are still, and the peoples reach out Their hands to touch the hem of your song. Like children whom the silences reprove; i\nd all our listening is love.

Orpheus again will weep Upon the mountain of his loneliness, And lost Lucretia dress Her woe in death to keep Her faith alive; and others will proclaim Christ on the winter air Our hope and harmony, and bear Gerontius home with all his heart aflame.

But it will I)e for us to remember How no one else can sing, who heard And know: for here, in the very chamber Of darkness, like a secret word,

And searched the place of tears Light flew in at our ears

With joy and clarified our years. And we shall remember

A terrible gladness fastened How here, while we listened,

The spirit once again became Our hearts on you, and how

Lovable and even the most outlaw Found in the alien air and earth a home.

U. B.C. SCHOOL OF COMMERCE By E. D. MacPhee

(Professor E. D. MacPhee, M.M., M.A., B.Ed., Edin- burgh, is Director of the School of Commerce, University of British Columbia. A graduate of Acadia University and Veteran of Wor ld War I, he did graduate work after the war at the University of Edinburgh. He taught Psychology at Acadia, Alberta, and Toronto Universities from 1920 to

Mills. F rom 1930 t o 1950 Professor MacPhee hecame in- 1929. In 1929 he became Comptroller of the York Knitting

volved in a variety of business and industrial activities in Canada and England. He became Chairman, President, or Managing Director of operating companies in textiles, leather goods, aircraft and chemicals. He helped to form and was Director of two firms of industrial consultants, J. D. Woods Company (now J. D. Woods and Gordon of Toronto) and Production Engineering of London, Eng- land. In 1950 he returned to CLnada to hecome Director of the School of Commerce and Honorary Bursar of the Uni- versity of British Columbia.-E'd.)

History The introduction of Commerce courses, as uni-

versity disciplines, has generally been initiated by Departments of Economics, and the University of British Columbia has followed this pattern. T h e calendar of that Department for the year 1930 listed for the first time courses described as Ac- countancy 1, Accountancy 2, Accountancy 3, Mar- keting 19 and Commercial Law l. T h e first gradu- ate with this degree was Mr. James W. Horne, B.A., in 1930, and i t was indicated that students who selected a particular grouping of undergraduate courses would proceed to the degree of B.Com. Graduates of the thirties will recall as Instructors, Prof. J. Friend Day, Prof. Currie, Mr. Frederick Field, Mr. "upper and others who helped to define a standard for these subject-matters equivalent to those of other university courses.

In 1939 Mr. Ellis H. Morrow became the first Head of a separate Department of Commerce. H e was forced, almost immediately, to condition his

' plans by the outbreak of World War I1 and by the departure of substantial numbers of young men to join the armed forces. Despite the limitations of staff, Professor Morrow set about developing a program of courses which would keep his Depart- ment in line with the most progressive undergradu- ate schools in Canada. Successive calendars show the addition of courses in foreign trade, production, advertising, market research, auditing, and admin- istrative practices. Special courses were provided i n drug-store marketing and management. Com- bined degrees or double-degrees, as they are called, were developed with Agriculture and Arts.

Then came the autumn of 1945 and the great flood of young men trying to fit themselves as quickly as possible for positions in civil life. Com- merce registrations jumped from 152 in 1944-45 to 796 i n 1947-48. Mr. I). K. Bell \vas tlra\vn from private business to become a professor. Messrs. J. E. Stark, C. N. Brennan and John Farris and others were recruited as part-time lecturers. As soon as graduates, who were prepared to teach, could complete their post-graduate work they were added to the faculty. Professors Wong, Gourlay and Van Hduten came to the staff in this manner. Professor Taylor came from Ontario ; Saskatchewan provided Professor Moynes ; Professor Mahoney came from Harvard; and, by one device or another,

, the classes were taught.

Page 8

E. D. MacPHEE, M.M., M.A., B.Ed.

In 1950 Professor Morrow retired, the Depart- ment was made a School, and Mr. E. D. MacPhee returned from business to teaching to become the Director. The course of instruction was again ex- tended and reorg-anizetl, first year Arts was made a prerequisite and provision was made for a Mast- er's degree. The faculty now consists of thirteen full-time and two part-time. instructors, plus ten honorary lecturers who give occasional classes. Population

The pattern of growth of the B.Com. since 1950 should be of interest to commerce graduates. The completion of their programs by veterans and the introduction of a five-year program combined to reduce the registration to 329 by 1950-51. This was 5 per cent of the total student body. It has in- creased steadily each year, and in the current ses- sion stands at 472, about 8.75 per cent of the total, and 11 per cent of the male student group. The number of women students continues to be small.

The rapidity of the rise i n the School population, as a percentage of university registration, together with the very substantial increase anticipated in overall attendance at the university in the near future raises important questions as to the staff and facilities needed by the School in the next decade. I n 1940 the registration in U.S.A. schools of busi- ness was, like ours at present, ahout 9 per cent. By 1950 it became over 15 per cent. W e do not expect any such startling increase, but there is no sign of the curve flattening out, and we are anticipating a very substantial addition to the student population in Commerce as the years go by. Philosophy

Schools of Commerce, like all other professional schools, are deeply divided on questions of goals, curricula and teaching methods. Most schools have undergraduate programs only ; some serve gradu- ates only; some, including this university, provide for both. In some the curriculum has changed little since 1930; in others a wide range of courses is

Page 9: How - University of British Columbia Library · 2013-07-30 · Frankly Speaking-Frank Turner 19 Dudley Darling New Alumni President-The editor^-^^--.---^^^ ..... 22 The Hon. Mrs

provided. Some prefer a general course with wide freedom of choice left to the individual student as to electives; others, including U.H.C., believe in a closer control of the student’s program.

In this University, the School o f Comlmerce is a professional faculty, engaged i n training men and women for a variety of professional and execu- tive careers. I t is our opinion that any professional man or executive should have such intellectual and cultural background as will enable him to deal con- structively with the social, political antl legal prob- lems of his times and his environment. The B.Com. program must, therefore, provide him with an op- portunity to become aware of the cultural, political geographic and economic factors which have created that environment. Courses in economics, geography, psychology, English, mathematics, are therefore obligatory. He may study a foreign langu- age for two or three years, or a science, but he must carry any subject matter for at least t\vo years.

B.Com. graduates are expected to have achieved competence or skill in the basic principles and prac- tices of modern business operations, and to have some experience in the solution (If business prob- lems. T o achieve this objective a core of required courses is prescribed for all: t\vo courses in ac- counting, and one in each of six other named suh- jects. The ‘core’ therefore comprises just over a third of the total program.

A third principle which operates in curricula organization and in the operation of the School is that students should be required to concentrate in one or other field of business during their two senior years. These ‘options’ as they are called correspond to majors in Arts, to Honours courses in .Agricul- ture and to professional courses i n Applied Science. The options are fifteen in number, e.g., Accounting, Marketing, Production, Finance, Teachin):, Hos- pital Administration, and so on. The intent is to allow the student to know well one field of Ixsiness or professional activity but the student is continu- ally reminded that his choice of an option is a choice of a training program, not a choice of a career. These specialized courses comprise about one-fourth of his four-year prog-ram.

It is the view of the School that its objective is not to train men in the techuiques of individual in- dustries or services, but to develop critical and analytic habits of thought antl to establish sound work habits. It is of primary importance that B.Com. graduates have the outlook and intellectual standards of college men, not the skills of a techni- cian. Hence the emphasis must be on general prin- ciples and procedures, and on competent application of these principles to varied business problems.

The responsibility of the School is not only in the intellectual field. Through an organized coun- selling service all Commerce men and women are required to maintain regular personal contact with one professor during their stay in the schoo.1. These obligatory interviews take place, but informal, friendly, confidential and sometimes emergent visits by students to their staff advisers are much more frequent and important.

T h e School accepts responsibility for “‘extend- ing” its program to the community. Business and professional organizations have co-operated with the School in organizing certificate and diploma courses in accounting, marketing, advertising, sales

management, finance, banking, industrial organiza- t i o n , antI i n ntlministrative practices. This yrar over 800 men and lvomen are registered in lecture and correspondence courses. These are not ‘popular’ courses; texts are prescribed; homework, of 10 to 15 hours weekly. is assigned; examinations are given and marked. The fact that the School has many more demands than it can meet from pro- fessional and executive groups all over the province indicates the extent of community demand and need. A large unofficial new-graduate group of ‘alumni’ is developing and it is a stimulating and \velcome addition to our ranks.

These men, as well as the B.Com. group, support the School in every manner suggested to them. As guest lecturers in their own special fields, as employers, as contributors of bursaries and scholar- ships, as supporters of our annual banquet, as facul- ty sponsors i n their associations and councils antl boards, and as persons who know from personal ex- perience what the School of Commerce is teaching its young people. the School is lvell repaid for its assumption oi this extra load.

The School is still housed in huts, but the ac- commodation has been substantially improved with- ing the last two years. Graduating classes in 1952 and 1953 donated furniture for a lounge. 1,abora- tories are being equipped in marketing, advertising, production, finance and accounting. Alumni

Fro msmall beginnings at the dawn of the present electrical age, the Institute has developed into one of the major engineering organizations on the North American Continent with a membership of 42,000. In order to con- duct the affairs of the Institute effectively, the continent has been divided into ten geographical districts, each under a Vice-president. District 9 includes the Province of Brit- ish Columia, Alaska, the States of Washington, Idaho, Montana and Utah. The Vice-president of this District is Mr. T. I. Ingledow, Vice-president and Chief Engineer of the B.C. Electric.

District meetings are held once a year. Last September 1-4 the Vancouver Section members, numbering about 300, sponsored the Pacific General Meeting. The Institute's Board of Directors were also present and held a meeting during the Conference. In the total registration of 783 there were representatives from all quarters of the United States and from Eastern Canada.

THE PRESIDENT REPORTS-. Because of the continuing debate about educa-

tion and about the function of the University and of higher education, I thought i t might be interest- ing and useful to repeat here what I said over the air a few weeks ago.

“The University, as I understand it, exists to serve the community in which we live--British Columbia and Canada. I t does this by educating the young people who enrol, and by training them for the professions in which they will later serve the community. It also contributes to our welfare through a great variety of direct community ser- vices of an interesting and important kind.

By “educating” our young people, I mean pro- viding then: with the opportunity to develop phy- sically, mentally, morally and aesthetically- to the maximum of their capacities. I mean, too, the stimulation of their interests, the arousing of their curiosity, the training of their minds, enabling them to think for themselves, to make choices between the good and the less good, and to discriminate in the midst of an increasingly difficult and compli- cated environment and world. We t ry to make available to them the accumulated wisdom, know- ledge, experience and history of the human race, through the libraries that we acquire and through the learning of the teaching staff; we try to encour- age and assist them to explore the unknown and to push back the frontiers of knowledge. ’Chis we do in the expensive and complicated laboratories which we possess and through the stimulation of working with distinguished scholars of mature years who are members of our staff. W e introduce them to the best in art , i n literature, in music, in architecture, in drama, in sculpture. We a t tempt to provide them with standards of value 0.11 moral issues, in their own lives, and in their relations with other human beings. We hope that here at the University they will come to understand themselves and to understand the nature of the world and the

L. B. STACEY, (B.A. ‘24), Vice-chairman, Pacific General Meeting.

universe in which they live. We t ry to impress upon them the importance of their relationships with others, and of so organizing themselves in their communities and nation and in the world of nations, that they may be able to live in this world and in this nation with all sorts and kinds of people of varying races, classes and creeds, without resort- ing to violent and destructive measures, such as war and revolution, for achieving the ends that they seek or for the satisfying of the desires which they possess. In a word, we hope that when they leave us, they will understand what i t means to be edu- cated men and women, and will continue to strive to become and remain educated.

Training for the professions - Law, Medicine, Engineering, the Church. Education. and all the others-is a fairly straightforward business and one that most of you understand and accept. The members of these professions provide you with most of the services upon which you depend for the orderly and efficient living of your lives and the conduct of your affairs. The engineers build the roads and the bridges, the trains, the motorcars, the aeroplanes, and the steamships upon which you travel; the doctors look after your health and wel- fare; the scientists enable you to exploit our natural resources and use these for your own maintenance, comfort and well-being; the lawyers help to keep you out of trouble and to organize your govern- mental and business affairs; the clergy attend to your religious and moral needs, and help to provide the standards and the disciplines so necesFarry if a society is to operate and human beings live to- gether in peace and harmony.

A special word is needed about physical educa- tion, recreation and athletics. In this area our con- cern is for the physical and mental Lvell-being of every one of the students who come to us. Our Department of Physical Education is concerned with improving and maintaining the physical fit- ness of all students on the compus. We t ry to en- sure that all students, when they graduate, \vi11 be better able to remain fit and well than they other- wise would. We a re also concerned with training teachers of physical education. recreation, and ath- letics, so that they in turn may go out and contri- bute to the physical welfare of others throughout the Province--and more particularly, the boys and girls in the schools. W e believe in the value and the importance of pleasant and health-giving; recre- ation and of the wise and satisfying use o f such leisure time as may be available to us. \Ve are interested in competitive athletics because of the opportunities it provides for those who participate and because of the thrill and satisfaction which the rest of us, as spectators, gain from it. Our only concern here is lest we lose our sense of proportion about such matters and about the relative values of competitive athletics. As in most other fields of human activity, a great deal of harm can be done by intemperance and over-emphasis in this.”

Related to our athletic and physical education programme is the construction of the Swimming Pool which is being built on the campus for the purpose of the 13ritish Empire Games to be held in Vancouver next summer. This pool has been the occasion for a great deal of unfortunate controversy and publicity, for which we at the University had no responsibility. More than a year and a half ago

we were approached by interested citizens and civic officials to lend our support to the request that the Games should be held in Vancouver in 1954. After this decision had been made, we were asked to make our facilities available to the Committee in charge of the Games for the use of the visiting athletes and for the staging of any events which it might be desirable to arrange at University.

In reply to this request we stated that we would do everything within our power, subject to the prior claims of the University itself, to make all of our facilities available at cost. These include our resi- dences which can take care of between 800 and loo0 individuals, our dining, rooms and food services, our two gymnasiums, our track and playing fields, our University health services, and a variety of other facilities.

W e were also asked to co-operate with the Games Committee in the building, on the campus, of a stadium to seat some 35,000 spectators, and a very large swimming pool (165 by 50 feet, with a depth suggested at that time of 21 feet). To both of these requests we replied that, subject to certain conditions made necessary in the long-term inter- ests of the university, we would be glad to co-oper- ate and to assist the Committee. Our architects then proceeded to prepare preliminary plams for both of these projects. However, due to the activity of certain groups in the city, the City Council and the B.E.G. Committee decided to construct the stadium on the Exhibition Grounds and the swim- ming pool at Riley Park. Because of the difficulties encountered in respect of Riley Park and the cost of placing the swimming pool there the B.E.G. Committee, with the approval of the City Council, again approached us and asked, a second time, for our help in building the pool on the University campus. Again we assured them that we were only interested in doing what was best for all concerned and that if they felt i t would help them to build the pool at the University we would be glad to agree to that proposal. Construction has already begun and we expect that the pool will be completed by the end of June, 1954.

After the Games have been concluded the Uni- versity will take over the pool and it will become University property and a University responsibility. W e hope we will be able to find the money to roof it and to operate it. If we do, our policy in respect of the pool will be in line with our policy with other University facilities: that is, we will be glad to allow proper individuals and groups under reason- able safeguards and at no cost to the University or its students, to use our swimming facilities when- ever this can be conveniently clone.

It should be remembered that the University is and always has been of very great service to the citizens of Vancouver in many ways, and that our facilities are constantly being used by a great vari- ety of individuals and organizations in Vancouver. It also overlooks the fact that much of the money, if not all of it, which will go into the construction of the pool, has been provided by the Federal and Provincial governments, by certain British Colum- bia municipalities and by private citizens and cor- porations. The city itself has contributed gener- ously to the cost of staging the Games, but most if not all of the money that they are making available

Page 12

will be needed for the stadium, which is built within the city.

The pool when completed will be one of the largest (if not the largest) in Canada. It is much larger than we would have built for University pur- poses and the costs of operating it are likely to be correspondingly heavy. But because it is being built on the campus, the students and others associ- ated with the University will have a swimming pool much sooner than would otherwise have been possible. This fact, plus the desire to help the Games Committee and the city of Vancouver in staging the Games, were the principal reasons why the Board agreed to assume the very considerable responsibilities connected with the building and the operating of the pool.

HONORARY DEGREES AWARDED

AT AUTUMN CONGREGATION

Address given by Rhys M. Sale

The Twenty-seventh Autumn Congregation, held in the old gymnasium on the evening of Friday, October 30th. was a colourful ceremony of unusual interest. More than 250 students received degrees and were capped by Chancel- lor Sherwood Lett. Among the recipients were nine stu- dents presented for the degree of Pl1.D.

Doctor of Science. The citations for the degrees were read Dean of British Columbia cattlemen, received the degree of

by President MacKenzie. The distinguished guests of the University included the Honourable Robert Bonner, Attor- ney-General and Minister of Education and Mr. Harold Campbell, Deputy Minister of Education.

Dr. Rhys Sale was Congregation speaker, and addressed his remarks primarily to the members of the gr.aduating class, for whom he prophesied a bright future in Canada. The following paragraphs represent the highlights of this speech.

Canada’s Wealth

true dimensions of the strides that have heen made in the “Only those very close to the picture can grasp the

past quarter-century, but even so the development of our country has just begun. Within the next 25 years, we will take more ore from our rock, more oil from our wells, more food from our fields, and more timber and pulp from our forests, than we have in the past century. Moreover. more goods will flow from Canadian factories than we have produced in all the time since the first white man set foot in our country.”

Economic Plight of Education “Canadians spend less on education than they do on

tobacco and candy. They spend a great deal less on edu-

cstion thau they do on motor cars. They spend well over twice as much on movie tickets than on universities.”

“ W e look upon teaching as a noble and vital profession.

and women who devote themselves unselfishly to the task We entrust our children’s educatiou to high-minded men

of preparing our young people for useful, successful lives. We expect these teachers not only to impart knowledge, but to build character.

“Yet we hegrudge many of these highI~-traiued. high- minded teachers a wage we would pay cheerfully to the most menial worker. I t is to the everlasting credit of teachers everywhere that they perform their duties so well, and keep their personal frustrations from tinging the lives and minds of tlle young people they teach.

“We despcrately need a new approach to education in this country. M‘e need more understanding of the prob- lems and the requirements, not only by governments, hut among businessmen, thought-leaders, and all the people of this country.’*

New Ford Scholarships After announcing that his company would grant 21

scholarships over the next three years to sons and daughters o f Ford of Canada employees, providing tuition and aca- demic fees, a substantial part of the student’s living costs, and direct grants to universities, for a four-year course. Dr. Sale said:

“The intent of the program is to open the way to higher education for at least a few promising young Cana- dians who might have no other means to go to university. It is our desire to contribute to the pool of better educated people in Canada.”

Meaning of Graduation “The hard fact is that the proud moment when a gradu-

ate receives his degree does not mark the end of his educa- tion, but perhaps only the beginning. His degree, instead of being the extension ladder to the top of the tree, is no more than a short step-ladder to help him get started o n the long climb.” Danger of Over-Specialization

“For some .years past there has been an increasing

overdoing it. emphasis upon specialization. I see a danger that we are

The result of over-emphasis on specialization is the growing and truly serious lack of well-rounded, broadly- trained and thoroughly alert men and women who can be promoted into the highest echelons of management.”

British Columbia women - and many of them are Univer- sity of British Col- umbia graduates - can claim a number of “firsts”. One of the recent and most commendable is the appointment of Mrs. N a n c y H o d g e s , LL.D., as B.C.’s first woman Senator.

Mrs. Hodges has b e e n admired for many years by all who know of her, not only for her bril- liant political career, but as an individual and a homemaker. As Speaker of the House she claimed

another “first” being the only woman in Canada to be given such an honour. The University shines by reflected glory in the fact that the new Senator is an Honorary graduate.

PLANS FOR HOME MANAGEMENT FUND By Aileen Mann, B.A. ’37

The Home Management Fund -4lumnae Com- mittee met on Friday, November 13th, in the Home Economics Building, with Peter Sharp and Frank Turner, representatives of the Alumni Development Fund. Committee members present were : Jean Gilley, Chairman; Mary Holder, Mary Reeves, Doreen Coursier, Evelyn Cruise, Emily Mayhew, Audrey Dunlop, Freda Paling, Aileen Mann and Mrs. H. A. Hope.

The reconditioned army hut now in temporary use for home-making instruction at the University is a makeshift arrangement and is not economical or practical to operate. The objective for 1954 is to raise the $13,000 required to complete the Fund to build a new house.

Several projects have been planned. The Prov- incial Executives of the Parent Teacher Federation and the Women’s Institutes have been approached and are enlisting support of their individual branches. W e would ask Alumni to speak for this project whenever it comes to their attention in their own community. Although some groups may not be able to make a large donation, small gifts in large numbers will help us reach our objective.

-4 special committee of experts is working on a booklet of homemakinz ideas and housekeeping short-cuts. It is hoped to include a section on bachelor cookery. You will hear more about this handbook later.

Undergraduates in the Home Economics De- partment and members of the Committee sold ice cream bars at the Blue and Gold Revue on Nov- ember 5 , 6 and 7, and thus added to the Fund.

Mrs. H. A. Hope was convener of another effort i n November to raise the total-an evening of films. Miss Charlotte Black showed her 1953 pic- tures of England and Europe and Miss Mary Fallis showed hers of Hiking in the Canadian Rockies.

FALL PLAYS By Peter L. Smith, B.A. ’53 IT’S F R O M B I T K S

(Peter Smith won the Governor-General’s Gold Medal on graduation and is this year reading for the M.A. degree. He played the part of Apollo in “A Masque of Aesop.” . El43 -Ed.)

On November 12th, 13th and 14th, the .Univer- sity Players’ Club presented an entertaining and varied program, an abridged version of “Romeo and Juliet” and the western premiere of “A Ma:que of Aesop,” by the Canadian playwright Robertson Davies. The choice of plays was justified : although some criticism had been heard, and many felt that more concession should be made to popular taste, it turned out to be one of the rare occasions in the long history of the club on which the Fall plays have shown a financial profit.

The opening play, “A Masque of Aesop,” was a triumph for the director, Sydney Risk. Working al- most exclusively with inexperienced actors, Mr. Risk drew sincere performances from his large cast. The play, an adaptation of the Elizabethan masque to the modern stage, is a witty satire on human foibles in general, with many sly remarks on mod- ern institutions aud outlooks. Brought before Apollo by irate citizens of Delphi, Aesop defends himself against charges of blasphemy by presenting in evidence three of his fables. Delightful in their staging and most enjoyable visually, the fables were at times somewhat inaudible, on account of the cumbersome masks worn by the actors. The pace, however, was always brisk, the stage action swift and urgent.

Although it is difficult to single out perform- ances, i t may be said that the work of the three Fates was especially effective, as was the intensity and coordination of the mob of citizens. Special

is dated at Athens, September 12, 1953.-Ed.) Athens, having joined the excavation staff in 1931. His letter

“As to current activities in the Agora. perhaps I could outline them here. In the course of the past spring and summer we carried out our 18th season of excavation on this site, thereby complet- ing the exploration of the principal area, i.e., the ancient market square proper. We were especially pleased by developments along the south side of the square where two large public buildings have come to light. One of them, dating from the second half of the 6th century B.C., has good claim to be recog- nized as the Heliaia, the largest and most famous of the several lawcourts of the ancient city. The second building is of the late 5th century B.C. and appears to be the Thesmotheteion, which contained the offices and dining rooms of the Thesmothetai or board of six magistrates who were responsible for the proper functioning of the lawcourts.

“Although the actual work of excavating is drawing to a close, we have other heavy commit- ments. One is the landscaping of the excavated area which measures some 25 acres in the heart of the modern city. This is a challenging task, for the planting must elucidate rather than obscure the ancient design of the square and i t must also be suitably related to the rather varied environs, which comprise the Acropolis, Mars Hill, the “Theseum” (the best preserved of ancient Greek temples) and a dingy district of modern Athens. Through. the month of August we had with us an outstanding American landscape architect who has prepared a comprehensive design for the treatment of the area. Next week we are expecting the King and Queen of Greece to plant the first trees: an oak for Zeus and an olive for Athena.

Page 16

“ W e have also made progress this summer in the matter of providing a museum to house the finds from the excavation. W e have decided that the museum should take the form of a reconstruc- tion of the stoa or colonnade built about 150 B.C. along the east side of the square by Attalos 11, King of Pergamon, a distinguished alumnus of the Athen- ian schools of philosophy. The work of rebuilding is now actually under way and from my window I can hear the agreeable tinkle of many stone cutters’ chisels. The reconstruction will cost upwards of one million dollars and will require four or five years.”

Fall Plays Continued from Page 15

mention must be given to club president and pro- duction manager Tom Shorthouse, who wrote the original music for this production.

As the other half of the program, “Romeo and Juliet” supplied an effective contrast. Under the patient direction of Dorothy Davies, a remarkably mature interpretation was given to the Shakespear- ian classic. Though abridged for this performance, the play remained smooth and the resultant loss in some of the poetry and subtlety of character devel- opment was compensated by a swiftly moving and easily followed plot.

Miss Davies won high praise from the audiences for her pacing of the play; scarcely seconds elapsed between one scene and the next, as ingenious stag- ing overcame the necessity of complex scene shift- ing. The actors themselves, though young, gave earnest portrayals. All the principal parts were well interpreted, with Bob. Woodward and Eve Newitt both convincing in the title roles. Especially appealing as supporting characters were Louise De Vick as the nurse and Bill Gordon as Friar Laurence.

Sets for the two plays were designed by Gordon Shrum and Derek Mann respectively. Attractive i n their simplicity, they were greatly enhanced hy imaginative and often striking lighting.

Judging from enthusiastic audience response, the ambitious program was thoroughly successful. From both the artistic and the financial point of view, it was one of the most rewarding of all Fall ventures of the Players’ Club.

GREAT TREKKER A W A R D TO DEAN GAGE

By W. Robbins and R. D. James

(Dr. R. D. James is Professor and Head of the Depart- ment of Mathematics at U.B.C. He received the degrees of B.A. (1928) and M.A. (1930) at the University of British Columbia and later went on for graduate study to Chicago University, where he was awarded a Pl1.D. H e is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. Dr. Robbins is also a graduate of U.B.C. (B.A. 1930, h1.,4. 1934) and holds the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, conferred by the Univer- sity of Toronto. Formerly a member of the Victoria College Staff, under the late Principal Elliott. he is now Professor i n the Department of English at U.R.C.-Ed.)

On the first day of lectures i n September, 1927, students at Victoria College were startled by the roars of laughter punctuating the long intervals of furiously cerebral silence i n the Rlathematics lec- ture-room, where a vigorous voice was expcluntling the picturesque analogy. At the end of the hour starry-eyed freshmen burst out of the room saying “Who is he? What’s happened? Mathematics was never like this !” The answer was simple. A human dynamo named Walter Gage had come to the College.

For six years, under the benign and gratified eye of Principal Percy Elliott, Walter was the main- spring of life at Victoria College. Advising students, organizing timetables as Registrar, directing plays, guiding student activities in ways that encouraged energy wthout violence and exuberance Ivithout folly-all this in addition to inspired teaching and frequent scholarly publication. In 1933 he returned to UBC where he had taught for a year before go- i n g to Victoria, and from the day of his return to the present has devoted that same energy and ability and versatility to the service of the Uni- versity of British Columbia.

“Devoted” is not too strong a word. Walter has worked in and for the university with a zeal and efficiency that have identified him with its slxcess- ful operation, and with a vision a n t l wisdom that have always pointed the way in which a university, if it is to be worthy of the name, should develop. Recognition of his work and abilities came in his appointment to the newly-created office of Dean of Administrative and Inter-Faculty Affairs, an office which in fact merely gave official status to the varied and important contribution he was al- ready making to the life of the university.

After graduating in 1925, and taking his M.A. in 1926, Walter spent the summers of 1927, 1928, and 1930 in graduate work at the University of Chicago, for part of the time under the noted mathe- matician E. T. Bell. In 1939-40 he held a teiaching fellowship at the California Institute of Technology, where he again worked with Bell, whose high opin- ion of Walter’s capacity for mathematical research is well known to his colleagues at UI3C. He has been active in the Royal Astronomical Society, serving as President of the Vancouver branch in 1935, and was for four years Vice-president of the Canadian Mathematical Congress. He has been an executive member of the B.C. Academy of Sciences since 1938, a member of the American Mathemati- cal Society, the Mathematical Association of Am- erica, and the Calcutta Mathematical SocietIy. H e has served as Director of the Summer Session, as

assistant to the late Dean Buchanan, and during the war years as Co-director of the Canadian Army Course No. 2 and as instructional officer to men i n training for the :lir Force.

Over all these years of teaching and adnlinistra- tion, M‘alter‘s main interest has consistently been the welfare of the students. His years as Honorary President of Iwth the Players’ Club and the Musical Society bring- t o mind a vivid picture of a wildly geticulating figure I m A of the curtain on opening night guit l iq ;L grateful chorus through “Kohin Hood” or “ T h y Gondoliers“. But his interest has not heen confined to group activities. Rather one thinks of the tl~ousantls of students ~ v h o have re- ceived indi\-idual help i n selecting courses a n t l careers, and \vho have benefited from every kind of aid and from generous hours of consultation i n all sorts of ~)roblems-acatlemic, financial, and tlomes- tic. This individual consultation goes on all through the year, though, of course. it is most ohvious at registration time : how obvious is shown i n a story told by 1Canton McIntosh, Director of the School of Education. Returning through Montana on the Grc-at Northern RaiILvay i n September, Dr. hIcIn- tosh was startled to hear this radio announcement: “The University of British Columbia expects a registration o f 55,000 (sic) students, over h.alf of xvhom w i l l bt: personally interviewed by Dean Gage.”

A great den1 of committee work has inevitahly come his wayj and in this regard his two major jobs in recent years have been the annual protluc- tion. single-handed, of the University calendar, and the chairmanship of the Committee on Scholarships, Prizes, antl Bursaries. This last is undoubtedly, of all his administrative duties the one nearest the centre of Walter’s interests, and it would be diffi- cult to express the appreciation due him for the amount of money that his efforts have obtained for student assistance, and for the judicious care that has gone to its fair distribution.

Enough to exhaust any three able-bodied men? Yet that is not all. He still carries a full load of teaching in large classes in Mathematics, and his scholarly capacity is shown in the dozen mathe- matical papers published in leading journals since 1927, and in the text-book on “Elementary Analytic Geometry” prepared in collaboration with the late Professor Richardson in 1936 for use in university an t l Senior Matriculation. His colleagues know that the shift to an administrative emphasis reflects an urge to see that the work is done efficiently rather than a preference for administrative duties as such. For Walter is still the teacher and scholar who places teaching and scholarship first, and his fertile mind goes on meditating mathematical problems even when time does not permit their being worked out for publication.

In Vancouver and in the province at large, the name of Dean Walter Gage is identified with the growth and future of this university. And the Great Trek award, made in recognition of an outstanding contribution to the university, could have had no more fitting recipient than one who. himself a mem- ber of that trek, has since done so much towards the fulfilment of the hopes it symbolised.

FALL SPORTS By Bus Phillips

Football AS the 1953 football

season draws to a close, the record book shows two wins, six losses, and one game remain- ing to be played. The scoreboard is not as bleak as it first appears since this is the “Birds” most successful season. They outclassed the op- position in total pas- sing and rushing yard- age in five games and Eastern outgained them only eight yards. Our hard-fighting team has averaged 3 1 2 yards rushing and passing in R. J. (BUS) PHILLIPS

its six-AmerLcan gimes. Against College of Puget Sound and Eastern Washington College of Edu- cation, Flemons and Stewart threw passes for 265 and 275 yards. It is believed that both of these games set a new Evergreen Conference record for yards gained from passing. U.B.C. was not a push- over for any team and the American Colleges now do us the honour of scouting us.

The season opener was played under Canadian rules in Montreal against the McGill Redmen. The Thunderbirds were leading 4-3 a t half time, but two fumbles and a bad pass from center near their own goal line in the second half, turned the tide and gave the fine McGill team a victory. U.B.C. earned 11 first downs to McGill’s 9 and completed 9 of 16 passes. The Redmen connected with only 1 of 8 passes for no gain.

The high point of the season was the win over the Vancouver Cubs. Although U.B.C. was the thirty-point underdog and was outweighed from 20- 40 pounds per man in the line, the college team out- scrapped the seniors 11-1. This victory opened the eyes of many townspeople and showed them that U.B.C. plays good football. Barring unforeseen dif- ficulties, the prospects for a winning team next year are bright. The squad loses only John Hudson, Bill Stuart, Ralph Martinson and Bill Boulding through graduation.

Rugby Albert Laithwaite’s Thunderbirds have found

the going tough against First Division Miller Cup teams, and at this writing have yet to win a game this season. With the graduation of George Puil, Frank Gower, Gerry Main, and the ineligibility of several others, Albert is faced with the task of re-

building, but he expects to be ready for the MC- Kechnie Cup and World Cup Competition. High- light of the Rugby season, of course, will be the visit of the New Zealand All-Blacks, who are pres- ently touring in England and will play the Birds on March 11th. The Braves are leading the second division, without a loss so far this season.

Basketball While the Evergreen Conference does not start

until after Christmas, Head Coach, Jack Pomfret has lined up an impressive series of Pre-Conference Games which should round the 13irds into top form. The Big problem at the moment is not bench strength, for most of the regulars are still with us, but how to get all the boys out together for prac- tices in the face of laboratory periods which con- flict. However, a big season is in the offing and the boys will be i n there trying every minute.

Dick Penn’s Chiefs are a hustling band of youngsters just knocking on the Thunderbird door, and we’ll be hearing plenty from them before the season is over.

Soccer The lengthy Pacific Coast League “A” Divi-

sion schedule makes it impossible for our Varsity Soccer team to play first division, as do our other Varsity sports. Nevertheless the team has proved on more than one occasion that they are first class and we would like to see this sport given more at- tention on the campus. With two games scheduled for the Stadium this fall, soccer has an opportunity to prove it is an excellent spectator sport.

Rowing Frank Reed has continually produced U.B.C.

crews who more than held their own with the States’ best, losing only to California in the New- port Regatta last spring by three seconds. The boys have been in strict training for the past six weeks, and travel once more to Corvallis where they will defend the Egg Cup, against Oregon State.

Fencing In Charles and John Loe\ven. U.B.C. has two

of the finest swordsmen in Canada at the present time. After successfully disposing of all available local competition, Charles went on to win the Pa- cific Northwest Championship in the Open Foil and the Open Epee. W e have every hope that both of these boys will make the British Empire Games Team next year.

Cross Country Peter Harris and Doug Kyle have shared win-

ning honours in all cross-country meets held so far this year, and the U.B.C. team lost only one race, when Doug Kyle’s infected foot prevented him from entering the B.C. Cross-country Champion- ship a week ago.

The University and Peter Harris were honoured recently, when the A.A.U. of C., at its Annual Meeting in Montreal awarded the Fred Tees Mem- orial Trophy, as the most outstanding Canadian track and field athlete enrolled with a Canadian University during the year.

A 3rd year Forestry student, Peter Harris set a B.C. record in winning the Cross-Country Champ- ionship. He was Evergreen Conference Mile Champion last year.

Methinks that GIVING gives Christmas real meaning and life lasting value.

Why then, do we tend to ignore, forget or resent oft-repeated appeals-when we know that most are entirely worthy and are directed at both heart and mind. And why do we try to get a mythical “them” off our collective necks by making either a strictly token contribution or the one donation to last forever.

Certainly no one would inhale one big breath, exhale, inhale no more and still expect to live. Yet, strange as it may seem, many of us act as if that one big give-be it moral or financial-should be enough to satisfy any need for all time.

W e continue breathing because we want to live, and I suggest that each wants to live because life has some fundamental purpose.

If that purpose is to live merely for the s,ake of living, then life has no timeless significance. If the purpose is good-and includes things other than

DUDLEY DARLING NEW ALUMNI PRESIDENT The Honourable R. W. Bonner Addresses Combined

Convocation-Alumni Annual Meeting

For the first time in the history of the University the annual meetings of Convocation and of the U.B.C. Alumni Association were combined and the business of both or- ganizations was carried out at a dinner function in Brock Hall on the evening of November 19th. The attendance was

members of Convocation. President Emeritus and Mrs. large-upwards of 250 in all-including many foundation

L. S. Klinck were among the Head Table guests. A special feature of the occasion was the attendance and presentation to the gathering of the dozen or more winners of Alumni Association scholarships-an impressive object lesson in the practical value of Alumni giving.

In the absence of Chancellor Sherwood Lett, the chair was taken by Chancellor-Emeritus The Hon. Eric Hamber, who conducted the meeting of Convocation. Mr. Hamber spoke of the unique nature of the meeting and, in comment- ing on the unusually large number present, he urged all the Alumni to united action in serving the interests of the University. The Treasurer, Dudley Darling, showed in his report a bank balance of $177.82. Mrs. Sherwood Lett, wife of the Chancellor, herself the first Secretary of the Alma Mater Society, made a presentation to Theo Berry, who was retiring after 23' years service in the honorary office of Convocation Auditor. The firm of Meredith, Bruce, Bladwin and Kitto were duly elected auditors for the ensu- ing year. The report of Jordan Guy, Chairman of the nom- inating committee, was accepted and the new Executive

tary, Frank Turner; Members, Elmore Meredith, Q.C., Council elected as follows: Treasurer, Peter Sharp; Secre-

Dr. Anson C. Frost, J. Alex. Walker, W. H. MacInnes and Harry T. Logan.

The meeting of Convocation was then adjourned, on the conclusion of its business, and President Douglas Mac- donald proceeded with the Alumni Association meeting. A number of vocal selections were pleasingly rendered by Ronald Hancock, B.A. '53, accompanied at the piano by Miss Jean Telfer, B.A. '24. After the minutes of the previ- ous meeting were approved, the amendments to the Consti- tution and By-laws of the Association, as previously circu-

The topic of the Minister’s speech was “British Colum- bia 1954”, and he proceeded to deal at some length with the factors of production and development, viz., Land, Population and Capital. H e called attention to the vast area of the Province, 366,000 square miles, greater l.han the combined areas of California, Oregon, Washington and New York.

ALUMNI ASSOCIATION PRES1 DENT’S ANNUAL REPORT (P-ted at the Convocation-Alumni annual dinner mee4ing in Brock

Hall, November 19, 1 9 5 3 . 4 d . )

This report will only undertake to summarize the policies we have followed during the past year. A more detailed account of our activities is con- tained in reports from the Treasurer and Executive Director.

The Board of Management - The constitu- tional changes made two years ago providing for representation of graduates by Faculties on our Board of Management has proven to be a wise one. A further change in this direction is now desirable.

Graduate groups or societies have now been formed in the Faculties or Schools of Pharmacy, Social Work, Physical Education, Commerce and Forestry. Agriculture is in process of formation. The intent is to embrace these societies within the framework of the Alumni Association and give them representation on the Board of Management. In respect to the aim, iommon to all, of promoting the best interests of the University, the groups will then be in a position to integrate their activities rather than disperse them over a broad field.

The Alumni office is the logical source of ad- dress, mailing and other facilities for the graduate groups who have a desire to promote the best inter- ests of our University.

Branches - Through a good turn of fortune involving our Executive Director, our contacts with the branch groups in B.C. and Canada have been more personal this year than for some time. Organ- ization of branches in Regina and Montreal is now under way. Our Executive Director is gifted in this field of activity and i t is to be hoped we will be able to give him greater support in the future.

Public Relations - Our policy of assisting the University, by means of direct contact with the public, particularly with parents of high school students, was followed again by holding a two-day series of meetings and talks at Kelowna. The un- dertaking was a stimulating example of co-opera- tion between graduate groups in the Okanagan Valley, the Extension Department, the Faculty and our Alumni Office. Much good would come from the expansion of this type of public relations.

A.A.C.-In the past we have received much bene- fit from membership in the American Alumni Coun- cil. This year we were host to the convention of this group’s North-Western District, and gained the impression that our Association, while not as pretentious as some of those present, at least was doing a good job by relative standards and was developing rapidly in the fulfilment of our longer range plans.

“Chronicle” - After many years of outstand- ing service as Editor of the “Chronicle”, Mr. Or- monde Hall found it necessary to resign his position which also includes membership on the Executive Committee. From all points of view publication of the ‘(Chronicle” is a cardinal factor in our activities. W e made a thorough examination of the editorial and business phases of the publication in order to determine the qualifications of a new Editor. It

Page 24

was an immense satisfaction to all concerned when Col. Harry Logan consented to take over the duties of Editor. An Editorial Committee was created to act as liaison between the Editor and the Associ- ation.

Athletic - The Association for some time has required a policy for its guidance on the subject of Athletics at the University. A Special Committee with a most representative membership, under the chairmanship of Dr. William C. Gibson, investigat- ed the whole subject and submitted a report to the Board of Management which, following a special meeting, adopted the report. Three of the seventeen recommendations clarify our approach to this subject:

“No. 1. That the physical education and recre- ation of all students must be considered to be part of a general University Education,” and

“NO. 4. That students shall not be paid or given special considerations in return for participation in athletics,” and

“No. 5. That no participation in athletics should be permitted to compromise the main educational purposes of his attendance at University.”

Financial - This year we operated lvithin the same budget appropriation as last year. We were well aware our facilities in the Alumni Office were in sore need of expansion and that our Director and staff were badly handicapped in carrying on their duties. W e resolved nevertheless to complete the fifth year of Development Fund activities in order to make sure we had a sound basis for underwriting the need for increased facilities.

The Development Fund - Under the impiring leadership of Mr. Aubrey F. Roberts the Develop- ment Fund Board has concluded an outstanding year of accomplishment. All members participating in this work deserve special recognition and thanks from the Association. The vision of the founding members of this enterprise as a means of stimulating our membership and assisting the University in a most tangible manner has proven its worth over a five-year inaugural period.

I t is now our responsibility to provide the Fund Directors and our Executive-Director with the facil- ities they require to carry on and expand their or- ganizations. Your Executive has already com- menced negotiations in this regard.

Personal - Most members feel that work in our Association is refreshing and interesting be- cause of the very cordial relationship existing be- tween our members, the University Administration and the Faculty. Added is the knowledge that the University needs and welcomes our help and sup- port in fulfilling the indispensable role it must have in the development of our Province and its people. This has been my experience and I would like to express my personal appreciation to all those who have helped carry forward this thirty-sixth year in the life of our Association.

Her teaching career to which she had looked forward after two years at IvIcGill College of E.C.-tne forerunner of U.B.C.-and one year at the Vancouver Xormal School, was cut short by her marriage to Fred Rolston, friend of her High School days, who pre-deceased her in 1045. She left three children to mourn her loss, a son, Robert, mem- ber of West Vancouver Municipal Council, and two daugh- ters, Mrs. Eric L. Hartley and Mrs. Norman 17. Foster.

societies which claimed her attention included the B.C. Branch of the Canadian Society for the Control of Cancer, and the Vancouver Symphony Society. During the Second World War, she was several times re-elected President of the Vancouver Women’s Canadian Club, whose members will perpetuate the memory of her splendid service during those years by the Mrs. F. J. Rolston Memorial Fund. She was a member of the Vancouver Parks Board from 1938 to 1947. She was first elected to the Provincial Legislature in 1941 and, in July 1952, was named Minister of Education.

In recent years Mrs. Rolston travelled widely, visiting, in turn, Eastern Canada and United States, the United Kingdom and Western Europe, Argentina and other South American countries, Australia, Honolulu, Japan and For- mosa, studying at first hand the institutions and ways of life of the peoples among whom she journeyed.

Eloquent tributes to her sterling qualities and to her achievements in the public service were paid, at the time of her death, by the leaders of all parties in the provincial legislature.

T h e feelings of all graduates and members of the Uni- versity were voiced by Chancellor Sherwood Lett in his opening remarks at the U.B.C. Autumn Congregation when he said, in expressing sorrow at Mrs. Rolston’s death, “ W e feel we have lost an honoured friend.”

CHOICE REV1 EW OF BOOK BY EARLE BIRNEY

(The review of Earle Rirney’s book, Trial of a City, from which the following extracts are taken, appeared in . the Eritish 1Veckly. London, dated December 25th last.

Micklem, himself a distinguished writer, theologian and ‘7he reviewer, with pen-name of Ilico, is Dr . Nathaniel

poet. Earlc Birney recently met him at the Authors’ Club i n London antl writes, “Oddly. my first contact with Dr. Micklem was fifteen years ago when I reviewed a book of his poems. The Labyrinth, in the Canadian Forum. He did not know of this when he reviewed mine (just as well, perhaps.)”-Ed.)

EARLE BIRNEY

The End of Vancouver - llico Major Earle Birney is professor of English Lit-

erature in the University of British Columbia and a poet. As a professor of English Literature he has paid especial attention to Piers Plowman and pecu- liar inattention to the science o f punctuation. r \ s to being a poet, that is no credit to him at all, for even I could he a poet ( I fondly believe) if my life were spent upon the campus in Vancouver. Major Birney is a wit and a satirist as \yell as a poet, and he writes with the most invigorating zest. There is a picture of him (antl of Uritish Columbia) on the jacket of his ne\\. book ; the portrait is convincing.

I begin appropriately with his Christmas Ode. It starts thus:

There was the star of course over the Gatineau hills sudden and bright as a god In the commotion, three \’ice-biarshalls roared to the air in pursuit But it was only a nova in Virgo betraying some cosmic tantrum that ended a million years back In a week the sky looked safe and the astronomers’ charts were mended.

Page 26

My contribution to this is the full stop at the end; the author must take all responsibility for the comma in line 4.

This is not very like Peor and Baalim Forsake their temples dim

but it seems to me along the same lines, and Milton would have been none the worse for a keener sense of humour. . . .

Major Birney cannot be hailed as a satisfactory exponent of orthodox Christianity, but he believes (do all Christians believe as much?)

that somewhere again there has been a Birth and Christmas . . . Christmas . . .

The exclamation mark is Major Birney’s. could be any day every day now and forever!

I am not in general very good at “modern poet- ry,” but I like this; i t is all so boisterous and vivid and unsentimental. There is here a splendid travel poem describing a journey (by air) from Montreal to Vancouver. I found myself comparing it, as I read, with Calverley’s cele1)rated Dover to Munich. This is (in part) h u w Calverley describes the eve- ning :

Bathed in kindly light those hilltops cold; In the sapphire \.\:est the eve yet lingered,

Fringed each cloud, and stooping rosy-fingered, Changed Rhine’s waters into molten gold.

Calverley represents perfection of form. Here is Major Birney on the dawn:

Like jungle-bright parrots migrating the jangling colours and clouds of the dawn overtake us snuffing the dew-bead lights of the farmhouse kitchens filling the sky with the cry of the day. . . .

I personally think that last line quite useful, and I want to pronounce i t like a cockney; these asson- ances are not unintentional with Major Birney, but he’s “got something on” Calverley, as the modern idiom has it. . . .

I have never ceased to admire and commend Francis Brett Young’s The Island as a magnificent poetic achievement. I t is the epic of England from the very beginning down to 1940. Major Birney has attempted something along the same lines but on a very much smaller scale and in a wholly dif- ferent idiom for the city of Vancouver. H e has written a play which he calls Trial of a City. This by implication is in verse. Some of it seems to me quite indubitably in prose (though with modern poets it is difficult to be quite sure), and of the rest some beyond all question is not poetry. But it is a most engaging and ofen hilarious composition, and the author must have enjoyed the writing of every line of it. . . .

I have compared and contrasted Major Birney with Milton and Calverley and Brett Young. H e emerges from the ordeal with no small credit.

+ + Dr. Lionel Stevenson Continued from Page 3

declares the book to be the “most complete Mere- dith Biography yet.” Time, under the heading “The Wounded Egoist” calls it “the first grand-scale resurrection of Victorian literature’s most neglected writer.” The New York Times in applauding the volume writes, “Mr. Stevenson-author also of a biography of Thackeray, “The Showman of Vanity Fair”,-everywhere floods with light the deep per- sonal roots of Meredith’s novels . . . Nothing in Mr. Stevenson’s biography is more valuable than his demonstration of that courageous and painful honesty that is the supreme achievement of Mere- dith’s social comedy.”

Authors Eric Nicol and Ernest Plerrault, composer John Brockington, the actors, directors- one of whom was Philip Keatley, and assistants- including Irene Carlsen, were rewarded by t:he gen- erous and enthusiastic response of their audiences. Behind their modest success lay a story of co-opera- tion and warm-hearted assistance without which the Revue would not have been possible. “Town and gown”, faculty and students, undergraduates and alumni-all were united in a single effort.

To the alumni the “Blue and Gold Revue” owes a tremendous deht of gratitude. Without their assistance the actual running of the production would not have been possible. Two distinguished alumni, His Honour Judge Lord and Mr. Kenneth

THE CAMPUS by WiI

Since you’ve probably been following the more sensa- tional and dynamic side of student life on the front pages of the local press I’ll confine myself to a description of the more worthwhile events that have been going on around the Campus.

T h e fall blood drive has gone dowu in the records as the most successful fall blood drive in the history of U.B.C. What started out as a five day campaign designed to net the Red Cross 1500 pints of blood quickly turned into a rout, and after four days and two hours the Red Cross, richer by 1922 pints, was forced to close shop, because of a shortage of equipment, and turned away many potential donors. After the enthusiasnl shown during this Fall Blood Drive, officials are confident that the Spring drive will see the return of the Canadian Inter-Collegiate “Corpuscle” trophy to the U.B.C. Campus.

THE HIGHER EDUCATION by David Brock

Back the Pack: B.C. was fortutlate this autumn in having Can-

ada’s only candidate for the title of Miss Football. The competition took place in Berkeley, California. I forget what the result was. Probably somebody from Frog City, Vermont, won the coveted honor and brought new lustre to her Alma Mater. In any event, somebody won it. I don’t suppose she was expected to look like a football or even act like a football . . . it is not necessary or even desirable for Faith to have too humble a connection with Logic. Football is one thing and Metaphysics another.

With the help of certain graduates, I am plan- ning to have a little competition next February, on Saint Valentine’s not very metaphysical day, to select Miss Basketball, Miss Billiard Ball, Miss Golf Ball, Miss Curling Stone, and Miss Tennis Ball. Roll on ! Roll on, thou gold and dark blue spherics, roll! (Byron, but not Byron Johnson.) I think we might also have time, and the inclination, to choose Miss Canasta, Miss Community Chest, and Miss Homemade Pickles, not to mention a certain Miss Giving. For the men, we shall have a very pretty struggle to see who-ll be known as Joe College for the coming year. Bottled Gas

Not long ago, a campus social worker told the Parents’ Institute and the Parent-Youth Conference (and possibly the Babies’ Union) that if you prop a baby’s bottle and leave the kid to feed by itself that way, you are stunting its social growth. (The baby’s social growth, not the bottle’s. The social growth of the bottle is unabated.) A baby fed by a propped bottle doesn’t learn the meaning of co- operation. He has trouble holding jobs, making a successful marriage, and living with others. So now you know.

I had long suspected it. I knew an old prospec- tor who lived on the propped bottle. Or rather, on the propped keg. Above his I)ed (in which he hil)er- nated) was a keg of beer. From the keg to his mouth there was a tube. When the keg was empty he got up and installed a fresh one and went back to bed for another few weeks. In the spring he was weak as a cat, and had great trouble in holding jobs, making any sort of marriage (let alone a successful one), and living with others. (He really did exist, by the way.)

Of course, many babies don’t want to live with others. Sometimes they are quite right, too, nor is their trouble mere Timonism. A4nd a distinguished teacher has recently said we are getting far too much emphasis on co-operation, which can be de- grading and lazy, with less work being done and much poorer work. However, he was probably just trying to justify his own propped bottle. In- stead of saying “Who prop, in these bad days, my mind?” he should ask “Who propped, in those bad days, my bottles?” The Sensitive Plant

One of the deans was addressing the Society of Industrial and Cost Accountants of B.C., and he told them we must be educated in how to live as well as in how to earn bread. Which is true en- ough. H e said we must be taught sensitivity, com- passion, and nobility. Well, yes, perhaps . . . if these things can really be taught.

Page 32

However, we must make sure they are of the right sort. The general idea today is to feel noble all right, but too noble to work. As for sensitivity and compassion, we have quite a lot of those, but we tend to feel sorry for all the wrong things, in- cluding ourselves. According to Edmund Bergler (no relation to Burglar Bill), man is an animal that goes round collecting injustices. Our basic neurosis, he feels, is what he calls psychic masochism. W e inflict suffering on ourselves as a hobby. (This makes us feel pretty noble, too.) Yet even in hav- ing this form of fun we cannot enjoy it, for there is a fringe of distaste around every human desire, in- cluding the desire to make yourself cry. Nutcracker and Mouse King

I am glad to see that the Extension Department has extended itself to include a course in Toy Mak- ing. Unfortunately, the Technical School is not planning to co-operate by giving a course in Persian Philosophy or casting fresh light upon the Dark Ages . . . which (I’ve heard) are called dark be- cause we know so much about them.

However, let us remember that toys in college are no new thing. In some respects, my own educa- tion was entirely concerned nit11 toys, and I am not gloomy enough to fancy I was unique. The list of the toys I acquired or made is too long for this page. But it included my first tobacco pipe, my first professor of English, my first awakening to love . . . aroused by a damsel who sat across from me at a library table . . . or who sat there till she noticed passion in my eyes, blistering my nose, and she went home and told her mother she hated col- lege, and her mother said all right, then, she needn’t remain. As a result, my wife is not a college gradu- ate. But that is all equal to me. As I tell her, my sheepskin is something of a toy too, though I sel- dom get it down and play with it.

+ + “SETS BY CLIFF ROBINSON”

How often has that brief notice appeared on a University theatre programme! The “Blue and Gold Revue” is only the latest production to owe a debt of gratitude to Cliff who, besides being a very fine painter and artist, is also one of Canada’s out- standing and most modes& theatre designers. And in his case “sets by” does not mean only the design- ing but also the actual painting.

A setting by Cliff Robinson is always “theatri- cal” in the right sense of the word, contributing to and reinforcing the spirit of the play for which it is designed. And each setting also is witness to the artist’s own creative individuality-a combination of delicate perception, boldness, wit, and personal comment. U.B.C. is indeed lucky in the possession -if we may he said to “possess” him-of a theatre artist of Cliff Robinson’s quality. His backdrops for the Varsity Revue, the setting for “Totem Park” will remain 3 delightful and witty memory-until he designs his next set for us. ”D.S. + +

“Blue and Cold Revue” Conlinued from page 33

What should be the purpose and effect of a “Blue and Gold Revue”? The “Revue” should have a two-fold

university life and to draw together in cast and production purpose-to portray by parody representative aspects of

team members of the student, faculty and alumni groups. O n all too few occasions is there an opportunity for these three groups to work together, to expose one to the experi- ence and viewpoint of the others. Here is a project which provides personal enjoyment and satisfaction in co-operat-

sity is mature enough to laugh at itself and, at the same time, to create a lasting impressiou that many of the events and institutions lampooned in the show have also a useful function. That is not to suggest that a veil of seriousness be draped over the whole production-not at all. A revue is essentially a gay caricature. Rut while we entertain ourselves and our “downtown” friends with hilar- ious comedy, there is ample reason for attempting to leave a serious impression from the harmonious entertainment.

Wha t is the prospect for the immediate future? The favourable reaction to the first show is due in large measure to the novelty of such an endeavour in entertainment in Vancouver. I am sure that the directors are fully aware of the defects-and there were many-of this year’s show. To attain even the same level of success, the next attempt will have to be several times more polished and the talent much improved. Further, staggering proudction problems face those eager to prepare for the next show.

If the show is to go on again next Fall, writing, corn- posing and planning m u s t begiu now. Even more support from students, faculty and alumni will be essential. Can U.B.C. establish the institution of the “Blue and Gold Re- vue”?-TUUM EST.

University Service (an international organization serving students and staff of universities in forty countries alld with international headquarters in Geneva) organized sun1- mer tours at the end of the recent war in order to take Canadian university students abroad for eight weeks of study with Europeans. Four summer seminars were held, in France, Germany and Holland in the years immediately after the war, but in 1951, because of financial difficulties, the seminar was held near Ottawa and for a shorter period.

Definite plans were finally made for the summer of 1953. The Indian W.U.S. committee in New Delhi completed arangements in India, the Ford Foundation made a very generous grant to the Canadian committee (the first time they had given such aid to a student group), businessmen and service clubs, universities and provincial departments of education, all contributed funds for the enterprise.

Four days in Paris allowed us only time to watch the coronation on television and meet the eight Europeans who were delegates from their national W.U.S. committees.

Supplied with reading material on India, and pills, we boarded our chartered plane, leaving Paris at noon, stop- ping at midnight at Nicosia, capital of Cyprus, under a magnificent Mediterranean sky, and spending the next noon in the broiling heat of Bahrein, in the Persian Gulf. Midnight brought us to Bombay, and six hours later we were on our way by train to the south, and Mysore city.

ALLAN McLEAN HURST In Memoriam

By Paul N. Whitley, B.A. ’22 (Paul N. Whitlcy is Principal of Lord Byng High

School. H e served in the Canadian Infantry and was wounded in World War I. After the war he entered U.B.C. where he was Editor-in-Chief of Puhlications in

After short periods of teaching in Kamloops, Vernon and 1920-21 and Alma Mater Society President in 1921-22.

During World War I 1 he was for two years in charge of Army Education, Pacific Command.-Ed.)

One of the out- standing students and leaders of the sixth class gratlu- a t e d from this University \v a s . \ l l a n M c L e a n Hurst . \.l’hen the class of ‘22 held i t s G r a d u a t i o n Dinner in the Citi- zens’ Club on the top floor of the \.ancouver Block on RIay 4. 1922, .Allan was Master o f C e r e m o n i e s . The -4rts students made him their I)ermanen t c 1 a s s president. ’I’ h e TJ. 13. C.

Book of Sen-ice for \\~.orId \Yar 1 states that he en- listed as a private in March, 1916, ~ v i t h t h e B.C. Company of the 196th \V e s t e r n Universities Bat- talion. It is rec- orded that he he- catne a sergemt i n three mouths

and a sergeant-major two months later. Reverting to the ranks he went from England to France where he was severely wounded.

In the last war the Y.M.C.A. wanted a suitable man to direct their services on the Air Force Sta- tions in Pacific Command. Their choice \vas Mr. A . McL. Hurst. So exceedingly well did he fill this position that he was retained in their service and sent to Toronto xvhere he compiled the history of the Y.M.C.A. M‘ar Services for Canada and the Overseas countries.

The teaching profession attracted Allan. It \vas here that he proved himself an excellent instructor xntl administrator, always giving freely of his time and himself i n the interest of students.

’Chis man of service to his fellowmen died sud- denly, possil,ly not witlmut secret warning to him- self for he never really recovered from his war \vounds. His passing leaves us stunned. “No, not .Allan,” “It just can’t be true.” are the first reactions we experience. I t is true, for there comes into

Page 48

focus in our minds all that he meant to us, t o his host of friends, and to his colleagues.

The Hurst family moved from Bruce County, Ontario, to Vancouver when Allan was but eight years of age. They resided i n the Grandview dis- trict where it \vas natural that he attend the Britannia High School as he grew up. I t was in this school that he came under the influence of Mr. T . -4. Urough aud the late John Dunning especially i n the field of language study.

\\70rltl \17ar I demanded the attention of young men such as AAl. He responded by enlisting in the \Yestern Universities Battalion. H e worked at soldiering as he did at everything he undertook. His re\vartl was rapid promotion. When the B.C.. Com- pany bade farewell to Vancouver under command o f the late Major K. W . I3rock, Sergeant-Major 1-1 urst \vas the senior non-commissioned officer. Service o n the tiring line \vas the objective of every \~olunteer. Reverting to the ranks in England, Allan was soon in France with the 7th Battalion. On September 27, 1918, he \vas wounded, later being discharged i n Canada.

As a young veteran, ex-soldier Hurst soon estab- lished himself as a student leader in the infant University of British Columbia with the class of .Arts ’22. In Philosophy and in English he set the pace. He won the distinction of being the first to graduate Ivith honours i n this field of activity. S o t only iu scholarship did he excel but also \vas this true i n the life of the student hotly.

“Hurst , rugl~y mau and presitlent of the ;\Len’s Lit..” “The man of many inches,” for he \vas quite tall, is his description in the 1921 Annual. I n those (lays the Glee Club was a leading activity. A I was one of the reasons. His “Muck-a-muck” page in the Ul~yssey, both caustic and humorous gave the “shacks” a lifelike quality not always free from Faculty criticism. It was said that “He taught us philosophy and vain deceit.”

Mr. H urst \\‘as amongst the first post-\var gratlu- ates to study teacher training at the Vancouver Normal School. School-teacher Hurst served i n a \7ancouver Illementary School for a short time prior to a H.gh School appointn~eut Lvhich took him to A\rmst ro~~g. for three years. Allan then became princip1 of the Kevelstoke Hig-11 school until 1940 \\hen he \\.as granted leave o f alxence to take charge of the Y.3I.C.A. W a r Services in Pacific Command. During this period of leave one of his more noteworthy accomplishments was the erection of a building for W a r Services, later to become the present Community Centre in Prince Rupert. His interest i n this Northern coast city no doubt in- fluenced his decision when he accepted an appoint- ment as principal of the Booth Memorial High School. Throughout his teaching career Mr. Hurst actively supported teacher organizations. His log- ical argument, sound advice and rare wit will be missed in the convention halls when teachers gather i n the future to consider their varied problems.

T f medals were given for service beyond the line of duty for an interest i n community work, AI would be one to qualify. He ran an excellent school, par- ticipated in local service c1ul)s. sports organizations, Chamlxr o f Commerce and the Canadian Legion.

Fitting tribute was paid to his work when ser- vices were conducted in the Prince Rupert Civic Centre with Ivhich he had had so much to do. Also a Memorial Service by the staff and students of Booth Memorial School indicated the esteem and

regard in which he was held by the young ,people of the northern city. In Vancouver services, were conducted by the Rev. Harry Lennox at Simmons and McBride Funeral Parlours. Here his comrades of the 196th Battalion gathered i n their diminishing numbers together with many of his ex-students and University friends to pay their last respects.

In December, 1924, Mr. Hurst married Ella Dunlop. Mrs. Hurst now resides in Prince Rupert. H e is survived also by a brother, Tom, antl R Sis- ter, Flora. ,4 host of friends extend to them. their heartfelt sympathy in a time of irreplacable loss.
