EMERSON GEIVNIS Commerce Division

COMMERCE By EMERSON GENNIS

B.Com. ’48

Recent years have seen a marked change in the relationship between the University and alumni. The successful reorganization of the commerce alumni is an example of this change as it ap- plies at the branch or division level of the alumni organization at U.B.C. The key to the success of the commerce alumni program to date perhaps could best be expressed this way: the commerce alumni organization fulfills a need created by the greater interest on the part of graduates in the whole matter of higher education, and by University ac- ceptance of the fact that alumni can contribute valuably to the “management” of the institution, as well as to its coffers.

This growing interest of alumni in the University. and of the University in alumni, is largely the result of the U.B.C. development fund drive in 1958. The stimulus this atmosphere provided for the program of re-activation of the commerce alumni division cannot be mini- mized.

Shortly after the war, the commerce alumni division was re-activated. The first president was Don Miller, B.Com. ’47. followed by Terry Watt, B.Com.’49. Their efforts were extensive and aided greatly in maintaining liaison between the University and commerce alumni. Early in 1958, after the conclusion of the active period of the U.B.C. development fund, Dean E. D. MacPhee suggested that the scope of activity of the commerce alumni division should be expanded. This program got under way in the spring of 1958, with the formation of an advisory council. This group consists of: Eric Turnill, B.Com.’41, Hunter Vogel, Honorary Alumnus ’58, Bill Mer- cer, B.Com.’43, Ben Stevenson, B.Com. ’38, Don F. Miller, B.Com.’47, Ken F. Weaver, B.Com.’49, Murdo MacKenzie, B.Com.’44, George H. Taylor, Com. class of ’55.

ALUMNI NEWS

Reintroduction of Annual Giving Program

Commerce Division -a New Concept in Alumni Activity

Members of the council were chosen on the basis of a broad representation of graduating years and business interests. They were asked to serve on the advisory council to assist in determining a “purpose in life” for the commerce alumni division. Several meetings were held with the dean and as a result it was decided that the division should concern itself with seven basic areas of interest: 1 . Curriculum advisory-How well does the commerce curriculum meet the needs of the business community? 2. Graduate placement-How well does the commerce curriculum and training equip the graduate to enter the business world? 3. In-field training-The expansion of practical undergraduate training programs in business. 4. Student liaison-Provision and maintenance of liaison between graduates and undergraduates. 5 . Graduate establishment in communities-Provision of a point of reference for commerce graduates moving to areas away from the lower mainland. 6. Policy-The study of basic problems facing the commerce division (e.g., the adequacy of the present buildings and equipment for commerce). 7. Graduate fellowships-Establishment of a $2500 fund for graduate fellowship studies.

These, then, become the basic objectives of the Commerce alumni division. The advisory council, acting much as a board of directors, then set about getting the program under way. Commit- tees were formed to carry out the first six of these objectives, the seventh being left in abeyance temporarily. The chairmen of the committees are: (1) Curricu- lum advisory-John Harrison, B.A.’36. (2) Graduate placement-Ken Martin, B.Com.’46. (3) In-field training-Barry Baldwin, B.Com.’44. (4) Student liaison “George Taylor, Com.’55. ( 5 ) Gradu- ate establishment in communities - George Craig, B.Com.’48. (6) Policy- AI Brown, B.Com.’47.

An?zu.zl Giviug The committee chairmen along with

the advisory council form the “executive” of the commerce alumni division. I n total, there are some 40 graduates acting on the executive or committees, plus an additional 35 acting as commerce representatives i n communities all across Can- ada and the U.S.

REASONS WHY To review the past year’s successful

reorganization program, with the objective of pin-pointing the criteria for a successful alumni division, might be help- ful to other branches and divisions of the alumni association. These are the reasons why the commerce alumni reorganization was successful: I . It was undertaken at a time when alumni interest in higher education had been stimulated. 2. Cooperation of the faculty is essential. Dean MacPhee and his staff have exhibited f u l l and complete cooperation with the alumni. The objectives for the alumni division were established in conjunction with the dean, and his leadership has played a major role in the reorganization. 3. The entire foundation upon which the reorganization took place was the concept that in order to be of continuing value, the commerce alumni division had to have a purpose in life. 4. Finally, the most important of the criteria of success is people-the alumni themselves. Almost without exception, when asked to serve on the executive the alumni have responded enthusiastic- ally. The reason? It is simply that we asked them for their judgment and opinions on matters in the field of higher education.

ANNUAL GIVING By DON MILLER

B.Com. ’47 The Alumni Annual Giving Program

was created by the Alumni Association in 1948 to provide a means by which graduates and former students might contribute to the progress and development of the University. Annual giving replaced the alumni membership fee, all donors

U. B.C. ALUMNI CHRONICLE 4

becoming active members eligible to receive the U.B.C. Alumni Chronicle, U.B.C. Reports and other publications and to participate in alumni affairs.

From the first year of operation the fund has been successful. It has resulted in a significant increase in active membership, a keener interest in the work of the Association. and it has provided a new and increasingly important source of support for the University.

The 1959 Alumni Annual Giving Pro- gram ha>. to date met with excellent response. So far. $9,650.75 has been con- tributed by 822 alumni.

This indicates that the alumni have accepted the renewal of this program thereby proving their interest in the work of the University.

ESTABLISH HABIT It is our main concern to have all

alumni participate in some way rather than in reaching our objective through large contributions from a few donors. It is not the amount you give but the fact that you have participated in this campaign. To have all alumni establish the habit of giving to their University each and every year will enable our University to grow and thus meet the needs of higher education in British Columbia.

Brochures have been sent to all alumni pointing out that as of June, 1959, four new buildings have been completed, five are under construction and three more will be started in the very near future. While buildings are a very necessary part of the general expansion program of the University, we must also recognize the necessity of maintaining the proper ratio of faculty to student enrolment.

Our objectives in the 1959 Annual Giving Program are primarily: alumni regional scholarships; housing and residences. the President’s fund, and the library book collection. In addition to these four specific objectives, the alumni may also specify that their contribution be allocated to their own particular interest. Alumni have to date earmarked their contributions equally among the four objectives suggested by your committee.

The alumni regional scholarships have been a tradition with the Association and it is our hope to increase these scholarships from twelve to sixteen and to increase their value from $250 to $300 each.

Housing and residences are a necessary part of an expanding university and funds donated to this objective will be made available for furnishings and recreational facilities.

The president’s fund provides the president of the University with an unrestricted gift and in the past the President has used this fund for special needs that have not fallen within regular depart- mental budgets. For example this fund has been used for assisting the fine arts, the library and lectureships.

The library is the heart of any university and continuing support of this integral part of university life is required in order that funds will be on hand when important research or historical collections may be acquired.

CLASS REUNION-1919 The class of 1919-the first to take

the full university course in the Uni- versity of British Columbia-held a reunion in conjunction with the 1959 spring congregation. One of the dis- tinguished guests at the reunion was Professor Emeritus James Henderson, aged 94. who was appointed to teach philosophy in McGill University Col- lege in 1909 before it became the University of British Columbia. He retired in 1939.

Following the reunion Professor Henderson wrote to Mrs. Marjory Peck Martin. who organized the reunion. She has passed on to us the letter and we print below an excerpt from it.

*.. . . I have been looking into Tuum Est-that fine history of our University lately published, and I find that it says that the story of the first four years of the University ‘deserves to be written in letters of gold.’ ‘They were,’ i t goes on to say, ‘for U.B.C. years of “blood, sweat and tears,” of trials, which, on the threshold of her life, were a supreme test of her ability to survive.’ The whole passage in Tuum Est (pp. 56-59) with its story of trial and triumph, and of the courage and devotion of our first President, Dr. Wesbrook, should be read by the class of ’19. For these first four years of the University were your four years too-years of trial and testing for you as for her, and running almost parallel with the course of the First World War. Some of your number joined the Army or the Air Force; some didn’t come back, and some

came with the scars of war on them, still evident today.

“Those who carried on their studies at home did so, I think, with a great deal o f earnestness. and a deep sense of the privilege they enjoyed in being able to do so.

”In those days we were all blissfully unconscious of the rather bleak en- vironment of the Hospital grounds, where our classes were held, contrast- ing so strangely with the beautiful landscape and noble buildings of the University today.

“That Class ‘19 made good use of the opportunities they had was evident at your Reunion. You are all forty years older than at your gradua- tion, but all seem hale and hearty. Some of those present fill important positions in our country, and all of you appeared not merely happy and prosperous. but thoughtful and alert “endowed with those qualities of mind and heart which enable one to play a. worthy role. May you continue to prosper!

“I ;am deeply sensible of the high honour you did me long ago in making me your Honorary President, and I wish now to thank you on behalf o f my wife as well as of myself for the great kindness shown us at this reunion and throughout the past years.

“With my best wishes to the Class of ’19 both collectively and individu- ally,

Yours truly, JAMES HENDERSON.

HOMECOMING NOVEMBER 7 By KINGSLEY HARRIS B.Com. ’47, B.S.F. ‘48

When we left the campus after midnight of 1958 Homecoming, on our way to finishing off the evening with a steaming cup of coffee in front of some- one’s blazing fireplace, 1 recall making a mental note that it had been my best day on the campus for many years. As I determined to attend the whole program next year, little did I realize it would be as Homecoming chairman.

Last year’s program made me realize what a lot Homecoming has to offer, not from the point of view of reawaken- ing nostalgic memories, but through being able to present a thoroughly interesting and entertaining day from morning to midnight. The variety of activities ranges through lectures, panels, discussions, sports, tour of buildings, reunions, luncheon, dinner and dancing.

Already the various committees that are working on 1959 Homecoming have come up with some interesting new twists. This year’s whole program, and especially the lecture-discussion topics, will be centred around the theme, “The challenge of science today.” Everyone is interested in what is taking place as man strives to conquer outer space.

To set these discussions on their right level, arrangements are being made to invite a key speaker from a leading aeronautical research organization which is active in rocket research in North America. He will speak on Friday evening.

NUCLEAR FALLOUT We are also keenly interested in the

related subject of what nuclear fallout means to us as individuals and to our children. To this end, discussions chairman Bert Curtis is planning a panel which will be entitled “Nuclear fallout -hazardous or harmless?” Or we might like to hear the age-old battle of the artsman and the scienceman revived with a panel discussion by carefully selected gladiators on the topic “Is the artsman educated for the scientific age?”

The reunions program is under the able chairmanship of Miss Anne How- orth who will co-ordinate the class reunions for the years 1924, ’29, ’34, ’39, ‘44 and ’49. Already the class presidents of the graduating years are discovering that their election to office “away back when” was really an appointment for life. These original class presidents are responsible for the organization behind the 5-year reunion dinners, and interest- ingly enough, the older the class the larger the percentage of returning grads.

Scanning briefly the 1959 Homecom- ing program, we see that the U.B.C. Grads versus the Thunderbirds Basket- ball Game will be played traditionally on Friday evening, November 6 , at 8 p.m., following a dinner for the partici- pants. Mr. Harry Franklin, last year’s Homecoming chairman, is in charge of the alumni athletic program.

On Saturday morning, Homecoming registration will begin at 9 a.m. in the Brock hall near the alumni office. For those who haven’t been back for some time, Lawrence Dyer, registration chairman, is planning to have guides on hand to direct you. After registration, people will congregate at the various Faculty coffee parties; most of these will be centred in the Brock hall. The organization of these coffee parties is under the chairmanship of Ken Rosenberg.

By I O a.m. it will be time to move into the lecture-discussions. Graduates will have a choice of two panels on nuclear fallout or Artsmen versus Sciencemen.

The president’s luncheon in the Brock will be in the capable hands of Mrs. Edith Woodman. This informal buffet affair provides the opportunity to meet special visitors and the students attend- ing U.B.C. on Alumni scholarships.

KINGSLEY HARRIS Homecoming Chairman

You will probably have a keener- than-usual interest in the 2 p.m. football game. The Homecoming game will be near the end of the 1959 football season, and against Saskatchewan. In the Western Canadian Intercollegiate Athletic Union, U.B.C. expects to be at the top of the pile. Should this prove the case, stadium seats will be at a pre- mium, because prairieites will be turning out in force and even with losing teams, U.B.C. support has been main- tained year after year.

Following the game, Homecorning alumni will be invited to the official opening of the new men’s residences. People from the Kootenays and Okana- gan will want to visit the residences by those names, which were built largely by contributions from these areas. For your convenience, Ken Rosenberg will see that transportation is available from the Brock to the residences.

CLASS REUNIONS A reception precedes each of the re-

union dinners for the classes of 1924, ’29, ’34, ’39, ’44, and ’49. Dinners begin about 6:30 p.m., and based on previous experience, they will still be going merrily along when dancing begins about 9 p.m. Again Barry Baldwin is in charge of the dance program which functioned so smoothly last year under his chairmanship. Due to recent modi- fications in the Brock, there will be over twice as much table space available compared to last year.

Other special committees have been established for developing entertainment (Jerry O’Connor and Bob Hill) and publicity (Jim Banham). The assistant general chairman is Mr. John Hunt. Repre- sentative of the student body on the 1959 Homecoming committee is John Goodwin.

Based on the outstanding success of the 1958 Homecoming, the 1959 committees are prepared to promise a full and entertaining day for those who return. Make your plans now to be at U.B.C. with a group of your friends, grads or non-grads, on Friday night and Saturday, November 6 and 7.

The University has been the recipient of many gifts from Mr. and Mrs. Koerner recognizing the needs of scholarship, besides the donation of money to build a faculty club and social centre worthy of its functions. In 1955 they established the Leon and Thea Koerner Foundation to support higher education, art, culture, and welfare. A love of their adopted country and a concern for youth have characterized Mr. and Mrs. Koerner’s benefactions. Mrs. Koerner’s special interest in the creative arts is reflected in the gifts of the foundation.

The University

of Buenos

Aires

By J. M. Daniels The “courtyard” of the Faculty of Sciences building at Buenos Aires i s shown above. The physics department occupies the right hand side of the balcony in the centre of the picture, and about half of the department’s accommodation is visible. Below

In the middle of November I went to the Faculty of Exact and Natural Sciences of the University of Buenos Aires as a UNESCO “expert in experimental physics.” The notice from which I first learned about this post said that an expert was needed to organize research in microwave spectroscopy of gases. and in nuclear magnetic resonance, that UNESCO would provide several thousand dollars’ worth of equipment, and that it was hoped that the expert would be able to demonstrate the judicious use of this equipment to the students.

When I arrived at the Faculty I found no students prepared to do research, no laboratory in which to do research, almost no equipment, and no hope of any more being provided. This was my first visit to Latin America, but I soon came to understand the atmosphere, and after a few days in Argentina a situation like this seemed quite natural.

UNIVERSITY CITY The Faculty of Sciences is housed in an

historic building near the centre of the city. Being an historic building, it is quite inadequate and unsuited for its function, and structural alterations may not be made which detract from its historical appearance. There are plans to build a new university city about five miles from the centre of Buenos Aires, but no one believes that this will materi- alize for several years. In the meantime work continues in the old quarters.

The physics department has about as much space as the big lounge in the

DR. J . M. D A N l E v i s an associate P o -

Faculty of Arts and Science. fessor in the physrcs department of the

Brock Hall. This is divided into a lecture theatre, a laboratory, and some half- dozen microscopic offices. In this space some 2,000 students learn physics. Al- though there are over 1,000 first-year physics students, only two or three graduate at the end of the five-year course. As the lower class men are so much more numerous than the graduates, they haze the new graduates, the re- verse of what happens here. One morning, seeing some brunette curls lying on the floor, I asked what had happened. The reply was, “Oh, some girl has just graduated.”

To understand this fantastically low output of graduates one must remember that Peron ruined the universities almost completely. There were police agents in the lecture rooms, and the criterion for appointing staff was party loyalty rather than academic competence. Almost all of the competent teachers either were ex- pelled or resigned. In addition the students play a very important part in university politics and at the present time they wield so much influence that they can secure the dismissal of almost any professor they wish. Under these circumstances serious study was almost impossible. The handful of students who graduate this year had started their courses in the impossible Peronist era; the 1,000 first-year students are starting under much more favourable circumstances.

Just before I arrived there had been a short period of student agitation about whether the Catholic University of Ar- gentina should be allowed to grant degrees. There had been demonstrations at the National Congress, and riots, and the University had been closed for two weeks. As a result, the academic term

was still in progress during a part of what should have been the summer holi- days. Although Peron had been out of office for three and a half years, very little has been done to reorganize the universities during this time. The personal animosities created during the dic- tatorship were not forgotten with the fall of Peron, and the past three years have been a cooling-off period and a time for settling old scores. Many of the younger and more vigorous scientists (and some of the older ones too) are away on fellowships, taking the first opportunity to travel aboard that anyone has had for fifteen years.

QUEER UNIVERSITY HOURS University hours are queer, too. Al-

though there are some students in the Faculty all day, the large majority study between 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. This is because it is traditional that the professors do not regard a professor’s job as a full- time one. Most professors hold several jobs, collecting several salaries of course. Some hold several professorships at once, commuting between various universities to deliver their lectures. Those who hold jobs in the public service or industry must naturally discharge these duties during the day, and can therefore lecture only in the evening. The students are thus forced into this pattern, and work during the day too. A very large part of the population of the country has several jobs at once, and claims that this is a wise insurance against political and industrial instability. However, it is not a good foundation for an efficient university.

As is now well known, the national economy is almost as bankrupt as the

University, both financially and spirit- ually. However, many people are determined that Argentina shall recover and be, at least, the leader of Latin America. A program of economic reform and in- dustrialization is being forced on the country. This naturally affects the universities. There is at present a demand for trained scientists and this demand will grow. The dean of the Faculty of Sciences (who, incidentally, spent several years in the United States, and three years ago married in Vancouver) is determined that his part of the university of Buenos Aires shall be an efficient institution, unlike what it has been before.

Shortly after my arrival he decided that a new laboratory must be built for physics research. This was built in a basement of the Faculty, where the engineers used to have a lecture room before they moved into a building which Eva Peron had built for her social service schemes. The dean decided to cut red tape and get the laboratory built by direct contract " w o r k o n a new physics teaching laboratory had been at a standstill for six months because the official university construction agency had run out of money. One day during conversation, the dean told me that the new laboratory was progressing well, he had just signed the contract with the builders and had been out to buy the bricks that day. As a joke, I asked him if he had had to buy the bricks on the black market, and in all seriousness he replied, "Yes." We found later that, in the prevailing state of rapid inflation, suppliers were very reluctant to sell anything.

We occupied our new laboratory three weeks after it had been started. This


was considered by everybody a record for speed in construction, and produced a great boost in morale. We collected together a group of some half-dozen people. moved into the new laboratory just before Christmas, and constructed some simple apparatus. This was beginning to give results by the time I left at the end of January.

I paid two visits to a very different physics teaching institution, the Institute of Physics at Bariloche. Bariloche is an exceedingly beautiful small town in the Andes, about 600 miles from Buenos Aires. I t is situated by a large lake, Nau- he1 Huapi, and is surrounded by mount- ains. It is a summer holiday resort, and a skiing resort in winter.

FAR FROM INTRIGUE Four years ago, the Atomic Energy

Commission realized that it could not get physics graduates from the universities, and decided to found its own school a t Bariloche, far away from the intrigues of Buenos Aires and in a place where there would be no possibility of working only part time. The Institute takes the best 15 students of physics from the whole country who have completed second year at a university, gives them a 3Yi-year course and turns out 15 graduates a year. At present this is more than half the total output of physics graduates for the whole country. The standard here is quite high, the graduates being approximately at the same level as an M.A. at U.B.C., but without the research which is required for an M.A. The problem here is quite different from that at Buenos Aires, of course, being to improve an already good institute, to in-

crease the research facilities, and to ex- pand the facilities for teaching experimental physics.

The universities in Argentina are re- organizing themselves at a fantastic speed, and virtually trying to pull themselves up by their bootstraps. This cannot be done with native talent alone, and there has been generous help from UNESCO and similar organizations. For example, there was another UNESCO adviser there when I arrived who had been advising in the Atomic Energy Commission at Buenos Aires and at the University of La Plata, and who later directed a summer school in nuclear physics at Bariloche. On my project two more advisers were to come from Swe- den, one in March, 1959, and another in September. Thus, the work which was started at Buenos Aires will have been supervised by foreign scientists for eighteen months, after which time outside supervision will not be necessary.

As a result of my visit, connections have been made between U.B.C. and universities in Argentina. One of the research workers from Buenos Aires is at the physics department a t U.B.C. and will return in September. Three students from Bariloche are expected to spend a year at U.B.C., too, starting in September.

The students I met in Argentina are quite as intelligent and capable as any I have met in North America or Europe. The impediments to the development of physics in Argentina have been a lack of tradition and an overbearing bureauc- racy. If these are changed the progress in Argentina, not only in science but in other fields, will be phenomenal.

FISHERIES SCIENTISTS SAY -

ARTIFICIAL

u 8 . c. A L U M N I C H R O N I C L E 14

SPAWNING IS NOT T H E ANSWER

The practical difficulties are easy to visualize. First of these is holding of the adult salmon until the eggs are mature. There would be no point in building hatcheries near the headwater spawning areas which are capable of doing a better job naturally. Any advantage of a hatchery facility would be in placing it below a major dam thus obviating the necessity of a fishway. However, most schemes for power development of the Fraser require mainstem dams several hundred miles from the spawning grounds of the sockeye. In consequence when the salmon arrived at a dam they would not be fully mature. There is no way known of maturing the eggs outside the body of the salmon, and there is therefore no alternative to holding the adults until the eggs are ready for fertilization. Since the runs number in the millions this would be a staggering undertaking. It might also be futile because under these holding conditions a large percentage of the salmon may completely fail to achieve maturity.

Problems of rearing the young fish would also be immense. A modern salmon hatchery capable of rearing 2 million sockeye to seagoing size costs approximately $1,000,000 and at least $60,000 annually for operation. The Adams River run alone would require 100 such hatcheries to equal the natural production of seaward migrants. The super-hatchery installations required would have 16,000 standard-size rearing ponds, an inflow of several thousand c.f.s. and a labour force of over 2000. Other lesser runs which are concurrent with the Adams run would require additional space. Even with all this effort to duplicate the numbers that would be produced naturally, the low survival rate of the hatchery-raised fish would fail to duplicate the natural return of adults.

SOCKEYE PRESENTS PROBLEM TO summarize, the Fraser fish-power problem centres around

h e sockeye salmon, the species of salmon which is least adapt- able to hatchery culture on any scale, and which occurs in such abundance in the Fraser River that hatchery and rearing facilities are inconceivable.

In many other large salmon rivers in British Columbia it would be just as difficult to conceive of successful hatchery programs. At the present state of our knowledge hatcheries at best must be considered as only partially successful last-ditch alternatives in the solution of fish-power problems.

Recent improvements in methods of passing adult salmon up and seaward migrants down over dams are mentioned by Mr. Gwyther as the complement of the supposed benefits of hatchery practices. Certainly it must be agreed that the heavy investment in fish-power research in recent years has been responsible for a significant improvement in design of fish protection facilities. Canadian scientists have played a substantial role both in the basic research and in the development of these new devices, with the result that in the past few years there have been a number of instances in British Columbia of their application for maintenance of fish at power developments on small river systems. The Seton Creek, Jones (or Wahleach), and Cheakamus developments of the B.C. Electric Company and a number of small industrial developments could be cited as examples. The experience gained in working out these problems is the basis for the positive assertion that present day knowledge is not sufficient to solve the problems posed by a potential integrated power development of a large salmon producing river.

Basically there are two problems on the large salmon rivers such as the Fraser for which no satisfactory solution has been found. First, salmon, especially sockeye, will not tolerate delay in upstream migration and there is no known system for transportation of large numbers of adult salmon over a dam without delay. The problem is not primarily one of engineering. Fishways, or lifts, locks or pumps, tank trucks or trains can all be engineered to accommodate large numbers of fish, although the cost would be high. The difficulty lies in convincing the fish that the facilities are designed for their benefit, i.e. getting the fish to go into them without delay and to proceed through them without stress, panic or injury. The answer to thesp problems lies with the research biologist studying behaviour and physiology. Recent findings in this sphere have been significant and there is much basis for optimism that they will lead eventually to much more successful design of apparatus for directing salmon from the broad expanse of turbulent spill

into the fish facilities. None of these developments have reached the stage where a solution based on them could be considered a calculated risk in a mammoth application to a major salmon river such as the Fraser.

SAFE TRANSPORT OF YOUNG FISH The second problem is centred on the safe transport of hun-

dreds of millions of young fish down over the spillways and through turbines. A large and well-coordinated research effort has gone into the design of both spillways and turbines to minimize losses, and engineering and biological studies to probe the possibilities of directing or guiding the young fish into safe downstream bypasses. Where river flow is extremely small, guiding by electricity or light has been used with success. In small forebay installations mechanical screening may be a feasible though costly protection. None of these techniques has measured up to the problem posed by large mainstem developments in which the freshet discharge accompanies the downstteam migration of the fish. For instance, effective mechanical screening on the Fraser would necessitate maintenance of approach velocities of less than one-half foot per second in the forebay of dams which with existing design would have velocities of 13 ft. per second during freshet periods. It is obvious that in addition to the tremendous costs of screening, physical conditions in the Fraser Canyon make it impossible to meet such standards.

The $lustration In Mr. Gwyther’s article of a “fish barrier” at the Brownlee Dam on the Snake River is a particularly un- fortunate choice of example. This facility, in its first season’s operation, has been extremely disappointing. The physical problem of keeping the fish barrier tight has not yet been overcome. Divers have found many holes in the plastic mesh. At many of the potential damsites on large British Columbia rivers the physical conditions would be far more rigorous than on the Snake, so that any attempt to copy this installation on a large British Columbia river could only end in disaster.

I t must be concluded that on the Fraser the scale, cost and physical limitations militate against any quick or simple solution based on facilities used elsewhere, especially considering the discouraging results on many of the major installations constructed to date.

In the past ten years substantial progress has been made in improving knowledge of the protection and production of Pacific salmon. Recent discoveries on requirements of salmon give some promise of increases in production by design of artificial spawning grounds. Hatchery techniques have improved to the degree that in a few highly local situations, small numbers of spring and coho salmon appear to have been produced economically in river systems that have been rendered unsuit- able for natural production. All of these developments have encouraged the thought that present runs of salmon can be substantially increased in the future. However this potential should not be considered as a substitute for existing runs, nor should it be believed that application of these new methods will solve all of the problems posed by power developments. At best hatcheries should be considered as only partially successful, last-ditch alternatives in the solution of fish-power problems. It is largely in this context that recent plans to enlarge hatchery production in the lower Columbia River should be viewed.

OTHER SOLUTIONS TO PROBLEM Similarly, progress has been made in recent years in the

design of fish pass and guiding facilities as solutions to fish- power problems. On a few small river systems power developments have been reconciled to the needs of fish conservation and this trend will undoubtedly continue. However, many of the recent installations are highly experimental and have been quickly improvised in urgent circumstances. They are as yet largely untested and in many instances have proven inadequate. It is thus considerably premature to extrapolate this modest degree of success to a point where it appears to be a solution to the problems posed by major hydroelectric developments on major salmon rivers such as the Fraser.

G. Gordon Strong, ubove, who gruduated f r o m U.B.C. with a bachelor of commerce degree in 1933, und returned the follouing year to earn his bachelor of arts degree, inuugurutes u new series o f ‘Chronicle’ profiles. They are uutobiographical in character and will outline the rise of graduates to positions of prominence. Mr. Strong is president of Brush-Moore Newspupers which publishes nine daily newspapers and operates u radio station from headquarters in Canton, Ohio, pictured below.

PROFlll I t has been suggested that I describe

some aspect of my work in the field of journalism. Perhaps it would be interesting to some to know how I happened to affiliate with a newspaper and radio group.

When I left the university in 1933 with a degree in commerce, I bounced back to get a degree in arts in 1934, - then headed for Northwestern Univers- ity graduate school of business administration. where I obtained a master’s degree in marketing and advertising. In 1935 I got my still-dry academic feet wet by going to work for Marshall Field and Co. in Chicago.

A few months later I was offered a teaching fellowship at the University of California, so I promptly resigned from Marshall Field’s, married a Northwes- tern girl, and headed west to take up graduate work. While at the University of California I was advised to obtain my graduate degree at an eastern school, and thereupon enrolled at Harvard for the school term beginning in September, 1936. En route to Cambridge, Mass., it was suggested that I drop by the Uni- versity of Toledo in Toledo, Ohio. I arrived on a Friday and began teaching in the college of business administration the following Monday. I have been a resident of Ohio since that time, with the exception of three war years spent with the American Red Cross as director of finance in the Mediterranean theater. I never did get to Harvard.

TAUGHT ECONOMICS At the University of Toledo I taught

various courses in the field of economics. On a part-time basis I served as consultant for a New York stock exchange firm and the Toledo Chamber of Com- merce. In 1941 I gave up teaching on a full-time basis to become executive director of the Blue Cross plan covering Northwestern Ohio, which I continued to direct until given a leave of absence for war-time service.

During my teaching tenure at the Uni- versity of Toledo I had acquired an LL.B. and was admitted to the Ohio Bar in 1940.

After VE Day, I received a cable from the publisher of the Toledo (Ohio) Blade inquiring if I would be interested in en- tering the newspaper business by way of the business office. I quickly replied in the affirmative and went to work as assistant treasurer of the Blade on Janu- ary 1, 1946. Six months later I was promoted to the office of treasurer, with responsibilities covering the accounting department, the purchasing department and the credit department.

u. B. c. ALUMNI CHRONICLE 1 8

- BY G. GORDON STRONG In 1948 I assumed the additional

duties of‘ business manager, and thereupon became responsible for the business tide of the newspaper’s operations, including that of labor relations.

In December of 1951 I decided to leave Toledo and the Toledo Blade. I became general manager of the Brush- Moore Newspapers, Inc., my present affiliation, and with my wife and two children took up residence at Canton, Ohio. our corporate headquarters. The Brush-Moore Newspapers, Inc., publishes nine daily newspapers (in the states of Ohio, Pennsylvania and Maryland), and operates a radio station in Canton, Ohio. As general manager my duties covered all phases of the business side of these properties. I reported directly to the president and publisher. the late Roy D. Moore.

INTERESTING CHALLENGE M y decision to join Brush-Moore

Newspapers was motivated primarily by my great admiration for Mr. Moore. The Toledo Blade was a much larger operation than any one of our properties, but I could envision being associated with Mr. Moore as a most interesting challenge and at the same time knew 1 could obtain a thorough grounding in all phases of journalism.

Mr. Moore was an extremely capable publisher. He had started in the newspaper business as a telegrapher, and by extraordinary ability and perseverance had become one of the outstanding newspaper leaders in the country. For three years he served as chairman of the Bureau of Advertising, a most unusual accomplishment for a publisher of newspapers of our size.

Upon Mr. Moore’s death in May of 1954 I became president of the organization.

General policies of our newspaper group are determined by a board of seven directors. o f which I am a member and presiding officer. Reporting to me on the corporate level are the following: an advertising director for the group: a classified advertising director; an executive editor: a circulation director; a production manager; and a director of radio.

In each of our papxs, which incidentally are divisions of the corporation rather than separate companies, we have a business manager and an editor. Our business managers and editors are jointly responsible for the successful operation of the individual papers but with the definite understanding that the business manager cannot dictate policy to the editor, nor vice versa. Occasionally a difference of opinion might arise, at

which time the issue is discussed and resolved in our headquarters office.

The company’s total employment ap- proximates 1,300, made up of editorial, mechanical, advertising, business office and circulation department personnel. Our papers range in size from 10,000 to 70,000 daily circulation and are the only daily papers in each of the markets in question. The cities in which our plants are located range from 15,000 to 150,000 population. Our radio station employs approximately fifty people.

Frequently my non-newspaper friends ask me how I put in my time. About all I can say is that as “boss” I must be prepared to make quick decisions on any of the many facets of our corporate operation. One minute I may be embroiled in a discussion or negotiation concerning editorial features, while a few minutes later a decision may be required on some phase of labor negotiations.

We have built four new plants in the past few years and this has taken much time and attention. The acquisition of new properties is very time consuming but at the same time most interesting. Our newest paper, the Hanover (Pa.) Sun, was purchased last year after several months of negotiations.

Advertising rate revisions to offset rising costs are occurring more frequently these days. When it is felt that a rate increase is in order, 1 call in the national, local, and classified advertising managers and together with our advertising director attempt to reach a unaminous decision on the amount of the increase and the effective date.

Mechanical problems, equipment pur- chases, circulation operations, financial discussions, and many other aspects of the business find their way to my desk. However, I should like to add that the most challenging and perhaps the most important phase of my duties involves the many complex problems associated with the broad field of human relations. This is true not only of our business but of all economic activity.

In general, editorial policy desicions are macle on the local level. An exception to this practice is that of political en- dorsements for state or national office. In this case we feel our entire group of papers should be consistent.

On the business side of the operation I have followed a policy of centralizing the purchase of newsprint, ink, and mechanical equipment. Otherwise the operating decisions are made by the individual business manager, with the understanding that any adjustments in circulation or

adve.rtising rates are subject to my approval.

It is necessary for me to do considerable travelling. For this purpose our company maintains a private plane, with our own pilot and co-pilot.

In addition to company activities I have found time to serve a two-year term as president of the Ohio Newspaper As- sociation, of which I am still a director. I am on the boards of the American Newspaper Publishers Association, the Bureau of Advertising of the ANPA. Inc., and the ANPA Research Institute, Inc. Recently I was elected to the direc- torate of the Inland Daily Press Associa- tion. These extracurricular activities bring me into contact with leaders in the field of journalism, and the experience has proven most interesting and informa- tive.

I have become a great champion of journalism as a profession. A newspaper is in fact the community cheerleader, making its coverage area a better place in which to live. This it does by encour- aging the support of community projects, schools, churches, and its clubs. It can also lead and work constructively for what it believes to be right. It is the one vehicle that can audit government at all levels and protect the people’s right to know.

MUST BE DEDICATED Our editorial pages can inform and

stimulate public thinking without appear- ing to be dogmatic. To be successful, a newspaper must be dedicated to the general welfare of the community it serves and at the same time it must resist the spccial pressures that are brought to bear upon it.

The newspaper business has developed from a professional standpoint so that today there are increasing opportunities for top caliber pcople in all phases of the newspaper’s operation. Starting salaries compare favorably with those in other business and professions. More and more newspapers are relying on college graduates in order to find the type of people prepared to assume the responsibilities of leadership.

1 do not know what the best way to enter the field of journalism may be. I came in one way, but there are other ways. This I do know, that everything I have done, everything I have learned, everyone I’ve met in my varied experience has helped me to do my part in one of the most fascinating and challenging fields of professional and business endeavor.

BOOK REVIEWS A MASTERWORK Clelland and Stewart, Toronto, Ont.,

Sheila Watson: the Double Hook, Mc-

1959. The Double Hook is a first novel but

its author, Sheila Watson, a brilliant graduate of the University in the thirties, is a mature, sensitive, and highly SO-

phisticated writer, who has here created a little master-work that will stand apart, in its own proud solitude, in the un- even pattern of a developing Canadian literature. Physically the work is slight +ne hundred and twenty-eight pages- and its values are certainly not to be measured by counting the lines or esti- mating inches of type. Rather the riches are to be found in the beauty of the writing and in the subtly compacted telling of a tale composed of such well- known ingredients as seduction. adul- tery. brutality, suicide, murder and il- legitimate birth. In the hands of another brewer the resulting potion could well be repulsive, if not completely unpalatable, but under Mrs. Watson’s magic touch. the elements merge into a richly poetic narrative. filled with compassionate understanding and pro- found tenderness.

Yet this is by no means an easy, summer novel to read. The very compactness of the telling and the poetic hand- ling of characters and situations issue an immediate challenge to the reader. If he is to grasp the threads of the story. if he is to find the rich emotional veins and understand the philosophical implications, he must read intently-not line by line but rather word by word-and he must involve himself in the lives of the characters through the willing use of his own imagination. A skimming through of the work, a casual reading will reveal little of the book‘s true worth. Perhaps even a truly intensive approach will not suffice; a second- even a third reading may be required before the real richness that is here can be felt in part at least, if not wholly. Mrs. Watson is not easy and she makes few concessions to please those who are looking for pablum entertainment. But neither does T. S. Eliot, nor did Donne. or Shakespeare, or Sophocles-to name but a few.

The opening page of the book im- mediately establishes the setting, intro- duces all the principal characters, sets the plot in motion, and shows the fresh- ness of the writer’s approach to the art of fiction:

In the folds of the hills under Coyote’s eye

lived the old lady, mother of William

of James and of Greta lived James and Greta lived William and Ara his wife lived the Widow Wagner the Widow’s girl Lenchen the Widow’s boy

lived Theophil lived Felix Prosper and Angel

and Kip until one morning in July

Greta was at the stove. Turning hot- cakes. Reaching for the coffee beans. Grinding away James’s voice.

James was at the top of the stairs. His hand half-raised. His voice in the rafters.

James walking away. The old lady falling. There under the jaw of the roof. In the vault of the bed loft. Into the shadow of death. Pushed by James’s will, By James’s hand. BY James’s words: This is my day. You’ll not fish today.

Here is death by violence-the murder of an old woman contrived by son and daughter, done by the hand of James while Greta tries to shut out the horror of tragedy by a simple domestic act-the grinding of coffee.

But the reader can proceed with quiet assurance that this novel is no mere murder mystery, no close kin to a tale told by a Christie or a Queen. Rather what follows is a richly poetic treatment of some of the great funda- mental constituents of human existence -of expiation of crimes committed, of hate and of love, of stubborn death and of triumphant birth-seen through the minds of the simple valley ranchers, all of whom are primitive philosophers. There is Felix Prosper, who lived “By chance. By necessity. By indiffer- ence . . .,” who “thought of nothing but the drift of sunlight, the fin-flick of trout, the mournful brisk music made sweet by repetition,” and when faced by the problems of existence “reached for his fiddle and began to play.” There is old Widow Wagner, who from time to time speaks with the righteous in- dignation of an Old Testament prophet. Of her wayward daughter she says: “Lenchen will suffer like the rest of us . . . She’s done wrong.” Only to be answered in Job-like terms by the real- istic Ara: “Right or wrong don’t make much difference . . . We don’t choose what we will suffer. We can’t even see how suffering will come.” Musing on James, the killer and the seducer, Kip, the cowhand, gives what is without doubt the heart of the book: “There’s a thing he doesn’t know. He doesn’t know you can’t catch the glory on a hook and hold on to it. That when you fish for glory you catch the darkness too. That if you hook twice the glory you hook twice the fear.”

Perhaps as a result of this philosophical type of dialogue the characters do not stand out as clearly delineated portraits, and for some readers at least this may lead to confusion in the reading of the text. And some readers, too, will pause to wonder how deeply symbolical the work is intended to be. Do the names of certain characters - Felix Prosper, Angel, Theophil-carry any symbolical implications? And what of the old mother, killed by James at the book’s beginning, but seen by many after her death - fishing here and there, then disappearing with supernatural sudden- ness? Does she symbolize the futility of man’s foolish hope that through violence he will gain tranquillity? Certain-

ly the Coyote is symbolical, standing for destiny or fate, for inevitable death, for unrequested birth. With the grandeur, the misty grandeur of a primitive god, he appears and reappears throughout the tale. It is “under Coyote’s eye” that the action opens with violent death. And it is under Coyote’s eye that the book closes,-with birth. The unhappy Lenchen, apparently deserted by James, has been helped through the agony of delivery by Felix, the indolent one, who in the moment of crisis has achieved a new stature.

GOOD EDITING Lord Selkirk’s Diary, 1803-1 804, edited

with an introduction by Patrick C. T. White, Toronto, The Champlain Society, 1958.

Canada, or rather those colonies of British North America that remained after the American Revolution, experienced, in the years between the Con- stitutional Act of 1791 and the War of 1812, the hopes and distresses, accom- plishments and disappointments of a new land being opened up for settlement. Loyalists who had suffered much for their adherence to the Crown found land awaiting them, and land-hungry men often found that they possessed unsuspected depths of loyalty. Legiti- mate settlers came to work the land, and speculators to manipulate the titles to land. There was excitement and struggle, a hundred ways to prosper and a thousand ways to fail.

Into this scene in 1803 came the un- likely figure of Thomas Douglas, fifth Earl of Selkirk. This Scottish aristocrat was an idealist who had been deeply moved by the troubles that social and economic changes had brought to the people of the Highlands and of Ireland, and he saw emigration as the only possible permanent solution. He was an Imperialist who was sincerely troubled by the dangers of the spread of Ameri- canism into British North America, and

he saw colonization as the answer to all this. Above all he was an enthusiast who saw everything in terms of the dreams that filled his mind. and tended to judge everyone he met in terms of his relation to those dreams. Plan after plan, scheme after scheme tumbled through his fertile brain. He wanted to establish British settlements in Louisiana in 1801. Failing there, he thought of the Red River Valley not only as a most suitable area for settlement but also as a strategic centre from which British control might be extended over the whole interior of the continent and on to the west coast. This project really remained his favourite, but here too circumstances forced delay. The fur traders. both of the Hudson’s Bay Com- pany and the North-West Company were steadfastly opposed to settlement schemes in their territories and it was not until I81 I , after he had purchased almost clne - third of the shares of the Hudson’s Bay Company, that he was able to start the colony there for which he is principally remembered in Canada. In the meantime he turned to other possibilities. In order to provide a sort of buffer to protect the British colonies from American influence he proposed to plant along the border a line of settlements of non-English-speaking peoples “Highlanders, Irish, Dutch - who would not be so open to the pernicious attractions of the United States. In 1803 he did manage to acquire the right to start a small development at Baldoon on Lake St. Clair in Upper Canada, but only on condition of his undertaking a larger enterprise on Prince Edward island.

But if his plans were magnificent and imposing, his achievements must be said to have been comparatively modest. The only one of his projects that had any real success during his lifetime was the one on Prince Edward Island that was more o r less forced on him and in which he had taken little interest in comparison with the others. Baldoon was a miserable failure and brought about a complete collapse of Selkirk‘s hopes in that region. The Red River Colony. whatever ultimate justification

i t was to give to its founder’s dreams, led during his lifetime only to bloodshed and long drawn out litigation that finally broke his spirits and his health and hrought on his death in 1820.

The Diary now edited by Patrick White and published by the Champlain Society was kept by Selkirk during his visit to North America in 1803-1804. The original MS. has unfortunately been destroyed, but the editor was able to use an apparently accurate copy pre- served in the Canadian Archives. The present edition faithfully reproduces the text, including the sometimes remark- able \pelling and grammar. There seems to be one omission, on page 58, where a sentence as given makes no sense, but generally the editing is excellent.

Selkirk‘s main purpose was to visit his newly founded colonies in Prince Edward Island and Upper Canada, but his diary records his impressions of the United States and of each of the other British provinces through which he travelled. The publication will be of interest to economic and social his- torians. Selkirk shows himself to have been an interested and acute observer. His notes are filled with the most minute observations. He gives sketches of methods of farming, of a sawmill dam, of water pipes used for irrigation, of kettles used in the making of salt. He frequently cites statistics on population, distribution of land, salaries of officials, prices, trade. His comments on the people he met are definite and outspoken and often surprisingly accurate considering the rapidity with which his opinions seem to have been formed. The subjects of his comments ranged all the way from Alexander Hamilton and the other Federalist leaders in the United States (with whose opinion that “the British Gov’t contained as much liberty as was consistent with a stable government” he very naturally con- curred). and of course the highest levels of society to be found in each of the British colonies, to the business agents with whom he had to deal, the priests who worked with the immigrants he had brought out or intended to bring, to the

settlers themselves. to the Indian chief who had “a curious resemblance rather carricature of the King.” But most of all the Diary throws a light an the character of Selkirk himself. \’/hat stands out most clearly perhaps is the practicality of the man, a feature that often tends to be forgotten. His dreams ancl his enthusiasm did not make him woolly-headed but rather led to ,In interest that in fact often extended to such minutiae as to become almost ridicu- lous. If Selkirk’s efforts often failed it may have been due to an excess of optimism, but certainly not to a lack of effort or interest on his part.

TIME BARRIER

’Time, Prentice-Hall, Englewood Cliffs, James T. McCay: The Munagement of

N.J., 1959. In the early part of this century

Frederick W. Taylor initiated the concept of management as a science. Since his time, training for management has been the focus of an increasing number of Ibooks, company training departments and university faculties. Most of these emphasize the functions of the manager, the techniques available to him. and his approach to those he manages. hlost assume that the manager is competent in managing himself; that he can do the things he knows must be done.

I n writing about the management of time, Mr. McCay makes no such as- sumption. One of his obvious premises is that many managers are chronically short of time to do the things they know they should be doing. The cause, as he sees, it, lies in the inefficient way the manager uses his time rather than in

antiquated data processing systems, poor patterns of delegation, or incom- petent subordinates. As an industrial engineer must eliminate a bottleneck in the factory by increasing the capacity of the operation in question, so a manager must keep himself from becoming a bottleneck by increasing the capacity of his mind and body to maintain the required flow of ideas, inspiration, plans and direction.

Is this a new problem? Perhaps not new, but an increasing one according to the author. This is the age of innovation. “The rate of innovation is accel- erating. Products and methods more often become obsolete before they are through the stage of final planning.” In this age of innovation the manager must be able to see further ahead than his predecessors. to handle more complex problem\ more quickly, to acquire more knowledge in shorter time, and to divest himself more quickly of obsolete patterns of thought and action. He can do this effectively only by multiplying his rate of output. By increasing his output he will have more time.

The simplicity of this logic is decep- tive. What must one do to multiply one‘s output, increase one’s efficiency. ;tnd achieve this wealth of time? “Refine your techniques of self management.” advises Mr. McCay. He proceeds then to show how this can be done; how he did it himself. His prescription involves three phases: “Increasing your alert- ness: increasing your available energy; increasing your knowledge and range of experience.”

His discussion of these three phases is lucid. straightforward, and provoca- tive. I t is peppered with examples, simple diagrams and familiar references. It is convincing. The reader is inclined to admit that he really doesn’t get accurate, clear and fast impressions of what is going on around him; that his alert- ness does indeed suffer through pre- occupation: that a tendency to be criti- cal and defensive does sap his energy; that he does waste a great deal of time speaking to people who are not really listening. I t becomes clear, too, particularly to the academical reader, that these problems are not the exclusive property of the manager, or even of the businessman.

The recommended remedies are not available to all and it is perhaps a weakness of the book that this is not pointed out. What is made to look like a simple program of self-development is actually most demanding of will, intel- lect and self-control. Above all, it re- quires a conviction that it is all worth it. As to the latter, Mr. McCay uses his considerable talents to persuade one that it is; at least at the moment the last page is turned. But how many of us will find the personal qualities needed to take his final piece of advice?

“As you read these words you may not have set a time to launch your attack on

time. If so, stop right now and ask your- habit and take over the control of your own

self this question, ‘What further do I need to go ahead?’ If you are hone? wlth your- self your answer can only be, I have all 1 need to start now.

Now is the time to act, gain time and your development for the next three months.

grow.”

On the principle that gaining a clear understanding of a problem is more than half the work of solving it, this book is recommended to others who fight the time barrier. What to most will be a lively evening’s reading may to some become the pattern for a more productive way of life. JAMES T .

PATIENT STUDY Albert H. Imlah: Economic Elements

in the Pax Britannica, Harvard Universi- ty Press, Cambridge, Mass., 1958. Pub- lished in Canada by S. J. Reginald Lunders and Company Limited, Tor- mto.

Dr. Imlah, member of Arts ‘22, is Dickson Professor of English and American History, and Professor of Diplomatic History in the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, Tufts University. This book, which has been in process for some twenty years, is evidence that the author might also occupy with success the chairs of economic history and economic theory. Sub-titled “Studies in British Foreign Trade in the Nineteenth Century,” it is the product of a rare and illuminating blending of political history, statistics and economic theory.

After Napoleon had been defeated, the great powers struggled to find a system that would not only prevent the resurgence of France but would also promote the “repose and prosperity of nations.” Conferences, treaties and military preparedness played their parts. Britain’s role was, at first, military. But she soon discovered that she could more usefully play a mediating role when “she had supplemented and strengthened her relatively weak military position for diplomatic mediation by exemplifying and promoting the attractive economic and social opportunities of the century . . . This became a distinguishing feature of the Pax Britannica and a chief reason for the large measure of success which it achieved.” In some 200 pages, the author sketches Britain’s performance in

international trade, resulting from her conversion to free trade policies in the 1840’s.

He first shows, by means of laborious salvaging of faulty official statistics, that neither the Industrial Revolution nor protectionism between 1796 and 1853. enabled Britain to export more than she imported. Only Britain’s sales of services: freight, shipping, commercial commissions. interest, enabled her to balance her foreign expenditures in these first fifty years. Interest and divi- dends were particularly important: in eleven of the 18 five-year periods after the boom of 1825? Britain had a foreign trade deficit: but by judicious investment. and by re-investment of the proceeds, she managed to earn more from abroad than she spent.

For economists, much of the value of this part of the work lies i n the heroic sifting of old statistics to obtain this trade information, and also estimates of the “terms of trade”: roughly, a measure of the quantity of imports that can be purchased by one pound’s-worth of exports. These lucid chapters are revisions of earlier Imlah researches that are already standard sources.

But Imlah uses the statistics in H

larger context, illustrating the failure of the protectionist system. He shows that Sir Robert Peel, the premier at the time of the repeal of the Corn Laws and the institution of free trade. could only revive Britain’s languishing industrial might by permitting buying and selling in world markets without official obstacles.

A final chapter traces the success of the free trade policy. British imports rose until they became equal to one- third of the exports of all countries of the world. This helped to produce a huge foreign demand for British exports, and a boom in Britain’s services. Moreover, in Imlah’s opinion, British national security was strengthened by economic capacity, internal class strife was reduced by the free-trade abolition of taxes believed to benefit only the landed aristocracy, and economic lib- eralism was promoted in other countries. Conciliation and peaceful economic development were demonstrated as more successful than military might, for “to open wider economic opportunities was to ease both domestic and international tensions for all the trading nations.” This clear and patient study will long be cited by historian and eco- nomist as documentation of the case for liberal international policies.

U. 8 . C . ALUMNI CHRONICLE 24

THE CAMPUS What sort of campus will students find

when they return this month to register for the 1959-60 winter session?

The physical changes will be apparent to all. Half a dozen new buildings have been completed during the summer and stand ready to serve both students and faculty. Out of town students will be housed in three new residences, the first of eight being constructed on Marine drive.

In recognition of the support given to the U.B.C. Development fund by varioua areas of the province, two residences will be named Okanagan House and Kootenay House. The third building will be named Robson House. for the late J. G . Rob- son of New Westminster, who gave $250,000 to the fund earmarked for residences.

Adjoining the residences and scheduled for completion on January 1 is a dining and recreational building which will serve all eight residences.

At the south end of the campus wings have been constructed to two buildings to relieve overcrowding in chemistry and the biological sciences. And at the opposite end of the main mall the new faculty club, built with a donation 01

$600,000 from Mr. Leon Koerner and the late Mrs. Koerner, is ready to become the social centre of the University.

A whole generation of students who attended U.B.C. in the late 1940s will sym- pathize with students who try to concen- trate in the library. The rattle of jack hammers and the roar of compressors will once again disturb studying students while construction proceeds on the south wing to the library. A contract worth $1,053,810 was awarded in July for the addition which will be completed by September next year.

The new wing will double the seating capacity of the existing building and provide space for additional stacks and car- rels. The four-storey structure will also have a special section for collections of rare and valuable works such as the 45,000-volume collection of Chinese books purchased earlier this year by the Friends of the Library.

Before winter hits the campus construction will start on two other projects.

25 u. B. c. A L U M N I CHRONICLK

The new medical centre, to Cost $2,800,- 000. will begin to take shape on Univer- sity boulevard opposite the War M m - orial gymnasium and construction will also start on a wing to the Buchanan building. The wing will be L-shaped and will gobble up the parking lot on the cast side of the building and extend down the east mall to the women’s gym.

How many students will be around Lo use the new facilities? Estimates vary but the best guesses put U.B.C.’s enrolment for the 1959-60 session a t 10,800 ar more. University officials doubt if the $100 fee increase will keep many students away and opinions vary as to whether or not students will have earned enough

MEMORIAL FUND UBC’s board of governors have

established a Thea Koerner Me- morial Fund, President N. A. M. MacKenzie has announced. (See Page 11).

The president said that many friends had expressed a desire for a memorial fund at the University in view of Mrs. Koerner‘s interest in helping young people. Certain contributions have already been received, the president added.

The board of governors will, in due course, decide on the most appropriate form of memorial, the president said.

money during the summer to pay for everything. Strikes in the lumber and fishing industries may mean the difference between returning to University or taking a year out to accumulate a “stake.”

Some old faces will be gone from the campus too. Dean Dorothy Mawdsley has been replaced by Mrs. Helen McCrae of the school of social work, and one of the world’s leading electrical engineers, Professor David Myers, will arrive from Australia in December to replace Dean Henry Gunning, now a consulting engineer in Africa. Professor John Deutsch, head of the department of economics and political science, will be gone too. He has accepted the post of vice-principal at his

old alma mater, Queen’s University, and his successor has yet to be named. In mediclne Dean John F. McCreary has succeeded Dr. John Patterson and Dr. A. D. McKenzie has been named head of the department of surgery to replace Dr. Kocke Robertson, who was acting as dean of the medical school.

IJndergraduates will also be able to enrol for the degree of bachelor of music. The new music school, headed by Pro- fessor G. Welton Marquis, will not only offer the new degree but provide courses leading to an honours degree for the bachelor of arts and a major for the bachelor of education.

More than SO new courses will be added to the music curriculum in the next four years and four full-time and one part-time teacher will join the staff of the school this year.

The music department will eventually be housed in the new fine arts centre, to cost $ I SO0.OOO. To be constructed opposite the faculty club, the centre will incorporate a large rehearsal hall, numerous practice rooms and teaching studios.

The only other major change in the program of a department is in the school of .architecture. In future fledgling archi- tecrs will study for a minimum of three years in arts and science followed by three years in the architecture school. In the past students have taken one year in arts and science followed by five years in architecture.

Other new facets of campus life will be the appearance of two magazines de- voted to furthering Canadian and B.C. writing. The University’s first official publication, entitled Canadian Literature: A Quarterly of Criticism and Review has already made its appearance. Edited by George Woodcock, an assistant professor in the U.B.C. English department, th- journal is to keep readers informed of developments in Canadian literature, review all new books by Canadians and about Canada and discuss Canadian writers and writing.

The second journal, entitled Prism, has also made its appearance. Edited by Jan de Bruyn, also an assistant professor in Ihe English department, it will publish fiction, drama, poetry and essays. Em- phasizing B.C. writing Prism will be the

only Canadian magazine to publish plays. Both quarterlies will sell for $3 a year.

ADVANCED TRAINING Another exciting project centered at

U.B.C. is the regional training centre for United Nation5 Fellows, which supzr- vises fellows and scholars assigned to it under the U.N.‘s technical assistance program. Headed by a dynamic political scientist from the University of Cali- fornia, Dr. Albert Lepawsky, the centre organizes training programs for officials from developing countries who will benefit from advanced training in business and industry in the western half of North America. B.C. was chosen as the site of the centre because of the population and economic expansion in the west during the past 50 years.

In the world of sports U.B.C. has now officially withdrawn from the Evergreen Conference and enters into full scale competition with Western Canadian Uni- versities. The football season opens on September 26 when the Thunderbirds meet Saskatchewan on the prairies.

THE PRESIDENT An extensive review of the history of

U.B.C. is contained in the annual report of President N. A. M. MacKenzie for 1958. the year in which U.B.C. marked its golden jubilee.

The president’s report, issued in Au- gust. contains numerous tables showing the country of citizenship, religious af- filiations, and geographical distribution of students who attended U.B.C. during the 1957-58 session. There is also a large section of photographs, many never before published, showing early views of the campus.

U.B.C.’s history is in some ways a record of perpetual frustration and we have never had enough staff, buildings, money and facilities of any kind, the president says.

“But there is another way of looking at our history,” President MacKenzie continues. “The public has always responded. We have always needed more staff and more buildings because we have always had the one surplus that is desirable-a greater demand for education than our facilities could cope with.

“Since we are proud of what we offer and since we think it good for the community to have as many of our graduates as possible, we must sometimes rejoice that we have had almost an embarrass- ment of students.”

The president continues: “The history of the University runs parallel, in many respects. to that of the province. As a state institution it depends mainly upon the public treasury for financial support.

“It has prospered with the prosperity of the province. It has also felt the pinch of hard times; even to the point of threat- ened extinction. But throughout its half century of life, whether in adversity or

prosperity, it has always had the de- voted support of leading citizens, many of whom have served on its governing bodies.”

435 REGISTERED U.B.C. opened in 1915, the president

points out. with a registration of 435 and offered courses leading to a bachelor of arts degree and the first three years of the bachelor of applied science degree.

In 1958, with just under 10,000 students full undergraduate work is offered for 15 degrees in nine faculties. In addition seven degrees are offered in the faculty of graduate studies and Ph.D. work in 24 separate fields of study.

“My very brief history can have no tidy conclusion,” the president says. “Neat summaries of the history of an institution can be made only when it is 5tatic”or dead. The University of British Columbia is very much alive and I hope it will continue to develop as it has done in the past.”

EXPEDITIONS A University of British Columbia

xientist led an international team of geophysicists on a study of the Atha- baska glacier on the B.C.-Alberta border from June I5 to September 5.

The National Research Council con- tributed a total of $16,500 toward the cost of the expedition. The team used equipment purchased with previous N.R.C. grants.

Leading the expedition was J. S. Stacey, a graduate student in geophysics and a former member of the U.B.C. faculty. Other U.B.C. faculty members on the expedition were J. A. Savage of the department of physics and Prof. W. H. Mathews, of the department of geology.

Other members of the expedition were G. D. Garland, professor of geophysics at the University of Alberta and J . R. Wait, of the National Bureau of Stan- dards, Boulder, Colorado. Balance of the expedition was made up of Canadian and American students.

The scientists studied the movement of the glacier, the rate a t which it is re- ceding and its effect on the weather. They also undertook deep drilling, gravity and magnetic studies as well as depth determination by electromagnetic studies.

PUBLICATIONS A total of 524 papers were published

by 337 faculty members at the Univer- sity of B.C. during the year ending August 31.

A fifty-page bibliography of faculty publications has been published by the University’s editorial committee. Basic work of preparation was done by the staff of the library’s reference division and assistant librarian Anne Smith.

BILL BALLENTZNE . . . directs series

GRANTS Vancouver radio station CKWX has

made a grant of $6000 to U.B.C. to develop and broadcast a series of experimental radio programs.

The communications division of the U.B.C. extension department, headed by Alan Thomas, will produce the series over a period of eight months beginning in September in cooperation with CKWX.

Arrangements for the grant to U.B.C. were made by the late F. H. Elphicke, former manager of CKWX. The Leon and Thea Koerner Foundation has also made a grant to the extension department to support the series.

Active planning of the programs, which will explore the character of modern city life, has begun under the direction of Bill Ballentine, a U.B.C. graduate and former president of the U.B.C. radio society.

The series will include documentaries, music programs, round table discussions and reports of current and civic affairs. News and reviews of Vancouver theatre, radio and television productions will be included as well as book reviews.

Original creative material by Van- couver authors, composers and artists will also be broadcast. New techniques for reporting civic affairs and presenting cultural activities will be explored, Mr. Thomas said.

A number of correspondents, many of them U.B.C. graduates, currently living in overseas centres, have agreed to act as correspondents for the series and to send taped documentary reports for broadcast.

Mr. Thomas said program directors would attempt to build a continuous relationship with the audience by en- couraging suggestions for programs. “We also hope to set up a board of advisers representing political, religious, business a n d professional organizations,” he added.

THE AGE OF FLIGHT

I t is understood (and by some very understanding types) that next Home- coming will see a most welcome and logical innovation. Although the Uni- versity has by now graduated whole squadrons of top-flight executives, few of us have had the pleasure of seing them actually fly. An air show has therefore been arranged, during which seven top-flight executives will be launched into the air from a special pad. Their graceful and often intrepid swoops will delight and terrify the more bottom-flight members of the crowd.

Should anything go wrong (a hope not entirely absent from the mass bosom of any group of spectators) and one of the Top-flight Executives’ Aerobatic Drill Team finds himself permanently in orbit around the planet, he may rest assured that although he can ill be spared, he will be marking up yet another First for his Alma Mater and he will shed lustre on us all.

Long and favourably known for her brilliant book, “What Shakes- peare Really Meant to Say,” Miss Fieldmouse has now printed her third article in the Mount Erebus Quar- terly (thus winning a bronze pin). Perhaps the most brilliant conjecture in the whole brilliant essay concerns the song ‘When daisies pied . . .” from “Love’s Labour Lost.” You will recall that Shakespeare is alleged to have written in Stanza 3: “When blood is nipt, and waies be

Then nightly sings the staring Owle Tu-whit to-who.

A merrie note, While greasie Ione doth keele the

Miss Fieldmouse demonstrates that the last line of this stanza (repeated in the fourth and final stanza) is entirely too feeble, both in meaning and in rhyme, to round out even so trivial a ditty when composed by a master. She therefore concludes that the true ver- sion was probably “While greasy Joan doth kill the pote”, “pote” being undoubtedly a Warwickshire corruption of “poet.” Whether greasy Joan killed her poet by means of cookery, dis- gust, lack of sympathy, or “bold bawdry and open manslaughter” is a

pot.”

problem which Shakespeare and Miss Fieldmouse leave us to determine for ourselves.

But as anyone can tell, a poet is much more at the mercy of such a companion in winter time than when he can escape into the fields with “Dasies pied and Violets blew,” and such a fact could hardly escape Shakespeare’s keen eye for the effects of climate upon human geography. Also, as Miss Fieldmouse does well to remind us, he was a poet himself and must have known a good deal about the occupational hazards in- volved. Lots of luck, Dorothy.

FRESH HOPE MOOTED Authorities as far apart as Walter

Reuther of Detroit and Professor Norbert Wiener of M.I.T. are agreed that automation (or, more correctly, automatisation) causes an atrophy in the creative desires of man. Dr. Wiener goes so far as to say that “whea you degrade the skilled worker to a machine hand, not only are you making a change in efficiency for the particular job, but you can to a considerable extent destroy him as a human being.”

With this danger in mind, the Uni- versity of Central Carolina has established a School of Automation Atro- phy Therapy. Because of their new- found leisure, the workers will be able to spend several days a week at the School of A.A.T., gratifying their creative urges by means of leather work, bead work, shell work, sheet- copper work, and coffee-table kits. Fretwork has been banned from the curriculum because of the unpleasant connotations of the word “fret.” This precaution was taken on the advice of the Verbal Menace Joint Board of the departments of English and Psy- chology.

WELL-BALANCED M A N According to Dr. Tuxford Mayhap,

Professor of Erotic Equilibrium at the University of the Deep South, the boy and girl who “go steady from the ages of (say) 11 to (say) 19 are apt to feel fickle, lazy, and a failure if they do not crown their eight years of social renunciation a deux with at least a year or two of legal matrimony. On the other hand, though they are less aware of this, the success of such a marriage is a remote chance indeed.

Dr. Mayhap feels the way out of this dilemma is to establish a fashion of going steady in triangles, or even in quadrangles and pentagons, rather than in straight pairs. “I see great things for poly-steadies,’’ he declared hopefully.

Be Objective. . . In our opinion, investment should be objective. It should have a purpose and once the purpose is clearly defined, then securities can be selected to accomplish that purpose.

If you want to gamble, good luck to you, but . . . you should be prepared to lose and surprised to win. Go in with your eyes wide open.

If you want to speculate . . . then take a calculated risk. Know why your selected securities should be worth more, calculate how much more, and in roughly what period of time. Plan your future action in the event that you are right . . . and also in the event that you are wrong.

If you want income . . . design a fund for income. If you want long-term growth and are willing to take the risks . . . design a fund for long-term growth.

If you want a balanced h n d to take care of contingencies and provide a chance for reasonable income and growth . . . then design your fund that way.

Plan your investment fund to accomplish your purpose . . . be objective in what you do.

Planning programmes and helping investors be objective is part of our job. Perhaps we can help you.

DEAN HELEN McCRAE

U. B.C. APPOINTS DEANS OF WOMEN, ENGINEERING

Appointments to two major U.B.C. posts have been announced by Presi- dent N. A. M. MacKenzie.

On January 1, 1960, Professor David M. Myers, head of the department of electrical engineering at the University of Sydney, in Sydney, Aus- tralia, will become head of the faculty of applied science. H e succeeds Dean Henry C. Gunning, who resigned last year to become a consulting engineer for the Anglo-Ameri- can Corporation in Africa.

In mid-July President MacKenzie announced the appointment of Mrs. Helen McCrae, associate professor in the school of social work, as dean of women to succeed Miss Dorothy Mawdsley who retired this year.

Dr. Myers, whose research interest is in the field of electrical computing, has been P. N. Russell professor of electrical engineering at Sydney since 1949. He has been responsible for the development of several computers of an advanced type.

Professor Myers was educated in Australia and England and in 1939, at the age of 28, undertook the establishment of the electrotechnology division of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research, one of the

three components of the Australian National Standards Laboratory.

He headed this division until 1949 when he joined the University of Sydney. He has travelled extensively in Canada and the U.S. on behalf of the government of Australia and the University of Sydney.

Mrs. McCrae is no stranger to the University. She joined the school of social work in 1950 as director of field work and lecturor in case work. She is also a graduate of the Univer- sity, having obtained her master of social work degree here in 1949.

Mrs. McCrae is also a graduate of the University of Toronto and the Ontari(o College of Education. She began her teaching career in Lindsay, Ontario where, in 1937, she married Charles H. McCrae. After his death in 194.2, she came to B.C. and enrolled in the school of social work.

After receiving her master’s degree at U.EI.C. Mrs. McCrae did further graduate work in New York and at Smith College. Six years ago, at the request of the United Nations, she went to Sweden where she served as a consultant on child welfare and case work.

ber 14, 1959 between the champions of the Ontario-Quebec Athletic Association and the Western Canadian Intercollegiate Athletic Union. The proceeds of the game will be directed to the National Conference of Canadian Universities and Colleges to supplement their scholarship funds. The Toronto Star Weekly has agreed to support and publicize this game in its first year in order that another Canadian spectacle may be developed.

Frank Gnup's "Thunderbirds" will be going all out to win the right to represent the West, but will have to turn back the Universities of Saskatchewan and Al- berta. The prairie universities have returned to football competition with enthusiasm and are determined to beat out the more experienced U.B.C. squad in their scheduled league games. Alberta will play one game at U.B.C. stadium on October 3 , while Saskatchewan will be here for Homecoming on November 7. The 'Birds will play each of the other universities once on their home grounds.

Fall training opens on September 5 at U.B.C. and coach Gnup expects to welcome the largest football turnout in U.B.C.'s history.

This season we will be playing an ex- hibition schedule of four American football games against the Evergreen Con- ference schools-Pacific Lutheran, Whi?- worth. Western and Eastern. Gnup has to prepare his players to switch from the Canadian to the American code on alter- nate week-ends, which will not be an easy task. However, Western Conference 1-ules now include unlimited blocking on all plays except pass interceptions and punt returns, similar to the rules under which the Churchill Cup Games have been played.

ATHLETIC CARDS This year the Men's Athletic Com-

mittee is offering a new type of athletic card to alumni which we feel is excep- tionally good value, and which we hope our athletically-minded alumni will be interested in. U.B.C. athletic teams will be competing against the prairie universities, and we are looking forward to some excellent games. Naturally the players perform better when there is a good crowd, and the revenue from athletic cards and gate receipts helps us provide a better athletic program.

There are two types of athletic cards: 1-Athletic Card for Purchaser and

Guest-$12.00. May be used for all U.B.C. sponsored athletic events. I t will admit the holder and guest to the re- served section in the covered stands for all home football games. There are many attractive basketball and rugby games, gymnastic and swimming meets as well. The California rugby games and the Hamber Cup ice hockey series are included.

2-Athletic Card for purchaser only- $7.50. Admits one person, with all the privileges as outlined above.

C A N A

LBE stands for “Live Better . . . Electrically”, and these words have a very real meaning behind them.

In the home, for example, planned lighting brings new charm and cheerfulness to every room. Modern appliances In the kitchen and laundry save time and toil. Other appliances contribute to our leisure and entertainment. Automatic heating and air conditioning add to our comfort. There probably isn’t an area in your home that cannot be equipped electrically to give more convenience, more comfort, and more service.

In home, office or factory the first essential is an up-to-date wiring system - to get the best results from the electrical products now in use, and provide for those you expect to acquire. Your local power company, your provincial Electric Service League, or any qualified electrical conmctor will be glad to provide expert advice and help you to plan to “Live Better . . .
