News  and  Comments 


NEW  PROVOST  AT 
TRINITY 


Rev  Dr  Charles  Allen 
Seager,  B.A.  (T.)  '95, 
M.A.  '97,  has  accept- 
ed the  post  of  provost  and  vice-chancellor 
of  Trinity  College  to  which  he  was  elected 
by  unanimous  vote  of  the  Corporation. 
He  took  up  his  new  duties  at  the  beginning 
of  October. 

Dr  Seager  was  ordained  by  the  Arch- 
bishop of  Toronto  twenty-five  years  ago 
and  until  1911  was  rector  of  St.  Cyprian's 
Church,  Toronto,  and  rector  of  St. 
Matthew's  Church  since  1917.  He  guided 
the  destinies  of  St.  Mark's  Hall,  Vancouver, 
for  some  years  with  great  success,  was 
appointed  a  member  of  the  Church  of 
England  War  Service  Commission,  and  has 
served  on  many  important  commissions  of 
the  diocese  of  Toronto.  He  is  much  inter- 
ested in  social  service  and  educational  work 
and  is  a  theologian  of  exceptional  ability. 
These  merits,  together  with  his  recognized 
broadminded  sympathy  with  every  form 
of  human  activity  will  combine  to  make 
him  a  very  able  head  of  Trinity  College. 


DR  STARR 
APPOINTED 
TO  CHAIR  OF 
SURGERY 


Dr  Clarence  L.  Starr, 
'90,  has  been  ap- 
pointed to  the  Chair 
of  Surgery  to  succeed 
Mr  I.  H.  Cameron. 
Dr  Starr  is  one  of  the  outstanding  surgeons 
of  the  Dominion.  For  many  years  he  has 
been  head  of  the  Surgical  staff  at  the 
Hospital  for  Sick  Children.  He  served 
overseas  from  1916  to  1918,  first  as  head 
of  the  Surgical  Staff  at  Orpington  Hospital 
and  later  as  officer  commanding  the 
Canadian  Orthopaedic  Hospital  at  Rams- 
gate. 


Professor  J.  W.  Brid- 
ges, of  the  University 
of  Ohio,  has  been  ap- 
pointed assistant  pro- 
fessor in  the  Depart- 
ment of  Psychology.

New  Professor  of  Surgery 


UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO  MONTHLY 


Dn.  .    nF  The   final   edition  of 

ocm/i or  the  Roll  of  Service  has 

PUBL  SHED  been    Punished    and 

may    be   secured    on 

application  to  Mr  R.  J.  Hamilton,  Manager 
of  the  University  Press.  The  price  in  paper 
binding  is  fifty  cents  to  ex-service  men  and 
seventy-five  cents  to  others.  For  cloth- 
bound  copies  there. is  an  additional  charge 
of  twenty-five  cents  in  each  case. 

The  volume  contains  the  names  of  all 
graduates,  undergraduates,  and  former 
students,  of  whose  active  service  during 
the  war,  information  was  received  at  the 
University.  A  brief  personal  history  is 
given  of  those  who  laid  down  their  lives, 
and  the  details  of  service  of  the  others. 
The  work  of  compilation  has  been  ad- 
mirably done  and  great  credit  is  due, the 
editor,  Professor  G.  O.  Smith.  A  worthy 
record  of  the  war  services  of  the  graduates 
and  undergraduates  of  the  University,  it  is 
probably  one  of  the  best  of  its  kind  in 
existence. 


NEW  WARDEN 

AT 

HART  HOUSE 


On  September  15,  the 
retiring  warden  of 
Hart  House,  Walter 
F  Bowles,  handed 
over  the  keys  of  the  institution  to  J.  Burgon 
Bickersteth,  the  new  warden.  Mr  Bicker- 
steth  is  an  Englishman  by  birth,  a  son  of 
Dr  Bickersteth,  the  Canon  of  Canterbury, 
but  declares  himself  a  Canadian  by  adop- 
tion. He  was  educated  at  Charterhouse 
and  Christ  Church,  Oxford,  and  came  to 
Canada  eleven  years  ago.  Since  then  he 
has  published  a  book  on  his  experiences  in 
the  far  northwest  under  the  title  of  The 
Land  of  Open  Doors.  In  1913  he  took  up 
graduate  work  in  the  University  of  Sor- 
bonne,  France,  and  at  the  outbreak  of 
war  enlisted  in  the  Royal  Dragoons. 
During  his  four  years  in  France  he  earned 
the  Military  Cross  and  Bar  and  has 
written  a  history  of  the  6th  Cavalry 
Brigade  to  which  Lord  Haig  contributed 
a  foreword. 

For  the  last  two  years  Mr  Bickersteth 
has  been  a  member  of  the  staff  of  the 
University  of  Alberta,  but  he  has  spent 
the  summer  in  England.  He  is  very  much 
interested  in  athletics,  particularly  in  asso- 
ciation football,  and  is  outspoken  in  his 
appreciation  of  Hart  House. 


THE(UmVERS,TY 

LAM  IDII    AI     I  HE          TV-,-    ,.         IT-   v't_',' 
Q  jsj  £  JNational     Exhibition 

this  year  constituted 

a  unique  and  interesting  departure  from  the 
ordinary  activities  of  the  University. 

It  was  a  step  in  the  right  direction,  a 
move  toward  bringing  the  University  into 
closer  contact  with  the  people  of  the  Pro- 
vince. Of  the  many  hundreds  of  thousands 
who  saw  the  exhibit  there  must  have  been 
a  very  great  number  who  received  there, 
their  first  direct  information  of  the  work  of 
the  University. 

A  graduate  said,  "This  is  a  great  idea. 
The  University  might  well  have  a  building 
of  its  own.  It  has  a  hundred  things  of 
interest  to  show.  And  why  should  not 
lectures  be  given  here  by  members  of  the 
staff  on  subjects  of  interest  to  the  general 
public.  There  must  be  thousands  of  people 
come  here  every  year  who  would  be  only  too 
glad  to  hear  educational  addresses  of  this 
kind." 

Other  graduates  will  agree  and  hope  that 
from  this  year's  excellent  start,  great  things 
may  result. 


THE  SUMMER 
SESSION 


At  the  regular  Com- 
mencement in  June, 
the  first  graduates 
under  the  University  Extension  Course  for 
teachers — eleven  in  all — received  degrees. 

The  work  in  this  course  is  done  by  means 
of  correspondence  courses  for  out  of  town 
students,  and  late  afternoon  lectures  for 
those  resident  in  the  city,  during  the  term 
and  by  summer  sessions.  This  year  the 
attendance  at  the  summer  session  was  the 
highest  on  record,  there  being  eighty-nine 
enrolled  in  the  Arts  Course  and  seventy- 
two  in  Pedagogy.  x 

As  the  arrangement  under  which  teachers 
may  secure  a  University  degree  without 
giving  up  their  teaching  positions  becomes 
better  known,  the  attendance  at  these 
Extension  courses  is  bound  to  increase. 


In  the  year  which  has 
passed  since  Mr 
Dunlop  assumed  the 
position  of  director  of 
University  Extension,  many  changes  and 
expansions  have  been  introduced  into  the 
department.  The  second  week  of  Sep- 


THE  SHORT 
COURSE  FOR 
JOURNALISTS 


UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO  MONTHLY 


tember  saw  another  innovation  in  the  form 
of  a  short  course  for  journalists,  intended 
primarily  for  the  editors  of  country  week- 
lies. The  course  lasted  from  September  5 
until  September  17  and  was  attended  by 
128  newspaper  men  and  women  including 
a  large  number  of  editors.  Lectures  in 
editorial  writing  and  newsgathering  were 
given  by  J.  E.  Atkinson  and  John  R.  Bone 
of  the  Toronto  Daily  Star,  and  J.  C.  Ross 
of  the  Farmers  Sun.  Professor  Alexander 
gave  lectures  on  English  Composition, 
Professor  Wrong  on  Constitutional  His- 
tory, Dr  J.  G.  Fitzgerald,  Dr  J.  S.  Middle- 
ton,  and  Dr  G.  O.  Porter  on  Public  Health 
and  Hygiene,  and  J.  R.  Clute  on  Newspaper 
Jurisprudence. 

The  course  was  accounted  a  success  in 
every  way  and  it  is  probable  that  it  will 
become  annual. 


THE  LATE 
DR  GRANGE 


Dr  E.  A.  A.  Grange, 
former    principal    of 
^^  the    Ontario    Veteri- 

nary College,  died  at  his  home  in  Toronto, 
July  25,  at  the  age  of  seventy-three  years. 
Dr  Grange  graduated  from  the  Ontario 
Veterinary  College  in  1873.  He  was  a 
lecturer  in  the  College  from  1873  until  1882 
when  he  accepted  the  position  of  professor 
of  Veterinary  Science  at  the  Michigan 
Agricultural  College.  In  1871  he  was 
appointed  principal  of  the  Detroit  Veteri- 
nary College,  and  from  1899  until  1908 
conducted  Veterinary  research  work  in 
New  York  state.  He  was  then  appointed 
principal  of  the  Ontario  Veterinary  College, 
which  position  he  held  until  1919  when  he 
retired.

necessary.  Joe  Breen,  "Red"  MacKenzie, 
Wallace,  Earle,  and  others  of  last  year's 
team  have  left  college,  and  "Laddie" 
Cassells  has  found  himself  unable  to  coach 
the  team  this  year.  Dr  Jack  Maynard  is 
the  new  coach  and  he  is  trying  to  whip 
into  shape  the  old  players  who  have 
returned  and  to  inject  some  wholesome 


UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO  MONTHLY 


"pep"  and  Varsity  spirit  into  the  new 
recruits.  The  old  players  who  form  the 
nucleus  of  this  year's  team  include  Duncan, 
captain;  Fisher  and  Ernie  Rolph,  outside, 
wings;  Snyder,  Hugh  Ketcheson  and  Joe 
Taylor,  half-backs;  Murray  and  Harry 
Hobbs,  quarters;  N.  W.  Taylor,  line;  Hyde, 
and  Westman,  inside  wing;  and  Dick 
Weaver,  centre  scrim. 

The  season  opened  with  the  Old  Boys 

game  on  October  1.     Dr  Smirlie  Lawson 

captained  the  team  and  those  who  played 

included  Hume  Crawford,  R.  D.  Huestis, 

Dr  J.  W.  McKenzie,  Wesley  F.  Maunders, 

"Red"  MacKenzie,  D.  H.  Storms,  Frank

The  Fayolle  Mission,  appointed  by  the 
French  Government  to  convey  to  Canada 
the  thanks  of  the  French  nation  for  our 
participation  in  the  war,  spent  July  1  in 
Toronto.  The  delegation  contained  some 
forty  persons,  ladies  and  gentlemen,  who 
represented  the  great  departments  of  the 
national  activities  of  France,  the  army,  the 
navy,  the  Chamber  of  Deputies  and  the 
Senate,  the  University,  the  Fine  Arts,  the 
Red  Cross,  etc.,  etc. 

The  Mission  was  entertained  by  the 
Mayor  of  Toronto,  and  the  Ontario  Govern- 
ment, but  unfortunately,  the  shortness  of 
the  visit  and  the  fact  that  it  fell  on  a  public 
holiday  during  the  long  vacation,  made  it 
impossible  for  the  University  to  participate 
in  the  affair,  which  was  a  matter  of  deep 
regret  to  the  Mission.  A  very  sad  occur- 
rence marked  the  return  journey,  in  the 
death  of  Professor  Lippmann,  a  distin- 
guished physicist  of  the  University  of  Paris, 
who  died  on  shipboard  shortly  before  the 
arrival  in  France. 


A  re-organization  of  the  pedagogical 
department  of  Laval  University,  Quebec, 
has  taken  place,  by  the  establishment  of 
the  Ecole  Normale  Superieure  in  the  autumn 
of  1920.  There  is  to  be  a  very  close  con- 


nection between  this  Ecole  and  the  graduate 
school  of  the  Faculty  of  Arts,  inasmuch  as 
many  of  the  courses  will  be  the  same  for 
both.  The  regular  time  required  for  pre- 
paration for  the  licence  will  be  two  years, 
but  it  may  be  reduced  to  one  year  for  those 
who  have  already  done  a  sufficient  amount 
of  advanced  work.  Evidently  much  more 
weight  is  to  be  laid  on  learning  than  on 
mere  pedagogy.  The  Head  of  the  Ecole  will 
be  Mgr  F.  Pelletier,  formerly  Recteur  of 
Laval,  whose  place  as  Recteur  will  be  taken 
by  Rev  Abbe  Gariepy  of  the  Faculty  of 
Theology. 

In  April  of  this  year  appeared  the  first 
number  of  the  new  Dalhousie  Review. 
What  the  new  quarterly  has  in  mind  is  the 
need  of  the  public  that  is  "concerned  about 
the  things  of  the  intellect  and  the  spirit, 
which  desires  to  be  addressed  on  problems 
of  general  import".  This  is  a  worthy  aim 
and  it  is  to  be  hoped  that  the  enterprise 
will  meet  with  hearty  support,  not  only 
in  the  Maritime  Provinces,  but  also  in  other 
parts  of  Canada.  We  note  in  the  first 
number  an  excellent  article  on  the  poetry 
of  George  Meredith  by  Dr  W.  T.  Herridge 
(U.  '80),  and  another  in  the  second  number 
(July)  in  memory  of  Scott  by  Professor 
Archibald  MacMechan  (U.  '84). 

During  the  second  week  of  August  the 
campus  was  visited  by  the  Imperial  Con- 
ference of  the  Teachers  Association,  the 
majority  of  the  meetings  being  held  in 
Convocation  Hall.  Teachers  were  present 
from  all  parts  of  the  Empire. 

On  August  13  at  a  special  Convocation, 
the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Laws,  honoris  causa 
was  conferred  on  Sir  Harry  Reichel,  Vice- 
Chancellor  of  the  University  of  Wales; 
M.  J.  Randall,  Headmaster  of  Winchester 
College;  B.  J.  Allen,  Deputy  Education 
Officer  of  London  County  Council;  and 
Professor  Rev.  A.  Moffatt,  of  Madras 
Christian  College,  India. 

Rev  F.  H.  Cosgrave,  professor  of  Hebrew 
at  Trinity  College,  has  gone  to  England  to 
undertake  special  work  for  the  College.  He 
will  make  a  study  of  the  special  problems 
connected  with  theological  training  which 
have  risen  out  of  the  war. 


G.  Oswald  Smith,  associate  professor  of 
Latin,  has  been  appointed  registrar  of 
University  College  to  succeed  Professor  F.

Succession  Duties  and  University  Finance 


I  AM  asked  why  the  so-called  share  in  the 
Succession  Duties  is  considered  to  be 
the  best  available  plan  of  finance  for 
the  University. 

When  the  writer  first  took  charge  of  the 
finances  of  the  University  it  received  no 
financial  aid  from  the  Government  and 
when  after  a  long  and  weary  struggle,  the 
first  aid  was  given,  it  was  upon  the  theory 
that  the  Government  could  not  yet  under- 
take to  regularly  support  the  University, 
and  ingenious  reasons  for  any  grants  of 
money  were  afforded,  always  calculated  to 
deny  the  admission  of  the  principle  of 
support.  On  the  other  hand  we  were, 
whenever  opportunity  occurred,  demanding 
that  the  relation  of  the  Province  to  its 
University  be  recognized  similarly  to  that 
of  the  many  state  universities  in  the  United 
States.  Now  the  usual  form  of  state  aid  is 
by  a  tax  levied  directly  for  the  university 
upon  the  people,  collected  by  the  state 
treasurer  and  handed  by  him  to  the  univer- 
sity. (See  University  Commission,  1906, 
p.  LVI).  This  has  two  great  advantages 
so  far  as  the  state  university  is  concerned. 
First:  The  sum  thus  raised  by  taxation 
does  not  become  a  part  of  the  revenues  of 
the  state  which  the  government  have  the 
power  to  spend,  and  is  therefore  of  no 
interest  to  the  state  government  apart 
from  its  goodwill  towards  the  university. 
Second:  The  sum  thus  raised  is  bound  to 
increase  in  due  relation  to  the  increase  in 
the  assessed  values  of  the  property  owned 
by  the  people.  At  this  point  I  wish  par- 
ticularly to  urge  that  it  is  a  fair  presump- 
tion that  there  will  be  a  reasonable  relation 
between  the  growth  of  the  state  university 
with  its  financial  needs  and  this  growth  of 
the  wealth  of  the  people,  and  the  annual 
incomes  from  this  source  and  the  increase 
in  the  needs  of  the  various  state  universities 
bear  this  out. 

This  being  our  opinion  we  urged  repeat- 
edly upon  the  Governments  of  Mr  Hardy 
and  Sir  George  Ross  that  a  direct  tax  be 
levied  for  the  benefit  of  the  University.  It 
was  urged  in  reply  that  the  people  would 
not  stand  a  direct  tax.  We  begged  the 
Government  to  levy  the  tax,  calling  it,  if 
they  chose,  the  University  tax,  and  we 
undertook  to  stand  or  fall  by  the  result, 
feeling  assured  that  we  could  by  a  cam- 
paign show  that  the  people  of  Ontario  did 
desire  to  support  their  University.  Need- 


less to  say  we  failed  to  have  the  opportunity 
because  we  were  always  met  by  this  fear  of 
direct  taxation. 

When  we  found  that  we  could  not  obtain 
help  by  a  direct  tax  we  sought  some  form 
of  aid  which  would  probably  grow  in  fair 
proportion  to  the  needs  of  the  University, 
and  the  Succession  Duties  was  the  only 
form  of  government  revenue  which  gave 
this  assurance.  The  Government  of  Sir 
George  Ross,  to  whom  such  proposals  were 
first  made,  however,  refused  to  consider 
giving  us  aid  in  this  manner,  but  for  reasons 
which  while  very  interesting  historically, 
need  not  be  entered  upon  here,  we  were 
aided  for  a  few  years  by  the  payment  of 
our  annual  deficits  by  special  grants  from 
the  Government. 

Aid  in  this  form  meant  that  when  the 
necessity  arose  for  any  new  expenditure, 
caused  by  the  growth  of  the  University, 
we  were  met  by  the  fact  that  we  had  no 
money  with  which  to  make  it  and  could 
not  be  sure  that  the  Government  would 
grant  it.  Planning  adequately  for  the 
future  of  a  great  university  under  such 
conditions  was  impossible  and  the  history 
of  the  University  at  this  time  is  the  best 
evidence  of  this. 

When  the  Royal  Commission  on  the 
University  sat  in  1906  the  financial  support 
of  the  University  naturally  gave  them 
much  thought,  and  that  section  of  the 
Report  should  be  read  by  anyone  interested 
in  this  article.  I  shall  give  here  but  one 
short  extract: 

"In  determining  the  question  of  income,  the 
amount  and  the  method  of  providing  it  are  both  of 
moment.  We  believe  that  some  means  of  fixing 
.  the  income  upon  a  definite  basis  should  be  found. 
It  has  been  proposed  that  a  certain  percentage  of 
some  item  of  the  Provincial  revenue  should  be 
allotted  to  the  University,  and  that  the  sum  that 
this  percentage  yielded  from  year  to  year  would 
form  the  amount  to  be  voted  annually  by  the  Legis- 
lature. It  must  be  borne  in  mind  that  the  financial 
needs  of  the  University  will  grow  greater  from  year 
to  year  both  because  of  the  increase  of  the  popula- 
tion of  Ontario  and  the  growth  of  knowledge  in  the 
world  at  large.  The  item  of  Provincial  revenue, 
therefore,  from  which  that  portion  of  tHfe  income 
furnished  by  the  state  is  to  come,  must  also  be  one 
which  will  grow  greater  from  year  to  year  in  at  least 
as  large  a  ratio  as  that  of  the  increase  in  population. 
For  this  purpose  the  revenue  from  succession  duties 
has  been  suggested.  It  is  true  that  this  is  a  tax 


10 


UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO  MONTHLY 


which  has  aroused  much  opposition  and  which  may 
be  subject  to  change  in  the  future,  but  it  has  been 
selected  because  it  is  at  present  a  tax  which  grows 
in  some  relation  to  the  growth  of  the  Province  and 
therefore  to  the  growth  of  the  University  require- 
ments. The  Provincial  revenue  from  this  source 
during  the  past  six  years  has  been  as  follows: 

.       1900 $228,360 

1901 376,661 

1902 236,169 

1903 386,948 

1904 458,699 

1905 684,143 

or  an  average  for  the  six  years  of  $395,163.  As  this 
particular  source  of  revenue  is  supposed  to  be 
allocated  under  the  Act  to  the  discharge  of  certain 
Provincial  expenditures,  we  have  thought  that  the 
University  income  might  be  fixed  by  statute  at  a 
sum  equal  to  a  certain  percentage  of  the  revenue 
from  succession  duties.  In  order  that  this  system 
might  not  introduce  an  element  of  inconvenient 
fluctuation,  seeing  that  the  revenue  from  succession 
duties  varies  considerably  from  year  to  year,  we 
recommend  that  the  percentage  be  calculated  upon 
the  average  of  three  years'  receipts.  We  believe 
that  the  income  under  this  system  or  any  other  that 
may  be  selected  ought  not  to  be  less  than  $275,000 
at  the  inception." 

In  the  University  Act  which  was  passed 
after  the  reception  of  the  report  of  the 
Commission  the  aid  asked  for  was  granted, 
as  follows: 

(1)  For  the  purpose  of  making  provision  for  the 
maintenance  and  support  of  the  University  and  of 
University  College,  there  shall  be  paid  to  the  Board 
out  of  the  Consolidated  Revenue  of  the  Province 
yearly  and  every  year  a  sum  equal  to  fifty  per 
centum  of  the  average  yearly  gross  receipts  of  the 
Province  from  succession  duties. 

(2)  The  said  annual  sums  shall  be  paid  in  equal 
half-yearly  instalments  on  the  first  day  of  July  and 
the  first  day  of  January  in  each  year,  the  first  of 
which  shall  be  paid  on  the  first  day  of  July  next,  and 
the  average  yearly  gross  receipts  of  the  Province 
from  succession  duties  shall  be  determined  by  and 
be  based  upon  the  gross  receipts  from  such  duties 
of  the  three  years  ended  on  the  31st  day  of  December 
next  preceding  the  day  on  which  the  first  instalment 
of  the  year  is  to  be  paid. 

(3)  If  in  any  year  the  amount  which  shall  be 
payable  to  the  Board  under  the  provisions  of  sub- 
sections 1  and  2  shall  exceed  the  amount  of  the 
estimated    expenditure    for   the    maintenance   and 
support  of  the  University  and  of  University  College 
for  the  academic  year  in  respect  of  which  such  sum 
is  payable,  it  shall  be  lawful  for  the  Lieutenant- 
Governor  in  Council  to  direct  that  the  excess  shall 


be  added  to  the  permanent  endowment  of  the  Uni- 
versity and  University  College,  or  that  the  same 
shall  be  set  apart  by  the  Board  as  a  contingent  fund 
to  provide  for  the  event  of  the  amount  which  shall 
be  payable  to  the  Board  as  aforesaid  being  in  any 
future  year  or  years  insufficient  to  defray  the  cost 
of  such  maintenance  and  support  as  aforesaid;  or 
that  the  same  be  applied  in  expenditures  on  capital 
account;  or  that  such  excess  shall  be  applied  or 
dealt  with  wholly  or  in  part  in  each  or  any  or  either 
of  the  said  ways,  and  to  direct  if  it  shall  be  deemed 
proper  to  do  so,  that  except  in  so  far  as  such  excess 
shall  not  be  directed  to  be  applied  or  dealt  with  in 
manner  aforesaid  that  the  same  shall  not  be  paid 
to  the  Board  and  in  every  such  case  the  sum  which 
would  otherwise  be  payable  to  the  Board  shall  be 
reduced  accordingly." 

This  was  in  my  opinion  the  wisest  act 
connected  with  the  University  passed  by 
the  Government,  since  the  University  Con- 
federation Act.  Under  it  we  were  able  to 
plan  for  the  future  both  as  to  buildings, 
salaries  of  the  faculties,  and  the  cost  of 
a  steady  expansion,  caused  not  by  the 
University  authorities  but  by  the  people 
of  the  Province  in  their  natural  desire  to 
make  use  of  their  University. 

Aid  by  direct  taxation  in  the  United 
States  generally  meant  maintenance  alone 
of  the  state  universities,  special  grants 
being  made  for  buildings.  In  Ontario  the 
policy  which  either  refused  altogether  or 
helped  so  inadequately  left  the  University 
in  1906  with  very  large  necessities  in  build- 
ings. After  very  full  discussion  with  the 
Government  it  was  understood  that  a 
programme  of  building  involving  about  two 
million  dollars  could  be  proceeded  with. 
The  money  was  to  be  secured  by  the  issue 
of  long-dated  annuities  the  amortization 
of  which  would  be  made  out  of  our  annual 
income.  When  we  had  proceeded  a  certain 
degree  with  our  programme  of  building  we 
were  called  upon  to  stop  because  of  the  fear 
that  the  amortizations  would  become  large 
enough  to  more  than  exhaust  the  income 
from  the  Succession  Duties.  Money  at  that 
time  could  be  secured  on  a  four  per  cent 
basis  and  building  costs  were  probably 
lower  than  we  shall  soon,  if  ever,  see  them 
again.  The  history  of  the  Succession 
Duties  shows  that  the  halt  in  our  building 
should  not  have  been  called,  and  altogether 
this  was  a  most  unfortunate  mistake  in 
Government  policy.  But  a  much  greater 
and  more  vital  error  was  made  in  1914 
when,  without  any  intimation  to  the 


UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO  MONTHLY 


11 


University  either  before  or  after  the  action 
by  the  Government,  the  following  amend- 
ment to  the  University  Act  was  passed: 

"64.  Subsection  1  of  section  128  of  The  University 
Act  is  amended  by  adding  at  the  end  thereof  the- 
following  words:    'But  such  sum  shall  not  exceed 
$500,000  in  any  year'." 

In  the  very  year  that  this  change  was  made 
the  necessities  of  the  University  required 
the  Government  to  provide  nearly  $600,000 
instead  of  $500,000.  This  change  in  the 
fortunes  of  the  University  came  just  as  the 
enormous  increase  in  the  cost  of  everything 
caused  by  the  war  was  about  to  occur. 

While  I  cannot  speak  with  precision  I 
am  reasonably  sure  that  had  the  share  in 


the  Succession  Dues  remained  unaltered 
there  would  have  been  no  deficits  during 
the  last  six  or  seven  years  and  much,  if  not 
all,  of  our  building  programme  could  have 
been  undertaken.  It  is  quite  natural,  there- 
fore, in  my  opinion  that  the  Report  of  the 
Royal  Commission  on  University  Finances 
of  1921  at  page  26  et  seq  advocates  that  the 
Government  should  again  return  to  the 
principle  of  paying  "yearly  to  the  Board  of 
Governors  a  sum  equal  to  fifty  per  cent  of 
the  average  yearly  gross  receipts  of  the 
Province  from  Succession  Duties,  the 
average  being  calculated  on  the  receipts  of 
the  three  preceding  years".

Minutes  of  the  Twenty-First  Annual  Meeting 


THE  Twenty-First  Annual  Meeting  of 
the  University  of  Toronto  Alumni 
Association  was  held  in  the  Lecture 
Room,  Hart  House,  on  Thursday,  June  9, 
at  4  p.m.,  the  President  of  the  Association, 
Hon.  Mr  Justice  Masten,  occupying  the 
chair. 

On  motion  of  Dr  Gibb  Wishart  and  Mr 
J.  R.  L.  Starr,  the  Minutes  of  the  previous 
meeting  as  published  in  THE  UNIVERSITY 
OF  TORONTO  MONTHLY,  June  1920,  were 
taken  as  read  and  confirmed. 

On  motion  of  Professor  J.  J.  MacKenzie 
and  Mr  Samuel  King,  the  Report  of  the 
Board  of  Directors  for  1920-1921  as  pub- 
lished in  THE  UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO 
MONTHLY,  June  1921,  was  taken  as  read. 

In  moving  the  adoption  of  the  Report, 
Mr  Justice  Masten  outlined  the  year's 
work.  He  pointed  out  that  the  Memorial 
Fund  had  increased  by  the  addition  of 
$50,000  in  subscriptions  during  the  year; 
that  the  Loan  Fund  was  serving  a  very 
important  part  in  affording  assistance  to 
returned  soldier-students  who  could  not 
otherwise  continue  their  University 
courses ;  that  THE  MONTHLY  had  increased 
in  interest,  and  415  subscriptions  had  been 
added  to  the  list  during  the  year,  while  the 
receipts  from  advertising  had  increased  by 
$1,054.35.  He  announced  that  according 
to  the  Secretary-Treasurer's  statement  the 
Association  had  a  debit  balance  of  $1,873.89 
for  the  eleven  months  ending  May  31,  but 
to  offset  this  the  guarantee  of  the  Univer- 
sity against  certain  deficits  amounted  to 


$2,300  payable  at  the  end  of  the  financial 
year,  June  30.  He  also  drew  attention  to 
the  work  of  the  Bureau  of  Appointments 
which,  in  spite  of  the  lack  of  a  staff 
adequate  to  carry  on  the  work,  had  placed 
forty-three  students  in  summer  positions. 

He  stated  that  there  were  three  im- 
portant tasks  to  be  carried  out  by  the 
Association  during  the  coming  year.  First, 
the  education  of  the  people  of  Ontario 
toward  a  realization  of  the  fact  that  the 
University  must  receive  adequate  support 
if  the  progress  and  welfare  of  the  Province 
were  not  to  suffer.  Second,  the  securing  of 
a  considerable  increase  in  the  paid  member- 
ship of  the  Association  in  order  to  accom- 
plish a  substantial  advance  toward  making 
the  Association  financially  independent. 
Third,  the  re-organization  and  incorpora- 
tion of  the  Association  so  as  to  facilitate 
the  organized  co-operation  in  a  federated 
body  of  the  alumni  organizations  now 
existing  in  the  various  Faculties  and 
Colleges  of  the  University. 

Mr  Graham  Campbell  suggested  that  a 
card  authorizing  banks  to  pay  the  alumni 
membership  fee  on  a  certain  date  each 
year,  be  prepared,  so  that  alumni  might  be 
relieved  from  the  necessity  of  writing  small 
cheques  for  membership  fees.  Thi§  will  be 
taken  up  by  the  Board. 

President  Falconer  was  then  called  upon 
and  spoke  on  the  finances  of  the  University. 
He  reviewed  the  developments  of  the  past 
year  and  spoke  of  the  necessity  of  securing 
larger  support  from  the  Government  if  the 


12 


UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO  MONTHLY 


work  of  the  University  were  to  be  con- 
tinued on  an  efficient  basis,  pointing  out 
that  money  was  required  for  additional 
buildings,  staff,  and  equipment. 

Sir  Edmund  Walker,  Chairman  of  the 
Governors  of  the  University,  followed, 
declaring  that  the  Succession  Dues  plan  was 
the  best  because  it  provided  an  arrangement 
whereby  the  income  of  the  University 
would  increase  with  the  wealth  of  the 
Province.  He  argued  that  a  fixed  statu- 
tory grant  would  not  provide  for  the  neces- 
sary extensions  of  the  University,  and 
stated  that  if  the  University  has  to  go  each 
year  to  the  Government,  the  Governors 
will  be  left  in  a  state  of  uncertainty, 
detrimental  to  the  best  interests  of  the 
University. 

Mr  Justice  Masten  pointed  out  that  if 
the  institution  were  to  continue  as  the 
Provincial  University  it  should  receive  an 
assured  statutory  allowance  so  that  it 
would  not  be  competing  annually  with 
Queen's  and  Western  Universities  for  an 
allowance  from  the  Consolidated  Revenue 
Fund.  -.'-.; . 

The  motion  to  adopt  the  Report  was 
carried  unanimously. 

Mr  Angus  MacMurchy  then  took  the 
Chair  and  Mr  Justice  Masten  moved, 
seconded  by  Mr  King,  that:  (1)  This 
Association  do  re-organize  and  become  in- 
corporated as  hereinafter  mentioned;  (2) 
For  the  above  purpose  the  whole  assets  and 
undertakings  of  this  Association  as  a  going 
concern,  including  the  Memorial  Fund  and 
all  other  trust  funds  if  any,  held  by  it,  be 
transferred  and  assigned  to  the  Corporation 
heretofore  incorporated  as  the  Alumni 
Federation  of  the  University  of  Toronto; 
(3)  The  Directors  and  the  proper  Officers 
of  the  Association  be  and  they  are  hereby 
authorized  and  empowered  to  carry  out 
such  transfer  and  to  execute  all  documents 
and  do  all  other  things  necessary  or  ex- 
pedient to  complete  such  transfer. 

After  some  discussion  the  motion  was 
put  and  carried. 

On  motion  of  Mr  J.  R.  L.  Starr  and  Pro- 
fessor J.  P.  McMurrich  the  report  of  the

mission or  of  some  other  plan  equally 
favourable  to  the  University. 

There  being  no  other  business  presented, 
the  meeting  adjourned. 


The  University  at  the  Exhibition 


"  IF  the  mountain  will  not  go  to  Mahomet, 
1  Mahomet  must  go  to  the  mountain." 
This  was  the  motto  adopted  by  the 
University  of  Toronto  and  demonstrated  at 
the  Canadian  National  Exhibition,  when 
the  University  came  down  to  the  people, 
became  acquainted  with  them,  regardless 
of  class,  colour,  or  condition,  and  gave 
them  the  opportunity  to  see  and  under- 
stand at  first  hand  something  of  what  the 
University  is  and  for  what  it  stands. 

The  first  thing  that  greeted  the  eye  of  the 
casual  visitor  to  the  Government  Building, 
was  the  familiar  colours  of  the  blue  and 
white,  the  broad  white  arch,  lettered  in 
royal  blue  with  the  words  "University  of 
Toronto".  The  white  panels  behind,  with 
the  blue  writing  on  the  wall,  made  an 
effective  background,  and  banks  of  ferns, 
gay  banners  and  blue  and  white  bunting 
were  merely  part  of  the  trappings  that 
made  the  whole  exhibit  so  attractive. 

Nearest  the  entrance  was  the  astro- 
nomical display.  Here  were  photographic 
plates  of  the  moon  and  the  other  planets, 


globes  of  various  kinds,  telescopes  of 
different  sizes,  and  a  complicated  model  of 
the  second  largest  telescope  in  the  world, 
with  its  enveloping  dome.  Clusters  of 
people  gathered  around  this  part  of  the 
exhibit  at  every  hour  of  the  day,  amateur 
astronomers,  visitors  from  American  uni- 
versities', and  the  inevitable  small  boys,  to 
whom  the  large  eight-inch  telescope  was 
an  unending  fascination  and  sometimes  a 
fatal  temptation  to  disregard  the  warning 
words  "Do  Not  Handle". 

Next  to  that  came  the  Extension  Depart- 
ment of  the  University.  On  its  counters 
were  spread  literature  and  pamphlets 
giving"  all  sorts  of  information  about  the 
Extension  courses  and  a  watchful  presence 
was'  Always  behind  the  counter  to  give  a 
wbrti  of  help  or  advice.  Everybody  paused 
there  and  everybody  passed  on  satisfied. 
Some  stopped  for  curiosity  and  went  away 
with  a  larger  idea  of  the  activities  of  the 
University.  Some  stopped  to  inquire  about 
the  different  courses — farmers,  teachers, 
journalists,  housewives,  social  service

workers,  or  prospective  students  in  any 
Faculty.  There  was  a  pamphlet  or  a 
calendar  for  each  one.  Even  the  small  boy 
was  not  forgotten  and  his  insatiable  request 
"Any  samples?"  was  rewarded  by  a 
blotter,  bearing  an  imprint  of  the  main 
doorway. 

In  the  centre  of  the  exhibit  and  at  the 
very  front  was  a  map  of  the  world  where 
electric  bulbs  flickering  on  and  off,  showed 
how  antitoxin  from  the  Connaught  Labora- 
tories is  distributed  to  all  parts  of  the 
Empire.  A  moving  picture  machine, 
stationed  beside,  the  map,  flashed  on  its 
slides,  ampler  information  about  the  very 
important  work  performed  by  the  Depart- 
ment of  Hygiene. 

Farther  on,  the  display  of  the  Physics 
Department  contested  with  the  highly 
salaried  clown  at  the  Provincial  Public 
Health  Exhibit,  the  claim  of  being  the 
most  popular  exhibit ,  in  'the  Government 
Building.  To  the  scientifically  inclined  as 
well  as  to  the  merely  curious,  every  bit  of 
apparatus  on  the  counter  was  a  drawing 
card.  Through  ultra-microscopes  one 
looked  at  cigarette  smoke  and  saw  the 
tiny  white  particles  of  which  it  is  com- 
posed and  which  settle  in  the  lungs  when 
inhaled.  Electrical  apparatus  and  rare 
gases  received  their  share  of  attention,  but 
there  was  no  doubt  about  it,  the  centre  of 
attraction  was  the  demonstration  of  the 
properties  of  liquid  air.  Gleaming  silver 
thermos  tubes  with  vapour  rising  from 
them  drew  the  crowd  and  when  the  special 
experiments  were  performed  in  the  after- 
noon and  evening,  the  people  would  gather 
so  thickly  that  the  passageways  became 
obstructed.  The  experiments  were  simple 
enough  for  anyone  to  understand,  yet 
interesting  enough  for  all  to  appreciate. 
A  rubber  ball  was  dropped  into  the  thermos 
tube,  taken  out,  thrown  on  the  floor,  where 
it  broke  into  splinters.  A  flower  was  dipped 
in  liquid  air  and  frozen.  Fire  was  pro- 
duced at  300°  below  zero.  It  was  all  very 
simple  but  it  was  unusual  and  rather 


amusing  and  time  after  time  it  got  the 
crowd.  Every  person  who  visited  the 
booth  came  back  a  second  time  and  brought 
a  friend  with  him.  Probably  the  magic 
words,  three  hundred  degrees  below  zero, 
carried  an  appeal  of  their  own  on  those 
sweltering  days  of  early  September. 

The  last  and  least  spectacular  point  of 
interest  was  intended  chiefly  for  the 
graduates.  It  was  the  table  of  the  Alumni 
Association,  and  on  it  was  displayed  the 
Visitors'  Book,  a  register  for  the  alumni 
and  alumnae  who  passed  through  the 
exhibit,  and  copies  of  THE  MONTHLY  and 
Goblin.  "I  just  want  to  see  who  has  been 
here  from  my  year",  was  the  usual  apology 
for  stopping  to  peruse  the  names  on  the 
register  and  the  preliminary  to  affixing 
one's  own  signature.  It  was  interesting 
to  see  the  names  of  class-mates  of  years 
ago  and  to  discover  where  they  lived  and 
what  they  were  doing.  A  tinge  of  cos- 
mopolitanism was  contributed  in  the  ad- 
dresses which  embraced  places  extending 
from  Mexico  to  the  Yukon,  from  New 
Brunswick  to  California,  with  Japan, 
China,  and  India,  the  most  frequent  names 
outside  our  own  continent.  Although 
primarily  for  the  graduates,  here  again  the 
public  was  not  neglected,  for  pamphlets 
were  distributed,  gaily-coloured  outside 
and  crowded  inside  with  facts  about  the 
University  and  its  finances. 

The  final  impression  made  by  the  Uni- 
versity probably  varied.  The  graduate 
passed  on  with  a  sense  of  renewed  sym- 
pathy and  perhaps  a  glow  of  pride  for  his 
Alma  Mater.  The  visitor  from  the  country 
felt  that  he  had  a  better  realization  of  the 
necessity  and  the  achievements  of  the 
Provincial  University.  To  him  it  had  now 
become  something  living,  tangible.  The 
small  boy,  rushing  off  with  several  pamph- 
lets stuffed  in  his  paper  bag  was  wholly 
unable  to  analyze  his  impressions.  Pro- 
bably the  title  on  the  yellow  pamphlet 
summarized  the  general  opinion  in  these 
words  "Higher  Education  Pays". 


The  President's  Opening  Address 


ON  Tuesday,  September  27,  the  Presi- 
dent's opening  address  to  students 
was  delivered  in  Convocation  Hall. 
In     his     opening     remarks     Sir     Robert 
welcomed  the  students  to  the  University 
and  expressed  the  hope  that  this  year  might 


be  as  satisfactory  as  the  last  and  carry  on 
the  tradition  that  had  grown  and  developed 
around  the  institution.  He  referred  to  the 
changes  that  had  taken  place  during  the 
summer.  The  deaths  of  Dr  Grange,  for 
many  years  principal  of  the  Veterinary

College,     and     Dr    Reynar,     of    Victoria 
College,    had   removed   two   very   kindly, 
effective  gentlemen  from  the  staff  of  the 
University.      After   mentioning   the   large 
number  of  students  who  had  gone  abroad 
to  pursue  their  studies,  and  the  high  stand- 
ing of  those  who  had  returned  from  the 
Universities  of  Great  Britain,  Sir  Robert 
went  on  to  discuss  the  various  changes  in 
the  curriculum  and  the  extensive  develop- 
ment in  the  Faculty  of  Medicine,  due  to 
the   gift   of   the    Rockefeller   Foundation. 
Continuing,  he  said  in  part: 
^  As  a  result  of  the  Rockefeller  gift  a  so-called  full- 
time  professorship  of  Surgery  has  been  established, 
the  occupant  of  ^the  chair  to  devote  all,  except  a 
very  few  hours  in  each  day,  to  the  work  of  the 
University  and   the   Hospital.     He   becomes  also 
chief  surgeon   in   the   Toronto   General   Hospital. 
Dr  Clarence  Starr  has  been  appointed  to  the  chair, 
I  am  glad  so  say  with  the  cordial  concurrence  of  his 
fellow  surgeons  in  the  University.     This  city  is 
fortunate  in  the  number  of  excellent  surgeons 
who  practise  here,  and  their  acceptance  of  Dr 
Starr    with    such    unanimity    means    that    the 
University   is   to    be   congratulated    upon   this 
appointment.    As  an  orthopaedic  surgeon  he  has 
an  international  reputation  and  his  work  both  as 
operator  and  administrator  in  the  Hospital  for 
Sick  Children,  and  during  the  War  in  England 
and  in  Canada,  ensures  his  success  in  this  new 
position.    The  gift  of  Sir  John  and  Lady  Eaton 
two  years  ago  for  the  establishnemt  of  a  chair 
of  Medicine  has  been  working  out  very  success- 
fully, and  I  heard  this  summer  that  our  experi- 
ments are  being  watched  with  a  good  deal  of 
interest  by  the  medical  world  both  of  Britain  and 
America.     Developments  in  other  departments 
of  Medicine  will  follow  and  the  future  in  this 
faculty  is  bright. 

Everywhere  the  medical  schools  are  full,  and 
it  has  been  found  necessary  in  Toronto  also  to 
limit  the  number  of  those  who  will  be  allowed 
to  enter  this  Faculty.  The  last  three  first  years 
have  been  so  large  that  if  this  condition  were 
continued  there  would  be  grave  danger  of  injus- 
tice being  done  to  students.  Laboratories  are  too 
crowded;  clinical  facilities  are  insufficient.  So  it 
has  become  inevitable  that  we  shall  not  admit 
more  than  about  140  entrants.  The  selection 
has  been  a  difficult  task  but  the  principle  adopted 
was  to  take  none  with  merely  Junior  Matricula- 
tion who  are  under  nineteen  years  of  age.  How- 
ever, those  rejected  will  have  the  first  chance 
next  year  if  they  are  successful  in  the  subjects 
of  Senior  Matriculation  or  of  the  first  year  in 
Arts.  By  this  method  of  selection  a  uniform 
principle  has  been  established  and  the  rejection 
falls  upon  the  youngest,  most  of  whom  will  pro- 
bably benefit  by  another  preparatory  year. 

A  new  system  for  the  supervision  of  the  health 
of  both  men  and  women  students  has  been  in- 
stituted, Dr  G.  D.  Porter  and  Dr  Edith  Gordon 
having  been  appointed  for  this  purpose.  Both 
have  been  trained  for  such  work  and  have  had  wide 
experience  in  it.  That  the  University  has  a  duty 
of  this  kind  towards  its  students  is  being  recognized 
more  and  more.  Education  should  develop  the 


whole  person;  a  healthy  i  -cly  not  only  makes  its 
possessor  a  moio  useful  member  of  society,  but 
brings  happiness  and  helps  to  keep  the  mind  clear 
so  that  one  s  powers  may  be  used  to  better  ad- 
vantage. The  health,  the  intelligence,  and  the 
morals  of  a  people  go  hand  in  hand.  It  is  noteworthy 
that  to-day  Governments  also  are  accepting  it  as 
one  of  their  functions  to  have  oversight  of  health. 
In  Britain  there  is  the  Ministry  of  Health,  of  wide 
scope;  in  Canada  one  of  our  former  professors,  Dr 
Amyot,  has  been  made  Deputy-Minister  of  Health, 
and  in  the  province  and  city  the  Health  Depart- 
ments have  assumed  large  proportions.  I  am 
confident  that  Dr  Porter  and  Dr  Gordon  will  be 
very  influential  in  our  academic  life  and  will  tone 
it  up,  most  students  being  in  the  formative  stage 
need  advice  leading  to  the  growth  of  healthful  habits 
which  make  all  the  difference  between  a  successful 
and  an  unhappy  life.  Those  of  us  who  have  now 
most  of  our  years  behind  us  can  tell  you,  as  was  told 
to  us  though  alas!  we  did  not  always  give  heed, 
that  the  practice  of  seemingly  trifling  habits  grows 
insensibly  into  second  nature,  resulting  on  the  one 
hand  in  vigour,  endurance,  and  courage,  or  on  the 


other  in  sluggishness,  indolence,  and  a  shrinking 
from  effort.  I  often  ask  myself  how  much  of  one's 
reluctance  to  face  difficulties  is  due  to  general 
physical  lassitude  brought  on  by  haying  neglected

to  keep  the  body  fit.  Undoubtedly  many  so-called 
"moral"  or  "immoral"  failures  are  to  be  set  to  the 
account  of  physical  defects.  That  is  not  to  say  that 
those  who  are  in  the  pink  of  condition  will  always 
have  sensitive  consciences  and  wills  responsive  to 
the  best;  but  they  can  keep  themselves  under 
greater  control,  which  is  a  primary  factor  in  the 
formation  of  moral  character — I  linger  upon  this 
because  this  University  now  offers  you  a  golden 
opportunity  for  gaining  mastery  of  yourself.  Here 
we  will  help  you  to  realize  your  powers,  or  at  least 
to  make  a  good  beginning. 

Associated  with  this  is  the  rule  as  to  physical 
training.  Unfortunately  we  are  not  yet  in  a  position 
to  make  it  a  requirement  for  women  students,  and 
I  deeply  regret  that  we  have  not  been  able  to  secure 
from  the  Government  the  money  for  the  new 
women's  building.  But  though  physical  training 
is  not  compulsory  for  women,  we  lay  upon  you  a 
moral  responsibility  to  devote  a  good  deal  of  your 
time  to  healthful  exercise. 

This  leads  me  to  speak  of  sport.  I  do  not  need 
to  remind  you  of  the  record  of  this  University  last 
year  in  football,  hockey,  and  indeed  .almost  every 
line.  We  were  all  very  proud  of  our  teams  and  you 
remember  the  receptions  they  were  given,  and  the 
triumphant  progress  they  made  through  the  city. 
With  this  memory  let  us  face  the  coming  season, 
also  with  the  best  expectations,  and  we  have  good 
reason  for  so  doing.  Loyalty  and  encouragement 
of  our  teams  will  not  be  lacking.  But  even  more 
important  than  that  you  should  idly  cheer  a  vic- 
torious team  is  it  that  you  should  all  engage  in  some 
sport  or  exercise.  When  the  University  at  large  so 
orders  itself  that  everyone  plays  a  game  or  takes 
some  exercise  it  will  get  the  healthiest  spirit.  You 
will  cheer  the  victors  more  heartily  because  you 
yourselves  know  something  of  the  zest  of  the  game. 
It  is  the  best  golfers  who  watch  with  most  earnest- 
ness the  game  of  the  champions.  And  such  partici- 
pation will  be  the  most  effective  corrective  to  the 
overgrowth  of  sport.  That  this  is  a  real  danger  no 
one  who  looks  at  the  r,  atter  seriously  will  deny. 
In  England  I  heard  it  said  more  than  once  that 
devotion  to  sport  had  almost  become  a  passion 
which  is  sapping  the  energies  of  the  people  and 
usurping  the  place  of  work.  By  this  was  meant 
not  that  too  many  people  were  playing  cricket,  or 
football,  or  tennis,  or  golf,  but  that  multitudes  who 
do  not  play  stand  round  the  newspaper  announce- 
ments to  get  the  results,  or  crowd  into  the  arenas 
and  grounds  merely  to  watch  the  game.  It  is  in 
the  watching  of  the  game  and  the  betting  on  the 
results  that  the  danger  lies,  not  in  the  playing.  The 
more  people  play  the  fewer  will  there  be  to  watch, 
and  as  a  rule  one's  own  body,  itself  healthily  satisfied 
will  be  a  good  governor  to  shut  off  steam  in  time. 

Last  year  I  spoke  to  you  about  the  meaning  of 
university  sport  and  about  the  part  that  the 
University  should  play  in  keeping  up  its  tone  and 
character.  Let  me  refer  briefly  to  this  subject  again. 
Here  we  play  for  the  play  itself  not  primarily  to  win 
the  game.  We  play  also  in  the  University  as  re- 
membering that  students  come  here  first  and  fore- 
most to  do  their  work  in  their  classes,  to  secure  an 
intellectual  or  professional  education,  and  not  to  get 
the  best  chance  in  the  country  for  football  and 
hockey.  A  university  is  primarily  a  body  of  stu- 
dents. You  come  here  to  study.  If  you  do  not  you 
are  a  nuisance  to  teachers  and  a  burden  upon  the 
public.  Therefore  you  are  student-sports;  men  and 
women  who  find  in  sport  a  relaxation,  a  supple- 


mental pleasure,  who  enjoy  an  all-round  life  here 
because  you  can  fill  in  your  spare  hours  in  playing 
with  your  fellows  in  this  University  and  in  the 
other  Universities  of  this  country  who  join  with  you 
in  the  same  spirit.  Your  sport  is  not  your  pro- 
fession; it  is  your  play  which  helps  you  to  prepare 
yourselves  better  for  your  profession.  Therefore  the 
winning  of  the  game  is  worth  anything  only  when 
it  is  a  sport.  According  to  definition  that  is  a 
pastime,  some  occupation  so  agreeable  that  it 
makes  the  time  pass  quickly  arid  is  thus  a  diversion 
from  strenuous  or  serious  work  or  thought,  becoming 
a  recreation  which  refreshes  the  tired  person  and 
makes  him  as  good  as  new.  If  that  is  so,  while  the 
winning  of  the  game  is  very  important,  it  is  secon- 
dary. It  is  no  good  at  all  unless  one  strives  accord- 
ing to  the  rules  and  the  game  is  not  won  in  reality 
if  the  rules  are  not  observed  during  the  play.  I  have 
lingered  upon  this  at  length  because  I  believe  that 
the  playing  of  games  is  an  important  part  of  your 
university  life,  but  also  because  there  are  such 
strong  tendencies  to  pervert  their  uses  into  evils, 
and  it  is  our  duty  in  this  place  to  exhibit  to  the 
country,  which  follows  our  doings  very  closely,  what 
the  true  spirit  of  games  should  be. 

A  great  University  like  Toronto  is  one  of  the  most 
healthful  communities  in  this  land — none  more  so. 
Our  students  are  drawn  from  the  best  homes  in  the 
country — and  from  every  class  of  society.  This  was 
shown  clearly  by  the  statistics  which  we  published 
for  presentation  to  the  University  Commission  last 
year.  It  is  a  great,  variegated,  and  variously  com- 
pacted society  in  which  young  men  and  women  come 
together  with  ideas  supplied  from  the  experience 
in  the  home  of  the  farmer,  the  artisan,  the  business- 
man, the  lawyer,  doctor,  clergyman,  indeed  almost 
every  class — the  well-to-do,  the  rich,  the  merely 
comfortable,  the  poor — all  thrown  together  without 
distinction,  each  one  taken  on  his  or  her  merits — • 
but  altogether  a  society,  wholesome  and  earnest. 
Also,  those  who  direct  the  life  and  thought  of  the 
University — its  teaching  staff — are  earnest  men  and 
women  with  minds  set  upon  those  things  the  pursuit 
of  which  rrakes  a  healthful  society.  Moreover,  the 
courses  in  the  curricula  of  the  different  faculties 
must  enlarge  the  mind  and  stimulate  those  who 
participate  in  them  to  high  purposes.  A  university 
is  then  a  healthy  community.  We  believe  that  its 
atmosphere  will  brace  you  and  that  its  influences 
will  act  as  a  beneficial  tonic  in  you. 

This  is  realized  by  the  advanced  nations  every- 
where. In  Britain  the  universities  are  thronged 
to  overflowing.  Commissions  of  all  kinds  to  report 
upon  different  phases  of  education  have  been 
appointed  by  the  Government,  and  the  publication 
of  these  reports  calls  forth  much  comment  in  the 
press.  Literary,  scientific,  and  professional  educa- 
tion gets  widespread  attention.  Men  are  eagerly 
asking  one  another  what  is  to  be  done  to  improve 
standards.  Moreover,  so  convinced  are  they  that 
the  welfare  of  the  State  depends  upon  the  cultivation 
of  the  intelligence  of  the  people,  that  beginning  in 
the  elementary  schools  a  search  is  made  for  boys 
and  girls  of  promise,  who  by  scholarships  or  other- 
wise are  given  a  chance  of  showing  what  is  in  them — • 
with  the  object  of  securing  for  the  benefit  of  the 
people  as  a  whole  the  trained  skill  and  intelligence 
of  those  who  may  be  best  suited  to  take  higher 
technical  or  farming  training,  professional  educa- 
tion, scientific  or  literary  discipline.  It  is  recog- 
nized that  education  must  be  differentiated — that 
it  must  be  adapted  to  the  ability,  aptitude  and  aims

of  the  individual.  Indiscriminate  education  might 
be  overdone.  Selective  education  will  give  the 
state  fewer  misfits  and  a  smaller  residue  of  incom- 
petency. 

During  some  weeks  of  last  summer  a  correspond- 
ence was  carried  on  in  the  columns  of  The  London 
Times  on  the  question  as  to  whether  or  not  the 
young  men  and  women  of  England  are  deteriorating. 
The  controversy,  for  such  it  came  to  be,  was  started 
by  a  letter  from  an  old  Etonian  who  lamented  the 
rude  manners  of  the  youth  of  to-day  as  compared 
with  those  of  his  contemporaries  in  school.  Young 
men,  he  said,  strut  around  with  their  hands  in  their 
pockets  and  keep  them  there  when  they  are  speaking 
to  their  elders;  they  puff  their  cigarettes  in  any 
company  whatever,  they  wear  any  hat,  or  no  hat 
at  all,  they  come  into  a  lady's  parlour  dressed  in  a 
rough  and  unbrushed  tweed  suit,  and  in  general 
they  set^at  defiance  the  rules  of  what  used  to  be 
good  society.  Such  conduct,  he  held,  is  a  sign  of 
the  independence  and  self-regarding  attitude  of  the 
rising  generation.  Etonian  made  a  lamentable 
plaint.  His  letter  called  forth  many  replies,  some 
in  support  and  some  against  his  opinions.  Those 
in  opposition  pointed  to  what  these  youths  had 
done  in  the  war;  to  the  splendid  showing  they  had 
made  when  put  to  the  proof.  They  explained  the 
free  and  easy  attitude  of  the  young  man  of  to-day  as 
being  due  to  indifference  to  externals,  a  frame  of 
mind  created  first  when  they  had  been  brought  face 
to  face  with  the  grim  realities  of  war.  To  some 
extent  it  may  be  a  revolt  against  the  conventional 
and  may  be  an  exaggerated  reaction  by  sincere 
minds  against  formal  insincerities.  This  corre- 
spondence was  symptomatic  of  what  is  going  on  in 
England.  That  there  is  a  spirit  of  revolt  is  manifest 
— in  labour  not  only  against  capital,  but  against 
their  leaders;  in  religion  and  morals  against  what 
is  claimed  to  be  formalism  or  immoral  rigidity;  in 


social  affairs  against  what  is  merely  proper.  So 
employers  are  alarmed,  religious  leaders  are  dis- 
tressed, society  is  shocked.  Everything  is  being 
challenged.  Whither  are  we  bound?  Of  course 
part  of  the  alarm  is  due  to  these  folk  having  for- 
gotten the  terrible  unheaval  in  which  the  world 
lived  for  over  four  years.  How  could  such  a  cata- 
clysm have  taken  place  without  causing  cracks  and 
fissures  in  the  system  of  ideas  which  hold  society 
together?  It  was  to  be  expected  that  there  would 
be  a  change  in  levels  and  that  permanent  disloca- 
tions like  geological  faults  might  occur.  Geologists 
tell  us  that  the  River  St.  Lawrence  is  due  to  a 
fault.  Some  tremendous  shock  once  created  the 
channel  along  which  flows  for  hundreds  of  miles 
the  mighty  river  which  not  only  is  a  glory  to 
Canada  and  makes  her  famous  in  the  world  for  its 
beauty,  but  constitutes  a  superb  waterway  along 
which  commerce  may  be  brought  into  the  heart  of 
a  great  nation. 

The  real  point  is  this.  Does  this  revolt,  in  so  far 
as  it  exists,  mean  that  our  youth  have  thrown  from 
them  all  moral  sanctions  and,  having  broken  away 
from  conventions  that  once  hemmed  them  in,  are 
to-day  Ishmaelites  wandering  upon  the  face  of  the 
earth  without  landmarks  or  home?  Are  these 
aberrations,  if  you  so  call  them,  the  result  of  lack 
of  principle?  The  complaint  of  "Old  Etonian" 
seemed  to  me  to  be  trivial.  He  was  one  of  those 
people  for  whom  convention  and  an  accepted  order 
is  the  same  as  a  divine  law.  Good  form,  i.e.,  the 
practices  of  a  certain  section  of  society  established 
by  years  of  precedent,  has  for  such  as  he,  almost 
the  validity  of  a  moral  precept.  Breach  of  such 
conventions  is  almost  worse  than  that  of  funda- 
mental law.  "Old  Etonian",  however,  is  not  such 
a  rare  bird.  Others  of  the  same  family  and  plumage 
have  their  habitat  in  Canada. 


Another  Session  Opens 


T 


1HE     University     has    again     thrown 
off  the   mantle  of  somnolence  with 
which   it   shrouds   itself   during   the 
summer    months    and    is    once    more    the 
centre  of  busy  life. 

The  passage  of  years  has  but  little  effect 
on  the  atmosphere  of  the  University.  In 
I  these  opening  days  of  the  1921-2  session 
there  is  abroad  the  same  spirit  of  restless- 
ness and  carefree  happiness  which  has 
always  characterized  the  opening  days. 

All  is  bustle,  noise  and  activity  around 
the  different  buildings.  The  sidewalks  are 
filled,  with  a  steady  stream  of  students; 
sporadic  groups  are  stationed  here  and 
there;  the  omnipresent  note-book  and 
fountain  pen  are  already  visible.  The 
freshman  is  everywhere, — on  the  thresh- 
olds, on  the  lawns,  in  the  corridors,  easily 
recognizable  by  his  youth,  hesitance  and 
awkward  attempts  to  appear  familiar  with 
his  surroundings. 


From  all  accounts  the  University  is  going 
to  be  even  more  crowded  this  year  than 
previously.  The  enrolment  figures  are  not 
yet  complete  but  they  point  to  an  increase 
in  attendance  at  nearly  all  the  Faculties. 
Medicine  seems  to  be  the  most  popular,  for 
despite  the  fact  that  the  number  of  first 
year  students  is  being  limited  to  140  there 
are  already  1,055  registered  as  compared 
with  1,108  last  year.  Probably  the  ex- 
tensive developments  in  the  Faculty  of 
Medicine  which  are  being  carried  on  as  a 
result  of  the  gift  of  the  Rockefeller  Founda- 
tion has  something  to  do  with  the  large 
enrolment. 

In  the  other  Faculties  the  same  tendency 
is  reported.  In  Applied  Science  the  regis- 
trations will  probably  be  just  the  same  as 
last  year.  At  present  there  are  some  700 
enrolled  as  compared  with  a  total  regis- 
tration of  806  for  the  year  1920-1.  The 
figures  are  as  yet  incomplete  as  many  of 


18 


UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO  MONTHLY 


the  students  have  not  returned.  At  the 
Dental  College  and  Forestry  there  promises 
to  be  a  slight  increase.  There  are  795  en- 
rolled in  Dents  of  whom  100  are  freshmen; 
and  there  are  already  53  enrolled  in 
Forestry  as  compared  with  55  of  last  year. 
The  ranks  of  the  students  in  Arts  have 
also  been  increase1.  At  Trinity  College 
the  number  is  about  the  same  as  last  year. 
St.  Michael's  shows  an  increase  of  25%  in 
the  first  year  and  a  total  registration  of 
225  as  compared  with  206  for  1920-1. 
Victoria  and  University  College  have 
registrations  of  408  and  1,042,  approxi- 
mately the  same  figures  as  last  year.  The 
first  year  in  Arts  is  going  to  be  even  larger 
than  in  1920-1,  but  the  second  year  is 


relatively  smaller,  probably  as  a  result  of 
the  large  percentage  of  failures  at  the  end 
of  the  first  year. 

Present  indications  certainly  point  to  a 
successful  year.  Already  great  interest 
seems  to  be  taken  in  the  various  activities 
around  College  and  the  constant  line-up 
at  the  Bursar's  office  evidences  the  keen 
desire  to  take  immediate  advantage  of 
the  opportunities  afforded  by  Hart  House. 
A  few  more  weeks  and  the  heterogeneous, 
unwieldy  mob  of  freshmen  will  have  been 
assimilated  into  the  corporative  life  of  the 
University,  will  have  become  part  of  the 
University  itself.  One  more  academic  year 
will  be  fairly  launched. 


President  Falconer  Attends  University  Congress 


CANADIAN  universities  are  not  the  only 
ones  that  are  facing  very  serious  pro- 
blems to-day.  Sir  Robert  Falconer, 
who  attended  the  Congress  of  the  Univer- 
sities of  the  British  Empire  last  summer, 
reports  that  the  British  universities  are 
facing  the  same  conditions  only  in  a  more 
aggravated  form  as  are  the  universities  on 
this  continent.  The  Congress  occupied 
itself  with  the  various  problems  and  phases 
of  university  life  that  seem  to  be  wide- 
spread , — the  financial  question,  heavy  en- 
rolment, extension  and  extra-mural  work, 
technological  education,  the  position  of  the 
sciences,  and  international  relations. 

The  representatives  at  the  conference 
visited  first  the  Irish  universities  at  Dublin 
and  Belfast  and  then  went  over  to  London 
where  nearly  a  week  was  spent  inspecting 
the  various  educational  institutions,  hold- 
ing meetings,  and  reading  papers.  One  of 
the  evidences  of  the  widespread  interest 
taken  in  the  Congress  was  the  large  attend- 
ance at  the  banquet  given  in  London,  where 
many  notable  figures  in  English  political 
and  literary  life  were  present.  At  this 
dinner  Mr  Arthur  Balfour  presided,  and 
the  honour  fell  upon  Sir  Robert  of  respond- 
ing to  the  toast  which  he  proposed. 

The  conference  spent  several  days  at 
each  of  the  Universities  of  Oxford  and 
Cambridge  and  then  went  up  to  Scotland 
where  some  of  the  representatives  visited 
Edinburgh  and  others  went  to  Glasgow, 
Aberdeen,  and  Dundee.  Some  of  the 


representatives  went  on  to  the  other 
English  universities  which  they  had  not 
previously  visited.  At  each  place  some 
time  was  spent  in  studying  the  problems 
and  achievements  of  the  different  univer- 
sities. At  Cambridge  a  special  address  was 
given  by  Sir  Ernest  Rutherford  on  new 
developments  in  Science.  During  the  four 
days  in  which  the  Congress  was  in  session 
in  Oxford,  many  papers  were  read  dealing 
with  the  financial,  research  and  extra-mural 
work  of  the  university;  in  this  series  Sir 
Robert  contributed  a  paper  on  "the 
Balance  of  Studies  at  the  University". 
While  he  was  attending  the  conference, 
Oxford  University  conferred  on  him  the 
honorary  degree  of  D.C.L. ;  Trinity  College, 
Dublin,  honoured  him  with  an  LL.D.; 
and  Edinburgh  University,  of  which  he  is 
a  graduate,  bestowed  on  him  the  degree  of 
Doctor  of  Divinity. 

Sir  Robert  remarked  particularly  on  the 
widespread  impetus  that  has  been  given 
to  education  by  H.  A.  L.  Fisher,  the  presi- 
dent of  the  Board  of  Education.  Through- 
out the  country  great  interest  is  shown  in 
educational  concerns.  Students  throng  the 
universities  for  admission  and  the  situation 
is  becoming  difficult  on  account  of  the  lack 
of  accommodation.  A  striking  feature  of 
the  system  in  England,  and  one  which 
Sir  Robert  emphasized  as  showing  the 
democratic  spirit  that  prevails,  is  the  large 
number  of  bursaries  and  scholarships  pro- 
vided by  municipalities  so  that  no  boy  of

character  and  brains  need  be  handicapped 
by  lack  of  money  in  securing  a  good  educa- 
tion. Another  thing  that  particularly  drew 
his  attention  was  the  very  effective  work 
done  by  the  Public  Health  department  in 
England.  The  local  operations  of  this 
department  are  extremely  advanced,  and 
in  view  of  the  extensive  increase  in  the 
activity  of  the  Public  Health  Bureau  in 
Ontario  in  the  past  few  years  an  insight 
into  its  development  was  very  interesting. 
The  problem  of  nationalizing  the  univer- 
sities was  one  that  was  discussed  very 
vehemently  at  the  conference  and  was 
bitterly  opposed  by  the  majority  of  the 
English  universities,  which  are  supported 
chiefly  by  private  bequests  and  local  en- 


dowments. Sir  Robert  upheld  the  idea  of 
national  universities  and  cited  the  progress 
of  Toronto  as  the  Provincial  University 
of  Ontario.  Despite  their  private  funds 
and  higher  fees,  the  English  universities 
are  obliged  to  depend  on  the  Government 
for  support.  Their  financial  problems  have 
become  more  and  more  acute  because  of 
the  heavy  taxation,  widespread  unem- 
ployment, and  the  general  period  of  strain 
through  which  Great  Britain  is  passing. 
In  spite  of  these  drawbacks,  the  universities 
in  England  are  adjusting  themselves 
rapidly  to  new  conditions  and  are  making 
plans  for  extending  their  work  in  the 
future. 


New  Director  Takes  Over  At  Hart  House  Theatre 


''  I  'HE  last  generation  were  educated  in 
1  an  atmosphere  of  Bach  and  Bee- 
thoven, and  they  knew  and  appre- 
ciated Bach  and  Beethoven.  Our  age  is 
an  age  of  jazz  and  the  people  like  nothing 
but  jazz".  Such  is  the  dictum  of  Bertram 
Forsyth,  the  new  director  of  the  little 
theatre  at  Hart  House,  and  in  a  negative 
fashion  he  outlines  his  own  future  policy  in 
the  words  "  I  don't  believe  in  playing  down 
to  the  public". 

The  aim  of  the  community  theatre  is  to 
counteract  the  degrading  effect  of  the 
melodramatic  and  jazzy  tendencies  of  the 
modern  stage  by  introducing  to  the  public 
plays  that  have  interest,  charm,  and 
appeal,  and  above  all  a  certain  literary 
value.  It  educates  the  people  to  know  and 
appreciate  "the  best  that  is  known  and 
thought  in  the  world".  Mr  Forsyth  con- 
ceives of  the  theatre  at  Hart  House  as 
essentially  a  community  theatre.  The 
ideal  theatre  building,  of  course,  is  a  large 
auditorium  with  low-priced  seats.  But 
Hart  House  with  its  marvellous  mechanical 
equipment,  about  which  the  new  Director 
is  very  enthusiastic,  offers  facilities  for  the 
more  finished  production  of  plays  rarely 
found  in  the  regular  community  theatre. 

The  programme  of  the  Players'  Club  for 
the  coming  year  further  portrays  Mr 
Forsyth 's  ideas.  He  is  a  firm  believer  in 
the  intelligence  of  the  average  individual 
to  value  a  play  for  the  good  that  is  in  it, 
and  not  to  regard  it  merely  as  a  prop  for 


spectacular  effects,  vivid  scenic  arrange- 
ments, gorgeous  costumes,  and  the  other 
arts  of  mechanical  stage-craft.  The  most 
important  thing  for  Mr  Forsyth  is  the 
play;  secondary  only  to  that  is  the  indi- 
vidual interpretation  of  the  actor.  Good 
characterization  and  well-finished  voice 
production  are  the  main  necessities  for  a 
play.  All  else  is  subsidiary.  One  feels 
that  he  relies  on  none  of  the  "purple 
passages  "  of  stage-craft  to  obtain  a  mastery 
over  his  audience,  but  trusts  to  the  even, 
sustained  quality  of  the  whole  production. 
The  programme  for  the  year  is  as  follows: 
NOVEMBER  1 

A  Night  at  an  Inn. .  Dunsany 

Pantaloon Barrie 

White  Magic Algernon  Blackwood 

and  Bertram  Forsyth 

This  triple  bill  promises  to  afford  a 
delightful  evening's  entertainment.  The 
Dunsay  play  created  a  sensation  when  it 
was  first  produced  in  New  York,  and 
although  basically  not  unlike  a  "shilling- 
shocker",  it  has  an  imaginative  horror  that 
grips  the  audience.  Pantaloon  is  a  play  of 
Barrie's  that  has  never  yet  been  produced, 
but  one  can  expect  it  to  be  charming,  like 
Barrie's  other  plays.  If  White  Magic  is 
anything  like  Algernon  BlackwoocP s  stories 
it  will  be  a  fairy-like,  fascinating  thing.  Mr 
Blackwood  himself  is  not  an  unfamiliar 
figure  in  Canada.  He  lived  here  himself 
some  thirty  years  ago,  when  he  farmed, 
worked  in  the  Rainy  River  goldfields,  ran

a  hotel,  and  later  was  connected  with  the 
New  York  Sun  and  the  New  York  Timers. 
DECEMBER  6 

Candida.  . G.  B.  Shaw 

We  have  come  to  expect  a  Shaw  pro- 
duction each  year,  and  Candida  is  so  well 
known  that  it  needs  no  introduction,  save 
its  own  merits,  to  a  Toronto  audience. 
DECEMBER  22 

Chester  Mysteries 

This  appealing  Christmas  performance 
which  has  so  delighted  Toronto  audiences 
the  last  two  years,  has  been  selected  again 
for  this  season. 


SETTING  FOR  THE  CHESTER  MYSTERIES. 
Designed  by  J.  E.  H.  MacDonald 


JANUARY  17 

Magic G.  K.  Chesterton 

"A  mad  play,  but  with  great  charm",  is 
how  Mr  Forsyth  characterized  Magic  the 
only  play  that  Chesterton  has  ever  written. 
He  also  recalled  that  it  was  produced  the 
same  season  as  Shaw's  Fanny's  First  Play 
and  promptly  earned  from  Shaw  the  title 
"Fatty's  First  Play". 
FEBRUARY  21 

Playbills .  .  arranged  by  Bertram  Forsyth 
This  is  described  as  a  "  Georgian  Revue  ". 
It  was  produced  in  London  in  1914  and 
consists  of  a  revue  of  episodes  as  they 
might  have  been  performed  in  1800. 
MARCH  21 

Rosmersholm Isben 

The  play  of  Ibsen  is  not  by  any  means 
his    masterpiece    but    is    one    that    seems 


always  chosen  to  i>3  produced  on  the 
English  stage.  It  is,  in  fact,  rather  weird, 
with  its  central  character  a  modern  Lady 
Macbeth,  but  it  is  nevertheless  a  gripping 
play  from  its  gloomy  tragic  force. 
APRIL  18 

,God  of  Gods Carroll  Aikins 

This  is  a  Canadian  play  by  a  Western 
author,  which  has  been  produced  in 
Birmingham.  Mr  Forsyth  has  made  him- 
self the  sponsor  of  Canadian  playwrights 
and  it  is  to  be  hoped  his  spirit  will  do  much 
to  encourage  the  literary  activities  of  our 
country. 

JUNE  8 

The  Tempest ....  Shakespeare 
The  season  closes  as  usual 
with  a  Shakespearian  play  in 
Convocation  week.  The 
Tempest  is  a  favourite  of  the 
new  Director's  and  is  a  play 
that  is  particularly  delight- 
ful when  well-produced. 

The  year  at  Hart  House, 
according  to  this  pro- 
gramme, promises  to  be 
profitable  as  well  as  enter- 
taining. No  mention  has 
been  made  as  yet  of  Mr 
Forsyth's  qualifications  for 
his  new  office;  but  they  are 
undisputed.  For  years  he 
has  followed  the  triple 
metier  of  actor,  producer,  and 
playwright,  but  he  had  just  decided  to 
forsake  the  more  active  life  of  the  stage 
and  to  devote  his  time  wholly  to  writing 
when  this  opportunity  came  his  way.  If 
he  has  accepted  without  qualms  it  is  be- 
cause he  sees  its  tremendous  possibilities 
and  realizes  so  well  the  achievements  that 
lie  before  it  in  the  future.  "It  may 
develop  into  anything",  he  said  enthusi- 
astically. "It  may  even  become  a  school 
of  Dramatic  Art".  He  himself  wants  to 
branch  out  into  the  operatic  field  and  try 
a  little  Mozart.  The  difficulties  that  beset 
the  path  of  the  producer,  he  knows,  none 
better,  but  Mr  Forsyth  is  possessed  of  an 
incurable  optimism  and  one  may  presage 
that  his  determination  plus  his  own  ex- 
tremely likeable  personality  may  smooth 
away  some  of  the  obstacles  and  make  the 
season  at  Hart  House  a  very  successful  one. 


Sir  William  Mulock  and  University  Federation 


HONOUR  to  whom  honour  is  due.    At 
the  recent  reunion  dinner  in  Great 
Hall,  Hart  House,  I  was  delighted 
to  have  an  opportunity  of  meeting  in  that 
splendid  university  dining  hall  so  large  a 
number  of  university  graduates,  many  of 
them  distinguished  men  in  this  country, 
and  not  a  few  equally  distinguished  and 
more  highly  honoured  beyond  our  borders ; 
and,  while  enjoying  the  dinner  and  turning 
over  in  my  mind  some  of  the  events  and 
incidents  in  the  history  of  the 
University  during  the  last  two 
or  three  decades,   I  felt  that  I 
should  not  leave  the  Hall  with- 
out saying  a  word  regarding  cer- 
tain special  and  very  important 
services  rendered  to  the  Univer- 
sity by  one  of  her  distinguished 
graduates — one  to  whom  great 
credit    is    due.         I    mean    Sir 
William  Mulock;  but  the  singing 
of  college   songs,    the   constant 
conversation     with     occasional 
bursts    of    laughter    of    college 
friends   and   chums   of   bygone 
days,  and  the  august  presence  of 
those  at  the  head  table — well,  I 
presume  I  should  not  say  fright- 
ened   me,    but    prevented    me 
from  attempting  to  make  even  a 
single  observation.     Hence  this 
note. 

When  the  question  of  Univer- 
sity Federation  was  before  the 
Provincial  University,  the  Gov- 
ernment, and  the  non-provincial 
Universities  of  Ontario,  we 
found  the  President  of  the  Pro- 
vincial University  sympathetic 
and  willing  to  do  what  he  could, 
and  the  Government  (of  which 
Sir  John  Gibson  was  a  member) 
much  interested  and  always 
ready  to  remove  difficulties  and 
deal  generously  with  the  out- 
lying institutions;  but  the  chief 
factor  in  the  negotiations  was  Sir  William 
Mulock,  Vice-Chancellor  of  the  Provincial 
University  at  the  time  in  question. 

Sir  William  seemed  to  have  come  to  the 
conclusion  that  it  would  be  a  good  thing  to 
buttress  and  thereby  strengthen  the  Pro- 
vincial University,  if  at  all  possible,  some- 
what after  the  manner  of  Oxford  Univer- 
sity, with  its  twenty-one  colleges.  Those 


of  us  who  fought  long  and  persistently  for 
University  Federation  know  something  of 
what  the  University  and  the  Province  owe 
to  Sir  William  Mulock.  I  knew  every  step 
in  the  negotiations;  and  I  have  no  hesita- 
tion in  saying  that  but  for  Sir  William's 
attitude  and  action, — his  statesmanlike 
breadth  of  view,  his  wise  and  sympathetic 
counsel,  his  never-failing  tact,  his  long- 
continued  patience  and  perseverance, — but 
for  these  important  factors  operating 


SIR  WILLIAM  MULOCK,  '63 

throughout  the  negotiations  there  would 
have  been  no  University  Federation  then 
or  since;  and  I  may  add  that,  if  it  l^d  not 
been  for  Sir  William's  strong  personal 
influence  with  the  late  lamented  Father 
Teefy  and  some  other  prominent  members 
in  the  governing  body  of  St.  Michael's 
College,  St.  Michael's  would  not,  I  think, 
have  been  in  Federation  to-day.

UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO  MONTHLY 


No  doubt  the  President  of  the  University 
and  the  heads  of  the  four  colleges  directly 
interested  have  found  difficulties  in  carry- 
ing out  the  provisions  of  the  Federation 
Act;  but  patience  and  sane  judgment  have 
overcome  these  difficulties,  and  I  think  we 
are  now  warranted  in  speaking  of  Federa- 
tion as  a  great  success,  a  real  benefit  to 
the  University  and  to  the  institutions 
which  decided  to  avail  themselves  of  the 
generous  provisions  set  out  in  the  Federa- 
tion Pact. 

In  the  recent  appeal  to  the  Government 
and  members  of  the  Legislature,  so  well 
and  ably  made  by  our  President,  Sir 
Robert  Falconer,  it  was  a  matter  of  some 
importance  to  have  strong  support  instead 
of  opposition  from  Victoria  College,  Trinity 


College,  St.  Michael's  College,  and  the 
special  constituencies  which  these  Colleges 
represent;  and  it  may  not  be  amiss  to 
mention  Hart  House,  the  splendid  Massey- 
Treble  building  and  equipment  for  house- 
hold science,  and  the  half-million  gift  of 
Sir  John  Eaton  to  the  Medical  Department 
of  the  University,  with  other  splendid 
benefactions  of  recent  date,  as  among  the 
fruits  of  Federation. 

So  I  would  say  palmam  qui  meruit  feral, 
and  would  join  many  friends  in  conveying 
to  Sir  William  a  sincere  expression  of 
gratitude  for  his  eminent  and  distinguished 
services  to  the  cause  of  education  in  the 
banner  Province  of  the  Dominion.

Herbert  Symonds— An  Appreciation 


DOCTOR  SYMONDS,  as  we  all  loved  to 
call    him,    was    known    throughout 
Canada,  but  we  in  Montreal  knew 
him    best    and    perhaps    appreciated    him 
most.     He  had  been  so  long  with  us  and 
meant  so  much  to  our  common  life  that 


THE  LATE  HERBERT  SYMONDS, 
B.A.  (T.)  '86.  M.A.  '87 


his  passing  has  left  a  more  than  common 
gap.  His  peculiar  work  was  in  the  pulpit 
and  parish  of  Christ  Church  Cathedral; 
but  he  was  so  much  more  than  a  clergyman 
that  we  had  come  to  think  of  him  more  as 
a  citizen,  even  if  we  did  recognize  in  him 
the  finest  type  of  churchman.  For  fifteen 
years  he  was  a  leader  in  every  humanizing 
and  liberalizing  movement  in  our  midst. 
One  wonders  if  in  that  time  there  was  a 
solitary  good  cause  in  our  city  to  which  he 
did  not  put  his  hand  with  a  right  good  will 
and  give  it  a  lift.  How  he  found  time  to 
help  so  many  educational  and  charitable 
organizations  and  always  be  willing  to  take 
on  more,  was  a  wonder  to  all  his  friends. 
Indeed  the  wonder  is  that  he  was  able  to 
keep  it  up  so  long.  When  he  went  from  us 
it  was  felt  in  every  quarter  that  the  better 
life  of  our  city  had  lost  one  of  its  wisest 
and  best  friends  as  well  as  one  of  its  finest 
ornaments.  By  common  consent  he  was 
the  most  respected  and  best  loved  citizen 
of  our  English-speaking  community. 

One  could  not  help  asking  in  the  pre- 
sence of  the  many  thousands  who  came 
that  beautiful  May  day  to  pay  their 
respects  to  his  memory — and  they  were  all 
classes,  rich  folk  and  poor  folk,  Jews  and 
Gentiles,  believers  and  unbelievers — what 
it  was  that  gave  Doctor  Symonds  such  a 
peculiar  place  in  our  common  life.  Perhaps 
it  was  his  simple  and  unselfish  devotion  to 
the  common  good.  He  seemed  to  have  no 
other  ambition  than  to  serve  the  larger  life 


UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO  MONTHLY

to  which  he  belonged.  Perhaps  it  was  his 
serenity  of  temper.  How  often  he  fell 
foul  of  the  sectaries  on  the  one  hand  and 
the  vested  interests  of  public  evil  on  the 
other;  but  no  one  ever  saw  him  out  of 
temper  or  heard  an  impatient  word  from 
his  lips.  Perhaps  it  was  that  authentic 
mark  of  the  true  university  man  which 
he  had  as  few  have — the  catholic  spirit. 
How  he  pleaded  for  unity  among  the  vari- 
ous Christian  communions  and  for  unity 


among  the  various  sections  of  our  citizen- 
ship. He  reminded  one  of  the  saying  of 
Professor  Blackie  that  he  would  give  his 
right  hand  to  the  Protestants,  his  left  hand 
to  the  Catholics,  his  heart  to  both  but  his 
head  he  would  keep  to  himself;  only 
Doctor  Symonds  did  not  keep  his  head  to 
himself.  But  after  all  has  been  said  he  was 
best  described  as  a  Christian  gentleman — 
a  worthy  son  of  the  University  and  the 
Church.  R.  W.  DICKIE. 


Victoria  Alumni  Association  to  be  Revived 


FOR  some  time  there  has  been  a  very 
pronounced  feeling  among  the  men 
graduates  of  Victoria  College  that 
something  should  be  done  to  revive  the 
Victoria  College  Alumni  Association  which 
became  quiescent  during  the  war.  Definite 
steps  to  this  end  have  now  been  taken.  On 
September  23,  a  group  of  some  twenty 
class  secretaries  and  representatives  met 
and  appointed  an  interim  committee  to 
take  charge  of  a  reunion  banquet  to  be 
held  on  October  13  in  Burwash  Hall. 
Former  students  as  well  as  graduates  are 
invited. 

A  letter  has  been  sent  to  all  the  men 
graduates  of  the  College  announcing  the 
plans  of  the  interim  committee  and  calling 
for  co-operation.  At  the  dinner  it  is 
planned  to  form  an  Alumni  Association 
which  will  keep  the  alumni  in  touch  with 
Victoria  activities  and  work  for  the 
mutual  benefit  of  the  College  and  its 
graduates.  The  committee  thus  expresses 
its  purpose:  "If  there  is  any  campaign  for 
further  financial  assistance  we  want  to  take 
our  part  in  the  organization;  we  want  to 
see  that  we  are  properly  represented  upon 
the  Senate  of  Victoria  College  and  any 
Committees  that  are  appointed.  We  feel 
that  Victoria  College  cannot  afford  to  get 
out  of  touch  with  its  graduates  and  former 
students — and  we  feel  just  as  much  that 
we  cannot — must  not — get  out  of  touch 
with  old  Vic."  It  adds:  "Further  aims 
and  aspirations  will  be  discussed  at  the 
October  13  jamboree". 

Those  who  are  resident  in  Toronto  or  the 
vicinity  are  asked  to  attend  the  banquet, 


and  those  who  are  too  far  removed  for  this 
are  asked  to  show  their  support  by  sending 
messages  and  suggestions. 

To  date,  the  movement  has  been  confined 
to  men  of  more  recent  years.  This  does 
not  mean,  however,  that  the  older  gradu- 
ates are  not  to  be  asked  to  have  a  part  in 
the  organization ;  it  simply  means  that  the 
younger  men  have  taken  upon  themselves 
the  work  of  organizing  the  first  meeting. 

The  members  of  the  Interim  Organiza- 
tion Committee  are  as  follows:  C.  E.  Locke 
Chairman,  C.  B.  Sissons,  J.  V.  McKenzie, 
E.  J.  Pratt,  W.  T.  Brown,  J.  L.  Rutledge,

Annual  Engineering  Reunion,  November  4,  5 


THE    Third    Annual    Reunion    of    the 
Engineering  alumni  will  be  celebrated 
in  true  "  School"  spirit,  Friday  and 
Saturday,  November  4  and  5,  at  the  Uni- 
versity, where  so  many  of  the  graduates' 
lasting  friendships  have  been  made. 

The  call  has  gone  out  in  the  form  of  a 
partial  calendar  which  terminates  with  the 
above  dates.  Up  to  that  time  there  will 
be  days  of  preparation  and  after  that  date 
— well  nothing  matters  until  the  next 
reunion.  Capable  committees  are  working 


C.   E.  MACDONALD 

The  energetic  secretary  of  the  Engineering  Alumni 
Association.  "Chuck"  has  recently  resigned  his 
position  as  sales  manager  of  the  International 
Nickle  Co.  to  handle  the  Canadian  business  of  the 
Electrical  Alloy  Company.  His  address  is  Bank 
of  Hamilton  Blkg.,  Toronto 


on  each  item  of  the  programme  and  each 
committee  is  trying  to  make  its  particular 
part  the  most  successful  feature  of  the 
reunion. 

November  4  might  almost  be  called 
"Ladies  Day".  Starting  at  4  p.m.  there 
is  to  be  an  official  opening  of  the  new 
building  which  is  to  house  the  Electrical 


and  Applied  Mechanics  Departments.  It 
is  expected  that  invitations  will  be  sent  to 
Mr  and  Mrs  Toike  Oike.  Perhaps  in  the 
past  the  graduates  have  been  too  reticent 
about  celebrating  the  opening  of  new 
buildings,  which  might  explain  in  part  why 
the  opportunity  so  seldom  happens.  Let 
us,  therefore,  show  our  appreciation  this 
time  and  see  if  it  has  any  better  result. 

The  dinner  dance  follows  at  7  p.m.  in 
the  Pompeian  Room,  of  the  King  Edward 
Hotel — Romanelli's  orchestra.  In  previous 
years  the  alumni  dance  has  been  spoken  of 
as  one  of  the  most  enjoyable  functions  of 
the  reunion.  Those  who  can't  dance 
should  learn  and  those  who  know  how 
should  not  miss  the  good  time  which  the 
committee  has  arranged. 

Saturday  morning  is  to  be  given  over  to 
the  business  of  the  Association.  Many 
items  of  interest  and  importance  are  to  be 
discussed.  One  of  the  most  important  of 
these  discussions  will  relate  to  the  attitude 
the  Association  will  take  towards  the  pro- 
posed Alumni  Federation  of  the  University 
of  Toronto.  Elections  also  are  essential 
to  the  democratic  control  of  the  Associa- 
tion. 

Nearly  all  of  the  years  are  arranging  to 
hold  class  luncheons  at  noon.  All  plans 
as  to  the  place  and  menu  are  in  the  hands 
of  the  class  executive. 

At  3  o'clock  Queens  vs  Varsity  is  an 
attraction  which  will  be  of  interest  to  the 
alumni.  Last  year  we  had  the  double 
misfortune  of  having  inclement  weather 
and  open  stand  accommodation.  The 
committee  has  arranged  this  year  for 
accommodation  in  the  covered  stand  and 
on  the  "Theory  of  Probability"  we  should 
get  fair  weather. 

After  the  game  there  will  be  a  reception 
and  tea  where  Mr  and  Mrs  Toike  Oike,  or 
Mr  Toike  Oike  and  Mrs  Toike  Oike  to  be, 
will  have  the  chance  of  getting  acquainted 
with  the  other  members  of  the  large  family. 

The  banquet  at  Hart  House  at  7.30  p.m. 
is  the  focusing  point  of  the  reunion.  That 
there  will  be  a  large  crowd  present  is 
certain.  That  we  will  have  accommodation 
for  all  who  want  to  come  is  doubtful.  Two 
men  of  outstanding  international  reputa- 
tion are  being  secured  as  speakers,  and  a 
suitable  and  appropriate  entertainment  will 
be  given.

SCHOOLMAN'S  CALENDAR 


U.  C.  Alumni  to  Hold  Organization  Reunion  on  Oct.  28 


ON  Thursday,  September  22,  thirty-five 
graduates  of  Universjty  College, 
chiefly  presidents  and  secretaries  of 
classes,  met  for  dinner  in  Hart  House,  and 
launched  a  movement  to  form  an  alumni 
organization  of  the  College.  The  meeting 
was  presided  over  by  Harry  Gooderham, 
secretary  of  the  1900  Class. 

Canon  Cody  was  the  first  speaker.  He 
outlined  the  history  of  Univers  ty  College, 
telling  of  how  from  being  the  sole  teaching 
body  of  the  University  of  Toronto,  the 
College  had,  through  the  developments 
following  Federation,  become  simply  one 
of  a  number  of  Arts  Colleges.  Not  only 
this  but  the  College  had  lost  its  habitation. 
What  was  historically  University  College 
had  now  become  the  Main  Building,  with 
a  very  large  proportion  of  its  space  taken 
up  by  administration  offices.  College 
classes  were  being  relegated  to  abandoned 
kitchens  and  sculleries,  and  to  rooms  in 
medical,  science,  and  other  buildings.  It 
was  small  wonder,  he  declared,  that  the 
students  of  University  College  had  lost 
their  sense  of  solidarity. 

This  condition,  he  said,  was  affecting  ad- 
versely, the  whole  University.  University 
College  being  the  state's  chief  effort  in 
Arts  education,  the  success  of  the  entire 
Federation  system  depended  on  its  stan- 
dard. Not  only  for  the  good  of  University 
College,  but  also  for  the  well  being  of  the 
whole  University,  the  College  must  be 
restored  to  its  original  building. 

Dr  Cody  also  laid  emphasis  on  the  need 
of  residences  for  University  College.  The 
friendships  and  associations  resulting  from 
residence  life,  he  declared,  were  among  the 
finest  benefits  of  unive  sity  education. 
The  other  Arts  Colleges  all  had  dormitories 
in  which  to  house  their  students,  and  he 
hoped  that  in  the  very  near  future  Univer- 
sity College  might  have  suitable  residence 
buildings  for  both  men  and  women 
students. 

Referring  to  the  need  of  an  organization 
of  University  College  graduates  to  have 
at  heart  the  interests  of  the  College,  Dr 
Cody  said  that  he  believed  the  best  type 
of  cosmopolitanism  was  impossible  without 
strong  local  patriotism.  College  loyalty 
would  increase  University  loyalty.  He  felt 
confident  that  the  graduates  of  University 
College  would  rally  to  their  College  at  this 


time  when  their  interest  and  active  assist- 
ance were  so  much  needed. 

Angus  MacMurchy,  K.C.,  spoke  next, 
likening  University  College  to  the  pelican, 
fabled  to  nourish  its  young  with  its  own 
blood.  University  College,  the  mother  of 
all,  had  sacrificed  herself  for  the  benefit  of 
other  parts  of  the  University. 

He  spoke  of  the  work  of  the  University 
Alumni  Association  and  the  necessity  of 
becoming  incorporated,  which  arose 
through  the  Memorial  Fund  project.  While 
this  incorporation  was  being  effected  it  had 
been  deemed  advisable  to  re-organize  the 
Association  to  a  certain  extent  with  a  view 
to  securing  the  organic  co-operation  of 
alumni  organizations  existing  in  the 
Colleges  and  Faculties.  The  general 
scheme  was  that  each  College  and  Faculty 
should  have  an  association  to  be  concerned 
directly  with  the  affairs  of  the  various  units 
of  the  University,  and  that  these  should  be 
united  in  a  Federation. 

In  closing  he  made  an  appeal  for  the  dis- 
interested service  of  the  graduates.  "  Noth- 
ing prospers",  he  declared,  "without 
sacrifice". 

Following  brief  addresses,  supporting  the 
idea  of  a  University  College  Alumni  Associ" 
ation,  by  Daniel  O'Connell,  '90,  Magis- 
trate J.  Edmund  Jones,  '88,  W.  A.  Lam- 
port, '88,  and  D.  B.  Gillies,  '03,  a  general 
discussion  took  place.  It  was  decided  that 
a  general  meeting  should  be  held  as  soon 
as  possible  and  a  definite  organization 
effected.  The  consensus  of  opinion  was 
that  the  best  method  of  securing  a  good 
attendance  would  be  to  secure  the  co- 
operation of  the  class  secretaries.  A  com- 
mittee was  then  appointed  to  arrange  for 
such  a  meeting,  to  draft  a  constitution,  end 
to  suggest  officers  for  the  organization. 

The  members  of  the  committee  are: 
Daniel  O'Connell,  '90 ;  A.  F.  Barr,  '96 ;  H.  F. 
Gooderham,  '00;  Professor  E.  F.  Burton, 
'01;  Rev.  J.  B.  Paulin,  '04;  W.  S.  Wallace, 
'06 ;  Dr  Frank  Hassard, '  10 ;  Alex.  Marshall, 
'12;  R.  G.  McClelland,  '14;  W.  J.  Mc- 
Kenna,  '16;  C.  C.  Downey,  '19;  G.  D. 
Little,  '21. 

The  meeting  will  take  the  form  of  a 
dinner  and  smoker  in  Hart  House  on  the 
evening  preceeding  the  Varsity-McGill 
game — Friday,  October  28.

Book  Reviews 


The  Revd.  John  Stuart,  D.D.,  U.E.L.,  of  Kingston, 
U.C.  and  his  family,  pp.  64,  and  The  Parish  Register 
of  Kingston,  Upper  Canada,  1785-1811,  pp.  207,  by 
A.  H.  Young  of  Trinity  College,  Toronto.  (The 
Whig  Press,  Kingston,  1921.) 

The  two  books  from  the  pen  of  Professor  A.  H. 
Young  ((U.  '87)  which  have  just  appeared  will  be 
received  with  the  greatest  satisfaction  by  all  those 
i  nterested  in  the  history  of  the  Province  of  Ontario. 
As  we  are  informed  by  the  author,  the  books  are 
"a  by-product,  so  to  speak,  of  studies  for  the  Life 
of  Bishop  Strachan,  which  is  presently  to  appear". 
The  chief  character  of  the  books  is  "the  Rev  John 
Stuart,  the  first  missionary  of  the  Church  of  England 
in  this  Province",  who  was  Rector  of  Kingston  from 
1788  to  1811,-  and  since  Dr  Stuart  was  a  remarkable 
man  and  Kingston 'was  an  important  place,  the 
persons  we  meet  are  interesting  individuals.  Mili- 
tary men,  Naval  officers,  judges,  members  of  the 
Legislature,  doctors,  merchants,  etc.,  all  pass  before 


us,  and  by  the  author's  sympathetic  treatment  they 
seem  to  live  again.  The  notes  contain  a  most  re- 
markable collection  of  information  regarding  the 
numerous  descendants  of  Dr  Stuart.  And  it  was  no 
ordinary  family.  In  it  are  to  be  found  the  names  of 
some  of  the  most  distinguished  citizens  of  Ontario 
and  of  other  Provinces  of  Canada.  The  smaller 
volume  contains  also  a  sermon  by  Dr  Stuart 
preached  on  April  1,  1793,  and  another  by  Dr  John 
Strachan,  on  August  25,  1811,  at  Kingston,  on  the 
death  of  Dr  Stuart. 

In  the  larger  volume  there  is  an  extremely  well- 
made  index  of  all  the  proper  names  in  the  book, 
which  will  be  consulted  with  profit  by  all  those' 
interested  in  Canadian  history.  The  quality  of  the 
work  in  these  two  volumes  is  so  high  that  we  are 
impatient  to  enjoy  the  good  things  which  we  shall 
find  in  the  Life  of  John  Strachan,  now  promised  us 
by  Professor  Young.

Montreal  Toike  Oikes  Dine 

On  June  24  the  Toike  Oikes  of  Montreal  gave  a 
dinner  in  honour  of  the  four  Engineering  graduates 
on  whom  the  University  has  conferred  the  honorary 
degree  of  Doctor  of  Science,  namely,  T.  Kennard 
Thomson,  George  H.  Duggan,  R.  A.  Ross,  and  J.  M. 
R.  Fairbairn. 

The  retiring  President,  J.  M.  Robertson  occupied 
the  Chair.  Harold  S.  Rolph  took  charge  after  his 
appointment  as  president,  and  H.  W.  Fairlie  as 
secretary-treasurer  of  the  Association.  W.  J.  Francis 
was  then  called  upon  to  act  as  toast-master. 

The  toast  of  "It"  was  proposed  by  Arthur  Sur- 
veyor, one  of  the  Governors  of  the  University  of 
Montreal,  who  referred  to  the  bonne  entente  that 
existed  between  the  two  Universities  and  the  honours 
conferred  on  Sir  George  Garneau  and  Premier 
Taschereau  recently.  The  Rev  Dr  Dickie,  replying, 
said  the  honours  conferred  were  an  evidence  of  the 
growing  appreciation  of  the  life  of  Quebec  province 
by  Varsity.  In  recent  years  they  had  come  to 
realize  the  solidity  of  the  social  structure  of  the 
people  of  Quebec  which  was  somewhat  envied  by 
other  provinces.  Walter  J.  Francis  proposed 
the 


'Them",  paying  tribute  to  the  engineering  skill  of 


the  four  Doctors  of  Science  and  to  the  honour  done 
the  profession  by  the  University  of  Toronto  in 
conferring  the  degrees.  Mr  Francis  briefly  reviewed 
the  history  of  each  of  the  guests  from  the  time  they 
graduated  from  the  School  of  Practical  Science,  and 
each  one  made  a  brief  speech  in  reply,  after  having 
been  introduced  by  humorous  slides  on  the  screen. 
Professor  C.  McKergow,  of  McGill,  proposed 
"Us",  and  spoke  of  the  esteem  in  which  McGill 
graduates  held  the  three  engineers  in  Montreal 
who  had  been  honoured  by  Varsity.  President 
Rolph  briefly  replied  and  the  remainder  of  the  even- 
ing was_ pleasantly  passed  in  singing  Varsity  songs, 
concluding  with  Auld  Lang  Syne  and  the  National 
Anthem. 

The  Arts  Reunions 

During  the  past  few  years  Hart  House  has  been 
the  scene  of  many  splendid  graduate  re-unions,  but 
none  finer  or  more  enjoyable  than  the  Arts'  gather- 
ing held  on  the  evening  of  June  10.  The  classes 
represented  ranged  from  1863  to  1916  and  included 
University  College  classes  of  1876,  1881,  1886,  1888 
1895,  1896,  1900,  1901,  1906,  1916,  and  Victoria 
College  classes  of  1881,  1896,  1901,  1906,  1911,  and 
1916.  At  dinner  the  Great  Hall  was  filled  to 
capacity  and  the  Faculty  Union  Dining-room  used 
for  the  overflow.  Following  dinner  brief  addresses 
were  made  by  Sir  John  Gibson,  Sir  William  Mulock, 
Sir  Robert  Falconer  and  Mr  Justice  Masten,  after 
which  the  classes  adjourned  to  various  rooms  in 
Hart  House  for  class  meetings. 

The  1863  Class  of  University  College  held  the 
place  of  honour  at  the  head  table  in  the  centre  of 
which  was  a  large  floral  "1863".  Sir  John  Gibson 
and  Sir  William  Mulock  were  hosts  of  those  in  this 
group  which  included:  Sir  Robert  Falconer,  Sir 
William  Meredith,  Sir  Edmund  Walker,  Sir  A.  B. 
Aylesworth,  Sir  Walter  Cassels,  Rev  George  Grant, 
Messrs  E,dgar  Frisby,  H.  B.  Spotton,  H.  H.  Langton,

University  College  Class  of  1896 

Thirty-four  members  of  the  Class  of  '96  cele- 
brated the  twenty-fifth  anniversary  of  graduation 
when  they  dined  together  in  the  Great  Hall  of  Hart 
House  on  the  evening  of  Commencement  Day.  As 
many  more  had  written  expressing  their  regrets  at 
their  inability  to  join  in  the  festivities.  The  Right 
Honourable  Arthur  Meighen,  who  was  then  on  his 
way  to  England  to  the  Imperial  Conference,  did  not 
forget  his  classmates  and  sent  a  wireless  from  the 
steamer  in  mid  ocean.  J.  S.  McLean,  who,  too,  on 
his  way  to  England  on  the  same  vessel,  also  sent 
his  greetings  by  wireless.

After  dinner  the  members  gathered  in  the  library 
and  spent  the  evening  recalling  incidents  of  their 
college  days  and  exchanging  information  regarding 
some  of  the  absent  members.  There  was  a  unani- 
mous desire  to  have  a  re-union  every  year  on  the

part  of  the  evening  was  spent  with  the  '01  U.C. 
Class,  and  following  this  the  Class  adjourned  to 
another  room  and  heard  messages  from  absent 
members  and  accounts  of  what  the  class  members 
present  were  doing.  Later  in  the  evening,  the  Class 
went  in  a  body  to  Annssley  Hall  to  the  reception  to 
graduates.  During  the  summer,  Dr  and  Mrs  E.  A.

Montreal  Plans  Dinner 

The  Montreal  alumni  are  planning  big  things  for 
the  week  end,  October  14  and  15.  On  the  evening 
of  the  14th  the  annual  meeting  and  dinner  will  be 
held  in  the  Windsor  Hotel.  It  is  expected  that  Sir 
Robert  Falconer  will  be  the  principal  speaker  and 
that  there  will  be  two  or  three  other  guests  of 
prominence  in  university  affairs.  It  is  anticipated 
that  a  number  of  the  Varsity  men  from  outside 
points  will  be  on  hand  as  the  Varsity- McGill  football 
game  is  to  be  played  the  following  day. 

The  football  game  on  Saturday  afternoon,  October 
15,  is  to  be  one  of  the  feature  events  of  McGill's  big 
Centennial  Reunion.  Before  the  game  the  Montreal 
Alumni  Branch  will  organize  a  demonstration  in 
which  a  parade  and  decorative  features  will  play 
an  important  part.  The  Athletic  Directorate  of 
the  University  is  co-operating  and  assisting.  A 
special  section  of  700  of  the  best  seats  in  the  Molson 
Stadium  have  been  set  aside  for  Varsity  supporters. 
Graduates  from  points  outside  of  Montreal  who 
wish  to  attend  either  the  banquet  or  the  football 
game,  should  notify  Mr  Roy  Campbell,  355  Beaver 
Hall  Square,  Montreal. 


W.  H.  Henderson  succumbs  to  long  illness 

The  late  W.  H.  Henderson,  B.A.  (U.C.)  '06  died 
at  Rockton  on  Saturday,  September  J7.  He  had 
been  ailing  for  some  time,  having  been  obliged  to 
resign  from  the  secretaryship  of  the  Halifax 
Y.M.C.A.  nearly  a  year  ago.  Mr  Henderson  was 
for  some  years  engaged  in  Y.M.C.A.  work  in 
Montreal,  first  as  director  of  educational  work  and 
later  as  general  secretary  of  the  Central  Branch. 
His  pleasing  personality  and  his  genius  for  friend- 
ship endeared  him  to  a  very  wide  circle  of  friends. 


Dr  Gallic  receives  important

Dr  W.  E.  Gallic,  '03,  has  been  appointed  head  of 
the  Surgical  department  at  the  Hospital  for  Sick

his  new  post  having  had  an  extensive  experience 
in  hospital  Surgery.  From  1903  until  1906  he  served 
as  house  surgeon  in  hospitals  in  Toronto  and  New 
York.  In  1906  he  was  appointed  to  the  Surgical 
staff  of  the  Hospital  for  Sick  Children  in  Toronto 
and  shortly  after  to  the  staff  of  the  Toronto  General 
Hospital.  From  1915  until  1917  he  was  in  charge  of

Notes  by  Classes 

'72  M.  There  has  recently  been  published  in  the 
Fortnightly  Review  an  essay  by  the  late  John 
Crozier,  LL.D.,  entitled  "The  Key  to  Emerson". 
The  essay  was  written,  probably  about  1888  but  was 
never  published,  although  the  author  considered  it 
his  most  thoughtful  piece  of  work.  It  is  an  attempt 
to  rehabilitate  and  vindicate  the  Concord  philo- 
sopher. 

'75  U.C.  At  the  convention  of  the  Canadian  Bar 
Association  held  in  Ottawa  in  September,  the  presi- 
dential address  was  delivered  by  Sir  James  Aikins, 
lieutenant-governor  of  Manitoba  and  president  of 
the  Association. 

'78  U.C.  During  Old  Home  Week  at  Walkerton,

there  and  who  has  just  retired.

LOANS  WELL  Honorary    Treasurer 

of       the       Memorial 

Fund,  of  October  15,  shows  a  most  en- 
couraging condition  in  regard  to  the  repay- 
ment of  loans.  There  are  no  notes  overdue, 
and  already  $9,525  has  been  repaid  by 
members  of  the  1920  and  1921  graduating 
classes.  The  majority  of  the  1920  men 
have  paid  in  full  their  debt  to  the  fund,  and 
$1,600  has  been  returned  by  graduates  of 
last  June. 

In  spite  of  the  unfavourable  earning  con- 
ditions of  the  past  summer  and  the  fact  that 
there  are  still  in  the  neighbourhood  of  1,200 
ex-service  men  attending  the  University, 
the  demands  on  the  Fund  for  the  current 
year  have  been  to  date,  much  lower  than 
last  year. 

Applications  have  been  received  as

As  students  desiring  assistance  are 
asked  to  file  their  applications  by  October 
15,  it  is  not  likely  that  there  will  be  many 
further  requests  this  year. 

The  majority  of  the  applications  come 
from  students  who  entered  the  University 
immediately  following  the  close  of  the  war 
and  are  now  in  the  third  year.  With  the 
graduation  of  the  1923  class,  returned 
soldier-students  wrill  largely  disappear  from 
the  University. 


ROYAL  GIFTS 
RECEIVED  BY 
VICTORIA 
COLLEGE 


Royal  gifts  of  unusual 
magnificence  present- 
ed by  King  George 
were  officially  receiv- 
ed by  Victoria  Col- 
lege on  its  Charter  Day,  October  13,  the 
occasion  of  the  eighty-fourth  anniversary 
of  the  foundation  of  the  College.  The 
gifts  were:  the  Royal  Standard  which  flew 
over  Osborne  Castle  and  which  covered  the 
casket  of  the  late  Queen  Victoria;  a  crown 
from  the  masthead  of  the  Royal  Yacht;  a 
silver  mug  used  by  the  Queen  in  her  child- 
hood days;  and  a  portfolio  of  drawings 
made  by  the  queen  and  Pr'nce  Consort. 
The  gifts  were  unveiled  in  the  presence  of 
a  large  number  of  graduates  and  under- 
graduates. Chancellor  Bowles  in  a  brief 
address  reviewed  the  history  of  the  College 
from  the  time  of  its  foundation  in  1837  as 
the  Upper  Canada  Academy  until  later  in 
the  last  century  when  it  became  affiliated 
with  the  University  of  Toronto. 


ANATOMICAL 

BUILDING 

STARTED 


The  Anatomical 
Building  is  at  last  in 
the  course  of  erection. 
Behind  the  Medical 
Building  and  overlooking  the  heating  plant 
is  a  scene  of  much  commotion  as  the  new 
building  is  gradually  getting  under  way. 
It  is  to  be  five  stories  high  and  its  stone 
front  and  Norman  design,  with  the  rounded 
window  arches  will  present  a  more  pleasing 
appearance  for  the  strollers  in  Queen's 
Park  than  the  unlovely  back  of  the  Medical 
Building. 

There  are  to  be  two  lecture  rooms,  one 
a  very  large  one  with  seating  capacity  for 
about  220, -and  a  smaller  one,  to  hold  about 
100.  The  remainder  of  the  space  will  be 
occupied  mainly  by  laboratories,  a  museum, 
a  library,  and  quarters  for  the  staff.  The 
only  part  of  the  building  that  will  not  be 
devoted  exclusively  to  the  use  of  the 
Anatomy  Department,  will  be  a  suite  of 
rooms  for  experimental  surgery.

UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO  MONTHLY 


The  new  building  is  going  to  seem  a 
palace  to  the  staff  and  students  of  Anat- 
omy. After  the  cramped  and  dingy 
quarters  in  the  Biological  Building  where 
they  have  previously  been  housed,  Pro- 
fessor McMurrich  fears  that  they  will  need 
a  guide-book  to  find  their  way  around  the 
new  Laboratories.  For  many  years  the 
staff  in  Anatomy  have  waited  for  their 
building,  and  during  this  time  they  have 
been  unable  to  increase  their  numbers  or 
to  enlarge  the  work  of  the  department  as 
was  required. 

Owing  to  its  site,  on  the  ravine  over- 
looking the  heating  plant,  it  was  necessary 
to  ensure  an  exceedingly  stable  foundation, 
and  to  dig  some  thirty-odd  feet  down  to  a 
bed  of  clay,  on  which  concrete  pillars  were 
laid,  and  these  pillars  form  the  supports  of 
the  building. 


Doctor  of  Philosophy.  Throughout  his 
long  connection  with  the  University  and 
Victoria  College  he  has  shown  himself  a 
staunch  and  fearless  advocate  of  the 
highest  standards  of  scholarship.  The 
Oxford  Press  will  shortly  publish  for  him 
an  important  work  on  the  interpretation 
of  obscure  passages  in  Latin  Literature.

PROFESSOR 
BELL  RESIGNS 


A.  J.  Bell,  professor 
of  Comparative  Phil- 
ology in  the  Univer- 
sity of  Toronto,  and  John  Macdonald  pro- 
fessor of  Latin  in  Victoria  College,  has 
announced  his  retirement  from  active 
teaching  work.  He  will  henceforth  devote 
his  energies  to  writing. 

Dr  Bell  graduated  from  the  University 
in  1878  and  for  a  short  time  taught  school 
in  St.  Thomas.  He  then  joined  the  Staff 
of  Victoria  University  in  Cobourg.  Later 
he  studied  in  Germany  and  received  from

THE  McGILL 
CENTENARY 


On  October  11  to  15 
McGill  University 
celebrated  the  one 
hundredth  anniversary  of  the  receipt  of  its 
charter  as  an  institution  qualified  to 
organize  higher  educational  work.  Nearly 
fifty  per  cent  of  McGill's  6,000  living 
graduates  were  present  on  the  occasion. 
The  programme  included  class  and  faculty 
reunions,  a  special  convocation  for  the 
installation  of  the  new  Chancellor,  E.  W. 
Beatty,  and  for  the  conferring  of  honorary 
degrees,  lectures  by  members  of  the  staff, 
the  McGill-Varsity  football  game,  and 
other  special  features. 

In  the  will  of  the  Hon.  James  McGill  who 
died  in  1813,  £10,000  and  a  large  tract  of 
land  were  placed  in  trust  for  the  foundation 
of  a  university  or  college  in  Montreal.  A 
Royal  Charter  was  secured  on  March  21, 
1821,  but  it  was  not  until  1829  that  active 
teaching  was  done.  For  twenty-five  years 
teaching  was  confined  chiefly  to  Medicine. 
The  Arts  Faculty  was  established  in  1843 
but  had,  on  the  appointment  of  Sir  William 
Dawson  as  President  in  1855,  only  four 
professors,  a  lecturer,  and  fifteen  students. 
A  Faculty  of  Law  was  established  in  1855 
and  in  1857  a  beginning  was  made  in  the 
organization  of  a  Faculty  of  Science,  but 
the  University  was  greatly  handicapped 
in  these  years  by  lack  of  funds.  Little 
support  had  been  received  from  the  Pro- 
vincial Legislature  and  it  was  not  until  the 
eighties  that  private  munificence  gave  the 
University  an  endowment  nearly  adequate 
for  its  needs.  To-day  McGill  has  some 
4,000  students  in  attendance 
and  courses  are  given  in  all 
branches  of  university  work. 

The  University  of  Toronto 
centenary  falls  in  1927. 


various  problems  of  food  and  diet  are 
discussed,  and  the  laboratory  work,  which 
is  optional  and  limited  to  70,  deals  with 
food  values.  As  a  result  of  its  popularity 
the  course  may  possibly  be  repeated  after 
Christmas. 


The  Marfleet  Lectures  on  the  Evolution 
of  the  Canadian  Constitution  were  deliv- 
ered by  Sir  Robert  Borden  in  Convocation 
Hall  on  October  5,  6,  and  7.  The  first 
lecture  sketched  the  constitutional  de- 
velopment in  Canada  up  to  1867.  The 
second  and  third  dealt  with  the  period 
between  Confederation  to  the  world  war 
and  from  the  beginning  of  the  war  until 
the  present  time,  together  with  specula- 
tions into  Canada's  future.  One  of  the 
noticeable  features  was  Sir  Robert's  de- 
tached and  altogether  unbiased  presenta- 
tion of  a  period  of  history  in  which  he 
himself  as  premier  was  burdened  with  such 
heavy  responsibility. 


The  inauguration  of  the  Literary  and 
Athletic  Society  of  University  College  took 
place  on  October  11  in  West  Hall.  The 
old  "Lit"  is  dead  and  from  its  ashes  has 
arisen  a  new  "Lit"  full  of  the  life  and  vigour 
of  youth.  The  chief  speakers  of  the  evening 
were  the  retiring  Honorary  President, 
Professor  Jackson,  the  new  Honorary 
President,  Professor  Cochrane,  Principal 
Hutton,  and  the  President  of  the  Society, 
F.  L.  Hutchison.  In  all  their  speeches  the 
same  tone  was  manifested — a  belief  that 


A  practical  course  in 
Household  Science  that  may

everyday  life  is  being  offered 
by  the  Extension  Department 
of  the  University  under  the 
direction  of  Miss  A.  L.  Laird. 

Although  it  was  tried  to 
limit  the  registration  to  70, 
about  82  are  at  present  in 
attendance.  In  the  lectures, 
which  are  given  twice  weekly

the  new  Lit,  in  combining  the  literary  and 
athletic  activities  of  the  College  would 
more  adequately  meet  the  needs  of  the 
average  and  the  all-round  student,  who 
should  be  a  combination  of  the  "semi- 
scholastic  and  athletic"  type. 


The  prizes  offered  by  J.  L.  Counsell, 
B.A.  (U.C.)  '97  for  the  Fabian  Competition 
last  year  were  won  by  G.  R.  F.  Troop,  B.A. 
(U.C.)  '21  and  C.  S.  Brubacher,  a  student 


of  the  present  fourth  year.  Arrangements 
are  already  being  made  for  the  competition 
of  1321-22  although  it  is  not  definitely 
known  what  form  the  competition  will 
take,  but  the  announcement  will  be  made 
at  the  earliest  possible  date.  Mr.  Counsell 
was  justly  proud  of  the  work  brought  out 
last  year  and  will  donate  the  same  sub- 
stantial prizes  in  an  effort  to  direct  student 
thought  towards  the  vital  issues  of  the  day 
in  the  Social  and  Economic  world.

The  Need  of  the  Hour 


whom,  if  not  to  its  alumni,  may  a 
1  University  look  for  support  in  the 
hour  of  its  necessity?  At  this  time 
the  University  of  Toronto  requires  the 
help  of  its  Alumni  and  its  Alumnae  more, 
perhaps,  than  ever  before  in  its  history. 

The  Report  of  the  Royal  Commission 
on  University  Finances  which  was  laid 
before  the  Legislature  of  Ontario  at  last 
year's  session  is,  though  it  does  not  recom- 
mend all  that  this  University  needs,  an  ex- 
ceedingly able,  comprehensive,  and  satis- 
factory Report.  Prepared  by  gentlemen 
who  know  the  requirements  as  well  as  the 
possibilities  of  the  three  Universities  con- 
cerned, this  Report  places  the  Provincial 
University  on  the  plane  to  which  its  long 
history  and  its  effective  work  have  entitled 
it;  at  the  same  time  the  Report  deals 
generously  with  the  other  two  Universities 
and  is  quite  satisfactory  to  them. 

No  better  policy  for  the  support  of  higher 
education  in  this  Province  than  that  laid 
down  in  the  Report  has,  as  yet,  been 
enunciated.  Objections  have,  it  is  true, 
been  raised  to  making  the  Provincial 
University  dependent  on  the  revenue  from 
succession  duties,  variable  as  this  revenue 
may  conceivably  be ;  but  the  disadvantages 
of  this  probability  of  variation  have  been 
very  largely  overcome  by  the  system  of 
computation  suggested.  Moreover,  the 
great  advantage  of  this  scheme — an  ad- 
vantage which  overshadows  any  seeming 
disadvantage — is  that  the  University  could 
be  assured  in  advance  of  the  amount  of  its 
income  over  a  period  of  years  and  could 
plan  its  expansion  accordingly.  The  lack 
of  funds  on  which  it  could  rely,  the  im- 
possibility of  planning  for  the  year  ahead, 
the  uncertainty  as  to  probable  revenue — 
these  handicaps  have  retarded  the^develop- 
ment  of  the  University  more  than  most 
people  realize. 

Though  it  was  widely  accepted  through- 
out the  Province,  without  any  serious 
criticism  of  it  in  any  quarter,  and  though 
it  was  accepted  almost  without  reservation 
by  all  three  Universities,  the  Government 
was  obliged,  because  of  lack  of  time  for  its 
consideration,  to  postpone  action  on  the 
Commission's  Report  until  the  session  of 
1922.  Under  all  the  circumstances  it  would 
therefore  seem  advisable  that  the  graduates 
and  friends  of  the  Provincial  University 
should  adopt  as  their  own  the  policy  laid 
down  in  this  Report  and  should  advocate 


it  and  "push"  it  with  their  utmost  energy, 
until  it  has  been  accepted  by  the  Govern- 
ment of  Ontario  or  until  a  better  policy  has 
been  adopted  in  its  stead.  This  is  a  need 
of  the  hour. 

There  is  a  danger  that,  because  the 
Report  is  now  some  months  old,  enthusiasm 
for  its  adoption  may  have  waned.  Such  a 
relaxation  of  effort  would  be  fatal.  The 
people  of  the  Province  must  be  supplied 
with  complete  information  so  that  their 
support  of  the  University's  position  may 
be  secured.  No  Government  can  go 
beyond  public  opinion — but  the  alumni 
of  the  University  can  mould  an  intelligent 
public  opinion.  This,  again,  is  a  need  of 
the  hour. 

When  a  friend  of  the  University  of 
Toronto  discusses  with  one  unfamiliar 
with  present  conditions  the  urgent  needs 
that  are  now  so  hampering  the  University's 
development,  he  may  be  met  with  the 
reply  that  the  Provincial  University  is 
asking  for  a  very  large  sum  of  money.  But 
what  commercial  undertaking,  whether 
farm  or  shop  or  factory,  having  been 
cramped  for  seven  years  and  having  been 
denied  the  means  of  development  necessary 
for"  the  expansion  which  came  upon  us  so 
suddenly  on  the  conclusion  of  the  war, 
would  not  now,  after  such  lean  years,  re- 
quire a  large  sum  for  justifiable  expansion? 
Just  this  is  the  situation  of  our  University; 
it  must  overtake  the  arrearages  in  develop- 
ment that  seven  years  of  inadequate 
revenue  have  brought. 

The  University  of  Toronto  appeals,  then, 
to  its  graduates  and  friends  for  their 
assistance  in  making  known  to  the  citizens 
©f  Ontario,  whose  property  this  University 
is,  the  facts  on  which  its  case  rests.  Gener- 
ally, these  may  be  said  to  be  as  follows: 
need  for  new  buildings,  for  an  increased 
and  better  paid  staff,  and  for  a  larger 
revenue  in  order  that  graduate  and  re- 
search work  may  be  prosecuted  more 
vigorously.  Our  necessities  are  based 
mainly  upon  present  conditions  and  not 
on  prospective  increases  in  numbers.  The 
students  we  have  must  be  provided  for. 
By  raising  our  standards  we  are  limiting  our 
numbers  as  much  as  we  can  safely  do.  At 
present  these  cannot  be  taken  care  of  satis- 
factorily without  additions  to  our  buildings 
and  without  increases  to  the  staff.  There 
is  no  likelihood  that,  even  when  standards 
are  raised,  the  attendance  will  be  reduced

below  what  it  was  before  the  war,  and  at 
that  time  the  accommodation  and  the 
teaching  staff  were  quite  inadequate. 
Should  other  universities  be  developed  and 
new  colleges  be  established,  this  University 
would  not  be  relieved  of  the  necessity  of 
providing  for  the  large  numbers  who  will 
undoubtedly  desire  to  receive  their  educa- 
tion in  the  Provincial  University.  Besides, 
there  is  the  necessity  of  so  providing  for 
the  Provincial  University  that  it  will  not 


be  necessary  for  any  boy  or  girl  of  Ontario 
to  go  to  the  United  States  in  order  to 
obtain  an  education  equal  to  the  best  that 
is  offered  on  this  continent;  also  of  de- 
veloping research  and  graduate  work  if 
we  are  to  maintain  our  self-respect  and 
serve  our  own  people  as  we  should.  This 
means  greatly  enlarged  support  at  the 
present  time.

Victoria's  New  Wesley  Library 


r  I  *O  his  numerous  benefactions  to  the 
1  University  and  other  institutions  of 
the  city  of  Toronto  Sir  John  Eaton 
has  just  added  another  which  makes  Vic- 
toria College  the  proud  and  fortunate 
possessor  of  a  unique  Wesley  Library.  It  is 
not  probable  that  there  exists  anywhere  else 
as  notable  a  collection  of  the  works  of  John 
and  Charles  Wesley,  and  the  probability 
is  very  remote  that  another  collection  will 
ever  be  formed  to  rob  it  of  its  pre-eminence. 
The  Library  consists  of  well-nigh  six 
hundred  publications,  all  of  them  issued 
by  the  Brothers  Wesley  in  their  lifetime. 
The  volumes  are  well  and  beautifully  bound, 
and  with  the  exception  of  a  few — so  small 
a  number  that  they  can  be  counted  on  the- 
ringers  of  both  hands — all  are  first  editions! 
Some  of  them,  it  is  true,  are  tiny  pamphlets 
of  but  few  pages,  needing  the  support  of 
blank  leaves  between  the  boards  to 
enable  them  to  be  bound  in  uniform 
fashion  with  the  less  meagre  members  of 
the  collection.  The  value  of  the  Library, 
however,  is  due  in  no  small  measure  to  the 
presence  of  these  brief  messages  in  the 
form  in  which  they  were  first  issued. 

The  Library  was  formed  by  the  late 
Rev.  Richard  Green,  one  of  the  founders 
of  the  Wesley  Historical  Society  and  well- 
known  for  his  untiring  and  studious  re- 
search into  all  matters  pertaining  to  the 
Wesleys  and  their  writings.  For  twelve 
years  he  was  Governor  of  Didsbury 
College,  Manchester,  retiring  in  1900  and 
passing  the  remaining  seven  years  of  his 
life  in  his  native  city  of  Birmingham, 
where  the  Wesley  Library,  to  the  collecting 
of  which  much  of  the  time  and  thought  of 
his  best  years  had  been  devoted,  had  its 
home  up  to  the  time  of  its  recent  trans- 
ference to  Toronto.  Mr.  Green  published 


a  Bibliography  of  the  Works  of  John  and 
Charles  Wesley — a  volume  of  three  hun- 
dred pages — which  is  virtually  a  descrip- 
tive catalogue  of  the  Library  now  housed 
in  Victoria  College. 

A  vast  majority  of  the  six  hundred  vol- 
umes are  from  the  pen  of  John  Wesley,  and 
a  mere  glance  at  them  as  they  stand  on 
their  shelves  brings  home  to  one  the 
astounding  industry  of  the  great  eighteenth 
century  reformer.  Had  his  whole  time 
been  spent  in  writing,  the  output  would 
have  been  amazing;  but  when  we  remind 
ourselves  of  his  never-ceasing  journeymgs, 
his  incessant  preaching,  the  multifarious 
and  oftentimes  harassing  details  of  admin- 
istration making  their  demands  upon  his 
time  and  attention  the  amount  of  his 
literary  work  is  almost  staggering. 

With  equal  force  the  Library  brings 
home  to  us  the  amazing  versatility  of 
John  Wesley.  In  addition  to  his  more 
directly  religious  writings  here  are  works 
bearing  such  varied  titles  as  Primitive 
Physick,  The  Cause  and  Cure  of  Earth- 
quakes, A  Compendium  of  Logick,  Thoughts 
on  the  Present  Scarcity  of  Provisions,  A 
Short  Roman  History,  A  Concise  History  of 
England,  An  Estimate  of  the  Manners  of 
the  Present  Times;  here  are  also  short 
Hebrew,  Greek,  Latin  and  French  Gram- 
mars. Wesley's  writings  touched  the  life 
of  eighteenth  century  England  at  almost 
every  point,  and  in  them  all  his  sole  purpose 
was  the  elevation  of  the  people.  His 
record  of  industrious  self-devotion  is  per- 
haps unparalleled  in  the  history  of  man- 
kind. The  presence  of  this  Library  at 
Victoria  cannot  fail  to  make  for  the  en- 
richment of  the  life  of  the  University.

Freshmen,  Yesterday  and  To-Day 

An  Address  to  the  First  Year 


I  CAN  look  back  over  forty  years  of  fresh- 
men now.  What  differences  are  there? 
The  differences  are  due  to  political 
conditions,  chiefly  to  the  growth  of  de- 
mocracy and  the  spread  of  public  and 
general  education.  The  growth  of  de- 
mocracy has  increased  very  greatly  the 
attendance  at  University  College.  Forty 
years  ago,  perhaps  the  number  340  repre- 
sents fairly  well  the  attendance  of  men  in 
all  years,  and  there  were  no  women. 
To-day  there  are  600  men  alone  registered 
in  the  College  and  almost  as  many  women. 
Democracy  like  every  other  system  and 
like  every  individual  soul  has  the  qualities 
of  its  defects  and  the  defects  of  its  quali- 
ties. What  are  the  qualities  of  its  defects? 
The  aristocratic  vices — the  vices  of  an 
upper  class  with  money  to  burn — are  not 
conspicuous.  There  is  no  drinking  com- 
pared with  what  there  was,  and  this  is 
not  due  wholly  or  solely  to  the  enforced 
temperance  of  Ontario.  Enforced  tem- 
perance is  not  a  very  valuable  virtue 
obviously,  nor  a  very  safe  virtue;  it  is 
easily  upset  by  "opportunity,"  if  oppor- 
tunity arises.  Some  people  have  said, 
"there  is  no  such  thing  as  virtue;  it  is 
only  want  of  opportunity."  They  would 
say  that  this  temperance  of  our  students 
was  only  lack  of  opportunity;  but  it  is 
not  so.  I  have  seen  the  spirit  of  temper- 
ance promoted  by  the  undergraduates 
against  the  graduate  element  during  the 
last  twenty  years  and  before  temperance 
was  compulsory.  Temperance  was  due 
to  the  prevalence  of  a  class  not  influenced 
by  aristocratic  vices.  "As  drunk  as  a 
lord,"  illustrates  what  I  mean.  Our  stud- 
ents are  less  and  less  like  lords;  for  better 
or  for  worse,  alike — less  lordly.  "Every 
gentleman  has  been  drunk;  no  gentleman 
gets  drunk"  is  another,  more  subtle  and 
less  equivocal,  aristocratic  maxim.  I  have 
often  winced  when  I  heard  it.  I  have 
been  too  busy  with  books  and  thoughts 
to  have  had  time  to  become  a  gentleman, 
and  now  it  looks  as  if  I  should  never  have 
the  opportunity.  I  think  our  students 
are  more  temperate  and  virtuous  in  this 
matter  of  temperance — more  temperate 
in  all  branches  of  temperance — than  their 
predecessors  forty  years  ago.  This  is 
all  to  the  good.  All  temperance  is  good 
though  compulsory  temperance  is  an

inferior  goodness.  But  no  human  system 
is  wholly  good.  Every  system  has  the 
defects  of  its  qualities  and  now  I  come  to 
the  drawbacks  of  our  system. 

The  defects  of  its  qualities!  A  democ- 
cracy  is  governed  by  the  average  man  with 
his  defects  no  less  than  his  qualities. 
It  is  not  likely  to  have  aristocratic  vices; 
or  to  have  aristocratic  virtues.  The  virtues 
of  a  university  are  rather  aristocratic — 
the  virtues  of  a  leisured  class — such  as 
thought,  reading  and  intellectual  interests. 
I  don't  say  intellectual  power;  intellectual 
power  may  be  equally  distributed  in  all

classes  and  orders,  professions  and  occu- 
pations; but  reading,  thought,  and  in- 
tellectual interests  are  not  equally  dis- 
tributed, and  are  not  very  common 
especially  in  a  material  age  and  in  a  young 
country  developing  its  material  wealth. 
I  think  intellectual  standards  are  lower 
than  they  were  forty  years  ago.  I  think 
our  students  read  less,  know  less,  and  are 
less  accustomed  to  thinking  seriously; 
have  less  intellectual  interests.  They  read 
newspapers  instead  of  books,  and  they 
prefer  social  functions  even  to  the  poor 
reading  supplied  by  our  second-rate  news- 
papers. 

A  democracy  is  the  government  of  the 
average  man.  He  is  a  simpler  and  more 
childish  creature  than  the  men  of  an 
upper  class  who  have  seen  more  of  the 
world,  travelled  more,  read  more,  thought 
more,  Our  students  are  much  more  child- 
ish than  their  predecessors.  They  are 
boys  and  girls;  their  predecessors  some- 
times called  themselves  "the  boys,"  but 
they  were  men  mainly  in  mind,  for  good 
or  for  evil. 

I  will  take  an  illustration.  I  wish  you 
would  remember  it  next  year  when  you 
are  sophomores — though  I  don't  suppose 
one  among  you  knows  what  "sophomore" 
means  and  yet  you  ought  to  know,  for  it 
is  not  half  as  Greek  as  it  looks.  You  are 
not  really  much  handicapped  for  knowing 
it  by  your  ignorance  of  Greek.  It  is  as 
much  English  as  it  is  Greek.  Yet,  I 
venture  to  guess  that  no  one  of  you  knows. 

The  initiations  of  forty  years  ago  were 
just  as  violent — more  violent — than  those 
of  to  day  but  they  were  much  less  childish 
and  silly ;  much  less  vulgar  and  democratic. 

In  this  matter  of  initiation  our  men  have 
become  women  I  feel  inclined  to  say — 
interested  in  clothes  and  hats — and  our 
women  foolish  children  practising  nursery 
"stunts."  And  though  present  fashions 
of  initiation  are  in  some  way  better  than 
the  old — less  violent — they  are  rather 
worse  in  another  way — more  silly,  more 
vulgar,  and  also  so  much  more  public  and 
spectacular.  In  this  age  of  false  publicity 
and  excessive  organization  and  foolish 
propaganda  and  inordinate  social  functions, 
more  people  are  offended  and  scandalized 
by  University  initiations  than  ever  were 


offended  in  the  old  days  when  these  things 
were  not  thrust  upon  their  notice,  but  were 
kept  quiet  and  not  obtruded. 

Only  very  fresh  freshmen  were  offended 
in  the  old  days.  To-day  all  freshmen  and 
still  more  all  "freshettes"  may  be  offended, 
and  the  great  public.  Many  mature  men 
and  women  are  offended  and  the  University 
loses  caste  and  many  people  scoff  at  it  as 
only  a  silly  school  of  children.  The  whole 
age,  the  whole  world  is  supremely  silly. 
Look  at  Charlie  Chaplin's  reception  in 
London.  But  a  University  is  expected  to 
be  less  silly  than  a  big  city  of  four  million 
people,  two  million  of  whom  do  not  know 
their  right  hand  from  their  left,  and  are 
prepared  to  go  out  into  the  wilderness, 
that  is,  into  the  streets,  after  any  false 
prophet  however  cheap. 

I  will  make  one  more  observation  about 
these  initiations.  If  you  only  knew  a 
little  more  biology  you  would  drop  them. 
They  have  no  real  occasion  in  this  country. 
There  is  a  biological  -law  that  each  indi- 
vidual goes  through  very  briefly  and 
quickly  and  even  before  birth  the  stages 
through  which  his  ancestors  have  passed 
slowly.  Initiation  in  the  United  States 
is  an  illustration  of  that  biological  law. 
That  country  is  based  on  insurrection. 
It  was  born  in  insurrection.  Every  gener- 
ation of  students  therefore,  when  it  comes 
first  to  college  starts  rebelling  against  the 
other  students — against  the  second,  third 
and  fourth  years,  and  has  to  be  reduced 
to  order.  Hence  the  elaborate  initiations 
of  the  United  States — very  violent  some- 
times, very  foolish  often,  but  yet  explicable 
biologically.  This  country  which  did  not 
arise  out  of  insurrection  but  even  in  some 
measure  out  of  the  opposite — out  of 
respect  for  old  ties;  out  of  affection  for 
old  memories ;  this  country  had  no  occasion 
to  expect  insurrection  from  its  freshmen 
and  no  need  for  elaborate  repression. 
It  is  all  a  foolishness  here  with  no  historical 
explanation  or  historical  justification;  just 
an  uncalled  for  and  quite  unnecessary 
imitation  of  the  United  States;  just  a 
gratuitous  piece  of  folly  for  us;  just  a 
"superfluity  of  naughtiness"  in  the  lan- 
guage of  theology.

Graduate  Organizations  in  the  University  of  Toronto 


HPHE  importance  of  graduate  organiza- 
1  tions  in  the  life  of  a  university  is 
very  great,  and  their  complete  history 
in  the  University  of  Toronto  would  be 
most  interesting.  Such  a  work  ought  to 
be  undertaken  and  some  day,  perhaps, 
someone  brave  enough  to  face  it  may  be 
found.  In  the  present  paper,  however, 
no  such  ambitious  enterprise  is  contem- 
plated. Attention  will  not  now  be  directed 
to  the  mere  special  groupings  of  graduates 
as  we  find  them  in  fraternities,  in  the 
various  faculties,  and  in  federating  colleges, 
but  we  shall  confine  ourselves  to  such 
organizations  as  Convocation  and  the  more 
comprehensive  Alumni  Associations. 

The  royal  charter  granted  by  King 
George  IV,  dated  at  Westminster,  March 
15,  1827,  the  parchment  original  of  which 
•is  in  the  Bursar's  possession,  and  a  copy 
of  which  may  be  found  in  the  Journal  of 
the  House  of  Assembly  of  Upper  Canada 
for  1828,  contains  a  clause  providing  for 
the  institution  of  a  body  to  be  called  Con- 
vocation. Convocation  was  to  be  com- 
posed of  the  Chancellor,  President  and 
Professors,  and  all  those  who  had  been 
admitted  to  the  degree  of  Master  of  Arts, 
or  to  any  degree  in  Divinity,  Law,  or 
Medicine,  and  who  had  paid  an  annual 
fee  of  twenty  shillings,  sterling  money.  The 
members  of  Convocation  were  to  enjoy 
the  like  privileges  as  were  enjoyed  by  the 
members  of  the  Convocation  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  Oxford. 

In  the  University  Acts  passed  subse- 
quently, up  to  the  year  1853,  these  pro- 
visions were  retained.  But  in  the  Act  of 
that  year  all  reference  to  the  rights  of 
graduates  in  Convocation  disappears. 

For  twenty  years  the  law  was  silent  re- 
garding Convocation.  But  in  this  period 
there  were  important  changes  in  the  situa- 
tion of  the  University.  It  was  gradually 
acquiring  strength  in  numbers  of  students 
and  of  graduates,  and  although  they  had 
no  legally  authorized  organization  they 
seem  to  have  made  their  influence  felt 
when  they  thought  there  was  need  of 
action.  For  instance  in  the  year  1862 
there  was  activity  amongst  the  graduates 
under  the  leadership  of  men  like  Edward 
Blake  (B.A.  1854)  in  opposing  the  adoption 
of  the  Report  of  the  Royal  Commission, 
consisting  of  the  Hon.  James  Patton,  Dr 
John  Beatty,  and  Mr  John  Paton,  which 
recommended  that  the  endowment  of  the 


University  should  be  shared  with  the 
denominational  colleges.  Later,  in  1866 
and  in  1872  there  were  meetings  of  gradu- 
ates and  the  formation  of  organizations 
for  the  purpose  of  impressing  upon  Parlia- 
ment the  needs  of  the  University. 

In  the  second  parliament  of  the  Ontario 
Legislature,  elected  in  1871,  there  was  a 
group  of  able  and  active  graduates  who 
made  themselves  felt  in  University  affairs. 
During  the  session  of  1873,  the  Hon.  Adam 
Crooks  (B.A.  1852),  at  that  time  Pro- 
vincial Treasurer  and  later  Minister  of 
Education  (1876-1883),  brought  in  a  Bill 
to  amend  the  University  Act.  One  of  the 
principal  items  of  the  bill  was  that  relating 
to  the  resuscitation  of  Convocation.  In 
his  speech  on  the  second  reading  of  the 
bill  (Jan.  21,  1873)  he  stated  in  reply  to 
an  objection  of  Mr  A.  W.  Lauder,  who 
claimed  that  the  graduates  did  not  desire 
the  change,  that  in  1866  and  also  in  1872 
this  very  amendment  had  been  asked  for 
by  a  Graduates'  Association.  Mr  Crooks 
was  ably  supported  in  the  debate  by  such 
graduates  as  Mr  James  Bethune  (LL.B. 
1861),  Mr  H.  M.  Deroche  (B.A.  1868), 
and  Mr  Thomas  Hodgins  (B.A.  1856, 
LL.B.  1858).  The  bill  was  supported 
also  by  the  Hon.  Oliver  Mowat,  at  that 
time  Attorney  General  and  leader  of  the 
Government. 

The  bill  passed  the  House  and  received 
the  royal  assent,  March  29.  But,  although 
there  seemed  to  be  enthusiasm  amongst 
the  graduates  at  this  attempt  to  •  popu- 
larize the  government  of  the  University, 
very  little  came  of  the  movement,  except 
the  direct  election  of  the  Chancellor  and 
a  certain  number  of  members  of  the  Senate 
by  the  alumni.  There  was  no  devolution 
of  the  powers  of  the  Provincial  Govern- 
ment to  the  Senate,  or  other  body,  in 
matters  pertaining  to  university  finance. 
All  appointments  to  the  Staff  remained 
in  the  hands  of  the  Government  and  after 
1876  these  appointments  were  made  on 
the  recommendation  of  the  Minister  of 
Education,  naturally  generally  after  consul- 
tation with  the  President,  Chancellor,  and 
Vice-Chancellor,  or  other  persons  who 
might  have  the  confidence  of  the  Minister 
or  his  colleagues.  It  apparently  did  not 
occur  to  the  Legislature  that  it  made  little 
difference  how  the  Senate  was  elected,  in 
so  far  as  its  effect  on  the  minds  of  the 
graduates  was  concerned.

But  there  were  other  clauses  in  this  Act 
which  were  intended  to  give  the  alumni 
an  opportunity  to  organize  themselves 
and  thus  bring  their  influence  to  bear  on 
"the  well-being  and  prosperity  of  the 
University".  Provision  was  made  for 
the  appointment  of  a  Chairman  and  Clerk 
of  Convocation,  and  it  was  enacted  that, 
"once  at  least  in  every  year,  and  as  often 
as  they  may  think  fit,  the  Senate  shall 
convene  a  meeting  of  Convocation". 

But  in  spite  of  what  seemed  wise  and 
liberal  provisions,  practically  nothing  was 
done  to  make  Convocation  a  real  force 
in  the  life  of  the  University.  It  is  true 
that  Convocation  was  organized  and  met 
June  10,  1873,  with  thirty-two  persons 
present  and  proceeded  to  elect  the  Hon. 
Thomas  Moss  (B.A.  1858)  Chairman,  and 
Mr  W.  Fitzgerald  (B.A.  1866)  Clerk  of 
Convocation,  and  in  subsequent  years 
up  to  1899  it  met  some  twenty  times,  busy- 
ing itself  mostly  with  questions  regarding 
its  own  constitution  and  that  of  the 
Senate.  After  the  death  of  Mr  Moss  in 
1881,  the  Hon.  J.  A.  Boyd  (B.A.  1860) 
became  Chairman  and  remained  so  for 
a  number  of  years.  In  1886  Mr  Fitzgerald 
resigned  as  Clerk  and  Mr  W.  F.  W.  Creel- 
man  (B.A.  1882)  took  his  place,  after 
which  Mr  F.  N.  Kennin  (B.A.  1873)  acted 
for  a  time.  The  last  manifestation  of 
energy  exhibited  by  Convocation  was  its 
protest  against  the  abolition  of  the  old 
Residence  in  1899.  But  it  had  lost  any 
hold  it  had  on  the  graduates  long  before 
that  date.  A  writer  signing  himself 
"M.A."  in  Varsity  of  October  30,  1880, 
in  discussing  the  question  of  the  imposition 
of  a  fee  of  a  dollar  expressed  the  opinion 
of  most  people  when  he  spoke  thus,  "I 
believe  that  the  imposition  at  the  present 
time  of  a  fee  that  has  to  be  paid  under 
penalty  of  loss  of  membership  would  have 
the  effect  of  knocking  out  of  Convocation 
what  flickering  life  has  been  recently  in- 
fused into  it.  This  body  was  created 
nearly  eight  years  ago,  and,  during  the 
first  seven  of  these  years,  nothing  was 
done  to  justify  its  existence".  There  seem 
to  have  been  occasional  flutters  of  excite- 
ment, and  measures  of  various  kinds  were 
proposed  and  amendments  to  the  Univer- 
sity Act,  as  for  instance  in  the  session  of 
1881,  were  passed  by  the  Legislature  but 
the  machine  refused  to  function  properly. 
One  hears  vaguely  eminent  names  in 


connection  with  the  offices  of  Chairman 
and  Clerk  of  Convocation  but  nothing 
worth  while  is  done.  And  so  it  went  on. 
The  law  constantly  provided  for  the  exist- 
ence of  Convocation  but  its  meetings  were 
irregular  and  its  influence  nil.  It  is  curious, 
however,  to  note  that  even  in  the  Act  of 
1906  the  existence  of  this  venerable  body 
is  solemnly  perpetuated  in  sections  57-66, 
but  its  real  activities  have  been  limited 
to  the  election  of  the  Chancellor  and  a 
certain  number  of  members  of  Senate. 

But  time  moved  on.  The  University 
began  to  grow  more  rapidly,  and  as  the 
numbers  of  students  and  of  graduates 
increased,  the  need  of  some  vital  organiza- 
tion of  alumni  was  more  keenly  felt.  Con- 
currently with  the  growth  of  this  feeling, 
the  conviction  deepened  in  the  minds  of 
many  that  Convocation  could  never  be 
developed  into  an  organ  for  the  defence 
and  strengthening  of  the  University.  Var- 
ious plans  were  talked  of  and  finally  in  the 
spring  of  1892  a  group  of  graduates  in 
Arts  of  University  College,  who  were 
gathered  in  Toronto  at  the  time  of  the 
Easter  teachers'  meetings,  met  to  con- 
sider the  situation.  Sir  Daniel  Wilson 
was  chosen  chairman  and  the  present 
writer  acted  as  secretary  of  the  meeting. 
William  Dale  (B.A.  1871)  made  a  speech 
setting  forth  the  needs  of  University 
College,  forced  to  develop  upon  a  very 
limited  budget  and  in  the  midst  of  hostile 
rival  interests.  It  was  decided  by  the 
meeting  to  organize  an  Alumni  Associa- 
tion for  University  College  and  a  committee 
was  chosen  to  draft  a  constitution  and 
nominate  officers. 

The  first  meeting  of  the  Association  was 
called  for  the  evening  of  University 
Commencement,  June  10,  and  it  was  very 
successful.  Professor  James  Loudon 
(B.A.  1862)  was  made  president  and 
William  Dale  secretary.  A  second  meet- 
ing was  held  on  August  4  with  a  large 
attendance  and  a  good  deal  of  excitement, 
caused  to  some  extent  by  the  strenuous 
election  campaign  then  being  carried  on 
for  members  of  the  Senate.  Indeed,  one 
party  of  the  time  charged  the  founders 
of  the  Association  with  creating  it  as  an 
engine  for  election  purposes  and  pro- 
phesied that  it  would  disappear  as  soon 
as  the  elections  were  over.  But  these 
prophecies  were  not  fulfilled.  The  Associ- 
ation lived  on  for  a  couple  of  years.

But  soon  an  important  change  in  its  con- 
stitution occurred.  On  August  7,  Sir 
Daniel  Wilson  died,  and  on  September  13, 
Professor  James  Loudon  was  appointed 
President  of  the  University  in  his  stead. 
He  thereupon  retired  from  the  presidency 
of  the  Alumni  Association  of  University 
College,  and  the  Hon.  S.  H.  Blake  (B.A. 
1858)  was  elected  as  his  successor.  Meet- 
ings of  the  Association  were  held,  one  of 
which  at  least  was  rather  important.  It 
was  a  meeting  with  two  sessions,  one  for 
business  in  the  afternoon  of  March  30, 
1894,  and  the  other  a  large  public  meeting 
in  the  evening  of  the  same  day.  At  the 
evening  meeting  Dr  James  B.  Angell, 
President  of  the  University  of  Michigan, 
made  a  very  eloquent  and  inspiring 
address. 

The  Association  was  never  formally 
dissolved,  but  it  ceased  activities  on  ac- 
count of  the  removal  of  Mr  William  Dale 
from  his  place  in  the  Staff  of  University 
College  as  associate  professor  of  Latin. 
Mr  Dale  had  written  a  letter  which  ap- 
peared in  the  Globe  on  February  9,  1895. 
In  this  letter  he  criticized  various  Uni- 
versity people  in  such  a  caustic  fashion  as 
to  produce  anger  and  indignation  in  the 
University  and  his  demission  followed  a 
few  days  after.  A  strike  of  the  students 
was  declared  and  an  investigation  by  a 
Royal  Commission  was  ordered,  all  of 
which  produced  much  excitement  and 
confusion. 

The  graduates  were  again  without  any 
vital  organization,  but  on  the  part  of 
several,  there  was  a  firm  determination  to 
found  an  Alumni  Association.  One  of 
the  most  firm  in  this  resolve  was  President 
Loudon.  He  never  abandoned  the  con- 
viction of  the  necessity  for  such  an  organ- 
ization. Fortunately  for" him  and  for  the 
idea  of  an  Association  he  had  about  him 
in  the  various  Faculties,  a  number  of 
colleagues  equally  convinced  of  the  need 
of  such  a  body.  Amongst  these  two  of 
the  most  enthusiastic  and  resourceful 
were  R.  A.  Reeve  (B.A.  1862)  and  J.  C. 
McLennan  (B.A.  1892).  The  decisive 
impulse  to  action  seems  to  have  come  from 
the  University  Club  of  Ottawa  which  in 
the  month  of  March,  1900,  issued  a 
circular  urging  that  some  practical  step 
should  be  taken  towards  founding  a 
general  Alumni  Association.  The  meet- 
ing for  organization  took  place  on  April  17. 


A  constitution  was  adopted  and  officers 
were  elected.  President  Loudon  was 
chosen  Honorary  President,  Dr  Reeve, 
President  and  Dr  McLennan,  Secretary. 

The  Constitution  was  brief  but  ex- 
tremely wide  and  comprehensive.  The 
membership  was  to  consist  of  all  graduates 
and  undergraduates  in  any  Faculty  of 
the  University,  and  of  all  persons  holding 
official  positions  in  any  part  of  the 
University. 

The  Association  was  very  fortunate  in 
its  choice  of  President  and  Secretary. 
No  two  persons  could  have  been  found 
who  would  devote  themselves  with  more 
fidelity  and  intelligence  to  the  interests 
of  the  Association.  The  Secretary  proved 
himself  to  be  a  prince  among  Secretaries 
and  rapid  progress  was  made.  Among  the 
notable  occurrences  of  the  first  year's 
existence  of  the  Association  was  the 
organization  of  a  monster  deputation  of 
Alumni  which  visited  the  Government  on 
March  13,  1901,  and  laid  before  it  the 
claims  of  the  University.  It  was  perhaps, 
the  most  notable  popular  demonstration 
which  had  ever  been  seen  in  the  University 
and  its  success  was  due  to  the  energy  of 
the  Secretary  in  founding  branches  all 
over  the  Province. 

The  organization  of  local  branches  of 
the  Association  was  vigorously  prose- 
cuted and  at  the  end  of  the  first  year  the 
Secretary  was  able  to  report  that  there 
were  seventeen  of  them  in  existence. 
They  were  located  as  follows:  in  Barrie, 
British  Columbia,  Elgin  Co.,  Grey  and 
Bruce,  Hastings  Co.,  Huron  Co.,  Lennox 
and  Addington,  Lincoln  Co.,  Middlesex 
Co.,  Ottawa,  Perth  Co.,  Peterborough  Co., 
Prince  Edward  Co.,  Victoria  Co.,  Waterloo 
Co.,  Wellington  Co.,  and  Wentworth  Co. 

But  the  present  is  not  a  convenient 
moment  for  telling  the  story  of  the  Asso- 
ciation during  the  first  twenty  years  of 
its  life.  That  must  be  postponed  just 
now.  But  when  the  time  comes  it  will 
be  seen  how  useful  to  the  highest  interests 
of  the  University  it  has  been,  and  how 
desirable  it  is  that  it  should  go*  on  with 
unimpaired  strength  in  the  accomplish- 
ment of  its  proper  functions.  The  day 
will  probably  never  come  when  it  can  be 
dispensed  with.  It  will  be  more  and  more 
needed  in  the  struggles  of  the  future. 

In  this  sketch  many  humorous  and 
pathetic  incidents  have  been  touched  on,

but  lessons  are  to  be  learned  from  it  as 
well.  We  know  better  now  what  an 
Alumni  Association  is  useful  for.  We 
may  learn  that  its  chief  function  is  not  to 
control  university  policy,  so  much  as  it 
is  to  keep  alive  in  the  hearts  of  the  people 
a  love  for  learning  and  for  the  institutions 
where  learning  is  fostered.  An  Alumni 
Association  is  not  a  place  for  formulating 
scholarly  curricula,  but  rather  for  pro- 
moting goodfellowship  amongst  old  friends 
who  meet  now  and  then.  It  is  not  a 
place  for  discussing  legislative  measures, 


so  much  as  it  is  a  place  for  reviving  the 
memory  of  the  days  of  youth  and  of  its 
escapades.  Let  us  not  forget  that  care- 
fully-worded, logically-developed  constit- 
utions and  regulations  will  not  save  an 
Association  from  dying  of  dry-rot.  Success 
will  depend  on  the  intelligence  and  de- 
votion of  the  graduates  who  guide  the 
Alumni  groups.  These  must  be  carefully 
tended  and  nurtured.  A  University  should 
never  allow  its  sons  and  daughters  to  forget 
their  alma  mater.

University  Settlement  Continues  its  Good  Work 


A  CHEERY  "Hello"  greeted  us  as  we 
entered  one  of  the  playrooms  at  the 
University  Settlement  after  a  tour  of 
inspection  one  Saturday  morning.  It  came 
from  one  of  the  smallest  of  a  group  of 
youngsters  playing  with  blocks  on  'the 
floor,  a  yellow-haired,  fair-skinned  child 
with  alert,  bright  blue  eyes.  Any  attempts 
to  elicit  further  conversation  from  him  were 
in  vain;  he  smiled,  but  remained  mute., 
Later  on  we  heard  the  child's  story  and  we 
understood  the  reason  of  his  silence.  Little 
John  is  the  son  of  Austrian  and  Russian 
parents,  and  he  speaks  only  the  two  or  three 
words  of  English  which  he  has  picked  up 
from  his  playmates  at  the  settlement.  He 
is  learning  more  every  day,  however,  and 
in  a  few  years  he  will  be  speaking  English 
as  fluently  as  all  the  bigger  boys  around 
the  place.  In  the  meantime  he  is  learning 
the  games  and  imbibing  the  spirit  of 
Canadian  boys  and  eventually  he  will 
develop  into  a  full-fledged  citizen.  This 
Canadianization  of  the  foreigner  is  one  of 
the  important  phases  of  settlement  work. 

"We  want  to  emphasize  the  fact  that  we 
are  a  friendly  group,  a  recreational,  social 
and  educational  centre,  and  not  a  charit- 
able institution",  said  Miss  Campbell,  the 
supervisor  at  the  settlement.  This  spirit 
is  developed  in  the  club  system.  There  are 
clubs  for  all  the  different  groups, — for 
mothers,  for  boys  and  for  girls.  Even  the 
babies  are  not  forgotten,  for  every  week 
there  is  a  well-baby  clinic,  to  which  every 
baby  brings  its  mother  and  tea  is  served 


and  babies  and  mothers  have  a  sociable 
time.  Then  there  are  two  libraries,  one  of 
them  a  branch  of  the  Public  Library, 
where  books  are  given  out  twice  a  week,  and 
the  well-thumbed  volumes  give  evidence 
as  to  how  much  this  is  appreciated.  In  two 
of  the  club-rooms  there  are  pianos  so  that 
the  children  can  sing  and  dance,  and  several 
of  them  are  learning  how  to  play.  The 
billiard-room,  judging  by  its  appearance 
is  heartily  enjoyed  by  the  boys  and  looks 
accustomed  to  hard  usage.  Everything 
around  the  house  bears  witness  to  the  fact 
that  swarms  of  children  haunt  the  place 
and  the  cosy  and  attractive  club-rooms 
provide  a  comfortable  background.  Every 
year  the  children  give  plays,  and  their  own 
dramatic  instincts  fostered  by  the  poise 
and  self-control  gained  in  organizing  and 
running  clubs  makes  the  plays  well-acted 
and  genuinely  interesting. 

Every  year  the  work  of  the  Settlement 
increases.  This  summer  they  held  a  camp 
up  on  Lake  Simcoe,  at  which  some  232 
people  visited.  More  helpers  are  required 
yearly  and  these  are  obtained  chiefly  from 
the  ranks  of  University  students  and 
University  graduates  of  the  Social  Service 
and  other  courses.  In  helping  the  Univer- 
sity settlement  to  teach  little  foreigners 
like  John  to  play  and  exercise  their  minds 
and  bodies,  and  to  grow  up  into  sturdy 
Canadian  citizens,  they  are  helping  to  forge 
another  link  between  the  University  and 
the  nation. 


:  -     ;  My  Life 

Fragments  from  an  as  yet  unpublished  Autobiography  of  Stephen  Leacock 


ALL  my  life  I  have  lived  in  fear  that, 
sooner  or  later  —  I  always  hoped  it 
would  be  later  —  some  one  would  tell 
the  truth  about  me. 

Whenever  I  signed  an  Hotel   Register, 


down  the  nights  and  down  the  days  and 
around  the  block  by  some  imaginary  canine 
phantasm.  I  simply  had  to  find  some 
way  of  poisoning  that  dog;  At  last  I  had 
it.  My  great  idea  was  to  write  my  own 


I  fully  expected  to  feel  a  clammy  hand  on      biography   and   prove   that   my   life   is   a 

biological  necessity. 

"When  they  arrest  me,"  said  I  to  myself, 
"I  shall  whip  out  my  confessions  and  show 
that  I  have  beaten  them  to  it  and  scooped 
their  entire  reportorial  staff.  Gentlemen 
of  the  jury,  I  shall  say,  or  better  still, 
beautiful  ladies  .of  the  jury,  I  am  a  victim 
of  extenuating  circumstances.  I  am  guilt- 
less of  false  pretences.  Observe  me  care- 
fully. My  sleeves  are  empty.  I  haven't 
a  rabbit  or  even  a  rabbit's  foot  concealed 
about  me  anywhere.  I  wrote  the  miser- 
able stuff.  I  don't  deny  it.  I  confess  it. 
I  even  deplore  it.  If  you  must  indict 
something,  indict  the  soulless  University 
which  by  giving  me  one  tenth  of  a 
scavenger's  wage,  drove  me  into  a  life  of 
shame  and  ignominy." 


the  nape  of  my  neck,  and  to  hear  a  voice 
cry  out,  "Stephen  Butler  Leacock,  alias 
Samuel  Taylor  Coleridge,  Lowest  Common 
Multiple,  I  arrest  you  as  a  Literary 
Fraud." 

As  a  result,  I  had  to  stop  wearing  coat 
collars  and  other  points  d'appui  and  pieces 
de  resistance. 

Again,  whenever  I  heard  people  in  the 
street  say  "We've  got  you  Steve,"  I 
trembled  all  over. 

I  really  thought  they  had. 

After  all,  why  shouldn't  they  get  me? 
There  was  I  going  abroad  brazenly  with 
the  goods  on  me.     All  they  had  to  do  was 
to  shake  the  Nonsense  Novels  out  of  my 
pocket  and   they  would   have   found   my 
union  card  in  the  Grand  Army  of  Respect- 
able   Citizens    and    Perfectly    Safe    Plati- 
tudinizers.      Strip- 
ped  to   my  under- 
clothing     I      was 
about  as  Bohemian 
as  a  Bohemian 
orchestra  or  aMeth- 
odist  Chautauqua. 
In  puris  naturalibus 
I  was  --  well,  just 
like  everybody  else 
—  or  nearly  so. 

I  am  a  man  who 
finds  it  hard  to  get 
away  with  any- 
thing. The  hotel 
porter  always 
searches  my  lug- 
gage-ALWAYS. 
When  I  dropped  a 
workingman  's 
ticket  in  the  fare- 
box,  the  conductor 
always  stared  at  me. 
Often  he  sneered 
openly.  Once  he 
spat  in  disgust. 
Fortunately  he 
.missed  me. 

It   is   a   terrible 
thing  to  be  chased 


Whenever  I  signed  an  Hotel  Register,  I  fully  expected  to  feel  a  clammy  hand  on 

the  nape  of  my  neck,  and  to  hear  a  voice  cry  out,  "Stephen  Butler  Leacock,

This  Burke's  Irish  rhapsody  will,  I 
flatter  myself,  do  the  trick.  Provided  that 
the  ladies  of  the  harem — I  mean  jury — 
are  sufficiently  unattractive  to  appreciate 
my  eulogy  of  their  pulchritude. 

Here  then  is  my  sole  true  and  authorized 
biography,  my  veritable  felo  de  se.  All 
others  are  NOT  the  genuine  aspirin.  I 
am  writing  it  sound  in  wind  and  limb,  and 
as  sober  as  I  ever  again  expect  to  be,  in 
solemn  consciousness  that  I  must  shortly 
face  my  Publisher,  very  shortly  and  very 
short,  in  fact  stoney  broke. 

A  qualification  is  first  necessary.  There 
are  many  biographical  details  scattered 
throughout  my  published  works.  Let  it 
be  understood  that  this  present  statement 
cancels  them.  For  instance,  I  have  spoken 
at  times  of  my  wife  and  five  children.  I 
have  spoken  elsewhere  of  my  wife — pre- 
sumably the  same  wife — and  ten,  children. 
I  have  referred  in  other  passages  to  the 
twenty  little  mouths  that  look  to  me  for 
bread.  These  children  are  purely  apocry- 
phal. As  Professor  of  Political  Economy 
I  claim  the  benefit  of  Clergy  for  my 
statistics.  These  wives  are,  to  put  it 
plainly,  in  my  eye.  As  one  who  is  neither 
a  Pluralist  nor  a  Communist,  I  repudiate 
them.  Again,  shallow  critics  on  the  internal 
evidence  of  some  of  my  books  have  jumped 
to  the  rash  conclusion  that  I  occasionally 
take  a  drink.  How  grossly  they  err  will 
appear  sub  finem  where  I  shall  reveal  the 
tragic  secret  of  my  life. 

To  begin  with,  I  was  born  somewhere 
and  some  time.  I  have  no  personal 
recollection  of  it  myself,  but,  hang  it  all, 
one  must  have  faith,  one  must  have 
vision  to  bind  together  this  contradictory 
world  of  reality.  Let  scientific  deter- 
minism accuse  me,  if  it  will,  of  superstition, 
of  vvrepov  irporepov,  or  even  of  lucus  a 
non  lucendo,  I  have  a  vision  of  myself 
being  born.  That  is  sufficient  in  my  eyes 
to  establish  the  fact. 

Over  the  events  of  my  early  childhood,  I 
will  draw  a  veil.  They  need  it.  Of  my 
precocity  I  will  say  only  this,  that  my 
father  considered  me  at  the  age  of  ten  an 
absolute  idiot.  The  dear  old  man  lived 
to  see  his  diagnosis  confirmed,  and  to 
share  with  tears  of  joy  a  part,  a  very, 
very  small  part,  of  my  monetary  success 
with  the  public.  Of  my  adolescence  I 
may  remark  that  I  was  considered  by  a 
great  grandmother  who  had  cataracts  on 
both  eyes  to  be  an  extremely  beautiful 
youth.  You  would  hardly  believe  it  if 


you  could  see  me  now.  Other  times, 
other  warts  and  waist  measurements. 

I  shall  never  forget  my  first  love  affair. 
Nimium  te  amavi,  as  John  Wesley  has  it. 
It  was  a  terrible  case  of  infatuation.  I 
seemed  to  be  hooked  for  Time  and  Eternity 
— principally  Eternity.  In  spite  of  the 
entreaties  of  my  friends,  in  spite  of  the 
dictates  of  my  own  reason,  I  clung 
passionately  to  the  object  of  my  affection. 
Playing  those  four  aces  against  a  straight 
flush  cost  me  $1.65  in  coin  of  the  realm 
plus  an  LO.U.  for  $13.50,  which  I  have 
never  yet  redeemed.  This  was  my  first 
warning  of  that  hereditary  frenzy  which 
ended  at  last  in  fiction. 

At  the  age  of  eighteen,  I  realized  the 
marvellous  opportunities  of  our  splendid 
material  civilization.  I  went  into  a  bank 
at  the  monthly  wage  of  $2.50  payable 
monthly.  I  would  now  be  General  Mana- 
ger and  would  long  ago  have  cleaned  up 
millions  in  Wall  Street  with  the  bank's 
money — those  kind  of  millions  certainly 
do  need  cleaning — had  it  not  been  for  the 
hand  of  Fate,  the  finger  of  Destiny  and 
the  brutal  toe  of  Dismissal.  No  one  knows 
how  bitterly  I  resent  this  constant  intrusion 
of  Destiny  in  my  domestic  affairs. 

I  was  short  two  cents  one  year  end  in 
my  stamp  account,  and  the  Bank  mag- 
nanimously gave  me  the  choice  of  capital 
punishment  or  exile.  The  President's 
name  was — — well,  any  name  will  do. 
Needless  to  say,  I  chose  exile.  I  went  to 
New  York.  Why  New  York?  Why  not 
South  Bend,  or  Topeka,  Kan.,  or  Bangor, 
Me.?  Surely,  reader,  you  are  not  so 
obtuse  as  to  have  failed  to  realize  with  what 
miraculous  genius  I  incarnate  the  aver- 
age American  mentality.  I  went  to  New 
York  because  everybody  was  doing  it  and 
being  done  by  it. 

There  I  found  salvation.  There  I  first 
saw  light  or  rather  darkness.  There  I 
first  met  Bosh,  the  great  Bosh,  the  only 
Bosh,  the  unrivalled  Central  African  phil- 
osopher whose  system  is  bound  sooner  or 
later  to  revolutionize  all  human  thought, 
in  fact,  to  dispense  with  it  entirely. 

He  had  come  to  America  on  a  little 
matter  of  copyright.  He  found  that  the 
entire  populace  had  stolen  or  rather 
travestied  his  discoveries.  Bosh,  in  a 
spurious  and  degraded  form,  was  being 
openly  peddled  everywhere.  He  could  get 
no  redress.  He  had  been  in  his  youth 
chef  d'orchestre  to  the  most  polyphonic

monarch  Dahomey  ever  knew.  So  he 
entered  a  jazz  band.  But  his  delicate 
Mozartian,  Zanzibarian  nuances  were  too 
subtle  for  the  neo-barbarians  of  Broadway. 
They  fired  him  for  not  making  enough 
noise! 

He  was  starving  when  I  met  him.  He 
asked  me  for  bread  and  I  gave  him  a 
plugged  quarter. 

Tears  of  gratitude  welled  in  his  eyes. 
"Young  man,"  he  sobbed,  "I  shall  never 
forget  this." 

He  spoke  the  truth.  He  never  did  get 
rid  of  it. 

"I  must  make  you  some  return,"  he 
went  on. 

Personally  I  never  could  understand 
some  people's  mad  impulse  to  pay  their 
debts. 

"  I  will  give  you  my  system.  I  will 
make  you  my  American  agent.  I  will 
initiate  you  into  the  mysteries  of  Bosh, 
including  its  sub-varieties  of  Bunk,  Piffle 
and  Twaddle.  First  of  all  you  must  grasp 
firmly  the  primary  principle  of  my  cosmic 
philosophy.  ALL,  ALL  is  BOSH. 

"What!"  said  I.     "All?" 

"Yes,"  he  replied  solemnly  and  sadly, 
"ALL,  every  bit  of  it.  ' 

I  thanked  him.  It  was  the  first  time 
in  my  life  that  I  had  ever  given  thanks 
and  meant  it.  I  saw  in  a  flash  the  clue 
to  all  the  riddles  of  the  universe,  including 
Chief  Justice  Riddell.  I  had  now  the 
key  to  occult  literature  and  could  con- 
verse at  ease,  in  astral  googoo,  with  the 
illustrious  dead.  In  a  word  I  twigged 
that  there  was  oodles  of  coin  in  it. 

"But,  master,"  I  expostulated  timidly, 
"there  is  Bosh  everywhere."  He  re- 
torted savagely,  "Bosh!  Do  you  call 
the  ordinary  magazine  stuff,  Bosh?  Give 
them  the  real  thing.  You  can  do  it. 
As  a  starter  take  to  Political  Economy." 

I  took  to  it.  Likewise  it  took  to  me. 
I  found  it  the  royal  road  to  Bosh,  the 
A. B.C.  of  Bosh,  Bosh  in  its  simplest  and 
most  easily  digested  form.  It  gave  me 
my  first  glimmerings  of  the  Larger  Lunacy. 
It  was  the  first  lap  in  my  Literary  Lapses. 
It  was  my  ^first  stumble  Behind  the 
Beyond. 

I  kept  up  a  correspondence  with  Bosh 
after  his  return  to  Africa.  He  sent  me 
his  manuscripts  in  the  original  Bunkum. 
By  some  kind  of  intuitive  knowledge  I 
was  able  to  read  them  at  sight.  With 
this  unique  access  to  the  original  sources, 
I  easily  out  distanced  all  competitors  and 


became  the  foremost  exponent  of  Bosh  on 
the  North  American  continent.  Bosh 
and  Political  Economy'  Polit'cal  Econo- 
my and  Bosh!  These  two  will  be  found 
tattooed  on  my  heart  when  the  surgeons 
dissect  me. 

No,  never  shall  I  forget  Bosh,  the  source 
of  all  my  prosperity.  Since  our  first 
fateful  meeting,  many  another  plugged 
quarter  have  I  slipped  to  Foreign  Missions, 
in  the  hope  that,  in  the  shape  of  a  bottle 
of  trade  rum,  they  might  somehow  find  their 
way  to  that  venerable  and  sublime  spirit, 
in  his  peaceful  hermitage  on  the  shores  of 
tranquil  Lake  Tanganyika,  or  under  some 
spreading  Bunkum  tree  on  the 'banks  of 
the  Upper  Congo. 

This  is  a  most  momentous  literary 
confession.  It  is  the  TRUTH.  Let  me 
recapitulate  it. 

Bernard  Shaw  has  said,  "To  those  who 
know,  it  has  long  been  apparent  that  my 
plays  are  all  Dickens."  Personally  I 
would  say  that  they  are  much  worse  than 
that.  Anyway,  in  my  turn  I  declare  that 
by  this  time  it  must  be  obvious,  even  to 
Professors  of  English  Literature,  that  my 
works  are  all  Bosh,  with  a  dash  of  Bunk, 
and  a  faint  trickle  of  PifHe.  But  never 
any  Twaddle!  No,  thank  Heaven,  with 
all  my  sins  I  have  never  descended  to 

Twaddle.  I  leave  that  to No,  I'll  be 

hanged  if  I  will.  If  there  is  any  money  in 
Twaddle,  I,  the  sole  literary  executor  of  Bosh, 
have  as  much  right  to  it  as  anybody.  .  .  . 

This  is  the  tragic  secret  I  promised 
earlier  to  reveal. 

I  am  a  PROHIBITIONIST. 

Not  the  ordinary  kind  of  Prohibitionist 
who  prohibits  others,  but  a  prohibitionist 
who  prohibits  himself  from  truck  or  trade 
or  intercourse  with — prohibitionists. 

Confound  this  Prohibition,  anyway. 
It  is  a  better  line  of  Bosh  than  anything 
I  have  done  myself.  People  are  beginning 
to  realize  it.  My  sales  are  falling  off. 

In  a  book  store,  only  the  other  day,  I 
heard  a  customer  ask  for  the  funniest  thing 
in  stock. 

Did  the  clerk  recommend  "Frenzied 
Fiction,"  by  Stephen  Leacock? 

He  did  not. 

He  handed  out  "Bone  Dry  America," 
by  the  Rev.  Mr.  Fuller  Than  Ever. 

No  wonder  that  I'm  a  Prohibitionist 
with  a  difference — a  very  considerable 
difference  in  my  income!

The  Fifth  Provost  of  Trinity 


WHEN  Dr  Macklem  became  fourth 
Provost  of  Trinity,  he  was  ac- 
claimed as  a  Canadian.  To  Dr 
Seager  accrues  the  additional  advantage  of 
being  a  Trinity  man,  steeped  in  the  best 
traditions  of  the  College. 

Dr  Seager  was  born  and  educated  in 
Goderich,  where  his  father,  the  Crown 
Attorney  for  the  County  of  Huron,  still 
lives.  In  his  native  town  he  was  prepared 
for  matriculation  by  that  prince  of  teachers, 
Dr  Strang,  who  followed  his  boys  with 
interest  wherever  they  went. 

Trinity  had'  as  Provost  during  Dr 
Seager's  first  two  years  Dr  Body,  a  man 
of  great  learning,  great  executive  ability, 


DR.  SEAGER 

and  great  energy,  who  not  only  enlarged 
the  buildings  and  increased  the  endow- 
ments, but  who  also  reformed  the  educa- 
tional programme,  widened  the  outlook, 
brought  the  College  into  co-operation  with 
Queen's  and  Victoria,  and  earnestly  ad- 
vocated federation  with  the  University  of 
Toronto. 

Dr  Welch,  who  alone  suffered  through 
his  advocacy  of  federation,  was  Provost  in 
Dr  Seager's  final  year  in  Arts  and  through- 
out his  Divinity  course.  His  influence  as 
a  theologian  and  as  a  teacher  lives  on  in 
Dr  Seager  and  in  several  other  men  now 
prominent  in  the  councils  of  the  Church  of 


England  in  Canada,  notably  Dr  Owen, 
Dean  of  Niagara,  who  was  also  seriously 
considered  in  connection  with  the  provost- 
ship. 

Besides  these  two  Provosts,  the  late 
Professor  Clark,  as  Professor  of  Philosophy, 
and  the  late  Dr  Cayley,  as  Professor  of 
Divinity,  had  much  to  do  with  the  training 
of  Dr  Seager.  That  training  was  happily 
continued  in  the  cura,cy  at  St.  Thomas' 
Church,  Toronto,  in  which  he  served  im- 
mediately after  ordination,  Dr  Roper,  the 
present  Bishop  of  Ottawa,  being  at  the 
time  vicar. 

At  St.  Cyprian's  Church,  Toronto, 
which  was  then  in  its  infancy,  Dr  Seager 
gave  proof  of  his  ministry,  his  organizing 
gifts  being  called  into  play.  His  sympathy 
and  his  manhood,  his  preaching  and  his 
spititual  power  not  only  endeared  him 
to  his  own  parishioners  but  also  attracted 
other  people. 

No  wonder  was  it  therefore  that  at  the 
instance  of  his  classmate  at  College  Dr  de 
Pencier,  Bishop  of  New  Westminster,  he 
was  drawn  to  the  West,  first  as  rector  of 
Vernon  and  later  as  Principal  of  St. 
Mark's  Hall,  in  the  Anglican  Theological 
College,  Vancouver.  Representing  in  the 
latter  capacity  what  is  popularly  called 
the  High  Church  wing,  he  lived  on  terms 
of  friendly  regard  with  Principal  Vance, 
of  Latimer  Hall,  co-operating  heartily  with 
him  for  the  good  of  their  common  Church. 

The  war  drained  St.  Mark's  of  students 
and  Dr  Seager  resigned  his  post  in  spite 
of  the  entreaties  of  his  Board.  He  did  not 
wish  to  take  a  salary  he  was  not  earning  and 
he  did  not  wish  to  be  idle. 

Appointed  to  the  rectory  of  St.  Mat- 
thew's Church,  Toronto,  he  has  built  up 
a  strong  parish  to  the  east  of  the  Don. 
He  has  received  his  reward  in  the  affection 
of  his  people,  the  regard  of  his  fellow 
clergy,  who  trust  his  sanity  and  his  chanty, 
and  the  approval  of  his  Bishop,  who  has 
made  him  a  Canon  of  St.  Alban's  Cathedral. 

Notwithstanding  the  heavy  demands  of 
his  parish,  Dr  Seager  has,  for  two  years 
past,  unselfishly  given  lectures  at  Trinity. 
Thus  he  is  no  stranger  to  the  present 
students  and  the  present  staff. 

Besides  his  own  experience  of  educa- 
tional work  Dr  Seager  has  behind  him  that 
of  his  maternal  grandfather,  the  Rev  J.  W. 
Padfield,  who  was  from  1830  to  1833  a 
Master  of  Upper  Canada  College.  He

UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO  MONTHLY

resigned    his   post   in    the    College    to   be 
ordained  and  to  take  a  mission. 

Of  the  large  committee  on  union  ap- 
pointed at  the  meeting  of  the  General 
Synod  of  the  Church  of  England  at 
Hamilton,  Dr  Seager  is  a  member.  He  has 
a  place  also  on  the  executive  committee 
formed  in  the  same  connection. 


Because  of  his  varied  gifts  Dr  Seager 
seems  to  be  the  best  man  to  succeed  Dr 
Macklem,  who  resigned  eighteen  months 
ago,  and  to  carry  on  to  completion  the 
erection  of  the  new  buildings  and  the 
removal  to  Queen's  Park. 


A.  H.  YOUNG. 


An    Innovation 


OBVIOUS  it  is  that  in  all  parts  of 
Ontario  people  have  heard  that  a 
great  forward  movement  is  taking 
place  in  the  work  of  the  Provincial  Univer- 
sity— and  most  of  them,  it  would  appear, 
are  anxious  to  take  advantage  of  what  the 
University  offers  them.  In  arranging  ex- 
tension classes  it  is  essential,  as  a  matter  of 
policy,  that  the  demand  should  come  from 
outside  rather  than  from  inside  the  Uni- 
versity, because  only  then  does  a  class 
contain  within  itself  the  element  of  perma- 
nence. People  who  ask  for  university 
service  are  likely  to  be  sufficiently  inter- 
ested to  persist  in  attendance  on  the  class 
for  which  they  have  asked  while  those  who 
might  be  dragooned  into  taking  some 
special  study  must,  at  best,  be  indifferent 
students.  *  For  this  reason  the  Department 
of  University  Extension  offers  facilities  for 
study  but  does  not  urge  anyone  to  accept 
its  offer. 

This  principle  is  well  illustrated  in  what 
has  taken  place  in  Hamilton.  The  teachers 
in  that  city  heard  of  a  new  arrangement 
that  had  been  made  to  provide  for  extra- 
mural classes  to  be  held  in  the  evenings 
in  cities  or  towns  where  the  number  of 
prospective  students  was  sufficient  to  make 
these  classes  worth  while.  They  asked  for 
particulars  regarding  this  new  scheme  and 
secured  the  following: 

At  the  March  meeting  of  the  Senate  of  the 
University  of  Toronto  the  following  important 
principle  was  laid  down.  This  was  done  on  the 
recommendation  of  the  Extension  Committee  and 
of  the  Council  of  the  Faculty  of  Arts. 

The  University  of  Toronto  is  very  anxious,  up  to 
the  limit  of  its  powers  as  determined  by  its  finances 
and  the  size  of  its  staff,  to  aid  persons  who  are  in 
employment  during  the  day  to  secure  education 
of  university  grade  and  will  go  a  long  way  to  provide 
credit  for  those  proceeding  to  a  degree,  provided 
always,  however,  that  the  University  retains  full 
control  of  its  own  standards  and  of  its  staff.  There- 
fore, the  University  is  prepared  to  offer  instruction 
and  admission  to  examinations  to  students  belonging 
to  any  organization  in  any  locality  in  the  Province 
under  the  following  conditions:  (1)  the  class  must 


consist  of  riot  fewer  than  twenty  members;  (2)  the 
fees  paid  by  each  student  must  be  the  same  as  those 
paid  by  students  in  the  Teachers'  Course;  (3)  the 
organization  making  application  for  such  a  class 
must  collect  the  fees  from  every  student  and  forward 
these  fees  to  the  University  within  the  time  limit 
stipulated  in  the  case  of  students  in  the  Teachers' 
Course;  (4)  the  University  will  select  and  pay  the 
members  of  its  staff  who  give  the  tuition;  (5)  such 
class  or  classes  may  be  held  in  classrooms  supplied 
by  the  organization  concerned,  provided  the  equip- 
ment and  library  facilities  are  suitable,  in  the  judg- 
ment of  the  University,  for  the  work  of  such  class,  or 
classes;  (6)  the  tuition  given  to  such  class  or  classes 
shall  be  of  the  same  character  as  that  given  to 
students  in  the  Teachers'  Course;  (7)  the  number  of 
such  classes  shall  be  determined  by  the  ability  of  the 
University  to  provide  this  instruction;  (8)  unless 
otherwise  expressly  stated  in  this  section  such  class 
or  classes  shall  be  governed  by  the  regulations  at  the 
time  governing  classes  in  the  Teachers'  Course. 
THE  COURSE  GIVEN  UNDER  THIS 

ARRANGEMENT 

The  Pass  Course,  leading  to  the  B.A.  degree, 
according  to  the  following  scheme  will  be  the  basis 
of  instruction: 

First  Year English,  Latin,  French,  Elemen- 
tary Science,  Mathematics  (Alge- 
bra and  Geometry),  Trigono- 
metry. 

Second  Year.  .  ^English,  French,  Science",  Two  of 
Third  Year .  .  .  <  History,  Political  Economy, 
Fourth  Year. .  (Psychology. 

1.  This  scheme  is  intended  for  persons  who  are 
employed  during  the  day. 

2.  The  class  must  be  under  the  general  direction 
of  some  responsible  organization.    The  local  Alumni 
Association  of  the  University  of  Toronto,  the  Board 
of  Education,  the  High  School  Board,  the  Advisory 
Educational     Committee,     the     Y.M.C.A.,     the 
Y.W.C.A.,  or  some  similar  organization  might  take 
this  work  in  its  charge. 

3.  The  tuition  fees  at  present  in  force  are:  one 
subject,  $10.00;  two  subjects,  $18.00;  three  subjects, 
$24.00.      Examinations,    $2.00    per   subject.      For 
admission  by  certificate  to  the  Second  Year,  $15.00. 
In  some  localities  there  might  be  additional  expense 
for  rooms,  heat,  light,  etc. 

4.  The  equivalent  of  at  least  two  houors  of  tuition 
per  week  from  the  first  of  October  until  the  end  of 
April  is  in  most  cases  the  minimum  requirement  of 
work;  in  some  subjects  three  hours  per  week  would 
be  necessary. 

5.  The  work  up  to  the  end  of  the  First  Year  might 
well  be  conducted  either  by,  or  in  co-operation  with 
the  local  Collegiate  Institute  or  High  School  without

reference  to  the  University  because  the  First  Year 
of  the  Pass  Course  may  be  taken  as  Senior  Matricu- 
lation or  Honour  Matriculation.  The  University's 
work  begins,  in  these  courses,  with  the  Second  Year 
subjects. 

A  committee  of  these  teachers  then  ap- 
proached the  Board  of  Education,  outlined 
their  proposals  and  their  hopes,  and  asked 
for  the  Board's  co-operation.  This  was 
very  readily  granted  and  enrolment  for  the 
classes  commenced. 

At  the  time  of  writing  a  class  in  Second 
Year  English  is  being  conducted  in  the 
Hamilton  Collegiate  Institute  by  Professor 
R.  S.  Knox  of  the  Department  of  English ; 
a  class  in  Second  Year  Botany  studies 
every  Saturday  forenoon  under  Professor 
H.  B.  Sifton  of  the  Department  of  Botany; 
and  a  class  in  Second  Year  French  is  about 
to  begin  work. 

This  is  rather  a  unique  departure  but 


it  is  a  very  logical  development  of  the 
system  of  Teachers'  Classes  which  has 
been  in  operation  in  Toronto  for  some 
years.  For  instance,  this  year  one  hundred 
and  fourteen  Toronto  teachers  are  studying 
in  the  late  afternoons  and  on  Saturday 
forenoons  and  are  proceeding  to  the  B.A. 
degree  by  this  means.  Since  the  University 
is  a  Provincial  institution,  how  can  the 
same  privilege  be  denied  the  teachers  of 
Hamilton  or  of  any  other  centre  where  the 
conditions  can  be  met?  Next  year  Strat- 
ford and  Fort  William  hope  to  be  able  to 
do  exactly  what  Hamilton  is  doing  this 
year.  To  meet  the  needs  of  these  cities 
will,  because  of  the  distances  involved, 
produce  knotty  problems  but  the  existence 
of  such  difficulties  should  not,  and  cannot 
prevent  the  Provincial  University  doing 
its  whole  duty  to  its  whole  constituency.

Victoria  Graduates  Organize 


A  MOVEMENT  which  will  facilitate 
JT\  Victoria  co-operation  in  university 
activities  was  launched  last  month  at 
an  alumni  dinner  in  Burwash  Hall.  The 
occasion  was  the  80th  anniversary  of  the 
granting  of  the  royal  charter  to  Victoria 
University.  The  dinner  followed  the  un- 
veiling of  gifts  from  His  Majesty  the  King 
and  a  special  convocation  in  arts. 

At  the  dinner  the  Victoria  College 
Alumni  Association  took  on  a  new  lease 
of  life,  being  in  effect  reconstituted  after 
having  lain  dormant  since  some  years 
prior  to  the  war.  The  appointment  of 
vocational  and  publicity  committees  were 
features  of  the  new  organization.  The 
following  officers  were  elected:  Honorary 
President,  Chancellor  Bowles;  President 
C.  Douglas  Henderson,  '06;  Vice-President, 
Clarke  E.  Locke,  '11;  Secretary-Treasurer, 
W.  J.  Little,  '13  (address,  Victoria  College) ; 
Executive,  H.  P.  Edge,  '09;  George  H. 
Locke,  '93;  J.  C.  Eastcott,  '21;  S.  W. 
Eakins,  '04. 

Attendance  of  more  than  two  hundred 
graduates  at  the  inaugural  dinner  was 
taken  by  all  speakers  as  a  happy  augury 
of  success.  Preliminary  plans  for  a  monster 
reunion  of  all  Victoria  graduates,  to  be 
held  in  the  autumn  of  1922,  were  announced 
to  the  gathering  and  received  enthusiasti- 
cally. It  also  developed  that  plans  for  a 


closer  connection  of  graduates  with  under- 
graduate activities,  such  as  athletics  and 
the  college  monthly,  Acta  Victoriana,  were 
in  the  making.  The  advisory  vocational 
committee  will  provide  facilities  by  which 
men  on  graduation  will  be  assisted  in 
rinding  suitable  avenues  of  work.  Pub- 
licity for  the  college  as  well  as  for  the 
association  itself  will  come  within  the 
province  of  the  publicity  committee. 

While  the  newer  graduates  were  elected 
to  the  offices  of  the  association,  great 
pleasure  was  taken  in  the  presence  of  dis- 
tinguished senior  graduates,  such  as  Dr 
Hamilton  Fisk  Biggar,  '63,  of  Cleveland, 
Ohio,  and  Mr  Justice  J.  J.  Maclaren,  '62, 
and  in  messages  from  even  older  graduates 
who  were  unable  to  attend.  Each  decade 
from  the  sixties  down  was  represented  by 
a  speaker  in  response  to  the  toast  to  the 
college,  which  was  proposed  by  Mr  A.  E. 
Ames,  chairman  of  the  executive  of  the 
Board  of  Regents.  For  the  60's  Justice 
Maclaren  was  the  spokesman;  for  the 
70's,  Prof  A.  P.  Coleman,  dean  of  the 
faculty  of  arts,  University  of  Toronto; 
for  the  80's,  J.  R.  L.  Starr,  K.C.;  for  the 
90's,  Prof  C.  T.  Currelly,  curator  of  the 
Royal  Ontario  Museum;  for  the  'OO's, 
Rev  C.  R.  Carscallen,  West  China  mission- 
ary; for  the  '10's,  Major  T.  W.  MacDowell, 
V.C.,  and  for  the  20's,  J.  C.  Eastcott,

Social  Service  Department  Forms  Link  With  Masses 


THE  half-way  house  between  the  Uni- 
versity and  the  people."  That  is 
a  phrase  that  has  been  applied,  not 
inaptly,  to  the  Social  Service  Department. 
It  is  a  stepping-stone  between  the  more 
purely  academic  and  literary  atmosphere 
that  envelops  an  institution  of  learning, 
and  the  heart  of  the  masses,  on  whom  it  is 
hoped  that  that  learning  will  ultimately 
react  to  their  own  best  interests.  In 
these  days  when  the  LTniversity  is  striving 
to  strengthen  her  connection  with  the 
people  of  Ontario,  the  value  of  a  depart- 
ment like  that  in  Social  Service  is  inestim- 
able. 

It  is  only  seven  years  since  the 
department  was  first  established,  under  the 
aegis  of  the  Staff  in  Political  Economy, 
and  under  the  direction  'of  Professor 
Maclver.  The  rapid  development  of  the 
new  course  eventually  led  to  its  separation 
from  the  Political  Economy  department 
and  the  establishemnt  of  a  separate  de- 
partment. A  year  ago  Professor  J.  A. 
Dale  assumed  the  position  of  head  of  the 
new  Social  Service  Department.  At  pre- 
sent there  are  three  full-time  members 
of  the  staff  and  fourteen  others,  who  are 
either  professors  at  -the  University  or 
prominent  workers  in  the  social  service 
field  down- town. 

The  course  of  training  is  essentially  a 
practical  one.  The  students  devote  their 
time  evenly  between  lectures  on  Hygiene, 
Psychology,  Economics  and  kindred  sub- 
jects, and  field  work,  the  practical  or 
laboratory  end  of  their  course.  During 
the  time  devoted  to  the  latter,  the 
students  visit  the  various  institutions  of 
the  city  where  they  observe  the  particular 
form  of  work  undertaken  by  each  institu- 
tion. This  part  of  their  work  is  called 
observation.  The  second  part  is  the 
really  practical  end.  Each  student  is 
attached  to  some  institution,  perhaps  a 
settlement  house  or  a  hospital,  where  he 
is  in  the  care  of  a  supervisor,  under  whom 


J.  A.  DALE 
Director,  Social  Service  Department 

he  learns  the  rudiments  of  case-work  or 
group-work,  through  personal  experience. 
Both  the  supervisor  and  the  student  make 
out  reports  which  are  sent  on  to  the 
field-work  instructor,  who  can  in  this  way 
keep  in  touch  with  the  individual  student. 
The  first  year  is  purely  vocational,  but 
the  second  becomes  more  specialized  as  the 
student  shows  an  aptitude  for  case-work 
or  for  group-work,  in  clubs  or  other  lines. 
At  the  end  of  two  years  a  diploma  is 
granted. 

The  war  opened  the  eyes  of  me  people 
to  the  necessity  of  training  for  social 
service  workers.  The  aim  of  a  Social 
Service  course  is  to  educate  the  people  to 
know  the  resources  of  the  community  and 
the  needs  of  the  community  and  to  bring

the  two  together.  The  graduates  from 
the  department  go  out  into  many  different 
fields, — settlement-houses,  Board  of  Health 
work,  Soldiers'  Aid  Commissions,  hospitals, 
rehabilitation  work,  work  among  the 
immigrants  and  in  women's  police  courts. 
Another  important  feature  is  the  close 
connection  between  the  Social  Service 
Department  and  the  Neighbourhood  Work- 
ers' Association  of  which  Professor  Dale  is 
President.  The  Neighbourhood  Workers 
is  a  federation  of  187  charitable  associa- 
tions which  works  through  one  central  offce 
which  has  district  offices  throughout  the 
city.  The  value  of  such  an  organization 
is  obvious.  It  minimizes  work,  makes 
duplication  or  overlapping  practically  im- 
possible, and  it  makes  the  work  of  the 
allied  associations  as  speedy  and  efficient 
as  possible. 

More  than  anything  else  the  Social 
Service  Department  counts  itself  fortunate 
in  its  connection  with  the  University. 
In  the  United  States  the  schools  of  social 
service  have  not  flourished  as  a  general 
rule  in  University  grounds.  At  first  glance 
the  advantage  of  being  under  the  wing  of 
the  University  might  not  be  apparent, 
yet  there  are  at  least  two  good  results. 
Besides  the  more  utilitarian  advantages  of 
being  able  to  secure  the  best  professors  and 
lecturers  in  certain  subjects  through  the 
University  they  have  gained  something 
else,  more  intangible,  less  explicit,  they 
have  gained  a  philosophy  of  life.

Book  Reviews 

The  Psychology  of  Adolescence  by  Frederick 
Tracy,  Ph.D.  (New  York,  The  Macmillan  Co.  1920). 

This  is  an  age  of  special  interests  and  the  con- 
sequent multiplication  of  subjects,  more  or  less 
adequately  denned.  Education,  sociology,  and 
religion  are  three  typical  fields,  all  marked  by  the 
same  tendency  to  become  eclectic  and  all  equally 
sub-divided  so  as  to  embrace  whatever  the  sciences 
can  contribute  to  their  ijue  d'ensemble.  Without 
requiring  new  facts  these  subjects  call  for  special 
treatment  of  the  data  and,  above  all,  for  such  a 
presentation  of  the  subject  as  will  attract  and- 
edify  earnest  readers.  This  probably  explains  the 
modern  method  of  organizing  a  series  of  works  to 
meet  such  demands;  for  the  focus  of  the  subject 
is  a  little  indefinite  and  its  limits  may  be  left  to  the 
writer's  option.  To  a  series  of  this  kind,  namely, 
Handbooks  of  Moral  and  Religious  Education, 
edited  by  Professor  Sneath  of  Yale  University,  this 
bock  has  been  contributed  by  Professor  Tracy. 

The  class  of  readers  ("teachers  in  the  field  of 
moral  and  religious  education")  for  whom  the  book 
is  written  will  find  it  admirably  adapted  to  their 
needs.  In  respect  of  style  it  is  eminently  readable 
and  will  set  before  the  teachers  a  standard  of  ex- 
position which  they  may  well  try  to  attain.  In 
respect  of  matter,  the  selection  of  topics  is  at  all 
times  judicious.  Though  the  majcr  part  of  the 
book  is  psychological,  the  reader  will  probably 
think  that  the  work  as  a  whole  adds  one  more 
tribute  to  the  flexibility  of  that  term.  A  chapter 
of  physiology,  is  of  course,  a  recognized  element 
in  modern  works  on  psychology,  and  the  author 
is  justified  in  making  his  idea  of  education  include 
care  for  the  body  at  the  critical  period  which  he 
describes.  On  the  other  hand  it  may  not  be 
unnecessary  or  ungrateful  to  suggest  that  ethical 
and  teleological  elements  in  the  treatment  of  the 
general  subject  seem  to  obscure  the  scientific 
outlook.  Sexual  criminality  is  a  wide  and  import- 
ant field  of  which  it  is  hardly  sufficient  to  say 
(p.  147)  that  "one  records  with  deep  pain  the 
facts,"  when  in  the  text  the  facts  are  not  further 
stated  and  painful  is  not  as  such  a  scientific  category. 
Similarly  Professor  Tracy  tells  us  thjat  "strong 
religious  convictions,  deep  religious  feelings,  and 
pronounced  religious  decisions  are  more  likely  to 
occur  in  adolescence  than  in  any  other  period  of 
life"  (p.  200),  without  removing  the  possible 
ambiguity.  In  fact,  as  the  discussion  proceeds, 
it  seems  possible  th«t  the  author  omitted  to  con- 
sider a  type  known  to  Aristotle  and  to  Milton, 
namely  those  who  reach  an  abiding  peace  by 
adopting  the  principle,  "Evil  be  thou  my  good." 
Yet  these  also  are  genuine  specimens,  psycho- 
logically! 

But  the  interested  reader  is  always  too  much 
inclined  to  discuss  only  the  points  that  are  contro- 
versial, and  so  leave  on  the  minds  of  others  a  false 
impression.  It  is  certain  that  all  interested  in 
moral  and  religious  education  will  appreciate  this 
work  as  a  survey  of  the  field.  A  fairly  extensive 
bibliography  is  appended.

Sir  George  Foster  speaks  to  U.C.   Alumnae 

Sir  George  Foster  delivered  an  address  to 'the 
University  College  Alumnae  Association  at  the 
Mining  Building  on  October  21,  which  might  be 
taken  as  a  guide  for  women  in  their  new  political 
status.  He  stated  the  importance  of  democracy 
and  emphasized  the  fact  that  if  it  fell  short  of  its 
full  achievement  it  was  due  to  the  apathy  and 
indifference  of  the  public  in  regard  to  the  adminis- 
tration of  public  affairs.  He  then  went  on  to  point 
out  the  various  considerations  which  were  involved 
in  coming  to  a  decision  on  a  political  question. 
Finally  he  discussed  such  problems  as  the  national 
debt  and  the  tariff,  and  alluded  to  the  three  political 
parties  and  their  leaders  with  a  political  detach- 
ment quite  remarkable  from  one  who  for  so  long 
has  had  such  strong  partisan  affiliations. 

Sir  George  stressed  the  point  that  in  the  coming 
elections  there  would  be  an  addition  of  nearly  half 
the  voting  power  to  the  electorate,  which  would 
therefore  be  to  a  large  extent  an  untrained  and  un- 
informed body.  The  duty  of  the  new  electors,  he 
said,  was  to  make  up  for  their  deficiencies;  women 
must  study,  must  think,  and  must  submit  their 
theories  to  the  test  of  the  practical  experience  of 
the  world.  He  concluded  by  pointing  out  that  the 
people  of  to-day  are  responsible  for  the  condition 
of  the  next  generation.  In  working  out  legislation 
it  is,  therefore,  important  to  realize  that  we  are 
building  paths  in  which  future  generations  must 
tread. 


Montreal  Alumni  Hold  Successful  Annual 
Meeting 

President  Falconer,  Brig.  Gen.  Mitchell,  Prof. 
DeLury  and  E.  W.  Beatty,  Arts  '98,  Chancellor  of 
Queen's  and  McGill,  were  the  principal  speakers  at 
the  Annual  Dinner  Meeting  of  the  University  of 
Toronto  Alumni  Association,  Montreal  Branch,  held 
in  the  Windsor  Hotel,  Montreal,  oji  Friday  evening, 
October  14th.  In  addition  to  these  guests,  the 
eighty  men  present  heard  with  pleasure  from  Dr 
Jack  Maynard,  Coach  of  the  Varsity  Team,  and 
from  Mr  E.  R.  Cameron,  Arts  79,  representing  the 
Ottawa  alumni.  Addresses  were  made  also  by  J.  M. 
Robertson,  S.P.S.  '93,  retiring  Chairman;  Rev  R. 
W.  Dickie,  Arts  '94,  incoming  Chairman;  W.  F.

enthusiastically  adopted,  extending  congratulations 
and  good  wishes  to  McGill,  upon  her  Centenary 
celebrations;  and  Dr  Jos.  A.  Corcoran,  Med.  '98, 
who  expressed  the  appreciation  of  the  gathering  of 
the  efforts  of  the  retiring  Chairman  and  of  the 
honour  and  pleasure  extended  by  the  guests  of  the 
evening.  Roy  Campbell,  Arts  and  Forestry  '14, 
was  re-elected  Secretary-Treasurer  for  the  coming 
year.  A  series  of  parodies  composed  and  accom- 
panied on  the  piano  by  Prof.  C.  H.  Carruthers, 
Arts  '12,  were  projected  on  the  screen  for  all  to 
sing  and  went  far  to  enliven  the  evening.  Among 
those  present  were  members  of  the  Executive  of  the 
Engineering  Alumni  Association.  Subsequent  com- 
ment indicated  that  the  affair  was  one  of  genuine 
enjoyment  to  all  who  attended. 


The  late  John  Hoskin 

Following  an  illness  that  lasted  for  the  greater 
part  of  ten  years,  Dr  John  Hoskin  died  at  his  home 
in  Toronto  on  October  6,  in  his  eighty-sixth  year. 

Dr  Hoskin  was  a  native  of  Devonshire,  England, 
and  came  to  Canada  in  his  eighteenth  year.  He 
studied  Law  and  was  called  to  the  Bar  in  1863.  Dr 
Hoskin  was  chairman  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  of 
the  University  until  1906  and  was  chairman  of  the 
Board  of  Governors  from  that  date  until  1910. 
His  long  service  to  the  University  was  recognized 
in  1889  when  the  University  conferred  on  him  the 
honorary  degree  of  Doctor  of  Laws,  and  in  1910  on 
his  retiring  from  the  Board  of  Governors  his  portrait 
was  painted  and  added  to  the  University  gallery. 


Rev  John  Munro  Gibson  Dead 
The  death  of  the  Rev  John  Monro  Gibson  in 
London,  England,  on  October  13,  removed  one  of 
the  senior  graduates  of  the  University. 

Dr  Gibson  graduated  from  the  University  in  1862 
and  later  received  his  theological  education  in  Knox 
College.  For  a  number  of  years  he  held  a  pastorate 
in  Montreal  and  a  professorship  in  Montreal 
Theological  College.  In  1880  he  moved  to  London, 
England,  to  become  pastor  of  St.  John's  Wood 
Presbyterian  Church.  He  was  ex-moderator  of  the 
Presbyterian  Church  in  England,  and  the  author 
of  many  books  on  religious  subjects.  In  1902  the 
University  conferred  on  him  the  honorary  degree  of 
Doctor  of  Laws. 


The  Late  James  McCaig. 

The  death  took  place  in  Edmonton  on  October  8, 
of  James  McCaig,  B.A.  (U.C.)  '94,  M.A.  '97,  LL.B. 
He  had  not  been  well  for  some  time,  and  had  been 
forced  last  May  to  resign  his  duties  as  editorial 
director  of  the  publications  of  the  Provincial 
Government  of  Alberta.

of  education  in  Alberta.  Mr  McCaig  was  also  a 
regular  correspondent  to  leading  newspapers, 
among  others  the  Montreal  Star  and  the  Mani- 
toba Free  Press.  He  was  a  recognized  authority 
on  sheep  raising  and  other  branches  of  agriculture. 
He  wrote,  besides  this,  a  volume  on  "Civics"

educational  departments.  His  death  at  the  age

Through  'Varsity  and  Through  Life  Together 

Those  alumni  who  know  Eldred  Archibald,  B.A. 
'05,  and  Mrs  Archibald  (Irene  Love,  B.A.  '05), 
will  be  interested  to  learn  that  Mr  Archibald  was 
last  month  made  executive  editor  of  the  Montreal 
Star,  and  that  Mrs  Archibald  is  rapidly  recovering 
from  a  serious  operation  performed  in  the  Royal

he  was  legislative  correspondent;  was  in  the  "Gal- 
lery" at  Ottawa  in  1910-1912;  joined  the  Montreal 
Herald  in  1913,  following  which  he  was  on  the 
Montreal  Star  staff  as  special  writer,  literary 
editor,  and  later,  associate  editor,  before  being 
appointed  to  his  present  post. 

Mrs  Archibald,  whom  he  married  in  1912,  has 
had  a  most  interesting  career  in  journalistic  work, 
closely  associated  with  her  husband,  having  been 
with  the  Toronto  Star  and  World  1906-1907. 
After  studying  music  in  New  York  in  1908,  she

England  in  1910  on  Canadian  opportunities  for 
British  women;  was  musical  editor  of  the  Montreal

Safeguard   Their    Future 

The  future  livelihood  of  loved  ones  may  be  jeopardized  by 
failure  to  appoint  a  competent  executor  under  a  properly 
drawn  Will.  While  an  executor  carries  out  precisely  the 
terms  of  your  Will  his  lack  of  competent  judgment  in  hand- 
ling investments  may  lead  to  losses  avoidable  by  an  executor 
of  wide  experience. 

By  appointing  this  Trust  Company  as  executor  you  secure 
without  extra  expense,  the  services  of  our  board  of  directors 
and  a  staff  of  experts  with  experience  in  the  handling  of

TWO  NEW  BOOKS  ANY  STUDENT 
OR  ALUMNUS  WILL  APPRECIATE 


By  Madame  Pantazzi 
ROUMANIA  IN  LIGHT  AND  SHADOW 

Madame  Pantazzi  is  a  Canadian  girl  who, 
a  number  of  years  ago,  went  to  find  a  home 
and  country  in  Roumania.  She  has  lived 
very  closely  to  all  classes  in  her  adopted  land 
and  has  had  some  remarkable  experiences 
which  are  most  ably  portrayed  in  the  book. 
This  volume,  by  the  way,  gives  probably  the 
best  picture  extant  of  Roumania  as  it  was 
before  the  war  and  to-day. 

A  large  book,  English  made,  280  pages, 
with  numerous  representative  illustrations, 
$5.00. 


By  Joseph  Conrad 
NOTES  OF  LIFE  AND  LETTERS 

This  book  presents  Conrad  in  something 
of  a  new  light  as  a  biographer,  essayist  and 
autobiographer.  To  those  who  love  Conrad's 
style  and  presentation  it  would  be  exceed- 
ingly acceptable.  His  treatment  of  con- 
temporary writers  is,  as  that  of  all  his  work, 
inimitable.

district  surrounding  the  University  has  be- 
come very  unsuitable  for  rooming  house 
purposes,  owing  to  the  encroachment  of 
the  foreign  population  of  the  city.  Not 
only  is  the  accommodation  offered  poor, 
but  it  is  expensive.  Rents  appear  to  be 
going  up  rather  than  down.  From  $4  to 
$6  per  week  is  charged  for  single  rooms 
and  from  $6  to  $10  for  double  rooms. 

These  conditions  and  the  growth  of  the 
University  have  forced  many  students  to 
go  father  afield  for  living  quarters.  One 
effect  of  this  is  to  militate  against  the 
solidarity  of  the  student  body.  It  is 
increasingly  difficult  to  secure  good  atten- 
dances at  evening  meetings  because  so 
many  students  live  at  a  distance. 

Adequate  student  residence  accommoda- 
tion would  do  away  with  these  derogatory 
conditions  and  would  greatly  enrich  the 
education  of  many  undergraduates.  The 
majority  of  those  in  attendance  at  the 
University  are  in  need  of  the  socializing 
influences  such  as  are  found  in  dormitory 
life — the  intimate  acquaintanceships,  the 
intermingling,  and  the  shoulder  rubbing 
which  round  off  the  corners  and  afford  an 
education  as  essential  to  success  in  life 
as  is  class  room  work. 

An  eloquent  indication  of  the  feeling 
of  the  undergraduates  on  the  subject  is 
given  in  the  fact  that  the  women  students 
of  University  College  secured  for  the  U.C. 
Alumnae  Building  Fund  $11,000,  and  that 
another  campaign  with  an  objective  of 
$5,000  is  now  being  carried  on  by  the  First 
and  Second  Year  women  who  had  not 
previously  contributed. 

Residences  provide  a  very  attractive 
field  for  private  munificence.  It  is  unlikely 
that  Government  funds  will  ever  be  forth- 
coming for  the  purpose,  as  residences  are 
regarded  as  somewhat  of  an  "extra"  by 
those  not  closely  identified  with  University 
life.  Yet  the  benefits  which  would  accrue 
are  indisputable  and  almost  incalculable. 


Another  attractive  feature  of  residences 
as  a  benefaction  is  that  when  once  erected 
they  are  self-supporting;  no  burden  of 
maintenance  falls  upon  the  University. 


VARSITY 

WINS 

IN  RUGBY 

AND  SOCCER 


Varsity  has  com- 
pleted another  suc- 
cessful season  in  ath- 
letics, winning  the 
Senior  Rugby  Foot- 
ball and  Soccer  Championships,  and  as 
well  the  Intermediate  Rugby  and  the 
Harrier  Race.  The  Track  and  Tennis 
Championships  went  to  McGill  and  the 
Junior  Rugby  to  Queen's. 

As  is  usual  the  rugby  football  occupied 
the  spotlight  of  interest.  Varsity  got  off 
to  a  bad  start  by  being  defeated  by 
Queen's  at  Kingston  in  the  opening  game 
of  the  series  but  this  apparently  was 
exactly  what  was  needed  to  crystallize  the 
Varsity  fighting  spirit  and  bring  out  the 
best  efforts  of  the  team.  In  a  hard  fought 
game  in  Montreal,  McGill  was  held  to  a 
tie  and  both  Queen's  and  McGill  were 
defeated  in  Toronto.  The  team  was 
coached  by  Dr  Jack  Maynard. 

The  Intercollegiate  Rugby  Football 
Union  was  greatly  strengthened  this  year 
by  the  fact  that  Queen's  had,  for  the  first 
time  in  a  number  of  years,  a  team  which 
made  them  dangerous  contenders  for  the 
title.  Queen's  finished  second  in  the 
series  with  two  wins  and  two  losses  to 
McGill's  one  win,  one  tie,  and  two  losses. 

Practically  all  the  members  of  the  Var- 
sity team  are  expected  back  next  year. 
There  is  also  some  excellent  senior  material 
in  this  year's  intermediate  series  and  there 
is  talk  of  entering  a  team  in  the  Senior 
O.R.F.U.  next  year  in  addition  to  the 
intercollegiate  series. 

The  interfaculty  series  in  all  branches 
of  sport  were  this  year  of  a  particularly 
high  order.  The  magnificent  athletic 
facilities  of  Hart  House  are  doing  much  to 
popularize  sports  of  all  kinds  and  increase 
the  percentage  of  students  actively  engaged 
in  them.

UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO  MONTHLY 


"THE  SPIRIT 
DOES  IT" 


Without  fear  of 
contradiction  it  may 
be  said  that  at  the 
University  of  Toronto  to-day  there  is  a 
sport  which,  for  good  feeling,  cleanness  and 
freedom  from  any  taint  of  professionalism, 
cannot  be  surpassed  on  the  continent.  The 
play-the-game  qualities  of  Varsity  teams 
have  recently  been  very  outstanding.  The 
coaching  is  strictly  amateur  in  both  foot- 
ball and  hockey,  and  yet  in  competition 
with  professionally  coached  teams  Varsity 
has  a  habit  of  coming  out  on  top.  "The 
spirit  does  it." 

The  new  ruling  of  the  Intercollegiate 
Unions  which  prohibits  a  student  who  is 
repeating  his  year  from  playing  on  Varsity 
teams,  has  done  away  with  the  possibility 
of  men  attending  the  University  for  the 
sake  of  athletics  only.  Nor  is  any  special 
consideration  shown  the  members  of  senior 
teams  at  examination  time.  The  con- 
sequence is  that  he  who  would  be  a  football 
or  hockey  hero  must  be  prepared  for  very 
strenuous  work.  The  time  which  is  taken 
from  studies  for  practising  and  out-of- 
town  games  must  be  made  up  in  some  way. 
Last  winter  the  captain  of  the  hockey  team 
could  be  seen  almost  any  morning  wending 
his  way  to  the  draughting  room  at  an  hour 
when  most  of  his  fellow  students  were  still 
abed.  Others  carry  note-books  and  study 
on  trains  and  in  hotel  bed-rooms.  Repre- 
senting the  University  in  athletics  is  not  a 
sinecure.  The  men  understand  that  sport 
must  not  interfere  with  things  academic.

The  interviewing 
work  in  connection 
with  the  returned 
soldier  loans  has  been 
completed  with  the  exception  of  the 
applications  from  the  Dental  College, 
which  are  delayed  owing  to  the  fact  that 
the  College  has  not  been  able,  at  the  time 
of  writing,  to  complete  its  arrangements 
for  the  postponement  of  payment  of  fees. 
122  men  have  been  recommended  for  loans 
from  the  Alumni  Federation  and  16  for  fees 
only. 

The  amounts  recommended  by  Faculties

TO  SCIENCE  Faculty    of    Applied 

Science.  E.  A.  All- 
cut,  a  graduate  of  Birmingham  University, 
is  the  newly  appointed  associate-professor 
in  the  Department  of  Thermodynamics. 
Professor  Allcut  has  received  the  M.Sc. 
degree  and  was  awarded  the  Bowen  Re- 
search Scholarship  and  the  Heslop  Gold 
Medal.  He  is  an  associate  member  of 
both  the  Institute  of  Mechanical  Engineers 
and  of  Civil  Engineers  and  an  associate 
fellow  of  the  Royal  Aeronautical  Society. 

Professor  Allcut  has  had  much  interest- 
ing practical  work  in  connection  with  his 
profession.  He  performed  the  first  experi- 
mental and  testing  work  on  the  Humphrey 
internal  combustion  pump.  Later  he  was 
manager  of  the  engineering  and  testing 
machine  departments  of  W.  &  T.  Avery, 
Ltd.,  of  Birmingham,  the  original  shop  of 
the  old  firm  of  James  Watt  and  Company. 
During  the  war  Professor  Allcut  designed 
a  large  number  of  special  machines  for 
testing  the  materials  used  in  the  con- 
struction of  aeroplanes,  aeroplane-engines 
and  shells,  and  at  the  close  of  the  war  he 
was  Chief  Inspector  of  Materials  for  the 
Austin  Motor  Company  of  Northfield,  and 
was  sent  last  year  to  France  to  reorganize 
the  tractor  plant  of  the  company  near  Paris. 
He  had  just  set  up  a  practice  as  consulting 
engineer,  which  he  has  given  up  in  order 
to  join  the  staff  of  the  University.

ASSOCIATION 
OF  SCIENCE  TO

sessions  at  the  University  from  December 
27  to  31.  Though  this  is  the  seventy- 
fourth  meeting  of  the  Association  it  has 
met  only  three  times  in  Canada,  once 
before  in  Toronto  and  twice  (in  1859  and 
in  1882)  in  Montreal.  This  meeting  will 
bring  together  some  of  the  foremost 
scientists  in  the  United  States  and  Canada. 
The  chief  object  of  the  Association  is  to 
promote  scientific  research.  Realizing  the 
importance  of  research  in  the  welfare  of  a 
country's  industries,  both  urban  and  rural, 
the  Government  of  Ontario  is  making  a 
grant  of  $5,000  and  the  City  of  Toronto  a 
grant  of  $1,000  towards  the  expenses  of 
this  meeting.  The  Association  has  a 
membership  of  over  12,000  and  this  year's 
meeting,  because  of  its  international  char- 
acter, will  probably  be  attended  by  more 
than  one  thousand  of  these  members.  .  The 
residences  of  the  University  of  Toronto  are 
being  utilized  for  housing  the  members 
who  come  from  outside  of  Toronto.  The 
subjects  that  will  be  dealt  with  at  these 
meetings  are  Mathematics,  Physics,  Chem- 
istry, Astronomy,  Geology,  Geography, 
Zoology,  Botany,  Anthropology,  Psy- 
chology, Social  and  Economic  Sciences, 
Engineering,  Medical  Sciences,  Agriculture, 
Education,  and  Manufacturing. 

During  the  course  of  the  session  there 
will  be  on  exhibition  in  the  Examination 
Hall,  at  the  back  of  Convocation  Hall,  a 
very  interesting  collection  of  scientific 
apparatus  and  products,  chiefly  in  Physics 
and  Chemistry,  and  a  display  of  the  most 
recent  scientific  books. 

The  session  will  open  on  Tuesday 
evening,  December  27,  with  a  lecture 
by  the  retiring  President,  Dr  L.  O.  Howard, 
who  spoke  recently  in  Toronto.  On 
Wednesday  evening  there  will  be  an  address 
by  Professor  William  Bateson,  Director  of 
John  Innes  Horticultural  Institute,  Mer- 
ton,  England.  Dr  Bateson  is  a  specialist 
in  genetics.  Another  outstanding  speaker 
will  be  Dr  R.  W.  Yerkes,  of  the  Carnegie 
Institute,  Washington,  who  will  tell  of  the 
workings  of  the  National  Council  for  Re- 
search. Sir  Adam  Beck  will  speak  on  the 
afternoon  of  Thursday,  December  29,  on 
the  Hydro-Electric  System  and  will  illus- 
trate his  address  with  moving  pictures. 

Altogether  these  meetings  will  furnish  a 
most  comprehensive  survey  of  the  latest 
achievements  in  science  and  the  City  of 
Toronto  is  fortunate  in  having  the  privilege 


of  being  the  centre  chosen  for  this  import- 
ant gathering. 


CAMPUS 

RECOVERS  FROM 
WAR  INJURIES 


It  has  gone.  The 
unsightly  fence  a- 
round  the  front  cam- 
pus is  a  thing  of  the 
past  and  for  the  first  time  in  seven  years 
the  Varsity  Lawn  looks  itself  again.  With 
the  outbreak  of  war  the  Campus  was 
sacrificed,  along  with  everything  else,  to 
the  great  cause.  It  has  taken  three  years 
to  bring  it  back  to  its  original  state  for 
the  tramping  of  many  feet  for  four  years 
wrought  havoc  with  the  old  Lawn.  Now 
the  ceaseless  hurrying  to  and  fro  of  the 
students  replaces  the  steady  march  of  the 
soldiers.  It  is  one  more  sign  of  the  gradual 
readjustment  of  life  at  Varsity  and  the 
tendency  to  return  to  the  normal  again. 


DR  JACK  MAYNARD 

Honorary  football  coach  to  whom  much  praise  for  the  team's 
success  is  due.  As  coach  he  displayed  the  same  outstanding 
"football  brains"  as  he  did  in  the  days  when  he  was  the  best 
halfback  in  the  game. 


TOWN-PLANNING 

COURSE 

IN   JANUARY 


The  University  Ex- 
tension Department 
announces  a  course 
in  Town-Planning  to 
be  given  from  January  9  to  21.  The  course 
is  designed  primarily  for  experfs  in  the 
field,  but  is  open  to  all  those  interested  in 
the  subject. 

Among  the  subjects  to  be  discussed  are: 
housing  and  health,  recreation,  economic 
aspects  of  housing,  topography,  road- 
making,  legal  powers  of  municipalities,

treatment  of  open  spaces  and  street  trans- 
portation. Professors  Berrington,  Tread-

the  Director  of  University  Extension. 


STUDENTS' 
COURT  IMPOSES 
FINES 


All  the  pomp  and 
circumstance  that 
surrounds  a  court  of 
justice  was  noticeable 
at  t  he  first  trial  held  before  the  reorganized 
Students'  Court  of  the  University  when 
$150  in  fines  was  imposed  on  the  First 
and  Second  Year  in  Medicine  for  unlaw- 
fully taking  part  in  a  street  parade.  After 
the  preliminary  convening  of  the  court  the 
ten  trial  Judges  marched  in  in  their 
academic  robes  while  the  audience  re- 
mained standing  in  respectful  attitude 
until  they  had  taken  their  seats  at  the 
head  of  the  room.  Proceedings  opened 
with  the  formal  charge  read  by  the  Clerk 
of  the  Court  to  the  effect  that  in  holding 
a  parade  the  First  and  Second  Year  of 
Medicine  had  set  at  naught  the  rules  of 
the  Students'  Administrative  Council. 

After  the  case  had  proceeded  along  these 
formal  lines  the  verdict  of  "guilty"  was 
finally  pronounced  and  the  fines  imposed. 
It  is  interesting  to  note  that  the  trial  was 
conducted  entirely  by  students  and  that 
the  constitution  used  was  drawn  up  by 
members  of  the  student  body.  The  only 
court  of  appeal  is  the  Caput.  The  decision 
does  not  mean  that  parades  cannot  be 
held,  but  that,  according  to  the  rules  of 
the  University,  they  must  be  sanctioned  in 
advance  by  the  authorities. 


PROFESSOR 

WRONG 

ON   INITIATIONS 


In  the  last  issue  of 
THE  MONTHLY  there 
appeared  an  article 
by  Principal  Hutton 
condemning  initiation  ceremonies  as  a 
practice  without  historical  explanation  or 
justification  in  this  country,  but  rather  an 
uncalled-for  imitation  of  the  United  States, 
and  a  gratuitous  piece  of  folly.  Professor 
G.  M.  Wrong  has  now  taken  up  the  cudgels 
and  maintains  in  a  letter  to  The  Varsity 
that  even  in  the  United  States  initiations 
have  died  out  except  in  backwoods  colleges. 
His  informant  is  a  Canadian  professor  at 
Harvard  University  who  says:  "We  have 
no  hazing  at  Harvard  and  no  initiation 
rites  for  freshmen.  Many  years  ago  we 
had  both,  but  they  have  been  gradually 


eliminated  until  now  the  whole  thing  is 
merely  a  memory.  Getting  rid  of  these 
things  was  not  a  matter  of  discipline  but  of 
educating  student  opinion.  ...  In  many 
of  the  small  colleges  on  this  side  of  the 
border  and  in  Western  institutions,  these 
antics  still  persist." 

In  concluding  Professor  Wrong  says  that 
the  only  influence  which  will  stop  this  in 
Toronto  is  the  public  opinion  of  the 
students.  In  his  opinion  "every  kind  of 
initiation  rite  should  go.  The  whole  idea 
is  vulgar  and  barbarous.  Its  continuance 
here  has  caused  the  University  of  Toronto 
to  be  regarded  as  primitive  and  half- 
civilized." 


UNIVERSITY 
SPIRIT  COMING 
TO  THE  FORE 


Varsity  first!  Arts, 
Meds,  School,  or 
whatever  it  may  be, 
second!  That  is  the 
spirit  which  is  coming  to  the  fore  in  Uni- 
versity life  to-day.  The  old  conditions 
under  which  College  or  Faculty  meant 
practically  everything  and  University 
spirit  almost  nothing  are  passing  away. 
The  student  body  is  becoming  a  unit. 

Formerly  the  playing  fields  and  Con- 
vocation Hall  provided  the  only  common 
meeting  grounds  of  all  students.  Now  the 
students  of  different  Faculties  are  brought 
together  in  many  different  ways.  The 
Varsity  has  got  clear  from  its  traditional 
connection  with  the  U.C.  Lit.  and  is  now 
a  University  organ,  compulsorily  sub- 
scribed for  by  every  student  of  the  Uni- 
versity and  its  affiliated  Colleges.  The 
Goblin  is  also  common  to  all  Colleges. 

In  organizations,  too,  the  tendency  is 
toward  the  all-University.  The  Hart 
House  clubs — Sketch  Club,  Music  Club, 
Camera  Club,  and  others — embrace  stud- 
ents of  all  units  of  the  University.  The 
Glee  Club,  the  Veterans  Association,  the 
Women's  Press  Club,  all  bring  the  students 
of  different  Faculties  together. 

The  tendency  is  in  the  right  direction. 
College  insularity  is  being  wiped  out  and 
College  rivalry  is  being  placed  on  a 
broader,  less  petty  basis. 


The  December  num- 
ber of  the  Canadian 
Historical  Review,  the 
quarterly  review  of 
historical  work  which  is  published  by  the

NEWS  OF 
T.  KENNARD 
THOMSON 


In  our  last  issue  we 
published  a  moving 
appeal  for  alumni 
news.  It  met  with  at 
least  one  direct  response.  Dr  T.  Kennard 
Thomson,  Science  '92,  prominent  New 
York  ^engineer,  sent  in  the  following 
replies:

SEND  IT  TO  THE  EDITOR 

Mr  Thomson  has  recently  put  forward 
an  ambitious  scheme  for  the  expansion  of 
New  York  City.  His  plan  is  to  extend 
Manhattan  some  six  miles  down  the  bay 
from  the  Battery  and  link  up  by  tunnel 
with  Staten  Island.  This  would  not  only 
add  some  six  square  miles  of  land  to 


Manhattan  but  would  extend  to  Staten 
Island,  now  isolated,  transportation  facili- 
ties similar  to  those  at  present  afforded  to 
Brooklyn. 

Mr  Thomson's  scheme  has  met  with  a 
favourable  reception  and  a  Corporation  to 
advance  it  has  been  formed.

Principal  Currie: 

Dear  SIR  ROBERT: 

I  wish,  on  behalf  of  the  Board  of  Gover- 
nors, the  Corporation,  the  Teaching  Staff, 
and  all  the  well-wishers  of  McGill  Univer- 
sity, to  thank  most  warmly  and  sincerely 
the  University  of  Toronto  for  the  good 
wishes  and  congratulations  tendered 
McGill  on  the  occasion  of  the  celebration 
of  her  centenary. 

McGill  enters  the  second  century  of  her 
existence  in  a  humble  spirit,  grateful  for 
the  blessings  of  the  past,  and  trying  to 
appreciate  the  responsibilities  and  privi- 
leges of  the  present  and  future.  She  will 
endeavour  to  merit  in  an  increasing  degree 
the  respect  and  esteem  of  sister  universities, 
and  to  the  University  of  Toronto  she 
extends  most  cordial  good  wishes. 
Yours  faithfully, 

A.  W.  CURRIE, 
Principal. 

Sir  Robert  Falconer  has  just  returned 
from  New  York,  where  he  attended,  on 
November  16,  the  annual  meeting  of  the

tion for  the  Advancement  of  Teaching. 
He  was  elected  Vice-Chairman  of  the 
Board. 

Among  the  matters  which  were  most 
discussed  were  the  teaching  of  Medicine 
in  the  Universities  of  Canada  and  the 
United  States,  university  sports,  and  the 
Teachers'  Insurance  and  Annuity  Associa- 
tion, which  is  one  of  the  activities  of  the 
Foundation.  This  latter  organization,  of 
which  Professor  M.  A.  MacKenzie,  of  the 
University  of  Toronto,  is  Vice-President, 
offers  an  excellent  superannuation  arrange- 
ment of  which  three  hundred  colleges  avail 
themselves.

UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO  MONTHLY 


Once  again  the  birthday  of  Hart  House 
has  been  fittingly  celebrated.  The  Mas- 
querade, which  was  held  on  November  16, 
was  a  triumphant  success  and  bids  fair 
to  become  an  annual  function.  It  is  the 
one  occasion  in  the  Social  Calendar  of  the 
University  that  an  attempt  is  made  on  a 
large  scale  to  unite  the  students  of  the 
different  faculties.  With  Hart  House  as 
the  central  bond  and  the  institution  of  an 
annual  Hart  House  Masquerade  or  Dance 
the  foundations  may  be  laid  for  the  building 
up  of  a  firmer  and  more  lively  esprit  de 
corps  among  the  various  Colleges  of  the 
University. 


An  expedition  of  physiologists,  under  the 
direction  of  Professor  Bancroft  of  Cam- 
bridge, England,  which  left  recently  for 
Peru  will  travel  to  the  highest  point  of  the 
Central  Peruvian  Railway  in  order  to  study 
the  cause  of  mountain  srckness.  The 
University  of  Toronto  is  interested  in  this 
expedition  because  a  large  number  of  the 
analyses  of  blood  and  excreta  are  to  be 
made  here,  and  also  because  one  of  the 
members  is  Professor  A.  C.  Redfield,  who 
was  on  the  staff  in  Physiology  here  last 
year.  After  he  returns  from  Peru,  Pro- 
fessor Bancroft  will  come  to  Toronto, 
where  he  is  to  give  one  of  the  lectures 
before  the  Royal  Canadian  Institute  on 
February  4. 


The  newly  created  fellowship  in  Phy- 
siology of  the  American  Physiological 
Society,  donated  by  Professor  W.  T. 
Porter,  of  Harvard,  has  been  awarded  to 
Dr  J.  Hepburn,  a  graduate  in  Medicine  of 
the  University  of  Toronto  of  1921.  Dr 
Hepburn  received  the  scholarship  in  con- 
sideration of  the  high  standing  which  he 
took  as  a  student  here. 


The  members  of  the  staff  of  University 
College  and  their  wives  have  established 
the  custom  of  being  At  Home  to  the 
students  of  the  College  one  afternoon  each 
week.  Every  Thursday  afternoon  tea  is 
served  in  the  Graduates'  Room  in  the 
Library,  formerly  the  old  Book  Room. 
These  weekly  informal  meetings  originated 
last  spring  in  an  effort  to  bring  the  staff 


and  students  in  closer  contact  with  each 
other  and  thus  to  remove  one  of  the  strong 
objections  to  a  large  College,  where  it  is 
argued  that  the  students  can  never  get 
into  personal  touch  with  their  instructors. 


Dr.  Seager  Installed  as 
Provost  of  Trinity 


THE  affectionate  interest  which  the 
graduates  and  friends  of  Trinity  feel 
for  the  College  was  shown  by  the 
large  crowd  which  filled  Convocation  Hall 
on  November  17  to  witness  the  installation 
of  the  new  Provost.  There  were  present 
many  dignitaries  of  the  Church  of  England 
and  numerous  representatives  of  Canadian 
institutions  of  higher  learning. 

Following  the  reading  of  prayers  by 
Dean  Duckworth,  Chancellor  Worrell  ad- 
dressed the  gathering.  He  gave  a  brief 
historical  sketch  of  the  College,  outlining 
the  work  which  had  been  done  by  the  four 
Provosts  who  preceded  Dr  Seager,  referring 
particularly  to  the  great  service  rendered 
the  College  by  Dr  Macklem.  He  pointed 
out  the  magnitude  of  the  task  which  con- 
fronted Dr  Seager  in  transferring  the 
College  from  its  old  position  to  the  new 
site  in  Queen's  Park  and  expressed  un- 
bounded confidence  in  the  new  Provost's 
ability  to  carry  the  matter  through  success- 
fully and  to  lead  Trinity  into  a  sphere  of 
greater  usefulness  and  influence. 

The  declarations  of  office  were  then 
made  and  Dr  Seager  was  presented  by 
Their  Lordships,  the  Bishops  of  Toronto 
and  Ottawa.  As  Dr  Seager  faced  the 
audience  the  student  body  broke  in  with 
the  Trinity  College  yell  and  two  College 
songs,  one  of  which  was  composed  for  the 
occasion. 

Dr  Seager  spoke  of  the  great  work  which 
his  predecessor  in  office  had  done  in  joining 
Trinity  with  the  University,  in  strengthen- 
ing the  financial  standing  of  the  College, 
and  in  gathering  about  him  a  staff  of  out- 
standing ability.  He  hoped  that  he  might 
be  able  to  follow  in  Dr  Macklem's  footsteps 
to  the  benefit  of  Trinity  and  the  University. 

A  number  of  Church  and  University 
representatives  spoke  briefly,  conveying  to 
Dr  Seager  the  good  wishes  of  the  bodies 
which  they  represented. 


What  The  Alumni  Federation  Means 


A  Letter  from  the  President  of  the  Federation 


Dear  Mr  Editor: 

I  have  been  asked  the  following  ques- 
tions: 

1.  Why    is    the    reorganization    of    the 
Alumni  Association  and  its  crystallization 
into   an   incorporated   body   necessary   or 
even  desirable? 

2.  What   does    the    Federation    scheme 
really  mean  and  what  new  purpose  is  it  to 
serve? 

Inasmuch  as  the  answers  to  these  queries 
may  be  of  interest  to  many  of  your  readers 
I  venture  to  write  you  this  letter. 

The  old  Alumni  Association  was  a 
voluntary  Association  of  individuals  con- 
sisting, according  to  its  Constitution,  of 
every  man,  woman,  and  child  who  at  any 
time  had  attended  the  University  for  one 
term.  When  this  vague  and  unwieldy 
body  found  itself  the  trustee  of  a  Memorial 
Fund  of  more  than  $300,000  and  began  the 
administration  of  that  Fund,  inconveniences 
at  once  appeared.  The  first  of  these  arose 
when  it  was  desired  to  make  a  written 
agreement  committing  the  practical  in- 
vestment and  management  of  the  Fund  to 
a  regularly  organized  Trust  Company  as 
the  agent  of  the  Association.  This  situa- 
tion was  the  immediate  cause  of  the  deter- 
mination to  incorporate.  It  was  also 
foreseen  that  a  problem  of  even  greater 
difficulty  would  present  itself  when  the 
question  of  letting  the  contract  for  building 
the  Memorial  Tower  came  up  for  con- 
sideration, as  there  was  no  responsible 
body  which  could  make  a  firm  bargain  with 
the  contractor,  and  the  personal  guarantee 
of  a  number  of  the  members  of  the  Board 
of  Directors  would  have  been  necessary. 

These  considerations  gave  rise  to  the 
view  that  the  reorganization  and  the  in- 
corporation of  the  old  Association  was 
desirable,  and  it  is  expected  that  additional 
advantages  will  accrue  from  its  becoming 
a  permanent  body,  governed  by  definite 
and  well  considered  by-laws  with  power 
to  act  as  a  corporation,  directly  and  legally 
through  its  Board  of  Directors. 

Turning  now  to  the  second  question, 
namely,  "What  does  the  Federation  idea 
really  mean  and  what  new  purpose  is  it 
to  serve?" 

I  desire  in  the  first  place  to  make  clear 
the  fact  that  the  Federation  is  designed 


not  to  eliminate  or  to  diminish  but  to 
foster  College,  Faculty,  and  Local  Alumni 
Associations.  The  function  of  the  Federa- 
tion will  be  to  carry  on  the  chief  executive 
operations  of  the  Alumni  body,  such  as 
the  publication  of  THE  MONTHLY,  the 
administration  of  the  Memorial  Fund,  the 
promotion  of  the  effort  to  secure  more 
adequate  financial  support  for  the  Uni- 
versity through  the  adoption  of  the  Uni- 
versity Commission's  Report,  and  in 
general  to  take  action  on  matters  per- 
taining to  the  University  as  a  whole. 

At  the  same  time  it  is  fully  realized  that 
while  all  such  executive  functions  can  best 
be  performed  by  a  central  body,  equipped 
with  a  Secretary,  an  office,  and  a  regular 
staff,  yet  the  sentimental  attachment  of 
the  individual  alumnus  binds  him  primarily 
to  his  College  or  his  Faculty.  Therefore  it 
is  desirable  that  each  Faculty  or  College 
within  the  University  should  have  its  own 
Alumni  Association  devoted  to  gatherings 
of  its  members  and  to  the  more  sectional 
interests  of  the  University  unit  concerned. 

It  is  hoped  that  the  formation  of  the 
Federation  will  mean  increased  efficiency 
and  increased  interest  in  the  alumni  work 
in  all  its  branches  and  a  larger  membership 
in  all  the  associations.  In  the  past  there 
has  been  some  lack  of  co-ordination  among 
the  alumni  organizations  and  considerable 
duplication  of  fees.  If  there  can  be 
arranged  a  combined  fee  to  include  mem- 
bership both  in  College  associations  and  in 
the  Federation,  and  subscription  to  THE 
MONTHLY,  the  duplication  of  fees  will  be 
avoided,  and  it  is  hoped  that  the  member- 
ship will  be  increased.  The  Federation 
will  assist  College  Associations  by  keeping 
their  records,  doing  their  clerical  work, 
and  in  many  other  ways  placing  its  staff 
at  their  disposal.  In  return,  the  Federa- 
tion expects  the  College  Associations  to  do 
their  utmost  to  promote  the  objects  of  the 
Federation  and  to  secure  for  it  large 
increases  in  its  membership. 

These  are,  roughly  speaking,  the  main 
outlines  of  the  scheme  as  it  stands.  The 
details  remain  as  yet  to  be  worked  out 
with  each  of  the  separate  Associations. 

Yours  very  truly, 

C.  A.  MASTEN.

Does  Higher  Education  Pay  the  Province? 

By  JOHN  R.  BONE  '99 
MANAGING  EDITOR,  Toronto  Daily  Star 


IT  costs  the  University  of  Toronto  $216 
to  give  an  Arts  student  one  year's 
tuition,  according  to  a  recent  analysis 
of  University  costs. 

Towards  this  amount  the  student  con- 
tributes in  fees  the  sum  of,  say,  $50. 

There  is,  therefore,  on  each  Arts  student 
a  deficit  of  $166  a  year,  which  is  contributed 
by  some  person  or  persons  other  than  the 
student  himself. 

If  there  are  2,000  Arts  students  attending 
the  University  simultaneously,  there  is  a 
deficit  in  one  year  of  $332,000,  to  be 
secured  from  some  treasure  store  house. 

Similar  figures  can  be  quoted  for  the 
other  faculties,  and  the  aggregate  of  such 
deficits  represents  what  it  costs,  over  and 
above  what  the  students  themselves  pay, 
to  carry  on  University  operations  for  one 
year. 

Or  again,  the  Arts  student,  who  becomes 
a  graduate,  has  at  the  end  of  four  years 
incurred  for  the  University  a  deficit  of  four 
times  $166,  that  is  $664.  In  other  words, 
the  graduate  has  secured  something  for 
$664  less  than  cost.  He  has  incurred  a 
moral  debt  which  can  be  estimated  in 
terms  of  cash  at  this  amount.  If  the  staff 
which  has  supplied  the  tuition  has  been, 
during  the  process,  overworked  and  under- 
paid the  moral  debt  is  by  so  much,  greater. 

One  wonders  whether  the  fact  ever  lies 
upon  the  graduate's  conscience.  One 
wonders  whether  he  (or  she)  has  even 
thought  about  it,  or  whether  there  is  on 
the  contrary  a  disposition  on  the  part  of 
some  graduates  to  take  the  view  that  they 
have  been  rather  conferring  a  favour  upon 
the  University  and  upon  the  community, 
by  taking  the  course  of  instruction  pro- 
vided by  the  University.  One  has  heard 
in  gatherings  of  Alumni  complaint  made 
that  the  University  does  nothing  for  its 
graduates,  the  intimation  being  that  the 
University  owes  a  debt  to  its  graduates 
which  ought  to  be  discharged.  It  is,  of 
course,  desirable  from  the  University's 


point  of  view  that  it  should  attach  to  itself 
by  every  means  in  its  power,  the  affection 
and  loyalty  of  its  graduates,  and  to  that 
end  it  may  well  adopt  any  suggestion 
which  would  enable  it  to  forge  another 
bond  between  it  and  its  Alumni.  But 
when  it  comes  to  a  question  of  debt,  or  of 
obligation,  the  University  has  no  debt  to 
its  graduates  to  discharge.  The  obligation 
is  all  the  other  way. 

The  obligation  of  the  graduate  does  not 
end  with  the  University*.  Deficits  are  not 
supplied  by  the  University  from  some 
secret  source  of  wealth.  Deficits  are  met 
by  the  Province  of  Ontario  and  it  is, 
therefore,  to  the  community  as  a  whole,  as 
organized  for  Provincial  affairs,  that  the 
student  and  the  graduate  of  the  University 
is  obligated. 

This  fact  suggests  two  questions.  The 
first,  a  personal  one;  the  second,  general 
in  its  application.  The  first  question  is: 
"What  benefit  has  it  been  to  the  Province 
to  spend  $664,  or  whatever  the  amount 
happens  to  be,  in  giving  me  a  University 
degree  and  in  giving  you  a  University 
degree?"  Have  we  rendered  any  service 
to  the  Province  in  return  for  that  ex- 
penditure? This  is  a  question  which  must 
be  left  to  each  individual  to  answer  for 
himself  or  herself. 

The  second  question  is  simply  the  first 
question  generalized  but  in  its  generalised 
form  it  represents  the  essence  of  the  whole 
acute  question  of  University  finance.  It 
may  be  expressed  in  this  form:  "What 
benefit  is  it  to  the  Province  to  provide 
University  education  at  less  than  cost  to 
all  who  may  apply  for  it?" 

This  is  a  question  that  has  to  be  answered 
and  answered  to  the  satisfaction  of  the 
tax-payers  of  the  Province  before  the 
finances  of  the  University  will  rest  on  a 
thoroughly  substantial  and  permanent 
foundation. 

It  is  only  in  the  last  few  years  that  the 
question  has  been  brought  home  to  the

public,  perhaps  a  fortunate  thing  for  the 
University,  or  perhaps  unfortunate,  accord- 
ing to.  the  point  of  view.  Twenty  years  or 
so  ago  there  were  no  deficits  which  could 
not  be  discharged  out  of  the  University's 
assured  sources  of  income.  The  com- 
munity paid  but  didn't  feel  it.  University 
expenditure  in  those  days  was  like  cold 
weather  in  Winnipeg;  it  was  away  below 
zero  but  one  didn't  feel  it.  Later  there 
was  the  provision  under  which  supple- 
mentary University  revenue  came  from 
Succession  Duties.  Perhaps  it  was  thought 
that  under  this  arrangement  also  the  public 
wouldn't  "feel"  University  expenditures. 
Succession  duties  were  at  first  regarded  as 
a  sort  of  windfall  in  State  revenue.  But 
now  they  have  become  standardized  and 
increasingly  important.  There  is  a  fairly 
strong  presumption  that  they  will  continue 
to  increase,  not  merely  because  of  increase 
in  the  number  of  large  estates  but  by 
increases  in  the  scale  of  taxation.  In 
Ontario  they  have  already  become  one 
of  the  important  sources  of  revenue  and 
may  in  time  become  the  most  important. 
As  this  process  goes  on  it  will  become 
increasingly  difficult  for  the  public  to 
recognize  these  duties  as  a  thing  apart,  a 
revenue  that  should  be  set  aside  for  any 
particular  purpose,  although  it  might  in 
passing  be  pointed  out  that  some  advocates 
of  Succession  duties  extension  urge,  that 
the  tax,  being  virtually  a  tax  on  capital, 
ought  to  be  devoted  not  to  current  expenses 
but  to  capital  improvements,  such  as 
permanent  works. 

But  the  point  is  that  now  that  Succession 
duties  have  come  to  be  regarded  as  a 
regular  and  important  source  of  Provincial 
revenue,  and  that  simultaneously  Uni- 
versity requirements  from  the  Provincial 
Treasury  have  grown  from  $500,000  a  year 
to  three  or  four  times  that  amount,  it  is 
not  possible,  even  if  it  were  desirable,  to 
divert  public  scrutiny  and  questioning 
from  University  expenditures  by  simply 
linking  them  up  with  Succession  Duties. 
Whether  University  revenue  in  the  future 
comes  from  Succession  Duties  or  not,  the 
public,  called  on  to  pay  $2,000,000  a  year, 
is  going  to  know  about  it  and  is  going  to 
want  an  answer  to  the  question:  "What 


benefit  is  it  to  the  Province  to  provide 
University  education  at  less  than  cost?" 
Why  not  spend  that  two  million  a  year  on 
more  good  roads  or  on  taking  hydro 
power  to  the  farms,  or  on  the  less  advanced 
stages  of  education,  or  in  a  dozen  other 
enterprises  that  might  find  eager  sup- 
porters? 

Perhaps  it  will  be  found  to  be  more 
difficult  to  answer  the  problem  because 
there  has  been  such  a  long  silence,  but  as 
any  graduate  of  the  University  knows,  or 
should  know,  it  is  not  a  difficult  problem 
to  answer.  It  has  been  answered  in  the 
neighbouring  state  of  Michigan,  in  Wis- 
consin, in  California,  and  in  scores  of  other 
communities,  which  Ontario  citizens  would 
be  sorry  to  think  have  a  truer  perception 
of  what  is  worth  while  than  we  have. 

There  is  the  question:  "What  benefit 
is  it  to  the  Province  to  provide  University 
education  at  less  than  cost?" 

Answer  it  so  that  all  may  be  convinced, 
and  the  problem  of  University  finances 
will  automatically  solve  itself,  for  this  is  a 
wealthy  province  with  almost  limitless 
possibilities  of  achievement.  But  the 
question  must  be  answered. 

AND  WHO  IS  GOING  TO  ANSWER 
IT  IF  UNIVERSITY  ALUMNI  DO 
NOT? 

Suppose  readers  of  the  UNIVERSITY  OF 
TORONTO  MONTHLY  send  in  their  answers 
for  publication. 

It  is  not  the  intention  of  these  lines  to 
suggest,  as  the  opening  paragraphs  might, 
that  the  relation  of  Alumni  to  the  Uni- 
versity is  a  mere  matter  of  dollars  and 
cents.  The  real  obligation,  the  bond  which 
draws  us  irresistibly  to  the  University,  has 
no  such  sordid  foundation.  But  the 
thought  it  is  desired  to  suggest  is  that  the 
University,  having  a  real  and  acute  prob- 
lem of  dollars  and  cents,  a  problem  incurred 
on  behalf  of  her  graduates  and  under- 
graduates, it  is  decidedly  an  obligation 
upon  every  graduate  and  undergraduate 
to  assist  the  University  in  solving  that 
problem.  It  can  only  be  solved  by  con- 
vincing our  fellow  citizens  that  University 
education  is  not  only  a  good  investment, 
but  the  very  best  investment  the  Province 
can  make. 


Graduate  Organizations  of  the  University  of  Toronto.— II. 


By  J.  SQUAIR 
PROFESSOR  EMERITUS  OF  FRENCH 


IN  our  first  article  (MONTHLY,  November, 
1921,  pp.  61-64)  some  account  has 
been  given  of  the  active  part  of  the  life 
of  Convocation,  of  the  life  (1892-1895)  of 
the  ill-fated  Alumni  Association  of  Uni- 
versity College,  and  of  the  inauguration 
(April  17,  1900)  of  the  still  existing  Alumni 
Association  of  the  University  of  Toronto. 
As  has  been  mentioned,  Dr  R.  A.  Reeve 
was  its  first  President  and  Dr  J.  C.  Mc- 
Lennan its  first  Secretary.  A  word  or  two 
has  also  been  said  with  respect  to  the 
interest  aroused  by  the  young  Association 
among  the  graduates,  out  of  which  grew 
the  organization  of  Branch  Associations 
and  popular  demonstrations. 

One  of  the  earliest  points  to  be  noted  in 
relation  to  the  conduct  of  the  Association 
was  the  introduction  of  new  features  into 
University  celebrations  like  Commence-

years  of  its  existence,  was  president  of  the  Association. 


ment,  which  were  apparently  derived  from 
new  sources  of  inspiration.  There  seems 
to  have  been  an  attempt  to  fashion  pro- 
ceedings on  the  model  of  academic  in- 
stuitions  of  other  countries  where  Com- 
mencement Week  played  a  great  role  in 
University  social  life.  So,  in  1900  for  the 
first  time,  there  were  an  Alumni  banquet 
on  the  eve  of  Commencement  and  a  garden 
party  after  the  conferring  of  degrees  on 
Commencement  Day.  Another  new  de- 
parture is  also  noted  in  the  records  of  the 
occasion,  viz.,  a  moonlight  excursion  on 
Lake  Ontario  on  the  evening  of  the  same 
day. 

The  banquet  was  held  on  June  12,  the 
eve  of  Commencement  Day,  in  the  Gym- 
nasium, which  stood  on  part  of  the  site  of 
Hart  House.  Four  hundred  graduates, 
men  and  women,  sat  down  to  dinner. 
The  speaking  was  of  a  very  interesting 
character.  The  Ontario  Government  was 
represented  by  the  Hon.  Richard  Harcourt 
(B.A.  1870),  Minister  of  Education,  who 
proposed  the  toast  of  the  "Empire  and  its 
Defenders,"  to  which  the  response  was 
given  by  the  veteran  statesman,  Sir  Charles 
Tupper.  The  brave  deeds  of  Canadians 
in  the  Boer  War  formed  part  of  the  matter 
for  these  two  eloquent  speeches.  The 
most  important  speech  of  the  occasion  was 
that  made  by  Sir  William  Meredith,  who 
was  then  at  the  opening  of  his  brilliant 
career  as  Chancellor  of  the  University 
(elected  April  12,  1900).  It  took  the  form 
of  a  brief  review  of  the  history  of  the 
University  during  the  preceding  ten  years, 
calling  special  attention  to  the  erection  of 
such  important  buildings  as  the  Library, 
the  Chemical  Building,  and  the  Gymnasi- 
um, and  not  forgetting  the  establishment 
of  the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Philosophy  in 
1897.  He  stated  that  one  gentleman  had 
already  achieved  that  degree  and  that 
another  would  receive  it  on  the  morrow, 
viz.,  J.  C.  McLennan,  the  Secretary  of  the 
new  Alumni  Association.  The  Chancellor 
devoted  the  latter  part  of  his  speech  to  a 
discussion  of  the  serious  financial  need

with  which  the  University  was  then  con- 
fronted and  thus  opened  the  long  and 
strenuous  campaign  for  funds  which,  with 
varying  degrees  of  intensity,  has  never 
ceased. 

Another  new  thing  of  great  importance, 
i.e.,  the  founding  of  a  journal,  was  im- 
mediately undertaken.  An  editorial  board 
was  chosen,  of  which  I.  H.  Cameron 
(M.B.  1874)  became  chairman  and  J.  C. 
McLennan  secretary.  The  board  of  editors 
worked  hard,  got  "copy"  together  and  a 
long  enough  list  of  advertisers  to  justify 
them  in  making  a  start,  and  had  the  first 
number  out  in  July  under  the  title  of  the 
UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO  MONTHLY.  There 
were  those  who  murmured  and  prophesied 
a  speedy  collapse  of  this  journalistic 
venture,  but  the  MONTHLY  lived  on  and 
has  done  good  work  as  an  exponent  of 
University  sentiment  and  a  defender  of  the 
University's  interests. 

This  activity  amongst  the  graduates  was 
accompanied  by  useful  and  interesting 
movements  in  the  administration  of  the 
University.  During  the  summer  it  was 
decided  to  open  the  Residence  Dining  Hall, 
which  had  been  closed  for  a  year,  as  a 
general  Dining  Hall  for  students  and  staff. 
It  was  hailed  as  a  boon.  The  students' 
paper,  Varsity,  said  of  it  that  it  gave  great 
" promise  of  permanent  good,"  a  prophecy 
which  has  been  realized,  for  down  through 
the  intervening  years  it  served  a  good 
purpose  until  it  was  absorbed  by  the 
magnificent  gift  of  the  Massey  Foundation 
called  Hart  House. 

The  Dining  Hall  became  a  centre  for 
other  important  things.  Very  soon  a 
Faculty  Union  was  organized  (April  15, 
1901)  and  was  given  quarters  in  the  Dean's 
House  of  the  former  Residence,  and  by 
December  12  an  undergraduate  club  was 
under  way  with  the  promise  of  a  home  in 
what  was  called  the  Third  House  of  the 
Residence  in  the  west  wing  of  the  Main 
Building  (used  for  the  first  time  on  March 
13,  1901,  as  a  meeting  place  for  the  great 
delegation).  Both  of  these  institutions, 
particularly  the  Faculty  Union,  have 
flourished  and  are  now  contained  in  the 
palatial  Hart  House.  The  Students'  Union 
has  not  had  such  uniform  prosperity  as  the 
Faculty  Union,  but  both  have  rendered 
important  service  to  the  University.  It 
was  also  hoped  that  a  Graduates'  Club 
would  be  organized  and  housed  close  to 


the  Faculty  Union,  but  the  down-town 
graduate  was  chary  of  becoming  too  closely 
connected  with  the  Faculty  and  in  due 
time  a  University  Club,  open  to  graduates 
of  all  universities,  was  founded  and  took 
up  its  quarters  in  a  house  in  King  Street 
West,  where  it  still  is.  It  is  interesting, 
however,  to  reflect  on  the  fact  that  in  Hart 
House  these  three  clubs  projected  in  1900 
have  found  a  place.  The  undergraduates, 
the  graduates,  and  the  Faculty  all  have 
splendid  quarters  in  that  finest  of  university 
homes.  The  progressives  of  1900  were 
right  in  their  plans,  although  the  manner 
of  the  realization  of  these  plans  was  hidden 
by  the  veil  of  the  future. 


PROFESSOR  J.  C.  McLENNAN 
First  Secretary  of  the  Alumni  Association 


When  lectures  began  in  October  the 
good,  new  spirit  showed  itself  again  in  the 
presentation,  on  University  College  Con- 
vocation Day,  of  a  flag,  a  fine  British 
ensign,  by  Mr  H.  F.  Gooderham  (B.A. 
1900)  on  behalf  of  the  Zeta  Psi  Fraternity, 
and  also  of  two  guns  by  the  graduating 
class,  represented  by  Mr  E.  F.  Burton 
(B.A.  1901),  and  by  the  Engineering 
Society  of  the  School  of  Practical  Science 
represented  by  Mr  F.  E.  Guy  (B.A.Sc. 
1901).  These  guns,  which  were  taken 
from  the  bottom  of  Louisbourg  harbour, 
still  stand  on  the  elevation  to  the  east 
of  the  Main  Building.  They  are  interest-

ing  relics  of  the  fighting  which  was  taking 
place  between  French  and  English  in  1768. 
Another  important  part  of  the  Con- 
vocation proceedings  was  the  address  on 
October  1  by  President  Loudon  on  ''School 
and  University  Reform."  Although  not  a 
part  of  the  doings  of  the  Alumni  Associa- 
tion, it  had  such  an  important  bearing  on 
things  which  happened  subsequently  that 
it  should  not  be  overlooked.  It  may  be 
found  in  full  in  the  University  MONTHLY, 
Vol.  I,  pp.  41-53,  and  all  that  is  needed 
here  is  to  say  that  on  account  of  the 
sharpness  and  directness  of  the  criticism 
of  our  Public  and  High  Schools,  it  proved 
distasteful  to  the  Minister  of  Education 
and  hfe  Department  generally.  The  Tor- 
onto newspapers  raised  the  hue  and  cry. 
Journals  like  the  World  and  Mail  approved 
more  or  less  definitely,  whilst  others  took 
an  opposite  view.  Amongst  the  rest  there 
was  an  article  which  appeared  in  the  Star. 
of  October  6,  signed  J.  A.  M.,  in  which 
certain  platitudes  were  expressed  in  a 
grave  and  impressive  manner.  It  was 
evidently  intended  as  an  attack  on  the 
University  and  the  President  which  might 
serve  as  a  counter  thrust  to  the  President's 
criticism  of  the  Public  and  High  Schools. 
It  complained  of  the  folly  of  the  University 
of  Toronto  and  of  its  low  ideals.  It  said: 
"Toronto  has  added  department  after 
department  and  professor  after  professor, 
but  the  strength  of  one  great  man  would 
be  as  the  strength  of  ten,  because  in  him 
the  students  would  find  life."  The  notes 
touched  here,  of  Toronto's  folly,  the  weak- 
ness of  its  staff,  and  the  needed  strong  man 
bringing  life  to  the  students,  are  to  be 
heard  many  times  in  the  discords  and 
jangles  which  followed.  And  the  pro- 
vincial papers  uttered,  too,  their  jeremiads 
and  warnings. 

Presently  also  a  bomb  exploded  in  very 
close  proximity  to  the  University.  The 
Hon.  S.  H.  Blake  had  been  invited  to 
address  the  Political  Sciience  Club  at  the 
regular  meeting  of  November  22,  1900. 
He  chose  as  his  subject  "Some  Thoughts 
on  the  Ideal  of  our  National  University." 
Amongst  other  things  he  said:  "  How  large 
a  man  we  need,  to  be  the  ruling  spirit 
through  all  the  many  activities  of  our 
University!  We  want  a  man!  No  mere 
namby-pamby  professor.  There  must  be 
a  high  and  lofty  ideal ;  and  we  must  not  be 
satisfied  until  we  obtain  one  who  will  be 


an  inspiration  and  will  breathe  life  and 
power  through  the  otherwise  dead  walls. 
We  want  a  strong  personality — one  full  of 
life  and  vigour — a  man  of  deep  sympathy, 
etc.,  etc."  Although  an  anonymous  news 
item  afterwards  said  that  Mr  Blake  had 
not  intended  to  make  his  remarks  apply  to 
any  person  in  particular,  the  students,  the 
staff,  and  the  public  in  general,  and  parti- 
cularly the  most  of  the  newspapers,  took 
the  Address  as  a  direct  attack  on  the 
President  and  certain  members  of  the  staff. 
The  echoes  of  the  event  rang  loud  and  far 
and  helped  to  create  that  sentiment  of 
dissatisfaction  with  the  University  which 
prevailed  so  long  and  produced  difficulties 
of  many  sorts. 

Nevertheless  there  were  passages  in  the 
address  which  had  a  different  kind  of 
interest,  although  they  were  rather  over- 
looked by  the  greater  number.  He  spoke 
of  the  shamefully  small  revenue  upon 
which  the  University  was  forced  to  exist. 
He  declared  that  in  addition  to  the  income 
from  the  original  endowment,  from  stu- 
dens'  fees,  etc.,  the  Province  of  Ontario 
contributed  only  a  paltry  sum  of  $7,000 
out  of  a  total  provincial  expenditure  of 
$3,710,420,  to  the  support  of  its  highest 
institution  of  learning.  The  result  of 
which  economical  policy  was  that  for  the 
then  preceding  year  there  had  been  a 
deficit  of  $14,000.  In  a  very  valuable 
passage  in  the  address  Mr  Blake  suggested 
that  some  fixed  percentage  of  the  Succes- 
sion Duty  should  be  set  apart  in  perpetuity 
for  the  income  of  the  University.  This 
seems  to  be  one  of  the  earliest  occasions 
on  which  this  source  of  income  was  ad- 
vocated publicly  by  a  man  of  influence. 

A  few  days  later  (on  December  1)  an 
article  signed  by  Jas.  A.  Tucker,  the  centre 
of  the  University  disturbances  of  1895, 
appeared  in  Saturday  Night,  in  which  he 
expressed  his  satisfaction  at  seeing  Mr 
Blake  and  President  Loudon  at  logger- 
heads, for  had  they  not  five  years  earlier 
been  joined  together  in  unholy  alliance  to 
prevent  Mr  Tucker  and  his  associates 
from  cleaning  up  the  awful  mess  at  the 
University?  Mr  Tucker  now  has  his 
revenge,  but  en  bon  prince  he  says  very 
kind  things  of  Blake  and  Loudon,  and  he 
suggests  that  if  Loudon  were  not  misled 
by  unworthy  intriguers  he  would  make  a 
very  decent  sort  of  President.  This  seems 
to  be  the  first  time  that  there  is  a  public

suggestion  of  the  theory  developed  five 
years  later  in  the  letters  written  by  C.  R. 
Jamieson  out  of  which  grew  an  investi- 
gation by  a  Committee  of  the  University 
Senate,  about  which  we  shall  hear  more 
presently.  Mr  Tucker  also  suggests  that 
Mr  Blake  had  been  led  to  attack  President 
Loudon  for  the  purpose  of  hitting  back  at 
Loudon  for  his  attack  on  the  Minister  of 
Education  in  his  Convocation  address  in 
October. 

While  this  discussion  was  proceeding,  the 
Secretary  and  Executive  generally  were 
busy  organizing  Branch  Associations  in  the 
country  and  preparing  for  the  monster 
deputation  which  met  the  Government  on 
March  13,  1901,  during  the  Session  of  the 
Legislature.  A  very  important  sequel  to 
this  interview  was  the  passing  of  a  Uni- 
versity Act  which  came  into  force  April  15, 
1901.  This  Act  contained  provisions  for 
extending  the  powers  of  the  Board  of 
Trustees,  for  the  appointment  of  a  separate 
Head  (Principal)  for  University  College, 
and  most  important  of  all  a  substantial 
increase. of  income  by  the,  amount  of  "the 
salaries  of  all  professors,  lecturers,  and 
other  instructors  in  the  departments  of 
Chemistry,  Physics,  Mineralogy,  and  Geo- 
logy, and  the  cost  of  maintenance  of  said 
departments,"  estimated  at  that  time  to  be 
about  $25,000  per  annum.  The  Govern- 
ment also  agreed  to  put  up  a  new  building 
at  the  head  of  McCaul  Street  to  cost 
$200,000  for  the  teaching  of  various  natural 
sciences. 

Another  building  whose  erection  was 
long  delayed  now  appears  in  the  field  of 
discussion.  On  December  14,  1900,  a 
special  meeting  of  the  Alumni  Association 
was  held  in  the  Chemical  Building,  at 
which  was  discussed  the  question  of  a 
Graduates'  Club  and  also  of  a  Memorial 
Hall  to  cost  $25,000,  and  a  committee  of 
fourteen  gentlemen,  at  whose  head  was 
the  Hon.  George  A.  Cox,  was  appointed  to 
consider  the  matter  of  a  Memorial  Hall  in 
honour  of  those  who  had  fallen  at  Ridgeway 
and  in  the  Boer  War.  This  committee  met 
on  December  20  in  the  Canadian  Institute 
in  Richmond  Street,  and  made  arrange- 
ments for  site,  plans,  etc.,  and  for  soliciting 
subscriptions.  Before  long  the  original 
idea  of  a  Memorial  Hall  was  widened  into 
that  of  a  Convocation  Hall,  of  which  the 
University  had  stood  much  in  need  since 
the  great  fire  of  1890.  But  several  years 


were  to  elapse  before  the  zealous  efforts  of 
the  Alumni  Association  produced  a  result 
in  this  matter. 

It  would  be  too  tedious  to  follow  all  the 
ups  and  downs  of  Convocation  Hall  from 
1900  to  1906.  Its  story  would  form  the 
material  for  the  plot  of  a  sort  of  grim  farce. 
It  had  always  met  with  a  certain  kind  of 
opposition.  There  were  always  those  who 
looked  upon  such  a  thing  as  unnecessary. 
Then  it  was  hard  to  get  such  a  large  sum  as 
$50,000  in  small  amounts  from  the  gradu- 
ates. And  soon  it  was  discovered  that 
such  an  expenditure  would  be  quite  in- 
adequate. The  Government  was  unen- 
thusiastic,  perhaps  hostile,  and  members  of 
the  Legislature  poured  cold  water,  and 
some  contempt,  on  the  idea.  The  diffi- 
culties in  connection  with  the  choice  of 
site  were  considerable.  It  became  neces- 
sary to  negotiate  with  the  Dominion 
Government  for  the  site  of  the  Meteor- 
ological Observatory,  and  when  the  busi- 
ness men  of  the  city  heard  that  possibly 
the  Observatory  would  be  removed  to 
Ottawa,  if  Convocation  Hall  were  put  up 
in  the  southwest  corner  of  the  lawn,  there 
was  strong  opposition.  Then  even  the 
Toronto  Branch  of  the  Alumni  Association, 
organized  April  12,  1905,  opposed  the 
location  of  Convocation  Hall  near  the  lawn 
on  the  ground  that  it  would  be  an  act  of 
gross  vandalism.  And  the  Press  quite 
frequently  made  disquieting  criticisms  and 
suggestions,  advocating  such  sites  as  the 
north  side  of  the  Quadrangle  or  somewhere 
in  Bloor  Street  West.  But  the  Secretary 
of  the  Association  stood  firm.  The  gradu- 
ates subscribed  the  sum  expected  of  them. 
The  Government  lent  its  aid  and  the  Board 
of  Trustees  helped.  The  corner-stone  was 
laid .  by  the  Lieutenant-Governor,  Sir 
Mortimer  Clark,  on  June  10,  1904,  and 
the  ceremonies  of  University  Commence- 
ment took  place  in  the  new  Convocation 
Hall  on  June  8,  1906,  although  the  building 
was  still  three  or  four  months  from  com- 
pletion. It  was  indeed,  considering  the 
circumstances,  a  notable  achievement  to 
the  credit  of  the  Association,  and  nobody 
to-day  considers  the  Hall  as  useless,  as 
many  prophesied  it  would  be. 

The  Alumni  Association  continued  to 
prosper  and  exert  influence.  At  its  meeting 
on  June  12,  1903,  the  Chancellor,  Sir 
William  Meredith,  congratulated  it  by 
saying:  "The  Alumni  Association  has  felt 


106 


UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO  MONTHLY 


its  strength.  Keep  on  your  good  work  for 
you  have  a  great  power.  No  government 
would  dare  resist  the  demands  of  such  a 
body  of  men."  A  proof  of  that  power  had 
just  been  seen  that  very  evening  in  the 
reception  by  the  Secretary  of  a  letter  from 
the  Hon.  Messrs  Gibson  and  Harcourt, 
pledging  the  Government's  support  to 
Convocation  Hall,  when  nearly  everybody 
had  given  up  hope.  The  meeting  was  very 
much  cheered  by  the  good  news  and 
plucked  up  courage  for  future  effort.  For 
the  needs  of  the  University  were  ever 
growing.  Residences  for  men  and  women 
were  being  demanded.  A  Faculty  of 
Forestry  became  a  pressing  need.  Develop- 
ment of  the  Medical  Faculty  needed  to  be 
pressed  forward,  and  a  deficit  was  immin- 
ent. 

In  the  summer  of  1903  President 
Loudon,  accompanied  by  the  Secretary 
of  the  Association,  made  a  trip  to  the 
Western  Provinces.  They  left  Toronto 
on  August  27  and  were  absent  about  five 
weeks.  "The  journey  was  broken  at  Port 
Arthur,  Winnipeg,  Brandon,  Regina,  Cal- 
gary, Edmonton,  McLeod,  Nelson,  Van- 
couver, New  Westminster,  and  Victoria. 
The  schools  and  colleges  in  each  of  these 
cities  and  towns  were  visited,  and  con- 
siderable time  was  spent  in  conference  at 
Regina  and  Victoria  with  the  officials  of 
the  Departments  of  Education,  who  were 
exceedingly  kind  in  furnishing  the  fullest 
information  regarding  their  school  systems 
and  the  standards  of  their  examinations." 
In  addition  to  the  gathering  of  information 
in  educational  matters,  they  met  many 
graduates  and  succeeded  in  organizing  six 
Branch  Alumni  Associations:  Victoria  and 
Vancouver  'Island,  Vancouver  and  Lower 
British  Columbia,  the  Kootenay  District, 
Edmonton,  Regina,  and  Manitoba.  It 
was  a  highly  successful  journey  and  did  a 
good  deal  to  stir  feeling  amongst  the 
graduates  and  bind  them  to  the  University 
(see  MONTHLY,  Vol.  4,  p.  26). 

Although  the  financial  provisions  of  the 
University  Act  of  1901  brought  relief  to 
the  distressed  institution,  it  was  clear  to 
all  that  the  remedy  was  merely  a  palliative, 
and  early  in  1904  it  was  decided  by  the 
University  administration  and  the  Alumni 
Association  to  renew  their  demands  upon 
the  Provincial  Government  for  help.  On 
February  24,  Premier  Ross  and  Mr  Har- 
court were  waited  upon  by  a  deputation 
of  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  the  University 


urging  the  erection  of  a  new  Physics 
Laboratory  whose  estimated  cost  was 
$150,000.  The  Alumni  Association  began 
to  prepare  for  another  deputation  to  wait 
upon  the  Government,  and  the  date  of 
March  23  was  fixed  for  the  interview  by 
the  Premier.  The  discussion  of  Uni- 
versity affairs  went  on  vigorously  in  the 
newspapers,  some  heartily  defending  the 
institution,  some  damning  it  with  faint 
praise,  and  some  opposing  it,  insomuch 
that  one  provincial  paper  forgot  itself  and 
called  the  University  "the  sink  hole  in  the 
Queen's  Park."  It  was  also  discussed  in 
the  Legislature,  which  had  opened  on 
January  14.  There  it  gained  the  support 
of  the  Opposition  under  Mr  J.  P.  WThitney 
—an  Opposition  strong  and  energetic, 
which  felt  that  the  future  was  on  its  side, 
as  was  made  abundantly  manifest  in  a  few 
months'  time. 

On  the  day  appointed  the  deputation  of 
alumni,  over  two  hundred  strong  and 
representing  some  thirty  centres  in  the 
Province,  arrived  and  presented  their 
memorandum,  accompanied  by  able  and 
enthusiastic  speeches  from  such  men  as 
Rev.  Dr  Burwash,  Sir  Thomas  White 
(B.A.  1895),  Mr  Frederick  Nicholls,  Mr  J. 
F.  Ellis,  Mr  J.  D.  Allan,  Mr  Justice 
Idington,  etc.  It  was  pointed  out  in 
general  that  the  finances  of  the  University 
were  insufficient,  and  great  stress  was  laid 
particularly  on  the  need  of  a  Physics 
Laboratory  and  the  foundation  of  a  De- 
partment of  Forestry.  The  Premier  could 
not  promise  any  immediate  help.  He 
thought  that  soon  something  might  be 
done  for  Physics,  but  felt  convinced  that 
the  deputation  was  in  the  wrong  in  asking 
for  a  Department  of  Forestry.  He  coun- 
selled patience,  and  thought  the  University 
could  well  afford  to  wait  until  other  crying 
needs  of  the  country  were  satisfied. 

The  deputation  brought  no  immediate 
financial  help  to  the  University.  On  the 
contrary  it  brought  a  good  deal  of  acri- 
monious newspaper  and  even  parliament- 
ary discussion  during  the  long  session, 
which  closed  April  26.  Some  newspapers 
did  not  hesitate  to  say  that  the  Premier 
showed  a  hostile  spirit  to  the  University, 
and  the  most  important  organ  of  the 
Government  continually  insisted  upon  the 
idea  that  the  University  needed  new  men 
at  its  head  and  on  its  staff  quite  as  much 
as  new  buildings  and  enlarged  budgets. 

Time    wore    on.     The    summer    passed 


UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO  MONTHLY

with  its  Commencement  proceedings,  with 
Garden  Party,  laying  the  corner-stone  of 
Convocation  Hall,  Alumni  Association 
meeting,  banquet  and  eloquent  speeches 
in  which  the  needs  of  the  University  formed 
the  chief  topic.  The  Secretary  was  also 
able  to  report  that  "in  addition  to  the 
General  Association,  with  its  centre  at 
Toronto,  there  now  exist  twenty-three 
Branches  in  Ontario,  one  in  Quebec,  one 
in  Manitoba,  three  in  the  Northwest 
Territories,  three  in  British  Columbia,  and 
two  in  the  United  States."  In  the  autumn 
the  Senate  elections  for  a  triennial  period 
were  held  and  on  October  10  the  results 
were  published.  Sir  William  Meredith 
was  elected  Chancellor  by  acclamation. 
Amongst  others  the  Secretary  of  the 
Association  was  elected  a  member. 

In  March  the  Premier  had  counselled  the 
University  to  have  patience,  and  no  person 
apparently  was  looking  for  financial  relief 
when  without  warning,  on  November  29, 
the  newspapers  announced  that  by  reason 
of  an  advantageous  sale  of  Government 
property  in  Front  Street  for  $180,000  to 
the  Grand  Trunk  Railway  the  Government 
had  decided  to  authorize  the  erection  of 
the  Physics  Laboratory.  The  University 
authorities  were  delighted.  On  the  same 
date  it  was  also  announced  that  the  Alumni 
Secretary  had  been  made  Director  of  the 
Physics  Laboratory. 

But  the  disagreeable  was  following  fast 
on  the  heels  of  the  agreeable.  A  few 
days  after  the  announcement  of  the  victory 
in  Physics,  on  December  8,  there  appeared 
in  Varsity  a  humorous  article  entitled 
''Charon  Redivivus"  signed  by  Oudeis,  '05, 
in  which  members  of  the  staff,  actually 
named  or  easily  identifiable,  were  satirized. 
Two  days  later  a  letter  appeared  in  Satur- 
day Night,  entitled  "An  Indictment  of 
Toronto  University"  and  signed  Junius  Jr. 
The  writer  stated  that  the  University  had 
no  real  head,  but  that  the  President,  now 
old  and  feeble,  was  at  the  mercy  of  selfish 
intriguers  who  forced  him  to  pursue  an 
uncertain  and  ridiculous  policy.  At  once 
there  were  articles  in  the  daily  papers  and 
replies  to  Junius  Jr  in  Saturday  Night,  and 
a  second  letter  from  Junius  Jr  in  the  same 
journal  in  its  issue  of  January  7,  1905. 
In  his  second  letter,  Junius  Jr  becomes 
more  definite  and  names  Dr  McLennan  as 
the  great  intriguer  who  had  led  the  Presi- 
dent astray.  He  was  the  wicked  man  who 
succeeded  in  securing  wrongfully  for  Messrs 


Patterson  and  Burton  on  separate  occasions 
the  1851  Exhibition  Science  Research 
Scholarship,  that  Dr  McLennan  had  used  the 
Alumni  Association,  the  Dining  Hall,  and 
even  the  conferring  of  honorary  degrees  to 
his  own  advantage,  etc.,  etc. 

Naturally  the  President  and  Dr  Mc- 
Lennan lost  no  time  in  asking  the  Senate 
to  institute  an  investigation  of  these 
charges,  and  on  January  20,  the  Senate 
resolved  to  appoint  a  committee  for  that 
purpose.  The  committee  appointed  con- 
sisted of  the  Chancellor,  Sir  William 
Meredith;  the  Vice-Chancellor,  Charles 
Moss ;  Mr  Justice  Street ;  Provost  Mack- 
lem,  of  Trinity;  and  Mr  A.  B.  Aylesworth 
(B.A.  1874).  The  committee  met  prompt- 
ly on  January  28,  in  Osgoode  Hall,  and 
thereafter  on  Saturdays  until  the  month  of 
May.  It  was  soon  discovered  that  a 
student  by  the  name  of  C.  R.  Jamieson 
was  the  author  of  the  Junius  Jr  letters, 
of  "Charon  Redivivus,"  and  of  articles 
which  appeared  in  two  other  evening 
papers  of  Toronto.  A  large  number  of 
witnesses  were  examined  under  oath  by 
eminent  counsel  and  on  May  19  the  com- 
mittee reported  to  the  Senate  that  they 
found  the  President  and  Dr  McLennan 
exonerated  from  all  blame.  The  only 
point  to  which  the  committee  would  attach 
any  blame  was  that  in  awarding  the  1851 
Scholarship  to  Mr  Patterson  the  Senate's 
committee  on  awards  had  not  observed  all 
the  regulations  in  the  case.  The  investi- 
gating committee  expressed  itself  regard- 
ing Dr  McLennan  thus,  that  it  found 
"no  ground  for  the  accusation  that  his 
activity  was  attributable  to  any  undue 
desire  on  his  part  for  professional  advance- 
ment or  personal  aggrandisement."  The 
case  was  over,  but  coincidently  with  the 
investigation  there  had  been  a  change  of 
Government.  The  Premier,  feeling  that 
he  had  no  longer  the  confidence  of  the 
House,  had  asked  for  a  dissolution,  and 
his  request  was  granted.  The  election 
was  held  on  January  25  and  the  Liberal 
Party,  which  had  been  in  power  since 
December,  1871,  more  than  thirty  years 
before,  was  defeated.  Mr  Ross* and  his 
Cabinet  resigned  office  on  February  5, 
and  immediately  Mr  J.  P.  Whitney  was 
called  on  to  form  a  Ministry.  He  at  once 
undertook  to  put  the  University  in  a 
proper  financial  condition  and  to  appoint 
a  Royal  Commission  to  consider  the  whole 
University  question. 


Alfred  Henry  Reynar— An  Appreciation 

By  F.  H.  WALLACE 
Late  DEAN  OF  THEOLOGY,  VICTORIA  COLLEGE 


VICTORIA   COLLEGE   has   been   re- 
markably fortunate  in  the  personal- 
ities that  have  been  connected  with 
it — the  leonine   Ryerson — the  subtle  and 
witty  Nelles — the  far-sighted  and  untiring 
Burwash — -the     charming     and     beloved 
Reynar. 

Alfred  Henry  Reynar  was  born  in  the 
city  of  Quebec  in  1840,  of  good  Irish  stock, 
and  this  heredity  showed  throughout  life 
in  genial  humour  and  quick  repartee.  He 
was  educated  in  the  High  School  of  Quebec 
and  in  Victoria  College,  Cobourg.  He 
graduated  as  B.A.  in  1860  with  the  Prince 
of  Wales  Medal,  took  his  M.A.  in  1896,  and 
received  the  degree  of  LL.D.  honoris  causa 
in  1889.  For  two  years  he  was  a  tutor  in 
his  Alma  Mater  \  then  for  two  years  studied 
in  the  University  of  Berlin,  Leipzig,  and 
Paris;  and  in  1866  was  appointed  professor 
of  Modern  Languages  in  Victoria  College. 
Later  this  wide  field  was  narrowed  to 
English  Literature  and  Professor  Reynar 
assumed  the  duties  of  Dean  of  the  Faculty 
of  Arts.  He  was  also  professor  of  Church 
History  in  the  Faculty  of  Theology.  The 
respect  in  which  he  was  held  by  his  fellow 
churchmen  was  indicated  by  his  election 
in  1902  as  president  of  the  Bay  of  Quinte 
Conference  of  the  Methodist  Church. 
His  reputation  as  an  accomplished  linguist 
led  to  his  appointment  about  1890  as  a 
member  of  a  small  Royal  Commission  to 
investigate  the  condition  of  French  Schools 
in  Eastern  Ontario.  In  1910  he  retired  at 
a  ripe  old  age.  On  the  23rd  of  September, 
1921,  he  passed  peacefully  away. 

When  I  first  heard  of  Dr  Reynar  he  was 
rightly  described  to  me  as  an  "  accom- 
plished "  man.  His  native  ability,  his  quick 
and  versatile  mind  had  been  so  trained  and 
informed  as  to  make  him  a  ripe  and  good 
scholar.  -  But  he  was  more  than  that. 
Some  scholars  are  but  pedants,  walking 
encyclopaedias,  dry  as  dust  and  as  for- 
bidding. But  Dr  Reynar  was  a  courteous 
gentleman,  refined  in  taste  and  manners, 
urbane,  polished,  attractive.  He  was 
thoroughly  a  man  among  men  and  enjoyed 
all  life's  varied  experiences.  "He  warmed 
both  hands  at  the  fire  of  life."  The  most 
characteristic  thing  about  him  was  his 


broad  and  genial  sympathy  with  all  human 
interests. 

It  was  this  sympathetic  temperament, 
this  broad  recognition  of  the  best  that  is 
to  be  found  in  all  classes,  in  all  nations, 
in  all  schools  and  tendencies  of  thought, 
which  qualified  him  to  do  good  work  in 
the  teaching  both  of  English  Literature 
and  of  Church  History.  He  used  to  dis- 
claim a  knowledge  of  Theology.  But  he 
really  meant  that  he  was  not  a  theologian 
of  the  old  dogmatic  type  which  knew  it 
all  and  was  ready  to  damn  those  who  did 
not  agree  with  its  formulas. 

The  tolerant,  broad  spirit  of  Nelles, 
Burwash,  Reynar,  and  other  Victoria  pro- 
fessors has  been  of  incalculable  benefit  to 
the  succeeding  generations  of  students, 
helping  them  while  retaining  the  essentials 
of  the  Christian  faith  to  welcome  all 
necessary  and  reasonable  changes  in  non- 
essentials.  Instead  of  antagonizing  the 
great  truth  of  Evolution  they  welcomed 
it  as  helping  to  the  understanding  of  God's 
way  in  nature  and  in  history.  So  they 
guided  men  safely  through  the  great 
transition  from  the  narrower  Theology  of 
the  past  to  the  broader  and  more  genial 
Gospel  of  the  future. 

As  a  teacher  of  English  Literature  Dr 
Reynar  was  a  disappointment  to  a  certain 
class  of  students,  those,  namely,  who  look 
to  their  professor  merely  for  notes  which 
they  may  memorize  for  examination.  Dr 
Reynar  did  not  work  in  that  great  task- 
master's eye.  He  stood  for  real  culture, 
the  fine  result  of  a  sympathetic  under- 
standing and  assimilation  of  the  master 
thoughts  of  the  master  minds  of  the  ages. 
He  loved  the  authors  whom  he  expounded 
and  so  taught  his  students  to  love  them. 
By  such  teaching  he  stimulated  his  students 
to  high  thoughts  and  to  noble  ideals— to 
realize  the  motto  of  their  College,  Abeunt 
Studia  in  Mores.  When  he  retired  from 
the  work  of  his  Chair  a  certain  student  said 
to  me  in  all  earnestness:  "It  is  a  great 
mistake  to  let  Dr  Reynar  go.  It  would 
pay  the  College,  even  if  he  gave  no  lectures, 
to  retain  in  our  halls  the  influence  of  his 
beautiful  personality." 

Dr  Reynar  was  a  good  man,  a  man  "of

God,  not  sanctimonious  but  saintly.  One 
never  heard  him  making  high  and  flam- 
boyant professions  of  Christian  experience. 
But  one  saw  him  living  so  kindly,  thought- 
ful, beneficent,  unselfish  a  life,  that  one 
was  constrained  to  recognize  that  he  walked 
with  God.  We  of  Victoria  can  never  forget 
his  College  prayers,  so  quiet,  so  reverent, 
so  comprehensive,  so  instinct  with  reality, 


so  beautiful  in  their  simplicity,  that  they 
seemed  to  lead  us  up  into  the  very  presence 
of  the  Father  in  Heaven. 

I  began  by  characterizing  Dr  Reynar  as 
charming  and  beloved.    And  so  I  end. 
"And  what  but  gentleness  untired, 

And  what  but  noble  feeling  warm, 
Wherever  shown,  howe'er  inspired, 
Is  grace,  is  charm?" 


General  Meeting  Approves  Reorganization  of  Association 


By-laws  Confirmed  and  Directors  Elected 


ON  Friday,  November  11,  a  general 
meeting  of  alumni  to  complete  the 
re-organization  of  the  University  of 
Toronto  Alumni  Association  and  to  ap- 
prove of  the  transfer  of  the  assets  and 
affairs  of  the  Association  to  the  Alumni 
Federation  of  the  University  of  Toronto 
was  held  in  the  Lecture  Room,  Hart  House. 

The  meeting  was  convened  as  one  of  the 
members  of  the  Alumni  Association.  Mr 
Justice  Masten,  who  was  in  the  chair, 
outlined  the  purpose  of  the  meeting,  drew 
attention  to  the  Minute  of  the  last  Annual 
Meeting  which  gave  authority  to  the 
Board  of  Directors  to  complete  the  transfer 
and  reported  that  the  Board  had  drawn  an 
agreement  with  the  Federation.  He  out- 
lined the  provisions  of  the  agreement  of 
transfer,  the  chief  of  which  were  that  in 
consideration  of  the  University  of  Toronto 
Alumni  Association  transferring  to  the 
Alumni  Federation  of  the  University  of 
Toronto  all  its  property  and  rights,  the 
Federation  should  assume  all  liabilities  of 
the  Association  and  take  in  as  members 
without  payment  of  entrance  fee,  except 
such  fees  as  may  be  payable  from  time  to 
time  by  members  of  the  Federation,  all 
-existing  members  of  the  Association  of 
every  class.  The  action  of  the  Board  in 
making  a  transfer  was  then  unanimously 
approved  by  the  meeting  and  it  was 
resolved  that  upon  completion  of  the 
necessary  documents  the  University  of 
Toronto  Alumni  Associations  be  dissolved. 

The  meeting  then  resolved  itself  into  a 
meeting  of  the  members  of  the  Alumni 
Federation  of  the  University  of  Toronto. 
The  Chairman  explained  the  need  for 
incorporation  which  had  arisen  through 
the  collection  of  the  War  Memorial  Fund 
and  pointed  out  that  it  was  hoped  that 
under  the  new  by-laws  the  organic  co- 


operation of  Faculty  and  College  Associa- 
tions with  the  University  organization 
would  be  facilitated. 

By-laws  which  had  been  drafted  and 
approved  by  the  Board  of  Directors  were 
then  submitted.  These  provided  for:  (1) 
An  annual  fee  of  $3  with  the  proviso  that 
in  cases  where  this  fee  was  collected  by  a 
College  Alumni  Association  or  a  Local 
Alumni  Club,  $1  of  the  $3  might  be  retained 
by  the  collecting  organization  for  its  own 
use.  (2)  A  Board  of  Directors  which  is 
to  have  executive  control  of  the  affairs 
of  the  Federation,  composed  of  twelve 
members  elected  at  the  Annual  Meeting 
for  a  term  of  three  years  and  representa- 
tives appointed  by  Faculty  and  College 
Alumni  Associations  within  the  Federation 
(one  to  each  Association) ;  the  Board  to 
elect  the  President  and  Vice-President  of 
the  Federation.  (3)  An  Alumni  Council 
formed  along  the  lines  of  the  Council  of 
the  old  Association. 

After  some  discussion  the  meeting  un- 
animously approved  the  by-laws. 

The  following  Directors  were  then 
elected:  Dr  George  E.  Wilson,  C.  S. 
Maclnnes,  D.  B.  Gillies,  and  Dr  George 
H.  Locke  (for  the  term  of  one  year) ; 
Mr  Justice  Masten,  John  Bone,  C.E.  Mac- 
donald,  and  H.  D.  Scully  (for  the  term  of 
two  years);  Angus  MacMurchy,  John  J. 
Gibson,  F.  P.  Megan,  and  W.  A.  Bucke 
(for  the  term  of  three  years).  This  is 
practically  a  continuation  of  the  Alumni 
Association  Board  which  was  elected  last 
June  with  some  omissions  made  necessary 
by  the  difference  in  the  number  of  elected 
members  called  for  in  By-laws.  It  is 
anticipated,  however,  that  those  who  were 
thus  necessarily  dropped  from  the  Board 
will  be  returned  as  appointees  of  Faculty 
and  College  Associations. 


Records  Office  Keeps  Track  of  30,000  Alumni 


THIS  is  the  University  speaking! 
Could  you  tell  me  the  address  of 
— —  ?"  This  phrase,  wearisome 
from  interminable  repetition  is  one  of  the 
incidental  ways  in  which  the  Records 
Office  keeps  in  touch  with  its  thirty 
thousand  graduates  and  former  students. 
A  chance  clipping  from  a  newspaper  may 
be  the  thing  to  set  the  wheels  in  motion; 
then  if  the  clipping  gives  a  Toronto 
address,  the  phone  is  used,  or  if  it  is  an 
out  of  town  person,  tracers  are  sent  to  his 
family,  or  his  friends,  or  the  minister  who 
married  him,  in  an  effort  to  verify  the 
University  Records.  Finally  the  required 
information  comes  in  and  one  more  name 
is  taken  off  the  list  of  "lost  trails." 

Many  people  perhaps  have  never  heard 
of  the  University  Records  Office.  But 
although  it  is  so  little  advertised  it  is  one 
of  the  important  administrative  offices  of 
the  University,  and  especially  so  for  the 
alumni.  It  is  a  branch  of  the  Registrar's 
Office  and  is  under  his  jurisdiction. 

When  early  in  1919,  the  War  Memorial 
Committee  started  its  campaign  for  funds, 
a  re-organization  of  the  system  of  maintain- 
ing alumni  records  was  found  necessary. 
A.  F.  Barr,  acting  for  the  Memorial 
Committee,  carried  out  this  work  in  co- 
operation with  the  Registrar,  and  the 
foundation  of  the  present  system  was  laid. 
The  work  is  now  carried  on  by  three  women 
graduates — Miss  Erskine  Keys,  Miss  Agnes 
McGillivray,  and  Miss  Freya  Hahn. 

A  close  relationship  exists  between  the 
Records  Office  and  the  Alumni  Association, 
They  occupy  quarters  in  the  same  building 
at  184  College  Street,  and  are  of  great 
mutual  assistance  to  each  other.  The 
Alumni  Association  has  ready  access  to 
the  Records  Office  files  for  the  verification 
of  addresses,  and  the  securing  of  alumni 
lists  which  are  so  often  required.  On  the 
other  hand  the  Association  is  of  great 
assistance  to  the  Records  Office  in  provid- 
ing information  regarding  alumni  and  their 
addresses.  This  information  incidentally  is 
chiefly  of  a  negative  character,  namely, 
that  it  has  been  ascertained  through  re- 
turned letters  that  certain  addresses  are 
wrong. 

The  work  of  the  Records  Office  is  to 
keep  track  of  every  graduate  and  former 
student,  and  to  gather  as  much  information 
as  possible  about  each  and  every  one. 


The.  way  in  which  this  is  done  is  rather 
interesting.  In  the  first  place  a  clue  comes 
from  some  source,  a  newspaper  clipping, 
personal  information,  or  a  note  in  THE 
MONTHLY.  This  is  verified  by  getting  in 
touch  with  the  graduate  himself  or  by  a 
tracer.  When  it  is  finally  verified  it  is 
entered  on  the  files.  The  name  of  every 
graduate  appears  on  four  separate  and 
distinct  files,  of  which  the  chief  one  is  the 
alphabetical  index.  Here  there  is  a  card 
for  every  graduate,  undergraduate,  and 
former  student,  and  this  contains  a  mine 
of  information  such  as  his  name,  the  school 
he  attended,  his  years  at  College,  his 
degrees,  and  when  and  at  what  College 
they  were  obtained,  his  home  address,  his 
business  address  and  the  address  of  his 
next  of  kin.  Any  supplementary  informa- 
tion is  also  entered  on  these  cards. 

The  remaining  two  sets  of  card  indexes 
are  for  convenience  rather  than  for  in- 
formation. There  are  the  geographical 
cards  which  are  arranged  in  order  of 
geographical  location.  These  are  con- 
venient for  organizing  alumni  groups  in 
different  centres  and  are,  of  course,  avail- 
able to  individuals  who  wish  to  look  up 
the  University  of  Toronto  men  and  women 
in  a  certain  district.  In  addition  there  are 
the  lists  of  graduates,  arranged  according 
to  the  year  of  graduation  and  the  College 
attended.  On  all  these  cards  the  addresses 
have  to  be  kept  constantly  up-to-date  and 
this  means  an  infinite  amount  of  work. 
Finally  there  is  the  filing  cabinet,  which 
holds  a  folder  for  each  person  whose  name  is 
on  the  records,  and  when  the  news  from  the 
newspaper  clipping  is  entered  on  the  three 
different  cards  the  clipping  itself  is  filed 
away  into  the  folder. 

The  Great  Fire  of  1890  destroyed  many 
important  documents,  and  as  a  result  the 
records  prior  to  that  date  are  incomplete. 
It  is  needless  to  say  that  information  about 
the  early,  as  well  as  the  more  recent 
graduates,  is  always  gratefully  received, 
and  out  of  town  newspapers  and  old 
Torontonenses  are  valuable  additions  to 
the  Records.  So  much  for  the  actual 
details  of  the  Record  Office.  The  import- 
ant thing  for  every  graduate  to  know  is 
that  it  exists,  that  it  is  available  for  his 
use,  and  that  it  is  in  his  power  to  keep 
it  up-to-date  by  sending  in  any  information 
that  he  collects.

Graduate  Work  in  Medicine     Triple  Bill  at  Hart  House 


Another  Course  Offered 

PR    the    third    time    the    Faculty    of 
Medicine  of  the  University  of  Toronto 
is  offering  special  courses  for  gradu- 
ates who  wish  to  brush  up  on  their  work. 
From   December   19   to  24  three  courses, 
one  in  Surgery,  one  in  Medicine,  and  one  in 
Obstetrics    and    Gynaecology,    similar    to 
those  held  last  December  and  last  May, 
will  be  run  concurrently  by  the  Depart- 
ment of  Medicine. 

This  arrangement  is  designed  for  prac- 
titioners, particularly  those  from  the 
country  where  hospital  equipment  and 
facilities  are  less  up-to-date,  and  where 
there  is  not  the  same  opportunity  of 
meeting  the  men  with  the  more  up-to-date 
theories.  It  consists  of  a  course  of  clinics, 
not  lectures,  designed  to  allow  the  gradu- 
ates to  obtain  actual  practice  in  the  wards 
according  to  the  most  modern  methods. 

It  is  necessary  to  hold  these  clinics  during 
the  vacation  time  of  the  regular  students 
in  order  that  instruction  may  be  given  by 
the  same  corps  of  instructors  as  are  used 
for  students'  classes.  No  attempt  is  made 
to  treat  the  whole  subject  in  its  entirety, 
but  each  course  consists  simply  of  intensive 
work  on  one  selected  part  of  the  subject. 
Certain  definite  diseases  are  taken  up  and 
instruction  is  given  in  every  detail  after 
diagnosis  and  treatment.  In  this  way  it 
is  possible  for  a  graduate  to  follow  up  a 
series  of  courses  in  his  special  line  by  doing 
one  week's  intensive  work  on  one  phase  of 
the  subject  every  six  months,  or  whenever 
the  course  is  offered. 

In  order  to  secure  the  greatest  efficiency 
it  has  been  found  necessary  to  limit  the 
course  in  Medicine  to  thirty,  in  Surgery 
to  thirty,  andt  in  Obstetrics  and  Gynae- 
cology to  sixty.  The  fee  for  each  course  is 
$10  payable  on  registration.  Applications 
will  be  received  by  the  Secretary  of  the 
Faculty  until  the  number  to  which  each 
course  is  limited  is  reached.  The  clinics 
will  be  held  every  day  and  all  day.  It  is 
hoped  that  the  week's  concentrated  work 
in  a  large  hospital  will  produce  better 
results  than  it  is  possible  to  obtain  in  the 
extension  lectures  which  are  given  through- 
out the  Province  by  the  Faculty  of  Med- 


icine. 


Candida  Presented  This  Week 

There  was  something  supernatural  in  the  air  at 
the  first  performance  at  the  Little  Theatre  this 
season.  It  may  have  been  the  proximity  of  Hallow- 
e'en when  spirits  are  unloosed  and  walk  abroad, 
or  it  may  have  been  the  character  of  the  plays  that 
had  been  chosen — whatever  it  was  there  was  some- 
thing decidedly  of  other  worlds  in  the  atmosphere 
when  the  triple  bill  was  presented,  the  first  offering 
of  this  year.  A  witch,  a  phantom  child,  a  puppet 
Harlequin  and  Columbine,  a  gigantic  heathen  god 
that  crossed  continents  to  wreak  its  awful  venge- 
ance,— these  all  contributed  to  the  pervading 
eeriness. 

Of  the  three  plays,  the  Dunsany  was  dramatic, 
the  Barrie,  emotional  and  pantomimic  and  the  last 
play  purely  emotional.  Of  them  all  the  play  by 
Barrie  the  pathetic  love-tale  of  Harlequin  and 
Columbine,  most  surely  caught  the  imagination  of 
the  audience.  The  puppets  who  talked  with  their 
legs  provided  some  delightful  snatches  of  interpre- 
tive dancing  and  of  pantomimic  representation 
and  the  Pantaloon  of  Mr  Vincent  Massey  and  the 
Clown  of  Mr  Hodder  Williams  furnished  the  two 
most  satisfying  bits  of  character  delineation  of  the 
evening.  In  White  Magic  as  in  Pantaloon  the 
light  and  the  serious  threads  are  so  closely  inter- 
woven that  they  are  almost  inseparable.  The  two 
chief  roles  of  the  childless  couple  were  particularly 
difficult  ones  to  sustain,  as  almost  the  whole  burden 
of  the  play  falls  on  them.  In  addition,  the  illusion 
of  the  phantom  child  was  a  difficult  performance, 
but  the  roles  were  in  skilful  hands  and  were  very 
well  carried  out.  A  Night  at  an  Inn,  the  epitome  of 
melodramatic  condensation  was  extremely  well 
executed  and  provided  some  real  thrills  for  the 
audience.  The  whole  bill  was  very  worth  while 
seeing.  The  acting  was  remarkably  good  and  the 
scenes  designed  by  Lawren  Harris,  Arthur  Lismer 
and  J.  E.  H.  Macdonald  could  not  have  been  im- 
proved and  provided  the  finishing  touch  to  the 
evening's  enjoyment. 

Candida  by  George  Bernard  Shaw  is  being  played 
for  five  days  beginning  Tuesday,  December  6. 
Candida,  "the  white  woman",  represents  the  ideal 
of  womanhood.  Her  story  is  the  story  of  a  woman 
and  her  choice  between  the  two  men  who  love  her. 
The  one,  her  husband,  is  the  brusque,  strong,  self- 
reliant  man  who  realizes  his  dependence  on  his 
wife  only  when  that  support  seems  to  be  taken 
away  from  him;  the  other  is  the  weak,  pliable 
stripling  whose  poetic  tendencies  make  him  im- 
practicable in  the  affairs  of  the  world,  but  in  whom 
love  awakens  the  dominant  human  passion,  the 
desire  to  protect  the  creature  he  loves.  The  role 
of  Candida  provides  unlimited  possibilities  and  the 
play  should  provide  one  of  the  most  delightful 
evening's  entertainment  of  the  season. 

Each  year  one  or  two  new  figures  have  appeared 
and  it  is  to  be  hoped  that  the  Hart  Hoi^e  Theatre 
will  continue  to  attract  all  the  latent  dramatic 
talent  of  the  city,  and  that  it  will  avoid  that  pitfall 
of  the  little  theatre,  an  exclusive  caste.  The  very 
idea  of  a  limited  band  of  players  destroys  the  idea 
of  a  community  theatre  where  there  is  no  distinct 
demarcation  between  actors  and  auditors  but  both 
unite  in  the  effort  to  elevate,  to  create  and  to  pop- 
ularize the  drama.

Engineers  Stage  Third  Successful  Reunion 


THE  Third  Annual 
Reunion  of  the 
Science  Graduates 
now  belongs  to  history. 
From  point  of  numbers 
attending  — •  both  from 
out  of  town  and  from 
the  city — as  well  as  from 
the  standpoint  of  ar- 
rangements, the  Third 
Reunion  was  undoubt- 
edly the  biggest  and  the 
best  that  has  yet  been 
held.  The  large  delega- 
tions from  Montreal, 
Ottawa,  Niagara  Falls 
and  Northern  Ontario, 
did  much  to  help  the 
spirit  of  the  reunion  and 
the  large  attendance 
from  points  outside  of 
Toronto  gave  positive 
evidence  that  these  re- 
unions are  being  appre- 
ciated and  enjoyed. 

Another  outstanding 
feature  of  the  Third  Re- 
union was  the  large 
number  of  graduates 
who  lent  their  assist- 
ance in  preparing  and 
carrying  the  affair 
through.  Upwards  of 
seventy-five  men,  of  all 
classes,  acted  on  various 
committees  and  most 
of  them  did  wor-k  for 
which  the  Chairmen  of 
Committees  must  ex- 
press thanks. 

About  four  hundred 
"School ' '  men  with  their 
ladies,  and  a  large  num- 
ber of  distinguished 
guests,  attended  the 
Official  Opening  of  the 
New  School  Building 
and  greatly  enjoyed  the 
reception  which  was 
held  afterwards. 

A  short  while  later, 
on  Friday  evening,  two 
hundred  and  fourteen 


At  the  Science  Reunion  a  moving  picture  film  entitled  "Our 
Deans"  prepared  by  the  '03  Class  invoked  much  enthusiasm. 
The  above  is  a  brief  scenario. 


"School"  men  and  their  ladies  sat  down  for 
dinner  in  the  new  Ball  Room  of  the  King 
Edward  Hotel.  All  of  them  were  most  en- 
thusiastic in  their  expressions  of  delight  at 
the  arrangements  which  had  been  made 
and  in  the  manner  in  which  this  function 
was  carried  through.  The  dinner  was  de- 
licious, the  music  delightful  and  one  and 
all  elected  it  a  most  enjoyable  evening. 

The  Annual  Meeting  held  on  Saturday 
morning  in  the  Chemistry  and  Mining 
Building  was  attended  by  about  one 
hundred  and  twenty-five  Graduates.  Con- 
siderable interest  was  taken  in  the  business 
which  came  up  for  discussion  and  several 
projects  were  considered,  which,  if  carried 
through  to  completion  will  reflect  very 
creditably  on  our  Association.  During  the 
coming  year  the  Council,  which  will  remain 
the  same  as  during  the  past  year,  proposes 
to  give  these  subjects  their  very  earnest 
attention. 

Class  luncheons  were  held  as  usual  at 
different  points  all  over  the  City  and 
while  we  have  not  received  definite  reports 
from  all  of  the  classes  we  understand  that 
all  of  the  luncheons  were  entirely  success- 
ful and  greatly  enjoyed.  Arising  out  of  the 
failure  of  the  classes  of  '99  and  '00  to 
gather  a  very  large  crowd,  the  '98,  '99,  '00, 
'01  and  '02  classes  combined  to  form  the 
"Century  Group"  and  it  is  expected  that 
this  group  will  be  very  much  in  evidence 
at  future  affairs. 

The  action  of  the  committee  in  choosing 
the  week-end  of  the  Queens-Varsity  Game 
for  the  Reunion  was  entirely  justified  by 
the  rugby  game  which  was  played.  After 
a  hard  fought  battle  in  which  Varsity  had 
the  lead  by  a  small  margin,  Queens  reduced 
the  lead  to  one  and  with  the  wind  in  their 
favour  provided  a  very  exciting  few 
minutes  before  the  close  of  the  game.  At 
one-half  time  the  Engineering  Society 
staged  a  burlesque  foot-ball  game.  The 
referee  was  clothed  in  pink  trousers  and 
a  silk  hat.  The  umpire  was  rigged  out  as 
Cy  Corntossle,  while  the  referee's  whistle 
was  carried  in  a  barrow  on  the  side  lines 
and  operated  by  compressed  air.  All  the 
members  of  one  team  were  over  6'  I" 
while  the  members  of  the  other  team  were 
all  under  5'  5". 

After  the  rugby  game  a  reception  was 
held  by  President  and  Lady  Falconer  in 
their  home  in  Queens  Park.  The  ' '  School ' '

men  completely  filled  the  downstairs  por- 
tion of  the  house  and  enjoyed  very  much 
the  opportunity  that  was  provided  to  meet 
and  chat  with  old  friends. 

In  point  of  numbers  and  enthusiasm 
displayed,  the  banquet  which  was  held 
in  Hart  House  on  Saturday  Evening  was 
a  "wild"  success.  Never  before  have  four 
hundred  "School"  men  shown  more  un- 
controllable enthusiasm  than  was  dis- 
played on  that  occasion.  Short  addresses 
were  enthusiastically  received  from  His 
Excellency  the  Lieutenant  Governor — -Mr 

B.  K.  Sandwell  of  Toronto  and   McGill; 
Mr  W.   F.  Tye,   '81;  Mr  J.   M.   R.   Fair- 
bairn,  '94;  Mr  Eraser  S.  Keith,  '03,  McGill; 
President  Falconer  and  Dean  Mitchell.  We 
were  particularly  happy  this  year  in  being 
able  to  have  in  the  Chair  our  honoured 
President     Mr    Walter    J.    Francis    who 
carried   the   meeting   through   with   much 
gusto.    After  a'  most  pleasant  evening  the 
Reunion  ended  with  a  most  sincere  and  en- 
thusiastic rendering  of  "  Auld  Lang  Syne".

Songs,  Speeches  and  Sports  at  U.C.  Dinner 

By  A.  M. 


WELL,  one  big  University  night  has 
helped  to  make  history !  That  was 
as  far  as  the  scribe  had  gotten  when 
a  ubiquitous  friend,  intermittently  effer- 
verscing  with  enthusiastic  ideas  or  solemnly 
oppressive  with  dignified  gravity  coloured 
by  more  than  light  touches  of  unintended 
intimidation,  called  him  up  with  a  hurry 
order  for  a  page  or  two  about  the  U.C. 
Alumni  Association  dinner.  Most  of  you 
may  know  the  chap.  There  is  a  shrewd 
suspicion  that  occasionally  he  has  some- 
thing to  do  with  getting  hard-bitten,  hard- 
boiled  or  hard-something  articles  prepared 
for  insertion  in  this  illustrious  MONTHLY. 
''What  do  you  want?"  was  a  natural 
question.  "Oh,  fifteen  hundred  words  or 
so."  "Yes,  but  what  like?"  (I  fear  the 
scribe  is  of  Scots  ancestry.  'Your  pardon, 
English  Department!)  "Oh,  just  light 
stuff;  don't  give  any  of  the  details  or  you 


can't  get  them  to  read  it,  and  don't  make 
it  a  general  account  of  the  meeting!" 

Stephen  Leacock  says  somewhere  in  the 
preface  of  one  of  his  better  books  that  he 
counts  it  more  of  an  achievement  to  write 
something  out  of  his  own  head  than  a 
tome  on  economics,  or  words  to  that  effect. 
Thank  Providence,  this  scribe  is  no  Stephen 
Leacock.  It  is  not  yet  known  whether 
what  was  wanted  was  bricks  without  straw 
or  words  without  thought.  If  the  detail 
straws  stick  out  or  if  the  riot  becomes 
general,  don't  tell  our  friend  described 
above  and  maybe  he'll  be  too  busy  to 
notice  it.  % 

Sh-h-h!  Is  the  Chairman  a  detail?  He 
was  as  humorous  as  one- would  desire  this 
account  to  be,  and  much  more  so  than  it  is. 
It  is  related  that  his  aspect  in  business 
hours  is  stern  and  forbidding.  Bereft  of 
his  proper  prefixes  and  affixes  he  is  called

G.  F.  McFarland.  But  many  before, 
during  and  after  his  display  in  the  Chair 
found  it  easy  to  refer  to  him  as  Frank. 
We  had  to  lose  him  in  the  middle  of  the 
meeting  (more  business),  and  the  first 
speaker  after  he  left  us  caused  an  unpre- 
meditated roar  by  observing  that  he  was 
glad  the  Chairman  had  gone.  Now  as  far 
as  any  one  could  gather,  besides  giving  a 
highly  good-humoured  tone  to  the  meeting, 
the  Chairman  had  carried  out  his  much- 
despised  instructions  smoothly  and  effec- 
tively. The  joke  was  too  good  and  nobody 
listened  to  the  final  clause  in  the  sentence 
that  closed  the  diplomatic  gap  so  lovely. 
Professor  DeLury  genially  succeeded  to  do 
the  honours  on  short  notice  for  the  rest 
of  the  night. 

Most  of  the  heavy  artillery  was  in 
evidence.  A  fine  barrage  was  laid  down 
and  the  way  well  cleared.  Oddly  enough 
somebody  had  knocked  together  some  odds 
and  ends  of  a  Constitution  and  had  done 
some  high  living  and  plain  thinking  to 
produce  a  list  of  officers. 

No,  No,  it  wasn't  all  business.  We 
dined,  we  heard  sweet  orchestral  music, 
Canon  Cody  gave  us  history,  instruction 
and  explanation  with  fluency  and  point, 
we  got  a  jolt  about  Hart  House  member- 
ship, we  were  sung  to,  we  sang  back  again, 
even  "Solomon  Levi."  Our  musicians 
couldn't  play  "Litoria,"  and  though  Barry 
'13  led  an  occasional  yell,  nobody  had  the 
nerve  to  strike  a  vocal  note  to  lead  off. 

The  boxers,  however,  struck  more  than 
notes.  When  you  get  the  Intercollegiate 
welterweight  and  lightweight  champions 
together  in  the  ring  one  gets  action!  The 
seconds,  strictly  amateur  and  impromptu, 
might  have  waved  the  towels  a  bit  more 
though ! 

Amusement,  physical  and  mental  exer- 
cise and  Rugby  tickets  were  all  promised 
and  carried  out — in  varying  degrees,  does 
someone  say? 

Well,  Principal  Hutton  composed  a 
special  poem,  all  for  University  College. 
Bobby  Reade  gave  two,  "Cargoes"  and 
"Smiles,"  for  all  the  world.  His  own,  not 
Masefield's  and  Galsworthy's.  They 
counteracted  admirably  W.  E.  Raney's 
telegram  (yes,  we  used  that  old  dodge) 
"trusting  that  too  much  College  spirit 
would  not  be  in  evidence  and  that  Uni- 
versity College  would  keep  within  the 
law."  We  did,  to  the  letter.  This 


tickled     the     Montreal    men    immensely. 


The  space  above  should  be  occupied  by  a 
highly  interesting  description  of  a  boxing 
match  very  different  to  the  other.  A 
University  College  man,  who  is  now  a 
journalist  of  a  much  too  enterprising  type, 
"wrote  it  up  for  the  papers."  Cacoethes 
scribendi  is  a  disease  much  too  prevalent. 
Reformers  please  note.  Anyway,  it  was 
a  rare  bout.  To  paraphrase  a  well-known 
advertiser  "Ask  the  man  who  "  saw  it  done. 
The  President  laughed.  The  Dons  roared, 
the  condition  of  the  young  to  less  young 
graduates  was  indescribable  and  a  graduate 
of  1921  was  caught  smiling! 

Arthur  Meighen  and  William  Lyon 
MacKenzie  King,  who  at  the  moment  was 
engaged  in  a  struggle  with  John  A.  Mac- 
donald  Armstrong  and  Ralph  Waldo  Emer- 
son Burnaby,  both  united  in  maintaining  a 
dignified  silence  as  a  response  to  the  general 
invitation  to  attend.  But  we  heard  from 
Vancouver  and  New  York,  Syracuse, 
Buffalo  and  Montreal,  Kitchener  and 
Hamilton,  and  all  points  between. 

Beautifulepistles  we  had,  one  of  them,  a 
full  page  giving  rhymed  reminiscences  of 
U.C.  and  good  wishes  for  the  future. 
There  was  nothing  else  to  do  but  put  him 
on  the  Executive! 

Now  if  the  scribe  had  not  been  writing 
by  instruction  scrupulously  observed,  he 
might  have  said  here:  "The  meeting  was 
a  great  success,  the  idealism  of  the  speakers 
was  uplifting,  the  size  and  the  enthusiasm 
of  the  gathering  was  an  earnest  of  the 
future  functioning  of  the  new  organization 
and  a  promise  of  rousing  activity  and 
success."  Whereas,  as  a  matter  of  fact, 
we  had  a  jolly  good  time  and  want  more! 

An  oppressive  feeling  comes  over  the 
scribe  that  something  will  be  inserted  here 
without  his  consent.

Graduate  Facilities  in  Hart  House 

By  J.  E.  BICKERSTETH 
WARDEN  OF  HART  HOUSE 


A 


T  the  formal  opening  of  Hart  House 
on  November  11,  1919,  the  hope  that 
graduates  would  become  members 
of  the  House  in  large  numbers  was  very 
clearly  expressed  "Let  us  hope  that  not 
only  will  the  House  serve  the  interests  of 
the  active  members  of  the  University  of 
Toronto,  teachers  as  well  as  undergradu- 
ates, but  that  it  may  help  to  bridge  the 
gulf  of  time  and  space  which  too  often 
separates  the  graduate  from  his  university. 
Here  will  be  a  place  where  the  present  and 
the  past  generations  may  meet  and  here, 
let  us  hope,  may  be  fostered  the  lasting 
loyalty  and  esprit  de  corps  which  are 
essential  to  the  welfare  of  any  seat  of 
learning." 

During  the  first  year  of  its  existence, 
1919-1920,  some  two  hundred  graduates 
joined  Hart  House.  In  1920-1921  the 
number  rose  to  three  hundred.  This  year 
so  far  there  are  about  four  hundred  gradu- 
ate members  and  great  efforts  are  now 
being  made  to  increase  that  number. 

What  are  the  advantages  offered?  For 
the  sum  of  ten  dollars  a  year,  a  graduate 
has  all  the  facilities  of  a  first  rate  club  at 
his  disposal.  He  has  the  full  use  of  the 
House  at  all  times  of  the  day  except  the 
gymnasium  and  Swimming  Pool  and  the 
rooms  occupied  by  the  Faculty  Union. 
The  Gymnasium  and  the  Pool  however, 
are  reserved  for  his  use  on  Mondays, 
Wednesdays  and  Fridays  from  six  to  nine 
o'clock  and  the  service  of  qualified  in- 
structors have  been  secured  to  direct 
classes  or  organize  indoor  baseball,  basket- 
ball and  other  games  on  those  evenings. 
Already  twenty  or  thirty  graduates  are 


meeting  in  Hart  House  for  this  purpose. 
The  Music  Room  (where  recitals  are  held 
at  5  p.m.  every  two  weeks)  the  Library, 
and  the  Squash  Courts  are  available.  A 
special  dining  room  is  reserved  for  his 
use  where  meals  are  served  at  a  reasonable 
price.  Here  he  has  the  right  to  entertain 
private  friends  and  several  dinners  of  this 
kind  have  already  been  given  by  those 
who  prefer  to  entertain  their  friends  at 
their  own  club  rather  than  in  an  hotel  in 
the  city.  A  Common  Room  comfortably 
furnished  and  containing  the  current 
periodicals,  is  reserved  for  his  use. 

The  Committee  which  is  directly  re- 
sponsible for  the  management  of  Hart 
House  is  the  Board  of  Stewards.  On  this 
Committee  sits  a  graduate  who  is  elected 
annually  by  and  from  among  those  gradu- 
.  ates  who  are  members  of  Hart  House.  A 
graduate  member  elected  in  the  sarne  way 
may  also  sit  on  the  House  Committee. 
Full  provision  has  therefore  been  made  for 
the  representation  of  graduate  interests 
and  those  gentlemen  who  have  been 
chosen  to  sit  on  those  Committees  in  the 
past  have  done  valuable  work  in  helping 
to  frame  the  general  policy  of  the  House. 
Hart  House  is  young.  But  already  it 
has  made  for  itself  a  very  definite  place  in 
the  life  of  the  University.  It  is  impossible 
to  say  what  its  influence  may  be  in  fifty  or 
a  hundred  years'  time  when  a  fjody  of 
sound  tradition  has  been  built  up.  One 
thing  however  is  certain ;  unless  backed  by 
a  strong  and  enthusiastic  company  of 
graduate  members,  the  House  will  have 
failed  to  fulfill  all  that  its  founders  had  in 
mind. 


J.  E.  Brownlee,  New  Attorney-General  of  Alberta 


IN  the  first  decade  of  the  present  century 
there  used  to  be  a  slogan — "Go  West 
Young  Man",  which  lured  many  of  the 
promising  graduates  of  the  University  of 
Toronto  to  the  great  field  of  opportunity 
in    the    Canadian    Northwest.      And    the 
young   men   went   West   and    they    made 
good,  and  even  now  the  western  section 
of  the  Dominion  is  known  as  a  young  man's 
country. 

In  the  experience  of  almost  everyone 
there  is  some  shining  example  of  a  young 
man  of  promise  who  found  the  oppor- 
tunity his  ability  merited  by  migrating. 


J.  E.  BROWNLEE,  Vic.  '08 
Attorney-General  of  Alberta 


Not  that  these  same  men  would  not  have 
made  good  here,  but  in  the  West  there 
were  not  so  many  precedents  of  age  to  be 
overcome,  and  a  man's  youth  was  not 
subject  to  the  same  discount  as  it  is  in  our 
Eastern  Provinces.  Among  the  number 
that  were  thus  enticed  to  seek  fame  and 
reward  was  the  Hon.  J.  E.  Brownlee, 
recently  appointed  Attorney  General  of 
the  Province  of  Alberta. 

Around  Victoria  College  in  the  period 
between  1905  and  1908  "Jack"  Brownlee 
was  regarded  as  a  student  with  great 
possibilities.  He  had  ideas  and  also  the 
force  and  personality  to  put  them  into 
effect. 


In  Brownlee's  college  obituary,  Toronto- 
nensis  1908,  it  is  recorded  that  he  was 
chairman  of  a  "Bob"  Committee;  took  a 
leading  part  in  the  "Lit",  and  in  his  last 
year  at  college  acted  as  business  manager 
of  "Acta".  To  this  must  be  added  also 
a  very  active  interest  in  all  things  per- 
taining to  church  matters.  During  his 
college  course  and  also  during  his  student 
days  in  Calgary,  Brownlee  served  as  a 
preacher  when  occasion  demanded  that 
service. 

Among  his  close  friends  it  was  supposed 
that  Brownlee  would  be  back  at  Victoria 
for  a  Theological  Course,  despite  the  fact 
that  he  was  known  to  prefer  law.  Just 
how  successful  he  would  have  been  as  a 
preacher  is  a  point  that  is  left  for  debate, 
but  undoubtedly  he  had  the  ability  and 
personality  that  would  have  made  him  a 
force  for  good  in  that  field. 

From  college  he  went  West  and  articled 
as  a  student  in  the  famous  firm  of  Lougheed 
&  Bennett,  both  now  cabinet  ministers  in 
the  Meighen  Government.  Later  he 
transferred  his  articles  to  the  firm  of 
Muir,  Jepson  &  Adams,  and  this  firm 
later  became  Muir,  Jepson,  Adams  & 
Brownlee. 

It  was  while  practising  law  with  the 
above  firm  that  he  came  in  contact  with 
the  United  Grain  Growers,  and  the  contact 
thus  formed  grew  in  mutual  regard,  so 
that  when  the  United  Grain  Growers 
decided  to  establish  their  own  legal  depart- 
ment, Brownlee  was  invited  to  throw  in 
his  lot  with  this  movement,  which  now 
controls  the  destiny  of  at  least  three  of 
the  provinces  west  of  the  Great  Lakes, 
and  may  yet  also  have  the  commanding 
word  in  the  government  of  the  Dominion. 

A  company  that  does  a  business  in  the 
multiple  millions  per  year  is  always  a 
grave  legal  responsibility.  Such  has  been 
the  responsibility  of  the  subject  of  this 
sketch  for  the  last  five  years.  That  his 
work  was  well  done  is  proved  by  the  fact 
that  he  was  selected  by  the  United  Farmers 
of  Alberta  as  their  Attorney  General.  In 
the  early  stages  of  the  formation  of  that 
Government  rumor  associated  his  name 
with  the  premiership  of  this,  the  cockiest 
province  in  Canada. 

Brownlee  is  a  Lambton  County  boy,  but 
was  born  in  Port  Ryerse,  Norfolk  County, 
1884.  Lambton  County  claims  him  from

the  fact  that  he  received  his  earlier  educa- 
tion within  its  borders,  and  in  the  same 
way  Ontario  claims  him  as  one  of  her 
promising  sons.  He  is  therefore  a  young 
man,  thirty-seven  years  of  age.  In  the 
decade  in  which  he  has  practised  law,  he 
has  achieved  what  can  be  modestly  spoken 
of  as  one  of  the  high  places  of  the  pro- 
fession in  his  province. 

It  is  a  little  early  yet  to  make  any  pre- 
dictions regarding  the  new  Attorney  Gene- 
ral, for  he  has  yet  to  be  elected  officially 
as  a  member  of  the  new  Government.  But 
this  will  only  be  a  formality  in  Alberta, 


where  the  United  Farm  movement  is 
strong,  and  where  the  "Man  from  Mis- 
souri "  has  but  to  show  how  it  can  be  done. 
We  are,  however,  safe  in  assuming  that 
it  would  be  unsafe  to  try  to  tamper  with 
either  the  laws  or  statutes  of  "Sunny 
Alberta"  without  coming  into  contact  with 
a  shrewd  lawyer,  who  tempers  the  letter 
of  the  law  with  justice  and  mercy. 

John,  of  course,  is  a  member  of  the 
Methodist  Church.  He  is  married  and 
has  two  sons ;  is  also  a  Mason  and  plays  an 
averagejgame  of  golf. 


Harry  Rolph,  Engineer  and  Adventurer 

By  HOWARD  W.  FAIRLIE,  Sci.  '10 


THE  harbour   facilities  of   the   Port  of 
Montreal,  especially  for  the  handling 
of   grain,   are   the   wonder   of   every 
visitor  who  has  a  chance  to  inspect  them. 
From    the    tops,    of    the    immense    grain 
elevators    one    gets  a  close-up  bird's-eye 
view  of  the  down   town  section  and   the 


harbour  front,  that  rivals  the  view  from 
Mount  Royal.  The  ten  miles  of  grain 
conveyors  on  many  of  which  motor  cars 
can  pass  easily,  provide  a  system  of  trans- 
portation that  permit  the  movement  of  any 
kind  of  grain  from  one  extreme  point  in  the 
harbour  system  to  any  other,  or 
directly  into  a  ship's  hold  at  any 
grain-loading  berth  in  the  harbour. 
Montreal  harbour  ranks  first  in  the 
world  in  efficiency  of  grain  handling 
and  no  name  is  more  ,  closely 
associated  with  this  work  than  that 
of  Harry  Rolph  who  has  been  with 
the  John  S.  Metcalf  Co  for  nearly 
twenty  years  and  who  has  carried 
the  responsibility  for  the  design  of 
this  work. 

Harry  Rolph  comes  from  that 
Toronto  family  whose  name  is  well 
known  from  the  work  of  several 
brothers  still  resident  in  that  city. 
A  brother  Frank  A.  Rolph  is  known 
not  only  for  his  connection  with 
the  engraving  business  founded  by 
the  father,  but  as  well  for  his 
services  on  the  Canadian  Com- 
mission at  Washington  during  the 
war.  The  name  of  another  brother 
Ernest,  is  closely  associated  with 
the  design  of  Hart  House7  while 
another  brother,  Albert  H.  is  a 
member  of  the  Medical  profession 
in  Toronto. 

Mr  Rolph  confesses  to  the  desire 
to  get  beyond  the  smoke  of  his  own 
city  as  the  cause  of  his  entering 
Engineering  work,  so  after  an  ele- 
mentary school  training  at  the 

anH    C*r\]]f*crizi-tf>    Tncf-Jtiif-pk    in

UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO  MONTHLY 


his  home  city,  he  entered  the  School  of 
Practical  Science.  Here  he  was  a  member 
of  those  years  of  the  early  nineties  which 
contained  such  a  number  of  men  who  are 
to-day  holding  places  of  prominence  within 
as  well  as  without  Canada. 

Public  affairs  during  those  years  were 
of  great  interest  to  him  and  we  find  him 
the  S.P.S.  representative  on  the  committee 
that  built  the  first  University  Gymnasium. 

No  better  indication  of  the  spirit  of  the 
future  Rolph  can  be  found  than  in  the  trip 
across  Lake  Ontario  in  a  canoe  by  himself 
and  his  brother  Ernie  in  1892.  In  a  spirit 
of  pure  bravado  they  set  out  in  the  morning 
and  arrived  at  Port  Dalhousie  about  three 
in  the  afternoon,  having  struggled  for  over 
four  hours  with  a  high  sea  and  a  heavy 
wind  storm.  As  far  as  is  known  it  was 
the  first  time  white  men  had  ever  accom- 
plished the  feat.  Since  that  time  it  has 
only  been  done  once.  The  story  goes  that 
the  captain  of  the  old  Empress,  on  which 
they  returned,  vowed  that  they  were  either 
perverters  of  the  truth  or  tenants  escaped 
from  a  certain  well-known  hotel  on  Queen 
West. 

After  graduation  came  the  chance  to 
take  advantage  of  his  desire  to  see  the 
world  and,  sailing  on  a  square  rigged,  four- 
masted  body — one  of  the  regular  old  wind- 
jammers— he  left  New  York  bound  for 
Shanghai.  Due  to  the  fact  that  such  a 
craft  cannot  beat  to  windward,  it  is  neces- 
sary to  lay  a  course  by  the  almanac  so  as 
to  have  favourable  breezes.  Consequently 
this  cruise  around  the  Cape  of  Good  Hope, 
south  of  the  Indian  Ocean,  and  again 
around  Tasmania  and  Australia,  lasted 
156  days  with  mighty  little  sight  of  land, 
in  distance  greater  than  the  world's 
circumference. 

From  Shanghai  he  moved  to  San  Fran- 
cisco where  for  some  time  he  was  assistant 
to  the  superintendent  of  the  Pacific  Rolling 
Mills. 

In  1896  he  went  to  the  Kootenay  country 
and  at  Kaslo  pursued  the  vagaries  of  a 
mining  country  along  with  his  old  school- 
mate Fairbairn. 


In  1898  he  went  down  the  Yukon,  really 
ahead  of  the  great  rush  to  the  Little 
Salmon  and  remained  in  the  Dawson 
District  for  five  years.  After  various  ex- 
periences he  found  himself  Acting  Com- 
missioner of  Customs,  Inland  Revenue,  etc., 
for  the  Yukon  Territory. 

Returning  to  Toronto  he  came  soon  after 
in  1904  to  Montreal  in  inspection  work  on 
the  G.T.R.  Elevators,  passing  soon  after 
to  the  John  S.  Metcalf  Co  whose  name  has 
been  linked  with  his  own  ever  since.  To-day 
this  concern  has  to  its  credit  probably  more 
elevator  work  than  any  other  similar 
company. 

Almost  from  the  inception  of  the  Mon- 
treal Harbour  Commission,  his  Company 
has  been  responsible  for  the  design  of  the 
grain  handling  facilities  of  the  Port.  In 
addition,  they  have  not  only  done  work 
in  all  the  main  grain  centres  of  Canada 
such  as  at  St.  John,  N.B.,  Port  McNicol, 
Transcona,  and  Portland,  but  as  well  have 
done  extensive  work  in  the  United  States 
where  the  Canadian  Company  controls 
the  American  Company  of  similar  name 
which  built  among  many  others,  the 
elevator  of  the  Armour  Grain  Company  at 
Chicago. 

The  foreign  field  as  well  has  felt  his  effort, 
for  with  offices  at  London,  England,  Buenos 
Aires,  and  Melbourne,  there  are  works  of 
his  company's  design  in  all  these  countries. 
The  Manchester  elevator  along  with  grain 
handling  equipment  at  both  Sydney  and 
Buenos  Aires  are  some  of  the  works  done 
under  the  supervision  of  this  son  of  the  old 
"School". 

Mr  Rplph's  home  is  in  Lachine,  Quebec, 
and  he  is  a  well-known  figure  at  the  Uni- 
versity, Winchester,  Kanawaki,  and  Dixie 
Clubs.  He  is  the  father  of  two  boys  and 
two  girls,  the  former  of  whom  will  be  no 
doubt  soon  ready  to  get  their  first  lessons 
in  that  business  which  their  father  has 
followed  so  successfully. 

As  a  crowning  achievement  Mr  Rolph 
has  lately  been  elected  President  of  the 
Montreal  Toike  Oikes. 


J.  H.  Kennedy,  the  Schoolmen's  Old-Timer 


By  P.  H.  BUCHAN,  Sci.  '08 


IN  my  undergraduate  days  at  the  "  Little 
Red  Schoolhouse "  I  used  to  read  the 
names  of  the  graduates  at  the  beginning 
of  the  Calendar  and  allow  my  fancy  to 
picture  what  manner  of  men  they  were, 
who  walked  and  talked  and  possibly  threw 
ink  at  one  another  in  the  days  gone  by. 
Even  graduation  did  not  fail  to  stimulate 
the  desire  to  watch  these  old-timers  on 
their  trails  of  fortune,  busily  causing 
wonders  to  grow  before  our  eyes  and  mak- 
ing the  world  skip  through  a  hoop  at  the 
snap  of  a  finger.  The  graduate  of  the  last 
few  years  is  doubtless  the  willing  victim 
of  the  same  insistent  curiosity  attached  to 
the  names  of  the  graduates  of  the  early 
eighties  as  I  was.  Wherefore,  the  bonds  of 
sympathy  being  strong,  I  propose  to  reward 
the  patient  seeker  after  knowledge  with  a 
glimpse  of  one  of  our  trusty  veterans  of 
'82,  with  whom  it  has  been  my  good  fortune 
to  be  associated  for  some  years  in  the 
Pacific  Coast  Branch  of  our  Engineering 
Alumni  Association. 

In  the  first  place,  imagine  yourself  to  be 
a  pedestrian  in  Vancouver  enjoying  an 
October  Sunday  afternoon  stroll.  Pre- 
sently you  observe  a  figure  of  somewhat 
generous  proportions,  with  the  merest 
suggestion  of  a  stoop,  leisurely  proceeding 
towards  you,  with  hands  thrust  deep  in  the 
side-pockets  of  a  commodious  three-quarter 
length  overcoat.  The  figure,  even  at  a 
distance,  seems  to  radiate  an  atmosphere 
of  good  humour  and  contentment  borne  of 
a  conscience  at  peace  with  man  and  his 
Maker.  Then  you  discern  the  pleasant 
features  of  Mr  J.  H.  Kennedy,  whose 
genial  countenance  you  see  in  the  accom- 
panying photograph.  Something  stirs 
within  you,  and  quicker  than  thought, 
you  voice  the  Schoolman's  greeting  "Toike 
Oike!"  Out  comes  the  right  hand  from 
the  depths  of  the  veteran's  pocket  to 
execute  an  informal  salute  in  answer  to 
your  salutation,  accompanied  by  a  friendly 
smile  and  a  cheery  remark  which  com- 
pletely dispels  your  embarassment.  And 
you  may  be  certain  that  before  the  com- 
pletion of  the  pleasant  chat  which  will 
surely  follow,  you  will  be  fully  alive  to  the 
genuine  delight  you  have  given  Mr  Ken- 
nedy by  announcing  yourself,  because 
there  is  nothing  he  more  keenly  enjoys 
than  meeting  a  fellow  Schoolman,  be  he 
ancient  or  modern. 


J.  H.  KENNEDY,  Sci.  '81 

Now  that  you  have  been  introduced,  you 
naturally  desire  to  hear  your  honourable 
veteran  of  '82  tell  his  own  story,  but  in  this 
I  fear  you  will  suffer  disappointment  be- 
cause his  royal  Canadian  modesty  forbids 
him.  I  have  known  Mr  Kennedy  for 
several  years  and  have  never  yet  heard  a 
connected  story  of  his  life,  but  he  has  a 
great  fund  of  interesting  reminiscences,  in 
the  telling  of  which  one  catches  glimpses 
of  places  he  has  been  and  things  he  has 
done.  However,  our  diplomatic  agent  has 
prevailed  upon  him  to  supply  what  we 
do  not  already  know.  The  record  which 
Mr  Kennedy  has  been  kind  enough  to 
hand  me  resembles  in  its  simple  severity 
the  industrial  chronicle  of  the  earnest 
seeker  for  a  position  in  a  transcontinental 
railway. 

The  first  important  event  in  his  long 
career  which  he  considers  worthy  of ^ecord 
is  his  birth  on  3rd  March,  1852.  This  is  a 
matter  of  personal  vanity  because  he 
believes  he  has  the  distinction  of  being  the 
oldest  living  graduate  of  the  School.  The 
members  of  the  Pacific  Coast  Branch  feel 
that  they  occupy  a  position  of  such  un- 
assailable superiority  on  that  account,  that

they  have  made  him  their  Honorary  Presi- 
dent. I  submit  this  is  a  pardonable 
conceit. 

Apparently  his  thirst  for  adventure 
matured  in  his  second  epoch-making  event, 
when  he  became  a  student  at  Woodstock 
College  in  1877.  Two  years  later  he 
enrolled  as  a  freshman  at  the  old  School  of 
Practical  Science  under  the  personal  tutor- 
ship of  the  late  Dean  Galbraith,  who 
became  a  life-long  friend.  In  1882  he 
emerged,  a  full-fledged  graduate  in  Civil 
Engineering,  with  a  shining  parchment 
certificate  and  the  world  by  the  tail.  We 
heard  him  make  the  statement  at  our  last 
annual  dinner  in  Vancouver,  with  un- 
blushing candour,  that  he  was  an  "  awful 
duffer"  at  school.  We  said:  "Thank  God, 
there  is  hope  for  us  also."  His  academic 
achievements  were  all  the  more  remarkable 
because  he  did  not  attempt  to  gain  a  higher 
education  until  he  was  twenty-five  years  of 
age.  Up  to  that  time  he  had  only  received 
instruction  in  a  common  school,  but  two 
years  at  Woodstock  College  prepared  him 
for  matriculation,  his  graduation  taking 
place  at  thirty. 

Having  now  pushed  our  budding  engineer 
out  into  the  cold  unsympathetic  world  I 
cannot  do  better  than  quote  from  his  own 
chronicle:  "  1882-1885,  rodman,  leveller 
and  assistant  engineer  on  the  Lake  Superior 
Division  of  the  Canadian  Pacific  Railway. 
1886-1887,  locating  engineer  on  the  Detroit 
extension  of  the  Canadian  Pacific,  between 
Woodstock  and  London,  Ontario."  During 
the  five  years  of  service  with  the  C.P.R. 
he  evidently  made  considerable  progress. 
Doubtless  this  was  due  to  the  encourage- 
ment of  his  wife,  whom  he  married  in 
1884. 

His  next  move  was  to  become  articled 
to  an  Ontario  Land  Surveyor  at  St. 
Thomas  and  qualify  for  his  O.L.S.  This 
he  accomplished  in  1887  and  served  with 
the  same  employer  throughout  the  follow- 
ing year.  However,  his  chosen  vocation 
proved  more  attractive,  and  in  1888  we 
find  him  railroading  again.  His  chronicle 
resumes:  "1888-1889,  assistant  engineer 
on  location  and  construction  of  -the  Temi- 
sconata  Railway  in  Quebec  and  New 
Brunswick.  1889-1892,  assistant  engineer, 
Montana  Central  Railway;  location  and 
construction  of  the  Great  Northern  Rail- 
way through  what  is  now  known  as 
the  Glacier  National  Park.  1892-1894, 


assistant  engineer  on  the  Soo  Line  in  the 
Dakotas."  Here  he  made  examinations 
and  reports  on  all  the  bridges  of  the 
system  for  Capt.  W.  W.  Rich,  Chief 
Engineer  of  the  Soo  Line  at  that  time. 
Capt.  Rich  afterwards  went  to  China  and 
became  head  of  all  the  Chinese  Railways. 

Here,  it  seems,  the  spell  was  broken,  for 
Mr"  Kennedy's  next  observation  shows  him 
practising  land  surveying  at  St.  Thomas 
under  his  own  name  after  an  absence  of  six 
years  full  of  strenuous  endeavour  and 
invaluable  experience  as  a  railroad  builder. 
Apparently  the  lights  of  the  wicked  city 
of  St.  Thomas  held  him  captive  within  the 
precincts  of  that  semi-civilized  community 
for  three  years  because  the  call  of  the  wild 
did  not  upset  him  again  until  1898  when 
he  went  to  the  Stikine  River,  in  Northern 
British  Columbia,  as  instrument  man  on  a 
location  party  for  the  MacKenzie  and 
Mann  interests  in  connection  with  the 
Vancouver,  Victoria  and  Eastern  Railway 
and  Navigation  Company.  He  remained 
there  until  the  summer  of  the  following 
year  and  then  journeyed  south  to  make 
surveys  for  the  British  American  Coal 
Company  in  the  vicinity  of  the  Crow's  Nest 
Pass,  which  kept  him  busy  throughout 
1900. 

About  this  time  he  must  have  been 
stricken  with  home-sickness  for  his  native 
Province  because  his  chronicle  shows  he 
took  a  wild  leap  to  Michipicoten  Harbour 
to  take  charge  of  three  location  parties 
for  the  Algoma  Central  Railway.  It  was 
during  the  winter  of  1900-1901  that  he 
made  a  reconnaisance  on  snowshoes  down 
the  Agawa  River  to  Agawa  Bay  in  com- 
pany with  Mr  William  McCarthy.  This 
winter  was  also  memorable  because  upon 
coming  out  of  the  woods  he  learned  of  the 
death  of  Queen  Victoria. 

Having  now  reached  the  age  of  fifty 
years  our  veteran  railroader  once  more 
turned  his  face  westward  and  accepted  a 
position  as  assistant  chief  engineer  for 
MacKenzie  and  Mann  on  the  construction 
of  the  V.V.  &  E.  Railway  from  Penticton 
to  Midway  in  British  Columbia.  About 
1901  this  4ine  was  acquired  by  the  Great 
Northern  Railway  and  Mr  Kennedy  be- 
came definitely  connected  with  that  Com- 
pany as  Assistant  Chief  and  finally  as 
Chief  Engineer  of  the  V.V.  &  E.,  with 
headquarters  at  Vancouver,  which  position 
he  retained  until  he  retired  in  1916.  It  is

another  of  his  vanities  that  he  served  the 
Great  Northern,  in  all,  for  eighteen  years. 
Westerners  will  know  that  this  fact  testifies 
most  forcibly  to  his  fine  skill  as  an  engineer 
and  his  ready  understanding  of  human 
nature  for  at  one  time  that  railway  had  the 
reputation  of  being  the  most  exacting,  the 
least  forgiving  and  the  most  ruthless  in  its 
treatment  of  engineers,  of  any  corporation 
on  the  North  American  Continent. 

In  addition  to  his  O.L.S.  he  had  the 
degree  of  C.E.  conferred  upon  him  in  1886. 
He  is  a  member  of  the  Engineering  In- 
stitute of  Canada  and  has  considerable 
pride  in  having  been  elected  to  membership 
in  the  parent  institution,  the  Canadian 
Society  of  Civil  Engineers  at  its  first 
meeting  in  1887.  His  membership  in  the 
American  Society  of  Civil  Engineers  was 
granted  in  1900. 

Mr  Kennedy's  residence  has  been  in 
Vancouver  for  several  years,  where  he  lives 
in  corhpany  with  the  life-long  partner  of 
his  fortunes  in  his  home  at  1215  llth 
Avenue  West.  Notwithstanding  his  years 
he  is  in  vigorous  health,  and  is  carrying 
on  a  Consulting  Engineering  practice, 
largely  in  connection  with  logging  railways 
in  British  Columbia.  He  deftly  describes 
this  as  "pottering  around" — which  brings 
us  to  the  end  of  our  theme.  It  is  my 
belief,  however,  that  the  exercise  of  a  little 
diplomacy  may  persuade  him  to  amplify 
our  chronicle  with  some  of  the  reminis- 
cences which,  told  in  his  own  inimitable 
way,  have  often  been  the  source  of  much 
enjoyment  at  our  annual  gatherings  in 
Vancouver. 

In  conclusion,  I  trust  that  every  one 
who  reads  this  humble  attempt  to  portray 
the  "Schoolmen's  Old-Timer"  as  one  sees 
him  to-day,  will  catch,  in  some  measure  at 
least,  the  glow  from  his  genial  personality. 
Be  it  never  forgotten  that  throughout  the 
forty-three  years  since  he  became  a  fresh- 
man at  the  School,  scarce  five  of  which 
were  spent  outside  the  Dominion,  the 
ideals  of  the  late  Dean  have  been  tried  in 
the  fires  of  strenuous  toil  and  beaten  with 
the  hammers  of  vicissitude.  In  him  they 
have  proved  their  sterling  worth  and  now 
find  their  ultimate  expression  in  our 
veteran  of  '82  as  we  see  him — a  God- 
fearing Canadian  gentleman. 

What  more  need  be  said?

Hart  House  Graduates'  Associations  Plan  to 
Increase  Membership 

Over  sixty  graduates  attended  the  annual  dinner 
and  meeting  of  the  Graduates'  Association  of  Hart 
House  on  Monday,  November  21.  John  Jennings 
occupied  the  Chair. 

Mr  Bickersteth  addressed  the  meeting  briefly 
outlining  the  facilities  offered  to  graduates  by  Hart 
House,  and  stating  that  if  a  larger  graduate  member- 
ship were  secured  the  Stewards  would  consider 
materially  increasing  these  facilities. 

Plans  for  a  membership  campaign  were  discussed 
and  A.  F.  Barr  was  appointed  Chairman  of  a  com- 
mittee to  undertake  a  personal  canvass  of  graduates 
resident  in  the  city. 

A  resolution  was  passed  requesting  the  Hart 
House  Board  of  Stewards  to  consider  admitting 
Diploma  graduates  of  the  School  of  Practical 
Science  on  the  same  footing  as  graduates  of  the 
University  of  Toronto. 

The  following  Executive  Committee  was  elected 
for  the  coming  year:  President,  A.  C.  Snively; 
Secretary,  Percy  W.  Beatty ;  Arts  Representative,  C.  S. 
Macdonald;  Medicine,  E.  A.  McCulloch;  Applied 
Science,  J.  H.  Craig;  Dentistry,  F.  R.  Mallory; 
Representative  to  House  Committee,  G.  F.  McFarland; 
Representative  to  Board  of  Stewards,  John  Jennings; 
Representative  to  Membership  Committee,  W.  E. 
Douglas. 

Applied  Science  11 

Among  the  many  functions  of  the  "School" 
alumni  annual  gatherings,  one  of  the  most  important 
is  the  opportunity  provided  for  the  boys  who  rubbed 
shoulders  in  former  days  to  again  renew  old  friend- 
ships. The  graduates  of  "One-ty-One"  proved 
their  appreciation  of  the  fellowship  offered  by  a 
bowl  of  soup  and  hot  roast  beef,  by  assembling 
around  a  well-filled  table  in  Hunts  Dining  Room, 
788  Yonge  St.  Though  a  number  of  vacant  chairs 
were  noticed  (unavoidable  (?)  absentees),  all  present 
seemed  to  fully  enjoy  the  occasion,  and  though  one 
decade  has  slipped  by  since  our  leave  taking  from 
the  Old  School,  yet  the  "Eleven"  boys  are  th<?  same 
in  spirit,  if  a  little  more  experience  and  wisdom 
has  been  incidentally  absorbed. 

Before  dispersing  for  the  Rugby  Game,  the 
President,  "Billy"  Wright,  called  the  members  to 
order  for  a  few  minutes  for  the  reading  of  letters 
and  telegrams  of  regret  from  several  out  of  town 
who  were  unable  to  be  present  with  the  bunch. 
To  those  we  wish  to  send  our  best  regards  and  hope 
for  further  reunions  later. 

The  Secretary,  Angus  G.  McLeish,  would  be  glad 
to  keep  in  touch  with  all  the  class,  and  any  changes 
of  locations,  addresses,  etc,  should  be  sent  .to  him  at 
159  Pacific  Ave.,  Toronto. 


After  the  luncheon  the  President,  S.  G.  Bennett, 
referred  to  the  Minutes  of  the  last  two  meetings, 
and  interesting  communications  were  read  from 
various  members  of  the  class. 

Mr  E.  E.  Hugli  was  elected  Secretary  for  the 
following  year  and  any  communications  should  be 
sent  to  him  at  the  Central  Y.M.C.A.,  Toronto. 


Applied  Science  14 

At  the  annual  reunion  of  the  Faculty  of  Applied 
Science  and  Engineering  this  year,  the  class  of  '14

TWO  NEW  BOOKS  ANY  STUDENT 
OR  ALUMNUS  WILL  APPRECIATE 


By  Madame  Pantazzi 
ROUMANIA  IN  LIGHT  AND  SHADOW 

Madame  Pantazzi  is  a  Canadian  girl  who, 
a  number  of  years  ago,  went  to  find  a  home 
and  country  in  Roumania.  She  has  lived 
very  closely  to  all  classes  in  her  adopted  land 
and  has  had  some  remarkable  experiences 
which  are  most  ably  portrayed  in  the  book. 
This  volume,  by  the  way,  gives  probably  the 
best  picture  extant  of  Roumania  as  it  was 
before  the  war  and  to-day. 

A  large  book,  English  made,  280  pages, 
with  numerous  representative  illustrations, 
$6.00. 


By  Joseph  Conrad 
NOTES  OF  LIFE  AND  LETTERS 

This  book  presents  Conrad  in  something 
of  a  new  light  as  a  biographer,  essayist  and 
autobiographer.  To  those  who  love  Conrad's 
style  and  presentation  it  would  be  exceed- 
ingly acceptable.  His  treatment  of  con- 
temporary writers  is,  as  that  of  all  his  work, 
inimitable. ' 

Standard  format,  substantially  bound, 
$2.50.

Should  a  University  keep  in  touch  with  its  graduates  or  should  graduates 
keep  in  touch  with  the  University  ? 


"  It  is  not  the  intention  of  these  lines  to  suggest, 
as  the  opening  paragraphs  might,  that  the  relation 
of  Alumni  to  the  University  is  a  mere  matter  of 
dollars  and  cents.  The  real  obligation,  the  bond 
which  draws  us  irresistibly  to  the  University,  has 
no  such  sordid  foundation.  But  the  thought  it  is 
desired  to  suggest  is  that  the  University,  having  a 
real  and  acute  problem  of  dollars  and  cents,  a  prob- 
lem incurred  on  behalf  of  her  graduates  and  under- 
graduates, it  is  decidedly  an  obligation  upon 
every  graduate  and  undergraduate  to  assist  the 
University  in  solving  that  problem.  It  can  only 
be  solved  by  convincing  our  fellow  citizens  that 
University  education  is  not  only  a  good  investment, 
but  the  very  best  investment  the  Province  can 
make." — John  R,  Bone,  M.A.,  in  the  December 
"  Monthy  " 


The  University  of  Toronto  needs  the  support  of  every  graduate  in  forming  an  % 
intelligent  public  opinion  favourable  to  its  request  for  increased  Government 
support.

SCHOOL    AGES 

AND 

COURSES    OF    INSTRUCTION 


In  the  educational  system  of  Ontario  provision  is  made  in  the  Courses 
of  Study  for  instruction  to  the  child  of  four  years  of  age  in  the*  Kinder- 
garten up  to  the  person  of  unstated  age  who  desires  a  Technical  or 
Industrial  Course  as  a  preparation  for  special  fitness  in  a  trade  or  pro- 
fession. 

All  schools  established  under  the  Public  Schools  Act  shall  be  free 
Public  Schools,  and  every  person  between  the  ages  of  five  and  twenty- 
one  years,  except  persons  whose  parents  or  guardians  are  Separate 
School  supporters,  shall  have  the  right  to  attend  some  such  school  in  the 
urban  municipality  or  rural  school  section  in  which  he  resides.  Children 
between  the  ages  of  four  and  seven  years  may  attend  Kindergarten 
schools,  subject  to  the  payment  of  such  fees  as  to  the  Board  may  seem 
expedient.  Children  of  Separate  School  supporters  attend  the  Separate 
Schools. 

The  compulsory  ages  of  attendance  are  from  eight  to  fourteen  years 
and  provision  is  made  in  the  Statutes  for  extending  the  time  to  sixteen 
years  of  age,  and  also  to  eighteen  years  of  age,  under  conditions  stated 
in  The  Adolescent  School  Attendance  Act  of  1919. 

The  several  Courses  of  Study  in  the  educational  system  under  the 
Department  of  Education  are  taken  up  in  the  Kindergarten,  Public, 
Separate,  Continuation  and  High  Schools  and  Collegiate  Institutes,  and 
in  Industrial  and  Technical  Schools.  Copies  of  the  Regulations  regard- 
ing each  may  be  obtained  by  application  to  the  Deputy  Minister  of

News  and  Comments 


sisting  of  Sir  Robert 

Falconer,  Mr  Justice  Masten,  Mr  Angus 
MacMurchy,  Brig.-Gen,  C.  H.  Mitchell, 
Mr  John  J.  Gibson,  and  Mr  Hugh  D.  Scully 
to  enquire  into  the  advisability  of  com- 
mencing construction  work  on  the  Mem- 
orial Tower  during  the  present  winter. 

The  Committee  went  into  the  situation 
very  thoroughly  and  while  recognizing 
fully  the  sentimental  advantages  of  erect- 
ing the  Tower  at  an  early  date,  reported 
against  commencing  construction  at 
present. 

The  two  chief  reasons  given  by  the 
Committee  for  its  decision  were:  (1)  the 
likelihood  that  under  present  conditions 
the  cost  of  the  Tower  as  designed  by  the 
architects-  would  exceed  $200,000,  the 
figure  originally  set  as  a  maximum  and 
(2)  the  probability  that  building  costs 
would  decrease  in  the  next  year  or  two. 

The  Board  of  Directors  has  accepted  the 
recommendations  of  the  Committee  and 
has  instructed  the  architects  to  complete 
the  plans  so  that  the  inclusive  cost  of  the 
Tower  will  not  exceed  $200,000. 


THE  QUESTION  OF 
AN  APPOINTMENTS 
BUREAU 


of  our 

1S  drawn  to  ™ 
on   page    158 

of  this  issue  written 
by  Professor  C.  R.  Fay  and  dealing  with 
the  work  of  the  Cambridge  Appointments 
Board. 

Professor  Fay  came  to  Toronto  from 
Cambridge  only  last  autumn  and  speaks 
from  intimate  knowledge  of  the  workings 
of  the  Board. 

While  conditions  at  Cambridge  Uni- 
versity differ  widely  from  those  at  the 
University  of  Toronto,  yet  there  are  many 
things  in  Professor  Fay's  article  which 
those  who  are  interesting  themselves  in  a 
University  of  Toronto  Appointments 
Bureau  will  find  of  great  interest  and  value. 
The  fundamental  principle  underlying  the 


success  at  Cambridge,  namely,  that  of 
securing  the  confidence  of  employers 
through  accurate  and  well  founded  re- 
commendation of  candidates,  must  be  the 
foundation  of  successful  work  anywhere. 
It  is  possible,  too,  that  a  board  constituted 
somewhat  after  the  Cambridge  Appoint- 
ments Board  might  be  of  great  service  here. 
A  number  of  University  organizations 
and  a  few  individual  professors  are  at 
present  endeavouring  to  lend  some  assist- 
ance to  graduates  and  undergraduates  in 
securing  suitable  employment.  But  the 
efforts  are  on  the  whole  not  very  serious 
and  are  characterized  by  lack  of  co-opera- 
tion. A  board  organized  and  supported 
financially  by  the  University  and  having 
in  its  membership,  representatives  of 
various  University  units,  and  of  the 
graduate  body,  should  be  in  a  position  to 
co-ordinate  what  is  now  being  done  and 
supplement  it  in  a  way  that  would  provide 
some  adequate  employment  service. 

DISTINGUISHED         The    University    had 
ATTHF  the   honour  of   enter- 

two  ver   dis- 


tinguished  guests  on 
November  28,  Lord  Byng  and  Admiral 
Beatty. 

The  Governor-  General  spent  most  of 
the  day  at  the  University  inspecting 
various  things  of  interest.  At  12  o'clock 
a  special  convocation  was  held  and  the 
honorary  degree  of  Doctor  of  Laws  con- 
ferred upon  him.  He  had  lunch  at  Hart 
House  with  members  of  the  Board  of 
Governors  and  the  teaching  staff. 

Admiral  Beatty  arrived  at  the  University 
at  3.30  o'clock  in  the  afternoon  and  spoke 
to  a  large  gathering  of  students  who  had 
assembled  to  the  south  of  Hart  House. 


MOTION  PICTURE 
MACHINE  USED 
FOR  RESEARCH 


A  very  interesting 
research  experiment 
in  which  the*  use  of 
an  ultra  rapid  motion 
picture  camera  played  a  prominent  part 
was  recently  performed  by  Professors 
Haultain  and  Dyer  of  the  Department  of 
Mining  Engineering.

This  Department  has  for  sometime  been 
making  experiments  with  a  view  to  im- 
proving the  efficiency  of  the  ore  crushing 
machine  in  common  use.  This  machine 
consists  of  a  large  barrel  in  which  the  ore 
is  placed  with  steel  balls  and  the  whole 
revolved.  The  experiments  have  been 
directed  towards  securing  the  maximum 
crushing  effect  through  variation  of  the 
size  and  number  of  the  balls  and  the  rotary 
speed  of  the  receptacle.  Difficulty  arose 
from  the  fact  that  it  was  not  possible  with 
the  eye  to  ascertain  the  movement  of  the 
balls  when  the  barrel  was  rotated.  Clifford 
Sifton  Jr.  (U.C.  '15)  of  the  Filmcraft 
Co.  came  to  the  rescue  with  a  camera 
capable  of  taking  120  photographs  per 
second. 

When  the  film  was  projected  at  a  slow 
rate  of  speed  many  interesting  features 
were  made  clear  which  could  not  be  seen 
in  any  other  way.  This  ultra  speed 
camera  bears  a  relation  to  rapid  motion 
similar  to  the  relation  of  the  microscope 
to  minute  structures. 


FEDERATION 
IDEA  MAKES 
PROGRESS 


At  the  December 
meeting  of  the  Alumni 
Board  of  Directors, 
the  University  Col- 
lege Alumnae  Association  and  the  Univer- 
sity College  Alumni  Association  were 
formally  admitted  to  affiliation  with  the 
Federation. 

The  chief  items  of  agreement  between 
the  Federation  and  the  Association  are  as 
follows:  (1)  That  the  College  Association 
remit  $2.00  for  each  of  its  paid  members 
and  pay  the  cost  of  stationery,  printing, 
postage,  etc.,  incidental  to  its  work.  (2) 
That  the  Federation  bear  the  cost  of  all 
clerical  work  in  connection  with  banking 
and  book-keeping,  and  the  mailing  of 
circulars  and  notices  of  meetings,  and  turn 
over  to  the  College  Association  the  list 
of  members  who  have  hitherto  paid  direct 
to  the  Federation. 


BRIEFS 

THE  GRADUATES  OF  TRINITY  MEDICAL 
COLLEGE  held  a  reception  at  the  Academy 
of  Medicine,  Queen's  Park,  on  the  evening 
of  December  12,  in  honour  of  J.  Algernon 
Temple,  the  former  dean  of  the  College. 
A  portrait  of  Dr  Temple  by  Mr  Austin 
Shaw  was  presented  by  General  J.  T. 


Fotheringham  as  a  token  of  the  esteem  of 
the  graduates. 

Dr  Temple  graduated  from  McGill 
University  in  1864  and  began  practice  in 
Toronto  in  1869. 


PRESIDENT  FALCONER  has  received  from 
the  Colonial  Office  of  the  British  Govern- 
ment, a  memorandum  concerning  appoint- 
ments for  university  men  in  the  Colonial 
Service.  The  positions  are  of  an  admin- 
istrative character  and  in  most  cases  in- 
clude the  carrying  on  of  the  functions  of 
magistrate  and  sole  representative  of  the 
British  Government  among  the  natives 
of  colonies  and  protectorates. 

There  are  approximately  100  vacancies 
annually;  the  majority  being  in  tropical 
Africa  and  the  far  East.  Further  informa- 
tion may  be  secured  on  application  to  the 
Registrar. 


PROFESSOR  A.  B.  MACALLUM,  formally 
of  the  University  of  Toronto,  now  of  McGill 
University,  spoke  before  the  Royal  Cana- 
dian Institute  on  December  3,  on  "China 
and  its  Problems."  Dr  Macallum  has 
recently  returned  from  China  where  he 
spent  some  months  with  the  Rockefeller 
Foundation  assisting  in  the  organization 
of  the  Union  Medical  College,  Peking. 
A  large  audience  of  friends  and  admirers 
greeted  Dr  Macallum. 


THIS  YEAR  HAS  WITNESSED  a  revival  of 
interest  in  University  debating.  Not  for 
many  years  has  there  been  such  a  large 
crowd  at  the  debates  in  Convocation  Hall 
as  when  the  ancient  rivals  McGill  and 
Toronto  met  on  December  5  to  discuss  the 
subject  "Resolved  that  a  substantial 
reduction  should  be  made  in  the  Canadian 
Tariff  by  the  incoming  Dominion  Parlia- 
ment." The  University  turned  out  en 
masse  and  showed  that  their  interest  was 
as  keen  in  Varsity's  success  on  the  platform 
as  on  the  gridiron. 

Simultaneously  with  this  debate,  Queen's 
was  opposing  another  Varsity  team  at 
Kingston  and  another  McGill  team  at 
Montreal.  The  result  was  a  victory  for 
Queen's,  who  succeeded  in  defeating  both 
her  opponents. 

A  COMMENDABLE  DECISION  in  regard  to 
the  editorship  of  Varsity  has  been  reached 
by  the  Students'  Administrative  Council. 


UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO  MONTHLY

The  appointment  will  now  run  for  the 
calendar  year  in  place  of  the  University 
year.  This  will  mean  that  the  editor's 
duties  will  be  distributed  over  two  academic 
years  leaving  one  term  in  each  free  for 
academic  work.  Mr  Eric  Druce,  '23, 
Forestry,  has  been  appointed  editor  for 
the  coming  year. 

THE  MODERN  LANGUAGE  CLUB  presented 
two  French  plays  in  Hart  House  Theatre 
on  December  12.  One  of  the  plays, 
L'Ermite  was  written  by  a  first  year 
University  College  student,  Mr  John 
MacNaught.  It  is  a  brilliant  piece  of 
work  and  won  the  high  praise  of  Professor 
De  Champ  in  the  remarks  with  which  he 
opened  the  evening's  entertainment.  The 
other  play  was  by  Anatole  France. 


Lecture  Series  for  the 
Down-Town  Man 


THE  FACULTY  OF  Music  has  announced 
a  series  of  eighteen  lectures  to  be  given 
after  the  New  Year  by  Dr  Healy  Willan, 
Dr  Albert  Ham,  Mr  H.  A.  Fricker,  and 
Mr  F.  A.  Moure.  While  intended  pri- 
marily for  students  registered  for  the 
Bachelor  of  Music  degree,  others  may  at- 
tend on  payment  of  a  small  fee.  Full 
information  may  be  secured  from  the 
Secretary  of  the  Faculty. 


THE  FIRST  COLLEGE  NEWSPAPER  to 
print  an  extra  is  the  distinction  claimed  by 
the  Varsity.  The  editorial  staff  published 
a  special  edition  at  3.30  p.m.  on  November 
28,  in  order  to  honour  the  distinguished 
guests  of  the  University,  Admiral  Beatty 
and  Lord  Byng.  It  consisted  of  a  single 
sheet  detailing  the  activities  of  the  great 
men  during  their  stay  in  Toronto. 


THE  ANNUAL  SCHOOL  DINNER  which  for 
so  long  has  occupied  a  place  of  prominence 
among  the  functions  of  the  Faculty  of 
Applied  Science  was  held  on  December  6 
at  Bingham's  Cafe.  Over  300  graduates 
and  undergraduates  were  present.  Among 
the  speakers  were,  Dean  Mitchell,  Princi- 
pal Hutton,  Professor  C.  H.  C.  Wright, 
and  E.  L.  Cousins. 


IT  is  ANTICIPATED  that  500  people  will 
attend  the  Annual  Farmers'  Short  Course 
which  will  be  given  at  the  University  from 
February  6-17.  Last  year  275  were  en- 
rolled. The  course  has  been  enlarged  from 
thirty  to  forty  lectures  and  from  five  to 
twelve  subjects. 


COMMENCING  with  Tuesday,  January 
V>  31,  a  course  of  weekly  lectures  under 
the  auspices  of  the  Alumni  Federa- 
tion will  be  given  at  the  University  by 
prominent  professors. 

The  primary  purpose  of  the  series  is  to 
place  some  of  the  intellectually  good  things 
of  the  University  at  the  disposal  of  the 
citizens  of  Toronto,  and  in  this  way  deepen 
the  interest  and  increase  the  appreciation 
of  the  public  in  the  institution. 

The  University  is  not  without  many  very 
fine  public  lecture  series  but  very  often 
these  are  given  at  an  hour  which  precludes 
the  attendance  of  down-town  workers. 
Often,  too,  the  lectures  are  of  a  technical 
character  designed  to  interest  the  academic 
person  rather  than  the  business  or  pro- 
fessional. 

In  the  Alumni  Federation  series  an 
effort  will  be  made  to  overcome  these  two 
objections  on  the  part  of  the  down-town 
man.  The  lectures  will  be  given  in  the 
evening  at  8  o'clock  (in  the  auditorium  of 
the  Physics  Building)  and  the  subjects  will 
be  such  as  are  discussed  by  men  of  intellec- 
tual tendencies,  anywhere;  moreover,  the 
majority  of  them  will  be  related  to  ques- 
tions of  immediate  public  interest.  They 
will  present  in  popular  form  recent  develop- 
ments and  matters  of  perpetual  interest 
in  the  field  of  knowledge. 

It  is  expected  that  the  course  will  include 
the  following: 

Professor  Wrong  on  some  phase  of  the 
Washington  Conference. 

Professor  J.  C.  McLennan  on  recent 
developments  in  Physics. 

Dean  Mitchell  .  on  the  place  of  the 
hydro-electrical  development  in  Ontario. 

President  Falconer  on  the  relation  of 
the  University  and  its  staff  to  the  oublic. 

Professor  C.  R.  Fay  on  some  economic 
subject. 

Principal  Hutton  on  the  art  of  J.  M. 
Barrie. 

Professor  Currelly  on  recent  additions 
to  the  Museum. 


Toronto  Graduates  in  the  New  House  of  Commons

W.  L.  Mackenzie  King,  '95 

BY  A  PERSONAL  FRIEND  OF  THE  NEW  PRIME  MINISTER 


THE   premiership    of    Canada   has    ac- 
quired the  habit.     It  has  learned  to 
come  to  the  University  of  Toronto 
and  to  stay  there. 

Arthur  Meighen- — and  now  Mackenzie 
King. 

It  was  time  for  a  change  in  this  respect 
at  least.  The  U.  of  T.,  despite  our 
boastings,  was  not  getting  its  share  of  the 
honours. 

Both  in  the  old 
University  College 
"Lit"  and  at  Uni- 
versity sermons,  we 
of  this  century's  first 
decade  were  always 
being  told  that  the 
future  destiny  of  Can- 
ada lay  in  our  hands 
and  that  graduates 
of  the  University  of 
Toronto  were  the 
natural-born  govern- 
ors of  mankind. 

At  such  praise  we 
naturally  expanded. 
But  if  we  stopped  to 
think,  which  we 
scarcely  ever  did  in 
those  days,  we  real- 
ized that  Sir  Wilfrid 
Laurier,  premier  from 
1896  to  1911  was  a 
McGill  man.  When 
Sir  Robert  Borden 
succeeded  him,  we  had 

the  chance  to  think  once  more  that  the 
University  of  Toronto  had  been  over- 
looked again,  this  time  in  favour  of  a 
Maritime  province  college. 

True,  as  time  went  on,  we  developed  in 
E.  W.  Beatty  a  president  of  the  Canada 
Pacific  Railway,  but  even  that  exalted 
business  post  hardly  means  as  much  as 
the  premiership  of  Canada. 

Then  Sir  Robert  Borden  resigned,  and 
the  line  of  University  of  Toronto  premiers 
began. 

Arthur  Meighen  graduated  in  1896; 
Mackenzie  King  in  1895. 

Much  has  been  written  about  Mr  King 
in  these  last  few  weeks.  Of  all  the  things 
that  can  be  said  or  speculated  about  him, 


Premier  King  with  John  D.  Rockefeller,  Jr.,  and  a  miner. 
This  photograph  was  taken  in  1915  when  Mr  King  was 
engaged  in  an  industrial  survey  in  the  Colorado  mining 
districts  for  the  Rockefeller  industrial  foundation. 


nothing  is  more  significant  than  the  nature 
of  the  training  he  has  had  for  the  premier- 
ship.    Whether  or  not  this  training,   ap- 
plied to  his  own  personal   consciousness, 
his  own  individual   personality,   means  a 
notable    and    fruitful    premiership    is    an 
absorbing    problem.       Mackenzie    King's 
training  has  had  this  indubitable  advan- 
tage; it  is  modern.     It  has  had  to  do  not 
so  much  with  the  old 
traditional      subjects 
of   romance   as   with 
the    new   crusade    of 
enthusiasm,    the    ro- 
mance of  industry. 

Laurier,  Borden, 
Meighen  —  their 
training  was  largely 
legal  and  political. 
King's  largely  econ- 
omic and  industrial. 
There  is  this  dif- 
ference too.  The 
preliminary  training 
of  our  last  three  prime 
ministers,  except  for 
a  little  teaching  done 
by  Borden  in  New 
Jersey,  was  exclusive- 
ly Canadian.  Mac- 
kenzie King's  has 
been  both  Canadian 
and  American.  He 
has  had  experience 
in  a  wider,  (but,  we 
think,  not  a  better) 

field.  He  can  bring  to  bear  on  Canadian 
questions  the  experience  gained  in  the 
Republic  as  well  as  in  the  Dominion. 

At  the  University,  Mackenzie  King  was 
in  Political  Science,  and  found  his  chief 
interest  in  the  study  of  economics. 

This  was  merely  the  beginning  of  a 
thread  that  has  run  consistently  through 
his  career, — a  native  and  insatiable  interest 
in  sociological  and  industrial  problems. 

He  won  a  fellowship  in  political  economy 
in  the  graduate  school  of  the  University 
of  Chicago.  During  that  period  he  lived 
at  the  Hull  House  Settlement,  and  con- 
tributed, to  the  Journal  of  Political  Econo- 
my, theses  on  "  Trade  Union  Organization 
in  the  United  States,"  and  on  "The 


145 


146 


UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO  MONTHLY 


International  Typographical  Union." 

Later  on,  in  Toronto,  he  wrote  a  series 
of  articles  for  the  Mail  and  Empire,  based 
on  personal  investigation,  about  the  un- 
favourable living  and  working  conditions 
of  labourers  and  their  families. 

Then  he  became  deputy  minister  and 
later  minister  of  Labour  at  Ottawa  jn  the 
Laurier  Cabinet. 

Subsequently,  as  a  private  citizen,  he 
made  minute  industrial  investigations  all 
over  the  North  American  continent  for 
the  Rockefeller  Foundation,  worked  out 
his  parallel  between  democracy  in  industry 
and  in  politics,  and  outlined  in  his  book, 
Industry  and  Humanity,  his  scheme  of 
"representation  in  industry." 

It  was  not  industrial  problems  in  a 
vacuum  or  in  isolation,  however,  that  held 
Mackenzie  King's  attention.  It  was  in- 
dustry in  relation  to  the  people  and  to  the 
state. 


For,  with  the  first  thread,  devotion  to 
sociology,  was  interwoven  from  the  be- 
ginning another  strand  of  motive  and  desire, 
an  instinctive  and  unquenchable  deter- 
mination to  be  of  service  to  his  native 
country  in  the  broadest  field  of  public 
affairs. 

It  was  this  latter  thread  that  guided 
him  through  all  the  labyrinth  of  American 
experience  and  kept  leading  him  back  to 
Canada.  Time  after  time  he  refused 
offers  from  the  Rockefellers,  the  Carnegies, 
and  other  American  leaders  who  would 
have  paid  for  his  services  whatever  he 
asked. 

Mr  King's  career  up  to  the  present  is 
a  unique  fusion  of  the  sociological  and 
political.  The  problem  of  chief  importance 
not  only  to  himself  but  more  so  to  the 
country  is  what  will  be  the  practical, 
statesmanly  result  of  this  fusion,  this 
intermingling  of  already  allied  strands? 


Why  University  Education  at  Less  Than  Cost? 


In  our  December  issue  there  appeared 
an  exceedingly  clear  and  forceful  article 
by  Mr  John  R.  Bone,  on  the  fundamental 
financial  problem  of  state-supported 
universities. 

Mr  Bone  points  to  the  fact  that  a 
student's  tuition  for  one  year  at  the  Uni- 
versity costs  in  the  neighbourhood  of  $150 
in  excess  of  what  he  pays  in  fees.  The 
difference  is  paid  by  the  Province. 

"  What  benefit  is  it  to  the  Province  to 
provide  University  education  at  less  than 
cost?"  Mr  Bone  asks;  then  declares, 


"  Answer  it  so  that  all  may  be  convinced  and 
the  problem  of  University  finances  will 
automatically  solve  itself." 

The  suggestion  was  made  that  readers 
of  THE  MONTHLY  should  send  in  answers 
to  the  question  and  practical  suggestions 
regarding  the  best  methods  of  bringing 
home  to  the  people,  the  true  value  of  the 
University  as  a  provincial  institution. 
The  three  articles  appearing  below  have 
been  received.  We  trust  with  the  busy 
holiday  season  behind  us  more  answers 
may  be  forthcoming  for  our  next  issue. 


•WHAT  BENEFIT  IS  IT  TO  1HE  PROVINCE  TO  PROVIDE  UNIVERSITY 
EDUCATION  AT  LESS  THAN  COST?" 

By  GEORGE  F.  KAY,  '00 
DEAN  OF  THE  COLLEGE  OF  LIBERAL  ARTS,  UNIVERSITY  OF  IOWA 


As  an  alumnus  of  the  University  of 
Toronto^  I  am  much  interested  in  the 
question  raised  by  Mr  Bone,  "What 
benefit  is  it  to  the  Province  to  provide 
University  education  at  less  than  cost?" 
This  is  a  question  which  tax-payers  will 
continue  to  ask,  and  they  are  entitled  to 
receive  a  satisfactory  answer. 

The  purpose  of  university  education  is 
but  an  extension  of  the  purpose  of  ele- 


mentary and  high  school  education;  the 
higher  branches  are  essential  to  the  effici- 
ency of  the  whole  system.  The  aim  in 
providing  university  training  at  low  cost 
is  to  encourage  and  stimulate  young  people 
to  equip  themselves  to  do  effectively  the 
many  kinds  of  service  which  are  of  funda- 
mental importance  in  the  development 
of  a  province  or  a  state. 

If  the  individual  who  receives  university

training  were  alone  to  benefit  then  he 
should  pay  in  full  for  his  education.  But 
he  alone  does  not  benefit.  University 
graduates  go  into  many  widely  distributed 
communities  and  there  by  their  expert 
knowledge,  their  leadership,  and  their 
service,  raise  the  community  to  a  higher 
level  of  citizenship  than  it  otherwise  would 
attain.  Since  this  is  true,  the  province 
dare  not  depend  upon  securing  the  leader- 
ship so  necessary  to  its  welfare  from  those 
alone  who  are  able  financially  to  bear  the 
full  cost  of  higher  education.  Such  a 
policy  would  be  undemocratic  and  un- 
thinkable. 

The  hope  of  organized  society  is  in 
education.  Regardless  of  the  cost,  our 
citizens  must  be  educated.  Only  by 
education  can  the  safety  of  a  people  be 
insured  from  the  intrigues  of  the  dema- 
gogue. Economic  and  industrial  develop- 
ment, intellectual  and  spiritual  develop- 
ment are  dependent  upon  our  attitude 
toward  education.  The  better  educated 
the  citizens  of  Ontario  become  the  more 
rapid  will  be  the  development  of  the 
Province,  and  the  more  important  will 
be  the  contribution  of  its  people  to  the 
solution  of  the  problems  of  society. 

These  benefits  of  higher  education  are 
so  significant  and  so  fundamental  that  the 
tax-payers  of  Ontario,  to  the  limit  of  their 
resources,  must  meet  the  educational 
needs  by  providing  at  low  cost  the  highest 
types  of  technical,  professional,  and  cul- 
tural training  to  all  young  men  and  women 
who  desire  to  be  educated  and  who  are 
intellectually  able  to  maintain  high  stand- 
ards of  work. 

How  can  these  benefits  be  so  clearly 
brought  home  to  the  tax-payers  that  they 
will  provide  adequate  funds  to  defray  the 
expense?  This  can  be  done  only  by  the 
strenuous  and  united  efforts  of  all  persons 
who  appreciate  fully  the  value  of  education. 
The  task  is  difficult  and  never-ending. 
It  is  not  necessary  to  emphasize  the  great 
responsibility  which  falls  upon  graduates. 


Unselfish  lives  will  speak  louder  than 
words  in  winning  support  for  university 
education.  But  wise  leaders  must  devote 
much  time  in  planning  campaigns  for  the 
effective  dissemination  of  information 
which  tax-payers  must  have  if  they  are 
expected  to  develop  an  intelligent  and 
sympathetic  understanding  of  the  needs 
of  their  university. 

In  the  Mississipi  Valley  states,  many 
millions  of  dollars  are  being  spent  annually 
for  the  support  of  state  universities  and 
agricultural  colleges.  In  Michigan,  Iowa, 
Illinois,  Minnesota,  and  Wisconsin  alone 
more  than  $47,000,000  has  been  appro- 
priated for  the  biennium  1921-1923.  In 
these  states  various  methods  have  been 
adopted  to  keep  the  tax-payers  in  touch 
with  what  is  being  done  and  to  prepare 
them  to  co-operate  in  meeting  the  ever 
increasing  needs.  At  the  University  of 
Iowa,  where  the  enrolment  this  year  will 
exceed  6,000  students,  there  is  an  efficient 
Publicity  Bureau.  Press  bulletins  are 
sent  out  almost  daily  to  editors  and  to 
others  who  will  make  the  proper  use  of 
information.  Service  bulletins  are  widely 
distributed.  A  well  organized  Extension 
department  renders  many  different  kinds 
of  service  to  thousands  of  the  citizens  of 
the  state  who  are  not  able  to  come  to  the 
University.  Each  year  many  professors 
from  the  university  participate  in  the 
closing  exercises  of  the  high  schools,  and 
there  impress  upon  pupils  and  parents  the 
benefits  of  thorough  training  for  the  work 
of  life.  Appreciation  of  all  these  services 
wins  friends  for  higher  education. 

May  I  make  a  suggestion?  Might' it 
not  be  worth  while  for  a  well  chosen  com- 
mittee from  the  University  of  Toronto  to 
visit  several  of  the  state  universities  of  the 
Mississippi  Valley  to  study  the  methods 
there  being  used,  and  to  ascertain  whether 
or  not  any  of  these  methods  might  be  used 
to 'advantage  in  securing  additional  sup- 
port for  our  Alma  Mater? 


DOES  HIGHER  EDUCATION  PAY  THE  PROVINCE? 

By  S.  SILCOX,  '93 
PRINCIPAL  STRATFORD  NORMAL  SCHOOL 


The  pioneers  of  this  Province  fought 
and  won  the  battle  of  free  public  schools. 
The  secondary  schools  have  been  made 
practically  free  to  residents  of  the  munici- 


pality, building    and    maintaining    them. 

The  next  step  towards  the  goal  aimed 

at  by  the  pioneers  will  be  free  University 

education  for  everyone  showing  the  ability 


148 


UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO  MONTHLY 


to  profit  by  it.  The  only  condition  of 
admission  to  the  University  should  be 
proof  of  the  intelligence  necessary  to 
profit  by  the  course. 

This  principle  is  already  recognized  in 
many  educational  organizations  in  On- 
tario. There  is  the  Ontario  School  for 
the  Blind,  in  which  not  only  is  tuition 
free  but  board  and  lodging  are  supplied; 
so  is  the  Deaf  and  Dumb  School  at  Belle- 
ville. Mental  defectives  are  cared  for  by 
the  state.  In  all  our  training  schools  for 
teachers  there  are  no  fees,  though  each 
student  buys  his  own  books  and  pays  for 
his  board. 

Here  come  many  young  men  and  women 
with  superior  native  intelligence  who  want 
higher  education.  Their  only  handicap 
is  the  lack  of  means.  Why  should  this 
handicap  be  made  greater  by  high  fees? 

The  educated  man  or  woman  is  of  more 
value  to  the  State  than  to  himself.  True, 
he  earns  more  as  a  result  of  his  higher 
education,  but  is  not  this  earning  power 
a  measure  of  his  value  to  the  community? 


Indeed,  it  is  doubtful  if  there  is  a  possible 
money  value  for  an  educated  man's  work; 
certainly  not  when  it  has  a  high  moral 
value,  as  true  education  always  has.  My 
conclusion  is  that  the  state  should  provide 
higher  education  free. 

This,  however,  need  not  be  interpreted 
as  opposing  the  systematic  contribution 
of  the  graduate  to  his  University  after 
graduation.  It  would  be  of  inestimable 
value  to  the  graduate  and  to  the  University 
if  the  graduate  body  would  undertake  to 
provide  for  all  maintenance  expenses, 
leaving  only  capital  expenditure  to  be 
borne  by  the  state.  I  estimate  that  the 
annual  earning  power  of  the  graduates  of 
the  University  of  Toronto  is  1100,000,000. 
One  per  cent,  of  this  amount  would  furnish 
one  million  dollars  annually  which  would 
pay  the  cost  of  tuition  of  five  thousand 
students  at  the  rate  mentioned,  $216,  in 
Mr  Bone's  December  article.  In  assess- 
ing graduates  for  maintenance  a  sliding 
scale,  increasing  with  the  income,  would 
be  the  fairest  way. 


'OF  WHAT  VALUE  IS  A  UNIVERSITY  EDUCATION  TO  A  YOUNG  MAN 
ENTERING  INDUSTRIAL  OR  COMMERCIAL  LIFE?" 

By  CLARK  E.  LOCKE,  '11 
ADVERTISING  MANAGER,  THE  ROBERT  SIMPSON  COMPANY,  LTD. 


Granted  that  the  advisability  of  higher 
education  for  those  contemplating  busi- 
ness careers,  still  offers  meat  for  contro- 
versy, there  are  nevertheless  several  dis- 
tinct contributions  which  modern  industrial 
and  commercial  enterprises  expect  from  a 
college  graduate.  There  are  several  ways 
in  which  they  plan  to  turn  an  academic 
training  to  practical  account. 

Firstly,  there  is  expected  an  ability  to 
think  through  a  project  from  beginning  to 
end.  To  analyze  a  proposition  thoroughly 
and  present  a  carefully-considered  con- 
clusion. A  trained  mind,  they  argue,  is 
equipped  to  grasp  the  principles  and  yet 
regard  the  details;  to  consider  the  forest 
and  to  see  the  trees.  A  man  who  can 
produce  a  bomb-proof  proposition  is  an 
asset  to  an  institution. 

In  the  second  place,  the  University  man 
in  business  is  regarded  as  one  to  whom 
opportunity  means  responsibility.  Edu- 
cated to  bear  responsibility  successfully 
he  is  prepared  to  accept  it  with  confidence. 


He  brings  with  him  certain  ideals  of  service 
and  above  the  daily  routine,  sees  the  higher 
aims  and  broader  conceptions  of  an 
organization  take  shape. 

Further,  these  men  are  regarded  as 
"serviceable".  Studies  and  training  have 
equipped  them  to  work  independent  of 
circumstances.  They  are  adaptable. 
Their  abilities  can  be  directed  in  any 
desired  direction  to  produce  results. 

In  summary  it  may  be  said  that  business 
organizations  look  to  the  universities  to 
provide  men  who  will  develop  rapidly  into 
creative  executives.  Men  of  vision,  in- 
sight and  imagination;  "trained  to  right 
thinking  and  sound  judgment". 

But  their  is  one  proviso.  The  college 
man  is  expected  to  recognize  that  a 
practical  apprenticeship  is  essential.  A 
graduate  in  Arts  is  usually  a  freshman  in 
business. 

His  second  graduation  cannot  be  avoided. 
It  may  come  rapidly  it's  true,  but  it  must 
come  surely. 


Graduate  Organizations  in  the  University  of  Toronto— HI

Very  soon  there  are  announcements  in  the  Walker,  A.  H.  U.  Colquhoun,  H.  J.  Cody, 
Press  that  the  Government  is  to  take  up  and  D.  Bruce  Macdonald.  These  dis- 
University  matters,  and  discussions  of  tinguished  gentlemen  held  seventy-seven 
these  are  opened. 
On  May  17  a  University  Bill 
under  the  care  of  the  Premier 
himself  received  its  first  reading. 
In  his  speech  Mr  Whitney  ex- 
plained that  five  or  six  years 
ago  he  had  taken  the  stand 
that  the  University  should  with- 
out delay  be  put  on  a  proper 
financial  basis  and  that  Queen's 
also  should  be  treated  with  due 
consideration.  Since  that  time 
his  own  party  had  approved 
his  stand,  and  recently  at  the 
last  election  the  approbation  of 
the  people  had  been  unmis- 
takably pronounced.  He  was, 
therefore,  now  merely  fulfilling 
the  pledges  so  often  made  and 
confirmed.  The  present  Bill, 
however,  only  went  so  far  as  to 
pay  deficits  and  finish"  the  con- 
struction of  buildings  already 
under  way  or  promised,  such 
as  Convocation  Hall,  the  Physics 
Laboratory,  etc.  The  Bill  pro- 
vided for  the  financing  of  these 
projects  and  involved  an  expen- 
diture of  something  like  $745,000 
In  addition,  however,  the  Pre- 
mier promised  ~that  during  the 
recess  the  Government  would

ation  of  the  University  and

sen  ting  the  Faculties,  Senates,  etc.,  of 
Canadian  Institutions  of  Learning  waited 
on  the  Commission  with  their  suggestions 
and  in  addition  to  these  the  representatives 
of  the  following  graduate  and  under- 
graduate groups:  The  Convocation  of 
Trinity  College,  The  Alumnae  Association  of 
the  Ontario  Medical  College  for  Women, 
University  of  Toronto  Alumni  Association, 
The  University  Club  of  Ottawa,  Guelph 
Alumni  Association,  Algoma  Alum.ni  Asso- 
ciation, University  of  Toronto  Club  of  New 
York,  The  High  School  Teachers,  and  the 
Athletic  Directorate  of  the  University  of 
Toronto.  This  regular  consultation  by 
the  Commission  of  these  heretofore  silent 
partners  in  the  University  mechanism  was 
a  valuable  innovation  due  to  the  influence 
of  the  Alumni  Association,  and  must  be 
set  down  to  its  credit. 

The  report  of  the  Commission  contained 
a  number  of  recommendations  respecting 
the  structure  and  management  of  the 
University  and  these  formed  the  basis  for 
a  Draft  Bill  which  was  in  substance  ac- 
cepted by  the  Government  and  was  in  due 
time  passed,  with  no  great  opposition,  by 
Parliament  as  The  University  Act  of  19C6. 
The  changes  made  in  the  University  were 
comprehensive  and  some  were  of  a  radical 
character.  Such  were  the  clearer  defini- 
tion and  extension  of  the  powers  of  the 
President,  the  establishment  of  a  Board  of 
Governors  to  which  the  Government  of 
the  Province  should  pass  over  the  complete 
control,  even  without  veto,  of  the  Uni- 
versity's affairs,  and  particularly  the  crea- 
tion of  a  new  system  of  financing  which 
should  yield  more  certain  and  abundant 
resul'ts. 

There  was  some  discussion  over  the 
powers  and  manner  of  choice  of  the  Board 
of  Governors.  Some  thought  the  Govern- 
ment should  retain  the  right  of  veto. 
Some  thought  there  should  be  a  certain 
proportion  of  representatives  of  the  alumni 
on  the  Board  of  Governors.  After  dis- 
cussion the  view  prevailed  that  the  final 
authority  of  the  Government  would  be 
best  secured  by  leaving  in  its  hands  the 
appointment  of  all  members  of  the  Board 
without  retaining  any  right  of  veto.  The 
plan  adopted  has  worked  well  and  one 
may  doubt  whether  the  complications  of 
popular  elections,  vetoes,  etc.,  would  have 
improved  the  situation  in  any  respect. 

The  clauses  governing  finance  were  of  a 


very  radical  nature  and  are  well  worth 
a  moment's  attention.  Clause  140-(1), 
in  the  original  numbering  of  the  Act,,  says: 
"For  the  purpose  of  making  provision  for 
the  maintenance  and  support  of  the  Uni- 
versity and  of  University  College,  there 
shall  be  paid  to  the  Board  out  of  the  Con- 
solidated Revenue  of  the  Province  yearly 
and  every  year  a  sum  equal  to  fifty  per 
centum  of  the  average  yearly  gross  re- 
ceipts of  the  Province  from  succession 
duties."  The  importance  of  this  clause 
cannot  be  over  estimated  for  it  constituted 
a  reversal  of  the  policy  pursued  up  to  this 
time  in  regard  to  University  finance. 
Hitherto  the  prevalent  doctrine  was  that 
in  1828  the  University  had  received 
through  royal  bounty  half  a  million  acres 
of  land  as  a  permanent  endowm.ent  and 
that  this  should  be  sufficient  for  all  its 
needs  for  all  -time.  For  instance,  the 
Hon.  Edward  Blake  at  page  three  in  the 
Report  on  Revenues  and  Requirements, 
dated  April  13,  1891,  says,  "  It  thus  appears 
that  the  resources  of  the  University,  apart 
from  the  value  of  the  lands  and  buildings 
reserved  for  the  purposes  of  the  institution, 
are  so  large  as  to  put  its  future,  under  wise 
and  prudent  administration,  beyond  all 
doubt  in  question ;  and  to  enable  it  by  the 
realization  of  its  assets  to  increase  its 
efficiency."  This  unequivocal  statement 
was  written  four  years  after  federation  was 
*  adopted,  when  everybody  knew  that  in- 
creased expenditure  must  take  place  and 
certainly  Mr  Blake  reflected  quite  truly 
the  average  governmental  opinion  of  the 
time. 

Again  when  we  look  at  the  legislation 
of  1897  we  see  that  the  Government  of  the 
Province  does  not  admit  that  the  Uni- 
versity has  any  claim  to  an  additional 
income  from  the  Consolidated  Revenue. 
In  that  year  some  addition  was  made  to 
the  resources  of  the  University,  viz.,  (a) 
six  townships  of  six  miles  square  of  the 
Crown  Lands  and  (b)  $7,000  annually  out 
of  the  Consolidated  Revenue,  but  on  the 
distinct  understanding  that  these  two 
items  were  given  to  quiet  claims  made  by 
the  University  that  the  grants  of  land 
really  made  in  early  times  were  less  by 
138,4241  acres  than  the  Crown  had 


1  Note  that  6  townships  contain  6x6x6x640  or 
r  8,240  acres;  so  that  the  University  was  184  acres 
short  on  the  deal.

intended,  and  that  the  University  was 
entitled  to  interest  at  six  per  cent,  on  the 
value  of  the  land  expropriated  by  the 
Province  in  the  University  Park,  for  the 
new  Parliament  Buildings  (see  Varsity, 
January  21,  1888,  p.  105).  With  respect 
to  the  $7,000  given  as  interest  on  the  value 
of  the  site  of  the  Parliament  Buildings 
there  is  a  condition  attached,  viz.,  that 
the  money  was  to  be  spent  in  making 
better  provision  for  instruction  in  Miner- 
alogy, Geology,  and  kindred  subjects. 

The  Act  of  1901  is  also  interesting  in 
this  connection,  for  it  provided  that  the 
financial  aid  given  at  that  time  amounting 
to  some  $25,000  was  for  the  purpose  of 
encouraging  the  study  of  the  mineral  and 
other  natural  resources  of  the  Province,  and 
was  to  be  devoted  solely  to  the  payment  of 
salaries  and  maintenance  in  the  depart- 
ments of  Chemistry,  Physics,  Mineralogy, 
and  Geology. 

From  a  consideration  of  these  and  other 
documents  it  would  seem  pretty  clear  that 
there  had  been  developed  since  1867  a 
theoretical  system,  of  greater  or  less 
coherence,  regarding  University  finance  by 
which  the  Government  was  guided,  and 
often  hampered,  particularly  subsequently 
to  1887  when  the  numbers  of  students  and 
the  options  o'f  the  curriculum  were  much 
increased.  Stated  briefly,  the  following 
were  the  chief  points  in  this  body  of  doc- 
trine: The  University  has  a  sufficient 
endowment;  this  endowment  must  not  be 
divided  with  denominational  colleges;  nor 
with  medical  or  other  professional  schools; 
schools  of  science,  pure  and  applied, 
should  receive  special  government  grants. 
Persons  of  a  later  generation  should  not 
be  too  critical  of  the  governments  which 
filled  the  space  between  1867  and  1906. 
These  lived  and  acted  in  harmony  with 
views  which  had  their  origin  in  disputes 
and  discussions  of  a  somewhat  remote  past, 
and  which  were  held  by  the  majority  of 
the  people.  They  may  seem  strange  now 
to  some,  but  there  was  nothing  remarkable 
or  reprehensible  in  Governments  being 
true  to  these  views  during  the  forty  year 
period  of  which  we  are  speaking.  But 
the  time  arrived  when  the  expansion  of  the 
University  became  imperative.  The  Al- 
umni Association  expressed  the  needs 
of  higher  education  with  insistence,  and 
Mr  Whitney,  coming  into  power  with  an 
overwhelming  majority  in  1905,  was  given 


a  mandate  to  do  radical  things  which 
might  have  been  refused  if  the  previous 
discussion  had  not  been  energetic  and 
prolonged. 

The  relief  given  the  University  by  Mr 
Whitney  was  very  great,  the  period  follow- 
ing upon  1906  was  one  of  expansion  and 
progress,  and  naturally  the  activity  of  the 
Alumni  Association  was  less  intense.  The 
passing  of  the  Act  of  1906  and  its  coming 
into  force  on  June  15,  were  coincident  with 
some  important  changes  in  the  officials 
of  the  University.  The  Board  of  Govern- 
ors, consisting  of  eighteen  prominent 
gentlemen  appointed  by  the  Government 
in  addition  to  the  Chancellor  and  President, 
assumed  full  control.  On  July  13,  James 
Loudon  retired  .from  the  Presidency 
although  he  remained  for  a  year  or  two 
as  Honorary  President  of  the  Alumni 
Association.  He  had  been  a  member  of 
the  Staff  for  forty-two  years,  of  which 
time  he  had  been  President  for  fourteen 
years.  He  spent  his  remaining  years  in 
Toronto  and  died  December  29,  1916. 
On  President  Loudon's  resignation  the 
Governors  appointed  Maurice  Hutton, 
Principal  of  University  College  as  Presi- 
dent pro  tern.,  and  in  1907  chose  the  present 
scholarly  incumbent  of  the  office,  Sir 
Robert  Falconer.  He  was  formally  in- 
stalled as  President  on  September  26. 
The  installation  was  a  brilliant  affair,  and 
a  notable  part  of  it  was  the  opening  of  the 
Physics  Laboratory  by  the  Lieutenant 
Governor,  Sir  Mortimer  Clark.  Thus 
was  completed  what  might  be  called  the 
building  programme  of  the  Alumni  Asso- 
ciation formulated  in  1904. 

The  activities  of  the  Association  were 
less  energetic  for  some  time,  for  the  chief 
objectives  had  been  attained.  •  But  it 
lived  and  prospered  and  helped  to  keep 
alive  in  the  hearts  of  graduates,  knowledge 
of,  and  affection  for,  their  alma  mater. 
The  offices  were  maintained,  and  its 
journal  THE  MONTHLY  went  on.  As 
early  as  November  1903,  attention  had 
been  turned  to  the  great  need  of  a  complete 
Register  of  graduates  and  throughout  the 
intervening  years  down  to  the  oresent,  a 
bureau  of  University  archives  nas  been 
maintained  for  which  the  Alumni  Asso- 
ciation deserves  some  of  the  credit,  although 
the  archives  form  a  part  of  the  Registrar's 
Office.  The  Association  has  been  re- 
markably well  served  by  its  officials,  such

as  President,  Secretary  and  Editor.  The 
much  beloved  R.  A.  Reeve,  (stricken  by 
death  while  in  Alumni  service,  January 
27,  1919)  remained  President  from  1900 
to  1907.  He  was  succeeded  by  I.  H. 
Cameron,  a  gentleman  to  whom  the 
Association  owes  much,  who  held  the  post 
for  a  year.  Mr  Barlow  Cumberland 
(B.A.  1867)  was  President  during  1908, 
and  during  the  period  1909-1911,  one  of  the 
University's  staunchest  friends  and  most 
distinguished  sons,  Sir  John  Gibson,  (B.A. 
1863)  filled  the  position.  He  was  succeed- 
ed for  the  year  1912  by  the  zealous  and 
vigorous  Dr  A.  B.  Macallum  (B.A.  1880) 
and  he  was  followed  for  three  years, 
1913-1916,  by  the  real  founder  of  the 
Association,  Dr  J.  C.  McLennan.  In  1917 
His  Honour  Mr  Justice  Masten  (B.A.  1879) 
was  chosen  and  has  filled  the  position  most 
faithfully  and  wisely  down  to  the  present. 
In  the  Secretary's  office  as  well  as  in  the 
Editor's  office  the  Association  has  enjoyed 
the  faithful  services  of  a  group  of  self- 
denying  men  of  whom  we  cannot  stop  to 
speak  at  present,  except  to  mention  such 
as  E.  J.  Kylie  and  G.  S.  Stevenson,  former 
editors,  now  deceased. 

One  of  the  things  done  during  this 
period  was  to  restore  the  memorial  window, 
which  had  been  made  in  honour  of  the 
three  undergraduates  who  were  killed  at 
the  battle  of  Ridgeway  on  June  2,  1866. 
The  first  window  had  decorated  old 
Convocation  Hall  (the  northern  portion 
of  the  east  wing  of  University  College) 
and  was  destroyed  in  the  great  fire  of 
February,  1890.  In  1908  a  committee  was 
appointed  by  the  Alumni  Association  to 
raise  money  and  have  the  new  window 
made  and  on  June  20,  1910,  it  was  un- 
veiled by  Sir  John  Gibson,  President  of 
the  Alumni  Association,  in  the  presence  of 
a  large  and  distinguished  company  of 
people,  in  the  East  Hall  of  University 
College,  where  it  is  still  to  be  seen. 

The  life  of  the  Alumni  Association, 
however,  remained  sluggish,  although  the 
University  itself  was  expanding  in  student 
attendance,  in  new  buildings,  and  the  like. 
And  we  find  in  the  records  of  meetings  that 
suggestions  of  various  kinds  are  made  to 
give  the  Association  greater  vitality.  For 
instance  at  the  annual  meeting  of  1913  the 
Executive  Committee  complained  that 
attendance  at  meetings  and  subscriptions 
had  diminished.  The  Report  also  says 


that  conferences  had  been  held  with  the 
President  of  the  University  and  the  Chair- 
man of  the  Board  of  Governors,  but 
that  no  plan  had  been  matured  for  help- 
ing the  Association.  Visits,  however,  to 
alumni  in  various  parts  of  Canada  con- 
tinued to  be  made  by  the  President  of  the 
University  and  officials  of  the  Association. 
But  not  much  more  than  marking  time 
was  being  done. 

At  the  meeting  held  on  June  4,  1914,  it 
was  reported  that  the  Chicago  Branch  of 
the  Association  had  been  especially  active 
and  had  increased  its  membership  in  a 
satisfactory  way.  It  was  also  reported 
that  the  Board  of  Governors  had  con- 
sented to  pay  $500  a  year  for  the  work  that 
the  Association  was  doing  in  gathering 
information  regarding  the  Alumni.  This 
seems  to  have  been  the  beginning  of  a 
new  policy,  i.e.,  of  making  the  Alumni 
Association  a  real  branch  of  University 
machinery.  A  certain  feeling  of  regret 
was  manifested  that  the  Alumni  had  not 
responded  more  liberally  to  the  demands 
of  the  Association. 

In  August  1914  the  Great  War  began, 
and  the  Alumni  of  the  University  were 
henceforth  for  over  four  years  -to  be  very 
busy  with  things  related  thereto.  Re- 
cruiting was  actively  carried  on,  and  caring 
for  those  in  the  trenches  and  hospitals 
demanded  attention.  But  the  Association 
maintained  its  ordinary  forms  of  activity. 
At  the  annual  meeting  held  on  May  18, 
1916,  the  Executive  reported  that  it  was 
busily  occupied  with  promoting  a  scheme 
for  establishing  Alumni  Fellowships.  ^  It 
also  asked  authorization  for  the  appoint- 
ment by  the  Governors  of  the  University 
of  an  organizing  secretary  and  at  the 
meeting  held  on  May  17,  1917,  the  Presi- 
dent, Mr  Justice  Masten,  was  able  to 
report  that  Dr  A.  H.  Abbott  had  been 
appointed  to  this  position.  But  Dr 
Abbott's  assistance  had  been  demanded 
by  the  Provincial  Government,  and  he 
had  been  able  to  do  very  little  for  the 
Association.  It  was  also  reported  that 
greater  attention  than  ever  was  now  being 
paid  to  the  collection  of  information  about 
Alumni. 

At  the  meeting  held  on  June  6,  1918,  it 
was  reported  that  Dr  Abbott's  time  had 
been  completely  taken  up  by  his  war  work, 
and  so  nothing  had  been  done  by  him  in 
the  way  of  organizing.  Hence  it  was 


UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO  MONTHLY

necessary  to  find  another  secretary  and 
the  Executive  was  authorized  to  make  a 
new  appointment.  A  month  or  .two  later 
(in  September)  the  present  Secretary,  Mr 
W.  N.  MacQueen  (B.A.  1912)  was  engaged 
and  entered  upon  his  duties. 

At  the  meeting  held  on  June  5,  1919, 
the  Executive  reported  that  after  the 
Armistice  of  November  11,  1918,  on 
December  12,  a  large  meeting  of  graduates, 
at  which  a  dinner  was  given,  had  been  held. 
It  was  decided  to  appoint  a  Memorial 
Committee  to  establish  a  material  memor- 
ial as  well  as  scholarships  in  honour  of 
the  many  sons  of  the  University  who  fell 
in  the  war.  This  Committee  went  actively 
to  work.  It  was  also  reported  that  early 
in  February,  1919,  a  Bureau  of  Appoint- 
ments had  been  established  to  assist 
returned  members  of  the  University  in 
finding  suitable  employment.  This  com- 
mittee was  also  most  energetically  em- 
ployed and  did  much  good.  A  Constitu- 
tion Committee  was  appointed  at  this 
meeting  to  consider  necessary  changes  in 
the  Constitution  and  report-  next  year. 

At  the  meeting  held  on  June  3,  1920,  it 
was  reported  that  a  total  of  $308,275.23 
had  been  raised  for  Memorial  purposes. 
Out  of  this  money  a  Loan  Fund  had  been 
set  aside  for  the  relief  of  returned  men,  and 
the  Scholarship  Board  had  been  authorized 
to  conduct  this  part  of  the  business  as 
early  as  March  21,  1919.  At  this  meeting 
important  changes  were  made  in  the 
Constitution,  the  chief  of  which  were 
provision  for  an  Alumni  Council,  as  well 
as  for  a  Board  of  Directors.  It  was  also 
resolved  to  ask  for  Incorporation  under  the 
Provincial  statutes.  By  virtue  of  these 
changes  the  Association  has  become  a 
Federation  of  the  various  groups  of  gradu- 
ates and  undergraduates  in  all  the  Facul- 
ties of  the  University  with  power  to  trans- 
act business  in  a  regular  way. 

During  the  year  just  past,  a  number 
of  steps  have  been  taken  to  bring  these 
important  changes  into  operation.  At 
page  11  of  the  October  number  of  THE 
MONTHLY  will  be  seen  the  report  of  the 
proceedings  at  the  annual  meeting  held 
June  9.  At  page  70  in  the  November 
number  it  is  announced  that  the  graduates 
of  Victoria  were  organized  at  an  Alumni 
dinner  on  the  eightieth  anniversary  of  the 
granting  of  the  Royal  Charter  to  Victoria 
University.  At  page  113  in  the  December 


number  it  is  announced  that  the  graduates 
of  University  College  have  been  organized. 
At  page  109  of  the  same  number  it  is 
announced  that  on  November  11  a  general 
meeting  of  Alumni  was  held  to  complete 
the  re-organization  of  the  University  of 
Toronto  Alumni  Association  and  to  approve 
of  the  transfer  of  the  assets  and  affairs 
of  the  Association  to  the  Alumni  Federation 
of  the  University  of  Toronto. 

This  closes  the  history  of  the  Association 
as  it  originally  was  organized,  but  a  word 
or  two  should  be  said  regarding  the  general 
University  situation  as  it  now  stands. 
From  an  article  entitled  "  Succession  Duties 
and  University  Finance"  by  Sir  Edmund 
Walker,  Chairman  of  the  Board  of  Govern- 
ors, which  appears  at  page  9  in  the  October 
number  (1921)  of  THE  MONTHLY  we  learn 
that  at  the  1914  session  of  the  Legislature 
a  very  important  change  was  made  in  the 
University  Act  by  which  the  amount  of 
succession  duties  payable  to  the  University 
was  limited  to  $500,000  per  annum.  The 
result  of  this  amendment  has  been  to 
prevent  expansion  and  embarrass  the 
University.  And  so  acute.has  the  situation 
become  that  the  Government  on  October 
27,  1920,  appointed  a  Royal  Commission 
consisting  of  H.  J.  Cody,  J.  S.  Willison, 
J.  Alex.  Wallace,  T.  A.  Russell,  A.  P. 
Deroche,  and  C.  R.  Somerville  to  consider 
the  whole  University  question.  The  Com- 
mission reported  on  February  10,  1921, 
and  recommended  that  the  percentage 
(50  p.c.)  of  succession  duties  fixed  in  the 
Act  of  1906  be  restored,  and  that,  if  this 
be  found  insufficient,  additional  taxes  be 
levied  for  University  purposes.  The  Gov- 
ernment has,  however,  postponed  the 
settlement  of  the  question. 

Thus  does  history  repeat  itself.  The 
University  stands  again  with  anxious  eyes 
turned  to  the  future.  As  President  Fal- 
coner points  out  in  the  article  "The  Need 
of  the  Hour"  (p.  57,  MONTHLY,  November 
1921)  "the  University  of  Toronto  requires 
trie  help  of  its  Alumni  and  Alumnae  more, 
perhaps,  than  ever  before  in  its  history." 
A  strong  Alumni  Association  is  needed,  and 
a  devoted  spirit  of  affection  strong  enough 
not  only  to  urge  on  public  bodies  that  they 
should  do  their  duty,  but  strong  enough 
to  put  it  into  the  hearts  of  the  Alumni  to 
give  something  tangible  themselves  to  the 
University  which  they  have  never  helped 
as  they  ought  to  have  done. 


Graduate  Studies  Show  Promising  Development 

ONE  HUNDRED  AND  EIGHTY-EIGHT  ENROLLED 
THIS  SESSION 


WHEN  Johns  Hopkins  University  was 
established  in  1876,  it  created  a 
new  ideal  for  universities  on  this 
continent.  From  its  very  initiation  its 
avowed  attention  was  to  make  graduate 
work  its  chief  concern.  As  a  result,  other 
leading  institutions  made  steps  to  realize 
that  ideal,  and  now  all  the  greater  univer- 
sities of  the  United  States  have  well 
organized  and  well  equipped  graduate 
faculties.  In  many  cases  the  teachers 
upon  their  staffs  are  able  to  devote  their 
entire  time  to  research  and  to  their  gradu- 
ate students  who  are  being  trained  to 
become  independent  research  workers. 

Owing  to  lack  of  sufficient  funds,  the 
University  of  Toronto  has  not  as  yet  follow- 
ed the  lead  of  these  American  Universities. 
It  does  not  possess  a  separate  graduate 
faculty.  What  it  does  possess  is  a  Board 
ofjji'flduate  Studies,  which  was  established 
iif  1909yn  recognition  of  the  demand  for 
aoVftftCea  instruction,  and  to  encourage 
and  organize  graduate  study.  As  Sir 
Robert  Falconer  pointed  out  in  his  state- 
ment to  the  University  Commission  last 
year,  the  Board  of  Graduate  Studies  is  a 
nucleus  from  which  eventually  a  success- 
ful graduate  faculty  may  be  developed. 

The  growth  of  these  graduate  courses  is 
proof  enough  of  their  need  and  of  their 
value.  From  their  inception  in  1909  they 
steadily  expanded  until  in  1917-1918  there 
were  73  students;  in  1920-1921,  163;  and 
in  the  present  session  there  are  already 
188  in  attendance  although  registration  is 
not  yet  complete.  Of  these  the  larger 
number  are  registered  for  the  M.A.  degree, 
while  there  are  44  or  about  14  per  cent,  of 
the  total  number,  studying  for  the  Ph.D. 
degree.  It  is  expected  that  there  will  be 
three  candidates  for  the  M.D.  degree. 

The  junior  members  of  the  staff  are 
quick  to  realize  the  importance  of  advanced 
training  and  to  avail  themselves  of  the 
opportunities  offered  by  the  University 
of  Toronto  to  indulge  in  research  work. 
There  are  this  year  seventy  members  of 
the  staff  registered  for  graduate  work. 

The  candidates  for  the  various  courses 
are  chiefly  Canadians.  Among  the  fifteen 


or  more  universities  represented  this  session 
are  Dalhousie  and  St  Francois  Zavier  in 
NovaScotia;  Mount  Alison,  N.B.;  McGill, 
Queen's,  Toronto,  McMaster,  Manitoba, 
Saskatchewan,  and  British  Columbia  in 
the  remaining  Canadian  provinces;  and 
Columbia,  Cambridge,  Cork;  and  St. 
Petersburg,  Russia. 

Of  the  four  fellowships  granted  this 
year,  which  include  the  two  McKenzie 
and  two  open  fellowships,  one  went  to 
a  candidate  from  British  Columbia,  one 
from  Dalhousie,  one  from  Saskatchewan, 
and  one  from  Toronto. 

The  graduate  work  at  the  University  is 
not  merely  a  continuation  of  undergraduate 
studies.  It  consists  of  highly  specialized 
and  original  work,  for  which  the  regular 
four  years'  course  leading  to  the  B.A. 
degree  simply  provides  a  general  back- 
ground. The  three  degrees  offered  by  the 
Department  of  Graduate  Studies  are  M.A., 
Ph.D.,  and  M.D.  The  training  for  each 
of  these  covers  one,  two,  three  or  more 
years  and  usually  includes  a  special  course 
of  study  for  which  the  candidate  is  particu- 
larly fitted,  and  a  thesis  containing  the 
results  of  this  special  study.  It  may  also 
include  some  minor  courses,  which  bear 
a  relation  to  the  major  course.  In  the 
pure  Arts  courses,  especially,  critical  analy- 
sis is  emphasized  almost  as  much  as  inde- 
pendent research,  but  in  the  scientific 
courses  the  big  thing  is  research.  For  the 
Ph.D.  degree  the  thesis  is  particularly  im- 
portant as  it  embodies  the  result  of  a  wholly 
original  investigation  on  some  topic  in 
the  major  course  approved  by  the  depart- 
ment in  which  the  candidate  is  applying 
for  the  degree. 

The  steady  growth  of  advanced  work 
in  the  Provincial  University  is  a  promising 
sign.  To  develop  graduate  courses  in 
Canadian  Universities  is  to  offset  the 
steady  drain  of  other  countries  on  the  best 
brains  of  the  Dominion.  It  is  devoutly 
to  be  hoped  that  ere  long  the  University 
of  Toronto  may  be  so  equipped  for  graduate 
work  that  no  Canadian  will  find  it  necessary 
to  go  abroad  for  advanced  university  work.

The  Gull  Lake  Survey  Camp 

By  J.  W.  MELSON,  LECTURER  IN  SURVEYING 


"  pADDLES  up  Spike,"   came  a  voice 

1        from   the   stern    of    the    Peterboro 

canoe  as  she  came  around  the  bend 

at  the  head  of  a  swift  bit  of  river,  "these 

balsams  look  to  me  like  the  makings  of  a 

pretty  good  bed." 

"Righto,  your  honour.  I'm  agreeable. 
By  this  time  to-morrow  we  ought  to  make 
Varsity  Bay  if  this  map  and  my  judgment 
are  at  all  reliable." 

Conversation  similar  to  the  above  is 
to  be  heard  on  about  the  nineteenth  or 
twenty-ninth  of  August,  along  the  canoe 
route  from  Bobcaygeon  to  Haliburton  at 
a  point  about  one  day's  paddle  from  the 
Gull  Lake  Surveying  Camp. 

In  this  camp  our  students  in  Civil  and 
Mining  Engineering  get  their  Third  Year 
field  work  in  Surveying  for  six  weeks  and 
a  month  respectively.  The  Haliburton 
division  of  the  Grand  Trunk  Railway  from 
Lindsay  north  is  the  recognized  route  into 


this  country  but  the  old  canoe  route  is 
still  the  choice  of  some  students  who 
prefer  that  means  of  travel  and  also  wish 
to  have  their  canoes  by  them  during  the 
stay  in  camp. 

Students  in  Civil  Engineering  are  re- 
quested to  report  at  Gelert  on  the  Railway 
on  August  20,  whence  to  travel  by 
,  stage  eight  miles  to  Minden  on  the  Gull 
River  and  then,  in  a  scow  towed  by  a 
steamboat,  five  miles  down  the  river  and 
around  the  shore  of  Gull  Lake  to  the 
University  Camp.  Students  in  Mining 
Engineering  are  expected  to  do  likewise  on 
September  first;  all  to  remain  in  camp  till 
the  Fall  term  opens  in  Toronto. 

As  recently  as  1919  all  the  Surveying 
Field  Work  was  done — i.e.,  what  could  be 
done  was  attempted— in  the  University 
Grounds  at  Toronto,  but  as  this  had  always 
seemed  but  a  weak  imitation  of  w^hat 
practical  Surveying  should  be,  it  was

UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO  MONTHLY 


resolved  by  the  staff  in  Surveying  that 
a  camp  should  be  located  somewhere  in 
the  country  far  from  the  inconveniences 
of  the  crowded  city  where  the  man  behind 
the  telescope  could  be  given  a  chance  to 
open  out  and  use  the  instrument  as  it  was 
intended  it  should  be  used  and  not  tie 
it  down  to  toy  railway  lines  and  imaginary 
power  sites.  But  the  trouble  was  not 
all  with  the  riverless  bridge-building,  the 
quantity  of  the  work  was  affected  as  much 
as  the  quality.  Could  a  student  be 
expected  to  produce  results  with  eighty 
per  cent,  of  his  time-table  taken  up  with 
other  studies  and  his  chances  for  slipping 
down  town  of  an  afternoon  so  easy?  And, 
moreover,  with  co-education  in  full  swing, 
why  is  a  telescope  anyway,  and  is  it 
reasonable  that  a  steel  tape  should  always 
lie  flat  on  the  side-walk? 

The  outcome  of  all  this  was  a  scouring 
of  the  north  country  by  Professor  L.  B. 
Stewart  and  Mr  Banting  in  search  of  a 
territory  where  many  varieties  of  survey 
work  could  best  be  conducted.  An  eighty- 
acre  lot  was  purchased  on  the  north  shore 
of  Gull  Lake  in  Haliburton  between  the 
points  where  the  Gull  River  glides  in  and 
where  Rackety  Creek  lowers  its  foaming 
waters,  a  hundred  feet  in  400  yards,  from 
the  Bob  Lakes. 

As  well  as  the  actual  University  property, 
students  have  the  run  of  the  roads  and 
lake  shores  in  the  neighbourhood.  This 
expanded  area  gives  opportunities  for 
long-distance  work  such  as  Secondary 
Triangulation,  Camera  Survey,  Differen- 
tial Levelling,  Stadia  Traverses,  Shore 
Line  Surveys  and  Highway  Improvement 
Surveys. 

One  of  the  illustrations  shows  a  party 
on  a  triangulation  station  known  as 
"Sammy's  Peak"  from  which  angles  are 
measured  on  other  stations  with  all  the 
precision  of  which  a  small  transit  instru- 
ment is  capable.  Here  the  camera  was 
pointing  southward  showing  the  east  side 
of  the  Lake.  High,  well-wooded,  rocky 
shores  and  deep  water  are  its  chief  features. 

There  is  one  stretch  of  beach,  however, 
quite  close  to  the  University  .which  is 
admirably  suited  to  Base  Line  Measure- 
ment. Hairs  are  split  about  as  finely  on 
this  linear  measurement  as  they  are  on  the 
anglar  measurement  of  the  triangles. 

Hydrographic  work  is  done  in  the  Uni- 
versity Bay  such  as  water  lot  surveys 


and  spot  soundings,  and  up  Gull  River 
where  the  amount  of  flow  is  measured. 
The  illustration  shows  a  party  in  the  act. 
Hanging  from  a  cable  they  have  sounded 
the  river  from  bank  to  bank  and  are  now 
going  over  the  course  again  with  the  cur- 
rent meter  measuring  the  speed  of  the 
stream  as  it  varies  from  one  side  to  the 
other.  It  is  proposed  to  use  the  basin 
of  Rackety  Creek  as  the  site  of  a  hydro- 
electric power  development  scheme  next 
year,  its  condition  being  ideal  for  such 
work. 

Within  the  area  of  the  University  Lot, 
such  standard  surveys  as,  Stadia  Topo- 
graphical, Micrometer,  Boundary  Line 
Traverse,  Mine  Surveys,  Railway  Cross 
Sections,  and  Spiral  Curves,  etc.,  are  run. 
The  Railways  are  now  full  sized  and  the 
vertical  lines  in  the  Mine  Survey  run  down 
the  cliffs  at  the  foot  of  Varsity  hill  which 
rises  150  feet  above  the  Lake  instead  of 
down  between  the  steps  in  the  Old  Red 
School.  These  cliffs  hang  over  about 
seven  feet.  Toward  the  end  of  the  season 
the  astronomic  work  is  done.  "Altair" 
and  "Alpha  Lyrae"  make  ideal  time  stars 
and  of  course  Polaris  is  unfailing  for 
Azimuth  work. 

To  encourage  the  beginners  in  Astro- 
nomical work  a  "Latitude  with  Sextant" 
observation  is  taken  from  the  sand  close 
to  the  Lake,  using  the  real  horizon  of  the 
Lake  as  a  reference  line  and  sighting  the 
sun.  This  is  the  time-honoured  nautical 
observation  and  serves  to  show  students 
that  Astronomy  may  not  be  so  difficult 
after  all. 

Serious  work  is  done  at  Gull  Lake  from 
nine  to  five,  including  drafting  of  work 
that  is  done  simultaneously  in  the  field. 
Of  the  four  University  buildings,  the  main 
building  is  the  one  shown  in  the  illustration 
which  contains  one  large  and  four  small 
rooms,  used  for  lecturing  and  drafting 
principally,  but  also  used  as  studies  in  the 
evenings  and  as  storage  for  the  instru- 
mental equipment. 

But  all  is  not  taken  seriously  at  camp 
and  the  student  is  not  overburdened  with 
toil.  After  5  o'clock  he  indulges  himself 
in  all  the  varieties  of  amusement  that  offer. 
Generally  it  is  a  swim  and  dive  first.  At 
the  diving  ladder  on  the  point,  all  heights 
from  two  feet  to  eighteen  can  be  taken 
into  fifteen  feet  of  water  and  within  a 
few  feet  of  the  shore  at  that.  Eating  is

not  one  of  the  least  interesting  pastimes 
to  which  the  boys  are  given.  The  one 
and  only  call  is  invariably  followed  by  a 
stampede.  After  supper  the  evening  may 
be  spent  at  baseball  on  the  clearing  in  the 
middle  of  the  lot,  for  this  place  is  an 
abandoned  farm,  or  in  punt-racing,  pro- 
viding the  season  is  early  and  the  days  long. 
Should  the  evening  be  dark,  then  roll  a 
few  logs  together  and  tune  the  cigar-box 
banjo.  This  said  banjo  is  not  such  a 
musical  horror  as  might  be  supposed, 
especially  when  the  full  chorus  tries  to 
drown  it  out.  In  fact,  on  a  still  evening 
the  effect  of  the  bon-fire  and  the  chorus 
is  very  pleasing. 

When  the  above  pleasures  fail  to  draw 
the  man,  then  he  may  be  certain  to  find 
just  the  proper  weight  of  fiction  or  animal 
story  in  the  Gull  Lake  Branch  of  the 
University  Library  consisting  of  some 
hundred  books.  What  a  homelike  place 
is  that  bunk-house  with  its  eighty  beds! 
Here  are  boys  playing  cards,  there  is  a 
group  known  as  the  "Calculi"  grinding 
for  a  supplemental,  and  everywhere  else 
are  the  individuals  each  in  his  own  setting 
of  undress  comfort. 

The  drinking  water  is  taken  from  a 
spring  on  the  grounds.  A  pumping  station 
supplies  the  buildings  with  water. 

Besides  the  main  building,  bunk  house, 
and  dining-room-kitchen,  there  is  the 
staff  cottage,  containing  offices  for  the  fac- 
ulty which  consists  of  Professors  Treadgold 


and  Crerar,  and  Messrs  Banting  and 
Melson.  Underneath  the  staff  building  is 
the  photographic  dark  room  where  the 
Camera  Survey  pictures  are  finished  and 
where  students  are  given  every  encourage- 
ment in  amateur  work,  being  supplied 
with  the  necessary  equipment  and  having 
at  their  disposal  a  film-tank  developer. 


"Well  Spike  Old  Horse,  we  did  that 
Lake  in  about  half  the  time  it  took  us 
coming  up." 

"Quite  right,  Mel.  I'm  a  new  woman 
since  I  came  to  this  place." 

"How  do  you  account  for  it?" 

"I'll  say  it's  partly  the  piny  breezes, 
partly  the  thousand  feet  up,  and  partly 
the  grub.  But  oh,  that  steady  outdoor 
exercise,  and  that  good  fellowship  around 
the  camp  fire!" 

So  ends  the  Gull  Lake  season  and  at  the 
same  time  so  begins  the  life-long  season 
of  friendship. 

The  First  and  Second  Year's  field  work 
in  Queen's  Park  serves  effectively  to 
prepare  a  student  for  genuine  surveying  in 
the  Third  Year,  and  this  Third  Year  work 
gives  him  confidence  to  undertake  a 
profession  that  requires  a  sound  knowledge 
of  Surveying.  Those  with  special  skill 
and  tastes  may  perhaps  devote  their  time 
to  the  subject,  and  take  the  Astronomy 
and  Geodesy  option  in  the  Fourth  Year.

MEASUREMENT  OF  STREAM  FLOW 
WITH  CURRENT  METER 


The  Cambridge  Appointments  Board 

By  C.  R.  FAY 
PROFESSOR  OF  HISTORY  OF  ECONOMICS,  UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO 


CAMBRIDGE  UNIVERSITY  possesses 
V>i  a  federal  constitution.  There  are 
no  College  subjects  as  such  or 
University  subjects  as  such.  Broadly 
speaking  all  formal  teaching,  given  in  the 
lecture  room  or  the  laboratory,  is  now  on  a 
University  basis.  But  the  University 
itself  has  very  little  administrative 
machinery.  Each  department,  subject  to 
a  very  elastic  control  by  the  financial 
Board  and  the  General  Board  of  Studies, 
administers  its  own  affairs,  the  students' 
fees  being  in  the  first  instance  collected 
by  the  College  authorities  and  paid  over 
each  term  to  the  department  qua  depart- 
ment or  to  individual  lecturers  in  the  depart- 
ment. But  the  College  is  very  much  more 
than  a  hostel  and  an  agency  for  the  collec- 
tion of  fees.  Over  and  above  its  function 
as  a  centre  of  social  life,  it  makes  itself 
responsible  for  the  individual  tuition  of  the 
undergraduates.  This  individual  tuition 
has  two  sides  to  it.  First  of  all,  each 
undergraduate  has  a  tutor  to  whom  he 
goes  for  general  advice.  Secondly,  in  most 
cases  each  undergraduate  also  has  a 
supervisor  to  whom  he  goes  week  by  week 
for  individual  instruction.  If  the  College 
tutor  is  a  classic,  he  will,  in  addition  to 
being  the  general  tutor  of  say  100  men, 
give  supervision  in  classics  to  the  classical 
students  in  the  College.  If  the  College 
tutor  is  a  scientist,  he  will  similarly  super- 
vise those  men  who  are  taking  his  branch 
of  Science.  It  should  be  added  that  in 
some  of  the  older  subjects  the  financing 
and  appointment  of  the  lecturers  is  still  in 
the  hands  of  the  colleges,  but  even  here 
the  lectures  are  open  to  all  members  of 
the  University  and  the  lecturers  in  these 
subjects,  by  co-operation  under  the  Board 
of  Studies  to  which  they  severally  belong, 
function  in  very  much  the  same  way  as  the 
staff  of  a  Science  Department. 

This  preliminary  explanation  is  essential 
to  the  understanding  of  the  way  in  which 
the  Cambridge  University  Appointments 
Board  has  been  built  up  and  operates.  It 
was  formed  in  1906  on  the  slender  financial 
foundation  of  £100  a  year  granted  by  the 
University,  but  this  had  been  supplemented 
by  voluntary  annual  contributions  from 


all  the  Colleges,  so  that  in  1914,  the  year 
of.  the  war,  its  income  from  all  sources  was 
about  £900.  But  this  sum  is  an  altogether 
inadequate  measure  of  the  services  which 
the  Board  has  been  able  to  command. 
The  truth  is  that  the  Secretary  o(  the 
Board  has  made  the  building  up  of  it  his 
life  work.  In  his  hands  the  element  of 
officialism  has  been  reduced  to  a  minimum. 
He  has  used  to  the  full  the  opportunity 
which  the  Cambridge  system  of  education 
affords  of  going  behind  formal  qualifications 
and  of  obtaining  individual  knowledge 
about  each  applicant  from  those  who  have 
come  into  individual  contact  with  him. 
Any  good  college  tutor  might  have  done 
this,  but  it  is  safe  to  say  that  there  are 
very  few  tutors  who  could  also  have  done 
what  the  Secretary  of  the  Board  has  done — 
namely,  establish  individual  contact  with 
leading  members  of  the  business  world  and 
secure  their  personal  confidence,  in  the 
same  way  as  he  has  secured  the  personal 
confidence  of  the  University  and  College 
authorities.  Naturally  these  facts  cannot 
be  stated  in  any  formal  account  of  the 
Board's  work,  but  they  are  all  important 
in  practice. 

To  come  now  to  a  formal  account  of  the 
Board's  constitution,  method  of  work  and 
of  the  field  covered  by  it. 

Constitution 

The  Appointments  Board  consists  of 
the  Vice-Chancellor,  five  members  ap- 
pointed by  the  Senate,  members  appointed 
by  the  several  Colleges,  and  twelve 
co-opted  members.  The  menibers  appoint- 
ed by  the  Senate  ensure  the  control  by  the 
University  of  the  policy  of  the  Board  and 
the  representatives  of  Colleges  ensure  the 
co-operation  of  these  bodies  in  the  selection 
and  recommendation  of  candidates.  The 
co-opted  members  include  on  the  one  hand 
representatives  of  the  several  departments 
of  University  work,  and  on  the  other  hand 
persons  of  standing  who  are  conversant 
with  the  world  of  business.  Unlike 
Toronto,  Cambridge  is  not  a  business  or 
industrial  centre.  It  was  therefore  found 
necessary  to  supplement  the  outside  mem- 
bership on  the  Cambridge  Board  by  the 


158 


UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO  MONTHLY

creation  of  a  London  Advisory  Committee 
composed  of  London  business  men.  This 
Committee  has  been  in  operation  since 
1911  and  has  given  constant  help  and 
advice  to  the  Board. 

Method  of  Work 

As  far  as  possible  every  applicant  is 
personally  interviewed  by  the  Secretary 
of  the  Board.  The  University  and  College 
authorities  do  not  send  men  to  the  Secret- 
ary with  testimonials  written  out  in  ad- 
vance and  a  request  that  the  Secretary 
may  find  the  man  a  job.  They  await  a 
request  for  information  from  the  Secretary 
and  then  state  in  confidence  their  full 
opinion  of  the  man's  general  capacity  and 
of  his  suitability  for  a  particular  type  of 
work. 

The  Board  assumes  no  obligation  to 
recommend  any  graduate  on  their  Registers 
for  any  particular  appointment,  unless  it 
is  satisfied  that  he  is  a  qualified  and  suitable 
candidate.  Its  recommendations  are  con- 
fined to  Cambridge  men,  personally  known 
to  the  Board  or  to  College  authorities  who 
are  in  relation  with  the  Board.  The 
intimate  knowledge  it  possesses  of  the 
graduates  on  its  Registers  gives  to  its 
recommendations  the  weight  of  personal 
authority,  without  the  risk  of  personal 
bias. 

No  fee  or  commission  is  charged  either 
to  employers  or  employed,  on  account  of 
appointments  obtained  through  the  agency 
of  the  Board.  A  small  and  uniform 
registration  fee  is  charged  to  candidates 
for  the  privilege  of  placing  and  retaining 
their  names  on  the  Registers. 

The  names  of  principals,  and  the  in- 
formation supplied  by  them,  are  regarded 
by  the  Board's  Executive  as  strictly  con- 
fidential. Candidates  are  furnished  with 
details  by  the  principal  himself  or  by  the 
Board's  executive  at  his  express  request, 
after  names  have  been  submitted  to  him. 

In  no  circumstance  is  a  graduate  per- 
mitted to  mention  the  name  of  the  Board 
as  supporting  an  application,  unless  he  has 
been  expressly  authorized  in  writing  to 
do  so. 

Field  Covered 

The  field  covered  may  be  divided  into 
four  parts:  (1)  The  Services — Navy,  Army, 
Diplomatic  and  Consular,  Home,  Indian, 
and  Cblonial.  To  the  extent  that  these 
appointments  are  filled  by  open  competi- 


tion, the  Board's  work  is,  of  course,  con- 
fined to  information  and  advice.  (2)  The 
Professions- — Law,  Medicine,  Journalism. 
(3)  Educational  work  at  home  and  abroad, 
for  which  the  Board  has  a  special  depart- 
ment. (4)  Commerce  and  industry. 

The  most  distinctive  achievement  of  the 
Board  is  undoubtedly  the  success  which 
it  has  had  in  introducing  Cambridge  men 
into  commerce  and  industry,  thus  helping 
to  break  down  the  vicious  barrier  which 
once  existed  between  the  University  and 
the  world  of  industry.  To  take  one 
example,  one  of  the  largest  British  oil 
corporations  has  taken  into  its  employ 
on  the  recommendation  of  the  Board  no 
less  than  one  hundred  Cambridge  graduates 
in  the  last  ten  years. 

The  war,  which  reduced  the  numbers  of 
the  University  from  over  3,000  to  a  few 
hundreds,  temporarily  arrested  the  work 
of  the  Board;  and  the  situation  has  not 
yet  returned  to  normal.  The  University 
is  now  nearly  50  per  cent,  bigger  than  in 
the  year  before  the  war,  but  the  last 
published  figures  of  the  Board  relate  to 
the  year  1920,  when  the  numbers  leaving 
the  University  were  abnormally  low. 

Appointments  obtained  on  the  introduction 
of  the  Board 

1914  301 

1915  218 

1916  119 

1917  90 

1918  68 

1919  340 

1920  346 

Of  the  total  of  346,  73  were  administra- 
tive appointments  in  commerce  and  indus- 
try, and  74  manufacturing  and  technical 
appointments. 

The  number  of  administrative  appoint- 
ments is  noteworthy.  This  was  the  field 
about  which  the  greatest  scepticism  was 
originally  felt.  But  again  and  again  it 
has  been  proved  that  a  university  graduate, 
provided  that  he  does  not  spoil  his  chance 
by  personal  defects  (brusqueness,  un- 
willingness to  take  his  share  of  drudgery, 
or  to  recognize  that  he  must  enter  as  a 
learner)  can  make  good  in  industry  and 
be  a  better  man  in  industry  because  of  his 
university  training. 

In  this  connection  the  employment 
specialist  of  the  British  Westinghouse  made 
the  following  statement  to  a  group  of 


160 


UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO  MONTHLY 


students,  pupils  of  the  writer,  a  few  months 
ago:  "The  higher  education  we  look  for 
from  a  university  is  not  a  preliminary 
training  in  business  or  industrial  detail. 
We  expect  the  university  to  lay  a  broad 
and  sound  foundation — to  provide  good 
raw  material  out  of  which  an  efficient 


staff  may  be  shaped  by  us — to  develop 
logical  thinking  and  the  ability  to  grasp 
facts  and  to  face  a  new  situation  without 
requiring  book  rules  and  formulae.  Such 
men  will  be  able  to  hold  their  own  in  any 
circumstances.  They  will  have  a  high 
saturation  value." 


A  Trip  to  the  Fort  Norman  Oil  Fields 

By  W.  S.  DYER  '17 
ASSISTANT  IN  GEOLOGY,  UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO 


INCREASING  interest  is  being  taken  in 
the  McKenzie  river  basin  from  year 
to  year.  Settlement  is  gradually  ex- 
tending northward  through  it  and  agri- 
cultural development  will  be  halted  only 
by  climatic  conditions.  In  the  advent 
of  an  oil  boom  at  Fort  Norman  and  the 
subsequent  construction  of  a  railroad  much 
excellent  farming  and  ranching  land  would 
be  opened  up  to  pioneers. 

The  earliest  explorations  in  the  district 
were  made  by  the  employees  of  the  Hud- 
son's Bay  Company  and  by  the  repre- 
sentatives of  the  Department  of  the 
Interior  and  the  Geological  Survey.  Many 
of  these  men  reported  the  occurrence  of  oil 
at  different  localities  on  the  river  but  it 
remained  for  the  geologists  of  the  Imperial 
Oil  Company  to  do  the  first  development 
work  of  a  serious  nature.  In  the  year 
1914,  Dr  T.  O.  Bosworth  made  an  explora- 
tory trip  down  the  McKenzie  searching 
for  suitable  places  at  which  to  drill  and 
in  his  report  recommended  Fort  Norman. 
In  the  summer  of  1919,  Mr  T.  A.  Link  was 
placed  at  the  head  of  a  party  to  dp  develop- 
ment work  there  and  the  following  spring 
after  experiencing  much  difficulty  was 
able  to  get  his  drill  in  position.  In 
August  of  the  same  summer  on  the  right 
bank  of  the  river  at  a  depth  of  783  feet  a 
gusher  was  struck,  which  caused  the  eyes 
of  the  whole  country  to  become  focussed 
on  this  out-of-the-way  spot  and  many 
companies  were  formed  for  the  purpose  of 
exploiting  the  new  field. 

In  the  spring  of  1921,  a  group  of  men 
gathered  in  Toronto  to  make  preparations 
for  sending  a  small  party  to  the  scene  of 
operations,  to  take  part  in  the  venture. 
Owing  to  my  previous  experience  in  the 
north,  I  was  chosen  as  their  leader. 

May  17  saw  our  little  party  of  three 
gathered  at  Peace  River  ready  to  make 


the  long  journey  of  1,550  miles  to  the  land 
of  promise.  A  motor  boat  was  selected  in 
which  to  make  the  trip,  with  the  hope  of 
being  able  to  reach  Fort  Norman  before 
the  steamers,  which  are  often  held  up  until 
late  in  July  by  ice  in  the  lakes  and  rivers. 
As  it  was  necessary  to  carry  practically 
all  our  gasoline  and  provisions  from  the 
starting  point  two  canoes  were  also  taken. 
The  weather  was  perfect,  the  scenery 
beautiful  and  the  hours  and  days  flew  by 
as  if  on  wings.  The  two  portages  which 
had  to  be  made,  one  of  four  miles  at 
Vermilion  Chutes,  and  the  other  of  sixteen 
miles  at  Fort  Smith  were  passed  without 
difficulty,  arrangements  having  previously 
been  made  with  the  transportation  com- 
panies, and  soon  we  reached  Great  Slave 
Lake.  This  lake,  which  intervenes  be- 
tween the  mouth  of  Slave  river  and  the 
headwaters  of  the  McKenzie,  often  proves 
a  stumbling  block  in  the  journeys  to  the 
north  since  the  treacherous  storms  which 
rise  so  quickly  on  its  broad  expanse  not 
only  cause  delays  but  often  prove  danger- 
ous to  travellers.  We  reached  it  on  a  calm 
day  and  after  a  continuous  trip  of  38  hour.s 
filled  with  memorable  experiences,  gained 
the  channel  of  the  McKenzie.  We  were 
then  in  a  good  position  to  continue  our 
way  to  Fort  Norman  in  the  comparatively 
peaceful  but  swiftly  flowing  waters  of  the 
river. 

On  the  evening  of  June  16  we  reached 
Fort  Norman,  having  made  the  full  trip 
in  exactly  twenty-eight  days.  We  found 
that  we  were  the  third  party  to  have  ar- 
rived from  any  outside  point  by  water,  a 
full  week  elapsing  before  the  first  steamer 
reached  the  Fort. 

The  first  few  days  were  spent  in  gleaning 
all  the  information  possible.  We  learned 
that  during  the  winter  almost  the  whole 
population  of  the  McKenzie  district  had

BEAR  ROCK  IN  THE  BACKGROUND 

visited  Fort  Norman  and  that  a  large  part 
of  the  available  oil  lands  had  already  been 
staked.  Some  excellent  patches  were  still 
to  be  had  however,  and  we  lost  no  time 
in  laying  claim  to  the  choicest  of  these. 

Soon  after  our  arrival  other  parties 
drifted  gradually  in,  but  it  was  not  long 
before  we  were  to  learn  that  the  great 
stampede  which  had  been  prophesied 
during  the  spring  had  its  fulfilment  in  a 
few  scattered  parties  only.  These  parties 
were  well  equipped  and  were  ready  to  take 
advantage  of  the  opportunities  open  to 
them.  The  small  prospector  had  been 
held  out  by  the  stiffening  up  of  the  regu- 
lations which  stated  that  the  rental  of 
50c.  per  acre  must  be  paid  by  the  locator  of 
the  claim  at  the  time  of  registration. 

The  first  thing  to  be  done  was  to  study 
the  geology  of  the  country  as  thoroughly 
as  possible.  The  structure  and  formations 
of  the  rocks  about  Fort  Norman  appear 
very  favourable  for  the  accumulation  of 
pools  of  oil.'  An  immense  anticline  paral- 
lels the  right  bank  of  the  river  for  more 
than  a  hundred  miles  with  its  crest  an 
average  distance  of  eight  miles  inland  from 
it.  The  rocks  dip  gradually  from  the 
crest  of  the  anticline  to  the  river  and  do  not 
flatten  out  until  they  reach  a  distance  of 
fifteen  or  twenty  miles  to  the  west  of  it. 
On  this  side  they  are  covered  by  very 
thick  deposits  of  a  more  recent  age  and 
hence  very  little  of  them  can  be  seen. 
The  rocks  forming  the  anticline  are 
Devonian  in  age  and  have  been  sub- 
divided by  Bosworth  into  several  forma- 
tions, the  most  important  of  which  are  the 
Fort  Creek  Shales,  approximately  600  feet 
thick  and  the  Beavertail  formation,  bitu- 
minous limestones  400-600  feet  in  thickness. 
It  was  originally  thought  that  the  Fort 
Creek  shales  formed  the  source  of  the  oil, 


STEAMER  "DISTRIBUTOR"  WHICH  PLIES  BETWEEN 
FORT  SMITH  AND  THE  ARCTIC  OCEAN 

since  it  was  in  these  shales  that  the  first 
well  made  the  strike.  More  credence  is 
now  given,  however,  to  the  theory  that 
the  very  bituminous  limestones  below  form 
the  source  and  the  impervious  shales  above 
merely  the  cap,  and  that  the  Imperial 
Oil  Company's  drill  either  encountered 
an  isolated  patch  of  oil  in  the  Fort  Creek 
formation  which  are  bituminous  in  places, 
or  that  fracturing  had  opened  up  fissures 
in  the  Fort  Creek  through  which  oil  had 
risen  from  the  Beavertail  below.  Which- 
ever theory  may  prove  correct  the  fact 
remains  that  the  second  well  drilled  by  the 
Fort  Norman  Oil  Company  of  Toronto  had 
not  reached  the  limestone  at  1,550  feet. 
It  was  most  unfortunate  that  drilling  by 
the  latter  company  had  to  be  postponed 
until  another  summer  owing  to  lack  of 
casing  and  the  fact  that  the  crew  were  not 
prepared  to  stay  in  the  country  over 
winter.  They  were  rewarded  however  by  a 
considerable  flow  of  gas  and  they  are  con- 
fident that  in  another  summer's  drilling  they 
will  reach  the  limestones  and  strike  a  larger 
flow  of  oil  than  has  yet  been  obtained. 

Transportation  facilities  are  very  poor 
and  the  companies  which  are  operating  in 
the  district  have  been  forced  to  spend  great 
sums  of  money  in  getting  their  outfits  to 
such  a  distant  point.  Once  the  presence 
of  oil  in  quantity  has  been  proved  however, 
the  problem  of  getting  it  out  to  the  markets 
should  be  readily  solved.. 

The  Imperial  Oil  Company  have  four 
drilling  rigs  in  position  and  a  crew  of  fifty 
men  has  been  left  in  charge  of  them  over 
winter.  They  hope  to  do  some  drilling 
during  the  winter  months  but  at  any  rate 
another  summer's  work  should  bring  re- 
sults which  will  be  anxiously  awaited  by 
all  those  who  have  the  interest  of  the 
country  at  heart. 


The  Workers'  Educational  Association 

By  W.  S.  MILNER 
PROFESSOR  OF  GREEK  AND  ROMAN  HISTORY 


THE  Editor  of  THE  MONTHLY  in  asking 
for  this  article  on  the  work  of  the 
Workers'     Educational     Association 
tells  me  that    what  would  be  most  inter- 
esting to  the  public  would  be  "concrete 
examples  of  how  the  work  is  conducted  and 
what  its   results   are".     In   keeping  with 
the  times  you  are  to  watch  the  process  in 
the   cinema   and    tabulate    the   results   in 
the  office. 

Well,  the  process  is  this.  You  are  to 
imagine  a  group  of  10  to  30  workingmen 
(with  some  women),  coming  in  Toronto 
largely  from  the  ranks  of  unorganized 
labour,  with  a  sprinkling  of  men  from 
offices,  and  here  and  there  a  manager  of  a 
business-department,  working  together 
with  an  instructor  at  some 'book  which 
forms  a  core  to  their  study  and  a  thread 
for  such  talks  or  lectures  as  the  instructor 
may  give,  for  an  hour  in  the  evening  once  a 
week.  This  is  followed  by  a  second  hour 
of  general  argument  and  discussion,  or 
the  whole  two  hours  may  be  spent  in 
reading,  comment,  and  general  argument, 
as  in  one  class  which  I  myself  conducted 
for  two  years  in  Aristotle's  Politics  (Jow- 
ett's  translation)  and  one  year  with 
Hearnshaw's  "Democracy  at  the  Cross- 
Roads"  for  a  text.  This  year  the  number 
of  applicants  for  my  subject  was  not  large 
enough  to  justify  conducting  a  class.  It 
is  a  friendly,  sometimes  eager  group  of  men, 
about  a  table  if  possible,  with  pipes,  if 
pipes  are  necessary  for  happiness.  The 
members  of  the  class  are  called  to  write 
essays  at  intervals,  and  books  are  suggested 
for  reading.  The  Association  in  Toronto 
possesses  a  small  library  for  the  use  of  the 
students,  and  library  and  study  groups  are 
now  accommodated  in  the  Social  Service 
Building.  It  is  a  lovable  company.  Friend- 
ships are  formed  and  the  instructor  re- 
ceives an  education  and  training  for  his 
own  college  work  of  a  unique  sort.  For 
the  questions  asked  are  not  those  of  the 
undergraduate,  who,  in  such  quantity, 
attends  the  University  to  have  something 
done  to  him,  and  whose  questions  are  so 
rare  that  they  have  something  of  the  effect 
of  a  bomb  exploded  in  the  class.  They 
are  more  apt  to  be  the  kind  of  question 


which  your  little  boy  puts  to  you  at  the 
dinner-table,  or  the  man  of  business  when 
he  asks  you,  "What  are  the  results?"  If 
they  are  the  former  .they  are  "posers". 
They  drive  you  back  upon  the  absolute 
fundamentals  and  compel  you  to  dig  up 
again  and  again  the  foundations  of  your 
subject,  to  found  it  more  solidly  and  to 
develop  a  fertility  of  illustration  which  is 
quite  invaluable.  If  they  are  the  latter, 
they  awaken  in  you  the  complicated 
feelings  which  the  editor's  bland  pre- 
scription awakened  in  me.  But  presently 
you  realize  that  this  too  is  part  of  your 
function.  We  have  to  carry  the  gospel  to 
"pushing"  newspaper  and  business  men, 
hot  "labourites,"  and  the  man  in  the 
street, — for  they  too  really  believe  that 
the  world  does  not  consist  of  things,  they 
have  only  forgotten  that  it  does  not — and 
it  is  only  folly  to  answer  that  there  are 
no  results. 

"What  are  the  results?"  Does  he  ask 
this  question  from  the  point  of  view  of 
University  or  church  managers  who  care- 
fully scrutinize  the  additions  to  the  mem- 
bership, the  activities  of  the  year,  the  state 
of  the  funds?  Well,  something  of  this  sort 
will  be  included.  Or  is  it  from  the  point 
of  view  of  the  great  business  organization, 
which  is  concerned  with  "the  temper  of 
labour"?  Knowledge  will  produce  both 
rest  and  unrest.  Or  is  it  from  the  point 
of  view  of  organized  labour  as  a  whole? 
It  has  to  be  recorded  that  in  Toronto 
organized  labour  as  a  whole  is  not  yet 
really  interested  in  the  movement,  knows 
little  about  it,  or  is  suspicious  of  it,  or 
believes  that  it  has  no  bearing  on  its 
problems.  Now  this  should  not  dismay 
us,  for,  if  labour  took  up  the  movement 
enthusiastically,  from  the  standpoint  of 
"results"  and  "solutions,"  the  actual 
results  might  well  be  disastrous.  For  it 
is  of  the  ver}r  essence  of  this  movement,  as 
it  arose  in  England,  and  as  we  tried  to 
transplant  it  here  in  Canada,  that  it  is 
spiritual,  and  that  it  must  grow  from  its 
inner  vitajity  and  from  nothing  else.  The 
educational  field  is  open  for  all  sorts  of 
activities,  but  in  so  far  as  we  in  our  field 
depart  from  our  original  ideal — and  we

UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO  MONTHLY 


163 


have  made  a  departure  from  it  in  estab- 
lishing this  year  a  class  in  "public-speak- 
ing"— we  err,  as  universities  sometimes 
err.  For  the  ideal  of  the  W.E.A.  is  that 
of  the  University,  and  we  so  stated  it  in 
organizing  the  society.  The  problem  which 
the  original  founders  of  the  movement  in 
England  set  themselves  to  solve  was  this: 
-Is  it  possible  for  a  thoughtful  man  or 
woman  who  has  not  had  the  opportunity 
for  higher  education  to  obtain  later  in  life 
the  education  which  in  its  essence  is  the 
same  as  that  obtained  in  a  university? 
The  reply  made  was  that,  in  the  fields  of 
history,  political  thought,  economics,  Eng- 
lish literature,  and  philosophy,  it  is  possible 
for  groups  of  such  men  and  women  organ- 
ized and  working  under  the  system  of  the 
older  English  universities  where  the  essay 
is  the  pivot  upon  which  all  turns.  Twelve 
evenings  a  year  were  exacted  from  the 
English  groups.  It  was  only  to  be  anti- 
cipated that  in  Toronto,  where  the  lecture 
system  is  still  so  strong,  we  should  fall 
away  somewhat  from  the  less  rigid  ad- 
herence which  we  gave  to  this  ideal.  But, 


in  my  judgment,  it  is  essential  to  this  adult 
education.  Probably  also  my  fellow-work- 
ers would  agree  that,  as  with  our  under- 
graduates, the  reading  of  a  book  by  our 
students  is  a  more  formidable  thing  than 
it  is  in  Great  Britain.  We  do  not  read 
books  in  North  America  to  the  same  extent 
as  they  do  in  the  less  advanced  tracts  of 
cultivation. 

But  if  we  put  our  editor's  question  to 
our  classes  we  should  probably  find  that 
the  students  who  stay  with  us  feel  that 
it  is  worth  while.  They  find  with  dis- 
appointment at  times  that  there  are  no 
"solutions"  such  as  they  expected  to  their 
immediate  problems.  This  is  what  men 
find  in  universities.  They  come  to  realize 
the  enormous  complexity  of  our  modern 
world,  and  that  man  himself  is  not  less 
complex.  Or,  if  they  work  in  such  a  class 
as  those  in  English  literature,  or  history, 
they  find  that  their  human  interests  and 
sympathies  are  greatly  enlarged  and  that 
there  are  springs  of  happiness  open  to  all, 
of  which  they  were  not  aware,  in  the  field 
of  the  spirit  of  man. 


Details  of  the  W.  E.  A.  Courses 

By  W.  J.  DUNLOP 
DIRECTOR,  UNIVERSITY  EXTENSION,  UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO 


Having  read  Professor  Milner's  manu- 
script on  this  topic,  it  occurred  to  the 
writer  that  readers  of  THE  MONTHLY 
might  be  interested  in  the  following  details 
regarding  these  classes. 

In  the  Workers'  Educational  Association 
there  are  in  Toronto  this  year  six  classes 
with  an  aggregate  enrolment  of  89.  The 
attendance,  largely  no  doubt  on  account 
of  the  general  elections,  has  not  been  good 
except  in  the  classes  studying  English 
Literature  and  Psychology.  In  these  two 
classes  women  predominate — in  the  former 
there  is  only  one  man!  The  classes  in 
British  History,  International  Finance, 
Public  Speaking,  Economics,  and  Trade 
Union  Law  are  not  large. 

In  Hamilton  there  is  a  Workers'  Edu- 
cational Association,  independent  entirely 
of  the  one  in  Toronto,  but  supported  by 
the  Provincial  University.  Here  there 
are  four  classes,  two  in  Economics,  one  in 
English  Literature,  and  one  in  Psychology. 
These  classes  have  each  an  enrolment  of 
from  20  to  30,  the  attendance  is  good,  and 
the  enthusiasm  at  a  high  pitch. 


The  University  of  Toronto  supports  also 
a  Workers'  Educational  Association  in 
Ottawa  in  which  there  are  three  classes,  one 
in  English  Literature  with  an  enrolment 
of  130,  one  in  Economics  with  39,  and  one 
in  Canadian  History  with  53.  Though 
the  enrolment  in  Ottawa  is  the  largest  of 
the  three  cities  and  the  attendance  is  the 
best  of  the  three,  it  is  not  trades  unionists 
who  are  taking  most  advantage  of  the 
instruction.  The  great  majority  of  the 
students  might  be  described  as  belonging 
to  the  general  public.  Workers  they  are, 
it  is  true,  but  not  the  kind  of  workers  for 
whose  benefit  -the  Workers'  Educational 
Association  was  formed. 

And  this  is  the  crux  of  the  whole  problem 
of  the  W.E.A.  in  Canada  as  well  as,  it 
would  seem,  in  the  United  States.     The 
Workers'     Educational    Association     was 
intended  to  be  "a  co-operation  between 
labour    and     learning".     "Labour"    was 
intended    to    include    printers,    pi  umbers 
locomotive  engineers,  brakemen,  carmen 
street-railway  motormen  and  conductors' 
carpenters,    blacksmiths,    brass    polishers'

mechanics  of  all  kinds,  factory  workers, 
etc.  But  these  are  not  the  people  who, 
so  far,  have  grasped  this  opportunity  for 
higher  education  of  the  cultural  type. 
Instead,  when  W.E.A.  classes  are  opened 
they  are  filled  with  stenographers,  clerks, 
bookkeepers,  insurance  agents,  social  ser- 
vice workers,  teachers,  salespeople,  with 
only  a  relatively  small  sprinkling  of 
mechanics  and  artisans.  And  of  the  latter 
it  would  appear  that  the  majority  are 
British-born ! 

Why  should  the  Canadian  manual 
labourer  fail  to  accept  what  the  University 
offers  him?  It  is  not  the  cost.  The  fee 
is  one  dollar  a  year  and  books,  but  there 
is  no  cost  at  all  to  the  unemployed.  Is 


it  the  high  grade  of  instruction?  This 
is  made  of  such  a  character  that  not 
previous  education,  but  only  mature  in- 
telligence, is  necessary  in  order  to  assimi- 
late it.  Is  it  the  prevalent  suspicion  which 
leads  the  labourer  to  feel  that  there  is 
"something  behind"  every  generous  offer? 
Is  there  an  idea  that  a  university  has 
"capitalistic"  sympathies?  Such  sus- 
picions are,  of  course,  so  absurd  as  to  be 
really  ludicrous  but  they  may,  nevertheless, 
be  potent  factors  in  the  situation.  Is  it 
the  desire  for  "practical"  rather  than 
' '  cultural ' '  education  ?  Or  is  it  indifference 
and  lethargy  and  the  lure  of  amusements 
that  lie  at  the  root  of  the  difficulty? 


T.  R.  Deacon,  Pioneer  Manufacturing  Engineer 

By  GEORGE  E.  SILVESTER,  Sci.  '91  * 


It  was  James  J.  Hill  who  termed  Civil 
Engineers  "the  scouts  of  progress — path- 
finders to  a  new  world ;  indespensable  when 
we  step  beyond  the  borders  of  civilization, 
paving  the  way  for  generations  daring 
.enough  to  follow." 

He  spoke  from  the  fulness  of  his  ex- 
perience as  a  builder  of  a  new  empire  out 
of  the  wilderness  of  the  North-West  States. 
The  engineers  who  inspired  such  a  defini- 
tion must  have  been  men  of  dominant 
force,  dauntless  courage  and  adventurous 
spirit,  and  withal  endowed  with  vision. 

An  outstanding  example  of  the  above 
type  and  definition  of  engineer  is  the 
subject  of  this  sketch — Thomas  Russ 
Deacon,  (just  "Tom"  to  his  friends). 

Born  at  Perth,  Ontario,  he  graduated 
in  Civil  Engineering  from  the  S.P.S.  in 
1891. 

Early  lumbering  experiences  having  given 
him  a  knowledge  of  woodcraft  and  a  love 
of  the  wild,  and  municipal  engineering 
proving  too  tame,  he  took  his  transit  into 
the  wilderness — more  specifically  to  the 
Lake  of  the  Woods  district,  where  a  gold 
boom  was  in  the  making. 

With  the  powerful  frame  and  rugged 
constitution  which  qualified  him  for  the 
anchor  position  in  the  invincible  S.P.S. 
Tug-of-War  Team,  he  combined  an  equally 
powerful  and  alert  mental  equipment.  To 
the  thorough  professional  grounding  of 
"The  Old  Red  School"  he  brought  a  cool, 
keen,  native  judgment. 


In  those  strenuous  Rat  Portage  days  he 
established  a  record  of  accomplishment 
which  inevitably  brought  him  to  the 
attention  of  large  English  mining  interests 
operating  there.  He  was  appointed  Mana- 
ger of  the  Ontario  Gold  Concessions,  and 
then  Mining  Director  and  Consulting 
Engineer  of  the  Mikado  Gold  Mining 
Company.  He  seems,  however,  to  have 
diagnosed  with  remarkable  accuracy  the 
first  symptoms  of  the  sleeping  sickness 
which  later  attacked  the  gold  mining, 
industry  in  the  Lake  of  the  Woods  district 
and  got  out  while  the  getting  was  good. 

Realizing  that  an  era  of  rapid  growth 
and  expansion  was  developing  in  Western 
Canada,  he  decided  to  go  into  manufactur- 
ing. In  conjunction  with  Mr  H.  B.  Lyall 
he  founded  the  Manitoba  Bridge  &  Iron 
Works.  Later  he  organized  the  Manitoba 
Rolling  Mill  Company,  and  built  the  only 
rolling  mill  in  Western  Canada.  Still 
later  he  formed  the  Manitoba  Steel  &  Iron 
Company,  a  wholesale  jobbing  and  mer- 
chant business.  He  is  President  of  all 
three  of  these  Companies,  and  their  out- 
standing success  in  a  pioneer  field  is  a 
monument  to  his  untiring  energy  and  sound 
business  judgment  and  foresight. 

Tom  Deacon  early  demonstrated  his 
belief  in  the  principle  so  widely  advocated 
in  engineering  societies  to-day — that  en- 
gineers should  identify  themselves  with 
public  affairs.  He  was  Alderman  and 
acting  Mayor  of  Rat  Portage.  Later,  in 


UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO  MONTHLY 


165 


Winnipeg,  he  brought  forward  and  advo- 
cated the  great  Shoal  Lake  Water  Supply 
project  for  the  city  and  district.  It  was 
at  first  rejected,  but  he  persisted  in  his 
championship  of  the  scheme,  and  as  an 
endorsation  of  his  policy,  he  was  elected 
Mayor  of  Winnipeg.  He  was  re-elected 
by  acclamation  to  complete  the  organiza- 
tion of  the  Greater  Winnipeg  Water  Dis- 
trict, and  to  solve  the  water  supply  problem. 
This  project  has  been  carried  to  successful 
completion,  and  the  credit  of  this  great 
and  beneficial  work  is  due  almost  entirely 
to  Tom  Deacon's  initiative  and  courage. 

Other  avenues  of  public  service  were 
the  Royal  Commission  which  drafted  the 
Manitoba  Workmen's  Compensation  Act; 
and  the  Good  Roads  Board  of  Manitoba. 
He  is  also  a  member  of  the  Council  of  the 
Winnipeg  Board  of  Trade  and  of  the 
Executive  of  the  Canadian  Manufacturers' 
Association,  and  many  other  organizations. 

The  above  meagre  outline  of  some  of 
Tom's  achievements  and  activities  will 
show  how  thoroughly  he  has  established 
himself  as  a  dominant  figure  in  the  business 
and  public  life  of  his  community.  As 
such,  also,  he  has  acquired  an  international 
reputation  as  a  platform  and  after-dinner 
speaker  on  public  affairs,  an  accomplish- 
ment all  too  rare  among  engineers. 

Like  so  many  successful  men  Tom  keeps 
young  (and  he  says  he  feels  about  as  young 
as  ever)  by  taking  the  good  things  of  life 
as  they  come  along,  so  he  makes  time, 
among  other  things,  to  play  golf,  for  which 
Winnipeg  now  provides  such  exceptional 
facilities. 

His  happy  family  circle,  like  so  many, 
many  others,  was  harshly  invaded  by  the 
war,  and  husband  and  wife  mourn  the  loss

Class  1918,  S.P.S.,  who  died  in  hospital  in 
France,  after  twenty-three  months'  active 
service  overseas. 

To  sum  up — Tom  is  an  all-round  big 
man  and  a  good  fellow;  a  staunch  Cana- 
dian and  a  sterling  citizen  of  the  type 
of  modern,  technically  trained  Empire 
builders  who,  inspired  by  the  vision  of  a 
greater  Canada,  are  making  for  her  a  place 
in  the  sun.

By  EMMY  LOU  CARTER  '12 


ONE  of  the  most  outstanding  figures  in 
the  educational  life  of  Canada  is  a 
citizen  of  our  own  city  and  a  gradu- 
ate of  our  own  University,  Miss  Gertrude 
Lawler. 

Although  her  birthplace  was  Boston, 
Mass.,  her  home,  from  an  early  age,  has 
been  in  Toronto  with  her  uncle,  Rev. 
E.  B.  Lawler,  whose  scholarly  influence  did 
much  to  mould  her  character  and  tastes. 
She  had  every  advantage  in  books,  music 
and  travel,  but  it  is  to  her  personal  attain- 
ments that  her  success  is  due. 

Miss  Lawler  was  the  first  girl  to  win  a 
Blake  General  Proficiency  Scholarship  at 


MISS  LAWLER 

matriculation  for  Jarvis  Street  Collegiate 
Institute.  Then  followed  a  university 
course  whose  brilliance  remains  unsurpass- 
ed. She  was  awarded  a  General  Proficieny 
Scholarship  in  the  Honour  Courses  of  the 
first  and  second  years,  a  Gold  Medal  in 
the  third  year,  and  in  1890  was  the  first 
woman  to  graduate  with  honours  in  all 
departments.  Later  she  took  her  M.A. 
in  Mathematics. 

In  view  of  the  struggle  waged  by  women 
for  equal  pay  for  equal  work  it  is  interesting 
to  note  that  Miss  Lawler  was  accorded  this 
right  without  hesitation.  When  she  com- 
menced to  teach  in  Stratford  Collegiate 
Institute,  after  her  pedagogical  training, 
she  was  immediately  placed  at  the  head  of 


the  department  with  a  salary  hitherto 
given  only  to  a  man.  A  year  later,  on 
January  7,  1892,  Harbord  Street  Collegiate 
Institute  was  opened,  and  shortly  after- 
ward Miss  Lawler  became  head  of  the 
English  Department,  where  she  remained 
for  twenty-six  years. 

To  the  hundreds  of  students  with  whom 
she  came  in  contact,  she  was  not  only 
a  guide  and  inspiration  but  an  under- 
standing and  sympathetic  friend.  To  all 
comers,  she  is  invariably  gracious,  courte- 
ous, and  hospitable.  The  rare  charm  of 
her  personality,  a  delightful  sense  of 
humour,  a  very  keen  discrimination  of 
facts,  and  a  broad,  tolerant  spirit  have 
made  her  companionship  valued  so  highly 
by  her  friends  and  appreciated  so  deeply 
by  her  pupils. 

Many  unique  honours  have  been  con- 
ferred upon  this  distinguished  graduate. 
She  was  the  first  lecturer,  examiner  and 
critic  in  English  in  the  Faculty  of  Education 
of  the  University  of  Toronto.  For  ten 
years,  at  intervals,  she  was  Associate 
Examiner  of  the  Department  of  Education 
of  Ontario  under  Dr  Seath's  direction. 
She  was  the  first  woman  to  be  elected  a 
member  of  the  University  Senate,  and 
now  represents  University  College  for  the 
fourth  term.  An  evidence  of  her  inde- 
fatigable efforts  for  the  welfare  of  society 
can  be  seen  in  the  various  activities  in 
which  she  is  engaged.  She  is  President 
of  the  Toronto  Catholic  Women's  League, 
a  Vice-president  of  the  Catholic  Women's 
League  of  Canada,  a  Vice-president  of  the 
Toronto  University  Women's  Club,  Sec- 
retary of  the  Toronto  Mothers'  Allowances 
Board,  Secretary  of  the  Ontario  Committee 
of  Education  Films,  a  Life  Member  of  the 
Red  Cross,  and  a  member  of  many  other 
organizations. 

If  Miss  Lawler  lias  a  hobby,  it  is  indeed 
a  patriotic  -one — to  keep  Canada  truly 
British  in  language,  education,  and  ideals. 
She  believes  that  only  by  adhering  to  our 
native  tongue  as  a  uniform  language,  and 
by  upholding  the  British  law  of  justice 
as  the  universal  law,  can  Canada  hold  her 
place  among  the  nations  of  the  world. 
To  this  end  she  has  been  a  most  con- 
scientious teacher  and  leader,  making  the 
study  of  the  English  language  a  joy  and 
not  a  labour,  a  triumph  and  not  a  struggle.

James  Ballantyne  '80— An  Appreciation 

By  RICHARD  DAVIDSON  '99 
PROFESSOR  OF  OLD  TESTAMENT  LITERATURE,  KNOX  COLLEGE 


JAMES  BALLANTYNE,  the  eldest  son 
of  the  late  Hon..  Thomas  Ballantyne 
was  born  near  Stratford,  Ontario,  on 
August  22,  1857.  He  received  his  edu- 
cation at  Dr  Tassie's  famous  school,  at 
the  University  of  Toronto,  at  Leipzig,  at 
Knox  College,  Princeton  Theological 
Seminary,  and  Edinburgh  University.  He 
was  minister  of  Knox  Church,  London, 
from  1885  till  1894,  and  of  Knox  Church, 
Ottawa,  from  1894  till  1896.  Since  1896 
he  has  been  Professor  of  Church  History 
in  Knox  College.  In  1886  he  married 
Florence,  daughter  of  the  late  Hon. 
Charles  Clarke,  of  Elora. 

Within  these  circles  Dr  Ballantyne  lived 
his  quiet  life.  He  was  a  man  of  rare 
geniality  in  his  home.  His  students,  too, 
will  remember  his  teaching.  Exact  in- 
formation, precise  statement,  and  the 
will  to  appraise  men's  deeds  justly.  They 
will  remember  his  patience  and  his  courtesy. 

As  they  went  out  from  the  College  year 
by  year  they  were  pleased  that  he  did  not 
forget  them.  He  followed  them  with 
affection  and  hope  and  bound  them  to 
himself  afresh.  To  the  last  he  was  hospit- 
able to  younger  men's  opinions;  they  found 
that  nothing  but  the  stronger  reason  would 
make  him  differ  with  them.  So  he  held 
their  good-will  and  confidence,  and  so, 
perhaps,  they  helped  to  keep  him  young. 
Few  things  could  bring  a  man  greater 
satisfaction  than  the  loyalty  with  which 
his  old  students  gathered  about  him  last 
April  to  celebrate  his  completion  of 
twenty-five  years  as  professor  in  the 
College. 

Dr  Ballantyne's  colleagues  on  the  staff 
will  know  the  difference.  His  intimate 
knowledge  of  the  past  of  the  College  and 
of  its  relation  with  the  University,  his 
instinctive  understanding  of  higher  edu- 
cation and  public  affairs  in  Ontario,  and 
his  clear  discrimination  of  moral  values 
are  gone;  and  the  loss  is  irreparable. 

Churchmen  far  and  near  have  sought 
his  advice.  Where  difference  of  opinion 
threatened  to  paralyze  the  common  pur- 
pose he  gave  time  and  strength  ungrudg- 
ingly. He  joined  firmness  with  fine  feeling 
and  spoke  the  truth  in  love.  And  his 
judgment  in  large  questions,  never  lightly 


formed,  carried  increasing  weight.  In 
1920  th^  church  fathers  entrusted  to  him 
her  highest  and  most  delicate  responsibili- 
ties: he  was  elected  Moderator  of  the 
General  Assembly  at  Ottawa. 

In  all  he  has  shown  undeviating  loyalty 
to  the  Church  of  Christ  and  her  catholic 
tradition;  and,  free  from  sectarian  spirit, 
he  has  magnified  the  common  heritage 
of  faith  and  devotion.

My  dear  Mr  Editor: 

Imprimis  let  me  offer  felicitations  upon  your 
excellent  December  issue! 

Then  let  me  enter  a  caveat  or  protest.  On  page 
95,  at  top  of  the  second  column,  I  read  "Campus 
recovers  from  War  Injuries."  "It  has  gone.  The 
unsightly  fence  around  the  front  campus  is  a  thing 
of  the  past  and  for  the  first  time  in  seven  years 
the  Varsity  Lawn  looks  itself  again."  On  this  let 
us  all  rejoice,  but,  for  old  sake's  sake  and  goodness' 
sake  let  the  "American"  name  go  with  the  fence! 
It  was  only  of  late  years  that  the  word  campus  in 
this  connexion,  was  ever  heard  here  and,  like  the 
American  College  Yell,  it  grates  harshly  on  the 
ear.  Can  not  hazing  or  initiation,  and  the  yell 
and  the  term  campus,  all  Yankee  notions, 
abolished  together?  The  Press  can  do  it,  Mr  Editor 
and  we  look  to  you.  When  Cicero  wrote  '  'sit  campus 
in  quo  exsultare  possit  oratio"  he  could  never  have 
conceived  of  such  an  open  space  being  used  to 
offend  Minerva's  ears  with  a  "college  yell"  or  to 
"Shout  in  Folly's  horny  tympanum  Such  things 
as  make  the  wise  man  dumb." 

Rhodes  Scholars  may  have  carried  it  across  the 
seas  but  the  word  has  been  unknown  there  until 
now  in  university  parlance.  Here  from  the  begin- 
ning it  was  called  the  Lawn  as  you  have  twice 
done  in  your  note,  and  the  enclosed  space  behind 
the  building  the  Quad.  Do  we  gain  anything  by 
the  change?  Do  not  all  three  things  diminish  our 
self-respect  and  make  us  a  rock  of  offence  ^nd  stone 
of  stumbling  or  at  least  make  us  appear,  very 
childish  and  silly  to  the  sensible  man  in  the  com- 
munity? Unhappily  during  the  War,  the  Campus 
Martins  name  had  some  significance.  The  exercitus 
was  trained  and  exercised  upon  it.  The  ground 
was  sacred  long  ago,  as  it  were  a  temple,  and  its 
seemly  appearance  preserved  by  regulations,  so, 
that  a  Vice-Chancellor  has  been  known  to  be 
arrested  for  hurrying  across  it;  and  now  it  should

be  preserved  by  fines  from  the  intrusion  of  under- 
graduate feet  which  mar  and  deface  its  beauty  in 
which,  on  the  other  hand,  they  ought  to  take  a 
pride,  for  we  no  longer  "judge  all  Nature  by  her 
feet  of  clay."  The  impress  of  cloven  or  uncloven 
hoofs  upon  the  Lawn  is  well  exchanged  for  their 
owner's  names  upon  the  Honours  List.  I  am  not 
of  those,  however,  who  think  the  Pyrrhic  phalanx 
well  exchanged  for  "the  Pyrrhic  dance  as  yet," 
and  Mars  can  never  be  abandoned  safely  for 
Terpsichore.  Why  not  have  both  in  j  ust  proportion? 
The  Millennium  is  yet  far  off!  The  return  of  the 
Lawn  you  mention  as  a  sign  of  the  return  of  the 
normal.  Most  welcome  be  it!  And  with  the 
normal  verdure  of  the  Lawn  may  our  normal 
speech  return  to  the  native  type  of  the  King's 
English,  expressed  at  times,  it  may  be,  in  silly 
sooth,  but  only  in  terms  hallowed  by  long  use  in 
English  academic  phrase.  Let  the  bejants  (bees 
jaunes,  indocti)  learn  the  twitter,  etjuvant  meminisse 
periti. 

Yours,  etc., 

I.  H.  CAMERON. 


Book  Reviews 

Maria  Chapdelaine  by  Louis  Hemon.  Translation 
by  W.  H.  Blake  '82  (Macmillan). 

Maria  Chapdelaine  is  the  work  of  a  highly  edu- 
cated young  Frenchman,  Louis  Hemon,  who  came 
to  Canada  in  1912  and  began  a  study  of  the  people 
in  certain  rural  portions  of  Quebec.  In  1913  he 
died  as  the  result  of  a  railway  accident  at  Chapleau, 
Ontario.  This  story  of  French  Canadian  life  was 
first  published  in  Le  Temps  of  Paris  in  the  early 
part  of  1914.  In  1916  it  appeared  in  book  form 
but  has  not  been  translated  into  English  until  now. 

The  story  is  of  French  Canadian  pioneers. 
Samuel  Chapdelaine  is  one  who  prefers  the  axe 
to  the  plow.  Having  cleared  his  land  he  turns 
from  it  to  new  untouched  holdings  in  the  woods. 
His  wife  Laura  and  his  daughter  Maria  have  not 
quite  the  same  pioneer  spirit.  They  object  to 
the  frequent  movings,  preferring  to  stay  where 
there  are  neighbours  and  churches  and  stores. 
Maria  loves  a  trapper  and  guide  who  goes  far  into 
the  North  never  to"  return.  It  is  believed  that 
he  perished  in  the  snow.  Later  two  other  suitors 
come,  one  a  neighbour  who  could  offer  only  a 
continuation  of  the  life  of  hardship  to  which  she 
had  been  accustomed,  and  the  other  a  fine  beau  who 
has  made  his  home  in  the  United  States.  The 
voice  of  Quebec  speaks  to  her  and  she  becomes 
the  wife  of  the  habitant. 

In  attempting  to  give  in  an  English  version  the 
shades  of  meaning  found  in  the  original  which 
contains  a  great  deal  of  colloquial  vernacular,  Mr 
Blake  was  confronted  by  a  very  difficult  task. 
But  by  allowing  himself  considerable  freedom  in 
the  handling  of  the  text  he  has  given  us  a  trans- 
lation urkm  which  it  would  be  very  difficult  to 
improve. 

Elise  Le  Beau,  a  Dramatic  Idyll  and  Lyrics  and 
Sonnets  by  Evelyn  Durand.  University  of  Toronto 
Press,  1921.  pp.  168. 

It  seems  but  yesterday  since  the  first  women 
students  entered  our  University's  gates  and  yet  a 
goodly  number  of  them  have  passed  within  the 


veil.  Among  these  is  Evelyn  Durand  (1870-1900), 
noted  as  an  undergraduate  (1891-1896)  for  an 
intense,  serious  spirit,  never  confined  within  the 
limits  prescribed  by  formal  curricula.  We  often 
had  the  pleasure  of  reading  prose  and  verse  pub- 
lished by  her  in  University  and  other  journals, 
and  now  within  a  few  days  a  small  volume  of  her 
poetry  has  issued  from  the  press  under  the  editorial 
care  of  her  sister  Laura  B.  Durand. 

We  shall  try  to  give  at  present  only  a  word  or 
two  regarding  the  contents  of  this  volume.  The 
longest  piece  is  Elise  Le  Beau,  a  dramatic  poem 
doubtless  intended  more  for  reading  than  for 
acting.  The  mysterious  poem  Xouthos  seems  to 
breathe  out  despair  over  an  empty  world  as  well  as 
yearning  for  the  good  souls  who  are  ruined  therein. 
The  Judgment  of  Europe  is,  in  matter,  the  most 
striking  in  the  collection.  It  might  be  considered 
as  a  prophecy  of  the  Great  War.  There  is  a 
touching  kind  of  pathos  running  through  the  patri- 
otic feeling  of  poems  such  as  Toronto,  The  Fairy 
Lake,  0  Erie  can  flow  to  Ontario,  etc.  The  patriotic 
feeling  is,  by  the  way,  reserved  and  unobtrusive, 
but  very  real.  0  dilectum  penetrale  is  of  beautiful, 
tender  simplicity.  Very  clever  and  effective  are 
the  bits  of  song  scattered  through  Elise  Le  Beau, 
such  as  Dance,  dance,  despite  the  reddened  leaf,  So 
boldly  came  I  to  the  door,  Snug  in  my  little  bed,  and 
the  like.  It  is  with  deep  regret  that  one  reflects 
on  what  such  a  poetical  nature  might  have  accom- 
plished if  cruel  death  had  not  shot  his  bolt  so  early. 

It  remains  to  be  said  that  the  mechanical  exe- 
cution of  the  volume  is  of  a  high  order  and  does 
credit  to  the  University  of  Toronto  Press.

The  late  Dr  Moses  Aikins,  '55 

The  death  of  Dr  Moses  H.  Aikins  at  Burnham- 
thorpe  on  December  19,  removed  one  of  the  most 
outstanding  figures  in  Canadian  Medicine,  and 
one  of  the  senior  graduates  of  the  University.  He 
was  in  his  ninetieth  year. 

Dr.  Aikins  graduated  from  Victoria  College  in 
1855  and  then  studied  Medicine  at  the  Jefferson 
Medical  College,  Philadelphia,  and  in  England 
where  he  obtained  the  degree  of  M.R.C.S.  On 
completion  of  his  studies  he  returned  to  his  boyhood 
home  at  Burnhamthorpe  and  commenced  a  practice 
which  was  of  large  proportions  and  from  which  he 
retired  only  a  few  years  ago. 

Dr  Aikins  was  for  many  years  identified  with  the 
teaching  of  Medicine  in  Toronto.  He  was  a 
professor  of  Anatomy  in  the  Toronto  School  of 
Medicine  and  associate  professor  in  the  University 
of  Toronto. 

Sir  James  Aikins,  Lieutenant  Governor  of  Mani- 
toba, and  Dr  H.  W.  Aikins,  Registrar  of  the  College 
of  Physicians  and  Surgeons  are  nephews  of  the 
late  Dr  Aikins. 


TJ.C.  Women  to  Hear  Mrs  Pankhurst 

A  stimulating  address  by  Sir  George  E.  Foster, 
an  informal  talk  en  the  possibilities  of  the  Canadian 
drama  by  Bertram  Forsyth,  and  an  evening  with 
J.  W.  Beatty  at  "The  Grange,"  have  made  the 
Fall  meetings  of  the  University  College  Alumnae 
Association  specially  attractive.  With  such  a 
noted  speaker  as  Mrs  Pankhurst  to  address  the 
first  meeting  in  the  New  Year,  the  programme  for 
the  Spring  months  promises  to  be  equally  interest- 
ing. The  members  of  the  Association  will  have 
the  privilege  of  hearing  Mrs  Pankhurst  on  Thursday 
evening,  January  19,  in  Argyll  House. 


The   University   College   Alumni  Association 

The  hearty  and  enthusiastic  response  of  the 
University  College  graduates  to  the  suggestion  for 
the  formation  of  this  Association,  plainly  shows 
the  great  amount  of  latent  interest  in  University 
College  which  awaited  this  opportunity  to  express 
itself. 


The  officers  of  the  Association  have  prepared  a 
memorandum  of  suggestions  for  the  consideration 
of  the  Executive  of  the  Association  at  a  meeting 
to  be  held  in  a  few  days.  A  great  many  have  been 
mentioned  to  the  officers  as  being  worthy  of  con- 
sideration and  the  difficulty  at  first  will  be  to  choose 
subjects  of  most  pressing  character.  A  circular 
letter  was  sent  out  to  all  men  graduates  of  the 
College  during  the  second  week  of  December  and 
the  replies  to  date  have  been  very  encouraging. 
It  is  hoped  that  there  will  be  at  least  one  thousand 
paid  members  by  the  end  of  the  present  month. 

The  usefulness  of  this  and  kindred  associations 
has  become  manifest,  and  the  strength  of  any 
representations  we  may  make  regarding  the  College 
and  its  future  development  will  depend  largely 
upon  the  strength  of  our  organization. 

Matters  very  vitally  affecting  University  College 
are  to  be  taken  up  and,  therefore,  suggestions  from 
members  of  this  Association  to  the  officers  will  be 
gladly  received. 

Each  graduate  should  see  that  he  is  at  once  on  our 
member-roll  and  his  correct  address  and  occupation 
given.  All  should  do^their  utmost  to  urge  their 
classmates  to  take  part  in  the  movement  if  they 
have  not  already  joined  in.

Buffalo  Branch  Meets 

The  Buffalo  Branch  held  a  very  successful  meeting 
on  December  1,  the  chief  speaker  being  E.  W.  Mc- 
Intyre,  '90.  Mr  Mclntyre  is  President  of  the 
recently  formed  Canadian  Club  of  Buffalo.  It  was 
decided  to  offer  a  trophy  for  athletic  competition 
between  the  High  Schools  of  Ontario  and  Buffalo.

TWO  NEW  BOOKS  ANY  STUDENT 
OR  ALUMNUS  WILL  APPRECIATE 


By  Madame  Pantazzi 
ROUMANIA  IN   LIGHT  AND  SHADOW 

Madame  Pantazzi  is  a  Canadian  girl  who, 
a  number  of  years  ago,  went  to  find  a  home 
and  country  in  Roumania.  She  has  lived 
very  closely  to  all  classes  in  her  adopted  land 
and  has  had  some  remarkable  experiences 
which  are  most  ably  portrayed  in  the  book. 
This  volume,  by  the  way,  gives  probably  the 
best  picture  extant  of  Roumania  as  it  was 
before  the  war  and  to-day. 

A  large  book,  English  made,  280  pages, 
with  numerous  representative  illustrations, 
$5.00. 


By  Joseph  Conrad 
NOTES  OF  LIFE  AND  LETTERS 

This  book  presents  Conrad  in  something 
of  a  new  light  as  a  biographer,  essayist  and 
autobiographer.  To  those  who  love  Conrad's 
style  and  presentation  it  would  be  exceed- 
ingly acceptable.  His  treatment  of  con- 
temporary writers  is,  as  that  of  all  his  work, 
inimitable. 

Standard  format,  substantially  bound, 
$2.50.

WE  can  give  the  public 
no  better  proof  on 
paper  (the  real  proof 
lies  in  a  personal  test)  of  the 
popularity  of  "SALADA," 
than  to  say  that  great  quan- 
tities are  being  shipped  all 
the  time  to  almost  all  parts 
of  the  world.  These  sales 
are  made  solely  as  a  result 
of  "cup  test." 

It's  the  Flavour  that  counts

\Y/HEN  you  consider  that  manufactui  ng  Boilers

bility— When  you  bear  in  mind  that  we  are  the  largest

MOGUL  line  is  the  last  word  in  heating  boilers  ? 

Every  MOGUL  leaving  our  plant  is  inspected  by  a 
staff  of  specialists,  men  who  know  the  manufacture  of

Should  a  University  keep  in  touch  with  its  graduates  or  should  graduates 
keep  in  touch  with  the  University  ? 


"  It  is  not  the  intention  of  these  lines  to  suggest, 
as  the  opening  paragraphs  might,  that  the  relation 
of  Alumni  to  the  University  is  a  mere  matter  of 
dollars  and  cents.  The  real  obligation,  the  bond 
which  draws  us  irresistibly  to  the  University,  has 
no  such  sordid  foundation.  But  the  thought  it  is 
desired  to  suggest  is  that  the  University,  having  a 
real  and  acute  problem  of  dollars  and  cents,  a  prob- 
lem incurred  on  behalf  of  her  graduates  and  under- 
graduates, it  is  decidedly  an  obligation  upon 
every  graduate  and  undergraduate  to  assist  the 
University  in  solving  that  problem.  It  can  only 
be  solved  by  convincing  our  fellow  citizens  that 
University  education  is  not  only  a  good  investment, 
but  the  very  best  investment  the  Province  can 
make." — John  R.  Bone,  M.A.,  in  the  December 
"Monthy" 


The  University  of  Toronto  needs  the  support  of  every  graduate  in  forming  an

support.

AND 

COURSES    OF    INSTRUCTION 


In  the  educational  system  of  Ontario  provision  is  made  in  the  Courses 
of  Study  for  instruction  to  the  child  of  four  years  of  age  in  the  Kinder- 
garten up  to  the  person  of  unstated  age  who  desires  a  Technical  or 
Industrial  Course  as  a  preparation  for  special  fitness  in  a  trade  or  pro- 
fession. 

All  schools  established  under  the  Public  Schools  Act  shall  be  free 
Public  Schools,  and  every  person  between  the  ages  of  five  and  twenty- 
one  years,  except  persons  whose  parents  or  guardians  are  Separate 
School  supporters,  shall  have  the  right  to  attend  some  such  school  in  the 
urban  municipality  or  rural  school  section  in  which  he  resides.  Children 
between  the  ages  of  four  and  seven  years  may  attend  Kindergarten 
schools,  subject  to  the  payment  of  such  fees  as  to  the  Board  may  seem 
expedient.  Children  of  Separate  School  supporters  attend  the  Separate 
Schools. 

The  compulsory  ages  of  attendance  are  from  eight  to  fourteen  years 
and  provision  is  made  in  the  Statutes  for  extending  the  time  to  sixteen 
years  of  age,  and  also  to  eighteen  years  of  age,  under  conditions  stated 
in  The  Adolescent  School  Attendance  Act  of  1919. 

The  several  Courses  of  Study  in  the  educational  system  under  the 
Department  of  Education  are  taken  up  in  the  Kindergarten,  Public, 
Separate,  Continuation  and  High  Schools  and  Collegiate  Institutes,  and 
in  Industrial  and  Technical  Schools.  Copies  of  the  Regulations  regard- 
ing each  may  be  obtained  by  application  to  the  Deputy  Minister  of 
Education,  Parliament  Buildings,  Toronto.

Why  have  57,000  College  Men 

enrolled  in  the 

Alexander  Hamilton  Institute? 


fTIHE  President  of  the 
X  largest  institution  of  its 
kind  in  America — a  man 
still  in  his  forties — was 
commenting  on  his  own 
experience  in  business. 

"When  I  graduated  from  col- 
lege I  supposed  I  was  equipped 
with  the  training  necessary  to 
business  success,"  he  said. 

"As  a  matter  of  fact  I  had 
nothing  more  than  a  bare  foun- 
dation. I  discovered  that  fact 
even  in  my  first  job,  and  for 
weeks  I  spent  my  evenings  in  a 
night  school  trying  to  master 
the  elements  of  cost-finding  and 
accountancy. 

"Later  as  I  made  my  way  up 
toward  executive  positions  I 
found  I  needed  to  know  the 
fundamentals  of  sales  and  mer- 
chandising, of  advertising  and 
factory  management,  of  office 
organization  and  corporation 
finance. 

"These  I  picked  up  from  books 
as  best  I  could.  Probably  my 
college  training  made  it  easier 
for  me  to  acquire  them;  but  the 
college  training  alone  certainly 
was  not  an  adequate  preparation 
for  business  in  my  case.  I  doubt 
if  it  is  for  any  man." 

More  than  155,000  men 
in  11  years 

The  Alexander  Hamilton  Insti- 
tutte  was  not  founded  early 
enough  to  be  of  service  to  this 
man;  but  it  grew  out  of  an  ap- 
preciation of  the  needs  of  men 
of  just  this  type. 


In  the  eleven  years  of  its  exis- 
tence the  Institute  has  enrolled 
more  than  155,000  men  who  are 
today  making  more  rapid  pro- 
gress in  business  as  a  result  of 
its  training. 

Of  these  155,000  no  less  than 
57,000  are  graduates  of  colleges 
and  universities. 

This  is  the  Institute's  mark 
of  distinction — that  its  appeal 
is  to  the  unusual  man.  It  has 
only  one  Course,  embracing  the 
fundamentals  underlying  all 
business,  and  its  training  fits  a 
man  for  the  sort  of  executive 
positions  where  demand  always 
outruns  supply. 

The  splendid  privilege  of 
saving  wasted  years 

One  of  the  tragedies  of  the 
business  world  is  that  so  many 
college  men  spend  so  many  of 
the  best  years  of  their  lives  in 
doing  tasks  which  they  know  are 
below  their  real  capacities. 

It    is    the    privilege    of    the 
Institute  to  save  those  wasted 
years — to    give    a    man    in    the 
leisure  moments  of  a  few  months 
the  working  knowl- 
edge of  the  various 
departments     of 
modern   business 
which   would   ordi- 
narily take   him 
years  to  acquire. 

That  the  Insti- 
tute's ModernBusi- 
ness  Course  and 
Service  actually 


achieves  this  splendid  result, 
that  its  training  is  practical  and 
immediately  applicable  to  the 
problems  of  every  business, 
the  records  of  155,000  business 
men,  in  every  kind  of  business, 
prove. 

At  least  you  will  want 
the  facts 

Every  college  man  in  business 
is  interested  in  business  (raining. 
He  is  interested- in  it  either  as  a 
factor  in  his  own  progress;  or  as 
a  factor  in  the  progress  of  the 
younger  men  associated  with 
him,  who  are  constantly  turning 
to  him  for  advice. 

To  put  all  the  facts  regarding 
the  Modern  Business  Course 
and  Service  in  convenient  form 
the  Alexander  Hamilton  In- 
stitute has  prepared  a  120-page 
book,  entitled  "Forging  Ahead 
in  Business."  It  tells  concisely 
and  specifically  what  the  Course 
is  and  what  it  has  done  for  other 
men.  There  is  a  copy  of  this 
book  free  for  every  college  man 
in  business;  send  for  your  copy

News  and  Comments 


Plans  are  being  made  again  this  year  for 
a  dinner  on  the  evening  of  Commencement 
Day  (June  9)  for  the 
"Twos"  and  reunion  classes  in  Arts. 
" Sevens"  will  The  reunion  classes,  on 
meet  in  June  the  basis  established 
two  years  ago,  are  those 
which  will  celebrate  a  multiple-of-five  anni- 
versary—1872,  1877,  1882,  1887,  1892, 
1897,  1902,  1907,  1912,  1917. 

Already  a  number  of  classes  have  their 
arrangements  under  way.  The  fifty  year 
class  expects  to  have  an  almost  complete 
attendance  of  the  members.  S.  J.  McKee, 
of  Brandon,  has  written  to  his  classmates 
and  hopes  himself  to  be  present.  The 
other  surviving  members  of  the  '72  class 
are:  James  D.  Christie,  Simcoe;  W. 
Houston,  Mimico;  D.  A.  McMichael,  New 
York;  H.  J.Scott,  Toronto;  Elliott  Traver, 
Strathroy;  William  Williams,  Collingwood. 
Dr  Gibb  Wishart  and  Mr  Angus  Mac- 
Murchy  have  for  some  time  been  working 
on  the  list  of  members  of  the  '82  class  with 
a  view  to  having  a  full  attendance. 

Class  lists  with  addresses  of  members 
may  be  secured  on  application  to  the 
Alumni  Federation  Office,  184  College 
Street,  Toronto. 

"It  took  civilization  centuries  to  reach 

the   point   where   it  realized   that   'every 

child  has  a  right  to  be 

The  Need  for         well  born '.    It  is  taking 

Scholarships         still  longer  to  admit  that 

every  child  has  a  right 

to  be  well  educated." 

Such  is  the  opening  declaration  of  an 
interesting  bulletin  recently  issued  by  the 
University  on  "The  Need  for  Scholar- 
ships". Comparison  between  conditions 
in  England  and  in  Ontario  in  respect  to  the 
educational  opportunities  of  poor  students 
is  then  made,  much  to  the  detriment  of 
Ontario. 

In  England  there  are  a  great  many 
scholarships  donated  by  local  educational 
authorities.  For  the  years  1918-20  ap- 
proximately one-third  of  the  246,000  stu- 
dents attending  state  assisted  secondary 


schools  received  free  education.  Local 
authorities  awarded  53,460  "free  places", 
school  governors  16,548  and  2,378  were 
provided  out  of  special  endowments.  The 
English  attitude  toward  the  education  of 
the  promising  is  stated  thus  in  the  Educa- 
tional Act  of  1918:  "Adequate  provision 
shall  be  made  in  order  to  secure  that 
children  and  young  persons  shall  not  be 
debarred  from  receiving  the  benefit  of 
any  form  of  education  by  which  they  are 
capable  of  profiting,  through  inability  to 
pay  fees". 

Turning  to  the  situation  at  the  Univer- 
sity of  Toronto  it  is  found  that  scholarships 
are  few  and  that  the  student  dependent  on 
his  own  personal  resources  is  finding  his 
position  increasingly  difficult.  In  the 
Faculty  of  Arts,  with  an  enrolment  of  over 
2,000,  there  are  only  forty-eight  scholar- 
ships. Not  only  are  undergraduate  scholar- 
ships required  to  assist  needy  students  of 
promise  but  graduate  scholarships  and 
fellowships  are  urgently  needed  to  further 
the  cause  of  research  and  the  building  up 
in  Canada  of  a  graduate  school  which  will 
stem  the  "export  of  brains". 

There  can  be  no  doubt  that  the  increased 

cost  of  higher  education  is  effecting  great 

changes  in  the  student 

Is  Higher  body  of  the  University. 

Education  The  student  who  "works 

becoming  a  his  way  through  "  is  fast 

Prerogative  disappearing,  from    the 

of  the  Rich?          more  expensive  faculties 

at  least. 

In  the  Faculty  of  Medicine  $750  may 
be  regarded  as  a  practical  minimum  student 
budget  (fees  $165,  books  and  instruments 
$65,  living  expenses,  clothes  and  incidentals 
$520.)  On  this  basis  $4,500  would  be 
required  to  complete  the  six  year  course. 
Expenses  in  the  faculties  of  Arts  and 
Applied  Science  are  somewhat  iower  but 
in  the  Dental  College  they  are  still  higher 
than  in  Medicine.  On  the  whole  students 
to-day  cannot  depend  on  their  summer 
earnings  to  do  more  than  see  them  through 
the  first  three  months  of  the  session.

UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO  MONTHLY 


Those  without  outside  sources  of  income 
find  it  necessary  to  break  their  courses 
many  times  before  graduating. 

It  is  difficult  to  see  how  the  problem  of 
the  poor  man's  son  desirous  of  a  university 
education  can  be  solved  unless  large  sums 
of  money  are  forthcoming  from  private 
or  public  sources  for  the  establishment  of 
bursaries  and  scholarships.  The  Univer- 
sity cannot  at  present  afford  to  reduce  the 
tuition  fees — -in  fact  it  may  be  necessary 
to  increase  them ;  courses  cannot  be 
shortened  without  a  serious  lowering  of 
standards,  and  the  cost  of  living  is  not 
likely  to  decrease  greatly  in  a  city  of 
Toronto's  population. 

The  University  by  reason  of  its  poverty 
is  in  danger  of  losing  something  of  its 
democracy. 


Conferences  addressed  by  professors 
from  other  universities  and  designed  to 

awaken  the  interest  of 
Departmental  the  student  body  and 
Conferences  sections  of  the  public 
are  Successful  in  specific  subjects,  are 

one  of  the  recent  inno- 
vations established  at  the  University. 
Last  spring  a  Conference  in  .Physics  was 
held,  and  during  the  third  week  of  January 
of  this  year  a  three  days'  philosophical 
conference  was  assembled.  These  con- 
ferences were  very  successful  and  it  is 
likely  that  they  will  be  followed  by  others 
of  a  similar  nature  in  other  subjects  next 
year. 

Four  out-of-town  professors  were  present 
and  gave  lectures  at  the  Conference  in 
Philosophy:  Professor  Hocking,  Harvard; 
Professor  Shastri,  Calcutta;  Professor 
Woodbridge,  Columbia;  Professor  Creigh- 
ton,  Cornell.  The  primary  object  of  the 
Conference  was  to  give  to  the  students  in 
Honour  Philosophy  a  new  zest  in  their 
work,  from  contact  with  other  professors; 
but  of  almost  equal  importance  was  the 
purpose  of  providing  an  opportunity  for 
graduates  and  others  interested  in  philo- 
sophical matters  to  hear  of  the  latest 
developments  in  the  subject. 

Papers  were  read  during  the  regular 
lecture  hours  of  the  day,  and  evening 
sessions  of  a  more  popular  nature  were 
held  in  the  large  lecture  room  of  the  Mining 
Building.  Capacity  audiences  were  pre- 
sent at  the  evening  sessions. 


As  a  result  of  a  conference  between  repre- 
sentatives of  Toronto,  Queen's,  Western 

and  McM aster  univer- 
Matriculation  sities,  the  matriculation 
Standard  to  standard  for  Ontario  is 
be  Raised  to  be  raised.  The  new 

requirements  may  be 
met  either  by  taking  a  high  standing  in 
the  Junior  Matriculation  examination  or 
by  securing  Honour  Matriculation  standing 
in  a  number  of  subjects.  On  the  Junior 
Matriculation  examination,  75%  must 
be  secured  in  four  subjects  or  66%  in  six 
subjects.  By  this  ruling  the  brilliant 
student  may  matriculate  without  spending 
more  than  four  years  in  high  school.  Pupils 
who  do  not  reach  this  standard  on  the 
Junior  Matriculation  examination,  must 
take  further  high  school  work  and  secure 
Honour  Matriculation  standing  in  at  least 
two  subjects.  The  new  standard  will 
obtain  in  all  faculties  of  the  universities. 
For  entrance  into  the  honour  courses  in 
Arts  still  higher  standards  are  required  at 
Toronto. 

The  raising  of  the  Matriculation  stan- 
dard is  a  move  in  the  direction  of  relieving 
the  universities  of  a  certain  amount  of 
elementary  teaching  which  can  be  done 
more  economically  and  perhaps  more 
efficiently  in  the  high  schools.  It  should 
relieve  to  some  extent  the  congestion  in 
the  first  year  pass  courses  and  enable  the 
universities  to  confine  their  efforts  to  work 
which  is  of  a  more  strictly  university 
grade. 

An  excellent  example  of  what  systematic 
effort  can  accomplish  in  the  dissemination 
of  university  news  is 
Publicity  at  found  in  the  work  car- 
Cornell  ried  on  at  Cornell  Uni- 
versity in  scattering 
abroad  information  regarding  the  inaugura- 
tion of  President  Farrand  and  the  laying 
of  the  corner  stone  of  a  new  Chemistry 
Building  on  October  20. 

From  press  clippings  it  was  ascertained 
that  news  articles  six  inches  or  longer,  had 
been  published  in  daily  papers  with  a  com- 
bined circulation  of  24,000,000.  In  addi- 
tion to  this  there  were  numerous  shorter 
accounts  in  other  daily  papers  and  a  two- 
thousand  word  article  in  1,500  weekly 
papers;  125  illustrations  were  carried  in 
103  newspapers  printed  in  twenty-nine 
states  with  a  total  circulation  of  10,000,000;

moving  picture  films  were  distributed 
throughout  the  whole  of  the  United  States 
and  Canada  by  the  Pathe  Weekly  and  by 
two  film  distributing  companies. 

Some  may  ask:  "To  what  end  this  wide- 
spread publicity?  Of  what  real  value  was 
it  to  Cornell  University?" 

However  much  opinion  may  vary  on  the. 
question  of  values,  it  is  safe  to  say  that  a 
quarter  of  the  population  of  the  United 
States  were  acquainted  with  the  fact  that 
the  University  had  chosen  a  man  of  out- 
standing scholarship  and  recognized  ability 
as  its  President,  and  that  George  F.  Baker, 
Chairman  of  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the 
First  National  Bank,  had  donated  a  new 
$1,500,000  Chemistry  Building;  and  that 
Cornellians  the  continent  over,  in  reading 
of  the  proceedings,  found  their  interest  in 
the  alma  mater  revived. 

At  least  as  much  may  be  said  of  univer- 
sity news  items  of  a  general  character. 
The  public  are  made  acquainted  with  the 
facts  and  the  interest  of  graduates  and 
friends  is  revived. 

Further,  does  not  a  university  benefit 
fundamentally  when  someone  rendering 
an  outstanding  service  is  hailed  as  a 
graduate,  or  when  some  discovery  is 
credited  in  the  public  mind  to  a  member 
of  its  staff?  Is  it  not  well  that  the  public 
should  know  of  its  work  and  accord  to  it 
the  credit  and  honour,  which  is  due  it? 

Privately  endowed  universities  find  sys- 
tematic publicity  the  very  backbone  of 
their  prosperity.  Baker's  gift  to  Cornell, 
widely  known,  inspires  confidence  in  the 
institution  and  suggests  to  others  the 
making  of  similar  benefactions. 

State  supported  universities  surely  can- 
not afford  to  lag  behind.  To  be  unnoticed 
is  to  be  for  the  most  part  forgotten,  and 
to  be  forgotten  is,  for  a  public  institution, 
disastrous.

of  the  Ontario  Agricultural  College,  Mr 
Good  returned  to  his  farm  near  Brantford 
and  undertook  practical  farming  as  a 


profession.  He  has  been  very  prominent 
in  agricultural  movements  in  Ontario, 
having  been  one  of  the  organizers  of  the 
U.F.O.,  and  since  has  been  closely  identi- 
fied with  all  its  activities.  At  the  recent 
elections  he  was  'elected  to  the  House  of 
Commons  on  the  Progressive  ticket.  He

has  made  special  study  of  economic  ques- 
tions viewed  from  the  farmers'  standpoint 
and  has  written  much  on  the  subject. 

Mr  Good's  appointment  has  been  wel- 
comed at  the  University  and  will  meet 
with  the  approval  of  the  graduates  who 
know  of  his  sterling  qualities.

veyor,  municipal  engineer,  landscape  gar- 
dener, and  it  was  also  open  to  members  of 
the  town-planning  commissions,  civic 
guilds,  and  to  the  general  public.  There 
was  an  attendance  of  fifty-one,  of  whom 
twenty-five  per  cent  were  from  out  of 
town.  Six  Ontario  municipalities  outside 
Toronto  were  represented,  and  two  stu- 
dents came  from  Alberta.  The  course 
consisted  of  lectures,  discussions,  the 
working  of  actual  problems  and  research. 
Sir  Robert  Falconer  and  Mr  J.  P.  Hynes, 
President  of  the  Ontario  Town  Planning 
and  Housing  Association,  addressed  the 
students  and  lectures  were  given  by  Pro- 
fessors C.  H.  C.  Wright,  Adrian  Berrington, 
W.  M.  Treadgold,  J.  A.  Dale  and  R.  M. 
Maclver.  Lectures  were  given  also  by 
eminent  experts  from  outside  of  the 
University. 

SIR  BERTRAM  WINDLE'S  weekly  lectures 
in  the  Physics  Building  have  been  re- 
markably successful.  He  has  dealt  wijh 
the  influence  of  St.  Augustine  on  early 
Britain,  and  the  decline  of  civilization  con- 
sequent to  the  departure  of  the  Roman 
legions.  From  that  point  he  went  on  to 
discuss  the  origin  of  the  Norman  races, 
their  invasion  of  England  and  the  in- 
fluence of  their  great  organizing  ability 
and  building  activities  on  England.  In 
the  remaining  eight  lectures  of  the  series, 
Sir  Bertram  will  discuss  further  steps  in 
the  development  of  mediaeval  England 
until  the  Tudor  period.  The  lectures 
take  place  every  Friday  afternoon  at 
4.30  p.m.  and  are  made  still  more  instruc- 
tive by  the  use  of  admirable  lantern  slides. 


TRIBUTE  WAS  PAID  to  its  founder,  Dr 
Strachan,  first  Bishop  of  Toronto,  by 
Trinity  College  on  January  15,  the  occasion 
of  the  seventieth  anniversary  of  the 
College's  inauguration.  Prayers  of  thanks- 
giving were  said  at  the  morning  service  in 
the  Chapel,  accompanied  by  special  music 
throughout.  In  the  evening  at  dinner 
Professor  A.  H.  Young,  dean  of  residence, 
in  proposing  the  toast  to  the  College, 
briefly  sketched  Bishop  Strachan's  career 
and  aims,  and  pointed  out  the  great  debt 
which  Trinity  owes  to  his  work.  Bishop 
Strachan  believed  that  a  combination  of 
religious  and  secular  education  was  the 
only  true  ideal  for  a  university  and  that 
the  best  results  were  achieved  in  a  college 
that  was  essentially  a  home.  These  are 


the  ideals  that  Trinity  College  has  learned 
to  cherish  and  is  prepared  to  hand  on  to 
future  generations  as  a  goodly  heritage. 

THREE  NEW  EXTENSION  COURSES  in 
Household  Science  have  been  arranged  by 
the  Department  of  University  Extension. 
One  is  practically  a  continuation  of  the 
Foods  and  Diets  course  that  was  given  last 
term.  The  second  is  a  repetition  of  that 
course  and  is  intended  for  those  who,  on 
account  of  lack  of  accommodation  were 
unable  ^  to  enter  those  classes.  The  third 
course  is  an  experiment  and  is  being  started 
at  the  request  of  an  association  of  thirty 
Household  Science  teachers  in  the  city, 
and  aims  to  keep  them  in  touch  with  new 
discoveries  and  developments  in  their  work. 


ARRANGEMENTS  FOR  PURCHASING  a  per- 
manent exhibition  of  Canadian  pictures 
for  Hart  House  are  being  made  by  the 
Picture  Committee  of  the  Sketch  Club. 
Heretofore  the  system  of  borrowing  pic- 
tures which  have  been  exhibited  at  the 
Toronto  Art  Gallery  has  been  followed 
and  if  this  is  to  be  continued  it  seems  only 
fair  that  one  or  more  large  canvases  should 
be  purchased  each  year.  It  is  suggested 
that  each  graduating  year  present  a  picture 
to  Hart  House.  In  this  way  quite  a  notable 
collection  of  Canadian  art  may  be  built  up 
in  the  course  of  a  generation  or  so. 


PROFESSOR  A.  L.  LANGFORD  has  resigned 
from  the  position  of  Register  of  Victoria 
College,  a  post  which  he  has  held  con- 
tinuously since  1908.  The  appointment 
has  been  made  of  Professor  C.  E.  Auger  to 
fill  the  vacancy.  Professor  Langford  will 
continue  to  occupy  the  chair  of  Greek 
Language  and  Literature  and  to  lecture  in 
this  subject. 


A  NEW  SECTION  has  been  started  in  the 
Varsity  under  the  caption  "Graduates  of 
Note",  the  object  of  which  apparently  is 
to  stimulate  the  undergraduate  mind  by 
brief  sketches  of  the  lives  of  prominent 
alumni.  The  first  two  men  of  the  series 
were  Sir  John  Gibson  and  Sir  William 
Mulock,  the  two  surviving  members  of 
the  class  of  '63.  The  Varsity  emphasizes 
the  fact  that  one  of  the  outstanding  fea- 
tures of  their  lives  is  the  close  connection 
which  they  have  maintained  with  the 
University.

Farmers'  Short  Course  which  is  to  be  held 
February  6-17,  indicates  that  the  attend- 
ance this  year  will  be  very  much  larger  than 
last  year.  Household  Science  and  Psych- 
ology are  to  be  added  to  the  Course. 


PROFESSOR    GEORGE    M.    WRONG    has 
written   a   history   of   Canada   which    has 
been  published  by  the  Ontario  Department 
of  Education  as  a  public  school 
text  book.     The  book  is  illus- 
trated by  Mr  C.  W.  Jeffries  in 
an  exceedingly  interesting  and 
instructive   manner.      Professor 
Wrong    traces    the    history    of 
Canada  down  to  the  Treaty  of

by     Canadian     representatives, 
he  hails  as  a  mark  of  nationhood

order  that  lungs  may  not  develop  faster 
than  minds,  the  community  singing  will

by  Mr  W.  M.  Whitelaw. 


A  NEW  AND  DRASTIC  REGU- 
LATION regarding  the  first  year 
Arts  will  come  into  force  next 
session.  By  this  regulation  no 
student  who  has  failed  to  obtain 
standing  in  the  Pass  Course  at 
•the  annual  examinations  will  be 
allowed  to  repeat  the  year, 
unless  his  case  is  approved  by 
the  Council  of  the  Faculty  of 
Arts.  Up  to  the  present  stud- 
ents have  been  allowed  to  re- 
peat the  year  once.  The  result 
of  this  regulation  will  be  the 
elimination  of  the  student  who 
comes  to  College  merely  for  a 
good  time. 


THE  NEWMAN  CLUB  has  taken 
up  its  new  quarters  in  the  old 
Matthews'  residence  at  the  cor- 
ner of  St.  George  Street  and 
Hoskin  Avenue.  It  is  the  in- 
tention of  the  directors  of  the 
Club  that  the  house  shall  be  a 
residence  for  students  and  as  a 
result  plans  are  being  made  for  the  erection 
of  a  suitable  hall,  library,  chapel  and 
dormitory  in  the  near  future. 


THE     IMPORTANCE     OF     THE     EXTENSION

"THE  University  of  Toronto  will   shortly

1922-23  to  the  Government. 

All  graduates  who  are  hazy  regarding 
the  facts  of  the  University's  requirements 
should  read  carefully  and  fix  in  their  minds 
the  data  contained  in  President  Falconer's

maintain  its  present  standards. 

In  presenting  its  requests  to  the  Govern- 
ment the  University  will  urge  the  adoption 
of  the  1921  University  Commission's 
Report  as  a  permanent  solution  of  the 
problem.  The  immediate  requirements 
as  set  forth  in  the  President's  article  are 
substantially  what  would  result  from  the 
adoption  of  this  report. 

As  it  effects  the  University  of  Toronto 
the  core  of  the  Commission's  Report  is 
the  recommendation  that  one-half  the 
succession  duties  received  by  the  Province 
be  set  aside  for  its  maintenance.  The 
only  other  suggestion  for  the  maintenance 
of  the  University  which  has  been  put 
forward  is  that  grants  should  be  passed 
annually  by  the  Legislature.  In  theory, 
this  legislative  grant  proposal  seems  rea- 
sonable but  there  are  at  least  two  ineradic- 
able difficulties  which  stand  in  the  way 
of  its  successful  operation. 

One  is  that  the  work  of  the  University 
is  so  complex  and  far-reaching  that  without 
a  great  deal  of  special  study  it  is  impossible 
for  anyone  to  form  intelligent  opinions 
of  its  needs.  It  is  unreasonable  to  expect 
that  the  members  of  our  Legislature  will 
be  possessed  of  sufficient  detailed  know- 
ledge of  the  University  to  enable  them  to 
discuss  its  budget  in  a  discerning  way. 
This  may  sound  undemocratic,  but,  with- 


out any  disparagement  to  our  representa- 
tives in  the  Legislature,  it  is  true. 

State-Owned  University  must  not  be  made 

to  compete  with  other  Universities 

for  Public  Funds. 

The  other  objection  to  the  legislative 
grant  plan  has  its  foundation  in  the 
peculiar  position  in  which  Ontario  finds 
itself  in  regard  to  government-aided  uni- 
versities. Here  we  have  the  singular 
situation  of  one  provincial  university  and 
two  other  universities  which  are  fully 
entitled  to  assistance.  What  would  be 
the  result  if  all  three  were  dependent  on 
yearly  legislative  grants?  We  would  have 
the  impossible  situation  of  the  state-, 
owned  and  'state-controlled  university 
competing  annually  with,  privately  con- 
trolled universities  for  the  goodwill  of 
the  Legislature.  On  higher  educational 
matters  the  Province  would  be  divided 
geographically.  There  would  be  strife 
among  the  universities  and  lobbying  in 
the  legislature  and  the  bringing  to  bear 
of  all  sorts  of  sinister  influences.  No 
university  wants  this;  and  surely  no 
government. 

The  responsibility  of  the  Province  to 
Queen's  and  Western  rests  upon  the  work 
which  these  Universities  are  doing.  The 
responsibility  of  the  Province  to  the 
University  of  Toronto  rests  upon  no  such 
thing.  It  rests  upon  the  fact  that  the  Uni- 
versity of  Toronto  is  a  government  institution; 
as  such  it  is  the  duty  of  the  government  to 
see  that  it  is  maintained  at  a  standard 
commensurate  with  the  ideals  of  the  Province. 

Coming  to  the  question  of  the  succession 
duties  plan  for  maintenance  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  Toronto,  as  embodied  in  the 
University  Act  of  1906  and  recommended 
again  without  the  $500,000  limitation 
clause,  by  the  Commission  of  1921,  we 
are  of  the  opinion  that  maturer  thought

will    conclude   that   the   objections    to   it 
are  theoretical  rather  than  practical. 

Statutory  Grant  does  not  do  away  with 

Governors'  Immediate  Responsibility 

to  the  Government. 

Many  people  seem  to  be  of  the  impres- 
sion that  the  plan  involves  the  Province 
turning  over  one  half  the  succession  duties 
to  the  Governors  of  the  University  to  do 
what  they  wished  with  the  money.  This 
is  entirely  erroneous.  Under  the  old  Act 
the  Governors  had  to  go  each  year  to  the 
Cabinet  and  have  their  budget  approved 
before  money  was  paid  over.  There  is 
no  intention  to  change  this  arrangement. 
The  University  would  still  be  directly  and 
entirely  responsible  to  the  Government. 

Another  objection  raised  was  that  the 
succession  duties  percentage  was  variable 
and  might  increase  beyond  or  decrease 
below  the  University's  requirements.  But 
this  objection  is  theoretical,  too.  The 
Legislature  would  always  have  power  to 
retain  the  difference- — if  such  there  were — 
between  the  amount  of  the  approved 
University  budget  and  the  amount  set 
aside  from  the  succession  duties,  or  on  the 
other  hand  to  supplement  the  succession 
duties  percentage  if  such  fell  short;  or 
indeed  to  vary  the  percentage  allotted. 

Government  financing  to-day  is  difficult. 
Graduates  and  friends  of  the  University 
will  sympathize  with  the  Ontario  Govern- 
ment which  has  been  called  Upon  for 
unusually  large  amounts  of  money  for 
public  undertakings  and  will  laud  all  wise 
economies.  But  the  majority  will  feel 
that  a  too  rigid  economy  in  matters  of 
education  is  exceedingly  dangerous.  It 
may  mean  mortgaging  the  future. 

If  public  opinion  were  well  informed 
regarding  university  matters  we  would 
have  no  occasion  to  worry  about  the 
future  of  the  University  of  Toronto.  The 
people  of  Ontario  want  their  Provincial 
University  to  stand  with  the  best.  And 
this  can  be  attained  without  extravagance. 

But  the  difficulty  is  that  public  opinion 
is  not  well  informed.  The  University 
question  is  complex  and  has  some  rami- 
fications. The  people  of  the  Province 
are  looking  to  those  who  have  first  hand 
knowledge  of  the  work  of  the  University 
for  .leadership  and  light.  The  10,000 
graduates  resident  in  the  Province  have 
it  in  their  power  to  solve  the  problem. 


Engineering  Research 
Shows  Healthy  Growth 

SEVENTEEN  PAPERS  PUBLISHED 
IN  BULLETIN  No.  2. 

The  School  of  Engineering  Research  is 
enjoying  a  healthy  and  steady  growth. 
It  is  performing  an  exceedingly  valuable 
service  to  Industry  in  the  improvement 
of  manufacturing  processes,  and  to  the 
Faculty  of  Applied  Science  in  giving  its 
staff  and  senior  students  the  opportunity 
to  do  original  work. 

The  School  is  organized  under  the 
Faculty  of  Applied  Science  and  is  con- 
trolled by  a  committee  consisting  chiefly 
of  the  heads  of  departments.  The  re- 
searches are  carried  on  by  members  of  the 
staff,  by  graduate  students,  and  in  a  lesser 
degree  by  undergraduates  of  the  fourth 
year.  The  School  receives  appropriations 
from  the  so-called  President's  Research 
Fund  which  is  administered  by  the  Board 
of  Governors. 

From  time  to  time  papers  embodying 
the  result  of  researches  are  printed  and 
distributed,  according  to  the  subject  dis- 
cussed, to  scientific  journals,  schools, 
manufacturers,  and  to  other  interested 
individuals.  Once  each  year  a  combined 
bulletin  is  issued  containing  all  the  papers 
which  have  been  published  during  the 
previous  twelve  months.  This  bulletin 
goes  chiefly  to  libraries  and  to  persons  who 
have  a  general  interest  in  research. 

Bulletin  No.  2  which  contains  accounts 
of  the  investigations  carried  on  during 
1920-1921  has  just  been  issued.  It  con- 
tains seventeen  papers  on  six  major  sub- 
jects— Aero  Dynamics,  Mechanical  En- 
gineering, Sewage  Disposal,  Current  Trans- 
formers, Structural  Design,  and  Concrete 
Mixtures.  Many  of  the  papers  have 
already  received  a  wide  distribution,  re- 
quests for  copies  of  the  papers  on  Current 
Transformers  having  been  received  from 
almost  every  part  of  the  world. 

This  year  some  ten  major  investigations 
are  being  carried  on.  * 

One  of  the  practical  achievements, 
though  of  a  minor  character,  of  the  School 
work  is,  the  discovery  of  two  satisfactory 
colours  for  the  new  C.E.  degree  hood. 
Dr  Boswell  in  his  dye  experiments  evolved 
a  particularly  fine  rose  tint  which  will  be 
used  along  with  the  University  blue. 


Immediate  Financial  Needs  of  the  University 

By  SIR  ROBERT  FALCONER 
PRESIDENT,  UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO 


The  Editor  of  THE  UNIVERSITY  OF 
TORONTO  MONTHLY  suggests  that  the 
Alumni  would  be  interested  in  a  brief 
answer  to  the  question  "What  are  the 
immediate  needs  of  the  Provincial 
University?" 

In  replying  to  this  question  it  must  be 
said  that  the  first,  the  greatest,  and  the 
most  immediate  need  is  an  assured  and 
adequate  income.  To  plan  successfully 
for  the  future  development  of  a  great 
university  is  an  impossible  task  when 
there  is  no  means  of  forecasting  the  amount 
of  money  that  will  be  available  for  neces- 
sary expansion.  The  state  universities  in 
the  United  States,  where  the  usual  form  of 
state  aid  is  a  tax  levied  directly  for  univer- 
sity purposes,  can  lay  their  plans  for  at 
least  two  years  in  advance  because  they 
have  the  assurance  of  the  size  of  the 
revenues  upon  which  they  can  rely.  The 
University  of  Toronto  has  been  for  several 
years  in  the  position  of  being  able  to  see 
not  more  than  one  year  ahead  so  far  as 
money  is  concerned.  This  has  been  a 
great  handicap.  To  overcome  this  handi- 
cap the  Report  of  the  Royal  Commission 
on  University  Finances  recommended  last 
year  that  the  University's  income  be 
based  on  the  revenue  derived  from  suc- 
cession duties,  because  it  is  a  fair  assump- 
tion that  the  growth  of  the  University 
will  be  in  direct  proportion  to  the  growth 
of  the  wealth  of  the  people  of  the  Province. 

But,  it  may  be  asked,  what  does  the 
Provincial  University  need  in  actual  money 
at  the  present  moment?  Four  new  build- 
ings are  long  overdue;  they  should  all  be 
commenced  immediately.  A  new  Forestry 
and  Botany  building  is  an  urgent  need. 
Canada  needs  foresters,  needs  them  now, 
and  will  need  them  increasingly  in  the 
next  decade.  To  train  foresters  for  this 
great  country  in  a  few  rooms  of  a  re- 
habilitated private  residence,  where  neither 
space  nor  facilities  are  available  for  the 
work,  is  impossible.  Conditions  in  the 
present  Forestry  and  Botany  building  are 
almost  intolerable  and  hamper  the  staff 
to  a  disheartening  degree. 

Unless  some  relief  in  accommodation 
can  be  provided  almost  immediately, 


University  College  must  continue  to  exist 
under  conditions  that  constitute,  to  say 
the  least,  a  grave  injustice.  More  class- 
rooms, larger  classrooms  and,  perhaps  most 
important  of  all,  better- ventilated  class- 
rooms are  absolutely  essential. 

The  present  heating  plant  is  seriously 
overtaxed  in  heating  the  buildings  now  in 
use.  A  supplementary  plant  is  needed 
and,  without  such  addition,  no  new 
buildings  can  be  heated  and  lighted. 

Under  conditions  as  they  exist  women 
students  are  denied  the  advantages  to 
which  university  women  are  entitled.  They 
need  a  gymnasium,  a  women's  union,  and 
residences. 

The  four  buildings  mentioned  are  needed 
now.  To  build  them  $1,500,000  spread 
over  the  next  three  years  will  be  necessary. 
It  is  difficult  to  see  how  the  University 
can  attempt  to  do  its  duty  to  the  Province 
unless  these  are  at  once  provided.  And 
other  buildings  are  scarcely  less  urgently 
required. 

In  addition  to  new  buildings,  an  aug- 
mented revenue  for  maintenance  is  essen- 
tial. An  increase  of  $200,000  per  annum 
for  the  next  three  years  should  be  available 
to  meet  the  growing  requirements.  Even 
though  standards  are  raised,  a  growing 
Province-will  probably  send  more  students 
each  year  to  the  Provincial  University. 
Research  is  not  yet  adequately  provided 
for.  The  recent  meetings  of  the  American 
Association  for  the  Advancement  of  Science 
furnish  abundant  evidence  of  the  way  in 
which  research  contributes  to  every  phase 
of  the  national  life.  ,More  and  still  more 
money  must  be  provided  for  this  type  of 
work.  Many  departments  are  under- 
staffed; the  library  requires  a  greatly 
increased  revenue.  The  Province  demands 
more  university  extension  service  of  the 
type  which  the  universities  in  Great 
Britain  and  the  United  States  supply 
to  their  constituencies  and  extension  work 
is  necessarily  expensive. 

Such  are,  in  brief,  the  immediate  and 
pressing  needs  of  the  University  of  Toronto. 
It  may  be  of  interest  to  the  Alumni  and 
friends  of  the  University  to  know  that, 
had  the  arrangement  of  1906  regarding  the

University's  share  of  the  succession  duties 
been  still  in  force,  this  University  would 
now  be  receiving  annually  a  little  more 
than  has  been  suggested  above  as  a  neces- 
sary minimum. 

And  the  Provincial  University  has  a 
lower  cost  per  student  than  most,  if  not 
all,  universities  of  similar  size.  This  has 
frequently  been  demonstrated.  Sir  Alfred 


Ewing,  Principal  and  Vice-Chancellor  of 
the  University  of  Edinburgh,  in  an  address 
delivered  recently,  stated  that  the  average 
cost  per  student  for  the  26,000  students 
in  Great  Britain,  exclusive  of  those  in 
Oxford  and  Cambridge,  is  $293.  In  the 
University  of  Toronto  this  average  cost 
is  $279. 


The  Village  Pump  Conception  of  a  University 

Education. 

By  E.  W.  BEATTY  '98 
PRESIDENT,  CANADIAN  PACIFIC  RAILWAY 


THE   article    "Does   Higher   Education 
Pay  the   Province?"*   throws  down 
a   challenge    to    the    alumni    of    the 
University  of  Toronto.     As  a  graduate  of 
that  university,   I  am  asked  to  take  up 
that  challenge. 

In  the  first  place,  the  writer  of  the 
article  seems  to  place  a  university  edu- 
cation in  the  same  category  as  a  village 
pump,  a  local  fixture  intended  for  the 
villagers  who  have  paid  for  it.  In  the 
second  place  it  asks  the  alumni  to  perform 
a  duty  which  is  more  properly  that  of  the 
Board  of  Governors.  The  fact  that  a 
graduate  of  past  years  admits  he  has 
benefitted  by  his  education  at  the  Uni- 
versity of  Toronto  has  only  an  indirect 
bearing  on  the  question  of  whether  the 
Ontario  taxpayers  should  support  that 
university  now.  That  graduate  may  or 
may  not  have  achieved  financial  success, 
may  or  may  not  ascribe  his  success  to  his 
university  training,  may  or  may  not  be 
contributing  to  the  prosperity  of  Ontario, 
but  the  vital  questions  remain  "Is  that 
training  still  efficient,  still  up-to-date, 
still  as  good  as  that  of  other  Canadian 
universities?  Is  it  accessible  to  the  poor 
man  or  is  it  the  privilege  of  the  few?  Has 
it  a  bearing  on  practical  life  or  does  it 
fit  a  man  only  for  life  in  the  clouds?" 

"This  article  was  printed  in  the  December  issue 
of  THE  MONTHLY.  It  was  pointed  out  that  Uni- 
versity education  is  provided  at  less  than  cost  and 
that  therefore  a  special  obligation  rests  upon 
graduates,  and  argued  that  if  it  could  be  con- 
clusively demonstrated  that  it  was  to  the  benefit  of 
the  Province  to  thus  provide  higher  education,  the 
problem  of  University  finances  would  automatically 
solve  itself. 


As  to  the  first  point,  the  "village  pump" 
conception  of  a  university  education  surely 
fails  to  realize  the  proper  function  of  a 
university,  namely,  to  fit  its  graduates 
for  professions  which  are  of  benefit  to 
their  fellow  citizens  and  to  humanity  at 
large.  Under  the  British  North  America 
Act,  education  was  entrusted  to  the  tender 
mercies  of  the  Provincial  Governments  as 
trustees  for  the  people  within  their  bound- 
aries, not  with  the  idea  that  they  should 
educate  their  people  merely  for  the  benefit 
of  their  province,  but  to  relieve  the  Federal 
Administration  of  duties  which  the  pro- 
vinces had  had  experience  in  fulfilling. 
Just  as  a  parent  is  expected  to  give  his 
children  a  reasonable  start  in  life,  so  the 
province  is  naturally  expected  to  do  the 
same  for  its  citizens,  providing  special 
educational  opportunities  for  those  of 
special  ability.  The  success  of  his  child 
repays  the  average  parent  through  the 
pride  it  inspires,  infinitely  more  than  any 
return  of  cash  expended,  and  surely  a 
university  is  considered  to  justify  itself 
by  the  reputation  of  its  degrees  and  the 
achievements  of  its  graduates.  The  uni- 
versity that  honours  its  graduates  in 
proportion  to  the  cash  they  return  has 
the  soul  of  a  pawnbroker.  A  well 
brought  up  child  naturally  sees  that  its 
parents  do  not  come  to  grief,  and  out  of 
sheer  affection  delights  to  help  them. 
An  occasional  reminder  of  their  relation- 
ship does  no  harm1.  But  a  parent  has 
duties  as  well  as  rights,  and  it  is  the  duty 
of  any  Government  entrusted  with  the 
control  of  education  in  a  civilized  nation 
of  to-day  to  provide  education  of  the  very 


198 


UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO  MONTHLY 


best,  or  else  lose  the  right  to  exercise  a 
function  which  it  has  not  properly  fulfilled. 
As  to  the  second  point,  instead  of  de- 
pending on  the  sentimental  endorsation  of 
graduates  scattered  all  over  the  Continent, 
indeed  over  the  world,  surely  the  best  way 
to  convince  the  taxpayers  of  Ontario  is  to 
show  them  that  the  education  provided  by 
the  University  of  Toronto  is  good,  prac- 
tical, and  accessible  to  all  who  have 
talent.  If  the  taxpayers  cannot  come  to 
the  University  and  see  for  themselves,  tell 
them  the  story  in  moving  pictures,  in 
the  newspapers,  in  pamphlets,  in  speeches 
and  addresses  to  clubs,  churches  and 
institutions.  If  the  University  can  show 
it  provides  teaching  capable  of  producing 
good  doctors,  dentists,  mining,  mechanical 
and  civil  engineers,  lawyers,  architects, 
teachers,  out  of  their  sons  and  daughters, 
the  people  of  Ontario  will  not  stop  to  ask 
whether  the  graduates  are  to  give  the 
benefits  of  their  teaching  to  Ontario  or 
to  %  the  Yukon.  Unless  they  have  very 
much  changed  since  I  lived  in  Ontario 
the  people  of  that  province  will  be  glad 
to  support  their  universities  out  of  patriotic 
pride  and  in  the  belief  that  they  are  doing 
the  right  thing.  They  will  be  perfectly 
content  to  see  the  graduates  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  Toronto  go  into  the  world, 
build  bridges  in  Alberta,  cure  patients  in 
British  Columbia,  fill  teeth  in  Quebec,  win 
cases  before  the  Privy  Council  in  London, 
preach  the  gospel  to  white,  black  or  yellow 
without  asking  whether  Ontario  is  getting 


a  return  with   or  without  interest  in   its 
original  investment. 

In  the  last  analysis,  the  problem  of 
whether  it  pays  or  not  for  a  province  to 
educate  her  citizens  at  less  than  cost  to 
it,  depends  upon  what  value  is  attached  to 
higher  education.  In  my  opinion,  the' 
question  is  no  longer  open  for  argument. 
All  education  pays,  both  directly  and  in- 
directly; whether  that  payment  can  be 
calculated  in  language  of  financial  return 
or  in  benefits  to  the  community  or  the  in- 
dividuals comprising  the  community  is 
immaterial.  Modern  civilization  is  based 
upon  the  theory  that  the  better  educated 
are  the  citizens  of  any  country,  the  better 
equipped  they  are  to  grapple  with  the 
problems  confronting  all  humans,  whether 
they  be  problems  of  material  advancement, 
industrial  development,  economic  con- 
ditions, or  sociological  or  moral  problems. 
The  educated,  trained  man  is  considered 
an  asset  and  to  have  an  advantage  over 
those  who  are  not.  All  Canadian  pro- 
vinces should  be  well  forward  in  educa- 
tional facilities  and  the  use  to  which  those 
facilities  are  put.  The  advantages  should 
be  open  to  all  and  if  those  advantages  cost 
the  province  heavily  in  money,  they  would 
still  be  more  than  warranted.  To  me  it 
seems  axiomatic  that  the  more  accessible 
to  all  classes  in  Ontario,  poor  and  rich,  is 
the  advantage  of  higher  education,  the 
more  the  province  can  be  said  to  be  keep- 
ing pace  with  the  necessities  of  present 
day  life. 


Is  the  University  of  Toronto  a  Democratic  Failure? 

By  MAIN  JOHNSON,  '11 


IS  it  true  that  the  University  of  Toronto 
gets  all  the  money  it  deserves? 

It  is  a  state  institution.  If  it  does 
not  receive  sufficient  financial  support, 
does  not  that  automatically  show  that  it 
fails  to  fulfil  its  proper  function? 

If  the  University  performed  adequate 
services  for  the  people,  would  not  they 
vie  with  academic  officials  and  organiza- 
tions in  demanding  adequate  support 
from  the  Government? 

If  there  was  pressure  from  members  of 
the  Legislature  on  the  Government,  would 
not  funds  be  provided? 

If  there  was  pressure  from  constituents 
on  members,  would  not  members  urge  the 
Government  to  act? 


Are  the  members  of  the  Legislature  urg- 
ing the  Cabinet?  Are  the  constituents 
pressing  the  members?  Is  there  a  spon- 
taneous popular  demand  of  monetary 
support  for  the  University? 

If  not,  does  it  not  show  that  the  people 
of  the  Province  are  indifferent  about 
University  finances? 

And  does  not  that  register  a  democratic 
failure  for  the  University? 

The  issue  is  not  as  simple  as  these  queries 
would  suggest.  The  problem  of  education 
is  particularly  complex  even  in  the  midst 
of  prevalent  modern  complexity. 

But  there  is  a  seed,  a  considerable  grain 
of  truth  in  the  viewpoint  presented. 
It  is  a  viewpoint  that  in  the  past  has  often 


UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO  MONTHLY 


199 


been  neglected  or  spurned.  Even  to-day 
it  does  not  receive  the  attention  it  merits. 

The  University  of  Toronto  can  ask 
for  private  donations.  In  so  far  as  it 
receives  them,  it  can  afford  to  be  inde- 
pendent of  public  opinion.  But  funda- 
mentally and  legally  it  is  a  state  university, 
one  that  is  actually  asking  increased 
financial  assistance  from  the  state.  In 
so  far  as  this  is  the  case,  a  policy  of  aloof- 
ness, of  isolation  from  the  everyday  life 
of  the  people  is  obviously  unwise,  even  if 
that  obviousness  remains  obscure  to  up- 
holders of  the  exclusive,  aristrocratic  view. 

The  University  is  moving  in  the  right 
direction.  Genuine  improvements,  en- 
couraging advances  have  been  made  in 
the  last  year  or  so.  The  Extension  system 
throughout  the  province  is  being  enlarged 
and  more  vitality  shown.  A  course  for 
farmers  has  become  an  annual  event. 


Publicity  for  University  aims,  needs  and 
accomplishments  has  improved.  These 
and  other  signs  of  a  desire  to  keep  closer 
to  the  people  are  welcome. 

What  needs  emphasizing  now,  what 
needs  to  be  shouted  if  necessary  so  that 
it  will  be  heard,  is  that  this  IS  the  right 
road.  If  only  that  pathway  were  followed, 
with  a  cumulative  energy  and  enthusiasm, 
the  University  would  soon  find  itself 
coming  out  of  the  woods  on  to  a  highway 
not  only  of  affluence  but  of  popular  in- 
fluence. 

Recent  appointees  to  the  Board  of 
Governors,  men  like  Wallace  and  Good, 
leaders  in  the  farm  movement,  have  an 
opportunity  to  emphasize  the  drastically 
democratic  needs  of  the  University.  The 
situation  would  be  still  further  helped  if 
they  had  as  colleagues  some  representatives 
of  organized  labour. 


University  Professors  as  Luncheon  Club  Speakers. 

By  E.  P.  BROWN,  '01 
FORMER  HEAD  OF  ONTARIO  CANADIAN  CLUB 


SINCE  1887  when  the  University  Ex- 
tension movement,  which  had  as  its 
central  object  that  of  establishing  an 
intimate  relation  between  the  university 
and  the  people,  was  brought  to  America, 
it  has  grown  enormously  in  volume  and 
influence.  The  movement  had  been 
launched  in  Oxford  many  years  before,  but 
the  nature,  urgency  and  extent  of  the 
instruction  required  in  the  United  States 
was  so  different  from  that  in  England,  that 
it  had  to  be  carried  on  there  on  a  much 
wider  basis.  Lectures  were  supplemented 
by  correspondence  work  and  in  the  latter 
alone,  the  University  of  Wisconsin,  a 
conspicuous  pioneer  in  the  movement, 
served  more  students  than  were  in  actual 
attendance  within  the  University.  Wis- 
consin was  inspired  by  no  narrow  ambition. 
Its  President,  Dr  C.  R.  van  Hise,  in  the 
course  of  an  address  to  the  Canadian 
Club,  Toronto,  in  October,  1913,  said: 
"Everyone  of  us  should  be  students  in  a 
continuation  school  throughout  life;  it 
is  to  serve  this  large  purpose  for  the  people 
of  Wisconsin  that  the  University  Extension 
Division  of  the  University  was  organized" 
and  added  that  by  the  Extension  work  of 
his  University  some  200,000  Wisconsin 
people  had  been  directly  and  indirectly 
reached  during  the  preceding  year. 


Since  the  war  particularly,  very  notice- 
able has  been  the  eager  demand  for  the 
service  of  learning  that  Extension  teaching 
gives.  So  too  the  large  attendance  at 
public  lectures  during  the  last  year  or 
two  surprised  and  impressed  those  in 
touch  with  them.  If  the  demand  for 
instruction  be  clear  and  strong,  as  I  believe 
it  is,  and  if  the  university  is  in  great  part 
able  to  satisfy  this  demand,  then  the  matter 
of  ways  and  means  becomes  all  essential. 

It  has  occurred  to  me  that  the  Depart- 
ment of  University  Extension  at  the  Uni- 
versity of  Toronto,  in  addition  to  the 
admirably  useful  work  which  it  is  at 
present  doing, — though  through  lack  of 
adequate  funds  it  was  only  able  last  year 
to  reach  some  3,000  persons  outside  the 
University — might  well  use  the  Canadian 
Clubs  and  similar  organizations  through- 
out the  Province  as  centres  for  lectures 
and  teaching  and  by  so  doing  not  only 
perform  a  large  and  valuable  service  to 
the  Province  generally,  but  increase  the 
usefulness  and  prestige  of  the  yniversity 
itself.  These  Clubs,  of  which  there  are 
about  fifty  in  Ontario  with  an  approximate 
membership  of  20,000 — men  and  women 
who  keenly  realize  their  need  of  education 
—have  during  the  past  twenty-five  years 
contributed  not  a  little  to  quickening,

informing,  and  steadying  public  opinion 
by  inviting  distinguished  persons  of  differ- 
ent nationalities  to  address  their  members. 
In  the  larger  cities,  such  as  Toronto, 
Ottawa,  and  Hamilton,  there  is  no  great 
difficulty  in  obtaining  speakers,  but  in 
smaller  and  especially  in  out  of  the  way 
places  it  has  often  been  otherwise  and  as  a 
result  some  Clubs  have  languished,  others 
ceased  to  exist  and  this  difficulty  has  also 
acted  as  a  deterrent  in  the -formation  of 
new  Clubs. 

Why  should  not  the  staff  of  the  Uni- 
versity be  enabled  to  give  their  assistance 
to  these  Clubs  and  like  organizations?  To 
do  this  work  satisfactorily,  it  would  be 
necessary  no  doubt  to  relieve  the  lecturers 
concerned,  from  a  portion  of  their  routine 
University  duties  and  also  to  substantially 
increase  the  present  meagre  financial  ap- 
propriations for  that  purpose.  The  pres- 
ent Provincial  Government  would,  I  am 
inclined  to  think,  sympathetically  con- 
sider a  request  for  further  funds,  if  the, 
matter  was  presented  on  the  basis  of  a 
carefully  thought  out  scheme  covering 


among  other  points,  lecturers,  subjects, 
places,  classes  and  number  of  people  to  be 
reached. 

The  broadening  out  of  the  Extension 
movement  will,  I  am  convinced,  not  only 
intellectually  stimulate  the  people  of  the 
Province,  but  will  wisely  enlarge  the  service 
of  the  University;  this  has  been  the  general 
experience  in  the  United  States.  It  is 
important,  vitally  important  from  the 
standpoint  of  the  University,  that  as  many 
people  as  possible  in  Ontario  be  in  direct 
personal  and  grateful  contact  with  it,  or 
some  of  its  representatives,  and  I  know 
of  no  better  way  of  gaining  the  confidence 
and  support  of  the  people  than  by  a 
further  development  of  the  present  Uni- 
versity Extension  work.  If  this  contact 
be  more  generally  established,  it  is  not 
only  highly  probable,  but  I  believe  certain, 
that  the  Members  of  the  Legislature,  very 
quickly,  will  respond  to  the  friendly  pres- 
sure of  public  opinion  and  a  more  enlight- 
ened and  liberal  support  of  the  LTniversity 
will  be  the  happy  result, 


The  Plight  of  University  College 

By  PRINCIPAL  MAURICE  HUTTON 


THE  congestion  of  University  College  is 
an  old  story,  which,  if  it  escapes  be- 
coming tedious,  only  does  so  because 
the  congestion  increasing  every  session 
draws  ever  fresh  attention  to  itself. 

There  was  nothing  which  impressed  the 
Commissioners  last  winter  as  the  round 
they  made  of  the  College  one  wintry 
day.  I  was  called  upon  suddenly,  some- 
where about  ten  o'clock  in  the  morn- 
ing, to  personally  conduct  this  tour.  I 
had  made  no  strategic  plans,  I  meditated 
no  dramatic  coup,  but  I  rather  expected 
that  the  Commissioners  none  the  less 
would  be  surprised  and  a  little  shocked. 

I  conducted  them  at  once  to  the  lower 
regions  of  the  old  Residence  building,  the 
long  dark  passage  where  bath  rooms  once 
were  made  for  the  students  in  Residence, 
where  subsequently  apples  and  butter 
were  stored.  We  paced  the  long  passage 
and  I  turned  into  a  little  room  on  the  left, 
below  the  level  of  the  ground,  once  used 
as  a  servants'  dining  room.  There  we 
found  the  third  member  of  the  staff  in 
Greek  conducting  a  seminar  for  a  graduate 
student  who  was  taking  up  some  research 


work  in  the  natural  sciences  in  connection 
with  the  origin  of  the  science  in  ancient 
Greece. 

In  the  scullery  room  across  the  passage, 
the  corresponding  member  of  the  Latin 
staff,  Professor  Duff,  meets  his  classes. 
Access  is  not  necessarily  by  the  long  dark 
passage  by  which  I  took  the  Commis- 
sioners; there  is  also  immediate  access 
from  the  open  air  by  way  of  some  area 
steps,  which  descend  from  the.  garden 
level. x  In  winter  when  snow  and  ice  are 
coating  the  area,  descent  is  none  too  safe 
on  this  side,  and  I  saved  the  Commission 
from  the  fate  which  befell  the  fourth  year 
class  in  Classics  a  few  weeks  earlier. 

Having  inspected  the  classical  sculleries 
we  went  on  to  the  kitchen  itself  and  in  the 
kitchen  we  found  a  much  larger  class 
assembleol;  while  in  the  dining  room  above 
meets  the  largest  Latin  class  which  remains 
undivided. 

Now  it  is  not  merely  that  sculleries, 
kitchens,  and  dining  halls  are  not  precisely 
the  natural  places  for  classical  and  other 
instruction;  there  is  the  further  point  to 
which  I  desire  to  call, attention  still  more

VIEWS  SHOWING  THE  CONGESTION  IN  THE  UNIVERSITY  COLLEGE  BUILDING 

That  on  the  right  is  Lecture  Room  52  which  was  formerly  the  kitchen  for  the  University  Dining  Hall.  It  is  28'  square 
and  seats  54  students.  The  only  natural  light  and  ventilation  secured  is  from  the  two  small  windows  shown,  and  from 
a  9  foot  skylight.  The  view  on  the  left  is  of  Professor  Woodhead's  room  in  which  12  Honour  Latin  students  meet  reg- 
ularly. This  room  is  18'  long,  12'  wide,  and  9'  high.  Both  rooms  are  3'  below  the  ground  level. 


emphatically.  The  use  of  these  places 
for  lecture  rooms  leaves  the  students  of 
this  College  with  absolutely  no  place  where 
they  can  meet  out  of  lecture  hours  in  a 
College  building.  The  Literary  and  Ath- 
letic Society  asks  for  some  sort  of  common 
room.  There  is  no  common  room  for  the 
College ;  not  even  a  subterranean  and  cast- 
off  kitchen  can  be  offered  them.  Hart 
House  of  course  is  splendid;  but  it  is  in 
no  sense  their  building;  it  cannot  be  a 
common  room  for  University  College. 

I  have  dwelt  perhaps  upon  the  spectacu- 
lar features  of  this  congestion.  The  less 
spectacular  are  perhaps  the  more  trying. 
Many  members  of  the  staff  have  no 
private  rooms  where  they  can  see  students 
privately  and  revise  their  work.  For 
example,  the  department  of  English  is 
above  all  other  departments  committed 
to  this  task  of  criticism  and  discussion, 
but  Professors  Alexander  and  Malcolm 
Wallace  have  but  one  room  between  them. 
Not  only  can  they  not  see  students  at 
one  and  the  same  time  but  if  either  of 
them  is  returning  students'  essays,  the 
other  has  no  retreat  wherein  to  pursue 
his  own  work  undisturbed. 

The  same  is  true  with  the  other  members 
of  the  English  staff;  Professors  Keys  and 
Clawson  occupy  the  same  room;  Miss 
Wookey  and  Miss  Waddington  have  only 
'one  room.  Similarly  in  French,  Professor 
Cameron  and  Monsieur  Bibet  share  a  room : 


Professors  de  Champ  and  Evans ;  Professors 
McKellar  and  Moraud;  Professors  Andison 
and  Tilby  share  Professor  Will's  room  (in 
his  absence);  so  in  German,  Professors 
Needier  and  Fairley;  Professors  Holt  and 
Hedman  have  one  room  between  them. 
It  must  be  remembered  that  in  some 
respects  conditions  in  University  College, 
in  spite  of  the  building  of  a  separate 
Library,  a  separate  Convocation  Hall,  a 
separate  Museum,  and  a  separate  Physics 
Building,  are  even  worse  than  when  the 
College  covered  and  included  all  these 
functions. 

In  those  days  there  was  no  Superin- 
tendent's department  and  no  Bursar's 
offices.  The  Superintendent's  building 
was  part  of  the  home'  of  the  Dean  of 
Residence.  To-day  there  is  no  Residence 
and  no  Dean.  The  Bursar's  quarters  were 
down  town,  a  couple  of-  miles  from  the 
University.  To-day  they  cover  five  lecture 
rooms  which  once  were  devoted  to  the 
special  work  of  University  College. 

There  is  no  item  in  the  Commissioners' 
report  of  last  spring  which  excited  warmer 
approval  than  their  recommendation  of  a 
new  Administration  Building,  to  embrace 
the  activities  of  Bursar,  Registrar,  and 
Superintendent,  and  to  restore  the  south 
eastern  block  of  University  College  to  its 
proper  purposes.  There  is  no  *tem  the 
adjournment  of  which  is  more  inconvenient 
and  embarrassing. 


Scientists  of  America  Meet  at  University. 


18,000  DELEGATES  ATTEND  CONVENTION  OF  A.A.A.S. 


THE   second   Toronto    meeting   of    the 
American    Association    for    the    Ad- 
vancement of  Science  has  been  hailed 
by  many  as  one  of  the  most  successful 
gatherings    of    the    Association.     It    was 
undoubtedly  well-organized  and  the  task 
of  looking  after  1,800  delegates  from  all 
parts  of  the  United  States  and  Canada, 
from    the    moment    they    detrained,    was 
admirably  handled. 

To  go  into  details  about  the  meetings 
of  the  different  sections  and  sub-sections 
would  be  too  gigantic  a  task  to  attempt  in 
this  small  space.  Some  idea  may  be 
given,  however,  of  the  general  outline  of 
events.  The  conference  was  officially 
opened  on  Tuesday  evening,  December 
27,  at  a  meeting  in  Convocation  Hall  when 
an  address  was  given  by  Dr  L.  O.  Howard, 
the  retiring  president  of  the  Association. 
The  second  general  meeting  was  held  on 
Wednesday  in  order  that  the  -members 
might  have  the  privilege  of  hearing  Pro- 
fessor Bateson,  the  eminent  British  Bi- 
ologist who  was  the  guest  of  "the  Associa- 
tion. At  the  third  general  meeting  Sir 
Adam  Beck  gave  a  very  interesting 
lecture  on  the  hydro-electric  development 
in  Ontario,  illustrating  it  with  motion 
pictures. 

Apart  from  these  general  meetings,  there 
were. a  good  many  social  entertainments. 
There  was  an  exhibition  of  educational 
motion  pictures  of  a  popular  character  and 
a  reception  at  the  Royal  Ontario  Museum. 
One  of  the  most  popular  features  was  the 
Hart  House  Conversazione  when  Hart 
House  was  thrown  open  from  top  to 
bottom  and  the  students  gave  an  exhibi- 
tion of  all  their  activities.  Water  polo 
and  indoor  base-ball  games  were  put  on 
for  the  benefit  of  the  visitors.  Besides 
these  entertainments  there  was  a  musical 
programme  in  the  Music  Room  and  several 
short  performances  in  the  Theatre.  All 
this  was  followed  by  refreshments  in  the 
Great  Hall.  Later  in  the  week  there  was 
an  exhibit  of  skating  and  ice-hockey  at 
the  Arena  put  on  by  the  Toronto  Skating 
Club.  For  the  women  who  attended  the 
conference  tea  was  served  daily  in  the 
women's  reception  room  in  the  Library, 


and  the  hitherto  inviolable  sanctity  of 
Hart  House  was  broken  by  a  special 
dinner  given  in  honour  of  the  women  on 
Friday,  December  30. 

These  were  merely  the  added  features 
of  the  meetings  which  made  the  conference 
so  enjoyable  to  all.  The  actual  work  of 
the  conference  of  course,  was  the  dis- 
cussion of  scientific  questions  and  the 
reading  of  papers.  There  were  seventeen 
sections  and  each  member  attended  the 
meeting  of  the  section  or  sub-section 
which  dealt  with  the  particular  science  in 
which  he  was  interested.  In  all  there 
were  something  like  1,000  papers  read. 
Of  these  about  fifty  or  sixty  were  given 
by  graduates  or  members  of  the  staff  of 
the  University  of  Toronto. 

Great  credit  is  due  Professor  J.  C. 
Fields  and  the  local  committee  upon  whose 
shoulders  fell  the  huge  task  of  the  organ- 
ization of  the  convention.  The  publicity 
work  which  was  in  the  hands  of  Dr  A.G. 
Huntsman  was  particularly  effective  (the 
daily  papers  gave  detailed  accounts  of 
the  meetings)  and  it  has  been  acclaimed 
by  the  Toronto  Globe  as  the  most  efficient 
press  service  ever  put  into  operation  for 
any  convention  held  in  Toronto.  Above 
all,  Toronto  was  honoured  by  the  election 
of  the  new  president,  Professor J.  P. 
McMurrich,  Head  of  the  Department  of 
Anatomy  in  the  University.  On  the 
whole,  the  A.A.A.S.  convention  will  be  a 
memorable  event  in  the  annals  of  Toronto. 

An  incomplete  list  of  the  Toronto 
graduates  and  members  of  th6  staff  who 
gave  papers  at  the  conference  includes 
the  following:

Medical  Extension  Work  Develops 

By  V.  E.  HENDERSON 
PROFESSOR  OF   PHARMACOLOGY,   UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO 


ONE   of    the  most  promising  of  recent 
developments     in     the    Faculty    of 
Medicine  is  extension  work.      Con- 
structive   efforts    to    help    the    graduate 
practitioner  have  led  to  several  steps  to 
aid  him  in  his  development. 

Medical  Societies  have  grown  up  in  all 
the  counties  of  the  Province.  They  re- 
quire papers  for  their  meetings.  The 
University  is  assisting  by  supplying, 
through  the  Ontario  Medical  Association, 
men  to  talk  at  such  meetings.  This  work 
has  grown  astonishingly;  over  a  hundred 
and  twenty  lectures  have  been  given  by 
University  men  before  local  societies  out- 
side Toronto  since  the  first  of  July. 

The  Faculty  is  publishing  also  a  bulletin 
at  irregular  intervals,  which  is  sent  to 
every  physician  in  the  Province.  This 
contains  rather  didactic  articles  intended 
to  be  useful  to  the  practitioner.  It  also 
serves  as  a  vehicle  for  the  distribution  of 
information  in  regard  to  special  courses. 

For  the  physician  who  can  come  to  the 
University,  several  short  refresher  courses 
in  Medicine,  Surgery  and  Obstetrics  have 
been  given.  Each  course  lasts  six  days. 
These  courses  have  been  deservedly  popu- 
lar. On  several  occasions  more  men  have 
wished  to  attend  than  could  be  accommo- 
dated. Unfortunately,  owing  to  the  bur- 
den of  teaching,  these  courses  have  been 
given  in  the  Christmas  holidays  and  in 
May,  times  inconvenient  for  the  practi- 
tioner. 

A  month's  course  has  twice  been  given 
in  July  in  the  Department  of  Paediatrics 
in  the  Sick  Children's  Hospital.  This 
has  already  made  a  reputation  for  the 
Staff  and  the  Hospital,  and  last  year  men 
came  from  the  United  States  to  take  it. 
Diseases  of  children  appeal  so  strongly 
to  the  physician  and  the  advances  in  this 
field  have  been  so  great  of  recent  years  that 
such  a  course  cannot  fail  to  be  a  great 


boon.  Nowhere  on  the  continent  are 
the  facilities  for  such  a  course  equal  to 
Toronto. 

Several  short  (one  month)  courses  in 
X-ray  have  been  arranged  at  the  Toronto 
General  Hospital.  Here,  too,  the  ex- 
cellent facilities  make  condensed  teaching 
easy. 

In  post-graduate  work  proper,  the 
Faculty  is  also  advancing.  Our  M.D. 
degree  will  in  the  future  be  given  only  after 
a  splendid  course  of  three  years  spent  in 
the  Department  of  Medicine  and  the 
scientific  laboratories.  A  Master  of  Sur- 
gery (Ch.M.)  will  be  given  at  the  end  of  an 
equally  long  period.  These  degrees  will 
definitely  mark  their  recipients  as  well 
qualified  men  in  their  special  fields. 
The  degrees  will  be  coveted  and  will  soon 
tend  to  distinguish  the  University  of 
Toronto. 

For  the  Diploma  of  Public  Health  we 
have  as  many  candidates  registered  as  in 
any  school  in  America  and  our  course 
offers  exceptional  facilities  for  field  and 
laboratory  work,  which  are  hardly  to  be 
equalled  elsewhere. 

A  new  departure  has  been  the  institution 
of  a  Diploma  in  Radiology  which  will  be 
given  at  the  end  of  a  course  of  nine  months. 
This  diploma,  similar  to  that  offered  by 
Cambridge  University,  will  give  not  only 
a  thorough  technical  training  in  Radiology 
but  also  thorough  training  in  the  physical 
principles  underlying  the  employment  of 
all  types  of  rays  in  diagnosis  and  treat- 
ment. 

That  a  Faculty,  more  over-burdened 
with  undergraduate  teaching  than  any- 
other  in  America,  can,  in  acMition  to 
maintaining  its  high  undergraduate  stand- 
ards, thus  take  practical  steps  to  meet 
the  demands  of  the  graduate  is  evidence 
that  the  welfare  of  the  profession  is  being 
jealously  advanced  by  its  efforts. 


Periodical  Publications  of  the  University, 

By  W.  S.  WALLACE 
ASSISTANT  LIBRARIAN,  UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO 


University  journalism  has  been  v  gorous 
for  many  years  in  the  University  of 
Toronto.  To  attempt  at  this  date  to  give 
an  exhaustive  account  of  all  the  periodical 
publications,  either  graduate  or  under- 
graduate, which  have  been  issued  in  con- 
nection with  the  University,  would  be  a 
task  of  no  small  proportions;  but  it  may 
be  of  interest  to  the  readers  of  the  UNI- 
VERSITY MONTHLY  if  the  present  article 
attempts  a  brief  survey  of  these  publica- 
tions, with  a  view  to  indicating  the  charac- 
ter and  date  of  each. 

The  first  unofficial  publication  in  con- 
nection with  the  University  of  which  the 
writer  has  been  able  to  obtain  informa- 
tion, is  a  small  volume  entitled  Fasti, 
issued  in  1850.  This  little  volume,  which 
is  now  very  rare,  contains  merely  a  list 
of  the  officers,  graduates,  and  under- 
graduates of  the  University,  together  with 
other  information  of  a  semi-official  sort. 
It  was  brought  down  to  date  by  a  similar 
volume  published  in  1887,  copies  of  which 
are  more  frequently  found. 

The  first  real  adventure  into  University 
journalism,  however,  was  a  monthly  peri- 
odical entitled  White  and  Blue,  founded  in 
1879  by  Mr  W.  F.  Maclean  and  a  group 
of  his  fellow-undergraduates.  This  journal 
existed  for  only  one  year,  but  it  was  the 
true  predecessor  of  the  Varsity,  which  was 
founded  on  October  7,  1880.  The  Varsity 
has  had  a  chequered  career.  For  five 
years,  from  1880  to  1886,  it  described  itself 
as  UA  Weekly  Review  of  Education, 
University  Politics,  and  Events".  In  1886 
this  sub-title  was  changed  to  "A  Weekly 
Journal  of  Literature,  University  Thought, 
and  Events."  About  the  period  of  the 
University  fire,  it  was  issued  irregularly. 
In  1908  it  was  changed  from  a  weekly 
journal  to  a  newspaper,  published  twice 
a  week;  and  in  1911  the  number  of  weekly 
issues  was  increased  to  three.  This  is  the 
form  in  which,  during  the  academic  year, 
the  Varsity  now  appears. 

During  its  long  career,  the  Varsity  has 
had  several  rivals.  About  1884  a  short- 
lived journal  known  as  The  Fasti  made,  I 
am  told,  its  appearance.  In  1897  there 
appeared  a  journal  entitled  College  Topics, 
which  lasted  for  five  years,  and  was  merged 


with  the  Varsity  in  1902.  In  1897  there 
appeared  also  an  annual  known  as  Sesame, 
published  by  the  women  graduates  and 
undergraduates  of  University  College, 
which  continued  in  existence  for  three  or 
four  years.  In  February,  1910,  a  monthly 
magazine,  The  Arbor,  which  was  conducted 
mainly  by  undergraduates,  made  its  debut, 
and  lasted  until  April,  1913.  Four  years 
later,  in  February,  1917,  a  similar  monthly 
journal,  The  Rebel,  entered  the  lists,  and 
it  pursued  its  rebellious  career  until  in 
1920  it  transformed  into  the  Canadian 
Forum.  But  it  should  be  distinctly  under- 
stood, the  Canadian  Forum  has  no  con- 
nection with  the  University  of  Toronto. 

It  is  perhaps  worthy  of  note  that  there 
exist  in  the  University  Library  no  copies 
of  White  and  Blue,  or  of  The  Fasti  (the 
journal,  not  the  annual  publication),  and 
no  copies  of  College  Topics.  If  any  readers 
of  these  pages  have  in  their  possession  even 
stray  copies  of  any  of  the  numbers  of  these 
periodicals,  I  need  hardly  say  that,  should 
the  owners  feel  disposed  to  present  them 
to  the  University  Library,  their  generosity 
would  be  much  appreciated. 

It  does  not  seem  necessary  to  say  any- 
thing here  about  such  College  journals  as 
A  eta  Victoriana,  The  Trinity  University 
Review,  and  the  old  Knox  College  Monthly, 
which  belong  rather  to  one  College  than 
to  the  whole  University.  Nor  is  it  neces- 
sary to  say  anything  in  detail  about  the 
annual  volume  Torontonensis,  which  began 
in  1898,  though  it  is  perhaps  worthy  of 
note  that  the  Year  of  1892  published  a 
Class  Book  which  would  seem  to  have  been 
the  spiritual  ancestor  of  Torontonensis. 

The  history  of  UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO 
MONTHLY  is  something  to  which,  in  these 
pages,  a  separate,  article  might  fittingly 
be  devoted.  Let  it  suffice  to  say  here  that 
the  first  publication  which  partook  in  any 
sense  of  the  character  of  the  UNIVERSITY  OF 
TORONTO  MONTHLY  was  the  University  of 
Toronto  Quarterly,  which  was  founded  in 
March,  1895,  and  which  died  a  natural 
death  in  December,  1896.  The  Quarterly 
existed  apparently  for  the  purpose  of 
publishing  the  papers  read  before  the 
departmental  societies  of  the  University, 
and  in  the  eight  numbers  that  were  pub-

lished  are  contained  a  number  of  inter- 
esting first-flights  by  men  who  have  since 
made  reputations  in  quite  other  lines. 
The  UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO  MONTHLY 
proper  was  founded  in  July,  1900.  In 
1907  the  name  was  changed  to  the  UNIVER- 
SITY MONTHLY,  and  in  December,  1918, 
it  was  changed  back  to  its  original  form. 

It  does  not  fall  within  the  scope  of  this 
survey  to  notice  separate  undergraduate 
publications,  such  as  the  'Varsity  Book  of 
Prose  and  Poetry  issued  in  1885,  and  the 
volume  of  Some  Undergraduate  Verse, 
published  in  1906.  To  track  down  all  the 
occasional  publications  of  this  sort  would 
involve  a  good  deal  of  research  and  enquiry. 
Indeed,  it  is  quite  possible  that  even 
among  the  periodicals  listed  above  there 
may  be  omissions.  If  so,  the  writer  would 


be  much  indebted  to  any  correspondent 
who  would  have  the  kindness  to  bring  these 
omissions  to  his  attention. 

The  time  has  come,  it  would  seem,  when 
a  concerted  effort  should  be  made  to  gather 
together  the  fugitive  and  already  fast  dis- 
appearing material  which  should  constitute 
the  archives  from  which  the  detailed  his- 
tory of  the  University  may  some  day  be 
written.  There  will  take  place  within  a 
few  years  the  centenary  of  the  founding 
of  King's  College — that  is  to  say,  of  the 
University  of  Toronto — in  1827.  Might 
I  suggest  that  the  approach  of  this  occa- 
sion might  be  fittingly  celebrated,  inter 
alia,  by  the  establishment  in  the  Univer- 
sity Library  of  a  memorial  collection  of 
University  records  and  publications? 


Military  Studies  and  the  C.  O.  T.  C. 


Squad    'SHUN!     Form    FOURS! 
RIGHT!.., 

As  this  note  is  being  written,  the 
voice  of  the  Drill  Sergeant  breaks  in 
between  the  rumblings  of  the  street  cars. 
But  his  tones  seem  milder  than  they  used 
to  be — almost  solicitous  at  times. 

In  the  large  lot  adjoining  the  old  Schom- 
berger  House  at  184  College  Street  which 
is  now  occupied  by  the  Military  Studies 
Department,  the  Alumni  Federation,  and 
the  Records  Office,  a  squad  of  C.O.T.C. 
recruits  are  being  drilled.  Almost  any 
afternoon  they  can  be  seen  going  through 
the  manoeuvres  which  were  so  familiar 
to  many  during  the  war ;  and  idlers  among 
the  passers-by  gaze  over  the  fence  and 
wonder  what  it  is  all  about. 

The  activities  of  the  military  department 
of  the  University  fall  into  divisions,  the 
study  of  military  subjects  as  an  academic 
requirement  and  the  more  practical  work 
of  the  Canadian  Officers  Training  Corps. 
In  the  former,  courses  are  given  which 
constitute  options  for  pass  subjects  in  any 
of  the  Arts  Courses  of  the  second,  third, 
and  fourth  years.  The  work  of  the  Officers 
Training  Corps  leads  to  a  War  Office 
certificate  for  officers  and  may  be  taken 
in  lieu  of  the  physical  training  which  is 
ordinarily  prescribed  and  which  is  com- 
pulsory for  all  first  and  second  year 
students. 


In  the  Military  Studies  course,  lectures 
are  given  on  Tactics,  Typography,  Mus- 
ketry, Army  Organization  and  Admini- 
istfation,  and  subjects  relating  to  the 
resources  and  defence  of  the  Empire. 
This  session,  in  all  three  years,  there  are 
fifty-seven  enrolled.  The  lectures  are 
given  by  Col.  W.  R.  Lang,  Director  of  the 
Department,  and  Brig. -Gen.  Cartwright. 
Military  drill  and  musketry  courses  are 
required  as  practical  work. 

The  C.O.T.C.  has  this  year  a  strength 
of  180,  nearly  all  of  whom  have  had  previous 
training  in  High  School  Cadet  Corps. 
It  is  organized  in  companies,  according  to 
Faculties,  and  is  officered  by  members  of 
the  University  staff  under  the  general 
command  of  Col.  Lang.  The  work  of  the 
Corps  is  set  by  the  War  Office  and  is 
standard  among  all  officers'  training  corps 
in  the  universities  of  the  Empire.  The 
certificates  granted,  exempt  the  holders 
from  examination  for  commissioned  rank 
on  joining  a  militia  unit.  Apart  from 
military  drill,  the  members  of  the  Corps 
are  required  to  take  musketry  training  at 
the  Hart  House  miniature  ranges. 

The  Department  possesses  fun  uniform 
equipment  and  rifles  and  also  a  number  of 
Lewis  guns  for  instructional  purposes. 
It  has  a  reading-room  and  library.  The 
library  is  entirely  the  gift  of  friends  of  the 
University  and  is  constantly  being  added  to. 


Forty  Years  of  the  Engineering  Society 

By  PETER  GILLESPIE 
PROFESSOR   OF  APPLIED  MECHANICS,  UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO 


TO  embrace  in  its  membership,  over 
800  undergraduates  in  addition  to 
honorary  and  life  members;  to  hold 
between  thirty  and  forty  meetings  during 
the  academic  year;  to  conduct  a  supply 
department  with  an  annual  turn-over  of 
nearly  $15,000;  to  publish  yearly,  a 
volume  of  transactions;  to  conduct  annual- 
ly an  amateur  vaudeville  performance 
(Spasms)  catering  not  only  to  students 
and  graduates  but  the  general  public  as 
well;  to  maintain  an  orchestra  whose 
musical  performances  compare  well  with 
those  of  professional  organizations;  to 
hold  annually  one  of  the  largest  of  Uni- 
versity dinners  and  one  of  the  jolliest  of 
University  dances — these  are  some  of  the 
privileges  and  responsibilities  of  the  Engin- 
eering Society  of  the  University  of  Toronto. 
It  was  in  the  winter  of  1885  that  this 
Society  had  its  beginning.  In  that  year 
Mr  T.  Kennard  Thomson,  then  a  second 
year  student  in  the  School  of  Practical 
Science,  now  an  eminent  consulting  'En- 
gineer of  New  York,  conceived  the  idea 
of  founding  a  technical  society  among  his 
fellow  students.  In  spite  of  the  fact  that 
the  consensus  of  student  opinion  seemed 
unsympathetic  Thomson  was  not  dis- 
couraged. He  invited  the  second  and 
third  year  classes,  Professors  Galbraith 
and  ElHs  and  a  few  outside  friends  to 
dinner  on  the  evening  of  February  6  and 
took  advantage  of  the  opportunity  to 
propose  to  them  his  scheme.  The  en- 
dorsement seems  then  to  have  been  quite 
unanimous  and  forthwith  a  committee 
was  formed  to  draft  a  constitution.  The 
Engineering  Society  thus  came  into  being 
and  with  John  Galbraith  as  its  first 
President  and  Mr  Thomson  as  its  first 
Secretary  began  what  has  since  proved  to 
be  quite  an  illustrious  career.  Its  charter 
membership  numbered  thirty-four.  A  list 
of  the  chief  office-holders  since  1885  is

Membership  in  the  original  organization 
was  voluntary.  Later  it  was  made  com- 
pulsory and  to  give  the  Society  a  working 
revenue,  75  per  cent,  of  the  so-called 
"  library-fee "  collected  by  the  Faculty 
from  the  students  was  paid  over  to  the 
Treasurer  of  the  Society.  This  with  the 
revenues  obtained  from  advertisers  in  the 
Transactions  was  usually  sufficient  to 
meet  all  expenses  including  the  cost  of 
publication.  In  1907,  it  was  arranged 
with  the  Faculty  to  collect  from  each 
student  direct  a  fee  of  one  dollar  for  the 
maintenance  of  the  Society,  which  fee 
in  1911,  was  increased  to  $2.00  per  student. 
This  method  superseded  the  earlier  plan 
of  allocating  75  per  cent,  of  the  "Library 
fee"  for  the  purposes  of  the  Society. 

In  1908,  the  original  constitution  was 
revised  in  order  to  permit  of  the  holding 
of  sectional  meetings  under  the  auspices 
of  the  parent  society,  the  members  being 
grouped  somewhat  according  to  the  courses 
in  which  they  were  registered.  This  plan 
permitted  a  much  larger  number  of  students 
to  participate  in  the  preparation  and  dis- 
cussion of  papers  and  avoided  in  a  measure 


206 


UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO  MONTHLY

the  unwieldliness  of  the  larger  body  which, 
however,  retained  its  original  existence. 
Over  the  sectional  meetings  the  presidents 
of  the  various  clubs  preside  and  no  matters 
affecting  the  Society  as  a  whole  are  there 
discussed.  As  now  constituted  and  in 
accordance  with  the  revised  constitution 
of  1921  the  Engineering  Society  consists 
of  a  federation  of  clubs  with  the  following 
designations: 

The  Civil  Club, 

The  Mining  and  Metallurgical  Club, 

The  Mechanical  and  Electrical  Club, 

The  Architectural  Club, 

The  Chemical  Club, 

The  Debating  Club. 

As  set  forth  in  its  constitution  the 
objects  of  the  Engineering  Society  are  to 
encourage  original  research  in  Engineering, 
to  disseminate  and  preserve  the  results  of 
such  research,  to  foster  a  spirit  of  mutual 
assistance  and  co-operation  among  its 
members  both  prior  and  subsequent  to 
graduation  and  to  constitute  a  medium 
of  communication  between  the  student 
body  in  the  Engineering  Faculty  and  the 
University  authorities  or  others  outside 
of  the  University. 

The  chief  means  of  securing  these  de- 
siderata has  been  through  the  Society's 
publications,  the  first  of  which  appeared  in 
1887,  as  a  modest  pamphlet  bearing  the 
title  "Papers  Read  before  the  Engineering 
Society  of  the  School  of  Practical  Science." 
By  1901,  this  pamphlet  contained  over 
200  pages  and  in  addition  to  papers, 
included  the  retiring  President's  address 
and  a  list  of  members.  At  this  time  life 
members  were  those  graduates  who  had 
paid  a  fee  of  one  dollar  and  in  consequence 
were  entitled  to  receive  without  charge 
each  year  a  copy  of  the  pamphlet,  the 
price  of  which  was  then  50  cents. 

In  1902  the  Treasurer's  and  Auditor's 
reports  were  added.  In  1905  the  name  of 
the  publication  was  changed  to  Transactions 
of  the  Engineering  Society  of  the  University 
of  Toronto.  To  the  contents  as  indicated 
above  was  then  added  a  programme  of 
the  regular  meetings,  a  picture  of  the 
executive  and  a  short  biography  of  one  of 
the  Professors.  The  issue  for  1907  con- 
tained J250  pages.  In  that  year  the 
Transactions  gave  place  to  Applied  Science 
which  until  1912  appeared  monthly  during 
the  academic  year,  and  after  that  date 
and  until  1915  monthly  during  the  entire

year  when  financial  difficulties  conse- 
quent on  the  Great  War  necessitated 
the  suspension  of  its  publication.  In 
July  1916,  a  single  war  issue  was  printed 
and  this  was  the  last  to  appear.  Applied 
Science,  like  its  predecessors,  contained 
the  best  papers  delivered  before  the  Society 
and  its  affiliated  clubs  together  with  many 
articles  from  non-student  contributors. 
Generally  speaking  the  matter  was  of  a 
superior  character.  During  later  years 
items  of  news  concerning  graduates  and 
students  and  their  activities  were  given 
much  prominence  in  the  journal. 

The  question  of  reviving  Applied  Science 
as  a  monthly  journal  has  since  1915  been 
carefully  considered  by  the  various  Execu- 
tives. With  the  knowledge  that  if  revived 
its  publication  would  become  a  heavy 
drain  on  the  exchequer  of  the  Society,  the 
officers  have  felt  up  to  the  present  that  the 
undertaking  is  not  warranted.  Instead, 
it  was  in  1920-21  decided  to  again  issue 
the  yearly  Transactions  and  this^was  done 
in  the  spring  of  the  past  year.  With 
it  was  included  a  Year  Book  in  which  was 
recorded  the  various  activities  of  the 
Science  undergraduates  during  the  year. 

The  Toike  Oike  is  a  newspaper  publica- 
tion which  made  its  first  appearance  during 
the  annual  elections  in  1911.  It  came  out 


208 


UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO  MONTHLY 


on  the  mornings  of  Wednesday,  Thursday 
and  Friday  of  election  week  and  contained 
the  policies  and  platforms  of  the  candidates 
seeking  election.  For  several  years  it 
continued  to  appear  at  election  time  but 
disappeared  during  the  war.  In  the  fall 
of  1920,  it  was  revived  by  Mr  Downie, 
appearing  six  times  during  the  academic 
year.  There  was  a  freshman  edition  and 
a  graduate  edition  and  two  editions 
appeared  at  election  time.  Toike  Oike  is 
now  an  official  organ  of  the  Society. 

The  School  Orchestra  (The  "Toike- 
Oikestra")  was  organized  in  1911  by  Mr 
John  Temple.  For  some  years  it  played 
at  the  meetings  of  the  Society  and  at  the 
dinners  and  dances  but  became  disorgan- 
ized during  the  war.  In  1919,  largely 
through  the  efforts  of  Mr  G.  D.  Maxwell 
it  was  revived  and  is  to-day  a  very  active 
organization.  Some  of  the  instruments 
have  been  purchased  by  the  Society  for 
the  players,  although  most  of  these  are 
privately  owned. 

Prior  to  1908,  the  Society  had  sold  to 
students  in  the  Engineering  Faculty  cer- 
tain supplies,  such  as  drafting  paper, 
instruments,  etc.,  the  profits  on  which, 
had  been  used  to  defray  the  general  ex- 
penses of  the  Society.  The  work  entailed 
in  conducting  the  purchase  and  sale  of 
these  supplies  became  so  great  that  in  the 
year  referred  to  a  permanent  secretary  was 
employed.  The  editorship  of  Applied 
Science,  established  the  previous  year  as  a 
monthly  journal  was  also  included  in  his 
duties.;  This  position,  first  held  by  Mr 
K.  A.  McKenzie,  and  afterwards  by  Mr 
Hyndman  Irwin,  Mr  J.  E.  Ritchie  and 
Mr  R.  G.  Lye  in  succession  was  discon- 
tinued in  1915  when  Applied  Science  ceased 
publication  and  the  office  of  permanent 
secretary  was  abolished.  It  is  interesting 
to  note  that  the  first  half  of  the  current 
year,  the  profits  from  the  sales  in  the 
supply  department  have  been  sufficient 
to  meet  all  expenses,  such  as  salaries  and 
deficits — with  a  remaining  net  profit  of 
over  $800. 

For  over  thirty-six  years  the  Engineering 
Society  has  served  its  constituents.  It 
has  passed  through  its  periods  of  prosperity 
and  adversity,  its  membership  very  closely 
responsive  to  the  existing  industrial  situa- 
tion. It  has  fostered  a  most  laudable 
esprit  de  corps  among  its  membership;  it 
has  been  a  valuable  training  school  for 
many  students  in  public  speaking  and  the 
conduct  of  public  business;  it  has  been 


the  recognized  mouthpiece  of  the  student 
body  and  all  in  all  has  grown  to  be  one  of 
the  most  virile  of  student  organizations 
in  the  Universitv  of  Toronto. 


The  Hart  House  Play 

Magic,  which  was  played  at  Hart  House  in 
January  is  part  of  the  challenge  that  Chesterton 
hurls  at  those  "sublimated  plumbers,  the  intelli- 
gentia"  who  scoff  at  the  supernatural  and  decry  a 
belief  in  fairies.  The  author  resents  such  crass 
materialism  and  declares  his  own  personal  belief 
in  uncanny  and  unnatural  forces.  The  construction 
of  the  play  is  poor;  the  actors  are  not  in  any  sense 
real  persons,  they  are  merely  type  characters  who 
set  forth,  almost  in  dialogue  form,  the  various  views 
about  the  main  theme. 

The  characters  consist  of  a  Duke  whose  motto 
is  "progress",  whose  actions  are  so  broadminded 
that  they  effectively  prevent  progress  of  any  kind, 
and  in  whom  the  hereditary  insanity  takes  the 
form  of  far-fetched  and  cryptic  allusions  whose 
significance  he  alone  of  all  the  world  appreciates. 
The  Duke  has  a  niece  who  was  brought  up  in 
Ireland  and  whose  form  of  madness  is  a  faculty  of 
seeing  fairies  in  the  twilight,  and  a  nephew,  a 
product  of  America,  whose  similar  trait  is  a  faith 
in  dollars  and  science  as  the  final  test.  The  family 
doctor  and  the  clergyman  under  whose  supervision 
this  family  come  are  at  opposite  ends  of  the  pole, 
one  an  agnostic,  the  other  a  believer.  In  fact  the 
whole  play  is  a  balance  of  opposites.  Amongst 
these  people  there  is  introduced  a  conjuror  who  is 
no  ordinary  conjuror,  but  one  who  has. power  over 
supernatural  beings  and  can  unloose  demons. 
By  the  aid  of  the  demons  that  he  summons  the 
conjuror  performs  magic,  the  sort  that  cannot  be 
explained  by  science  and  wherein  a  red  light  can 
turn  blue  without  any  apparent  cause,  and  the 
American  boy  goes  mad  trying  to  find  a  scientific 
solution  of  this  miracle.  In  the  end  one  wonders 
whether  Chesterton  really  gets  anywhere  with  his 
theory,  for  when  the  conjuror  pretends  to  find  an 
explanation  for  his  magic  as  a  testimony  of  his  love 
for  Patricia,  like  a  flash  our  illusions  vanish,  and 
we  begin  to  wonder  whether  all  this  talk  of  magic 
isn't  a  hoax  after  all.  The  introduction  of  the 
love-story  is  jarring,  for,  whatever  else  he  may  be, 
Chesterton  is  no  master  of  romance. 

The  acting  was  better  than  at  any  other  perform- 
ance at  Hart  House  this  year.  Three  characters 
stood  out  above  the  rest.  Mr  Hodder  Williams 
played  the  rather  exaggerated  part  of  the  Duke 
particularly  well,  Mr  A.  Monro  Grier  invested  the 
character  of  Dr  Grimthorpe  with  fine  human 
colour,  while  in  Mr  Bertram  Forsyth's  finished 
execution  of  the  part  of  the  conjuror  the  character 
was  divested  of  most  of  its  tendency  towards  the 
fantastic. 

The  next  performance  to  be  given  at  the  Hart 
House  Theatre  will  be  "Playbills",  which  is  des- 
cribed as  a  Georgian  revue,  arranged  by  Bertram 
Forsyth.  It  consists  of  a  number  of  excerpts  from 
plays  which  were  popular  about  1800  and  is  pro- 
duced as  it  might  be  expected  that  they  were 
produced  at  that  .time.  The  play  will  be  given 
during  the  week  of  February  21  and  one  may 
anticipate  that  it  will  be  a  novel  performance. 


Professor  McMurrich  Honoured  by  A.A.A.S. 

By  ALEXANDER  PRIMROSE 
DEAN  OF  THE  FACULTY  OF  MEDICINE 


-  James  Play  fair  McMurrich,  Frofessor  of 
Anatomy  in  the  University  of  Toronto, 
has  recently  been  the  recipient  of  high 
honour  in  being  elected  President  of  the 
American  Association  for  the  Advance- 
ment of  Science.  This  distinction  was 
conferred  upon  him  at  the  close  of  the 
meeting  of  the  Association  in  Toronto  last 
month,  and  is  a  fitting  tribute  to  one  who 
has  attained  a  foremost  place  in  the  scien- 
tific world. 

Both  in  teaching  and  in  scientific  re- 
search Professor  McMurrich  has  carried 
on  his  activities  in  a  number  "of  different 
centres.  After  graduating  in  Arts  in  the 
University  of  Toronto  (B.A.,  1879,  M.A., 
1881)  he  proceeded  to  Johns  Hopkins 
University,  Baltimore,  where  he  obtained 
the  degree  of  Ph.D.,  and  became  an  in- 
structor in  Mammalian  Anatomy,  sub- 
sequently he  held  important  positions  in 
Biology  and  Anatomy  in  Clark  University, 
Worcester,  Massachusetts,  in  the  Univer- 
sity of  Cincinnati,  and  in  the  University 
of  Michigan.  From  Michigan,  where,  for 
twelve  years,  he  was  Professor  of  Anatomy, 
he  came  back  to  his  alma  mater  and  since 
1907  he  has  been  head  of  the  Anatomical 
Department  in  the  University  of  Toronto. 

Professor  McMurrich  has  been  a  con- 
tributor to  the  transactions  of  many 
scientific  societies.  He  is  a  member  of 
the  Advisory  Board  of  the  Wistar  Institute, 
Philadelphia,  and  is  a  past-President  of 
both  the  American  Association  of  Anato- 
mists and  of  the  American  Society  of 
Naturalists.  He  is  a  fellow  of  the  Royal 
Society  of  Canada,  of  the  Royal  Micro- 
scopical Society  and  corresponding  member 
of  the  London  Zoological  Society.  He  is 
the  author  of  several  text-books  and  many 
scientific  articles.  In  the  University  of 
Toronto  his  influence  has  been  singularly 
effective  in  assisting  to  determine  the 
broader  principles  of  University  Policy  as 
dealt  with  by  the  Senate  of  which  he  is  a 
member.  He  occupies  a  most  important 
and  responsible  position  as  Chairman  of  the 
Committee  on  Post  Graduate  Studies. 

As  a  teacher  in  Science  Professor 
McMurrich  enjoys  an  enviable  reputation. 
The  students  who  pursue  their  studies 
under  his  direction  are  fortunate  in  having 


inculcated  principles  which  lead  them  to 
cultivate  the  true  scientific  spirit  and  to 
acquire  knowledge  which  is  not  only  of 
practical  service  in  the  practice  of  their 
profession  but  is  also  of  great  cultural 
value.  He  lectures  both  in  the  Faculty  of 
Arts  and  in  the  Faculty  of  Medicine.  To 
medical  students  he  gives  a  short  course 
on  the  History  of  Medicine.  His  sym- 
pathies are  broad  and  his  attainments

the  Advancement  of  Science.     n^^^WUm 

cover  a  wide  field  both  in  science  and  in 
literature.  In  the  field  of  Research  he 
has  accomplished  much  valuable  work. 
He  is  a  strong  advocate  of  greater  facilities 
for  Research  in  the  University  of  Toronto 
and  his  influence  is  felt  in  the  effort  which 
is  at  present  being  made  to  provide  better 
equipment  and  greater  opportunity  for 
those  who  wish  to  pursue  Research  work.

The  honour  which  has  come  to  Professor 
McMurrich  in  thus  creating  him  President 
of  the  American  Association  for  the  Ad- 
vancement of  Science  will  be  welcomed  by 
his  colleagues  and  former  students  who 
are  unanimous  in  considering  it  a  just 
recognition  of  the  splendid  work  which 
he  has  accomplished  and  of  the  important 


position  as  an  Educationist  and  Research 
Scholar  which  he  still  holds  in  the  Univer- 
sity of  Toronto.  The  new  Laboratories 
of  the  Department  of  Anatomy,  now  in 
process  ol  erection,  were  planned  by  him 
and  on  their  completion  will  stand  as  a 
fitting  memorial  of  his  life  and  work.

Charles  W.  Flint  Appointed  Chancellor  of 
Syracuse  University 

By  R.  P.  STOUFFER,  ASSISTANT  EDITOR,  Toronto  Sunday  World 


ANOTHER  Canadian,  a  graduate  of  the 
University  of  Toronto,  has  been 
chosen  head  of  an  American  Univer- 
sity. The  chancellorship  of  Syracuse 
University  has  been  offered  to  Charles 
Wesley  Flint,  '00  Victoria  College,  now 
President  of  Cornell  College,  Iowa. 

Dr  Flint  is  the  descendant  of  two  re- 
markable country  preachers  and  the  pupil 
of  two  teachers  of  extraordinary  indi- 
viduality. His  grandfather,  George  Flint, 
senior,  a  cabinetmaker  by  trade  and  an 
itinerant  preacher  by  preference,  was  of 
great  native  ability  and  wit.  To  walk 
thirty  miles,  preach  at  three  public  services 
and  conduct  three  class  meetings,  after  a 
hard  week  at  the  bench — this  was  quite 
the  regular  Sunday  rest  for  "Father" 
Flint.  George  Flint,  junior,  of  frail 
physique  but  a  burning  passion  for  right- 
eousness, gave  a  lifetime  to  the  cause  of 
prohibition  and  became  as  widely  known 
throughout  York  and  Ontario  counties  for 
"gospel  temperance"  orations  as  his  father 
for  camp  meeting  exhortations.  Inheriting 
the  robust  and  jovial  character  of  his 
grandfather,  Charles  Wesley  Flint  early 
displayed  pulpit  gifts  of  no  mean  order. 

Corrective  discipline  of  a  sternness 
seldom  found  outside  an  English  public 
school  was  applied  by  Mr  James  Hand,  of 
the  Stouffville  Public  School,  one  of  the 
most  lovable  and  yet  most  severe  of  school- 
masters. Leaving  the  public  school  in  his 
native  village,  Flint  encountered  at  Mark- 
ham  High  School  the  kindling  enthusiasm 
of  George  H.  Reed,  principal  and  classical 
master,  whose  ability  to  make  Latin  prose 
the  best-loved  period  of  the  day  was 
something  for  all  to  envy.  That  Flint  won 
the  Prince  of  Wales  scholarship  on  entrance 
to  the  University  of  Toronto  is  testimony 
as  much  to  his  teachers  as  to  his  parents. 

As  Prince  of  Wales  man  from  this  small 
school,  C.  W.  Flint  has  since  been  rivalled 
by  Herbert  Jordan,  now  of  Lawrence, 
Kansas,  and  Professor  Frank  H.  Underhill 
of  the  University  of  Saskatchewan,  the 
three  having  been  born  within  three  miles 
of  each  other,  while  Underhill  and  Flint 
are  from  the  same  village. 

At  Victoria  College,  Charlie  Flint  made 
many  friends  and  his  capabilities  won  the 
respect  of  all.  Gifted  with  a  wonderful 
memory  and  a  quick  mind,  he  took  his 


honours  lightly  and  showed  an  increasing 
aptitude  for  the  pulpit. 

Following  graduation  he  attended  Drew 
Theological  Seminary  securing  the  degree 
of  Bachelor  of  Divinity,  and  Columbia 
University  where  he  took  a  Master  of  Arts 
course.  For  some  time  he  was  pastor  of 
the  First  Methodist  Church,  Middletown, 
Connecticut,  and  later  of  New  York 
Avenue  Church,  Brooklyn.  From  this 
latter  position  he  was  called  to  the  presi- 
dency of  Cornell  College. 


CHARLES  W.  FLINT,  Vic.   '00 

Dr  Flint  will  bring  to  his  new  position — 
one  of  heavy  responsibilities,  for  Syracuse 
is  a  large  institution  with  some  5,000 
students- — abilities  and  experience  admir- 
ably suited  to  the  task.  For  five  years  he 
has  guided  with  outstanding  success  the 
destinies  of  one  of  the  leading  Methodist 
colleges  of  the  Middle  West.  He  has  shown 
himself  to  be  an  administrator  of  high 
order.  His  public  gifts  are  no  less,  and 
his  scholarship,  nurtured  in  Canada,  is  wrell 
founded. 

President  Flint  has  never  forgotten 
Canadian  associations.  He  was  among  the 
first  to  congratulate  Victoria  on  the  re- 
organization of  her  Alumni  Association. 
He  is  a  frequent  visitor  in  Toronto.

U.  C  Women  in  Social  Service  Work 


BY  EMMY  LOU  CARTER 


'  I  ^HE  field  of  social  service  presents  tre- 
1  mendous  opportunities.  All  those 
who  take  the  responsibility  of  citizen- 
ship seriously,  and  who  would  understand 
and  solve  the  problems  of  the  community 
effectively,  are  serving  society.  But  those 
who  have  acquired  an  intimate  knowledge 
of  modern  social  and  industrial  conditions, 
and  are  using  their  knowledge  to  raise  the 
standard  of  living  are  making  a  vital  con- 
tribution to  the  welfare  of  the  state. 

Although  social  service  work  as  a  pro- 
fession for  women  is  a  comparatively 
recent  development,  University  College 
already  has  several  graduates  who  have 
won  distinction.  Miss  Margaret  Strong 
was  at  first  Inspector  of  Public  Schools  in 
New  Westminster,  an  unusual  post  for  a 
woman  to  hold.  Later  she  became  secre- 
tary and  confidential  adviser  to  Dr  Riddell 
in  the  Department  of  Labour  for  the  Pro- 
vince of  Ontario.  She  made  the  prelimi- 
nary investigations,  wrote  the  report  and 
drafted  the  bill  for  the  Mothers'  Pensions 
Act.  She  is  now  secretary  to  Dr  Riddell, 
head  of  the  Agricultural  section  of  the 
International  Labour  Office  in  Geneva. 

The  Womens'  Section  of  the  Govern- 
ment Employment  Bureau  of  Ontario  is 
being  efficiently  managed  by  Miss  Marion 
Findlay,  a  graduate  of  1908.  For  some 
time  she  was  a  resident  worker  at  Evan- 
gelea  Settlement,  and  while  there  was 
correspondent  for  the  Labour  Gazette  at 
Ottawa. 

Some  splendid  pioneer  work  in  connec- 
tion with  Women's  Employment  has  been 
accomplished  by  Miss  Ethel  McRobert  of 
'09,  who  was  in  charge  of  the  Government 
Labour  Bureau  in  London,  Ontario.  She 
was  offered  a  scholarship  by  the  Women's 
Educational  Union  of  Boston.  There  she 
took  a  course  in  vocational  guidance — a 
training  for  social  work  along  vocational 
lines.  She  is  the  only  Canadian  woman 
trained  in  this  particular  branch  of  social 
work.  After  broadening  her  experience 
by  visiting  other  industrial  cities  she  re- 
turned to  Canada  but  so  far  there  has  been 
no  opening  for  her. 


The  Relationship  between  capital  £fid 
labour  in  modern  industry  has  a  very 
marked  effect  upon  the  well-being  and 
prosperity  of  the  nation.  Not  only  has 
trade  unionism  and  industrial  legislation 
demanded  certain  rights  for  labour,  but 
it  is  of  real  economic  value  to  the  employer 
to  provide  the  best  possible  conditions  for 
his  employees,  and  to  reduce  his  labour 
turnover  to  the  minimum.  To  obtain  satis- 
factory employees  and  to  keep  them  con- 
tented is  the  duty  of  the  service  supervisor. 
This  post  in  the  Imperial  Cotton  Company, 
Ltd.,  of  Hamilton,  is  held  by  Miss  Mono 
McLaughlin  of  r09.  She  first  became 
interested  in  social  work  when  she  was 
appointed  Secretary  of  the  Neighbourhood 
Workers'  Association  by  the  Social  Service 
Commission  of  Toronto.  During  the  war 
she  was  official  investigator  for  the  Patriotic 
Fund.  She  next  undertook  the  duties  of 
Provincial  Factory  Inspector,  seldom  per- 
formed by  a  university  woman.  For  the 
past  three  years  she  has  been  connected 
with  the  Imperial  Cotton  Co.,  Ltd.  Asso- 
ciated with  her  is  Miss  Jean  MacRae  of  '13, 
who  was  first,  resident  worker  at  the 
University  Settlement  for  two  years.  For 
two  years  she  was  Employment  Manager 
for  the  McCormack  Mfg.  Co.  of  London, 
Ontario,  and  is  now  doing  employment  and 
service  work  with  the  Imperial  Cotton  Co. 
Ltd. 

In  an  entirely  different  direction  Miss 
Vera  Parsons  '11  has  been  giving  her  ser- 
vices to  the  foreign  citizens  of  Toronto. 
After  securing  her  M.A.  from  the  Univer- 
sity she  obtained  a  travelling  fellowship 
from  Bryn  Mawr  and  intended  to  com- 
plete her  Ph.D.  abroad.  Then  war  broke 
out.  She  took  up  residence  in  Central 
Neighbourhood  House,  and,  being  a  fluent 
Italian  and  Russian  linguist  found  ample 
scope  for  her  abilities.  She  interpreted  at 
hospital  clinics,  and  the  Juvenile  and 
Women's  Courts.  Last  year  she  spent  in 
Italy  continuing  her  studies.  In  the 
autumn  of  1921  she  registered  at  Osgoode 
Hall  where  she  intends  to  specialize  in 
criminal  law.

Miss  Gertrude  Graydon  of  1912  is  one 
of  the  few  women  who  has  entered  social 
service  work  immediately  upon  graduating. 
After  taking  her  preliminary  training  at 
Central  Neighbourhood  House  she  became 
resident  worker  at  Greenwich  House,  New 
York.  She  was  investigator  for  the  United 
States  Department  of  Labour  along  em- 
ployment lines  and  is  now  investigating 
a  special  branch  of  industrial  medicine. 

The  demand  for  social  service  workers 
has  become  so  great  that,  in  1914,  the 
University  of  Toronto  established  the  first 
training  school  in  Social  Service  in  Canada. 


The  department  is  so  fortunate  as  to  have 
Professor  Dale,  M.A.  (Oxon)  as  director 
and  associated  with  him  Miss  Agnes 
McGregor,  director  of  field  work.  The 
course  of  one  year  can  touch  but  briefly 
the  multitude  of  subjects  bearing  upon 
social  service,  but  it  helps  to  prepare  the 
student  to  meet  the  social,  industrial  and 
economic  conditions  with  which  she  is  con- 
fronted in  welfare  work.  After  which  it  is 
her  broad  sympathy,  good  judgment,  and 
resourcefulness  which  bring  individual 
success. 


The  Dean  of  Women  at  Victoria  College 

By  EDITH  FRANCES  ADAMS,  '12 


MARGARET  E.  T.  ADDISON  is  a  con- 
nection of  the  great  Joseph  Addison 
of  Taller  fame,  and  the  daughter  of 
a  Methodist  minister.     From  an  early  age 
she  was  dedicated  by  her  parents  to  a  life 
of  teaching,  and  as  it  happened  was  the 
fourth  in  direct  line  on  her  mother's  side  to 
follow  that  splendid  profession. 

In  the  year  1889,  while  Victoria  College 
was  still  in  Cobourg,  Ontario,  Miss  Addi- 
son, the  youngest  woman  graduate  of  her 
time,  took  her  degree  of  B.A.  For  some 
years  after  that,  she  taught  in  the  Lindsay 
and  Stratford  High  Schools,  until  in  1903 
Annesley  Hall  was  formally  opened  in 
Toronto  as  a  residence  for  the  women  of 
Victoria,  and  Miss  Addison  was  chosen 
as  Dean.  This  position  she  filled  until 
1919-1920,  when  she  took  up  the  broader 
duties  of  Dean  of  Victoria  women. 

During  all  her  life  in  Toronto  and  before, 
Miss  Addison 's  interest  in  College  matters 
generally  has  been  very  keen.  The 
Women's  Alumnae  Association  was  formed 
in  1891,  and  she  was  its  first  president,  and 
was  instrumental  in  adding  to  it  the  under- 
graduate women  of  the  College.  To-day 
there  ^  is  a  branch  of  this  Association  in 
Karnizawa  in  Japan;  while  each  graduate, 
scattered  far  over  the  world,  receives  once 
a  year  a  long  newsy  letter  from  her  former 
Dean — a  letter  outlining  Ontario  politics, 
College  athletics  and  general  news,  in- 
creased enrolment  and  changes  at  Annesley 
Hall ;  so  that  many  graduates  who  have  not 
seen  Toronto  for  years,  gain  a  much  better 
knowledge  of  college  events  than  we  who 
live  here. 


Miss  Addison  was  a  member  of  the 
Committee  of  United  Alumnae  who 
brought  a  protest  to  the  President  and  the 
Board  of  Governors  against  the  possible 
establishment  of  a  separate  College  for 
women.  In  1909  she  assisted  largely  in 
compiling  and  distributing  the  Report  on 
the  need  of  a  Dean  of  Women  in  residences. 
She  attended  the  Conference  of  the  Uni- 
versities of  the  Empire  in  England  in  1912, 
reporting  these  meetings  on  her  return. 
For  years  she  has  been  a  member  of  the 
Dominion  Council  of  the  Y.W.C.A.  and 
the  Religious  Educational  Conference  of 
Canada;  she  was  president  of  the  Univer- 
sity Women's  Club  in  1911-1921,  and  is

UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO  MONTHLY 


now  President  of  the  Victoria  Women's 
Association. 

But  the  interest  nearest  to  Miss  Addi- 
son's  heart  has  always  been — women;  their 
problems,  and  the  solution  of  them;  and 
in  particular,  the  problems  of  girls  in 
residence.  For  with  the  opening  of  Annes- 
ley  Hall  came  absolutely  pioneer  work, 
since  it  was  then  the  first  women's  residence 
in  Canada  of  less  than  fifty  population, 
that  was  not  also  a  college  in  itself.  The 
Dean's  duties  comprised  all  the  nursing, 
the  entertaining,  and  most  difficult  of  all, 
the  organization  of  discipline  and  govern- 
ment. 

At  first,  the  seniors  refused  to  have 
student  government;  but  by  the  end  of  the 
year  they  had  asked  for  it;  so  that  soon 
there  was  drawn  up  a  working  "  agree-

1921,  this  is  now  a  more  liberal  form  of 
government  than  that  of  any  other  resi- 
dence in  Toronto. 

There  are  now  241  .women  undergradu- 
ates at  Victoria  College.  Sixty-six  are  in 
Annesley  Hall,  and  eighty  are  in  the  four 
annexes  connected  with  it;  and  so  success- 
ful has  student  government  proved  among 
this  steadily  increasing  population,  that 
fourteen  institutions  have  written  to  the 
Dean  with  inquiries  and  requests  for  advice. 

Miss  Addison  has  always  held  that  since 
residence  life;  is  "simply  a  world  in  minia- 
ture, it  must  aim  to  acquire  and  sustain 
an  atmosphere  in  which  the  problems  of 
living  can  be  most  sanely  solved. 

With  Lord  Rosebery  she  might  remark 
"I  care  less  for  their  brains  than  their 
character  " ;  for  always  she  has  endeavoured 
through  her  unfailing  patience  with  per- 
sonal difficulties  whether  trivial  or  terri- 
fying, her  graciousness  of  mind  and 
manner,  the  ever-increasing  wisdom  of 
her  own  experience,- — and  above  all, 
through  her  splendid  moral  courage,  to 
bring  out  and  strengthen  in  each  under- 
graduate her  best  and  finest  quality — her 
real  self.

ALLAN    CUP    HOLDERS    EXPERIENCE 
DIFFICULTIES 

,  Hockey  predictions  have  again  gone  awry.  Our 
Allan  Cup  holders  after  a  brilliant  tour  in  which 
they  met  the  best  teams  of  the  Eastern  United 
States,  winning  seven  games  in  almost  as  many 
days,  have  suffered  three  successive  defeats  in  the 
Senior  O.H.A.,  the  league  in  which  they  have  elected 
to  take  their  chances  of  reaching  the  1922  Allan 
Cup  series.  But  the  night's  still  young.  The 
O.H.A.  series  is  a  home-and-home-game  one,  and 
therunners-up  play  the  winners  for  the  champion- 
ship, so  Varsity's  chances  are  by  no  means  hopeless 
yet.  An  easing  up  in  the  schedule,  a  break  or  two, 
and  the  old  fighting  spirit  may  keep  the  Canadian 
championship  cup  in  Hart  House  after  all. 

But  no  matter  how  the  score  boards  read,  Varsity 
may  always  be  proud  of  its  Hockey  Team — clean 
and  gentlemanly  players,  they  are  ever  a  credit 
to  the  University  of  our  affections.  Of  their  work 
in  Boston,  the  Transcript  said:  "The  University 
of  Toronto  Hockey  Team  has  done  more  for  ice 
hockey  in  Boston  in  two  nights  than  ten  years  of 
effort  on  the  part  of  the  game's  supporters  here. 
They  are  by  far  the  best  and  cleanest  team  that 

ever  played  here The  feature  of 

*their  play  was  always  the  unselfish  cohesive, 
co-operative  pass  work  of  the  players,  no  one 
seeking  laurels  for  himself,  each  striving  for  the 
success  of  the  team." 

Varsity  should  win  the  Intercollegiate  Series 
without  great  effort.  Queen's  did  not  show  strength 
in  the  game  at  Toronto  on  January  21.  Varsity 
piled  up  a  large  score  and  then  allowed  a  number 
of  easy  ones  to  be  scored  in  the  last  period.  The 
score  was  12-6. 

Varsity  will  play  McGill  in  Toronto  on  January 
28  and  in  Montreal  on  February  17;  and  Queen's 
in  Kingston  on  February  10. 


PROFESSOR  COCKBURN  BUILDS  A  BOAT 
FOR  ROWING  CLUB 

A  crypt  beneath  the  old  Red  School  House  has 
been  converted  into  a  boat  building  shop.  Here 
under  the  supervision  of  Roy  Cockburn  a  fifty-five 
foot,  eight-oared,  work  boat  for  the  Varsity  Rowing 
Club  has  been  laid  out  and  is  rising  from  the  earth, 
ribs  first,  like  an  ocean  liner.  Professor  Cockburn 
admits  that  his  experience  in  the  building  of  wooden 
boats  is  limited  but  claims  that  by  reason  of  his 
knowledge  of  steel  ship  construction  his  boat  is 
going  to  be  better  than  other  boats  of  its  kind, 
albeit  in  many  ways  different.  It  will  weigh  only 
about  half  that  of  the  usual  work  boat.  The  work 
is  being  done  chiefly  by  students.  Tommy  Loudon 
has  had  his  men  working  on  the  rowing  machines 
in  Hart  House  for  some  time.  There  is  a  wealth 
of  good  material  around  the  University  and  the 
Rowing  Club  supporters  are  predicting  great  things. 
A  trip  to  England  and  a  crew  at  the  next  Olympiad 
are  among  the  projects  Coach  Loudon  has  in  mind. 

Meanwhile  there  is  the  question  of  quarters  for 
the  summer.  The  Argonaut  Club  is  moving  and 
it  may  not  be  possible  to  renew  the  arrangement 
with  them.  A  University  boat  house  on  the  bay 
is  what  is  needed. 


GOOD  BASKETBALL  TEAM  THIS  YEAR 

On  its  Christmas  vacation  tour  the  Varsity 
Basketball  Team  won  five  out  of  eleven  games, 
which,  considering  the  calibre  of  the  clubs  they 
engaged,  is  a  good  showing.  They  were  beaten 
with  only  a  small  margin  by  the  Colgate  University 
team  which  is  in  line  for  the  championship  of  the 
Eastern  States.  In  a  game  at  Toronto  on  January 
21,  Queen's  were  defeated  by  a  score  of  47-17. 


JACK  LANGTRY 

popular  captain  of  the  Hockey  Team.  In  the  recent  war 
he  won  the  French  Medaille  Militaire,  the  British  D.C.M., 
and  Military  Medal. 

HOCKEY  FOR  WOMEN      % 

Intercollegiate  Hockey  for  women  is  the  latest 
agitation.  There  have  been  Faculty  teams  for 
some  years,  why  not  a  University  team  to  play 
against  Qileen's  and  McGill?  Lack  of  funds  is 
the  great  difficulty  in  the  way.  But  perhaps  an 
intercollege  women's  hockey  feature  in  the  Arena 
would  draw  a  big  gate.  Who  knows?  We  may 
see  it  yet.

WATER  POLO  TO  THE  FORE 

Water  polo  has  become  one  of  the  major  inter- 
faculty  sports.  A  double  schedule  is  being  played. 
It  is  a  more  strenuous  game  in  the  Hart  House 
tank  than  it  used  to  be  in  the  old  gymnasium  tank 
in  which  the  tall  man  could  keep  his  feet  on  the 
bottom  and  his  head  above  water  without  difficulty. 
The  Hart  House  tank  is  six  feet  deep  throughout, 
and  is  twenty- five  yards  in  length. 

DEATH  OF  PROFESSOR  WILLIAMS 

Hundreds  of  graduates  will  learn  with  regret  of 
the  death  of  Alfred  Williams,  affectionately  known 
to  many  generations  of  students  as  "  Prof ' '  Williams. 
Mr  Williams  came  to  the  University  as  instructor 
in  charge  of  the  gymnasium  in  1890  and  for  over 
twenty  years  was  in  active  charge  of  indoor  atriletics. 
His  previous  army  experience  gave  him  particular 
prominence  in  fencing  and  floor  work.  During  the 
recent  war  he  served  as  instructor  with  the  48th 
Highlanders.

ROUMANIA  IN  LIGHT  AND  SHADOW 

Madame  Pantazzi  is  a  Canadian  girl  who, 
a  number  of  years  ago,  went  to  find  a  home 
and  country  in  Roumania.  She  has  lived 
very  closely  to  all  classes  in  her  adopted  land 
and  has  had  some  remarkable  experiences 
which  are  most  ably  portrayed  in  the  book. 
This  volume,  by  the  way,  gives  probably  the 
best  picture  extant  of  Roumania  as  it  was 
before  the  war  and  to-day. 

A  large  book,  English  made,  280  pages,

NOTES  OF  LIFE  AND  LETTERS 

This  book  presents  Conrad  in  something 
of  a  new  light  as  a  biographer,  essayist  and 
autobiographer.  To  those  who  love  Conrad's 
style  and  presentation  it  would  be  exceed- 
ingly acceptable.  His  treatment  of  con- 
temporary writers  is,  as  that  of  all  his  work, 
inimitable.

Why  have  57,000  College  Men 

enrolled  in  the 

Alexander  Hamilton  Institute? 


President  of  the 
J.  largest  institution  of  its 
kind  in  America — a  man 
still  in  his  forties — was 
commenting  on  his  own 
experience  in  business. 

"When  I  graduated  from  col- 
lege I  supposed  I  was  equipped 
with  the  training  necessary  to 
business  success,"  he  said. 

"As  a  matter  of  fact  I  had 
nothing  more  than  a  bare  foun- 
dation. I  discovered  that  fact 
even  in  my  first  job,  and  for 
weeks  I  spent  my  evenings  in  a 
night  school  trying  to  master 
the  elements  of  cost-finding  and 
accountancy. 

"Later  as  I  made  my  way  up 
toward  executive  positions  I 
found  I  needed  to  know  the 
fundamentals  of  sales  and  mer- 
chandising, of  advertising  and 
factory  management,  of  office 
organization  and  corporation 
finance. 

"These  I  picked  up  from  books 
as  best  I  could.  Probably  my 
college  training  made  it  easier 
for  me  to  acquire  them;  but  the 
college  training  alone  certainly 
was  not  an  adequate  preparation 
for  business  in  my  case.  I  doubt 
if  it  is  for  any  man." 

More  than  155,000  men 
in  11  years 

The  Alexander  Hamilton  Insti- 
tutte  was  not  founded  early 
enough  to  be  of  service  to  this 
man;  but  it  grew  out  of  an  ap- 
preciation of  the  needs  of  men 
of  just  this  type. 


In  the  eleven  years  of  its  exis- 
tence the  Institute  has  enrolled 
more  than  155,000  men  who  are 
today  making  more  rapid  pro- 
gress in  business  as  a  result  of 
its  training. 

Of  these  155,000  no  less  than 
57,000  are  graduates  of  colleges 
and  universities. 

This  is  the  Institute's  mark 
of  distinction — that  its  appeal 
is  to  the  unusual  man.  It  has 
only  one  Course,  embracing  the 
fundamentals  underlying  all 
business,  and  its  training  fits  a 
man  for  the  sort  of  executive 
positions  where  demand  always 
outruns  supply. 


achieves  this  splendid  result, 
that  its  training  is  practical  and 
immediately  applicable  to  the 
problems  of  every  business, 
the  records  of  155,000  business 
men,  in  every  kind  of  business, 
prove. 

At  least  you  will  want 
the  facts 

Every  college  man  in  business 
is  interested  in  business  training. 
He  is  interested  in  it  either  as  a 
factor  in  his  own  progress;  or  as 
a  factor  in  the  progress  of  the 
younger  men  associated  with 
him,  who  are  constantly  turning 
to  him  for  advice. 


The  splendid  privilege  of 
saving  wasted  years 

One  of  the  tragedies  of  the 
business  world  is  that  so  many 
college  men  spend  so  many  of 
the  best  years  of  their  lives  in 
doing  tasks  which  they  know  are 
below  their  real  capacities. 

It    is    the    privilege    of    the 
Institute  to  save  those  wasted 
years — to    give    a    man    in    the 
leisure  moments  of  a  few  months 
the  working  knowl- 
edge of  the  various 
departments     of 
modern   business 
which   would    ordi- 
narily take   him 
years  to  acquire. 

That  the  Insti- 
tute's ModernBusi- 
ness  Course  and 
Service  actually 


To  put  all  the  facts  regarding 
the  Modern  Business  Course 
and  Service  in  convenient  form 
the  Alexander  Hamilton  In- 
stitute has  prepared  a  120-page

and  specifically  what  the  Course 
is  and  what  it  has  done  for  other 
men.  There  is  a  copy  of  this

News  and  Comments 


Mr  E.  W.  Beatty  has  recently  written 

the    President   offering   on   behalf   of   the 

Canadian         Pacific 

Graduate  Railway,  three  per- 

Fellowships  manent  graduate  fel- 

Donated  lowships  of  $500  a 

year  each.  The  fel- 
lowships are  open  to  graduates  of  Western 
universities  who  wish  to  pursue  graduate 
work  at  Toronto.  A  fellowship  of  $500 
value  for  next  year  has  also  been  given 
by  Sir  Edward  Kemp. 

These  fellowships  were  offered  as  a 
result  of  an  appeal  which  President 
Falconer  recently  addressed  to  a  number 
of  industrial  firms.  The  appeal  was  based 
primarily  on  the  importance  of  attracting 
Western  students  to  Eastern  Canada 
rather  than  having  them  go  to  American 
universities  for  graduate  work.  Sir  Rob- 
ert pointed  out  that  the  linking  of  East 
and  West  is  one  of  Canada's  most  serious 
national  problems.  At  the  present  time 
many  Western  students  go  for  advanced 
work  to  Chicago,  Wisconsin,  and  other 
American  institutions  and  return  to  become 
leaders  in  their  native  provinces  without 
having  any  first  hand  knowledge  of  Eastern 
Canada.  If  these  students  were  to  receive 
part  of  their  education  in  Eastern  Canada, 
they  would  form  important  links  between 
the  two  sections  of  the  country.  American 
universities  are  able  to  offer  large  fellow- 
ships and  unless  the  universities  of  Eastern 
Canada  are  able  to  do  the  same  they 
cannot  hope  to  secure  graduate  students 
from  Western  Canada. 

Under  the  will  of  the  late  Dr  Moses 
Henry  Aikins,  '55,  who  was  a  member  of 

the  first  graduating 

Victoria  College  class  of  Victoria 
Benefits  Under  College,  the  College 
Will  Of  Dr  Aikins  benefits  to  the  extent 

of  some  $95,000.  Dr 

Aikins  left  an  estate  of  $650,000  of  which 
$375,000  was  willed  to  be  divided  equally 
among  Victoria  College,  Toronto  General 
Hospital,  Hospital  for  Sick  Children,  and 
the  Salvation  Army.  $20,000  is  to  be  used 


for  the  establishment  of  matriculation 
scholarships  to  be  designated  as  the  Moses 
Henry  Aikins  Scholarships,  and  the  balance 
as  an  endowment  fund,  the  interest  to 
be  used  for  providing  a  retiring  allowance 
for  the  professorial  staff. 

For  the  first  time  in  a  number  of  years 
a  University  Theatre  Night  was  held  on. 
February  16.    Theper- 
Theatre  Night       formance  was  H.M.S. 
Again  Pinafore  at   the   Prin- 

Inaugurated          cess  Theatre. 

It  was  reported  that 

the  audience  was  "exceedingly  well  behav- 
ed" and  that  the  only  sign  of  rowdiness 
was  the  throwing  of  paper  between  the 
acts. 

Graduates  of  some  years  back  will 
remember  Theatre  Nights  of  quite  a 
different  order,  when  the  patrons  of  the 
"gods"  were  wont  to  come  armed  with 
much  more  formidable  weapons.  Since 
the  night  when  a  cow  bell  and  similar 
musical  instruments  proved  too*  much  for 
Forbes  Robertson,  theatre  managers  have 
consistently  shunned  the  approaches  of 
student  organizations  wishing  to  hold  a 
Theatre  Night.

The  Varsity  recalls  the  fact  that  it  was 
thirty-two  years  ago  on  the  14th  of 
February  that  the  dis- 
U.C.  Fire  asterous  University 

Thirty-two  College  fire  occurred. 

Years  Ago  As  the  guests  were 

gathering  for  the  An- 
nual Conversazione  of  the  Literary  and 
Scientific  Society  the  cry  of  "Fire"  rang 
out  and  ere  long  the  whole  east  end  of 
the  building  was  in  flames.  One  of  the 
employees  of  the  University  had  tripped 
while  carrying  a  tray  of  lamps  from 
the  basement  to  the  Library  with  the 
result  that  the  stairway  was  ignited. 
There  was  no  fire  fighting  equipment 
available  and  nothing  could  be*  done  to 
materially  stem  the  fire's  course.  It 
smouldered  for  nearly  a  fortnight.

holiday  but  were  disappointed  as  accom- 
modation was  secured  in  the  School  of 
Practical  Science  and  in  Moss  Hall.  The 
following  June,  Convocation  exercises  were 
held  in  a  tent. 

Mr   Angus    MacMurchy,    Chairman    of 

the  Directors  of  the  Alumni  Federation, 

who  is  spending  a  few 

Classical  Spirit      months     vacation     in 

Not  Opposed          Europe,    has    sent    in 

To  Scientific  an    account    of    Lord 

Milner's      presidential 

address    to    the    Classical   Association   of 

England. 

Lord  Milner  was  of  the  opinion  that 
there  was  nothing  in  the  classical  spirit 
which  was  in  any  sense  opposed  to  the 
scientific  spirit,  and  that  if  Plato  and 
Aristotle  were  to  re-appear  among  men 
to-day  they  would  be  the  first  to  investi- 
gate the  achievements  of  science.  The 
whole  controversy  between  the  humanities 
and  physical  science  was,  he  hoped,  a 
thing  of  the  past.  A  well-rounded  edu- 
cation would  include  both.  He  drew 
attention  to  the  danger  involved  in  the 
advance  of  science  unaccompanied  by 
intellectual  'and  spiritual  progress.  "For 
a  restless  and  feverish  age,  distracted 
by  a  flood  of  new  discoveries  and  new  ideas 
which  it  had  not  time  to  digest,  prone  to 
excess  and  eccentricity  and  hasty  judg- 
ments insufficiently  tempered  by  remem- 
brance and  reflection,  there  was  balm  in 
the  sanity,  the  calmness,  the  balance,  the 
self-possession,  above  all  in  the  sense  of 
proportion,  which  were  the  distinctive 
qualities  of  classic  art  and  literature." 

The  Directors  of  the  Alumni  Federation 
have  again  decided  to  endeavour  to  assist 

soldier-students  who 
Summer  Work  are  receiving  assistance 
Wanted  from  the  Memorial 

Fund,  and  other  needy 
students,  in  securing  work  for  the  vacation 
period.  Readers  who  know  of  employment 
openings  are  urged  to  send  information  of 
them  to  the  Alumni  Office. 

It  is  anticipated  that  it  will  be  quite  as 
difficult  for  students  to  secure  remunera- 
tive employment  this  summer  as  last. 
There  seems  very  little  prospect  of  large 
industrial  firms  desiring  temporary  workers. 
The  public  schools  in  the  West  which 
used  to  absorb  so  many  atudents  as  teachers 


now  find  sufficient  teachers  among  the 
students  of  Western  universities.  Hard 
times,  too,  have  fallen  upon  the  canvassers. 
The  selling  of  books,  maps,  and  stereos- 
copic views  has  become  a  very  hazardous 
venture.  Apparently  students  will  have 
to  depart  from  the  beaten  paths  to  secure 
work  during  the  coming  summer. 

The  Hon.  N.  W.  Rowell  has  been  ap- 
pointed to  the  Board  of  Governors  of  the 
University  to  fill  the 
N.  W.  Rowell  vacancy  caused  by  the 
Appointed  to  resignation  of  Mr 
Governors  Home  Smith. 

Mr  Rowell  has  been 

for  many  years  closely  identified  with  the 
affairs  of  Victoria  College,  having  been  a 
member  of  the  Senate  and  Board  of 
Regents.  He  has  been  prominent  in 
public  affairs,  particularly  since  1911  when 
he  was  chosen  leader  of  the  Liberal  Op- 
position on  the  Ontario  Legislature.  In 
1917  he  entered  the  Union  Government 
at  Ottawa  and  became  president  of  the 
Privy  Council. 

Among  the  international  relationships 
which  the  World  War  interrupted  are 
the  exchange  professor- 
W.  A.  Braun  ships,  which  had  just 
Invited  as  begun  to  serve  a  useful 

Fxchange  purpose  in  promoting 

Professor  to  a  better  international 

Zurich  feeling  •  and  under- 

standing. So  far  as 
the  Central  European  nations  are  con- 
cerned, more  time  will  have  to  pass  before 
these  faculty  exchanges  can  be  restored 
to  their  full  pre-war  basis. 

But  it  is  an  ill  wind  that  blows  nobody 
good.  It  was  quite  natural  that  in  the 
first  years  after  the  war,  numbers  of 
foreign  students  seeking  a  German -speak- 
ing university  should  turn  to  the  uni- 
versities of  Switzerland  instead  of  going 
to  Germany.  Nor  were  these  universities 
slow  to  perceive  this  trend  and  to  encourage 
it. 

Now  the  leading  Swiss  university,  Zurich, 
has  evinced  a  desire  to  enter  into  closer 
academic  relations  with  America,  a  project 
which  is  being  supported  by  the  Swiss 
government  through  its  department  of 
education,  and  has  invited  Professor  Wil- 
liam A.  Braun,  of  the  Department  of 
Germanic  Languages  and  Literatures  in 


UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO  MONTHLY 


239 


Columbia  University,  as  visiting  professor 
for  the  winter  session  of  1922-23,  this 
being  the  first  appointment  of  an  American 
professor  at  a  Swiss  university.  Professor 
Braun  will  give  a  course  of  lectures  in 
the  German  language  on  conditions  in  the 
United  States.  He  will  begin  the  course 
some  time  in  October,  having  been  granted 
a  special  leave  of  absence  for  this  purpose 
for  the  first  half  of  the  next  academic  year. 
Professor  Braun  is  a  graduate  of  Uni- 
versity College  of  the  year  1895.  Shortly 
after  his  graduate  work  at  the  University 
of  Chicago  and  in  Germany,  he  was  ap- 
pointed to  the  staff  of  Columbia  Univer- 
sity, where  he  has  been  for  twenty  years. 
Although  so  long  expatriated  and  now  a 
citizen  of  the  Republic,  he  has  kept  in 
close  touch  with  his  Alma  Mater,  which 
he  visits  at  least  once  a  year  on  his  way 
to  or  from  his  summer  home  in  Muskoka. 

The  University  College  Alumni  Associ- 
ation is  preparing  a  memorial  to  be  pre- 
sented to  the  Board  of 
U.C.  Governors  urging  that 

Association  to  every  effort  be  made  to 
Present  restore  at  an  early  date 

Memorial  to  to  University  College 
Governors  the  building  now  known 

as  the  Main  Building. 

Attention  will  be  drawn  to  the  congested 
condition  of  the  rooms  now  occupied  by 
the  College,  both  in  the  matter  of  class 
rooms  and  of  professors'  private  rooms. 
It  will  be  pointed  out  that  until  the  build- 
ing is  relieved  of  the  administrative  offices 
the  College  cannot  perform  its  proper 
functions.  The  College  was  better  off  for 
space  forty  years  ago  although  the  building 
then  harboured  the  Museum,  Convocation 
Hall,  Library,  Science  Departments,  and  a 
residence,  than -it  is  to-day  when  all  these 
have  been  moved  to  other  buildings. 


The  members  of  the  expedition  were  all 
violently  mountain  sick. 


DR  JOSEPH  BARCROFT,  who  was  a  mem- 
ber of  an  expedition  which  recently  visited 
the  Andes  with  a  view  to  investigating 
physiological  effects  of  high  altitudes, 
lectured  before  the  Royal  Canadian  Insti- 
tute on  February  4. 

He  told  of  how  the  blood  of  the  natives 
showed  thirty-three  per  cent  more  of  red 
pigment  than  that  of  those  who  live  in 
lower  altitudes.  The  natives  were  small 
in  stature  but  had  chest  expansions  of  an 
ordinary  man  of  six  feet. 


FEBRUARY  is  THE  GIDDY  MONTH  in  under- 
graduate life.  It  is  the  time  of  relaxation 
preceding  strenuous  preparation  for  the 
spring  examinations.  Almost  every  orga- 
nization of  any  size  has  held  a  dance  or 
some  similar  function  during  the  past 
month.  The  "Dents"  and  "Meds"  were 
ambitious  and  held  their  at-homes  in  the 
new  ball-room  of  the  King  Edward  Hotel. 
The  other  Faculty  at-homes  were  held  in 
Hart  House.  On  the  whole,  however,  the 
session  has  been  characterized  by  a  passing 
of  the  dance  craze  which  during  the  two 
former  years  was  evident. 


A      NEW      DEPARTURE      IN      UNIVERSITY 

DEBATING  was  made  on  February  18  when 
representatives  of  the  McGill  and  Toronto 
Menorah  Societies  argued  on  "Resolved 
that  the  convocation  of  a  Jewish  congress 
in  Canada  at  the  present  moment  is  both 
feasible  and  necessary".  Toronto  was 
represented  by  David  Eisen,  and  J.  M. 
Stuchen,  '21.  The  decision  was  given  in 
favour  of  McGill. 


DR  C.  E.  SILCOX,  U.C.  '09,  minister  of 
First  Church  of  Christ,  Fairfield,  Conn., 
preached  the  College  sermon  on  January 
22.  Dr  Silcox  will  be  remembered  by 
many  as  being  very  prominent  in  under- 
graduate affairs  during  his  time  at  the 
University. 


AN  INDICATION   OF   THE   GROWTH   of   the 

University  is  found  in  the  fact  that 
twenty-five  years  ago  an  appeal  was  made 
to  the  Ontario  Government  to  make  good 
a  deficit  of  $18,000;  the  total  revenue  of 
the  University  at  that  time  was  $410,000, 
approximately  one-fifth  of  what  it  is  to-day. 


THE  GRADUATE  STUDENTS  OF  THE  UNI- 
VERSITY have  an  organization  known  as 
the  Graduate  Students'  Union.  Its  object 
is  to  create  a  spirit  of  solidarity  among  its 
members  and  to  promote  social  intercourse 
among  them.  At  a  recent  meeting  Mr  H. 
R.  Kemp  retired  from  the  Presidency  and 
Mr  M.  L.  Stokes  was  elected  in  his  place. 


THE  PRESIDENT  OF  PRINCETON  UNIVER-

UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO  MONTHLY 


to  refrain  from  giving  their  sons  auto- 
mobiles for  use  while  in  College.  It  is  his 
opinion  that  automobiles  are  detriments  to 
students. 


THE  REGISTRAR  HAS  RECEIVED  a  letter 
from  the  Board  of  Education  of  Saskatche- 
wan, pointing  out  that  it  is  expected  that 
there  will  be  a  sufficient  number  of  qualified 
teachers  within  the  Province  to  man  the 
Saskatchewan  schools  during  the  coming 
summer,  and  that  students  of  Eastern 
universities  who  are  not  fully  qualified 
need  not  apply  for  positions. 


DURING  THE  SESSION  which  from  the 
standpoint  of  undergraduate  extra- 
academic  activities  is  now  drawing  to  a 
close,  the  Music  Committee  of  Hart  House 
arranged  a  -very  fine  series  of  afternoon 
musicales.  These  were  held  in  the  Music 
Room,  Hart  House,  and  were  largely 
attended  by  the  music  lovers  of  the  Uni- 
versity constituency. 


H.  R.  CHRISTIE,  B.Sc.F.,  Toronto,  '12, 
has  been  appointed  assistant  professor  in 
the  Faculty  of  Forestry.  Mr  Christie  is 
at  present  professor  of  Forestry  at  the 
University  of  British  Columbia.  He  en- 
listed with  the  Engineers  during  the  first 
year  of  the  war  and  spent  four  years  in 
active  service. 


AT  A  DECENT  MEETING  of  the  University 
Senate,  a  resolution  of  sympathy  with 
Mrs  James  Ballantyne  in  her  bereavement 
was  passed.  At  the  next  preceding  meet- 
ing, Professor  Ballantyne  had  moved  a 
similar  resolution  in  reference  to  the  death 
of  Dr  John  Hoskin. 


THE  EXTENSION  DEPARTMENT  has  an- 
nounced the  Summer  Session  Course  for 
Teachers  which  affords  an  opportunity  for 
teachers  to  secure  university  credits  on 
the  course  leading  to  the  Bachelor  of  Arts 
degree.  Any  subject  will  be  given  for 
which  a  reasonable  number  of  applications 
is  received  prior  to  May  1. 

THE  FORESTRY  CLUB  of  the  University 
held  a  banquet  in  Hart  House  on  February 
9.  Sir  Robert  Falconer,  Dean  Howe,  Mr 
W.  C.  Cain,  Mr  E.  J.  Zavitz,  and  Mr 
R.  H.  Campbell  were  among  the  speakers. 


AN  AGITATION  HAS  BEEN  STARTED  to  have 

the  graduating  classes  present  a  picture 
to  Hart  House.  Since  the  opening  of  the 
House  a  number  of  very  fine  pictures  have 
been  loaned  at  different  times,  and  the 
suggestion  is  that  at  least  one  each  year 
should  be  purchased. 


DURING  FEBRUARY  the  two  choral 
organizations  of  the  University,  the  Uni- 
versity Glee  Club  and  the  Victoria  College 
Glee  Club,  gave  their  annual  concerts. 
Both  Clubs  gave  fine  concerts  and  were 
favoured  with  large  and  appreciative 
audiences. 


THE  Varsity  ADVOCATES  a  course  in 
advertising  at  the  University,  claiming 
that  students  who  intend  entering  the 
professions  as  well  as  those  who  are  pre- 
paring for  business  should  have  some 
knowledge  of  advertising. 


THE  FACULTY  OF  APPLIED  SCIENCE  ar- 
ranged a  course  of  lectures  in  water  power 
development  to  be  given  by  five  eminent 
hydraulic  engineers  from  Canada  and  the 
United  States.  It  was  designed  to  be  of 
special  value  to  fourth  year  men,  but  all 
interested  in  the  subject  were  invited. 


A  BRONZE  MEMORIAL  TABLET  in  honour 
of  the  Ontario  Medical  men  who  served 
during  the  war  was  unveiled  at  the  Aca- 
demy of  Medicine  on  January  31.  A 
number  of  portraits  and  books  were  on 
the  same  occasion  presented  to  the  Aca- 
demy. 


ACCORDING  TO  THE  SWIMMING  INSTRUC- 
TOR at  the  Lillian  Massey  School,  women 
students  make  splendid  swimmers.  He 
claims  that  girls  are  more  courageous  and 
daring  than  men,  especially  when  it  comes 
to  diving. 


THE  OLD  BOYS  ASSOCIATION  of  the 
University  of  Toronto  Schools  held  its 
second  annual  dinner  in  the  Great  Hall  of 
Hart  House  on  February  15.  J.  B.  Brebner 
was  elected  President,  succeeding  Frank 
Denton. 


THE  BRITISH  FEDERATION  of  University 
Women  has  offered  an  international  fellow- 
ship of  the  value  of  £300  to  be  open  for

Why  Not  More  Generous  Support  for  the  University 


By  W.  C.  GOOD,  '00,  M.P. 


WHY,  I  am  asked,  does  not  the 
University  of  •  Toronto  receive 
more  generous  support  from  the 
Province?  Before  attempting  to  answer 
this  question  I  would  ask  another:  Is  it  a 
fact  that  the  Province  does  not  support  the 
University  generously?  In  order  to  answer 
the  latter  question  one  must  have  some 
way  of  measuring  what  is  called  generous 
support,  some  way  of  comparing  the  sup- 
port which  the  Province  gives  to  the  Uni- 
versity with  what  it  gives  to  other  educa- 
tional institutions  and  to  other  causes. 
And  I  am  not  sure  that,  as  compared  with 
other  educational  institutions,  the  Uni- 
versity of  Toronto  has  not  received  gener- 
ous support.  I  am  prepared  to  admit,  of 
course,  that  the  Province  does  not  attach 
sufficient  importance  to  higher  education. 
But  that  holds  also  with  respect  to  many 
other  things.  Without  assuming,  ther*e- 
fore,  that  the  University  of  Toronto  is  not 
getting  its  fair  share  of  support,  I  will 
venture  to  make  the  following  suggestions 
looking  towards  increasing  the  interest  of 
our  citizens  generally  in  the  work  of  the 
University. 

(1)  More   short   courses   and   extension 
work  could  be  undertaken  wkh  advantage. 
The  experience  of  the  O.A.C.  is  significant 
in     this     respect.       For     years,     through 
Farmers'  Institutes,  the  work  of  the  O.A.C. 
was  brought  home  to  the  farmers  of  the 
Province.       For    years,     every     summer, 
thousands  of  farmers  with   their  families 
visited,    and    were    entertained    by,    the 
O.A.C.    And  for  years  short  winter  courses 
whetted  the  appetites  of  those  whose  time 
and  resources  were  limited.     The  experi- 
ence of  many  of  the  American  universities 
in  extension  work  is  also  significant. 

(2)  The  control  of  the  University  and  its 
activities     should     be     made     thoroughly 
democratic.     With  all  its  limitations  the 
principle  of  democracy  is  sound,   and  it 
should  be  applied  to  political,  educational, 
industrial,    and   other   social    institutions. 
Without  making  any  definite  proposals  I 
would  suggest  the  propriety  of  overhauling 


the  whole  University  machinery  in  order 
to  make  it  conform  as  closely  as  possible 
to  democratic  principles  and  practices. 

(3)  But,  while  success  in  life  is  generally 
measured  by  the  accumulation  of  dollars, 
the  two  previously  suggested  reforms  will 
fall  short  of  attaining  much.  While  com- 
mercialism of  the  modern  variety  remains 
dominant  we  may  look  for  more  or  less 
popular  disdain  of  true  education.  Educa- 
tion conceived  of  as  an  end  in  itself  is, 
indeed,  scarcely  compatible  with  the  pre- 
vailing materialistic  ideals.  Technical  edu- 
cation, as  a  means  towards  money  making, 
tends  to  be  more  popular  than  that  type 
of  education  which  Huxley  so  admirably 
defined  a  good  many  years  ago,  a  type 
which  had  as  its  end  and  purpose,  the 
development  of  the  best  qualities  of  body, 
mind  and  soul.  When  the  principle  of 
co-operation  in  service  for  a  common  good 
replaces  the  law  of  the  jungle  we  may 
expect  a  larger  and  more  cordial  support  of 
higher  education — of  all  true  education. 

V4)  I  would  suggest  finally  that  the 
demand  for  additional  support  might  be 
lessened  by  carrying  on  some  of  the  under- 
graduate work  elsewhere  in  the  Province. 
Something  has  been  done  in  this  respect 
already,  in  raising  the  standard  for  en- 
trance. It  remains  to  be  seen  what  effects 
this  will  have.  It  is  quite  possible  that 
something  may  be  done  along  other  lines 
too.  Frequently  quality  suffers  from  big- 
ness or  too  rapid  growth,  and  I  should  not 
like  to  see  any  deterioration  in  quality 
arising  from  overcrowding,  etc.  The  Uni- 
versity of  Toronto  might  gain,  rather  than 
lose,  by  the  greater  development  of  other 
institutions  which  can  do  some  of  the  work 
now  being  done  in  the  Queen  City.  At  all 
events  the  idea  is  worth  considering.  #qf 

The  foregoing  suggestions  are  sub- 
mitted for  what  they  are  worth.  The 
writer  professes  to  have  no  special  quali- 
fications for  diagnosis  or  prescribing  a 
remedy.  He  feels,  however,  that  the  whole 
question  is  worth  thorough  discussion,  and 
therefore  submits  his  view  of  the  situation.

The  University's  Need  of  a  Reasonably  Permanent  Income 

By  T.  A.  RUSSELL 
CHAIRMAN  FINANCE  COMMITTEE,  BOARD  OF  GOVERNORS 


IN  my  opinion,  there  has  never  been  a 
time  when  the  general  public  of  the 
Province  had  a  higher  appreciation  of 
the  University  of  Toronto  and  the  work  it 
is  doing  than  at  present.  Not  only  are  the 
Arts  faculties  (which  have  always  fyeen 
to  the  fore)  carrying  on  their  work  over  a 
greater  range  and  with  larger  attendances 
than  ever  before,  but  our  Science  Depart- 
ments have  enlarged  and  touch  phases  of 
activity  undreamed  of  a  generation  ago. 
Our  Engineering  Faculty  is  making  its 
influence  felt  in  every  corner  of  the  Pro- 
vince. Our  Medical  Faculty,  although 
subject  from  time  to  time  to  criticisms  in 
detail,  is  being  more  widely  recognized  as 
one  of  the  great  medical  schools  of  the 
continent. 

Nor  has  the  present  Government  proved 
unfriendly  to  the  University.  On  the  con- 
trary, it  has  met  the  representatives  of  the 
University  with  a  frankness  and  sympathy 
that  perhaps  is  not  widely  enough  realized. 
Salaries,  which  even  yet  '  are  perhaps 
hardly  adequate,  have,  however,  been  ad- 
justed on  a  more  equitable  basis  than  at 
any  time  during  the  last  fifteen  years. 
The  completion  of  the  splendid  new  build- 
ing for  Electrical  Engineering  and  the 
commencement  of  the  new  Anatomy  Build- 
ing, indicate  that  they  have  not,  been  un- 
mindful of  some  of  the  needs  of  the 
University  in  its  growth. 

The  recent  University  Commission  took 
the  stand  that  the  University  of  Toronto 
must  be  regarded  as  the  Provincial  Uni- 
versity; that  no  aid  given  to  other  institu- 
tions must  result  in  a  withdrawal  of  or 
diminution  of  support  to  the  Provincial 
University;  that  post-graduate  work  should 
be  restricted  to  the  University  of  Toronto 
and  that  new  faculties  should  not  be  added 
in  the  other  Universities  in  duplication  of 
those  existing  at  Toronto. 

What,  then,  is  the  issue  to-day?  Frankly, 
as  I  see  it,  it  narrows  itself  to  this:  that 
the  Provincial  Government  of  the  day 
desires  to  commit  itself  no  further  with 


regard  to  the  University  than  from  one 
year  to  another;  that  it  has  sought  to 
have  the  estimates  for  the  year  brought 
in  each  Session  and  made  a  subject  of 
debate  in  the  House,  if  necessary,  prior  to 
their  acceptance. 

On  the  contrary,  the  attitude  of  the 
Board  of  Governors  (and  on  this  they 
were  supported  by  the  unanimous  report 
of  the  University  Commission)  was  that 
the  best  results  could  not  be  obtained 
by  the  adoption  of  a  policy  of  this  kind, 
which  looks  no  further  than  one  year  ahead. 
The  report  of  the  University  Commission 
recommended  that  the  'principle  of  grant- 
ing to  the  University  of  Toronto  an  annual 
amount  equal  to  one-half  of  the  receipts 
from  Succession  Duties,  be  continued  at 
least  for  another  five  years.  It  was  pointed 
out  that  the  experiences  in  the  last  fifteen 
years  have  shown  that  this  sum  expanded 
in  about  the  same  ratio  as  the  needs  of 
the  University.  The  adoption  of  .the 
University  Commission,  report  would  en- 
able the  Governors  of  the  University  to 
look  farther  tharr  one  year  ahead  and  to 
plan  their  programme  over  a  period  of 
five  years.  In  an  institution  so  large  and 
with  developments  of  such  importance,  it 
must  be  obvious  that  a  proper  outlook  of 
this  kind  is  essential  if  the  University  is 
to  attain  anything  like  its  maximum 
development. 

In  making  this  recommendation  it  was 
not  the  thought  of  the  Governors  nor  of 
the  University  Commission's,  that  the 
Governors  should -have  a  free  hand  over 
any  five-year  period.  The  practice  which 
has  continued  since  1906  of  preparing 
estimates  and  laying  sarhe  before  the 
Governor-in-Council  each  year  would  be 
continued,  but  it  would  enable  the  men 
charged  with  the  financial  responsibility 
of  the  University  to  plan  for  some  reason- 
able period  ahead,  with  some  confidence 
as  to  their  income,  instead  of  being  left  iri 
uncertainty  beyond  the  particular  Vear 
in  which  they  are  involved.

I  feel,  therefore,  that  every  effort  should 
be  made  to  convince  the  present  Govern- 
ment— not  of  the  need  to  support  higher 
education,  because  I  believe  they  are  alive 
to  that;  not  of  the  soundness  of  regarding 
the  University  of  Toronto  as  the  Pro- 
vincial University,  because  they  have 
accepted  that  policy;  not  of  the  need  of 
liberality  with  regard  to  educational 
matters,  because  they  have  proven  them- 
selves willing  to  consider  the  educational 
needs  of  the  Province — -but  of  the  absolute 
necessity  of  an  institution  of  the  magnitude 


and  far-reaching  character  of  the  University, 
having  its  policy  set  for  more  than  one  year 
in  advance  and  having  the  sources  of  its 
income  reasonably  secure  for  more  than  one 
year  in  advance,  so  that  the  most  efficient 
results  can  be  obtained  from  its  administra- 
tion. 

Surely  it  cannot  do  better  than  adopt 
the  unanimous  report  of  the  Commission 
expressly  appointed  to  fully  consider  the 
University  question  as  a  safe  policy  to 
pursue  for  at  least  the  next  five  years. 


Toronto  Conservatory  of  Music  Developes  as  a  Unit  of 

the  University 


H 


[ANDEL  and  his  crew  of  fiddlers 
gave  a  performance  in  the 
Theatre".  In  this  sentence,  the 
Oxford  University  Magazine  of  July,  1732, 
alluded  to  the  visit  to  the  tlniversity  of 
one  of  the  greatest  musicians  of  all  times. 
But  tempora  mutantur,  nos  et  mutamur  in 
illis.  The  time  has  long  passed  when 
musicians  as  a  class  were  looked  upon  as 
long-haired,  irresponsible  and  erratic.  To- 
day'the  profession  is  universally  esteemed 
and  occupies  a  commanding  position  in  the 
general  educational  and  cultural  life  of  the 
world.  Most,  if  not  all,  great  British  and 
the  leading  American  universities  announce 
courses  of  study  leading  to  degrees  in 
Music  to  undergraduates  who  have  passed 
a  matriculation  examination,  and  our  own 
University  of  Ontario  has  maintained  for 
many  years  a  system  of  local  examinations. 
In  1919,  a  regular  Faculty  of  Music  was 
formed  in  the  University  and  courses  of 
lectures  were  announced.  In  1920,  a 
further  and  most  important  development 
took  place,  which,  in  effect,  means  the 
establishment  of  a  state  school  of  Music  in 
Ontario.  The  control  of  the  large  and' 
influential  school  of  Music  known -as  the 
Toronto  Conservatory  of  Music  was,  in 
accordance  with  the  terms  of  an  Act  of 
the  Provincial  Parliament,  placed  in  the 
hands  of  a  special  Board  of  Governors 
appointed  by  the  University  and  respons- 
ible to, the  University  Board  of  Governors. 
The  importance  of  this  movement  it  would 
be  difficult  to  overstate.  Since  its  founda- 


tion thirty-five  years  ago,  with  a  com- 
paratively modest  equipment  and  a  roll 
of  about  200  students,  the  Conservatory 
has  develqped  into  the  largest  and  one  of 
the  most  completely  appointed  schools  of 
Music  in  the  British  Empire,  with  a  regis- 
tration of  students  drawn  from  all  sections 
of  the  Dominion,  Newfoundland,  the  West

Indies  and  several  states  of  the  adjoining 
Republic.  It  has  for  some  years  occupied 
an  unrivalled  position  in  Canada  as  a 
Music  school  of  the  first  rank,  while  the 
distinction  of  its  faculty,  the  superior 
character  and  capacity  of  its  buildings,  and 
the  efficiency  of  its  general  equipment  are 
equalled  by  very  few  of  the  great  schools 
of  Music  of  either  Europe  or  America. 
As  in  the  case  of  colleges  which  have  been 
brought  into  federation  with  the  Uni- 
versity, the  Conservatory  retains  its  name, 
its  distinction  and  its  characteristics;  its 
purpose  being  to  give  instruction  in  all 
branches  of  the  art  and  science  of  Music. 
This  it  has  done  for  many  years,  supplying 
a  complete  technical  and  theoretical  edu- 
cation in  Music,  from  the  instruction  of 
very  young  pupils  in  its  preparatory  de- 
partments, to  the  training  of  teachers  and 
artists  competent  to  appear  as  public 
performers  and  to  assume  professional 
responsibilities  in  a  manner  worthy  of  the 
institution  and  its  recent  formal  absorption 
by  the  University.  In  Theory  and  Com- 
position, the  courses  are  equally  compre- 


hensive and  complete.  Such  courses  are 
not  a  regular  part  of  the  work  of  a  Uni- 
versity, whose  chief  function  is  rather  to 
provide  lectures  and  to  conduct  examina- 
tions leading  to  degrees. 

That  the  University  of  Toronto  has  now 
under  its  supervision  and  control  a 
splendidly  equipped  and  internationally 
important  school  of  Music  is  another  and 
a  remarkable  instance  of  the  University's 
ever-widening  scope.  As  the  Conservatory 
has  long  maintained  throughout  the 
Dominion  a  carefully  graded  and  highly 
successful  system  of  local  examinations, 
whose  prestige  and  influence  has  extended 
beyond  the  borders  of  Canada,  the 
University's  local  examinations  will  in 
future  be  taken  over  and  conducted  by 
the  Conservatory,  an  arrangement  which, 
it  is  expected,  will  tend  to  establish  and 
standardize  examinations,  under  the  super- 
vision of  the  Faculty  of  Music  of  the 
University  of  Toronto,  and  thus  more 
than  ever  to  advantageously  affect  the 
musical  life  of  the  Province  and  country 
generally. 


The  President's  Annual  Report  Published 


IN  glancing  through  the  President's 
Report  for  the  year  ending  June  30th, 
which  has  recently  been  issued  by  the 
King's  Printer,  two  things  in  particular 
strike  the  eye,— first,  the  development  of 
research  work,  and  second,  the  growth  of 
the  Extension  Department. 

No  less  than  112  researches  conducted  by 
members  of  the  staff  are  enumerated.  The 
subjects  covered  and  the  number  of  re- 
searches in  each  case  are  as  follows: 
Psychology,  2;  Physics,  20;  Botany,  7; 
Zymology,  6;  Biochemistry,  7;  Physiol- 
ogy? 9;  Chemistry,  10;  Geology;  Miner- 
alogy; Medicine,  20;  School  of  Engineer- 
ing Research,  31.  The  list  is  a  compre- 
hensive one  and  shows  that  members  of  the 
staff  are  alive  to  the  advantages  of  research 
from  the  standpoint  of  undergraduate 
teaching  as  well  as  from  that  of  the  results 
of  the  investigations. 

A  considerable  part  of  the  work  was 
done  by  senior  and  graduate  students  in 
co-operation  with  members  of  the  staff. 
Perhaps  the  most  remarkable  thing  in 
regard  to  the  entire  report  on  research  is 


that  the  committee  in  charge  of  the  fund 
for  experimental  research  had  only  $5,000 
to  administer.  Apparently  the  research 
workers  had  to  rely  on  departmental 
budgets  and  outside  contributions  for  the 
greater  part  of  their  financial  maintenance. 

In  the  report  of  the  Extension  Depart- 
ment, Mr  Dunlop  tells  of  work  carried  on 
in  ten  different  divisions :  Summer  Session ; 
Course  for  Teachers  during  the  Term; 
Correspondence  Courses;  Extension  Lec- 
tures; Workers'  Educational  Association; 
Tutorial  Classes;  Extra-mural  Classes; 
Short  Course  for  Farmers ;  Short  Course  in 
Journalism;  Household  Science  Short 
Course. 

The  total  staff  of  the  University  for  the 
year  was  558  of  whom  68  were  professors, 
48  associate  professors,  41  assistant  pro- 
fessors, and  the  remainder,  lecturers,  in- 
structors, and  demonstrators. 

In  that  portion  of  the  Report  which 
appears  over  the  President's  name  con- 
siderable attention  is  again  given  to  the 
financial  problems  with  which  the  Uni- 
versity is  faced.  Sir  Robert  says  in  part:

"The  problem  of  entrance  still  faces  us. 
The  first  year  of  University  College  was  so 
large  that  the  accommodation  was  not 
only  quite  inadequate,  but  is  such  that 
there  are  many  rooms  in  which  students 
should  not  be  required  to  take  instruction. 
The  situation  in  Economics  was  even  worse, 
for  one  old  dwelling-house  was  the  head- 
quarters of  a  department  that  has  to  pro- 
vide instruction  for  763  pass  and  240 
honour  students.  But  perhaps  worst  of  all 
was  the  condition  of  the  students  in  Botany. 
Not  only  are  the  laboratories  of  this 
rapidly  growing  department  quite  in- 
adequate for  the  present,  but  it  was 
necessary  to  break  urj  the  teaching  museum 
in  order  to  get  space  for  the  routine 
instruction.  Graduate  work  is  curtailed, 
and  necessary  additions  to  the  staff  cannot 
be  secured  to  take  care  even  of  present 
needs  as  there  is  no  place  in  which  to 
have  the  teaching  done.  It  will  be  difficult 
to  attract  good  men  to  the  staff  until 
better  quarters  can  be  offered. 

"I  cannot  emphasize  too  strongly  the 
fact  that  the  delay  in  carrying  out  the 
building  programme  set  forth  by  the 
Governors  last  year  to  the  Commission  is 
seriously  crippling  the  efficiency  of  the 
University.  Every  indication  goes  to  show 
that  even  with  the  rise  of  standards  the 
numbers  in  Arts  will  not  be  reduced  in  such 
a  way  as  to  make  the  demands  for  buildings 
less  urgent.  The  best  work'cannot  be  done 
in  the  kind  of  space  we  have  at  our  dis- 
posal." 

Residences  Needed  for  University 
College 

"Collegiate  life  will  never  be  what  it 
should  be  in  University  College  until 
residences  for  men  and  women  with  a 
Union  for  the  latter  have  been  provided 
in  addition  to  proper  class-room  accom- 
modation. Our  students,  drawn  as  they 
are  from  every  section  of  Ontario  as  well 
as  other  parts  of  the  Dominion,  and  from 
all  classes  in  society,  are  material  of  first- 
rate  quality,  but  without  suitable  buildings 
to  live  and  work  in  they  are  not  getting 
what  they  should  from  their  college  life; 
they  are  not  educating  one  another  as  they 
might;  they  do  not  enjoy  those  rich  gifts 
which  are  so  uniquely  afforded  in  the 


English  and  the  old  American  College,  a 
historical  institution  which  both  branches 
of  the  English-speaking  world  have  pre- 
served as  distinctive  in  their  educational 
system.  It  remains  for  us  also  in  Canada 
to  preserve  as  a  centre  of  liberal  education 
the  college  bearing  our  own  individual 
mark  and  affording  opportunities  for  inter- 
course and  friendship  through  the  constant 
commingling  of  students." 

"Again  I  cannot  but  refer  to  the  effect 
in  retarding  the  development  of  the  Uni- 
versity which  has  been  produced  by  our 
uncertainty  as  to  what  financial  support 
can  be  relied  upon.  The  staff  are  anxious 
as  to  their  own  future,  it  is  difficult  to 
make  offers  to  men  who  are  called  to  fill 
vacancies,  and  the  youth  of  the  country 
in  attendance  are  not  getting  all  that  with 
some  reasonable  and  reliable  annual  in- 
crease we  should  offer  them.  Nor  can  the 
University  reach  out  through  its  extension 
to  meet  the  opportunities  which  have  been 
so  splendidly  manifested  by  Mr  Dunlop 
even  in  the  first  year  of  his  work.  His 
report  shows  what  lies  to  our  own  hand  to 
do  if  only  we  have  the  financial  means. 
The  people,  young  and  old,  want  educa- 
tion. Only  in  a  widely  cultivated  and 
diversified  society  such  as  higher  education 
creates  will  even  those  economic  interests 
be  constantly  called  into  being  which  both 
make  and  satisfy  a  productive  population. 
Mere  material  development  will  soon  ex- 
haust itself  by  producing  a  narrow  people 
with  few  interests,  whereas  a  broadly  and 
highly  educated  community  will  become 
not  merely  increasingly  efficient,  but  will 
afford  occupation  for  skilled  workers  both 
urban  and  rural,  and  will  demand  a  more 
varied  production  to  meet  the  growing 
needs  of  an  enriched  country." 

Sir  Robert  refers  to  the  work  of  the 
Alumni  Association  as  follows : 

"I  cannot  overlook  the  valuable  co- 
operation of  the  Alumni  Association  during 
the  year  in  making  known  the  needs  of  the 
University  to  a  very  wide  constituency. 
Many  of  our  graduates  devoted  valuable 
time  and  energy  when  it  was  greatly 
needed,  and  without  singling  out  any  one 
above  another  it  may  be  said  that  such  a 
large  number  of  graduates  have  never 
before  been  so  actively  devoted  to  the 
welfare  of  their  Alma  Mater.  " 


The  Department  of  Chemical  Engineering 

By  H.  M.  LANCASTER,  CHIEF  CHEMIST,  ONTARIO  PROVINCIAL  BOARD  OF  HEALTH 


ONE  of  the  chief  characteristics  of  the 
late  Dean  Ellis  was  his  sound  judg- 
ment. With  this  quality  of  mind 
was  combined  an  ability  to  adapt  new 
features  of  scientific  development  to  the 
requirements  of  the  times.  He  had  the 
opportunity  of  viewing  chemical  science 
from  many  angles.  The  speculative  theo- 
ries so  essential  to  advancement;  history, 
without  which  no  science  can  achieve  its 
fullest  development;  analytical  work  of 
the  most  exacting  character;  chemistry 
as  applied  to  the  science  and  practice  of 
medicine  and  to  the  industries — all  of 
these  passed  in  review,  as  it  were,  in  the 
experience  of  this  wise  man,  whose  life 
was  a  broadening  inspiration  to  all  who 
worked  with  him. 

It  is  most  significant  that  of  all  the 
branches  of  chemical  work  with  which 
he  was  concerned,  the  Department  of 
Chemical  Engineering  and  Applied  Che- 
mistry held  a  very  prominent  place  in  his 
affections.  The  purpose  of  establishing 
such  a  Department  was  not  only  to  present 
the  applications  of  chemistry  as  a  minor 
subject  to  classes  of  students  in  the 
several  branches  of  engineering  such  as 
mining,  civil,  mechanical  and  electrical 
and  to  special  groups  of  students  from 
other  Faculties  of  the  University,  but 
also  to  fit  a  connecting  link  between  our 
industries  and  the  University.  The  very 
existence  of  many  of  the  industries  of 
our  country  depends  upon  chemical  pro- 
cesses conducted  in  some  cases  in  wasteful 
and  careless  ways.  On  the  other  hand,  in 
every  university  there  is  a  wealth  of 
information  and  scientific  lore  packed  away 
in  every  science  department  which  is  con- 
cerned entirely  with  the  mental  training 
derived  from  the  study  of  mere  abstrusities 
without  any  regard  for  usefulness  in  the 
ordinary  sense  of  the  word  "useful".  The 
function  served  by  the  Department  of 
Chemical  Engineering,  is,  then,  to  train 
men  to  deal  with  technical  industrial 
problems  in  a  scientific  way  and  to  bring 
scientific  knowledge  into  practical  applica- 
tion on  an  industrial  scale. 


With  '.his  ideal,  Dr  Ellis  gathered  about 
him  men  with  natural  ability,  who  have 
added  to  this  the  training  and  experience 
necessary  to  carry  on  successfully.  The 
Department  is  now  under  the  guiding  hand 
of  Professor  J.  Watson  Bain.  With  him 
are  associated  Dr  M.  C.  Boswell  and  Pro- 
fessor E.  G.  R.  Ardagh,  as  divisional  heads. 
With  enthusiastic  co-operation  of  the  staff 
both  senior  and  junior  with  a  vigorous 
student  body,  the  present  organization  is 
flourishing  in  every  sense  of  the  word.  The 
junior  staff  is  made  up  of  two  lecturers 
and  four  demonstrators.  The  students 
number  one  hundred  and  seventy- two. 
Some  idea  as  to  the  growth  of  the  Depart- 
ment can  be  obtained  from  the  records 
which  show  that  in  the  year  1910  the  total 
registration  of  students  was  forty-eight. 

Indeed,  the  last  few  years  have  seen 
many  changes  in  the  attitude  of  our  people 
towards  many  things.  Of  all  the  lessons 
learned  from  the  recent  war  none  was 
more  definite  and  clear  than  that  Chemis- 
try was  of  prime  importance  in  the  so  called 
"key"  industries  without  which  no  nation 
is  on  a  sound  economic  basis.  Our  in- 
dustries are  passing  from  the  ultra-con- 
servative policy  of  cherishing  traditional 
trade  secrets.  Those  in  charge  have  begun 
to  see  that  the  application  of  modern 
scientific  methods  brings  results.  Chem- 
istry is  being  recognized  as  the  basis  of 
industrial  progress. 

In  this  department  of  Applied  Chemistry 
there  is  no  danger  of  education  being 
sacrificed  to  the  mere  accumulation  of 
practical  details.  The  courses  of  instruc- 
tion are  sufficiently  broad  to  foster  the 
creative  spirit  and  to  develop  good  judg- 
ment. The  research  problems  in  this  field 
are  quite  sufficient  to  stimulate  and  to 
bring  out  the  best  features  of  pure  science. 
Every  student  is  required  during  the  final 
year  to  carry  on  an  investigation  of  some 
hitherto  unsolved  problem.  Such  re- 
searches deal  with  features  of  industrial 
processes.  This  training  is  most  excellent 
and  is  useful  in  all  walks  of  life.  Even 
if  through  lack  of  opportunity  or  from

other  causes  the  graduate  does  not  follow 
up  chemical  work  as  a  life  occupation 
the  value  of  such  training  will  assert  itself. 
A  man  trained  to  think  clearly  and  to 
apply  scientific  methods  to  the  solution 
of  chemical  problems  will  be  the  better 
prepared  to  meet  the  obstacles  encountered 
in  any  other  line  of  activity.  In  addition 
to  these  student  researches,  this  Depart- 
ment carries  on  the  chemical  investigations 
of  the  School  of  Engineering  Research, 
which  is  organized  for  research  in  the 
Faculty  of  Applied  Science  and  Engineering. 
Three  graduates  are  engaged  in  this  work. 
In  order  to  obtain  best  results  in  all 


these  various  lines  it  is  necessary  that 
both  staff  and  students  have  contact  and 
co-operation  with  organizations  and  with 
individuals  who  are  concerned  with  in- 
dustrial management.  The  alumni  can 
do  a  great  deal  in  assisting  such  work  by 
sympathetically  remembering  that  there 
is  such  a  department  in  the  University 
and  by  giving  it  additional  points  of 
contact  with  the  industrial  world.  It  is 
the  duty  of  those  in  charge  of  government 
affairs  to  see  that  such  scientific  depart- 
ments are  provided  with  adequate  staff 
and  equipment,  because  the  ultimate  effec- 
tive results  are  of  national  value. 


The  Veterinary  College  to  be  Moved  to  Guelph  During 

the  Coming  Summer 


The  Ontario  Veterinary  College  which 
for  sixty  years  has  carried  on  its  work  in 
Toronto  will  be  moved  to  Guelph  during 
the  coming  summer.  A  new  building  on 
the  grounds  of  the  Experimental  Farm 
and  in  close  proximity  to  the  Agricultural 
College  is  now  in  the  course  of  construc- 
tion. The  present  Veterinary  College 
building  on  University  Avenue  will  be  used 
for  Government  Offices. 

The  Ontario  Veterinary  College  was 
established  in  1862  under  the  principalship 


of  the  late  Dr  Andrew  Smith  who  guided 
the  destinies  of  the  institution  with  rare 
ability  for  forty-six  years.  Principal  Smith 
was  succeeded  by  the  late  Dr  E.  A.  A. 
Grange  and  in  1918  the  present  head, 
Dr  C.  D.  McGilvray  was  called  to  the 
principalship.  The  College  is  the  only 
one  in  Canada  which  offers  veterinary 
training  for  English  speaking  students. 
Its  student  body  is  probably  the  most 
cosmopolitan  of  any  unit  of  the  Univer- 
sity. This  year  there  are  students  in 


Architect's  drawing  of  Veterinary  College  building  which  is  in  course  of  construction  at  Guelph. 
will  be  fully  modern  with  the  best  equipment  for  scientific  instruction 


The  building

attendance  from  every  province  of  the 
Dominion,  from  Newfoundland,  the  British 
West  Indies,  and  the  United  States. 

The  transfer  of  the  College  to  Guelph 
will  not  affect  its  affiliation  with  the  Uni- 
versity. The  University  will  still  have 
control  over  entrance  requirements,  ex- 
aminations, and  the  conferring  of  degrees. 
Instruction  in  ceitain  science  subjects 
which  the  Veterinary  students  now  receive 
in  the  University  will  be  provided  by  the 
Agricultural  College. 

Principal  McGilvray  expresses  himself 
as  well  satisfied  with  the  change.  He 
anticipates  an  improvement  in  the  facilities 
for  clinical  teaching  by  reason  of  the  close 
relationship  which  will  exist  with  the 
O.A.C.  On  the  other  hand  he  says  that 
if  the  University  had  been  able  to  provide 
all  the  instruction  in  science  which  the 
College  desired,  he  would  have  preferred 
to  remain  in  Toronto.  But  this  the  Uni- 
versity, on  account  of  lack  of  facilities,  has 
been  unable  to  do. 


In  recent  years  the  attendance  at  the 
Veterinary  College  has  fallen  off,  appar- 
ently because  the  profession  has  not 
appealed  to  the  youth  of  the  country  as 
other  professions  have.  Dr  McGilvray 
points  out,  however,  that  the  profession 
to-day  offers  great  opportunities.  The 
old  "horse  doctor"  of  little  or  no  scientific 
training  is  gone  and  in  his  place  there  is  a 
man  scientifically  trained  in  all  the  dis- 
eases of  animals.  Private  practice  has 
greatly  improved  with  the  development 
of  the  stock  breeding  industry,  and  with 
the  coming  of  the  motor  car  which  enables 
the  practitioner  to  cover  a  much  wider 
field.  Veterinary  graduates  go  also  into 
many  other  lines  of  work — government 
inspectorships  in  abattoir  and  field  work, 
municipal  service  in  safeguarding  the 
supply  of  milk  and  meat,  commercial 
work  with  firms  distributing  biological 
products  and  side  lines  such  as  fox 
farming. 


University  Publicity 


By  CLARK  E.  LOCKE,  '11,  ADVERTISING  MANAGER,  ROBERT  SIMPSON  Co.  LTD. 


IT  is  generally  conceded  that  the  day  has 
arrived  when  the  University  of  Toronto 
should  receive  some  tangible  mani- 
festation of  whole-souled  sympathy  and 
support.  In  the  business  world  it  is  not 
until  a  great  measure  of  public  approval 
and  goodwill  is  felt  behind  an  enterprise 
that  its  directors  feel  free  to  plan  con- 
fidently for  the  spacious  days  of  the  future. 
Such  goodwill  is  a  guarantee  of  success  and 
progress. 

So  with  the  University.  Growing  yearly 
from  strength  to  strength  on  the  value  of 
its  products,  and  its  contribution  to  the 
State,  it  builds  public  sentiment  and  is 
nourished  by  it. 

Business,  however,  has  gone  much 
further  in  recent  years.  Not  content  with 
waiting  for  a  gradual  growth  in  popular 
favour,  it  has  set  out  systematically  to 
stimulate  and  develop  a  sustained  interest  in 
its  existence  and  valuable  material  results 
have  accrued.  The  instrument  which 
produced  these  results  is  PUBLICITY. 

University  sympathizers  in  Ontario  to- 
day are  one  in  agreeing  that  some  step 
should  be  taken  to  eliminate  the  annual 


recurrence  of  financial  stringencies.  A 
year-to-year  anxiety  as  to  maintenance  is 
no  longer  tolerable.  Unhampered  by 
embarrassments  of  this  character  the 
University  should  be  free  to  step  forth 
and  become  in  greater  measure  a  directing 
influence  in  the  citizen  life  of  Canada. 

To  achieve  this  happy  facility  a  quick- 
ened sense  of  loyalty  and  sympathy  is 
required.  Systematized  publicity  is  the 
agency  which  will  accomplish  this  task. 

With  the  object  of  having  the  University, 
its  claims,  its  functions  and  its  needs 
brought  definitely  and  consistently  to  the 
attention  of  those  who  support  it,  the 
establishment  of  an  organized  Publicity 
Department  is  recommended. 

In  the  first  place,  the  University  would 
be  pictured  to  the  world  as  it  should  be 
pictured.  The  diffusion  of  useful  informa- 
tion and  the  humanizing  of  the  institution 
through  familiarity  with  its  operations  and 
activities,  would  bring  to  the  farmer  in  the 
back-townships,  the  president  in  his  office 
and  the  citizen  at  large  a  new,  vital  realiza- 
tion of  its  importance  as  a  great  educational 
factor.  The  years  of  student  life  will  then 


UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO  MONTHLY 


249 


be  regarded  not  merely  as  the  finishing  of 
an  education,  but  as  the  fundamental 
training  of  men  to  whom  will  be  entrusted 
in  time  the  gravest  concerns  of  the  country. 

There  are  four  fields  in  which  an  organ- 
ized Publicity  Department  could  serve  the 
University  of  Toronto  to  advantage,  viz.: 
the  Press,  the  Alumni  Association,  the 
Schools  and  the  various  Club  organizations. 
Each  of  these,  if  properly  utilized,  would 
lend  itself  to  the  dissemination  of  Uni- 
versity propaganda  in  ways  and  in  places 
eminently  desirable.  Stress  should  be  laid, 
however,  on  the  necessity  of  proper 
methods  of  approach. 

Take  the  Press,  for  example.  The  Uni- 
versity is  perhaps  one  of  the  greatest 
sources  of  news  that  exists.  New  phases  of 
thought,  staff  changes, 'new  buildings,  its 
needs  and  ambitions,  the  way  students 
live,  the  equipment  their  education  gives 
them — here  is  information  that  the  public 
thirsts  for,  and  the  Press  would  be  glad 
to  supply.  But  the  Press  demands  this 
information  in  the  shape  of  "news". 
Provided  in  interesting  form,  prepared 
from  the  standpoint  of  an  interested  public, 
university  facts  are  welcomed  by  every 
newspaper  and  will  be  carried  broadcast 
purely  because  of  their  news  value.  Such 
publicity  is  gratis  and  most  valuable. 

This  does  not  apply  alone  to  the  local 
or  daily  press,  but  to  the  weeklies  and  also 
to  the  press  agencies  and  services  which 
have  a  very  wide  field  of  circulation. 
There  are  farm  papers  which  through  their 
columns  would  become  willing  apostles 
spreading  broadcast  the  gospel  of  university 
training.  Their  influences  would  go  far 
towards  creating  a  permanent  rural  en- 
thusiasm in  this  regard.  Magazines,  too, 
are  seeking  live,  expert  expositions  of  the 
problems  which  face  educational  authori- 
ties and  the  tasks  to  which  their  students 
and  young  men  are  setting  their  hands. 

The  Alumni  Association,  now  re-organ- 
ized and  active,  can  well  take  upon  its 
shoulders  definite  responsibilities  in  cry- 
stallizing a  university  sentiment  in  the 
country.  Alumni  scattered  throughout 
various  towns  and  cities  could  be  enrolled  as 
speakers  to  set  forth  on  various  occasions 
the  advantages  of  higher  education  and  the 
claims  of  the  great  parent  institution  itself. 
Organization  would  see  that  each  alumnus 
should  go  forth  as  a  missionary  to  extol 
his  Alma  Mater. 


Loosely-organized  bodies  such  as  Alumni 
Associations  can  hope  to  acquire  strength 
and  effectiveness  only  when  charged  with 
responsibilities  calling  for  active  work.  An 
organized  publicity  endeavour  would  lay 
upon  this  body  responsibilities' calculated 
to  increase  the  value  of  its  own  organization 
and  to  benefit  the  University  by  enlighten- 
ing and  instructing  the  public. 

In  the  high  schools  and  collegiates  of  the 
Province  is  a  field  where  desirable  propa- 
ganda can  be  spread  with  great  effect. 
Every  school  paper  should  be  an  agency  to 
promote  the  value  of  university  training 
and  its  significance  from  a  national  stand- 
point. At  every  Commencement  Day  pro- 
gramme the  voice  of  the  university  should 
be  heard  from  the  platform.  The  staff 
could  supply  some  of  these  speakers,  the 
Alumni  Association  others,  and  definite 
request  would  stimulate  the  school  authori- 
ties to  emphasize  the  importance  of  the 
•advanced  training  which  comes  to  the 
student  after  he  leaves  the  school  behind. 

Not  least  among  all  the  agencies  which 
can  be  utilized  to  promote  these  aims  are 
the  Canadian  Clubs,  Boards  of  Trade, 
Chambers  of  Commerce  and  similar  organ- 
izations which  exist  in  practically  all  the 
towns  and  cities  of  the  Province.  Here 
would  be  points  of  contact  greatly  to  be 
desired,  for  here  practical  support  must  be 
looked  for.  It  is  a  fact  that  certain  large 
business  corporations  to-day  are  inclined 
to  contribute  in  a  concrete  fashion  by 
endowments,  the  establishment  of  chairs, 
etc.,  but  they  are  waiting  to  be  approached 
with  definite  proposals. 

There  are  in  Ontario  1,700  United 
Farmer  Clubs.  Periodic  meetings  are  held 
where  matters  of  particular  interest  to 
rural  residents  are  presented  and  dis- 
cussed. What  more  effective  means  of 
retailing  University  information  could  be 
found  than  occasions  of  this  character. 

In  summary,  if  the  University  is  to  gain 
the  support  of  the  tax-payers  which  it 
merits,  it  should  take  definite  steps  to 
cultivate  a  sympathetic  appreciation. 
Agencies  which  may  be  enlisted  effectively 
abound  in  the  Province.  An  organized 
endeavour  to  link  them  up  in  an  active 
and  consistent  programme  of*  publicity 
would  create  a  public  sentiment  which, 
guaranteeing  the  future,  would  at  the  same 
time  ensure  that  year-to-year  embarrass- 
ments would  be  minimized. 


Extension  Work  in  American  Universities 


SEVERAL  writers  in  recent  issues  of 
THE  MONTHLY  have  hinted  that  the 
real  cause  of  the  University's  fin- 
ancial trouble  lies  in  the  fact  that  at  the 
present  time  the  University  does  not  reach 
in  a  direct  way  many  of  the  citizens  of  the 
Province.  In  order  to  secure  some  con- 
ception of  what  American  universities  are 
doing  to  serve  their  constituencies  as  a 
whole  THE  MONTHLY  wrote  for  Extension 
work  information  to  the  University  of 
Wisconsin  and  to  the  University  of  Iowa, 
two  typical  state  universities  of  the  United 
States.  The  following  is  a  digest  of  the 
material  received. 

Wisconsin  Extension  Activities 

Extension  work  of  the  University  of 
Wisconsin  falls  for  the  most  part  into  five 
divisions:  Correspondence  Study  Courses, 
Package  Library,  Lectures  and  Entertain- 
ments, Municipal  Information,  and  Motion 
Pictures  and  Lantern  Slides. 

The  Correspondence  Courses  have  a 
wide  range,  covering  practically  every  sub- 
ject in  the  university  curriculum  and  are 
designed  to  meet  the  needs  of  any  adult 
from  the  near  illiterate  to  the  highly 
educated  person.  In  1920  there  were 
20,116  registrations  on  the  active  roster. 
Business  and  commercial  studies  stood 
first  with  6,896  registrations,  and  Engineer- 
ing and  Industrial  studies  second  with 
4,998.  Seventy-three  per  cent,  of  the 
registrants  were  men. 

Through  the  Package  Library  service 
material  is  sent  out  on  request.  A  package 
library  consists  of  an  average  of  forty 
articles  selected  from  books,  current  pub- 
lications, etc.,  chosen  to  answer  the  specific 
enquiry.  During  the  two  years  ending 
July  1st,  1920,  Wisconsin  sent  out  16,256 
such  packages.  They  went  to  individuals, 
debating  clubs,  high  schools,  public  lib- 
raries, rural  clubs,  and  other  organizations. 

During  the  1918-1920  biennium,  1,800 
lectures  and  entertainments  were  given  in 
350  different  centres  of  the  State. 

The  Department  of  Municipal  Informa- 
tion conducts  researches  into  various 
matters  of  government  and  supplies  in- 
formation on  request.  In  the  1918-1920 
period  740  investigations  were  made  for 
city  officials,  70  conferences  were  held,  and 
878  communities  were  given  special  ser- 
vice. 


The  American  State  University 
Ideal 

"The  campus  of  the  state  Uni- 
versity has  come  to  be  co-extensive 
with  the  borders  of  the  state  whose 
people  tax  themselves  for  its  sup- 
port. .  .  .  Wherever  men  and 
women  labour  in  the  heat,  or  toil  in 
the  shadows,  in  field  or  forest,  or 
mill  or  shop  or  mine,  in  legislative 
halls  or  executive  offices,  in  society 
or  in  the  home,  at  any  task  requiring 
an  exact  knowledge  of  facts,  prin- 
ciples or  laws,  there  the  modern 
university  sees  both  its  duty  and  its 
opportunity".

The  Motion  Picture  and  Lantern  Slide 
work  at  Wisconsin  is  highly  developed. 
Slides  and  films  are  sent  on  request  to 
various  community  organizations.  In  the 
1918-1920  period,  125,000  slides  were 
shown  553,950  times  and  3,600  films  were 
shown  15,132  times. 

Wisconsin  also  conducts  tutorial  classes 
(some  3,000  enrolled  in  1920),  carries  on 
Medical  extension  work  (clinical  courses 
held  in  fifteen  centres  in  1920),  and  pro- 
vides a  text-book  service  (138,360  texts 
sold  in  1918-1920). 

The  Iowa  Extension  Division 
The  Iowa  Extension  Division  is  organiz- 
ed to  cover  much  the  same  ground  as  that 
of  Wisconsin.  The  work  is  carried  on  in 
a  somewhat  different  way,  however,  and 
emphasis  is  placed  on  different  subjects. 

Iowa  has  done  much  in  the  field  of  Public 
Health  and  Social  Welfare.  Highly  trained 
specialists  are  employed  by  the  Division 
and  placed  at  the  disposal  of  organizations 
which  are  endeavouring  to  improve  con- 
ditions in  their  local  communities.  For 
each  session  of  the  Legislature  a  study  is 
made  of  legislation  which  would  raise  the 
standards  of  living  in  the  State.  Surveys 
are  conducted  and  local  conferences  held. 

Aggressive  educational  work  is  carried 
on  with  a  view  to  assisting  the  teachers  of 
the  State  and  improving  pedagogical 
methods.

Professors  on  the  Squash  Courts

a  semi-nude  figure  solemnly  batting  a  little 
ball  around  with  a  long-handled  racquet. 
For  the  patrons  of  the  Hart  House  squash 
courts  are  almost  without  exception  pro- 
fessors, associate  professors  or  lecturers  and 
the  challenge  list  posted  there  reads  for  all 
the  world  like  those  pages  in  the  Calendar 
devoted  to  "Officers  of  Instruction". 

Why  the  game  of  squash  racquets,  as  we 
believe  it  is  technically  called,  has  obtained 
such  a  hold  upon  the  "members  of  the 
stawff"  particularly,  admits  of  several 
explanations.  An  incident  during  the 
recent  visit  of  H.R.H.  the  Prince  of  Wales, 
when  it  was  announced  by  the  Press  that 
he  had  graced  our  squash  courts  for  an 
hour  or  so,  is  thought  to  have  given  the 
first  impulse  to  that  recreation's  high-brow 
popularity.  Our  Canadian  graduates,  who 
have  returned  from  Oxford  with  an  accent 
and  a  superfluous  lower  vest-button,  are 
suspected  of  having  promptly  added  squash 
to  their  overseas  affectations. 

Others  again,  who  still  believe  in  the 
myth  of  the  struggling  professor,  would 
account  for  the  cult  of  squash  in  intellectual 
circles  upon  economic  grounds.  What  we 
mean  is,  there  is  probably  no  other  athletic 
diversion  which  demands  so  modest  an 
outlay  for  equipment.  Apparently  the 
only  requisites  are  a  racquet,  running 
shoes  and  an  utter  lack  of  self-conscious- 
ness. It  is  the  undress  sport  par  excellence. 

Probably  one  would  be  nearer  the  mark 
though  in  merely  ascribing  to  these  learned 
men  a  pardonable  ambition  to  keep  in 
shape  or  rather  get  into  shape.  "One 
touch  of  nature  makes  the  whole  worltl 
kin",  anyd  the  same  basic  element  of 
personal  vanity,  which  impells  the  fat 
youth  who  jogs  his  perspiring  way  around 
the  track,  brings  the  philosopher  to  the 
squash  courts  to  reduce  an  expanding 
waist-line  or  build  up  dwindling  calves. 

We  live  in  an  age  of  vitamines,  Pelman- 
ism  and  setting-up  exercises.  The  dullard 
athlete  poring  over  the  Keys  to  the  classics 
envies  the  scholar  his  brain;  the  spindle- 
shanked  lecturer  sighs  for  the  Herculean 
frame  of  the  half-back.  Until  the  years 
have  brought  indifference,  all  the  volumes 
of  ancient  philosophy  afford  no  solace  for 
the  nickname  "Fatty"  or  "Slats".  Ac- 
cordingly the  sensitive  professor  seeks  the 
elixir  of  youth  upon  the  squash  floor. 
To  what  avail?  One  is  tempted  to  para- 
phrase words  of  a  squash  devotee  given  to 


epigrammatic  comments  on  the  French 
Revolution — "Ten  men  who  do  nothing 
but  puff!  Twenty  men  who  do  nothing 
but  make  faces !  Futile  dreams  of  mediocre 
intelligences!" 

We  have  alluded  above  to  the  primitive 
way  in  which  the  professor  throws  away 
most  of  his  attire  as  well  as  his  dignity 
when  engaged  in  this  pastime.  There  is 
apparently  no  standard  costume.  It  is 
largely  a  matter  of  individual  modesty. 
Out  of  eight  squashees  observed  in  action 
one  afternoon,  only  two  wore  anything 
above  the  equator.  They  were  in  their 
B.V.D.'s. 

The  professor  is  obviously  not  restricted 
by  any  regulations  in  the  choice  of  his 
"shorts".  While  the  majority  wear  the 
usual  white  gym  variety,  we  entertain  a 
sneaking  suspicion  that  a  certain  lantern- 
jawed  history  lecturer,  with  an  incipient 
bald  spot  and  a  mannerism  of  hitting  the 
wall  an  experimental  tap  with  his  racquet 
before  serving,  had  simply  cut  the  legs  off 
his  fleece-lined  at  the  knees.  The  wearing 
of  socks  is  purely  optional,  but  we  do  think 
that  in  the  best  interests  of  the  game 
garters  might  very  well  be  dispensed  with. 

On  the  first  court,  a  slight,  blue-eyed  and 
clean-shaven  professor  with  greying  hair, 
whose  voice  was  familiar  upon  the  campus 
in  the  war  years  of  the  C.O.T.C.,  was 
matched  with  a  swarthy,  black-haired 
young  man  whose  modern  history  lectures 
the  flappers  declare  ' '  Simply  killing ' ' .  The 
former  was  clad  in  a  sleeveless,  knee- 
combination,  black  socks  and  black  slippers. 
As  additional  concessions  to  the  pro- 
prieties he  had  left  on  his  garters  and  wore 
one  tan  glove  on  his  right  hand.  His 
opponent  appeared  at  first  in  a  soiled  white 
jersey  which  he  later  discarded  to  emerge 
a  veritable  Esau.  They  played  with  a 
grim  concentration,  punctuated  by  dis- 
gusted grunts  of  "Ah,  ah"  from  the 
younger  man  when  his  vicious  left-handed 
returns  struck  below  the  red  line. 

The  occupants  of  the  central  court  were 
a  short,  somewhat  undernourished  Greek- 
professor  and  a  recent  addition  to  the 
U.C.  staff,  a  trifle  inclined  to  embon- 
point with  big,  appealing  blue  eyes  and  a 
worried  smile.  The  latter  was,  we  pre- 
sumed, a  first  offender  for  he  had  retained 
his  athletic  underwear  and  cast  frequent 
embarrassed  glances  to  the  gallery  above. 
Exhausted  by  the  effort  of  serving,  he

would  collapse  pathetically  against  the 
wall  and  pluck  nervously  at  the  top  of  his 
suit  in  a  shivery  gesture  reminiscent  of 
September  Morn. 

After  every  stroke  he  would  crouch 
defensively  against  either  side  in  frequently 
ineffectual  attempts  to  keep  out  of  his 
classical  opponent's  line  of  fire,  only 
emerging  at  the  last  moment  from  his 
refuge  to  take  a  frantic  swipe  which  often 
drove  the  ball  out  of  the  court  into  the 
corridor  above.  The  lighter  and  more 
active  professor,  however,  played  a  more 
aggressive  game,  taking  up  an  exposed 
position  in  the  centre  of  the  floor.  There 
he  waited  on  the  alert,  only  an  involuntary 
hunching  of  his  neck  and  a  visible  tremor  up 
his  spine  affording  a  clue  to  the  lack  of  con- 
fidence he  felt  in  the  other's  wild  returns. 

It  is  typical  of  the  professors  that  no 
unseemly  levity  marks  their  squash  ses- 
sions. They  go  through  the  solemn  ritual 
of  making  wicked  preparatory  slashes 
through  the  air  with  the  same  earnest 
absorption  in  the  task  to  hand  that  they 
display  in  the  lecture  room.  They  take  the 
game  and  themselves  so  seriously  that  one 
refrains  from  smiling  at  what,  to  our 
uninitiated  gaze,  appears  merely  a  glorified 
form  of  "strip  poker". 


As  an  additional  concession  to  the  proprieties  he  had  left  on 
his  garters. 

So  long  may  they  enjoy  their  innocent 
diversion,  without  "let"  or  "hinder",  as 
they  say  in  squash  parlance.  May  they 
shed  their  years  like  a  sweater  and,  when 
the  shadows  widen  round  others,  though 
poor  and  even  homely  may  the  professors 
still  retain  that  girlish  figure. — A.  F.  MacL. 


A.  H.  Young  Granted  Leave  of  Absence 


By  LLOYD  HODGINS 


AFTER  thirty  years  of  unselfish  devotion 
to  the  service  of  the  University  of 
Trinity  College,  Professor  Archibald 
Hope  Young  has  resigned  his  position  as 
dean  of  Residence  in  order  to  take  a  well- 
earned  rest.  At  the  end  of  a  year's  leave 
of  absence  he  will  resume  his  duties  as 
professor  of  German  and  will  be  freed 
from  the  onerous  demands  of  adminis- 
trative detail  which,  for  so  long  a  time,  he 
has  discharged  faithfully  and  well. 

Of  necessity  any  estimate  of  Dr  Young 
and  his  work  must  be  incomplete  but  this 
brief  sketch  may  serve  in  some  slight 
measure  to  call  attention  to  some  of  the 
more  salient  features  of  his  long-standing 
connection  with  Trinity  College. 

Throughout  his  whole  collegiate  career 
Dr  Young  has  shown  the  deep  rooted  re- 
gard for  ideals  with  which  he  was  imbued 
in  his  early  training  at  Upper  Canada 


College.  As  a  boy  there  he  came  under 
the  influence  of  two  great  scholars,  John 
Martland  and  John  Buchan,  both  of  them 
men  whose  lofty  aims  and  high  standards 
were  a  source  of  inspiration  to  so  many 
students  of  Upper  Canada  College.  From 
the  days  when  he  was  Head  Boy  in  1882 
Dr  Young  has  maintained  a  devoted  and 
unbroken  connection  with  his  old  school. 
He  was  a  master  there  for  five  years;  he 
was  treasurer  and  later  corresponding 
secretary  of  the  Old  Boys'  Association  and 
at  the  present  time  he  is  a  member  of  the 
Board  of  Governors.  His  preparation  of 
the  Roll  of  Pupils,  published  in  1916,  was 
an  invaluable  contribution  to  tl^e  history 
of  Upper  Canada  College  and  a  monu- 
mental tribute  of  his  affection  for  his  old 
school. 

After  his  graduation  from  the  Univer- 
sity of  Toronto,  Dr  Young  spent  five  years 


254 


UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO  MONTHLY 


as  a  master  in  Upper  Canada  College  and 
at  the  same  time  acted  as  examiner  in 
Modern  Languages  for  the  University.  In 
January  1892  he  was  appointed  lecturer 
in  Modern  Languages  and  Philology  in 
the  University  of  Trinity  College.  In 
1900  he  became  professor  of  Modern 
Languages  and  three  years  later  when 
increasing  duties  necessitated  a  division 
of  his  work  he  was  made  professor  of 
German.  Together  with  his  professorial 
duties  Dr  Young  has  at  one  time  or 
another  held  practically  every  office  of 
administration  in  the  College.  From  1896 


PROFESSOR  A.  H.  YOUNG 

until  1902  he  was  librarian  and  to  his  wise 
selection  and  sound  literary  judgment  the 
library  owes  a  great  debt.  From  1903  until 
1914  he  was  registrar  of  the  College  and 
from  1907  until  1914  he  was  also  registrar 
of  the  University  of  Trinity  College.  For 
over  twenty  years  he  has  been  clerk  of 
Convocation  and  during  the  greater  part 
of  that  time  he  has  acted  as  editor  of  the 
Trinity  Year  Book. 

In  1914  he  was  made  dean  of  Residence 
and  during  the  changing  conditions  of  the 
past  eight  years  he  has  exercised  a  par- 
ticularly intelligent  and  sympathetic  over- 
sight of  the  students.  Apart  from  his 
official  connection  with  them  his  personal 
interest  in  their  undertakings  has  been 


many-sided.  He  was  for  years  honorary 
president  of  the  Athletic  Association;  he 
assisted  in  the  founding  of  the  Glee  Club 
and  has  acted  as  honorary  president  since 
1905;  for  more  than  thirty  years  he  has 
been  actively  connected  with  the  publica- 
tion of  the  Trinity  University  Review.  In 
his  dealings  with  the  students  sincerity  of 
speech  and  courtesy  of  expression  make 
his  counsel  to  be  sought  and  his  opinion 
to  be  valued.  Moreover  he  is  not  without 
the  saving  grace  of  Scotch  humour  which 
seasons  all  his  pronouncements.  In  his 
college  room  many  an  undergraduate  has 
found  friendly  encouragement  and  a  stimu- 
lating influence  to  high  endeavour.  Many 
an  alumnus  comes  from  the  activity  of 
busy  professional  life  to  enjoy  the  privilege 
of  companionship  with  one  who  combines 
the  cultivation  and  the  charm  of  scholar- 
ship with  the  insight  of  a  mind  excep- 
tionally well  informed  as  to  modern  affairs, 
especially  those  of  his  own  country. 

His  keenness  for  Canadian  History 
amounts  almost  to  a  passion.  His  research 
into  the  early  chronicles  of  Ontario  has 
resulted  in  the  recent  contributions  to 
scholarship  of  two  valuable  and  interesting 
publications,  The  Rev.  John  Stuart,  D.D., 
U.E.L.  of  Kingston  and  his  Family,  and 
The  Parish  Register  of  Kingston,  1785-1811. 
For  a  great  many  years  he  has  been  accu- 
mulating material  for  a  definitive  life  of 
the  Hon.  and  Right  Rev  John  Strachan, 
founder  of  the  University  of  Trinity 
College  and  during  the  coming  year  he 
hopes  to  complete  the  preparations  for 
publication. 

With  unswerving  loyalty  and  unob- 
trusive service,  with  unusual  gifts  of  intel- 
lect and  character  to  share  with  under- 
graduate and  alumnus  alike,  Dr  Young 
has  spent  the  greater  part  of  his  life  in 
contributing  to  Trinity  that  element  of 
permanence  which  is  so  essential  a  factor 
in  the  successful  development  of  an  educa- 
tional institution.  It  is  our  pleasing  duty 
to  present  this  totally  inadequate  acknow- 
ledgement of  Dr  Young's  services  to  the 
College  and  to  the  University.  We  wish 
him  a  very  pleasant  and  restful  holiday 
and  shall  look  forward  to  his  return  to 
the  institution  where  for  so  many  years 
his  fine  intelligence,  wide  scholarship,  and 
gracious  courtesy  have  given  such  dis- 
tinction to  the  College  and  have  inspired 
and  developed  the  lives  of  so  many  young 
men  and  women  of  Canada. 


The  Second  Short  Course  for  Farmers 


How  long  does  it  take  to  arouse  class 
spirit?  Often  it  takes  a  very  long  time, 
sometimes  it  can  be  done  in  two  short 
weeks.  With  the  farmers  who  attended 
the  short  winter  course  at  the  University 
it  was  absolutely  spontaneous.  From  the 
moment  they  registered  in  Convocation 
Hall  until  the  last  speech  was  made,  the 
last  toast  was  drunk,  the  last  song  sung, 
and  the  final  cheer  given  in  the  Great  Hall 
of  Hart  House  at  the  class  banquet  which 
officially  wound  up  the  proceedings  of  the 
course,  the  farmers  demonstrated  that  they 
possess  class  spirit,  enthusiasm,  and  a  zeal 
for  organization  to  the  nth  degree. 

There  were  two  hundred  and  twenty-five 
registered  for  the  course,  about  fifty  less 
than  last  year,  but  what  they  lacked  in 
numbers,  however,  they  made  up  in 
enthusiasm.  The  fact  that  it  was  a  poor 
year  for  agriculture  and  that  the  legis- 
lature opened  later  than  it  was  expected 
accounts  for  the  decreased  attendance, 
but  as  it  was,  many  of  the  U.F.O.  Members 
took  advantage  of  their  presence  in  the 
city  to  attend  the  lectures  during  the 
second  week  of  the  course.  That  the 
same  conditions  prevail  elsewhere  is  shown 
by  the  fact  that  the  attendance  for  the 
similar  course  at  the  University  of  Mani- 
toba dropped  from  sixty- three  to  twenty- 
three  this  year. 

Seventy-five  of  last  year's  students  came 
back  again  to  continue  the  work  they  had 
started  the  year  before.  As  a  result  the 
course  was  divided  into  two  sections.  The 
subjects  in  the  first  section  were.  Psy- 
chology, Economics,  History,  Biology, 
Household  Science,  Public  Speaking,  Archi- 
tecture, and  Engineering.  In  the  second 
section  English,  Hygiene  and  commercial 
Geography  were  substituted  for  History, 
Psychology  and  Architecture.  The  only 
two  subjects  that  were  compulsory  were 
Public  Speaking  and  Economics. 

The  social  side  played  no  small  part  in 
the  entertainment  of  the  students.  They 
availed  themselves  of  the  privileges  of 
Hart  House  and  the  University  College 
Women's  Union  which  were  thrown  open 
for  their  use.  Moreover,  they  were 
entertained  lavishly  on  all  sides;  tea  at 
the  College  of  Education,  a  tour  of  the 
buildings  of  Applied  Science  and  Engi- 
neering under  the  guidance  of  the  Dean, 


several  tours  of  inspection  of  the  Massey- 
Harris  works,  and  tea  as  guests  of  the 
U.F.O.,  winding  up  with  an  inspection  of 
General  Wholesalers.  Besides  these  there 
were  various  lectures  around  the  Univer- 
sity, and  especially  they  appreciated  the 
University  sermon  on  Sunday  morning, 
February  12.  In  fact  they  thoroughly 
entered  into  every  phase  of  University  life 
during  their  brief  stay. 

To  show  that  they  had  profited  by  their 
lectures  in  public  speaking,  a  Farmers' 
Mock  Parliament  was  held  one  evening 
in  Hart  House  and  matters  of  great  gravity 
and  importance  were  discussed.  Formal 
parliamentary  procedure  was  not  lacking 
although  various  features  showed  an  adap- 
tation to  rural  culture  and  the  mace 
borne  so  pompously  by  the  sergeant-at- 
arms  had  a  suspicious  resemblance  to  a 
pitchfork.  The  subject  for  discussion  was 
a  bill  regarding  compulsory  military  train- 
ing, to  be  given  its  second  reading,  and 
great  humour  and  deep  thought  sig- 
nalized the  speeches.  In  the  end  Parlia- 
ment was  adjourned  for  a  year,  discussion

to  be  continued  then,  and  the  bill  to  be 
given  its  third  reading. 

The  curtain  goes  down  on  the  .~L 
picture  of  the  farmers  at  dinner  in  the 
sacred  precincts  of  the  Great  Hall.  There 
students  and  instructors  met  for  the  last 
time  in  a  jovial  gathering  and  the  halls 
of  learning  resounded  with  the  wit  and 
merriment  of  the  tillers  of  Ontario's  soil, 
and  perhaps  its  future  legislators.  In  the 


end,  they  returned  to  their  own  homes  to 
carry  back  to  the  thirty-four  counties  of 
the  Prow  ce  which  they  represented,  the 
story  of  ./hat  the  University  had  done  for 
them  and  what  it  is  trying  to  do  for  all 
of  Ontario's  citizens.  Let  us  hope  that 
both  the  Province  and  the  University 
may  reap  the  harvest  of  mutual  under- 
standing and  appreciation. 


The  Pros  and  Cons  of  the  Full-Time  System  in  Medicine 


Some  criticism  has  recently  been  directed 
at  the  administration  of  the  Medical 
Faculty  in  respect  to  the  inauguration  of 
full-time  professorships  in  the  clinical 
subjects,  Medicine  and  Surgery.  A  con- 
troversy which  at  times  became  quite 
vituperative  began  in  some  of  the  medical 
journals  and  spread  to  the  daily  press 
of  Toronto.  The  present  article  is  in  no 
sense  a  contribution  to  that  controversy. 
It  is  intended  simply  to  give  the  laymen 
some  idea  of  "what  it  is  all  about"  and 
to  set  forth  the  facts  of  the  situation. 

Inquiries  were  made  of  students  who 
had  experience  under  both  systems;  and 
statements  secured  from  two  prominent 
medical  men,  one  strongly  in  favour  of  the 
full-time  system,  and  the  other  fundament- 
ally opposed  to  it. 

For  many  years  full-time  instructors 
have  been  employed  in  Anatomy,  Path- 
ology, and  Biology,  but  it  is  only  within 
recent  years  that  full-time  men  have  been 
engaged  in  the  clinical  subjects,  Medicine 
and  Surgery.  On  this  continent  the 
system  was  first  installed  at  Johns  Hopkins 
where  it  has  been  in  force  for  some  seven 
years.  It  is  claimed,  however,  that  even 
there  it  has  not  yet  definitely  passed  the 
experimental  stage.  Some  of  the  medical 
schools  in  which  men  are  mainly  and 
entirely  in  charge  of  medical  and  surgical 
teaching  are:  English,  University  College 
Hospital,  London  Hospital,  St.  Bartholo- 
mew's Hospital,  St.  Thomas'  Hospital, 
St.  Mary's  Hospital;  American,  Johns 
Hopkins  Medical  School,  Washington  Uni- 
versity, St.  Louis,  Indiana  University, 
University  of  Michigan,  Columbia  Uni- 
versity Medical  School,  University  of 
California,  Yale  University. 

Before  proceeding  further  it  would  be 


well  to  define  what  is  meant  by  full  time 
clinical  instructors.  As  a  matter  of  fact 
"full-time"  is  a  misnomer  as  applied  to 
the  system  at  Toronto  and  in  most  of 
the  American  schools.  In  Toronto  the 
full-time  man  in  the  Medical  clinic  must 
devote  from  9  a.m.  until  4.30  p.m.  to  his 
hospital  and  academic  duties,  but  during 
the  remainder  of  the  day  he  is  free  to 
engage  in  private  practice  within  or  with- 
out the  hospital.  In  several  of  the  medical 
schools  of  the  United  States  the  full-time 
man  gives  all  his  time  to  hospital  or 
academic  duties,  or  if  he  does  see  other 
than  public  ward  patients  these  must 
come  to  the  private  wards  of  .the  hospital 
to  which  he  is  attached,  and  the  fee  which 
they  are  charged  is  collected  by  the 
hospital  and  used  for  the  development  of 
the  clinic.  In  other  schools  the  privileges 
of  private  practice  are  even  less  definitely 
defined,  the  understanding  simply  being 
that  the  full-time  man  will  regard  his 
medical  school  work  as  his  chief  vocation. 

At  Toronto  the  full-time  system  in 
Clinical  Medicine  was  installed  two  years 
ago,  and  last  autumn  it  was  inaugurated 
in  Surgery.  In  Medicine  there  are  five 
full-time  instructors — the  head  of  the 
department  and  four  assistants.  In  ad- 
dition to  these  there  are  thirty  part  time 
clinical  instructors,  practising  physicians, 
who  (at  present  without  remuneration) 
conduct  certain  clinics  under  the  direction 
of  the  head. 

Members  of  this  year's  graduating  class 
who  have  had  experience  of  both  systems 
seem  on  the  whole  to  be  in  favour  of  the 
full-time  system.  They  find  the  work 
well  organized  and  classroom  and  clinical 
teaching  well  correlated.  On  the  other 
hand  the  majority  of  students  express  a 


UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO  MONTLY 


257 


preference  for  the  teacher  who  is  in  close 
touch  with  private  practice  and  can  con- 
stantly draw  on  his  experience  for  illus- 
trative purposes. 

Advantages  of  the  Full -Time  System 

By  One  in  Favour  of  it. 

THE  disadvantages  of  the  part-time 
system  in  clinical  subjects  may  be 
divided  into  two  groups  or  cate- 
gories. In  the  one,  which  we  may  call 
general,  is  the  indubitable  fact  that  in- 
structors have  acquired  their  knowledge 
of  disease  solely  by  observation  of  symp- 
toms, through  the  experience  of  clinical 
practice,  cannot  be  in  a  position  to  direct 
the  student's  mind  to  seek  out  the  under- 
lying cause  of  the  disease  which  is  re- 
sponsible for  the  symptoms.  A  teacher 
of  this  class,  unless  he  be  of  exceptional 
ability,  cannot  expect  to  be  able  to  stimu- 
late in  the  student  that  enquiring  habit 
of  mind  which  alone  will  enable  him  to 
advance  abreast  of  medical  scientific  know- 
ledge, and  unless  our  students  are  stimu- 
lated by  their  instructors  in  this  way,  we 
cannot  expect  them  to  become  better 
physicians  or  surgeons  than  their  in- 
structors. 

The  second  group  of  disadvantages  are 
of  a  more  practical  nature  and  the  chief 
of  them  may  be  enumerated  as  follows: 

1.  The  demands  of  private  practice  must 
as  a  rule  take  precedence  to  those  of  the 
teaching  clinic  if  the  physician  or  surgeon 
is  to  build  up  and  retain  a  large  clientele. 
This  principle  is  so  well  recognized  that 
teaching  appointments  must  often  be  con- 
sidered   as   secondary    to    "urgent   calls" 
from  private  patients. 

2.  The  day  of  the  general  practitioner 
is  usually  so  completely  filled  with   the 
duties   of   his   practice   that   he   has   but 
little  time  or  energy  left  for  the  perusal 
even  of  the  general  medical  journals  and 
still  less  for  serious  study  of  the  special 
journals    and    monographs    in   which    the 
discoveries  of  modern  medical  and  surgical 
science  are  expounded. 

3.  Under  the  conditions  set  forth  above 
it  is  impossible  for  one  man  who  is  pri- 
marily engaged  in  practice  to  undertake 
control  of  all  the  teaching  of  medicine  or 
surgery.     This  has  to  be  divided  among 
several,    with    the    result,    as    experience 
shows,  that  there  is  but  little  correlation 
of  instruction  and  the  student  often  com- 


pletes his  course  with  a  very  poorly 
balanced  knowledge  of  disease.  With  no 
one  of  the  group  of  senior  instructors 
personally  responsible  for  seeing  to  it  that 
the  whole  vast  field  of  medicine  or  surgery 
is  adequately  covered  and  the  instruction 
properly  graded  and  correlated,  it  is  in- 
evitable that  the  instruction  must  be 
one  sided.  Under  the  part-time  system, 
the  hospital  wards  are  usually  divided 
into  several  services  with  a  physician  or 
surgeon  in  charge  of  each,  and  the  students 
are  sent  either  in  groups  throughout  the 
year  or  as  a  whole  at  different  periods  of 
the  year  to  the  services  with  no  one  of  the 
service  heads  endowed  with  sufficient 
authority  to  see  that  the  instruction  on  one 
service  is  properly  correlated  with  that  of 
another. 

The  following  are  among  the  most  striking 
benefits  of  the  full-time  system: 

1.  The  instruction  of  the  various  parts 
of  the  subject  is  properly  co-ordinated  and 
systematized.     Under  the  guidance  of  the 
head  of  the  department,   the  various  in- 
structors meet  frequently  to  discuss  ques- 
tions  of   policy   in   teaching,   particularly 
with  regard  to  nomenclature  and  classifi- 
cation of  diseases  and  symptoms,  theories 
of  etiology,   principles  of  treatment,   etc. 
Unless     someone     is     given     paramount 
authority    to   require    this    correlation    of 
teaching,    it    can    never    be    successfully 
effected  and  without  it  the  student  is  bound 
to  get  a  poorly  balanced  course  of  instruc- 
tion and  to  be  bewildered  by  the  divergent 
views  of  his  different  teachers.    Experience 
has  shown  that  this  can  be  done  without 
sacrifice  of  individuality  in  teaching. 

2.  The  examination  system  is  unified  so 
that  there  is  little  chance  of  poorly  trained 
students   slipping   through. 

3.  The  cases  in  the  wards  are  assigned  by 
a  carefully  administered  system  to  those 
men  who  are  best  qualified  to  treat  them, 
and  every  aid  to  diagnosis  is  provided  for 
by  the  team  work  of  a  group  of  specialists 
who  are  constantly  working  together. 

4.  Classes  are  not  missed  because  the 
instructor  is  detained  by  a  private  case 
which  it  is  impossible  for  him  to  leave. 
However  well  a  service  consisting  entirely 
of  part-time  men  be  organized,  this  missing 
of  classes  is  inevitable. 

5.  The  students  are  brought  in  contact 
with  different  types  of  teachers  at  proper 
stages  in  their  educational  progress.    They 


258 


UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO  MONTHLY 


are  not  asked  to  wander  aimlessly  in  out- 
patients departments  before  they  have 
become  familiar  with  the  principles  of 
diagnosis  in  the  wards. 

6.  All  the  clinical  material  of  the  hospital 
being  available,  it  is  possible  to  show  to 
the  entire  class,  cases  that  are  illustrative 
of  all  the  commoner  diseases.  Under  the 
old  system  it  was  not  infrequently  the  case 
that  many  students  went  through  their 
course  in  Medicine  and  Surgery  without 
actually  seeing  many  types  of  disease. 

Fundamental  Weaknesses  of  the  Full 
Time  System 

By  One  Opposed  to  it. 

1.  Full-time  professorships  and  team 
or  group  practice  are  devices  evolved  in 
the  attempt  to  bridge  over  the  gap  be- 
tween the  man  in  the  trenches  (the  doctor 
in  charge  of  sick  folk  in  the  home- — and 
95%  of  all  sickness  must  be  cared  for  in 
the  home)  and  the  G.H.Q.  at  the  Base 
(the  research  laboratories  on  which  progress 
in  Medicine  depends) . 

The  lines  of  communication  have  been 
enormously  extended  in  the  past  fifty  years, 
and  particularly  in  the  past  ten  years,  by 
the  developments  in  Physics,  in  various 
branches  of  Chemistry,  in  Embryology 
and  other  special  departments  of  Anatomy, 
in  Physiology,  in  Psychology  (if  it  can  be 
called  a  science),  and  in  other  directions. 
,  2.  Workers  in  these  latter  fields  have  as 
a  rule  no  sense  of  proportion.  They  fail  to 
remember  that  the  human  mind  is  finite, 
and  that  the  day  is  long  past  when  any 
one  living  man  can  cover  more  than  a 
fraction  of  the  fields  they  are  exploring. 
Confusion  of  thought  has  arisen,  and  they 
have  forgotten  that  qua  Medicine  their 
subjects  are  only  a  means  to  an  end,  not 
an  end  in  themselves.  They  have  erected 
their  research,  usually  conducted  on  ab- 
stract lines,  into  an  industry  which  they 
believe  to  have  a  right  to  exist  on  its  own 
account.  This  position  the  physician  or 
surgeon  responsible  for  the  lives  of  his 
fellow  creatures  can  never  admit  to  be 
either  sound  or  justifiable  in  the  relation 
between  science  and  the  healing  art. 
Hippocrates,  born  460  B.C.  and  in  a  pagan 
community,  in  one  of  his  aphorisms  puts 
the  question  right  for  all  time  when  he  says 
that  "It  is*  the  duty  of  the  physician  in 


undertaking  the  care  of  a  sick  person  to 
place  the  sick  man  and  his  friends,  and  all 
his  surroundings  in  train  for  his  recovery." 
3.  Another  confusion  of  thought  has 
emerged  in  the  failure  of  the  pure  science 
school  to  differentiate,  in  the  curricula 
which  they  prescribe,  between  the  scope 
and  methods  of  teaching  which  suit  the 
ends  of  the  investigating  and  ' '  researching ' ' 
graduate,  and  those  applicable  to  the 
floundering  undergraduate.  Cognate  with 
this  error  is  the  very  erroneous  idea  that 
research  work  in  these  subjects  ancillary 
to  Medicine  is  of  itself  cultural,  and 
humanizing,  and  broadening.  On  the 
contrary  the  product  obtained  by  these 
methods  is,  so  far  as  contact  with  the 
sick  is  concerned,  very  apt  to  be  a  mere 
arid  scholasticism  rather  than  a  humane 
and  helpful  scholarship  capable  of  pro- 
viding what  the  sick  chiefly  need,  i.e., 
moral  support  and  relief  in  their  times  of 
fear  and  pain.  The  system  is  much  more 
apt  to  produce  technicians  than  clinicians. 

4.  This  is  very  far  from  saying  that  re- 
search in  general  is  not  desirable ;  it  is  both 
desirable  and  necessary,  but  must  be  made 
to  occupy  its  proper  place  in  the  scheme 
of  medical  training.    Without  it,  progress, 
real  progress  that  is,  in  Medicine  is  not 
possible.     But  the  full-time  professor,  and 
his  adjunct,  the  group  or  team  system  of 
teaching   and   practice,    not   only   fail    to 
give  to  the  patient  what  he  most  needs, 
moral  support,  but  fail  to  provide  for  the 
public   a   type   of   practitioner   who   can, 
without    the    technical    skill    required    of 
the   modern   physicist  or  physiologist   or 
chemist,   appropriate   for  clinical  uses  in 
his  contact  with  the  sick  the  useful  part 
of   the   research   man's  work,   and    be   a 
source    of    comfort    and     encouragement 
and  relief  to  the  public  whom  he  serves. 

5.  The  teacher  of  Medicine  would  do 
well    to    note    the    synchronizing    of    the 
modern  drift  of  the  public  to  the  irregular 
healer,  to  quacks  and  wonder  workers  and 
untrained  pretenders,  to  Spiritualism  and 
Christian  Science  (sic),   with    the   advent 
of  our  modern  methods  of  teaching,  and 
present  day  ideas  of  the  relative  importance 
of   the   various  subjects   of    the    medical 
curricula  of  the  day.     There  is  more  than 
mere  coincidence  in  it,  though  it   is   not 
intended  to  imply  that  the  one  is  the  sole 
cause  of  the  other. 


Edward  L.  Cousins 

BY  GEORGE  T.  CLARK,  '06 


BORN  of  Toronto  parents  thirty-nine 
years  ago  and  educated  in  Toronto 
schools  and  the  University  of  Tor- 
onto, the  subject  of  this  sketch  is  a  purely 
Toronto  product  and  one  of  whom  his 
native  city  may  well  be  proud.  After 
matriculation  from  St  Andrew's  College  he 
entered  the  Faculty  of  Applied  Science  and 
Engineering.  Between  his  first  and  second 
years  he  spent  two  years  as  assistant 
engineer  on  the  Grand  Trunk  Railway  and 
his  work  while  in  that  position  was  so 
satisfactory  that  the  same  Company  sought 
his  services  as  division  engineer  of  the 
Middle  and  Southern  Division  in  the 
spring  of  1907  before  he  had  completed  his 
university  training.  This  offer  was  a  com- 
pliment not  only  to  Mr  Cousins  but  also 
to  the  University,  and  the  latter,  learning 
the  circumstances,  granted  the  degree  of 
B.A.Sc.,  with  aegrotat  standing  without 
requiring  an  examination. 

One  of  the  important  pieces  of  work 
carried  out  under  his  supervision  as 
division  engineer  was  grade  separation  be- 
tween Brantford  and  Paris.  In  connection 
with  this  work  an  interesting  anecdote  was 
recently  told  to  the  writer  by  Mr  F.  H. 
McGuigan,  then  General  Superintendent 
of  the  Grand  Trunk.  On  one  of  his  tours  of 
inspection  of  this  grade  separation  work 
he  noticed  some  one  assisting  in  the  opera- 
tion of  a  wheel  scraper  who  did  not  look 
like  one  of  the  workmen.  On  enquiry  he 
found  that  the  teamsters  had  gone  on 
strike  and  that  Cousins,  who  had  finished 
his  instrument  work  for  the  day,  had  taken 
over  a  scraper  for  the  afternoon  in  order 
that  the  grading  work  might  not  be  de- 
layed. This  evident  enthusiasm  and  in- 
terest in  the  progress  of  his  employer's 
work  is  as  characteristic  of  the  man  to-day 
as  it  was  then. 

Leaving  the  staff  of  the  Grand  Trunk 
Railway  to  become  assistant  city  engineer, 
Department  of  Railways,  Bridges  and 
Docks,  City  of  Toronto,  in  July,  1910,  he 
was  placed  in  a  position  where  his  interests 
were  directly  opposed  to  those  of  his 
former  employer.  This  was  in  connection 
with  grade  separation  in  the  City  of 
Toronto  between  Strachan  Avenue  and 
the  West  City  Limits  and  in  the  handling 
of  this  delicate  situation  there  was  dis- 
played that  same  tact  and  business  acumen 


which  won  him  not  only  the  approbation 
of  the  City  but  also  the  respect  of  the 
Railway. 

It  was  also  during  his  tenure  of  office  in 
the  City  Hall  that  the  City  made  its  start 
on  a  publicly  owned  and  operated  trans- 
portation system,  the  civic  car  lines  on 
St  Clair,  Gerrard  and  Danforth  having 
been  planned  and  constructed  at  that  time, 
and  plans  and  report  prepared  for  a  sub- 
way from  the  waterfront  to  St  Clair 
Avenue. 


E.  L.  COUSINS,  Sc.  '07. 

The  Act  incorporating  the  present  Tor- 
onto Harbour  Commission  was  passed  in 
May,  1911,  and  the  Commissioners  soon 
after  their  appointment  were  faced  with 
the  problem  of  finding  a  suitable  chief 
engineer.  They  appreciated  the  fact  that 
to  make  their  undertaking  a  success  they 
required  a  man  of  tact  and  initiative, 
imbued  with  the  energy  and  enthusiasm  of 
youth,  with  the  necessary  technical  training 
to  deal  with  the  purely  engineering  prob- 
lems, yet  with  the  vision  of  a  crreamer  and 
the  experience  of  middle  age.  What  a 
combination  to  expect  in  one  individual ! 

Those  who  knew  him  best  in  the  class 
of  1906  at  the  "Old  Red  School"  do  not

have  to  draw  on  their  imagination  to 
picture  E.  L.  Cousins  filling  the  above 
requirements  to  a  remarkable  degree. 
The  same  characteristic  optimism  in  evi- 
dence the  night  before  a  stiff  examination 
in  the  old  days,  the  same  ability  to  mix 
which  elected  him  to  many  an  office  in 
undergraduate  organizations,  and  the  same 
student  qualities  which  obtained  for  him  a 
university  degree  without  a  final  examina- 
tion, all  have  fulfilled  their  promise  in  the 
production  of  the  outstanding  man  of  his 
University  year. 

The  keen,  hard-headed  business  men 
constituting  the  Harbour  Commission  were 
quick  to  recognize  in  this  youthful  appli- 
cant those  qualities  which  they  deemed 
necessary  for  the  position,  and  it  is  ab- 
solutely safe  to  say  that  his  choice  from 
among  a  large  number  of  applicants  has 
never  been  regretted;  in  fact  he  seems  to 
have  been  peculiarly  adapted  by  training 
and  temperament  to  carry  out  this  many- 
sided  development,  the  right  man  at  the 
right  time  to  plan  and  execute  a  great  civic 
undertaking. 

In  addition  to  the  harbour  improvements 
many  other  undertakings  have  had  the 
advantage  of  his  technical  training  and 
sound  business  judgment  during  the  past 
nine  years.  He  prepared  a  comprehensive 
plan,  in  conjunction  with  the  consulting 
architect  for  the  Federal  Plan  Com- 
mission of  Ottawa  and  Hull,  in  connection 
with  a  town  planning  scheme  for  these  two 


cities.  During  1915  a  complete  plan  was 
prepared,  by  a  board  of  engineers  with  the 
subject  of  this  sketch  as  engineer-in-charge, 
on  rapid  transit  and  radial  railway  en- 
trances for  the  City  of  Toronto.  He  was 
Deputy  Fuel  Administrator  for  the  Pro- 
vince of  Ontario  during  the  fuel  shortage 
in  1917  and  1918,  and  Industrial  Com- 
missioner for  the  City  of  Toronto  from 
December,  1918,  to  date. 

And  the  performance  of  all  these  onerous 
duties  and  the  associations  incident  to  them 
have  resulted  in  what? — a  complete  fulfil- 
ment of  the  promise  of  college  days;  a 
reputation  among  his  business  associates 
for  broad-mindedness  and  soundness  of 
judgment  possessed  by  few  men  twenty 
years  his  senior;  two  or  three  breakdowns 
in  health  because  the  available  supply  of 
energy  was  not  equal  to  the  enthusiasm; 
and  the  creation  of  a  feeling  of  intense 
loyalty  on  the  part  of  all  who  have  ever 
been  in  his  employ,  because  they  are  in- 
variably made  to  feel  that  they  are  working 
with  him  and  not  for  him. 

Such  is  E.  L.  Cousins,  Chief  Engineer 
and  Manager  of  the  Toronto  Harbour 
Commission,  still  on  the  sunny  side  of 
forty,  an  outstanding  figure  in  the  life  of 
his  native  city,  possessing  the  entire  con- 
fidence of  its  citizens,  considered  by  his 
friends  the  whitest  man  they  have  ever 
known,  and  judging  from  past  achieve- 
ments, capable  of  rising  to  almost  any 
height  in  business  life  or  national  service. 


Additional  Accommodation  for  U.C.  Women  Secured 


The  first  decisive  step  has  been  taken  in 
overcoming  the  cramped  and  otherwise 
undesirable  conditions  which  have  hither- 
to hampered  the  women  students  at 
University  College.  The  Ontario  Govern- 
nent  has  approved  the  purchase  of  the  old 
Nicholls  residence  at  79  St  George  Street, 
md  this  building,  after  various  alterations 
md  extensions,  will  become  the  Women's 
Jnion,  the  pivot  of  the  women's  activities 
)f  University  College.  The  building  at 
$5  St.  George  Street,  which  is  now  used 
or  that  purpose,  is  to  become  a  residence 
)f  the  same  order  as  the  one  at  94  St. 
George  Street,  and  will  accommodate 
:wenty-five  students. 

The  Nicholls  property  is  a  fine  old 
•esidence  although  it  is  not  much  larger 


than  the  old  Union,  and  has  fewer  rooms. 
But  the  rooms  are  larger,  more  attractive 
and  can  be  more  easily  adapted  for  com- 
mon-rooms, and  there  is  on  the  whole 
greater  room  for  expansion  on  the  new 
property.  As  it  stands  at  present  there  are 
three  large  rooms,  a  sunroom  and  a  large 
hall  on  the  ground  floor,  and  four  good- 
sized  rooms  on  each  of  the  second  and 
third  floors. 

In  order  to  make  79  St  George  Street 
habitable  much  more  accommodation  is 
needed  and  it  is  proposed  to  build  an 
addition  to  the  rear  of  the  house.  Some 
plans  are  on  view  at  the  office  of  Colonel 
Le  Pan,  the  Superintendent  of  Buildings 
and  Grounds  of  the  University,  but  these 
are  merely  tentative  and  will  probably  be

altered  considerably  before  they  reach 
their  final  form.  As  they  stand  at  present 
the  plans  allow  for  an  addition  about  ninety 
feet  deep  which  will  extend  almost  to  the 
fence-line  at  the  rear  of  the  property.  The 
main  floor  of  the  extension  contains  two 
dining-rooms,  one  considerably  larger  than 
the  other  which  may  be  isolated  for  special 
purposes.  In  addition  there  will  be  the 
necessary  kitchens  and  pantries.  The 
dining-hall  accommodation  on  the  whole 
will  be  170  for  dinner  in  the  evening  and 
twice  that  number  for  the  cafeteria  lun- 
cheon. Above  the  dining-room  will  be  a 
large  lecture  or  assembly  room,  equipped 
with  a  stage  or  dressing-room  which  will 
be  suitable  for  entertainments  of  various 
kinds. 

The  great  difficulty  that  must  be  faced 
is  the  lack  of  adequate  servant  and  office 
accommodation  in  the  new  building.  There 
are  only  seven  rooms  on  the  first  and  second 
floors  and  these  are  scarcely  enough  for 
the  common  rooms,  library,  magazine 
room,  guest  rooms  and  offices  for  the  resi- 
dent head  and  dietitians,  which  are  abso- 
lute essentials  for  a  complete  Union.  The 
four  rooms  on  the  third  floor  are  certainly 
not  enough  for  the  bedroom  accommoda- 
tion for  the  staff  and  servants,  and  do 
not  even  compare  favourably  with  the 
seven  rooms  used  for  that  purpose  at  the 
present  Union. 

The  University  College  Alumnae  have 
been  for  years  the  chief  agitators  for  new 
buildings  for  women  and  during  the  last 
few  years  they  have  been  raising  a  fund 
for  this  end  and  have  been  developing  plans 
for  the  proposed  building.  In  order  to 
consider  how  the  defects  in  79  St  George 
Street  may  be  remedied,  Principal  Hutton 
has  asked  that  two  members  from  the 
Buildings  Committee  of  the  University 
College  Alumnae  be  appointed  to  sit  with 
the  sub-committee  of  the  University  Col- 
lege Council.  The  Alumnae  desire,  above 
all,  to  have  the  new  Union  adequate  and 
not  merely  another  temporary  makeshift 
that  involves  huge  expense.  As  Mrs 
Henderson,  the  chairman  of  the  Building 
Committee  said,  "The  committee  feels 
that  it  is  a  very  great  misfortune  to  have 
such  a  very  good  thing  as  this  without 
making  it  better."  To  this  end  they  are 
co-operating  with  the  University  College 
officials  and  they  hope  that  a  satisfactory 
result  will  be  attained. 


Gems  from  the  Alumni 
Lecture  Series 


The  series  of  public  lectures  arranged 
by  the  Alumni  Federation  with  a  view  to 
interesting  a  larger  number  of  Toronto 
people  in  the  University  has  been  pre- 
eminently successful.  The  lectures  have 
been  of  a  particularly  high  order,  and 
Convocation  Hall  with  its  1800  seats  has 
been  filled  on  nearly  every  occasion.  Several 
hundred  people  were  unable  to  gain  ad- 
mittance to  the  first  of  the  series. 

In  the  opening  lecture  Professor  Wrong 
gave  an  able  and  brilliant  review  of  the  con- 
ditions which  lead  up  to  the  calling  of  the 
Washington  Conference  and  told  of  what 
the  Conference  had  done.  Unfortunately 
Professor  Wrong  spoke  under  the  handicap 
of  the  fact  that  the  Conference  had  not 
at  that  time  concluded  its  deliberations. 
As  Professor  Wrong  spoke  from  notes  we 
are  unable  to  give  extracts  from  his  address. 

The  following  are  extracts  from  lectures 
which  have  been  given  previous  to  the 
time  of  going  to  press. 

THE  ART  OF  LEWIS  CARROLL  BY 
PRINCIPAL  MAURICE  HUTTON 

A  word  of  introduction.  I  read  in  the  Globe, 
which  has  the  largest  circulation  of  any  morning 
paper  in  Ontario — with  me — that  my  valued  col- 
league Professor  Wrong  would  lecture  on  the  Peace 
Conference  in  Washington  and  that  I  should  follow 
— I  am  trying  to  kep  my  "woulds"  and  "shoulds" 
correct — a  hard  matter  in  Toronto — with  "Alice 
in  Wonderland".  And  some  people  asked  is  this 
a  stroke  of  sardonic  wit  in  Professor  Wrong  or  of 
cynicism  in  Professor  Hutton;  or  can  it  even  be 
a  rare  stroke  of  subtle  humour  on  the  part  of  the 
Globe  and  a  few  of  them  added  academically  o  si 
sic  omnia.  But  it  was  none  of  the  three,  just  a 
piece  of  nonsense  on  the  part  of  the  committee 
organizing  these  lectures,  as  a  fitting  introduction 
to  Lewis  Carroll.  . 

To  return  to  Lewis  Carroll.  If  only  he  had 
maintained  that  absoluteness  of  separation  between 
Carroll  and  Dodgson  to  the  end!  But  the  devout 
clergyman  in  him  would  not  down  (it  will  not 
down  in  me,  you  will  see  before  this  lecture  is  over) 
and  so  as  laughter  and  health  failed,  and  they 
failed  early  (before  he  was  sixty  years  of  age),  not 
unnaturally  for  this  lonely  clerical  and  mathematic 
don.  As  nonsense  became  unnatural  and  impossible, 
instead  of  lapsing  into  silence  or  mathematics,  as 
a  wiser  man  would  have  done,  he  allowed  his  newer 
sermonizing  and  elderly  self  to  invade  that  lighter 
and  more  youthful  and  more  genial  sell  which  was 
also  his  only  genius,  and  to  mingle  itself  with  books 
for  children,  and  to  well  nigh  spoil  Sylvie  and  Bruno 
(I  have  split  infinitive  there,  thank  Heaven!  I  love 
them;  they  are  very  Greek). 

A  little  girl  between  seven  and  twelve  is  the

most  delightful  object  on  this  dubious  and  chequered 
earth,  and  Alice  made  us  see  it  if  we  were  too  blind 
to  see  it  of  ourselves  before;  as  Barrie  also  made  us 
see  in  Dear  Brutus  (especially  when  Miss  Helen 
Hayes  acts  the  child).  It  even  seems  a  pity  almost 
that  the  development  of  young  women  cannot  be 
arrested  at  this  perfect  age  and  stage.  The  half 
is  greater  than  the  whole;  and  let  no  one  suspect 
here  a  cynicism.  I  am  quoting  Through  the  Looking 
Glass  and  Alice  is  never  cynical. 

There  is  the  doctrine,  ancient,  simple,  true;  girls 
should  leave  off  growing  older  at  seven — instead  of 
at  twenty-seven. 

He  had  a  sound  instinct  for  words.  Here  is  a 
part  of  the  scene  where  Alice  suddenly  begins  to 
grow  abnormally  large.  "  Curiouser  and  curiouser  " 
said  Alice.  She  was  so  much  surprised  that  for  the 
moment  she  quite  forgot  how  to  speak  good  English. 
"Now  I'm  opening  out  like  the  largest  telescope 
that  ever  was.  Good-bye  feet.  Oh  my  poor  little 
feet,  I  wonder  who  will  put  on  your  shoes  and 
stockings  for  you  now  dears.  I  shall  be  a  great 
deal  too  far  away  to  trouble  myself  about  you. 
You  must  manage  the  best  way  you  can." 

"But  I  must  be  kind  to  them"  thought  Alice, 
"or  perhaps  they  won't  walk  the  way  I  want  to  go. 
Let  me  see;  I'll  give  them  a  new  pair  of  boots  every 
Christmas."  And  she  went  on  planning  to  herself 
how  sh!e  would  manage  it.  "They  must  go  by 
carrier's  cart"  she  thought,  "and  how  funny  it'll 
seem  sending  presents  to  one's  own  feet;  and  how 
odd  the  direction  will  look:  Alice's  Right  Foot, 
Esquire,  Hearthrug,  near  the  fender,  with  Alice's 
love,  etc."  "Curiouser  and  curiouser"  is  good  just 
as  "nobled  Queen"  is  good  even  though  it  be,  as 
all  other  good  modern  jests  are,  an  imitation  of  the 
classics,  adapted  obviously  from  Juvenal's  egregius 
coenat  meliusque  miserrimus  horum.  It  is  good 
none  the  less. 

There  is  virtue  in  a  pun  in  spite  of  this  degenerate 
age  which  has  lost  the  gift  for  tasting  the  bouquet 
of  puns,  as  it  has  lost  the  gift  for  tasting  the  bouquet 
of  wines.  Lewis  Carroll,  by  the  way,  was  very 
proud  of  his  gift  for  tasting  this  latter  bouquet  also. 
He  was  even  appointed  to  choose  the  contents  of 
the  Christ  Church  wine  cellars.  I  am  making  some 
of  you  feel  thirsty.  Here  is  a  recipe  for  thirst  from 
the  Looking  Glass.  "I  am  so  hot  and  thirsty", 
said  Alice.  "I  know  what  you'd  like"  the  Queen 
said  goodnaturedly  taking  a  little  box  out  of  her 
pocket.  "You'd  like  a  biscuit".  But  one  has  to  be 
midly  Victorian  with  a  vivid  memory  of  cracknels, 
to  savour  the  full  flavour  of  that  offer.  It  has  a 
savour,  believe  me,  with  the  memory. 

ACADEMIC    FREEDOM    BY    SIR    ROBERT 
FALCONER* 

Universities  are  not  pontificial  colleges  for  the 
propagation  of  authoritative  doctrines,  but  self- 
governing  dominions  inheriting  assured  truths 
which  they  test  anew  extending  also  the  boundaries 
of  knowledge.  They  cannot  undertake  to  uphold 
orthodox  creeds.  The  word  'orthodox"  does  not 
fit  the  place.  It  implies  fixity,  whereas  the  com- 
prehension of  truth  is  always  being  enlarged.  What 
university  would  adopt  Marxian  economics  as  its 
standard,  or  protection  or  free  trade,  or  Kantian 
philosophy,  or  republican  or  monarchial  govern-

cation to  the  Extension  Office. 


ment?  It  discusses  the  principles  of  all;  it  must 
not  be  compelled  to  confess  itself  the  subject  of 
a-y.  If  Germany  had  had  more  scientific  historians 
who  were  true  to  their  philosophic  freedom,  and 
fewer  Treitschkes  who  turned  their  classrooms  into 
centres  for  patriotic  propagandism,  her  students 
might  not  have  had  to  perish  on  the  battlefields  to 
uphold  a  false  theory  of  the  State. 

No  more  valuable  experience  can  a  student  get 
than  from  observing  a  professor  examine  the  weak- 
ness^  or  the  strength  of  economic  or  social  systems 
not  in  the  spirit  of  a  cynic  or  an  optimist,  but  as  a 
sincere  seeker  for  the  truth  wherewith  to  improve 
human  society;  or  in  philosophy  than  to  have  been 
led  by  a  genuine  thinker  below  the  superficial  and 
unstable  assumptions  of  the  average  man  to  the 
foundations  of  human  reason.  .  .  . 

"It  is  one  of  the  most  sacred  privileges  of  a  uni- 
versity that  its  professors  shall  enjoy  academic 
freedom.  In  fact  a  university  in  which  professors 
are  overawed  by  political,  social,  or  sectarian  in- 
fluence, cannot  aspire  to  an  honourable  position  in 
the  Commonwealth  of  Learning.  Just  as  we 
measure  the  progress  of  democratic  government  by 
its  freedom  from  the  spoils  system  so  that  faithful 
servants  are  not  dispossessed  whenever  a  new  party 
comes  into  power,  so  we  can  measure  the  rank  and 
stability  of  a  university  by  the  security  given  to  a 
professor  to  pursue  and  expound  his  investigations 
without  being  compelled  to  justify  himself  to  those 
who  differ  from  him.  .  .  . 

The  professor  is  a  citizen  with  a  right  to  all  the 
privileges  of  a  citizen,  but  at  the  same  time  like  a 
judge  or  a  great  civil  servant  he  has  high  functions 
the  exercise  of  which  may  make  it  wise  for  him  not 
to  perform  all  the  offices  of  the  ordinary  citizen. 
Especially  is  this  the  case  in  a  state  university. 
Take  the  question  of  his  right  to  participate  actively 
in  politics.  .  .  . 

The  experience  of  the  United  States  is  that  in  the 
long  run  political  influence  in  universities  has  had 
even  worse  effects  than  sectarian,  and  now  that  the 
large  state  universities  are  receiving  from  the,  legis- 
latures such  immense  annual  revenues,  which  also 
constitute  the  overwhelming  portion  of  their  in- 
come, it  is  more  necessary  than  ever  that  cause 
shall  not  be  given  for  any  charge  that  the  university 
furthers  political  partizanship.  Like  the  courts  it 
must  serve  the  people  as  a  whole  irrespective  of 
party. 

It  is  therefore  expedient  that  a  professor  in  a 
state  university  should  take  no  active  share  in 
party-politics.  But  this  expediency  does  not  involve 
a  limitation  of  academic  freedom.  At  most  it  in- 
volves a  limitation  of  his  freedom  as  a  citizen,  such, 
however,  as  is  expedient  for  the  performance  of 
certain  other  specialized  functions  of  a  citizen,  as 
for  example  those  of  a  judge  or  a  great  civil  servant. 
Were  he  to  exercise  his  full  rights  in  active  politics 
he  might  disqualify  himself  for  his  higher  privileges 
of  service.  It  must  not  be  overlooked  that  the 
freedom  of  speech  by  a  citizen  is  different  from  the 
freedom  of  investigation  and  exposition  of  his  sub- 
ject by  a  professor  in  a  class-room.  Government 
policies  are  mainly  matters  of  personal  opinion,  and 
as  a  rule  are  not  the  result  of  calm  thought  and  to 
be  dignified  as  reasoned  convictions.  Should  a 
professor  at  any  time  feel  constrained,  for  what  he 
regards  as  the  higher  good  of  his  country,  to  enter 
the  field  of  party-politics,  he  should  ask  himsel 
whether  he  ought  not  to  abandon  the  secure  sea

which  he  holds  as  professor.  Other  men  who  enter 
politics  take  the  risks  to  their  positions  that  their 
action  involves.  They  have  no  refuge  to  which 
to  return  in  case  of  defeat. 

Moreover,  the  professor  is  not  a  person  who  lives 
to  himself;  he  is  a  member  of  the  University  com- 
munity, the  welfare  of  which  depends  upon  the 
good-will  of  a  government  and  of  the  people  as  a 
whole.  When  he  makes  public  utterances  therefore 
he  does  not  involve  himself  alone.  The  public  is 
prone  to  assume  that  he  has  some  backing  in  the 
University  for  what  he  says,  and  that  he  is  a  repre- 
sentative of  a  wide  circle  of  thought.  Indeed  his 
views  are  likely  to  be  given  much  more  importance 
because  he  is  a  professor  than  if  he  spoke  as  a 
private  person.  His  words  flash  with  a  reflected 
influence  on  which  he  cannot  divest  them.  This 
means  also  that  as  a  member  of  a  community  his 
action  affects  the  fortunes  of  his  fellows. 

BRIG.-GEN.  MITCHELL  ON  "ENGINEERING 
ACTIVITIES  IN  CANADA" 

Well !  there  is  an  uplift.  It  is  the  uplift  and  the 
objective  of  Canada  for  the  Canadians.  Canadian 
industries  and  their  products  for  Canada  first  and  it 
is  Canadian  brains  for  Canada.  We  have  many 
problems.  Many  for  the  engineer,  the  financier  and 
the  statesman.  I  should  have  said  when  trying 
earlier  to  describe  to  you  the  place  and  functions  of 
the  engineer,  that  there  was  another  definition  one 
that  linked  the  engineer  with  the  financier  and  the 
economics  of  the  country's  development;  it  is  "The 
engineer  is  one  who  can  make  a  dollar  do  the  most 
work".  He  is,  or  ought  to  be,  a  technical  business 
man  who  can  do  the  most,  make  the  most,  get  the 
most  for  one  dollar".  So  then  this  is  the  kind  of 
problem  that  ife  before  Canadian  engineers  and 
Canadian  engineering  to-day.  My  time  is  up  but 
just  let  me  state  in  conclusion, 'some  of  the  many 
problems  that  are  now  before  us  in  Canada,  prob- 
lems which  Canadian  engineering  coupled  with 
Canadian  finance  and  business  must  endeavour  to 
work  out,  to  attack  and  deal  with. 

1.  The  solution  of  the  economic  organization  and 
operation  of  our  National  Railways.     This  is  our 
key  problem  and  its  correct  solution  will  solve  many 
more  with  ease. 

2.  The  economic  electrification  of  steam  railways, 
as  distinct  from  the  construction  of  new  electric  ones. 

3.  The  economics  of  buil/iing  new  electric  inter- 
urban  and  trunk  railways  alongside  existing  steam 
roads. 

4.  Profitable  long  distance  electric  power  trans- 
mission.    It  is  now  250  miles,  may  it  be  500  miles 
or  700  miles  in  this  country?     Is  it  going  to  be 
solved  by  direct  current  transmission? 

5.  Consolidation  of  our  electric  power  supply  in 
Ontario  on  a  permanent  economic  basis  to  stabilize 
industries  with  power  at  the  lowest  possible  price. 
Power  from  Niagara  Falls  now  appears  likely  to 
increase  rather  than  decrease  in  price. 

6.  Means  of  getting  cheap  electric  power  delivered 
to  farming  communities. 

7.  The  operation  of  Hydro  Electric  power  plants 
in  the  very  cold  climate  and  frozen  rivers  of  the  far 
North  from  which  with  long  transmission  lines  to 
centres  of  population  we  can  distribute  power  to 
the  vast  West. 

8.  Recovery  from  our  low  grade  ores  and  wastes 
from  mines. 

9.  Electric  smelting  of  our  iron  ores  especially 


in  Central  Canada  by  means  of  water  power,  at  very 
low  costs. 

10.  Continued  intensive  exploration,  reconnais- 
sance, appraisal  and  research  on  our  national  re- 
sources.    What   more  can  we  learn   for  instance 
about  the  possibilities  of:    oil  in  the  great  North- 
west, copper  and  gold  in  the  central  North,  dia- 
monds in  the  clay  of  Northern  Ontario,  iron  in 
Labrador? 

11.  Construction  and  surfacing  of  our  highways 
which  will  stand  up  under  extreme  traffic  with  our 
winter  conditions. 

12.  The  protection  of  concrete  structures  from 
attack  by  the  alkali  waters  in  the  Western  pro- 
vinces. 

13.  Electric  motor  cars  with  light  weight  inex- 
pensive storage  batteries  capable  of  operating  over 
long  distances. 

14.  The  construction  and  operation  of  aeroplanes 
for  very  cold  winter  conditions. 

15.  The  manufacture  of  motor  fuels,  as  substi- 
tutes for  gasoline,  from  agricultural  products,  such 
as  wood,  corn  and  potatoes. 

16.  The    development    of    apparatus    for    using 
electricity  for  heating  and  heat  processes  in  the 
manufactures  (based  on  very  cheap  power). 

17.  Development  of  uses  for  our  very  large  nickel 
resources,  as  an  essentially  Canadian  metal. 

18.  The  production  of  nitrogen  and  its  compounds 
from  the  air  by  electric  processes  with  water  power, 
to   make   Canada  independent,  especially  for  re- 
fertilizing  our  Western  agricultural  areas. 

These  are  some  of  the  things  which  we  must  set 
ourselves  to  solve  as  a  nation  of  energetic,  alert 
people  and  it  is  clear  that  engineering  plays  a  most 
important  part  and  must  take  its  active  responsi- 
bility in  their  solution. 

It  is  out  national  duty  at  this  time  to  look  with 
cheerfulness  on  the  future  and  to  attack  these 
problems  with  the  best  possible  combination  of  our 
human  and  material  resources.

VARSITY  OUT  OF  ALLAN  CUP  SERIES 

Although  they  have  gone  down  to  defeat  in  the 
Senior  O.H.A.  series,  thereby  losing  the  Allan  Cup, 
the  Varsity  Hockey  team  hold  the  championship 
of  the  Intercollegiate  Union  series,  which  they  have 
won  without  suffering  a  defeat.  In  this  way  they 
have  eliminated  the  chance  of  either  McGill  or 
Queen's  being  runners-up  for  the  Allan  Cup.  That 
Varsity  spirit  never  dies  was  shown  by  the  fact  that 
Varsity  won  her  last  two  games  in  the  O.H.A.  series, 
although  she,  herself  was  definitely  out  of  the  race. 

SWIMMING  CHAMPIONSHIP  TO 
TORONTO 

Varsity  holds  the  Intercollegiate  Championship 
in  swimming  as  a  result  of  defeating  the  McGill 
team  37-31  at  the  meet  in  Montreal.  The  teams 
were  neck  and  neck  until  the  last  event,  the  relay 
race,  which  was  so  close  that  only  the  judges  could 
decide  the  winner.  Additional  interest  %as  added 
to  the  meet  by  the  fact  that  three  intercollegiate 
records  were  smashed,  two  of  them  by  Varsity. 
In  the  long  plunge,  Wladron  of  Varsity  made  the 
fine  distance  of  71  feet  3  inches,  which  is  also  a  new 
Canadian  record.

LADY  HOCK.EYISTS   WIN   FROM  McGILL 

Women's  Intercollegiate  Hockey  is  an  established 
thing.  The  Varsity  women  established  a  precedent 
at  the  University  of  Toronto  when  they  played 
McGill  in  Toronto  on  February  24,  at  the  Arena. 
Varsity  put  up  a  fine  game  and  the  women  proved 
that  they  can  be  trusted  to  defend  the  honour  of 
their  College  quite  as  well  as  the  men,  by  defeating 
their  opponents  4-0.  The  natty  uniforms  of  the 
McGill  team  as  well  as  their,  good  playing  won  the 
cheers  of  the  4,000  spectators  but  they  failed  to 
break  through  Varsity's  staunch  defence  and  score 
a  tally.  A  number  of  McGill  and  Queen's  sup- 
porters were  on  hand  and  rooted  vigorously.  A 
comedy  interlude  between  the  first  and  second 
period  was  an  exhibition  game  put  on  by  strangely 
bedenizened  and  beskirted  figures,  chiefly  from 
Meds  and  School,  of  "Women's  Hockey  as  it  used 
to  be".  Suffice  it  to  say  that  Women's  Hockey  as 
it  is  to-day,  although  it  has  lost  some  of  the  comic 
flavour  makes  up  for  it  by  the  real  thrills  and  the 
interest  that  it  arouses. 


PROFESSOR  "TOMMY"  LOUDON,  Rowing  Club  Coach. 

ROWING 

BY  GORDON  HOGARTH 

Rowing,  the  most  recent  addition  to  the  Univer- 
sity of  Toronto  athletics,  possesses  great  possi- 
bilities for  furtherance  of  international  competition 
in  a  way  hitherto  untouched  by  Canadian  univer- 
sities, for  a  contest  between  a  Canadian  university 
eight-oared  crew  and  a  crew  representing  another 
country  has  yet  to  be  witnessed.  Professor  T.  R. 
Loudon,  honorary  coach  of  the  U.  of  T.  rowing 
association,  took  the  first  step  in  this  direction 
when  he  extended,  through  Principal  Macdonald 
of  St.  Andrew's  College,  an  invitation  to  Oxford 
and  Cambridge  universities  to  have  a  composite 
crew  representing  the  two  universities  meet  the 


Toronto  senior  eight  in  a  match  race  during  Exhi- 
bition in  August  or  September.  It  is  hoped  that 
a  crew  representing  one  of  the  American  universities 
will  also  contest  this  race,  and  thus,  for  the  first 
time  in  the  history  of  rowing,  provide  a  contest 
between  England,  America,  and  Canada. 

While  rowing  at  the  University  may  be  said 
to  be  only  commencing,  yet,  under  the  coaching 
of  Professor  Loudon,  University  oarsmen  last  year 
won  the  senior  and  junior  eight-oared  champion- 
ship of  Canada,  and  the  intermediate  National 
Regatta  championship  of  America.  They  came 
very  close  to  capturing  the  senior  National  Regatta 
championship  of  America.  The  140  pound  eight 
were  beaten  in  their  race  at  the  Canadian  Henley, 
after  an  excellent  showing,  and  the  crew  of  the 
Lachine  Boat  Club  of  Montreal  which  they  de- 
feated, won  the  special  event  for  this  class  on  the 
following  day. 

The  senior  crew  developed  into  one  of  the  finest 
eights  ever  seen  in  Canada.  In  1920,  this  crew  car- 
ried off  the  junior  and  senior  eight-oared  events 
at  the  Canadian  Henley,  and  with  one  or  two 
exceptions  again  won  the  Hanlan  Memorial  trophy 
in  the  senior  event  last  year. 

In  the  senior  event  at  the  National  Regatta  at 
Buffalo,  they  were  beaten  two  feet  by  the  Duluth 
Boat  Club  crew  and  rowed  a  masterly  race.  Choppy 
water,  a  poor  position  on  a  bad  course  helped  to 
prevent  them  winning  the  event,  although  Coach 
Loudon  and  the  crew  offered  no  excuses  for  their 
loss. 

The  keenest  rivalry  existed  between  these  two 
crews  in  training,  although  the  senior  boat  un- 
doubtedly was  the  more  finished  and  faster  of 
the  two,  and  the  intermediate  boat  averaged  five 
pounds  a  man  heavier  than  the  seniors.  Com- 
mencing the  year,  the  intermediates  were  absolutely 
new  to  rowing,  and  their  first  few  trials  in  a  shell 
boat  were  difficult,  yet  they  developed  rapidly 
and  fought  hard  in  an  effort  to  beat  the  more  ex- 
perienced senior  crew.  Their  victory  in  the  junior 
event  at  the  Canadian  Henley  was  anticipated,  but 
in  the  senior  race,  only  those  who  had  watched 
them  at  work  knew  how  closely  they  would  finish 
to  the  senior  crew.  The  finish  saw  the  seniors 
first,  with  the  juniors  about  two  lengths  of  open 
water  behind  in  second  place,  a  very  good  showing 
for  a  green  crew.  Coach  Loudon  was  able  to  take 
them  to  Buffalo,  where  they  again  proved  their 
speed  and  won  the  intermediate  race. 

The  showing  of  these  two  eights  startled  rowing 
circles  but  convinced  every  one  that  victories  may 
be  expected  of  the  University  of  Toronto. 

The  University  is  particularly  fortunate  in 
having  the  services  as  coach  of  Professor  Loudon, 
one  of  the  oldest  members  of  the  Argonaut  Rowing 
Club,  where  h,e  learned  rowing  and  as  coxwain, 
piloted  many  Argonaut  crews  to  victory.  His 
early  days  as  coxwain  were  in  crews  stroked  by 
Joe  Wright,  now  coach  of  the  University  of  Pennsyl- 
vania crews,  probably  the  greatest  oarsman  ever 
produced  in  Canada,  and  whose  crews  hold  many 
American  and  Canadian  records.  A  story  is  related 
of  an  incident  that  happened  some  years  back, 
when  Professor  Loudon  was  coxwain  of  an  Argo 
crew  stroked  by  Wright  that  had  won  an  important 
event  in  Philadelphia.  Professor  Loudon  had 
unstintingly,  verbally  flayed  Wright  and  the  other 
men  of  the  crew  throughout  the  race,  but  drove 
them  to  victory.  After  the  boat  crossed  the  finish 


UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO  MONTHLY 


265 


line,  Wright  picked  Coxwain  Loudon  from  the 
,  boat  and  dropped  him  into  the  Schuylkill  river. 
Consequently,  the  contests  between  the  Argonaut 
crews,  coached  by  Wright  and  those  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  Toronto,  coached  by  Loudon,  last  year 
were  watched  with  interest. 

Professor  Loudon's  last  victorious  Argonaut 
crew  was  the  junior  boat  of  1914  which  won  the 
junior  event  at  the  Canadian  Henley  and  competed 
in  the  People's  Regatta  at  Philadelphia,  where,  at 
the  finish  of  the  race,  news  of  the  outbreak  of  war 
was  received. 

It  is  hoped  that  the  University  will  now  extend 


their  activities  to  four-oared  crews,  doubles  and 
sculling  but  the  cost  and  maintenance  of  shell-boats, 
and  the  equipping  of  a  suitable  rowing  quarters  on 
the  bay  or  lake  front,  have  to  be  seriously  considered. 

Suitable  material  for  oarsmen  and  scullers  abounds 
throughout  the  University.  In  an  effort  to  unearth 
it  Professor  Loudon  at  the  opening  of  the  term  had 
the  faculties  polled  and  a  report  made  on  every 
man  over  six  feet  in  height. 

It  brought  out  an  excellent  number  of  candidates 
for  the  junior  boat  who  are  now  learning  the  early 
stages  of  the  game  on  the  rowing  machines  in  Hart 
House.

MONTREAL  ALUMNI  ENTERTAIN  VARSITY 
ATHLETES 

Montreal  alumni  took  advantage  of  the  occasion 
of  the  McGill-Varsity  hockey  match,  swimming 
meet  polo  and  basket  bal'l  games  on  Friday  and 


Saturday  February  17  and  18  to  show  their 
interest  in  the  University's  athletics,  and  to  get 
together.  While  the  hours  for  the  various  games, 
and  the  departure  from  the  city  on  Friday  night 
of  the  hockey  team,  made  it  impossible  for  a  general 
measure  of  support  to  be  shown,  there  was  at  least 
a  good  turn-out  at  the  hockey  game,  and  following 
the  polo  game  on  Saturday  night,  members  of  the 
teams  then  in  the  city,  joined  the  smoker  at  the 
Ritz  and  were  received  with  the  greatest  pleasure 
on  the  part  of  the  Montreal  men. 

Rev  Dr  R.  W.  Dickie,  chairman  of  the  Montreal 
Branch,  presided,  and  in  the  course  of  an  informal 
and  thoroughly  enjoyable  evening,  short  addresses 
were  made  by  Dr  Lang,  U.C.  '88,  dean  of  the  Faculty 
of  Arts,  McGill,  Dr  Percival  J.  lllsley,  Muc.  Bac. 
'93,  Col.  J.  J.  Creelman,  U.C.  '04,  Walter  J.  Francis, 
Sci.  '93,  and  others.  Howard  Fairlie,  Sci.  '10, 
gave  some  interesting  readings  from  poems  by  the 
late  Dr  Ellis,  beloved  of  all  "School"  men. 

On  behalf  of  the  University  Amateur  Athletic 
Association  of  Montreal,  Frank  McGill,  the  noted 
swimmer,  invited  the  co-operation  of  Varsity  men. 

Professor  C.  H.  Carruthers,  U.C.  '12,  played  for 
the  singing  of  a  number  of  college  and  popular 
songs,  and  delightful  parodies,  of  his  own  com- 
position, which  were  sung  with  enthusiasm. 

F.  Wood,  captain  of  the  water  polo  team,  re- 
sponded to  the  congratulations  of  the  Montreal 
members  for  the  showing  which  the  swimmers  had 
made,  and  spoke  with  confidence  of  the  outcome 
of  the  home-and-home  games  in  water  polo. 

VICTORIA    AND     UNIVERSITY     COLLEGE 
WOMEN  ENJOY  JOINT  MEETING 

A  large  and  interested  audience  filled  the  drawing 
room  of  Argyll  House  on  January  19,  when  Mrs 
Pankhurst  addressed  a  joint  meeting  of  the  Uni- 
versity College  Alumnae  Association  and  the 
Alumnae  Association  of  Victoria  College.  During 
the  social  hour  which  followed,  the  graduates  of 
the  sister  colleges  had  an  opportunity  to  renew  old 
acquaintances  and  to  meet  the  speaker  of  the 
evening.  ^ 

Quite  an  innovation  was  introduced  into  the 
University  College  Alumnae  Association  this  year 
when  the  social  evening  took  the  form  of  a  Bridge 
party  for  the  members  and  their  friends,  the 
Executive  justifying  such  frivolity  on  the  grounds 
that  card  playing  really  does  demand  such  intelli- 
gence as  the  university  graduate  possesses.

COAST  ENGINEERS  HOLD  ANNUAL  DINNER 
The  Pacific  Coast  Branch  of  the  Engineering 
Alumni  Association  held  its  fifth  annual  dinner  at 
the  University  Club  in  Vancouver  on  January^S. 
Thirty  "School"  men  from  different  parts  of  British 
Columbia  were  present. 

W.  J.  (Ginnes)  Johnston  was  toastmaster  and  a 
great  deal  of  the  success  of  the  event  was  due  to 
his  hard  work  in  making  preparations. 

Addresses,  chiefly  reminiscent  of  undergraduate 
days  at  the  "School",  were  made  by  J.  H.  Kennedy, 
'82,  J.  P.  Stirrett,  W.  G.  Swan,  '06,  and  others. 
A  very  decorative  menu  card  was  prepared  for 
the  occasion  and  also  some  songs  to  be  sung  to 
old  College  tunes.

Accumulative  Bonds 

are  a  medium  of  investment 
especially  attractive  to  those  having 
a  sum  of  money  on  which  they  are 
prepared  to  allow  the  interest  to 
accumulate.  We  issue  these  Bonds 
for  $100,  or  any  multiple  thereof. 
They  bear  interest  at  5J^  per  cent, 
per  annum,  COMPOUNDED  HALF- 
YEARLY,  and  the  following  table 
shows  the  amounts  required  to  pur- 
chase Bonds  for  specified  sums  pay- 
able at  the  end  of  five  years: — • 

$76.24  will  purchase  a  Bond 

for $100

for..... 200 

$381.20  will  purchase  a  Bond

for....... 1,000 

Money  invested  to  return  simple 
interest  at  5>£  per  cent,  per  annum, 
payable  half-yearly,  will  double  itself 
in  a  little  over  18  years,  whereas  if 
invested  to  return  the  same  rate 
compounded  half-yearly  it  will  double 
itself  in  less  than  13  years. 

We  particularly  recommend  these 
Bonds  to  those  not  in  need  of  an 
immediate  return  on  their  investment 
or  to  any  one  wishing  to  provide  an 
amount  for  a  specific  purpose  at  some 
future  date.

MR.    DYMENT'S   OFFICE 


February  10,  1922 


My  dear  MacQueen: 


My  compliments  on  the  February  number of  The 
University  Monthly,  which  is  distinctly  the  best 
number  I  have  seen  in  years* 


Eugene,  Oregon 


Sincerely,

If  THE  MONTHLY  has  improved,  its  improvement  is  due  to  the 
disinterested  action  of  the  alumni  who  pay  their  fees.  Increased 
circulation  involves  benefits  all  round — more  money  from  advertis- 
ing, more  money  from  subscriptions,  greater  ease  in  securing  worth- 
while editorial  contributions. 

The  growth  in  membership  has  recently  been  very  satisfactory. 
Four  years  has  witnessed  an  increase  from  590  to  over  2,400 — this 
despite  the  fact  that  the  fee  has  been  raised  from  $1  to  $3. 

But  2,400  is  only  a  small  percentage  of  the  total  alumni  body. 
To  approach  the  standards  of  American  universities,  our  member- 
ship must  be  doubled. 

You  who  appreciate  THE  MONTHLY  and  believe  in  the  useful- 
ness of  the  Alumni  Federation,  will  you  not  speak  to  some  non- 
member  alumnus  friend  and  secure  his  signature  for  the  blank  on*

scheme  of  re-organization  which  has  been 
going  on  here  for  the  past  two  or  three 
years,"  he  said,  "and  my  experience  here 
is  what  Edinburgh  looks  to,  to  give  an 
impetus  to  the  work  there  and  to  introduce 
the  new  methods  which  we  have  had  an 
opportunity  of  trying  here." 

The  Department  of  Mechanical  Engin- 
eering recently  conducted  a  special  con- 
ference on  water  power 
Conference  development  in  order  to 
on  Water  supplement  the  regular 

Power  courses  and  to  give  practis- 

Development  ing  engineers  an  oppor- 
Held  tunity  of  coming  in  contact 

with  the  leaders  in  hy- 
draulic work.  Lectures  were  given  by 
Mr  Lewis  Moody,  consulting  engineer  of 
Philadelphia;  Mr  W.  M.  White,  of  the 
Allis  Chalmers  Co.,  Milwaukee;  Mr  Max 
V.  Sauer  and  Mr  T.  H.  Hogg,  of  the 
Ontario  Hydro-Electric  Power  commission 
engineering  staff;  and  Mr  N.  R.  Gibson 
hydraulic  engineer  for  the  Niagara  Falls 
Power  Commission.  Design  and  control  of 
hydraulic  turbines,  power  house  design  and 
construction,  intakes  and  surge  tanks,  the 
testing  of  power  house  machinery,  and  the 
economic  features  of  water  power  develop- 
ment were  among  the  subjects  discussed. 

Those  who  attended  the  lectures,  both 
engineers  and  students,  were  highly  pleased 
with  the  series. 


It  is  significant  that  while  the  majority 
of   the   recommendations   of   the    Geddes 
Committee     on     National 
Educational     Economy  were  hailed  with 
Economy  general    approval    by    the 

Not  Popular  press  and  people  of  Great 
in  England  Britain,  the  recommenda- 
tions regarding  cuts  in 
educational  expenditure  raised  a  veritable 
storm  of  opposition.  Army,  navy  and 
civil  service  cuts  were  opposed  by  small 
sections  of  the  community  but  educational 
cuts  were  universally  condemned.  The 
loss  of  two  bye-elections  by  the  Govern- 
ment were  in  some  quarters  credited  to  the 
educational  recommendations. 

•  The  Geddes  Committee  recommended 
steps  designed  to  effect  in  educational 
expenditures,  a  saving  of  £18,100,000  out 
of  a  total  of  ,£82,500,000  spent  the  previous 
year  by  the  Government  and  local  bodies. 
Reduction  of  salaries,  exclusion  of  children 
under  six  years  of  age,  the  closing  of  small 
schools  and  the  formation  of  larger  teaching 
classes  were  among  the  methods  proposed. 
The  Government,  whether  because  of  the 
popular,  agitation  or  not,  did  not  accept 
these  recommendations.  The  cut  of 

£18,000,000  was  abandoned  for  £6,500,000, 
and  later  £5,500,000  was  taken  as  the 
saving  to  be  effected.  Nearly  one-half  of 
this  will  be  secured  through  requiring 
teachers  to  contribute  five  per  cent,  of 
their  salaries  to  their  pension  fund  and 
the  remainder  by  a  closer  scrutiny  of 
general  expenditures.  Grants  to  univer- 
sities will  remain  unchanged. 

Critics  of  the  Geddes  proposals  regarded 
them  as  entirely  reactionary  and  claimed 
that  if  they  were  put  into  effect  the 
educational  development  of  Great  Britain 
would  be  put  back  at  least  a  decade. 
Starvation  would  stop  all  progress  and 
clog  the  mechanism  of  the  entire  educa- 
tional system  of  the  country.  * 

Education  is  undoubtedly  a  dangerous 
thing  upon  which  to  exercise  economy. 
Unless  it  grows  it  becomes  spiritless  and

inanimate  and,  as  is  shown  many  times  in 
history,  an  unprogressive  system  of  edu- 
cation means  an  unprogressive  state. 

During  the  first  week  of  March  the 
returned  soldier-students  in  receipt  of  loans 
from  the  Memorial  Fund 
Employment  were  informed  that  the 
Work  Again  Federation  was  prepared 
Undertaken  to  assist  them  in  securing 
summer  work.  Announce- 
ment was  also  made  to  the  general  student 
body  that  the  Alumni  Secretary  would  be 
glad  to  interview  all  seekers  after  work, 
although  in  many  cases  advice  would  be 
all  he  would  have  to  offer.  Since  these 
announcements  have  been  made  the 
Alumni  Office  has  been  a  popular  student 
resort. 

In  the  neighbourhood  of  one  hundred 
and  seventy-five  positions  have  been  secur- 
ed, chiefly  on  the  lake  boats  and  in  offices 
in  Toronto,  where  extra  clerks  are  em- 
ployed for  the  summer.  It  is  a  striking 
fact  that  at  least  seventy-five  per  cent, 
of  these  openings  were  secured  as  a  direct 
result  of  the  activities  carried  on  by  the 
Federation  during  the  past  two  years, 
without  which  they  would  not  have  been 
available  for  any  students.  This  is  an 
indication  of  the  service  which  an  employ- 
ment office  might  render.  The  opinion  is 
often  expressed  that  the  best  way  for 
students  and  graduates  to  secure  jobs  is  to 
"get  out  and  hustle  for  them".  To  a 
certain  extent  this  is  true,  but  on  the  other 
hand  the  service  which  an  Employment 
Bureau  might  render  in  impressing  upon 
employers  the  advisability  of  using  uni- 
versity-trained men  and  women  is  in- 
estimable. A  bureau  would  open  up  to 
graduates  and  undergraduates  avenues  of 
employment  and  of  service  which  hereto- 
fore have  been  closed. 

Alumni,  who  know  of  openings  suitable 
for  graduates  or  undergraduates,  should 
commun*'  ate  w'th  the  Alumni  Federation 
Office,  184  College  Street,  Tel.  College  5032. 

The  John  H.  Moss  Memorial  Award, 
the  endowment  for  which  was  raised  as 

part  of  the  Memorial  Fund, 
The  MOSS  has  been  awarded  for  1922 
Memorial  to  F.  L.  Hutchison,  of 
Award  University  College.  The 

Award  is  of  the  value  of 
$300,  and  is  made  to  one  of  four  candidates 
eelcted  as  the  best  all  round  man  or  woman 


in  the  year  by  the  graduating  classes  in 
each  of  the  Arts  Colleges.  The  Committee 
of  Award  for  the  year  was:  President 
Falconer,  Mr  Justice  Masten,  Mr  Hume 
Blake,  Mr  C.  S.  Maclnnes,  and  Mr  S.  T. 
Blackwood. 

Mr  Hutchison  has  occupied  a  very 
prominent  position  in  undergraduate  life 
during  his  course.  He  has  been  president 
of  the  U.C.  Literary  and  Athletic  Society, 
vice-r  resident  of  the  Students'  Admin- 
istrative Council,  and  clerk  of  the  Students' 
Court,  and  is  permanent  president  of  the 
1922  U.C.  class.  He  has  an  enviable  war 
record,  having  enlisted  as  soon  as  he 
reached  the  required  age,  and  served  with 
distinction  with  the  Royal  Naval  Air 
Service.  He  entered  the  University  with 
an  Edward  Blake  Scholarship  and  has 
taken  a  good  standing  in  the  Honour 
Chemistry  course.  He  expects  to  take 
post  graduate  work  next  year. 


A  WOMEN'S  VOCATIONAL  CONFERENCE 
was  held  under  the  auspices  of  the  Women 
Students'  Administrative  Council  on  Mon- 
day, March  13,  in  the  Physics  Building. 
The  general  idea  of  the  conference  as 
described  by  Miss  Skinner  of  Victoria 
College,  who  presided,  was  to  discuss 
openings  for  College  women  in  the  business 
world.  Miss  Jane  Thomas,  of  Jarvis 
Collegiate  Institute,  spoke  on  "  Education  " 
and  Miss  White,  of  the  Canadian  Farmer, 
discussed  "Journalism".  The  openings  in 
the  various  branches  of  Social  Service  were 
considered  by  Professor  Dale,  of  the  Social 
Service  Department. 


STRIKING  EVIDENCE  OF  Varsity's 
athletic  prowess  is  found  in  the  champion- 
ship cups  and  shields  which  are  now  dis- 
played in  glass  cases  on  the  landings  in 
Hart  House.  Among  the  most  prominent 
are  the  Intermediate  International  Rowing 
Cup,  the  Canadian  Senior  Challenge  Cup, 
the  Allan  Cup,  and  the  Intercollegiate 
Hockey  Cup.  -There  are  over  twenty  cups 
and  shields  in  all  displayed. 

Out  of  ten  intercollegiate  championships 
in  major  sports  Varsity  this  year  won  six — 
football,  soccer,  hockey,  swimming,  assault- 
at-arms,  and  harrier.  Thirty-eight  men 
were  given  their  colours.

MR  J.  MURRAY  GIBBON,  general  pub- 
licity agent  of  the  C. P. R.,  recently  arranged 
the  taking  of  a  series  of  motion  pictures 
of  Hart  House  and  the  University  build- 
ings. Among  the  pictures  taken  were  the 
Great  Hall  with  some  250  students  at 
lunch,  the  gymnasium  floor  with  a  class  at 
work,  the  swimming  pool,  the  Hart  House 
Theatre  with  a  play  in  rehearsal,  views 
from  the  Tower  of  the  Main  Building,  and 
views  of  the  various  buildings. 

The  pictures  will  be  given  wide  dis- 
tribution in  Great  Britain,  the  United 
States,  and  Western  Canada. 


TO    AN    EVER    INCREASING    EXTENT    the 

graduates  are  making  use  of  the  Univer- 
sity Library.  The  privilege  of  borrowing 
books  from  the  Library  is  open  to  all 
graduates  on  the  payment  of  a  nominal 
deposit  which  is  held  against  the  return 
of  the  books  borrowed.  Out-of-town 
graduates  have  the  same  privileges  as 
those  resident  in  Toronto  with  the  differ- 
ence that  the  cost  of  postage  must  be 
borne  by  the  borrower. 

The  University  Library  now  has  in  its 
stacks,  170,000  bound  volumes  and  some 
55,000  pamphlets,  covering  all  phases  of 
learning. 

DR  STANLEY  RYERSON,  Secretary  of  the 
Faculty  of  Medicine,  has  published  a 
pamphlet  entitled  The  Process  of  Study,  in 
which  he  offers  advice  to  students  on 
methods  of  study.  He  emphasizes  the 
value  of  studying  with  a  purpose,  of  con- 
centrating the  attention  on  the  subject  in 
hand,  and  of  working  systematically. 

Dr  Ryerson  has  been  adviser  to  the 
students  of  first  year  Medicine  and  in  the 
course  of  his  interviews  with  them  has 
been  much  impressed  with  the  faulty, 
indefinite  methods  of  study  which  were 
employed. 


PROFESSOR  J.  G.  FITZGERALD,  director  of

Bacteriology  and  Experimental  Pathology 
in  the  University  of  California  for  the 
coming  year  during  the  absence  of  the 
regular  professor  of  the  department,  who 
has  been  called  to  Washington  on  special 
duty.  The  appointment  is  considered  a 
high  compliment  to  Dr  Fitzgerald  and  the 
University. 


PROFESSOR  F.  C.  A.  JEANNERET  repre- 
sented and  purchased  a  number  of  volumes

the  library  of  Louis  Papineau,  which  was 
held  at  Papineau's  old  home  at  Montabello, 
P.Q.,  early  in  March.  Some  6,000  volumes 
were  sold.  Many  of  them,  collected  by 
Papineau  in  Paris  during  his  seven  years' 
exile,  were  of  great  historical  value. 


THE  UNIVERSITY  COLLEGE  CLA  ss  OF  1922

The  Epigrapher 

By  E.  J.  Pratt 

His  head  was  like  his  lore — antique, 
His  face  was  thin  and  sallow-sick, 
With  god-like  accent  he  could  speak 
Of  Egypt's  reeds  or  Babylon's  brick 
Or  sheep-skin  codes  in  Arabic. 

To  justify  the  ways  Divine, 

He  had  travelled  Southern  Asia  through— 

Gezir  down  in  Palestine, 

Lagash,  Ur  and  Eridu, 

The  banks  of  Nile  and  Tigris  too. 

And  every  occult  Hebrew  tale 
He  could  expound  with  learned  ease, 
From  Aaron's  rod  to  Jonah's  whale. 
He  had  held  the  skull  of  Rameses — 
The  one  who  died  from  boils  and  fleas. 

Could  tell  how — saving  Israel's  peace—- 
The mighty  Gabriel  of  the  Lord 
Put  sand  within  the  axle-grease 
Of  Pharoah's  chariots;  and  his  horde 
O'erwhelmed  with  water,  fire  and  sword. 

And  he  had  tried  Behistun  Rock, 
That  Persian  peak,  and  nearly  clomb  it; 
His  head  had  suffered  from  the  shock 
Of  somersaulting  from  its  summit— 
Nor  had  he  quite  recovered  from  it. 

From  that  time  onward  to  the  end, 
His  mind  had  had  a  touch  of  gloom; 
His  hours,  with  jars  and  coins,  he'd  spend, 
And  ashes  looted  from  a  tomb, — 
Within  his  spare  and  narrow  room. 

His  day's  work  done,  with  the  last  rune 
Of  a  Hammurabi  fragment  read, 
He  took  some  water  spiced  with  prune 
And  soda,  which  imbibed,  he  said 
A  Syrian  prayer  and  went  to  bed. 

And  thus  he  trod  life's  narrow  way,— 
His  soul  as  peaceful  as  a  river — 
His  understanding  heart  all  day 
Kept  faithful  to  a  stagnant  liver. 

L' ENVOI 

When  at  last  his  stomach  went  by  default, 
His  graduate  students  bore  him  afar 
To  the  East  where  the  Dead  Sea  waters  are, 
And  pickled  his  bones  in  Eternal  Salt. 


Preserving  the  Health  of  the  Student  Body 

By  GEORGE  D.  PORTER,  DIRECTOR  OF  THE  UNIVERSITY  HEALTH  SERVICE 


University  Health  Service  aims  at 
I  promoting  the  health  and  physical 
fitness  of  the  students.  Its  first  con- 
tact with  the  students  is  in  the  physical 
examinations  given  them,  for  only  after 
a  careful  examination  can  a  proper  esti- 
mate of  their  fitness  for  physical  training 
be  made,  and  so  each  one  is  classified  and 
if  necessary  re-examined  and  re-classified, 
by  specialists.  Students  are  also  advised 
in  regard  to  their  defects  and  in  health 
matters  generally,  and  supervised  in  their 
physical  training  during  the  term.  The 
Service  also  endeavours  to  control  any 
infectious  diseases  which  may  arise  from 
time  to  time  among  the  student  body,  and 
lectures  are  given  upon  the  principles  of 
personal  hygiene. 

As  physical  training  is  made  compulsory 
only  for  the  students'  benefit  it  is  but 
reasonable  that  he  should  receive  proper 
medical  examination  so  that  he  may  take 
the  form  and  amount  of  exercise  which 
will  best  suit  his  needs.  For  this  purpose 
a  staff  of  eight  physicians  chosen  by  the 
Professor  of  Medicine,  and  a  staff  of  as 
many  specialists,  have  examined  the  first 
.two  years'  students,  and  also  the  Univer- 
sity Athletic  Teams,  very  carefully.  This 
year  1450  were  examined  and  288  were 
called  up  for  re-examination  by  specialists. 

The  results  of  these  examinations  are 
most  gratifying  as  regards  the  general 
health  standard  of  our  students,  as  it  has 
been  found  that  practically  96  J^%  are  able 
to  take  physical  training,  and  also  that 
those  showing  any  evidence  of  diseases 
whose  presence  are  generally  traceable  to 
immorality  (venereal  diseases)  are  less  than 

1A  of  1%. 

On  the  other  hand  we  have  found  some 
serious  disabilities  such  as  heart  lesions, 
chest,  kidney  and  surgical  diseases  among 
the  3}/2%  not  able  to  take  gymnasium 
work.  While  we  are  not  treating  any  of 
these  fifty  students  in  a  medical  or  surgical 
way,  they  have  our  advice  and  counsel,  and 
we  desire  the  co-operation  of  their  own 
physicians  in  seeing  that  they  are  pro- 
perly looked  after. 

Then  there  are  10%  of  the  remainder 
(146  students)  who  while  able  to  take 
physical  training  have  some  disability  re- 
quiring a  more  careful  form  of  corrective 


exercise  and  supervision  under  the  Physical 
Director.     Naturally  students  are  graded 
upwards  and  downwards  as  any  changes 
in  their  physical  condition  is  noted  during 
the   term.     The  desirability  of  changing 
courses  of  study  owing  to  disabilities  has 
also  been  discussed  with  a  few  students 
to  their  advantage.     Students  with  faulty 
vision,   diseased   tonsils,   bad   teeth,   etc., 
are  advised  to  consult  their  physicians  or 
dentists  for  their  correction  and  treatment. 
Summarizing  then  we  find  that  among 
the  1450  students  examined  there  were: 
Physically  fit  and  able  to  take  all 
gymnasium  work  ........... 

Men  with  some  disability  requiring 

supervised  exercises  .........    10% 

Physically  unfit  (some  temporarily 
and  a  few  permanently)  and 
exempt  from  all  gymnasium 
work  ...................... 


Lectures  on  personal  hygiene  have  also 
been  delivered  to  first  and  second  year 
students  in  all  faculties.  While  the  Health 
Service  does  not  assume  the  responsibility 
of  caring  for  the  sick,  it  should  be  one  of 
its  functions  to  see  that  any  student 
who  may  be  ill  is  properly  looked  after  by 
his  own  or  some  responsible  physician. 
Already  the  Service  has  been  able  to  help 
a  number  of  students  in  this  regard  and 
as  the  co-operation  of  all  the  different 
House  authorities  and  the  Athletic  Direc- 
torate has  been  so  hearty  and  spontaneous 
this  year,  we  can  only  hope  for  an  increased 
all  round  efficiency  as  time  goes  on.  The 
funds  for  the  Service  (for  the  first  two 
years)  have  been  furnished  by  the  Con- 
naught  Antitoxin  Laboratories,  and  par- 
ticulars regarding  medical  findings  will  be 
tabulated  later  on  as  a  demonstration  of 
health  conditions  in  our  student  body. 

The  University  has  also  appointed  a 
very  capable  woman  physician,  Dr  Edith 
Gordon,  who  is  examining  and  advising 
the  women  students.  As  physical  training 
is  not  at  present  compulsory  among  the 
women  students  this  examination  is  not 
compulsory,  but  that  it  is  mucfe  appreci- 
ated is  evidenced  by  the  fact  that  over 
five  hundred  have  already  taken  their 
physical  examinations,  and  many  others 
have  sought  her  advice.

Working  Their  Way  Through 

TOM  SMITH  AT  YALE  AND  BILL  JONES  AT  TORONTO 


When  Tom  Smith  was  in  his  final  year 
at  the  Newton,  N.Y.,  High  School  he 
decided  that  he  wanted  to  go  to  Yale. 
His  great  problem  was  financial,  as  his 
family  was  not  in  a  position  to  help  him. 
The  story  of  how  he  worked  his  way 
through  the  University  is  told  in  the  Yale 
Alumni  Weekly. 

Not  being  familiar  with  the  conditions 
at  Yale,  he  wrote  asking  for  information 
and  received  a  booklet  entitled  "  Student 
Self-Support  at  Yale"  and  a  letter  from 
the  Director  of  the  Bureau  of  Appoint- 
ments giving  full  data  regarding  expenses 
and  the  amount  of  money  which  he  might 
expect  to  earn  during  the  course.  So  Tom 
decided  to  attempt  it.  He  managed  to 
save  about  two  hundred  dollars  during  the 
summer  and  with  this  amount  in  his 
pocket  went  down  to  Yale.  On  arrival  he 
sought  out  the  Bureau  of  Appointments, 
had  a  talk  with  the  Director,  and  regis- 
tered. He  was  given  a  card  which  enabled 
him  to  secure  the  required  text  books  on 
loan  and  was  referred  to  a  student  boarding 
house  where  in  return  for  serving  as  a 
waiter  he  secured  his  meals  without  charge. 
During  the  session  the  Bureau  of  Appoint- 
ments secured  for  him  many  odd  jobs 
which  brought  in  considerable  money 
without  making  too  great  inroads  on  his 
time.  He  acted  as  usher  at  the  football 
games  and  worked  at  the  Athletic  Office; 
he  tended  furnaces,  and  washed  windows; 
he  worked  in  a  store  on  Saturday  after- 
noons and  as  a  mail  clerk  during  the 
Christmas  vacation;  he  found  shovelling 
snow  and  mowing  lawns  healthy  and  not 
unremunerative  pastimes.  He  earned  a 
reputation  for  willingness  and  reliability 
which  won  him  frequent  consideration  at 
the  Bureau. 

An  investigation  was  made  into  Tom's 
financial  need,  his  character,  and  his 
ability,  and  these  being  judged  entirely 
satisfactory  he  was  -granted  a  tuition 
scholarship  which  awarded  him  80%  of 
the  tuition  charge. 

In  the  spring  he  won  a  place  on  the 
freshmen  baseball  team  and  on  the  recom- 
mendation of  the  Bureau  of  Appointments 


was  given  free  board  at  the  training  table. 

As  the  vacation  approached  it  became 
evident  that  he  must  earn  a  large  sum  of 
money  during  the  summer  if  he  were  to 
get  a  good  start  in  the  autumn.  House 
to  house  canvassing  did  not  appeal  to 
him  but  he  undertook  it  and  was  able  to 
save  several  hundred  dollars. 

This  was  apparently  the  turning  point 
in  Tom's  university  career.  He  had  estab- 
lished himself  and  from  now  on  things 
were  easier.  He  organized  a  table  at  the 
eating  house  and  was  no  longer  required 
to  wait  on  tables;  he  left  the  furnaces,  the 
sidewalks,  and  the  lawns  to  newcomers. 
In  a  competition  he  secured  the  highest 
number  of  sales  (a  commission  with  each) 
of  the  Undergraduate  Calendar  and  was 
awarded  the  managership  for  the  following 
year.  He  won  a  position  on  the  tutoring 
staff  and  made  considerable  money  in  this 
way.  But  to  be  on  the  safe  side  of  the 
balance  sheet  for  his  third  year  he  went 
back  to  the  canvassing  job  for  the  vacation. 
A  fatiguing  summer  but  very  satisfactory 
from  the  money  standpoint. 

Tom's  third  year  was  a  pleasant  one. 
He  was  appointed  head  waiter  at  an 
eating  house — apparently  very  much  of  a 
sinecure.  He  made  considerable  money 
as  manager  of  the  Calendar,  and  in  the 
spring  made  the  Varsity  baseball  team 
which  gave  him  free  board. 

No  more  canvassing  for  Tom.  At  the 
end  of  the  year  he  had  money  in  the  bank 
so  through  the  Bureau  of  Appointments  he 
secured  a  position  as  tutor  and  companion 
to  a  youthful  member  of  a  wealthy  family 
and  spent  the  summer  at  Murray  Bay  and 
other  pleasurable  spots. 

Thus  Tom  came  to  his  senior  year.  He 
was  made  manager  of  his  eating  house 
which  gave  him  a  commission  as  well  as 
his  meals,  and  manager  of  the  Tutoring 
Bureau;  which  two  things  carried  him 
through  the  year.  On  his  graduation  the 
Bureau  of  Appointments  arranged  for 
Tom  to  interview  a  number  of  prospective 
employers  which  resulted  in  his  securing 
a  position  suited  to  his  abilities  and  training.

Bill  Jones  at  the  University  of  Toronto 

So  the  university  history  of  Tom  Smith. 
Bill  Jones  who  matriculated  in  the  Univer- 
sity of  Toronto^  with  a  profound  desire  to 
take  the  course  found  his  task  much  more 
difficult.  Bill  was  an  exceptional  lad  as 
was  Tom  and  possessed  of  no  less  deter- 
mination and  grit,  and  of  no  inferior 
ability,  but  the  machinery  to  assist  him 
was  lacking. 

He  wrote  to  an  undergraduate  of  his 
acquaintance  and  was  told  that  he  would 
need  about  $700  each  year,  and  that  the 
chances  of  his  earning  anything  during 
the  term  were  slim.  There  was  no  fund 
through  which  he  might  secure  his  tuition. 
So  Bill  took  a  job  as  teacher  in  the  north 
country  and  there  spent  three  years,  saving 
in  all  $1,000. 

With  this  on  hand  he  registered  in  the 
first  year  Arts.  He  lived  as  cheaply  as 
possible  preparing  many  of  his  meals  over 
the  bed-room  gas  lamp  (cooking  strictly 
forbidden)  and  picking  up  what  odd  jobs 
he  could;  but  at  the  end  of  the  session  he 
had  only  $350  left.  He,  too,  took  a  can- 
vassing position  for  the  summer  and  by 


reason  of  perseverance  earned  several 
hundred  dollars. 

At  the  end  of  the  second  year,  however, 
he  found  himself  out  of  funds.  So,  much 
against  his  will,  he  was  forced  to  remain 
out  of  the  University  for  a  year,  breaking 
the  continuity  of  his  work  and  dropping 
the  pleasant  associations  of  his  class. 

He  came  back  the  following  year  with  a 
sum  which,  with  the  aid  of  two  hundred 
dollars  borrowed  from  a  friend,  saw  him 
to  the  completion  of  the  course.  He  got  his 
parchment. 

But  Bill's  troubles  did  not  end  with  the 
admitto  te.  He  wanted  to  enter  the 
manufacturing  business  but  did  not  have 
the  entree.  He  felt  that  if  he  were  given 
a  chance  he  could  make  good  but  he  had 
no  one  to  help,  him  gain  the  necessary 
foothold.  He  interviewed  several  em- 
ployment managers  and  was  told  that 
they  had  no  openings  for  men  of  his 
training. 

Finally,  by  concealing  the  fact  that  he 
was  a  university  graduate,  he  did  get  a 
job.  Some  day  he  will  doubtless  be  manag- 
ing director  of  the  firm. 


Why  We  Need  Trained  Foresters 

Bv  C.  D.  HOWE,  DEAN  OF  THE  FACULTY  OF  FORESTRY 


I  HAVE  been  asked  briefly  to  state  what 
the  necessity  is  for  training  foresters  in 
a  country  of  such  vast  forested  areas 
as  Canada  possesses.  In  the  first  place  I 
will  say  that  there  are  forests  and  forests; 
there  are  trees  and  trees.  It  does  not 
follow  that  an  area  covered  with  forests 
is  commercially  valuable  because  of  their 
presence,  or  that  one  tree  is  as  good  as 
another  for  the  various  purposes  of  the 
market.  In  the  neighbourhood  of  seventy 
different  kinds  of  trees  have  been  used  in 
this  country  in  the  wood  and  timber  trade, 
but  a  very  few  species  contribute  the 
greater  portion  of  the  output.  About  four 
billion  feet  of  lumber  are  cut  in  Canada 
every  year.  Their  value  as  rough  lumber 
is  approximately  $122,000,000.  When 
time,  labour,  and  thought  have  been 
expended  upon  them  they  become  worth 
around  $250,000,000.  Thus  our  forests 
in  terms  of  the  manufactured  lumber 
products  increase  our  national  wealth  a 


quarter  of  a  billion  dollars  each  year. 
Over  two-thirds  of  the  above  values  are 
contributed  by  six  different  kinds  of  trees. 
The  comparatively  few  kinds  of  trees  in 
our  forests  that  are  utilized  in  large 
quantities  are  still  more  strikingly  shown 
in  the  case  of  the  pulpwood.  Of  this 
material  around  four  million  cords  are  cut 
each  year,  valued  in  the  rough  at  $45,000,- 
000,  and  from  which  pulp  and  paper 
products  are  produced  to  the  value  of  over 
$200,000,000.  More  than  ninety  per  cent, 
of  these  values  is  furnished  by  the  wood  of 
four  kinds  of  trees. 

These  few  trees  enter  so  largely  into  the 
products  of  the  forest  not  because  they  are 
plentiful  and  accessible,  but  because  they 
meet  the  market  requirements  better  than 
any  others.  Because  of  certain  inherent 
mechanical  and  physical  properties  no 
Canadian  wood,  for  example,  is  so  well 
adapted  to  such  a  variety  of  uses  as  that 
of  the  white  pine.  The  commercial  supply 


292 


UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO  MONTHLY 


of  this  species  is  fast  disappearing.  Owing 
to  this  fact,  we  are  already  using  poorer 
woods  as  substitutes — -with  little  or  no 
difference  in  price.  And  again,  no  wood 
fibre  is  so  well  adapted  for  paper  making 
as  that  of  spruce.  Notwithstanding  all 
that  has  been  said  and  done  with  regard 
to  employing  various  vegetable  fibres  as 
substitutes  for  wood-pulp,  little  has  been 
accomplished,  or  probably  ever  will  be 
accomplished,  because  of  the  quality, 
adaptability,  and  cheapness  of  production 
of  wood  fibre  and  among  wood  fibres  those 
of  spruce  stand  supreme  as  the  result  of 
certain  inherent  characteristics.  When  the 
supply  of  spruce  is  gone  we  shall  be  com- 
pelled to  use  poorer — but  not  cheaper- 
grades  of  paper. 

Let  us  hastily  examine  our  forested 
areas  from  the  standpoint  of  commercially 
valuable  trees.  In  the  first  place,  of  the 
3.5  million  square  miles  of  land  area  in 
Canada,  1.6  million  square  miles,  over 
forty  per  cent.,  are  too  cold  or  too  high  or 
too  dry  to  produce  trees  of  sufficient  size 
to  interest  lumbermen.  Around  100,000 
square  miles  should  be  deducted  for 
agricultural  lands  outside  the  grasslands 
of  the  West,  they  having  been  included 
in  the  above.  Even  with  these  deductions 
we  have  enormous  areas  covered  by 
forests,  some  1,900,000  square  miles  (over 
a  billion  acres),  and  again,  having  their 
utilization  value  in  mind,  let  us  ask: 
What  kind  of  forests;  what  kind  of  trees? 
On  at  least  500,000  square  miles  climatic 
conditions  are  such  as  to  produce  only 
trees  of  pulpwood  size,  practically  no  trees 
of  sawlog  size,  that  is,  twrelve  inches  and 
above  in  diameter. 

Destruction  of  our  forests  by  fire  has 
been  incomprehensibly  great.  The  amount 
of  saw  timber  thus  destroyed  has  been 
much  greater  than  the  amount  removed  by 
logging  or  farming  operations  since  the 
settlement  of  the  country  began,  in  fact 
probably  greater  than  all  that  has  been 
cut  in  the  past  plus  all  that  could  be  cut 
to-day.  There  is  little  doubt  that  from 
one-half  to  two-thirds  of  the  forested  area 
of  Canada,  or,  in  other  words,  around  one 
million  square  miles  (640,000,000  acres) 
have  been  burned  within  the  past  seventy- 
five  years  and  because  of  such  fires  do 
not  to-day  contain  forests  of  sawlog  size. 
This  reduces  the  areas  containing  trees  of 
sawlog  size  to  about  one  quarter  of  the 


total  forested  area,  that  is  around  500,000 
square  miles,  or  approximately  twelve  per 
cent,  of  the  land  area  of  the  country. 
If  we  had  the  population  of  the  European 
countries,  or  of  the  United  States,  this 
percentage  would  be  far  on  the  wrong  side 
of  the  factor  of  safety.  In  fact,  our 
supply  of  sawlogs  would  last  the  United 
States  at  their  present  rate  of  cutting  not 
over  fifteen  years. 

Just  a  little  more  about  forest  fires  and 
their  effect:  Much  of  this  million  square 
miles  has  been  burned  not  once  only,  but 
two,  three,  or  even  a  half  dozen  times. 
These  repeated  fires  on  the  same  area  make 
abortive  nature's  attempt  to  reclothe  the 
old  burns  with  commercially  valuable 
trees.  Whole  townships  that  once  sup- 
ported magnificent  forests  of  pine  are  now, 
because  of  repeated  burning,  covered  with 
worthless  brush  or  with  trees  of  no  market 
value.  This  forest  devastation  by  fire  is 
not  a  thing  of  the  past;  it  still  continues 
practically  unabated,  except  in  wet  seasons, 
in  some  of  the  most  valuable  forest  regions 
of  the  country.  Over  a  million  and  a  half 
acres  of  forest  fell  prey  to  the  flames  in 
Eastern  Canada  last  summer. 

Even  on  the  areas  which  have  been 
lumbered  and  have  escaped  burning,  in- 
ferior trees  usually  take  possession  after 
the  removal  of  the  valuable  pine  and 
spruce.  Nature  has  no  economic  sense. 
She  takes  no  thought  of  market  require- 
ments. She  accepts  direction,  however, 
and  it  has  been  demonstrated  over  and 
over  again  that  intelligent  direction  of 
nature's  forces  in  the  forest  while  the 
lumbering  operations  are  going  on  will 
lead  to  the  replacement  of  the  commercially 
valuable  trees. 

Under  normal  conditions  forest  trees  die 
of  disease.  Very  few  die  of  old  age. 
There  is  scarcely  a  healthy  tree  in  a 
mature  forest.  Unfortunately,  lumbering 
methods  have  been  such  as  to  increase 
rather  than  to  decrease  the  susceptibility 
of  trees  to  disease.  Periodically  there 
comes  a  combination  of  man-made  and 
nature-made  conditions  that  produces  an 
epidemic  in  the  forest.  Just  now  the 
Eastern  forests  are  being  swept  by  a  real 
scourge,  the  spruce  budworm,  which  has 
already  destroyed,  at  a  moderate  estimate, 
over  ten  years'  supply  of  pulpwood  at  the 
present  rate  of  production.  The  destruc- 
tion of  wood  material  through  such  epi-

demies,  however,  cannot  be  adequately 
measured  by  the  trees  killed  at  the  time 
because  the  after  effects  continue  for  years. 
The  weakened  trees  become  susceptible  to 
fungus  diseases  to  which  they  were  pre- 
viously resistant.  The  fungus  bodies  are 
like  cancers.  They  dissolve  away  the 
tissues  of  roots  or  stem  at  the  base  of  the 
tree  until  it  is  overturned  by  the  wind. 

We  don't  know  as  much  as  we  should 
about  the  rate  of  growth  in  our  forests,  but 
such  data  as  we  have  indicate  that  the 
annual  toll  taken  by  fire,  disease,  and  wind 
far  exceeds  the  annual  accretion  of  wood 
by  the  natural  processes  of  growth.  There 
is  no  actual  annual  increase  in  wood 
volume  in  a  virgin  forest.  .  Nature's  forces 
are  in  equilibrium;  life  and  death  are 
balanced.  It  has  been  stated  that  if  a 
single  spruce  tree  eight  inches  in  diameter 
died  on  the  average  acre  each  year,  the  loss 
in  wood  volume  thus  ensuing  would  offset 
the  average  annual  growth  on  certain  cut- 
over  pulpwood  lands  in  Quebec.  A  similar 
statement,  but  involving  even  less  annual 
growth,  has  been  made  in  regard  to  the 
cut-over  pine  lands  in  Ontario.  Recent 
studies  on  pulpwood  lands  in  Ontario  dis- 
closed the  fact  that  the  trees,  on  the  average 


acre,  left  after  the  logging  operations  ten 
years  ago,  had  since  increased  their  volume 
at  the  rate  of  seven  per  cent,  a  year,  but 
at  the  same  time  the  loss  by  disease  and 
wind-throwing  had  exceeded  the  annual 
growth  rate,  so  that  there  was  actually 
less  wood  material  on  the  average  acre 
than  ten  years  ago. 

Briefly,  our  forest  conditions  present 
this  problem:  Shall  we  accept  for  our 
lumbering  and  pulpwood  industries  the 
wood  of  constantly  decreasing  quality 
which  nature  urfguided  produces  when  the 
equilibrium  in  the  forest  has  been  upset  by 
fire,  disease,  or  logging  operations,  or  shall 
we  exert  intelligent  effort  to  maintain  our 
pine,  spruce,  and  other  valuable  forests 
and  thus  supply  the  forest  industries  with 
•wood  of  incomparable  quality  particularly 
adapted  to  their  needs? 

It  is  both  a  challenge  to  human  intelli- 
gence and  the  part  of  patriotism  to  keep 
the  natural  forest  areas  continuously 
productive  in  terms  of  commercially  valu- 
able trees — trees  whose  products  annually 
increase  the  wealth  of  the  country  by 
nearly  a  half  billion  dollars.  Hence,  the 
reason  for  the  existence  of  an  institution 
for  the  training  of  foresters.

Recent  Developments  in  Western  Universities 

By  HAROLD  S.  PATTON, 
DEPARTMENT  OF  ECONOMICS,  UNIVERSITY  OF  ALBERTA 


HARD  hit  as  agriculture  and  business 
may  be  throughout  the  West  this 
year,  the  young  universities  on  the 
north  and  south  Saskatchewan  do  not 
appear  to  be  noticeably  involved  in  the 
prevailing  depression.  The  number  of 
students  may  be  somewhat  restricted  by 
tense  conditions  on  the  farm — although 
Alberta  has  the  largest  number  in  her 
history — but  the  expansion  of  the  work 
of  the  prairie  universities  is  undoubtedly 
proceeding  at  a  more  accelerated  rate  than 
the  growth  of  population  in  Alberta  and 
Saskatchewan . 

The  rising  universities  at  Edmonton 
and  Saskatoon  have  both  the  advantages 
and  the  limitations  of  extreme  youthful- 
ness.  While  tradition  and  associations  lie 
in  the  formative  future  rather  than  the 
formulating  past,  these  junior  institutions 
have  had  the  distinct  advantage  of  launch- 
ing out,  both  as  to  polity  and  physical 
equipment,  in  accordance  with  the  proved 
experience  and  experimentation  of  older 
academic  establishments.  Instead  of  hav- 
ing to  consider  the  federation  of  existing 
educational  institutions  and  professional 
schools,  independently  and  diversely 
evolved,  the  governing  bodies  of  the  embryo 
universities  which  emerged  three  years 
after  the  statutory  establishment  of  the 
Western  Prairie  Provinces,  were  able  to 
plan,  not  only  a  harmonious  ground  and 
architectural  scheme,  but  also  an  organi- 
cally unified  institution  of  provincial  higher 
education.  Although  the  war  overtook  the 
Western  universities  while  still  in  their 
merest  infancy,  and  swept  their  under- 
graduates and  handful  of  graduates,  not 
to  mention  faculty  members,  into  the 
sterner  school  of  overseas  service,  the 
physical  and  departmental  development 
was  not  allowed  to  remain  stationary. 
Between  1909  and  1917  Saskatchewan  had 
added  to  its  nuclear  faculty  of  Arts  and 
Science  (which  opened  its  first  classes  in  a 
Saskatoon  business  block),  a  splendidly 
equipped  college  of  Agriculture,  a  college 
of  Law,  and  Schools  of  Engineering, 
Pharmacy  and  Accounting. 


Alberta,  starting  with  forty-five  students 
in  a  rented  building  in  the  fall  of  1908,  had 
before  the  war  constituted  four  faculties, 
Arts  and  Science,  Law,  Applied  Science, 
and  Medicine.  The  Faculty  of  Agriculture, 
which  called  for  considerable  addition  to 
the  University  land,  opened  its  doors  at 
the  opening  of  the  second  year  of  the  war, 
during  which  the  school  of  Pharmacy,  and 
the  Departments  of  Dentistry  and  House- 
hold Economics  were  also  inaugurated. 

Both  universities  had  the  further  initial 
advantage  of  extensive  and  admirably 
located  ground  sites, — each  commanding 
the  respective  branches  of  the  great  river 
of  the  prairies.  The  building  plan  pursued 
in  either  case  was,  however,  essentially 
different.  Saskatchewan,  adopting  the 
collegiate  Gothic  style  of  architecture  and 
availing  itself  of  the  proximity  of  excellent 
gray  building  stone,  constructed  her  college 
and  residence  buildings  to  a  standard 
which,  while  architecturally  pleasing,  ten- 
ded by  its  very  excellence  to  limit  the 
rate  of  physical  expansion  if  such  standard 
was  to  be  maintained.  Alberta  on  the 
other  hanol,  adopting  a  simple,  neo-classic 
style  of  architecture,  and  limited  to  com- 
mercial brick,  gave  greater  attention  to 
utility  and  internal  planning  (with  pro- 
vision for  physical  extensibility),  than  to 
the  aesthetic  aspects.  It  is  arguable  that 
in  a  new  agricultural  province,  service- 
ability for  extending  needs  combined  with 
adaptability  to  future  requirements  is 
more  appropriate  than  the  slow  accretion 
of  academic  buildings  which  in  a  general 
environment  of  crudity  and  tentativeness 
give  an  unexpected  impression  of  archi- 
tectural beauty,  unity,  and  permanence. 
At  any  rate  it  is  not  a  deplorable  sign, 
that,  instead  of  following  a  uniform  plan, 
each  institution  is  pursuing  a  policy  of  its 
own.  Until  time  gives  range  for  the  de- 
velopment of  distinctive  esprit  or  academic 
traditions  in  each  University,  it  is  the 
physical  characteristics  which  must  serve 
to  differentiate  provincial  institutions  so 
strictly  coeval  and  contiguous.

Universities  are   Distinctly  Provincial 

Perhaps  the  most  distinctive  feature  of 
these  prairie  universities  is  their  essentially 
Provincial  character — the  capital  "P" 
is  employed  advisedly.  They  exist  pri- 
marily to  subserve  the  peculiar  higher 
educational  needs  of  their  respective  pro- 
vinces, rather  than  as  institutions  of  pure 
learning.  It  is  becoming,  therefore,  that 
the  second  faculty  to  rise  at  Saskatoon 
and  the  one  to  which  the  largest  equip- 
ment is  devoted  should  be  the  College  of 
Agriculture,  whose  College  Farm  of  830 
acres  and  Experiment  and  Increase  Plots 
of  450  acres,  adjoin  the  University  campus 
with  its  own  substantial  300  acres,  while 
the  College  building  is  •  used  jointly  for 
lecture  purposes  by  Arts  and  Aggies. 
(Let  Torontonians  contemplate  a  corre- 
sponding juxtaposition  of  O.A.C.  and 
Queen's  Park!).  Somewhat  of  a  revelation 
to  visitors  to  Saskatoon  it  is  to  find  within 
a  stone's  throw  of  the  handsome  stone 
Gothic  College  Building,  the  three-storied, 
factory-like,  Agricultural  Engineering 
Building,  with  its  concrete  work,  gasoline 
engine,  sheet  metal  working,  pump  and 
barn  construction  and  farm  implement 
departments;  while  an  impressive,  dome- 
covered  brick  building  adjoining  turns  out 
to  be  a  spacious  live  stock  pavilion  with 
judging  arena,  convertible  lecture  rooms 
for  farmers'  short  courses,  and  model 
abattoir  in  the  (presumably)  leeward 
portion  of  the  building.  While  a  high 
and  liberal  standard  is  set  for  the  degree 
of  Bachelor  of  Science  in  Agriculture,  and 
a  combined  six  year  course  in  Arts  and 
Agriculture  is  offered  for  the  training  of 
those  looking  forward  to  teaching,  research, 
or  administration  in  agriculture,  the  needs 
of  the  young  landworking  farmer  are  met 
through  the  three  years  associate  course, 
for  which, the  entrance  requirements  con- 
sist not  in  the  passing  of  an  examination, 
but  at  least  one  year's  bona  fide  experience 
on  a  farm.  To  serve  the  needs  of  the  adult 
farmer  who  cannot  attend  even  an  abbre- 
viated residence  course,  the  College  of 
Agriculture  carries  on  an  aggressive  ex- 
tension service  which  assumes  manifold 
forms — Farmers'  short  courses  in  selected 
provincial  centres  during  the  winter 
months;  lecture  demonstrations  after  seed- 
ing in  the  pioneer  districts;  annual  farmers' 
excursions  to  the  College  Farm  during 
July;  judging  and  lecturing  at  district 


horse  shows,  plowing  matches,  standing 
crops  competitions,  agricultural  society 
fairs,  etc. ;  organization  of  Farmers',  Home- 
makers',  and  Junior  Farm  clubs,  publica- 
tion and  circulation  of  agricultural  periodi- 
cals and  bulletins,  etc.  The  wise  course 
adopted  at  the  time  of  the  establishment 
of  the  college  of  Agriculture,  by  which  the 
provincial  department  of  agriculture  trans- 
ferred its  educational  work  to  the  univer- 
sity, has  eliminated  in  Saskatchewan  the 
competition  and  overlapping,  which  only 
too  frequently  is  to  be  found  between 
provincial  departments  of  agriculture  and 
education — a  relationship  which  Alberta 
has  so  far  less  conclusively  solved. 

Alberta  being  less  completely  an  agra- 
rian province  than  her  eastern  twin  sister, 
the  agricultural  faculty  of  the  provincial 
university  at  Edmonton,  while  very  effec- 
tively conducted,  does  not  occupy  quite 
the  same  relatively  conspicuous  position 
in  the  university  scheme  as  does  the  corre- 
sponding institution  at  Saskatoon.  Alberta, 
on  the  other  hand  has  developed  further 
her  Faculty  of  Applied  Science,  particu- 
larly in  the  Civil  Engineering  and  Mining 
departments,  as  befits  a  province  whose 
coat  of  arms  bears  mountain  peaks  as  well 
as  wheat  sheaves,  a  province  which  leads 
the  Dominion  in  coal  resources  and 
petroleum  possibilities,  and  which  is  just 
beginning  to  tap  the  great  waterways  of  the 
North.  B.A.Sc.  degrees  are  now  offered 
in  Civil,  Electrical,  and  Mining  Engineer- 
ing, and  in  Architecture.  The  opening  this 
year  of  the  admirably  equipped  neo-classic 
Medical  Building  (for  which  $25,000  annu- 
ally has  been  made  available  from  the 
Rockfeller  Foundation  for  Medical  train- 
ing) represents  the  only  Canadian  Medical 
School  west  of  Winnipeg- — While  the  labo- 
ratory equipment  is  equal  to  that  of  most 
Eastern  medical  schools,  the  limitations 
in  the  way  of  clinical  work  make  it  neces- 
sary for  the  present  at  least  that  the  work 
of  the  fifth  and  sixth  years  should  be  com- 
pleted at  Toronto  or  McGill  (for  which 
equivalent  status  is  granted  to  Alberta 
students),  while  a  similar  arrangement 
applies  in  the  case  of  the  two  senior  years 
in  dentistry.  It  is  no  small  advantage  to 
students  in  Alberta,  Saskatchewan,  and 
British  Columbia,  to  be  thus  enabled  to 
take  more  than  half  their  professional 
work  under  the  conditions  of  closer  faculty 
supervision  favoured  by  small  classes,

without  incurring  the  frequently  prohibi- 
tive expense  of  six  years  attendance  in  the 
East. 

The  close  relationship  between  the 
University  of  Alberta  and  the  province  of 
Alberta  is  well  illustrated  by  the  func- 
tioning of  the  Provincial  Research  Council, 
through  which  the  laboratory  equipment 
and  the  departmental  researches  of  the 
University  are  directed  towards  the  in- 
vestigation of  the  Natural  resources  of 
the  Province  and  the  related  developmental 
problems.  In  addition  to  soil  and  genetic 
experiments  of  the  department  of  agricul- 
ture, the  Research  Council  is  at  present 
engaged  on  such  practical  researches  as 
the  economic  extraction  of  bitumen  from 
the  Athabasca  tar  sands  for  road  dressing 
purposes,  and  carboni  ing  and  briquetting 
methods  for  utilising  the  slack  which  forms 
so  large  and  so  unmarketable  a  percentage 
of  the  sub-bituminous  and  lignite  run-of- 
mine  in  Eastern  Alberta  coal  fields.  The 
Industrial  Laboratories  of  the  University 
are  equipped  to  conduct  Chemical,  Physi- 
cal, Assay,  Coal,  Cement  and  Concrete 
tests  in  connection  with  the  industries 
and  resources  of  the  province. 

Alberta  Seeks  to  Serve  People  at  Large 

From  the  very  outset  the  policy  of  the 
University  of  Alberta  has  been  to  serve 
not  only  the  students  in  full  time  attend- 
ance but  also  to  take  the  university  to 
the  people  of  the  Province  at  large.  The 
Department  of  Extension  which  was  for- 
mally established  before  the  first  class  in 
Arts  had  graduated,  reaches  the  scattered 
communities  of  the  Province  not  merely 
through  circulation  of  travelling  libraries 
and  bulletins  of  information  and  debating 
material,  or  by  visual  instruction  through 
lantern  slide  and  motion  picture  exchanges, 
but  also  by  sending  out  a  special  corps  of 
lecturers  to  meet  the  requests  of  U.F.A. 
locals,  Women's  Institutes,  community 
leagues,  G.W.V.A.  branches,  church  guilds, 
etc.  Within  the  past  year  a  more  in- 
tensive programme  has  been  carried  out 
through  the  appointment  of  an  extension 
lecturer  in  Economics,  who  conducts  weekly 
classes  in  Economic  Principles  and  Institu- 
tions under  the  auspices  of  the  Edmonton 
and  Calgary  Trade  and  Labour  Councils 


respectively,  while  short  term  courses  in 
Agriculture  and  Economics  are  being  given 
in  March,  for  U.F.A.  secretaries  and  dele- 
gates, both  at  Edmonton  and  Calgary. 
Perhaps  the  most  far  reaching,  if  least 
conspicuous  service  rendered  by  the  De- 
partment of  Extension  is  the  information 
and  reference  material  supplied  in  re- 
sponse to  inquiries  from  every  corner  of 
the  Province,  ranging  from  League  of 
Nations  to  hardening  of  the  arteries. 

While  the  faculties  of  the  prairie  univer- 
sities have  been  recruited  in  representa- 
tive proportion  from  the  older  institutions 
of  eastern  Canada,  United  States  and 
Great  Britain  there  is  perhaps  a  larger 
percentage  of  Canadians  among  the 
younger  members  than  is  to  be  found  in 
the  faculties  of  the  Eastern  universities. 
While  most  of  them  have  taken  their 
graduate  training  in  American  or  British 
universities,  they  are  finding  through  these 
new  western  universities  an  academic 
career  in  their  own  land,  and  contributing 
to  them  an  atmosphere  of  keenness  and 
solidarity.  In  Alberta  the  infectious  en- 
thusiasm and  outstanding  leadership  of 
President  Tory,  and  the  animated  and 
largely  attended  monthly  meetings  of 
the  Faculty  Club,  serve  to  engender  an 
esprit  and  an  intimacy  amongst  the  staff 
members  that  is  less  easily  attainable  in 
larger  institutions.  Moreover  the  recent 
arrangement  by  which  the  Universities  of 
Manitoba,  Saskatchewan,  and  Alberta  send 
each  year  an  exchange  professor  to  visit 
the  sister  institutions  tends  to  establish  a 
very  desirable  relationship  among  the 
prairie  universities. 

For  some  time  to  come  students  of 
western  universities  must  look  to  eastern 
institutions  for  their  graduate  work.  Un- 
doubtedly the  thoughts  of  most  turn  at 
present  towards  Chicago,  Wisconsin,  or 
Minnesota,  with  their  greater  "proximity 
and  accommodating  system  of  credits. 
With  the  development  of  advanced  work 
in  our  Eastern  Canadian  universities,  it 
is  undoubtedly  in  the  interests  of  Canadian 
unity  that,  as  President  Falconer  recently 
urged,  substantial  fellowships  should  be 
made  available  to  students  of  the  western 
universities,  for  advanced  work  in  the 
historic  universities  of  eastern  Canada. 


The  Training  of  Architects 

A  THOROUGH  EDUCATION  IN  BUILDING  CONSTRUCTION  AND  THE 
DEVELOPMENT  OF  THE  AESTHETIC  SENSE 


THE  only  department  of  the  University 
which  professes  to  teach  art  is  not 
in  an  Arts  College  but  in  the 
Faculty  of  Applied  Science  and  Engineer- 
ing. And  the  claim  of  the  Department  of 
Architecture  to  teach  art  is  not  an  empty 
boast.  The  visitor  to  the  north  elevation 
rooms  of  the  old  Engineering  Building  will 
find  the  walls  and  work  tables  covered  with 
student  work  which  has  high  artistic 
quality.  There  he  will  find  water  colour 
sketches  executed  under  the  direction  of 
Mr  C.  W.  Jefferys,  A.R.C.A.;  statuettes 
and  plaques  modelled  under  the  super- 
vision of  Mr  F.  Coates ;  and  finely  rendered 
architectural  perspectives  drawn  under  the 
guidance  of  Professors  McConnell  and 
Berrington. 

The  aim  of  the  Department  is  to  give  a 
sound  education  in  the  principles  of 
architectural  design  and  building  con- 
struction and  at  the  same  time  develop 
the  aesthetic  sense  and  the  creative 
instinct.  The  student  architect  is  first 
given  instruction  in  the  history  of  archi- 
tecture and  is  made  familiar  with  the 
outstanding  features  and  simpler  archi- 
tectural forms  of  the  various  periods. 
He  is  taught  how  to  use  instruments  and 


to  apply  colour  and  is  required  to  execute 
simple  designs.  He  is  made  acquainted 
with  the  rudiments  of  free-hand  drawing 
and  modelling.  As  many  of  the  best  books 
on  architecture  are  in  French,  he  is  taught 
French.  And  on  what  may  be  called  the 
more  practical  side  he  is  given  instruction 
in  Statics,  Strength  and  Elasticity  of 
Materials,  Sanitation,  Heating  and  Ventila- 
tion. He  also  studies  Mathematics,  which 
he  pursues  until  in  the  second  year  he  has 
mastered  the  Calculus. 

As  the  course  proceeds  greater  emphasis 
is  placed  on  the  development  of  individual 
initiative  and  on  the  study  of  architectural 
forms  which  are  applicable  to  modern 
conditions. 

Towards  the  end  of  the  first  year  a 
problem  is  set  which,  Professor  McConnell 
points  out,  calls  for  somewhat  the  same 
skill  as  the  trimming  of  a  spring  hat.  The 
problem  is  to  construct  a  pleasing  design 
by  grouping  a  number  of  simple  historical 
ornaments  and  forms.  The  quality  of  the 
drawing  of  the  individual  designs,  as  well 
as  the  grouping,  is  taken  into  consideration 
in  the  judging.  The  drawings  are  rendered 
in  colours  and  at  first  glance  might  be  taken 
for  a  futurist  water  colour — here  a  column,

there  a  cornice,  here  a  vase  and  there  an 
arch,  all  blended  into  a  single  whole. 

In  the  second  year  problems  are  set 
which  call  for  further  initiative.  At  the 
moment  in  one  of  the  drafting  rooms — or 
should  we  say  studios? — there  are  displayed 
many  drawings  of  a  small  railway  station 
of  varied  designs.  The  class  was  given 
the  problem — a  station  of  a  certain  size 
with  so  many  tracks  and  so  much  waiting- 
room  accommodation.  The  student  was 
required  to  make  ground  plans  and  eleva- 
tions according  to  his  own  ideas  of  the 
practical  and  the  beautiful.  The  fourth 
year  have  recently  drawn  plans  and  made 
perspectives  of  a  group  of  university 
buildings,  consisting  of  a  library,  a  con- 
vocation hall,  and  an  administration  build- 
ing. Several  weeks'  time  is  given  in  some 
cases  for  the  completion  of  a  problem,  in 
others  only  twenty-four  hours.  This  latter 
to  develop  speed  and  facility  in  the  hand- 
ling of  the  instruments. 

In  modelling,  free  hand  drawing,  and 
the  application  of  colour,  attention  is  also 
given  to  the  creative  instinct  as  the  course 
proceeds.  Drawing  and  modelling  is  done 
from  life.  No  doubt  many  graduates  will 
be  surprised  to  know  that  within  the 
precincts  of  the  University,  models- — often 
in  the  nude  to  judge  by  the  statuettes — 
a  draughty  old  building  that,  too — pose, 
while  white-smocked  students  make  their 
likenesses. 


Is  it  any  wonder  that  the  "Architects" 
look  upon  their  fellow-students  of  the 
Faculty  of  Applied  Science  as  "mere 
Engineers"? 

But  Architecture  is  not  wholly  divorced 
from  Engineering.  The  instruction  given 
by  Professor  C.  H.  C.  Wright,  head  of  the 
Department,  and  by  Professor  T.  R. 
Loudon  in  the  subjects  connected  with  the 
practical  construction  of  buildings  occupies 
a  very  important  place  in  the  curriculum. 
The  architect  must  be  engineer  as  well  as 
artist,  and  buildings  must  not  only  be 
pleasing  to  the  eye  but  habitable  and 
durable. 

The  classes  in  Architecture  are  not 
large.  In  all  years  there  are  at  present 
thirty-two  enrolled.  This  is  well  because 
for  the  greater  part  of  the  work  personal 
instruction  is  absolutely  essential. 

Beginning  with  next  year  the  degree  of 
Bachelor  of  Architecture  (B.Arch.)  will 
be  given  to  graduates  in  the  Department 
in  place  of  the  B.A.Sc.  which  is  at  present 
granted.  This  degree  will  differentiate 
the  architects  from  the  other  graduates  in 
Applied  Science  whose  training  has  been 
along  more  general  engineering  lines. 

The  staff  of  the  Department  is  at  present 
as  follows:  C.  H.  C.  Wright,  professor; 
A.  W.  McConnell  and  Adrian  Berrington, 
associate  professors;  H.  H.  Madill  and 
W.  J.  T.  Wright,  lecturers;  C.  W.  Jefferys, 
instructor  in  Drawing;  and  F.  Coates, 
instructor  in  Modelling. 


Psychology  in  the  University 

By  G.  S.  BRETT 
PROFESSOR  OF  PHILOSOPHY,  UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO 


DURING  the  last  fifty  years  a  process 
of  development  has  brought  about 
the  complete  transformation  of  what 
used  to  be  called  mental  philosophy.  The 
sciences  of  the  nineteenth  century  grew 
rapidly  and  consequently  tended  to  con- 
tinual re-organization ;  one  after  another 
new  fields  were  marked  off  and  given  fresh 
boundaries;  such  terms  as  physiology, 
biology,  psychophysics,  physiological  psy- 
chology, and  psychobiology  are  landmarks 
in  the  process  of  this  expansion  and 
organization  of  knowledge.  As  the  words 
suggest,  there  has  been  throughout  a 


degree  of  overlapping,  or  more  correctly  a 
persistent  vital  connection  between  one 
department  and  another.  The  founders 
of  modern  psychology  were  descendants  of 
some  more  ancient  and  honourable  line, 
and  the  science  they  constructed  was  based 
on  other  sciences  already  more  highly 
developed. 

These  historical  facts  are  recognizable 
in  the  problems  of  organization  which  have 
to  be  faced  by  a  department  of  Psychology. 
If  the  department '  looks  forward  to  pro- 
ducing really  competent  psychologists  it 
must  receive  students  who  have  an  ade- 


UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO  MONTHLY

quate  knowledge  of  Physics,  Physiology, 
Neurology,  and  Biology.  A  complete 
equipment  in  all  these  branches  can  rarely 
be  expected,  but  with  a  good  elementary 
training  the  student  can  adapt  himself  to 
his  subject  by  specializing  in  that  aspect 
of  Psychology  for  which  he  finds  himself 
best  trained  and  best  fitted  by  nature. 

The  specialist  in  Psychology  must,  of 
course,  be  a  graduate  student.  Specializa- 
tion in  a  field  of  this  kind  is  not  to  be 
expected  or  desired  before  the  student 
has  had  time  to  lay  a  broad  and  firm 
foundation  in  the  sciences  with  which  he 
must  always  retain  some  connection.  But 
from  the  point  of  view  of  instruction  there 
are  many  grades  to  be  considered,  and  as 
an  element  in  the  whole  machinery  of 
the  University  a  course  in  Psychology 
serves  many  purposes.  So  far  as  the 
resources  permit  all  these  purposes  have 
been  kept  in  mind  when  the  curriculum 
of  the  department  has  been  framed.  The 
result  is  sufficiently  complex  and  need  not 
be  described  in  detail,  but  a  summary  of 
the  main  points  will  show  the  extent  and 
importance  of  the  work  now  undertaken. 

In  this,  as  in  other  departments,  the 
lowest  stratum  is  the  instruction  offered 
as  part  of  the  General  Course.  In  view 
of  the  present  popularity  of  the  subject, 
the  innumerable  interests  which  have  or 
pretend  to  have  a  psychological  aspect, 
and  the  fact  that  even  the  most  casual 
reader  of  current  literature  must  know 
something  of  the  use  or  abuse  of  psy- 
chological terms,  it  is  necessary  to  pro- 
vide a  broad  general  survey  of  the  field 
of  Psychology  and  an  opportunity  to 
learn  the  grammar  of  the  subject.  A 
course  of  this  kind  may  be  taken  by  those 
who  have  no  intention  of  continuing  the 
subject,  and  serves  also  for  others  who 
may  require  to  continue  it  in  certain 
limited  fields.  This  type  of  instruction  is 
specially  adapted,  in  fact,  to  students  of 
the  General  Course,  to  teachers,  and  to 
miscellaneous  groups  such  as  may  from 
time  to  time  be  formed  for  special  pur- 
poses. During  the  current  year  courses  of 
this  description,  with  spe  ial  adaptation 
as  required,  have  been  given  to  the 
e  tra-m'  ral  Un'versity  Classes  at  t>e  Cen- 
tral Y.M.C.A.  and  in  the  Short  Course 
for  Farmers  con^'u  te^  at  the  Unhersitv. 

Until  recently  Psychology  was  a  sub- 
division of  Philosophy.  This  was  the 


traditional  connection,  and  so  long  as  the 
subject  remained  "mental  philosophy"  it 
was  a  natural  relationship.  At  the  present 
time  there  is  no  advantage  in  the  con- 
nection beyond  the  fact  that  it  keeps 
alive  the  tradition;  the  philosopher  of 
course  needs  Psychology  and  psycholo- 
gists frequently  stand  in  need  of  some 
Philosophy,  but  to  that  extent  every 
subject  needs  to  be  supplemented.  The 
decisive  factor  is  the  direction  in  which 
growth  is  to  be  expected  and  in  the  case 
of  Psychology  that  direction  is  toward  ex- 
perimental laboratory  work,  study  of 
individual  character,  analysis  of  social  and 
industrial  problems,  and  specific  work  in 
the  sphere  of  abnormal  Psychology. 
Through  the  development  of  these  phases 
psychology  has  gradually  become  a  dis- 
tinct factor  in  many  forms  of  training,  in 
addition  to  the  training  of  the  psychologist 
himself  in  the  "pure  sciences"  of  his  sub- 
ject. This  is  particularly  true  of  all  courses 
for  training  social  workers;  similarly  it  is 
true  for  medical  training,  and  those  who 
look  forward  to  the  organization  and  con- 
trol of  workers  in  almost  every  sphere  of 
labour  are  becoming  more  certain  that 
help  can  be  derived  from  a  knowledge  of 
the  mental  aspects  of  behaviour. 

At  present  the  work  in  Psychology  is 
growing  steadily  under  the  pressure  of 
demands  from  all  these  different  sources. 
In  addition  to  the  general  training  men- 
tioned above,  there  is  a  special  course  in 
Psychology;  there  is  also  a  large  enrol- 
ment of  medical  students  who  elect  Psy- 
chology as  an  option  in  their  course;  there 
is  a  compulsory  course  for  all  medical 
students  of  the  third  year;  there  is  daily 
clinical  work  through  which  the  depart- 
ment assists  the  work  of  the  National 
Committee  for  Mental  Hygiene  and  the 
work  of  the  Juvenile  Courts;  there  is  also 
the  research  work  which  has  to  be  carried 
on  when  possible,  though  obviously  this 
programme  leaves  little  opportunity  for 
anything  outside  the  routine.  Here  as 
everywhere  in  the  University  there  is 
continual  demand  for  expansion,  but 
neither  staff  nor  premises  can  be  taxed 
beyond  their  limits.  The  premises  include 
a  block  of  rooms  in  the  north-west  portion 
of  the  Main  Building,  with  the  old  Dining 
Hall  as  a  specially  equipped  lecture  room 
for  demonstrations  before  the  larger  classes. 
The  laboratory  equipment  and  special  ex-

UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO  MONTHLY 


perimental  rooms  have  been  distributed 
over  the  third  floor  above  the  clinic  and 
lecture  rooms  and  are  under  Professor 
Bott's  direction.  The  courses  in  abnormal 
Psychology  and  the  clinical  work  are 
managed  by  Professor  J.  W.  Bridges  who 
came  to  the  University  last  year  from  the 
State  University  of  Columbus,  Ohio.  Pro- 
fessor Bridges  is  a  graduate  of  McGill  and 
of  Harvard;  he  has  had  experience  in 
teaching  and  in  the  methods  of  psycho- 
logical work  as  applied  in  the  United 
States  to  the  army  and  to  the  general 
problems  of  personnel.  In  coming  to 
Canada,  Professor  Bridges  was  returning 
to  his  native  land.  The  work  in  the  Social 
Service  Department  has  been  carried  on 
by  Miss  K.  M.  Banham  who  was  also 
appointed  last  year;  her  training  at 
Cambridge  and  at  Manchester  under  the 
best  English  teachers,  together  with  her 
experience  in  teaching,  has  made  Miss 
Banham's  work  exceptionally  valuable  to 
the  department.  While  the  regular  staff 


is  limited  to  three  and  there  is  a  recog- 
nized sphere  of  work  for  each  member  of 
the  staff,  the  success  of  the  work  has  been 
due  very  largely  to  the  co-operation  of 
the  individuals  and  to  the  willingness 
with  which  they  have  submitted  to  con- 
ditions which  require  self-sacrifice.  People 
who  never  teach  probably  never  under- 
stand that  the  most  irksome  part  of  that 
occupation  is  the  necessity  of  abandoning 
the  work  with  advanced  students,  where 
obvious  results  are  obtainable,  in  order  to 
assist  in  routine  work  for  which  a  sub- 
ordinate staff  should  be  provided.  The 
present  resources  are  drawn  upon  to  their 
full  capacity.  A  request  for  additional 
courses  of  any  kind  can  be  met  only  by 
finding  additional  helpers.  A  crisis  of 
this  kind  arose  when  the  Farmers'  Course 
required  lectures  in  Psychology,  and  the 
department  can  take  this  opportunity  to 
thank  Dr  C.  M.  Hincks  for  his  willingness 
to  help  and  the  excellent  way  in  which 
he  conducted  that  course. 


College  of  Education  Grows  on  Graduate  Side 

By  PETER  SANDIFORD,  PROFESSOR  OF  EDUCATIONAL  PSYCHOLOGY 


Ontario  College  of  Education  is  in 
1  effect  the  Faculty  of  Education  of 
the  University  of  Toronto.  It  is  the 
University's  professional  school  of  educa- 
tion in  the  same  sense  that  the  School  of 
Science  is  the  University's  Faculty  of 
Applied  Science,  or  the  Medical  School  is 
the  University's  Faculty  of  Medicine. 
Founded  in  December,  1906,  on  the  recom- 
mendation of  the  Royal  Commission  of  the 
University  of  Toronto,  as  a  Faculty  of 
Education,  in  succession  to  the  Ontario 
Normal  College  at  Hamilton,  it  assumed 
its  present  name  in  1920  when  the  training 
of  secondary  teachers  was  concentrated  in 
Toronto. 

In  a  memorandum  of  agreement  dated 
June  30th,  1920,  between  the  Minister  of 
Education  and  the  Governors  of  the 
University  of  Toronto,  it  was  arranged 
that  "the  Ontario  College  of  Education 
shall  provide  for 

(1)  Graduate  courses  of  instruction  in 

education ; 

•(2)  Courses  for  certificates  as  High 
School  Assistants  and  Specialists; 
and 


(3)  Such  other  courses  for  certificates  of 
the  Department  of  Education  as 
may  be  required  by  the  Minister  of 
Education  and  agreed  to  by  the 
Governors." 

In  the  same  memorandum  it  was  agreed 
that  the  Governors  should  submit  the 
detailed  estimates  of  the  College  of  Educa- 
tion each  year  and  if  these  were  approved 
by  the  Minister  of  Education,  they  should 
be  submitted  to  the  Legislative  Assembly 
as  a  part  of  the  Estimates  of  the  Depart- 
ment of  Education.  These  agreements 
were  reached  so  that  nothing  should  inter- 
fere with  a  continuous  supply  of  teachers 
for  the  High  Schools  and  Collegiate  In- 
stitutes of  the  Province  of  Ontario.  It  is 
conceivable  that  the  Province  of  Ontario 
could  continue  with  an  intermittent  supply, 
say,  of  lawyers,  doctors  and  engineers,  but 
the  stream  of  teachers  must  be  continuous 
for  all  time.  The  agreement  insures  this. 
Since  1920,  therefore,  the  Ontario  College 
of  Education  has  practically  been  a  post- 
graduate institution — the  only  one  in 
Canada,  if  not  in  the  whole  world.  Candi- 
dates for  first  class  certificates  are  now

trained  in  the  Provincial  Normal  Schools 
at  Toronto,  Ottawa,  Hamilton,  and  London. 
The  only  undergraduates  now  trained  in 
the  College  of  Education  are  a  group  of 
women  students  in  a  course  for  teachers 
of  Household  Science,  who  receive  theo- 
retical and  practical  training  in  cooking, 
sewing  and  household  management,  as 
well  as  practice  in  the  teaching  of  these 
subjects  in  the  schools  of  Toronto. 

While  the  training  of  secondary  teachers 
will  continue  to  be  the  main  work  of  the 
Ontario  College  of  Education,  both  the 
Department  of  Education  and  the  Board 
of  Governors  recognize  the  necessity  for 
providing  graduate  courses  in  education. 
Scores  of  teachers  from  Canada  attend 
the  summer  and  regular  sessions  in  educa- 
tion at  Columbia,  Chicago,  and  other 
American  universities.  Many  of  these 
teachers  remain  south  of  the  Border  and 
are  lost  to  Canadian  life  and  welfare.  The 
drainage  o'f  many  of  the  best  educators 
from  Canada  to  the  States  cannot  be 
viewed  with  equanimity  by  this  country. 
If  a  strong  college  of  Education  can  be 
established  in  Toronto,  many  of  these 
teachers  will  be  saved  for  Canada. 

Since  its  inception  in  1906,  the  Faculty 
of  Education  (and  its  successor,  the 
Ontario  College  of  Education)  has  under- 
taken courses  leading  to  the  degrees  of 
Bachelor  of  Pedagogy  and  Doctor  of 
Pedagogy.  These  were,  at  first,  extra- 
mural degrees.  In  1914  summer  'schools 
were  established  for  the  training  of  candi- 
dates for  these  degrees.  Attended  at  first 
by  a  bare  score  of  students,  this  part  of 
the  work  has  steadily  developed  until  in 
1921  over  seventy  candidates,  drawn  from 
every  province  of  the  Dominion,  as  well 
as  from  four  states  of  the  United  States, 
were  attracted  to  Toronto.  So  great  has 
been  the  demand  for  graduate  work 
leading  to  the  degrees  in  Pedagogy  and 
the  Master's  degree  in  Arts,  that  regular 
courses  during  the  winter  session  now 
form  part  of  the  College  programme. 

If  the  scheme  for  the  re-organization  of 
the  University  Board  of  Graduate  Studies 
goes  through,  all  the  graduate  work  at 
present  done  by  the  College  of  Education 
will  be  transferred  to  the  control  of  the 
Board.  The  significance  of  this  transfer 
will  be  realized  when  it  is  stated  that  there 
are  at  the  moment  forty-five  candidates 
for  the  degree  of  B.Paed.  and  two  hundred 


DR  WILLIAM  PAKENHAM 
Dean  of  the  College  of  Education 


and  twenty  candidates  for  the  degree  of 
D.Paed.  on  the  College  roll.  This  great 
body  of  students'  has  been  built  up  since 
1914  when  there  were  only  seven  candi- 
dates for  the  two  degrees.  They  consist 
for  the  most  part  of  inspectors,  teachers 
in  normal  schools,  principals  and  chief 
assistants  of  high  schools  and  collegiate 
institutes. 

While  the  course  offered  for  D.Paed.  is 
not  so  good  as  the  staff  of  the  College  of 
Education  would  desire,  yet  it  must  be 
remembered  that  it  has  been  improved. 
From  a  purely  extra-mural  course,  it  has 
grown  into  an  intra-mural  course  where 
attendance  at  these  summer  sessions  plus 
a  post-graduate  year  of  professional  train- 
ing :s  required.  The  policy  of  the  College 
in  first  attracting  students  and  then  raising 
the  standards  has  been  fully  justified  by 
the  events.  If  the  same  policy  had  been 
steadily  pursued  by  the  Board  of  Graduate 
Studies,  the  University  of  Toronto  would 
have  had  a  big  as  well  as  an  excellent 
graduate  school.  Numbers  are  not  neces- 
sarily incompatible  with  excellence  as 
many  seem  to  think.  In  transferring  the 
Pedagogy  degrees  to  the  Board  of  Graduate 
Studies  it  is  to  be  hoped  that  the  en- 
thusiasm of  teachers  now  so  Nearly 
evinced  will  not  be  damped  by  red-tape 
and  over-stringent  regulations.  For  in 
Toronto,  as  in  every  university  on  this 
continent,  the  majority  of  graduate  stu-

dents  will  be  teachers  and  those  intending 
to  follow  an  academic  career. 

The  greatest  present  need  of  the  Ontario 
College  of  Education  is  a  body  of  students 
in  residence  during  the  regular  session 
studying  for  the  Ph.D.  degree.  Such 
students  can  be  attracted  in  two  ways 
only:  (1)  by  the  excellence  of  the  staff; 
and  (2)  by  offering  research  scholarships. 
The  College  has  now  at  its  disposal  four  or 
five  research  scholarships  valued  at  not 
less  than  $500  each.  The  Board  of 
Governors  and  the  Department  of  Educa- 
tion are  fully  alive  to  the  necessity  of 
strengthening  the  staff  for  graduate  re- 
search courses.  When  all  plans  are  in 
full  working  order,  and  when  the  con- 
templated additions  to  the  buildings  have 


been  completed,  the  College  expects  to 
be  not  only  a  school  for  the  training  of 
teachers  for  the  schools  of  Ontario,  but 
also  a  research  institution  strong  enough 
in  staff  and  equipment  to  attract  advanced 
students  in  education  from  all  parts  of 
the  Dominion.  Appended  is  a  summary 
showing  the  enrolment  for  the  current 
session.

U.  C.  Association  Memorializes  Governors 


The  following  memorial  was  recently  presented  to  the  Board  of  Governors  by  the 
University  College  Alumni  Association: 


The  graduates  of  University  College, 
who  have  only  recently  formed  an  Alumni 
Association  of  their  own,  desire  to  take 
this  early  occasion  of  bringing  before  the 
Governors  and  President  of  the  University, 
the  concern  and  disappointment  with 
which  they  have  witnessed  the  adjourn- 
ment of  the  reforms  suggested  by  the 
University  Commission  of  last  spring 
(1921)  and  the  urgent  need  for  prompt 
action  which  in  their  judgment  is  attached 
to  some  of  these  reforms. 

In  particular  and  most  of  all  they  desire 
to  call  attention  once  more,  as  the  Com- 
missioners called  attention,  to  the  con- 
gestion of  University  College.  University 
College  was  in  some  respects  better  off 
for  space  forty  years  ago  though  it  then 
included  in  its  rooms,  Museum,  Physics 
Building,  Convocation  Hall,  and  Library, 
than  it  is  to-day  when  all  these  needs  have 
been  supplied  by  new  buildings  outside 
the  College.  Then,  at  least,  it  had  a 
residence,  which  it  has  now  almost  entirely 
lost  to  the  University  Departments  of 
History  and  Psychology,  and  to  the 
Superintendent.  Therj  it  had  an  eastern 
and  south-eastern  block  of  lecture  rooms, 
seven  in  number,  which  it  has  now  lost 
to  the  administrative  departments  of  the 
Registrar  and  Bursar. 


The  result  of  this  encroachment  of 
administration  upon  academic  purposes 
is  not  only  calamitous  and  deplorable,  but 
becomes  increasingly  more  intolerable  as 
the  number  of  students  in  the  College 
increases.  The  result  has  been,  as  the 
Commission  has  reported,  that  during  last 
session  the  College  could  only  find  room 
for  several  of  its  classes  in  the  subterranean 
portions  of  the  old  residence,  in  its  kitchen 
that  is,  and  in  two  sculleries  or  servants' 
rooms;  in  addition  to  which  the  dining 
hall  of  the  same  residence  has  been 
necessarily  converted  to  the  same  purpose 
of  a  temporary  lecture  hall,  though  it  was 
the  only  space  remaining  which  could 
offer  the  students  of  the  College  some  sort 
of  common  room. 

This  session  the  renewed  life  of  the 
College  Society,  the  Literary  and  Athletic 
Society,  has  emphasized  this  need  of  a 
common  room  for  students,  but  there  is 
literally  no  space  which  can  be  set  at  their 
disposal  for  this  purpose,  and  their  num- 
bers meanwhile  are  larger  than  ever. 

This  is  only  one  aspect  of  the  congestion ; 
another,  and  if  less  spectacular,  not  less 
serious,  is  the  lack  of  private  rooms  where 
professors  can  meet  students  for  the 
revision  of  their  work  and  the  discussion  of 
their  essays. 


UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO  MONTHLY

The  Department  of  English,  in  parti- 
cular, whose  work  must  involve  always  in 
a  special  degree  such  private  conferences 
and  essay  reading,  has  no  adequate  space. 
Its  three  or  four  small  rooms  are  divided 
between  a  staff  of  seven  persons,  who 
cannot,  therefore,  meet  students  simul- 
taneously in  separate  rooms;  who  cannot 
even,  if  their  colleagues  are  meeting 
students,  find  a  separate  and  quiet  place 
for  their  own  work. 

The  Commissioners  reported  the  need 
of  an  administrative  building  in  the  first 
order  of  urgency  and  with  it  the  need  of 
the  completion  of  the  College  quadrangle 
by  the  addition  of  a  north  front,  if  only 
for  the  use  of  such  University  departments 
as  have  not  already  buildings  or  adequate 
buildings  of  their  own  outside  the  College. 

The  Governors  have  included  also  the 
building  of  a  Union  for  the  women  students 
of  the  College,  always  increasing  in  num- 
bers, as  a  pressing  need  of  the  College. 

These  are  the  immediate  wants  of  the 


College  which  its  alumni  press  upon  the 
Government,  the  Governors,  and  the 
President.  They  assume,  of  course,  in 
accordance  with  the  Commissioners'  and 
the  Governors'  plans  that  the  College 
remains  on  its  old  site  and  resumes  at  the 
earliest  possible  moment  and  to  the  fullest 
possible  degree,  the  use  of  its  original 
rooms,  although  the  contrary  suggestion 
has  actually  found  public  expression. 

This  present  purpose  is  not  so  much  to 
assure  the  Governors  and  President  that 
any  suggestion  of  a  change  of  site  for  the 
College  would  meet  with  the  strongest 
opposition  from  ninety-five  per  cent,  or 
more  of  its  graduates — such  an  assurance 
would  seem  gratuitous — as  to  press  for 
the  prompt  erection  of  an  Administration 
Building,  and  for  such  other  projected 
reforms  as  would  end  the  congestion  of 
University  College  and  restore  to  it  the 
space  which  it  once  occupied  and  would 
enable  it  again  to  resume  its  original  and 
proper  functions. 


Research  Activities  in  the  University 


RATHER  too  prevalent  is  the  idea  that 
a  university  is  a  teaching  institution 
purely.  Teaching  is,  of  course,  one  of 
its  functions  but  research  is  just  as  truly 
another  of  its  functions.  Because  the 
average  professor  is  not  an  advertiser  and 
because  the  need  for  and  the  value  of  re- 
search—  even  the  existence  of  such  an 
activity — are  largely  unknown,  the  public 
are  inclined  to  think  of  a  university  pro- 
fessor as  a  teacher  only  and  may  be  in- 
clined also  to  the  opinion  that  his  time  is 
not  very  fully  occupied. 

Research  is  the  means  by  which  the 
sum  of  human  knowledge  is  increased. 
"It  is  research  and  research  only,"  said 
one  professor  recently,  "that  makes  life 
worth  living."  To  discover  something 
new  in  Geology,  in  Physics,  in  Chemistry, 
in  Literature,  in  History,  in  any  subject, 
is  to  feel  something  of  the  thrill  that  came 
to  Columbus  when  he  discovered  America. 
To  investigate  is  to  make  progress.  He 
who  is  content  with  what  he  already 
knows  may  be  able  to  teach  but  he  must, 
in  the  nature  of  things,  gradually  go  back- 
ward and  not  forward  because  there  are 
always  new  worlds  of  knowledge  to  be 
conquered. 


Teaching  and  research  go  hand  in  hand  ; 
they  should  not  be  separated.  The  true 
teacher  is  an  investigator;  the  researcher

must  pass  on  the  results  of  his  investiga- 
tions to  his  students  and  train  them  in 
research  methods.  And  for  this  reason 
it  is  essential  that  the  university  professor 
should  not  be  so  over-burdened  with 
teaching  that  he  has  no  time  for  research. 
A  fairly  equal  allocation  of  time  for  the 
two  purposes  is  ideal.  But  in  the  Uni- 
versity of  Toronto,  teaching,  reading  exer- 
cises, and  marking  examination  papers 
tend  more  and  more  to  crowd  out  research 
for,  like  art,  research  "is  long  and  time  is 
fleeting."  Many  professors  spend  most  of 
their  spare  time  in  winter  and  practically 
all  of  their  time  in  summer  in  delving  more 
deeply  into  the  intricacies  of  their  subjects, 
and  the  undergraduates  in  their  classes 
reap  the  benefit.  The  public,  too,  reap 
the  benefit. 

Scientific    research    is    of    the    greatest 
consequence    in    the    development    of    a 


Corner  of  the  Physical  Laboratories  which  are  under  the 
direction  of  Professor  J.  C.  McLennan,  one  of  the  foremost 
research  workers  in  Canada.  During  the  war  Professor 
McLennan  was  Director  of  Research  for  the  British 
Admiralty. 

country's  national  resources  in  farm,  forest, 
factory,  mine,  and  waters.  But,  for  scienti- 
fic research  expensive  apparatus  is  re- 
quired, also  much  time,  much  patience, 
much  indefatigable  exertion;  results  may 
be  very  slow  in  coming  or,  on  the  other 
hand,  an  important  discovery  may  be 
suddenly  and  perhaps  accidentally  made. 
Scientific  research  costs  money  but  the 
University  of  Toronto  has  available  for 
this  purpose  just  about  one-third  of  the 
funds  which,  in  a  young  and  growing 
province,  should  be  devoted  annually  to 
a  type  of  work  which  is  fundamentally 
essential  to  the  country's  development. 
The  importance  of  research  is  realized  by 
those  successful  industrial  enterprises  which 


maintain  at  great  expense  large  research 
departments. 

What  would  it  be  worth  to  Ontario  to 
know  of  an  effective  remedy  for  wheat 
rust?  for  needle  blight  in  pine?  Is  the 
Province  benefited  when  new  dyes,  are 
discovered,  when  something  more  is  learned 
of  the  constitution  of  rubber,  and  of  the 
strength  of  concrete  beams?  Is  it  im- 
portant that  doctors  and  medical  students 
should  spend  many  hours  and  many 
days  studying  about  whooping  cough  and 
rickets,  diphtheria,  influenza,  and  pneu- 
monia, bone  formation  and  diabetes?  Is  a 
public  service  rendered  when  specialists 
investigate  the  cause  and  prevention  of 
malnutrition  in  children,  the  rate  of  growth 
of  pickerel,  the  liquefaction  of  helium,  the 
effects  of  cold  storage?  Something  over 
two  hundred  such  problems,  some  of  them 
too  technical  in  designation  to  enumerate 
in  a  general  article  but  none  the  less 
practical  in  their  application  to  the  in- 
dustries of  the  Province,  are  now  under 
investigation  in  the  laboratories  of  the 
Provincial  University.  And  the  professor 
who  makes  the  discovery  has  as  his  sole 
reward  the  joy  of  breaking  new  ground  in 
the  world  of  knowledge. 

A  practical,  hard-headed  business  man 
remarked,  after  reading  the  newspaper 
accounts  of  discoveries  described  at  the 
meetings  during  Christmas  week  of  the 
American  Association  for  the  Advance- 
ment of  Science,  "It  would  pay  any 
country,  would  pay  it  in  actual  dollars  and 
cents,  to  select  twenty  skilled  researchers, 
pay  them  $25,000  a  year  each,  provide 
them  with  all  necessary  equipment,  and 
turn  them  loose  to  do  as  they  pleased 
without  question.  The  cost  would  be 
reckoned  in  thousands;  the  results  of  their 
discoveries  would  be  worth  millions." 
Great  Britain,  the  United  States,  France, 
Italy,  and  Japan  have  learned  this  "secret", 
have  learned  it  in  a  hard  school,  and  know 
that  research  is  worth  all,  and  many  times 
more  than  all,  the  money  spent  on  it. 
Scientific  research  was  potent  in  war;  the 
duty  of  the  hour  is  to  allow  it  to  demon- 
strate its  power  in  peace. 

The  University  of  Toronto  needs  and 
needs  badly,  an  adequate  fund  for  research. 
Money  spent  for  this  purpose  is  invested 
in  the  greatest  wealth-producing  agency 
the  Province  possesses. 


The  Need  of  a  Canadian  Graduate  School 


ASK  the  optimist  what  the  world  most 
needs   at   the   present   time   and   he 
replies,    "Leadership — leadership    to 
direct  man  so  that  he  may   take  advan- 
tage   of    the  many  golden    opportunities 
around  him".    Ask  the  pessimist,  the  mal- 
content, and  he,  too,  replies,  "Leadership-

The  cry  of  the  civilized  world  is  for  leader-

universities.     Such  has  been  the  case  for 


centuries  and  such  it  will  be  for  centuries      resulted,  and  will  result,  in  a  loss  of  this 


to  come,  because  it  is .  always  true  that 
''Knowledge  is  Power". 

As  civilization  grows  older  the  sum  of 
human  knowledge  increases,  old  standards 
of  education  are  found  to  be  too  low,  new 
and  higher  standards  must  be  devised. 
The  degree  of  bachelor  of  arts  was  once 
the  copestone  of  a  liberal  education. 
Now,  though  much  enriched  in  content 
and  in  quality,  the  various  courses  cul- 
minating in  university  graduation  are  not 
enough  for  earnest  seekers  after  know- 
ledge for  its  own  sake  and  graduation  is 
only  the  beginning  of  education.  The 
prizes  in  the  educational  world  are  open 
now  only  to  those  who  have  done  post- 
graduate work.  These  post-graduate  stu- 
dents are  the  potential  leaders  of  their 
generation. 

Only  leaders  can  properly  train  leaders. 
Hence,  a  modern  university  must  have 
the  very  best,  the  most  highly  trained, 
the  most  competent  and  aggressive  pro- 
fessors in  its  chairs.  To  these,  good 
salaries  not  only,  but  also  ideal  academic 
conditions  appeal.  And  these  two  necessi- 
ties depend  on  the  amount  of  money  avail- 
able. The  University  of  Toronto  has 
always  had  some  of  the  most  able  and 
the  most  inspiring  of  instructors  but  it 
has  not  now,  and  never  has  had,  enough 
of  them.  Undergraduate  work  requires 
the  major  part  of  the  time,  and  the  neces- 
sary attention  to  post-graduate  instruction 
is  therefore  not  possible.  An  increase  of 
staff  is  essential. 

The  result  of  this  condition  has  been 
that  many  of  the  brightest  Ontario  minds 
have  emigrated  to  the  universities  of  the 


kind? 

There  is  another  side  to  this  condition. 
United  States  universities  can  offer  numer- 
ous graduate  fellowships  which  attract 
men  and  women  of  this  type  because  the

holding  of  these  fellowships  enables  them 
to  secure  advanced  education  at  little  or 
no  expense.  The  University  of  Toronto 
has  few  graduate  fellowships  to  offer. 
President  Falconer  hopes  to  secure  from 
commercial  firms  ten  such  fellowships  of 
the  value  of  $500  each  to  offer  next  session 
to  graduates  of  Western  and  Eastern 
universities  who  may  be  induced  thereby 
to  pursue  post-graduate  studies  in  On- 
tario's Provincial  University.  So  far,  five 
have  been  obtained — the  man  on  the  street 
would  say  that  there  should  be  a  hundred ! 
The  President  calls  these  graduate 
fellowships  ua  factor  in  Canadian  Unity". 
Let  one  story  illustrate  his  meaning.  A 
young  Icelander  was  brought  while  still 
an  infant  to.  Saskatchewan.  He  never 
saw  or  knew  Eastern  Canada.  At  the 
University  of  Saskatchewan  he  proved 
to  be  an  exceptionally  brilliant  student. 
On  graduation  he  went  to  the  University 
of  Chicago  because  a  postgraduate  fellow- 
ship was  open  to  him  there  and  none  such 
was  available  at  the  University  of  Toronto. 
When  he  returns,  as  he  hopes  to  do,  to 
teach  in  some  Western  University,  what 
can  he  know,  what  can  he  teach,  of  the 
Dominion  of  Canada?  He  knows  only 
the  West  and  the  United  States.  His 
case  is  typical.  Is  not  this  lack  of  graduate 
fellowships  driving  a  wedge,  an  intellectual 


wedge,  between  Eastern  and  Western 
Canada?  No  one  would  wish  to  say  a 
word  against  good  relations  between 
Canada  and  the  United  States  but  surely 
the  strongest  intellectual,  educational,  re- 
ligious and  economic  links  should  be 
between  East  and  West.  Graduate  stu- 
dents will  come  from  the  West  if  oppor- 
tunities are  offered  them  here.  (Western 
universities  are  not  at  present  doing  much 
graduate  work.)  One  of  the  most  vital 
problems  of  the  day  is  the  deepening  of 
the  spirit  of  unity  throughout  the  Do- 
minion. 

The  two  patriotic  considerations  above 
outlined  are  by  no  means  theoretical. 
They  are,  on  the  contrary,  intensely 
practical.  One  hundred  and  eighty-five 
(an  increase  of  twenty-two)  graduate 
students  are  this  year  working  at  the 
University  of  Toronto  towards  post- 
graduate degrees.  Canada  needs  the 
services  of  these  highly-trained  experts 
and  of  many  others  of  the  same  type. 
With  more  money  for  the  development 
of  graduate  work  the  present  number 
might  easily  be  doubled  in  a  very  short 
'time  and  the  exodus  of  Canada's  brain- 
power might  be  stayed. 

Funds  used  for  education  are  not  spent 
but  are  invested.  From  such  investments 
Ontario  will  reap  rich  dividends. 


The  New  Entrance  Requirements  in  Arts 

By  W.  J.DUNLOP,  B.A. 
DIRECTOR,  UNIVERSITY  EXTENSION,  UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO 


THE  public  may  be  interested  in 
knowing  the  circumstances  which 
led  to  the  recent  increase  in .  en- 
trance requirements  in  the  Faculties  of 
Arts  in  Ontario  universities.  It  often 
happens  that  the  purpose  actuating 
changes  of  this  kind  is  misconstrued  De- 
cause  it  is  misunderstood.  It  will  be  found 
that  the  changes  made  recently  are  really 
to  the  great  advantage  of  the  average  boy 
or  girl  coming  from  the  country  to  a 
university. 

One  of  the  difficulties  with  which  any 
university  has  to  contend  is  the  fact  that 
there  are  a  good  many  young  people  who 
are  more  interested  in  the  social  than  in 
the  academic  life  of  a  university.  Such 
students  rarely  come  from  country  or 


village  homes.  The  country  boy  and  the 
country  girl  come  to  university  to  study 
and  they  do  study. 

Faced  with  the  dilemma  which  the  less 
earnest  type  of  student  produces,  faced 
also  with  the  fact  that  literally  scores  of 
such  students  fail  each  year  in  their 
examinations,  the  Universities  of  Ontario 
are  driven  to  the  necessity  of  raising  their 
entrance  standards.  But  this  has  been 
done  solely  for  the  purpose  of  barring  out 
the  student  who  is  too  immature  or  whose 
previous  education  is  too  meagre  to  enable 
him  to  take  advantage  at  his  present  stage 
of  the  work  which  the  University  has  to 
offer  him. 

At  a  conference  of  the  four  universities— 
the  University  of  Toronto,  Queen's  Uni-

versity,  McMaster  University,  and  West- 
ern University — the  following  conditions 
of  entrance  to  the  First  Year  were  un- 
animously agreed  upon  to  take  effect  in 
1923: 

1.  Candidates  for  admission  to  the  Pass 
Course  of  the  First  Year  will  be  required 
not  only  to  have  complete  Pass  Matricula- 
tion, but  also  to  present  additional  evidence 
of  fitness  to  profit  by  attendance  on  lectures 
in  the  University. 

2.  While    each    university   must   deter- 
mine for  itself  what  additional  evidence  it 
will  in  individual  cases  deem  satisfactory, 
all   the   universities   accept   the   following 
qualifications    as    sufficient    evidence    to 
justify  admission: 

(a)^  Credit  (50%)  at  the  Honour 
Matriculation  Examination  in  two  of 
English,  Latin,  French,  Algebra  and 
Geometry,  Greek  or  German  or  Spanish, 
Physics  and  Chemistry,  or  Biology. 
or 

(b)  At  least  75%  at  the  Pass  Matri- 
culation   Examination    in   each    of   any 
four  of  the  twelve  papers  required;    or 
at  least  66%  in  each  of  any  six  of  the 
twelve    papers,    with    adjustment    from 
time  to  time  as  the  results  of  the  new 
organization  of  the  Secondary  Schools 
become  more  definitely  known. 

or 

(c)  Certificate   of    having   completed 
the  course  at  an  Ontario  Normal  School 
(in  addition,  of  course,  to  Pass  Matricu- 
lation). 

3.  No    university    will    announce    any 
lower    qualifications    as   acceptable,  while 
there  may  be  a  general   intimation   that 
other  evidence  may  be  submitted  for  con- 
sideration   and    also    that    candidates    of 
mature  years   may  be  admitted  without 
other  than  Pass  Matriculation  standing. 

4.  Attention  is  drawn  to  the  fact  that 
candidates  may  be  admitted  to  the  Pass 
Course  of  the  Second  Year  by  presenting 
certificates    of    credit    obtained    at    the 
Honour    Matriculation    or    Upper   School 
Examination. 

In  brief,  then,  there  are  five  different 
avenues  for  entering  the  First  Year  in  an 
Ontario  university;  first,  with  at  least  two 
Honour  Matriculation  subjects  in  addition 
to  Pass  Matriculation;  second,  with  Pass 
Matriculation  including  75%  in  any  four 
papers;  third,  with  Pass  Matriculation, 


including  66%  in  any  six  papers;  fourth, 
with  a  Second  Class  professional  certificate 
in  addition  to  Pass  Matriculation;  fifth, 
as  a  student  of  mature  years  with  Pass 
Matriculation  only. 

A  careful  study  of  the  above  regulations 
will  show  that  2(6)  was  quite  obviously 
adopted  so  that  the  small  Continuation 
Schools  of  the  Province  will  be  just  as  well 
able  to  prepare  students  for  the  univer- 
sities as  will  the  larger  High  Schools  and 
Collegiate  Institutes.  This  is  the  answer 
to  any  suggestion  that  the  changes  might 
involve  increased  cost. 

Nor  do  these  regulations  involve  an 
expenditure  of  any  additional  time.  The 
clause  already  referred  to  does  require  that 
the  student  work  hard  enough  to  secure  a 
really  good  standing  on  his  year's  work. 
Hence  this  clause  is  really  aimed  at 
"loafing".  Another  advantage  of  this 
same  clause  is  that,  should  a  student  fail 
to  secure  the  necessary  standing  at  his 
first  attempt,  he  can  continue  for  another 
year  in  the  home  school. 

Clause  2(c)  exemplifies  the  purpose  of  the 
whole  change,  viz.:  that  the  mature  stud- 
ent is  sought.  A  teacher,  or  one  who  has 
completed  the  work  necessary  for  a  Second 
Class  professional  certificate,  needs  nothing 
in  addition  to  Pass  Matriculation  except 
his  teacher's  certificate.  Hence  it  is 
obvious  that  the  mature  student  is  the 
student  that  the  university  wants.  Clause 
3  is  an  additional  indication  of  the  same 
desideratum.  Undoubtedly  the  change  is 
in  the  interests  of  democracy.  It  is  in- 
tended to  protect  the  interests  of  the 
youth  of  the  Province  by  making  it  worth 
their  while  to  study  hard  while  they  have 
the  opportunity.  It  involves  no  additional 
cost  to  the  average  parent,  no  increase  in 
the  length  of  the  course.  In  brief,  this 
increase  in  standard  is  just  such  a  regula- 
tion as  any  sensible  parent  would  make 
who  saw  that  his  children  were  not  studying 
as  well  as  they  should.  Any  university,  no 
matter  how  large  it  may  be,  welcomes  stud- 
ents of  the  industrious  type. 

It  is,  perhaps,  only  natural  that  new 
entrance  requirements  should,  at  first,  be 
subject  to  a  certain  amount  of  Criticism 
but  it  is  felt  that,  when  the  new  scheme 
is  thoroughly  understood,  it  will  meet  with 
the  unanimous  approval  of  all  who  are 
interested  in  the  welfare  of  education  in 
this  Province. 


Miss  Ruby  Mason,  Dean  of  Women  at  Illinois 

By  EMMY  LOU  CARTER,  '12 


MISS  RUBY  E.  C.  MASON,  a  grad- 
uate of  University  College,  has  had 
the  honour  of  being  chosen  Dean 
of  Women  of  the  University  of  Illinois. 

She  obtained  her  preliminary  education 
from  Stratford  Collegiate  Institute,  and 
Perth  County  Model  School  before  enter- 
ing the  University  of  Toronto  in  1891. 
Four  years  later  she  took  her  B.A.  degree, 
and,  in  1899,  her  M.A.  She  also  graduated 
from  the  Ontario  School  of  Pedagogy. 

The  following  years  are  replete  with 
unremitting  effort  and  crowned  with  splen- 
did achievement.  She  had  both  the 
ambition  and  the  ability  to  carry  on  two 
lines  of  work  at  the  same  time.  While 
teaching  in  the  East  High  School  of 
Aurora,  Illinois,  she  completed  two  years' 
work  at  the  Chicago  College  of  Law. 
Miss  Mason  then  became  principal  of  the 
High  School  at  Wellsville,  Ohio,  where  she 
remained  for  ten  years.  Subsequently, 
she  ^became  principal  of  Stanley  Hall, 
Minneapolis,  for  one  year,  after  which  she 


MISS  RUBY  MASON 


went  to  Europe  for  study  and  research  work. 

In  collaboration  with  her  brother,  Mr 
J.  A.  C.  Mason,  a  graduate  of  University 
College  of  1900,  she  spent  a  year  in  London 
and  Oxford  in  research  work  on  the  com- 
mercial treaties  of  1783.  During  this  time 
she  also  attended  lectures  in  nineteenth 
century  history  and  English  at  the  Uni- 
versity of  Oxford.  Later  Miss  Mason  and 
her  brother  continued  their  research  work 
in  Paris. 

On  her  return  to  America  she  was  given 
appointments  of  ever  increasing  responsi- 
bility. She  was  first  appointed  Professor 
of  English  and  Dean  of  the  College  at 
Ward  Belmont,  Nashville,  Tennessee.  In 
1914  she  took  up  the  duties  of  Dean  of 
Women  and  Lecturer  in  English  at  Indiana 
University.  Four  years  later  she  became 
Dean  of  Women  at  the  University  of 
Illinois,  whose  total  enrolment  last  year 
was  9,493,  of  which  2,336  were  women. 

The  women's  residence  system  in  the 
University  of  Illinois  combines  the  ad- 
vantages of  small  groups  with  large  groups 
of  students.  There  are  many  residences 
accommodating  a  comparatively  small 
number  of  students,  with  a  head  over  each 
residence.  The  Students'  Union,  or  ad- 
ministrative building,  containing  com- 
mittee rooms,  recreation  rooms,  etc.,  is  the 
centre  for  the  student  life  of  the  College. 
Once  a  week  the  Dean  calls  a  meeting  of 
the  executive  heads  of  the  various  resi- 
dences to  discuss  matters  of  constitution 
and  management. 

Miss  Mason  has  proved  herself  fully 
capable  of  filling  the  responsible  and 
difficult  position  which  she  holds.  Her 
extensive  academic  training,  her  broad 
experience,  and  her  personality  have  com- 
bined to  make  her  wonderfully  successful 
as  Dean  of  Women  in  a  large  university. 
She  is  very  much  interested  in  the  School 
of  Journalism  in  the  University  of  Illinois, 
which  publishes  the  largest  university 
daily  in  the  world. 

Miss  Mason  attributes  no  small  degree 
of  her  success  to  the  inspiration  of  the 
members  of  the  faculty  in  her  under- 
graduate days.  "I  had  but  one  half  year

R.  W.  Dickie,  a  Radical  Conservative 

By  E.  J.  ARCHIBALD,  '05,  EXECUTIVE  EDITOR,  Montreal  Daily  Star 


IT  is  a  fine  thing  to  be  a  radical  Con- 
servative. It  tends  to  give  one  an 
unbiased  viewpoint  and  a  calmly 
judicial  atmosphere.  If  to  this  be  added 
a  full  measure  of  optimism,  another  of 
kindly  tolerance  and  still  another  of  faith 
in  and  sympathy  with  the  feelings  and 
foibles  of  human  nature,  the  combination 
conies  close  to  being  ideal.  Its  happy 
possessor  strikes  his  foundation  down  to 
bedrock,  catches  all  the  sunshine  there  is 
and  refuses  to  be  blown  about  by  changing 
winds. 

This  is  merely  another  way  of  saying 
that  the  Rev.  "Bob"  Dickie,  one  time 
Varsity  undergrad,  presently  pastor  of 
Knox  Crescent  Church,  Montreal,  has 
succeeded  better  than  most  of  us  in  filling 
himself  out  and  building  himself  up  to  the 
full  measure  of  a  man.  There  is  nothing 
of  the  "cloister's  stillness  and  seclusion" 
about  the  Rev.  Robert  William  Dickie, 
B.A.,  D.D.  One  cannot  imagine  him 
under  any  circumstances  shutting  himself 
away  and  devoting  himself  to  the  con- 
templative life.  One  can  imagine  him  if 
the  cause  justified  it  putting  up  one  of  the 
bonniest  scraps  that  the  church  militant 
ever  sanctioned. 

Robert  William  Dickie  was  born  at 
Hyde  Park,  Ontario,  on  the  25th  of 
January,  1873,  the  son  of  George  Dickie 
and  Allie  (McDonald)  Dickie,  daughter  of 
a  famous  Western  Ontario  Presbyterian 
divine,  the  Rev.  A.  D.  McDonald  of 
Seaforth.  He  imbibed  the  elements  of  his 
education  at  the  "Little  Red  Schoolhouse" 
—in  itself  a  bid  for  future  prominence. 
From  there  he  went  to  the  London  Collegi- 
ate and  from  there  in  turn  to  Varsity. 
By  '94  he  had  got  about  all  that  Toronto 
had  to  give  him  and  wandered  over  to 
Edinburgh — that  home  of  Presbyterianism 
|  triumphant — where  he  put  a  brilliant 
polish  on  the  educational  structure  he  had 
erected. 


In  1898  he  was  back  in  Canada  again  and 
had  started  on  his  life's  work  as  minister 
of  St  Andrew's  Church,  Orangeville.  In 
1903  he  turns  up  at  Brandon — which  in 
those  days  was  considerably  less  of  a  place 
than  it  is  now.  Brandon  held  him  for 
five  years  but  the  call  of  the  wild  came  to 
him  and  by  1909  he  was  piloting  Knox 
Church,  Montreal,  one  of  the  biggest 
Presbyterian  churches  in  Eastern  Canada, 
and  has  been  in  charge  there  ever  since. 

It  did  not  take  him  very  long  to  develop 
a  special  interest  in  the  somewhat  difficult 
school  situation  in  Montreal.  The  English- 
speaking  Protestants  are,  of  course,  a  small 
minority  of  the  population  of  the  island  of

Mount  Royal  and  it  is  not  always  easy  for 
them  to  maintain  their  schools  at  the  high 
pitch  of  excellence  which  a  modern  city 
demands.  It  is  perhaps  no  exaggeration 
to  say  that  more  hard  work  has  gone  into 
the  cause  of  non-Catholic  English-speaking 
education  in  Montreal  than  anywhere  else 
in  Canada.  But  the  results  have  justified 
the  work  and  Mr  Dickie  has  been  almost 
from  the  beginning  of  his  career  in  Mon- 
treal entirely  and  prominently  associated 
with  the  Protestant  Board  of  School 
Commissioners.  In  1918  they  made  him 
President  of  it,  whereupon  he  fell  to  with 
greater  vigour  than  ever.  If  there  were 
any  cobwebs  or  dust  around  the  School 
Commission  at  one  time  they  are  not 
there  now. 

School  in  Mr  Dickie's  viewpoint  is  not 
a  penal  institute.  He  can't  for  the  life  of 
him  see  why  both  teacher  and  pupil  should 
not  get  something  out  of  going  to  school. 
He  has  set  himself  to  improve  the  curri- 
culum for  the  scholar  and  conditions  for 
the  teacher.  Moreover,  he  has  striven 
hard  to  make  the  city  school  something  of 
a  community  centre  and  a  thing  of  beauty 
rather  than  an  eyesore. 

In  other  words,  what  Mr  Dickie  has 
done  in  his  school  work  has  been  entirely 
consistent  with  the  aims  and  objects  of 
his  whole  career,  which  is  just  another  way 
of  saying  that  he  is  a  fervent  and  active 
advocate  of  practical  democracy.  It  may 
have  been  a  concession  to  this  spirit  of 
democracy  which  led  to  one  of  the  three 
resolutions  which  he  is  said  to  have  made 
early  in  his  ministerial  career.  He  made 


a  resolve  that  he  would  never  wear  a  gown, 
never  re-read  his  Hebrew  Bible,  and  never 
give  up  family  prayers.  However,  an 
admiring  committee  of  ladies  blew  the 
first  of  these  resolutions  sky  high  by 
presenting  him  with  a  voluminous  black 
gown,  which  he  wears  out  of  deference  to 
them.  Rumour  has  it  that  he  has  been 
compelled  to  do  some  research  in  the 
Hebrew  Testament  once  or  twice  but  his 
third  resolve  stands  like  a  rock. 

Here  is  where  his  conservative  radicalism 
comes  in.  He  can  be  as  radical  as  the 
next  one  where  most  things  are  concerned, 
but  on  the  basic  granite  of  principle  he  is 
as  conservative  as  they  make  them. 
Whenever  he  meets  Apollyon,  whether  in 
the  church,  on  the  street,  or  in  the  market 
place,  he  takes  a  whirl  at  him,  Sundays 
or  week  days  alike.  "I  have  no  apologies 
to  make  for  trying  to  impress  the  impor- 
tance of  the  church's  possibilities  and  its 
power  on  business  men  in  their  every- 
day affairs"  is  the  way  he  puts  it. 

A  few  months  ago,  at  a  Varsity  Alumni 
dinner,  they  put  a  cardboard  crown  on  his 
head,  a  tissue  paper  robe  over  his  shoulders, 
gave  him  a  wand  of  office  and  made  him 
President  of  the  Montreal  Branch  of  the 
Alumni  Association.  Since  then  he  has 
chased  the  defaulters  and  careless  ones 
with  pious  and  mirthful  zeal. 

Robert  William  Dickie  is  the  sort  of  man 
a  community  needs — the  sort  of  graduate 
a  university  should  be  proud  to  have. 
He  is  doing  great  work  in  Montreal. 
He  would  do  great  work  no  matter  where 
he  might  be.

Lecture  Series 
An  Outstanding  Success 

The  course  of  free  public  lectures  given 
under  the  auspices  of  the  Alumni  Federa- 
tion has  been  adjudged, a  complete  success. 
The  object  of  the  course  was  to  spread  the 
influence  of  the  University  in  the  city  of 
Toronto,  to  bring  to  the  University  people 
who  do  not  ordinarily  attend  public 
lectures. 

The  committee  in  charge  feel  that  this 
object  was  achieved.  General  public 
interest  was  clearly  evidenced,  many  people 
sitting  for  the  first  time  in  Convocation 
Hall.  For  the  six  lectures  the  average 
attendance  was  approximately  1,000,  and 
on  two  occasions  several  hundred  people 
were  unable  to  gain  admittance.  This  in 
spite  of  the  somewhat  technical  nature  of 
some  of  the  discourses. 

On  the  occasion  of  Professor  McLennan 's 
lecture  on  "The  Disruption  of  Atoms  with 
a  Consequent  Release  of  Atomic  Energy" 
which  because  of  the  apparatus  required 
was  given  in  the  Physics  Building,  more 
people  were  turned  away  than  were  able 
to  secure  seats,  although  the  seating 
capacity  of  the  auditorium  is  600. 

Many  requests  that  the  series  be  pro- 
longed have  been  received  but  it  has  been 
decided  not  to  make  further  arrangements 
this  year. 

The  Board  of  Directors'  Sub-committee 
on  Publicity  consisting  of  John  R.  Bone, 
Chairman,  E.  P.  Brown,  C.  Lesslie  Wilson, 
W.  A.  Craick,  and  J.  C.  Ross  were  in 
charge  of  the  series.  Mr  Dunlop  lent  very 
valuable  assistance. 


The  Hart  House  Play 

One  of  the  most  difficult  productions  of  the 
Players'  Club  session  was  given  the  third  week  of 
March,  the  play  being  Isben's  "  Rosmerholm". 

Raymond  Massey  played  the  part  of  Rosmer  and 
Miss  Grace  Webster  that  of  Rebecca  West.  Other 
members  of  the  cast  were  Mrs  Kenneth  McMillan, 
Mr  Bertram  Forsyth,  Mr  Joseph  DePencier,  and 
Mr  Ivor  Lewis.  In  spite  of  the  exacting  nature  of 
the  piece  the  interpretation  was  excellent. 

The  next  play  to  be  given  is  a  Canadian  one, 
"The  God  of  Gods,"  by  Carroll  Aikens.  The  final 
production  of  the  session  will  be  "Tempest,"  during 
Commencement  week.

Correspondence 

The  Editor,  UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO  MONTHLY. 

Dear  Mr.  Editor: 

,  May  I  point  out  to  you  that  the  twenty-fifth 
edition  of  Rules  for  Compositors  and  Readers  at  the 
University  Press,  Oxford,  by  Horace  Hart,  M.A., 
Printer  to  the  University,  has  now  appeared  and 
may  be  obtained  at  the  price  of  two  shillings  net? 
And  may  I  venture  to  suggest  that  it  should  be 
adopted  and  used  in  our  own  University  Press  to 
insure  uniformity,  precision,  accuracy?  A  hasty 
glance  over  your  March  issue,  excellent  as  it  is, 
shows  it  to  be  marred  by  such  misspellings  and 
solecisms  as  "connection"  for  "connexion",  "de- 
velopes"  for  "develops"  and  "reflection"  for 
"reflexion".  The  quotation  on  page  238  of  a 
paragraph  or  sentence  from  Lord  Milner's  pre- 
sidential address  to  the  Classical  Association  of 
England,  made  by  Mr  Angus  MacMurchy,  contains 
a  lesson  which  we  have  great  need  to  take  to  heart 
after  it  has  been  "read,  marked,  learned  and 
i  nwardly  digested' ' .  Reflexion  is  here  spelled  in  the 
form  to  which  I  take  exception,  and  quite  possibly 
it  was  so  in  the  original,  for  in  the  authority  I 
desire  to  impose  in  our  own  Printing  House  this 
note  occurs,  "Etymology  is  in  favour  of  reflexion, 
but  usage  seems  to  be  overpoweringly  in  favour  of 
the  other  spelling,"  and  the  note  is  made  by 
Dr  Henry  Bradley,  making  it  almost  unanswerable. 
Let  me,  however,  raise  a  despairing  and  expiring 
cry  against  the  too  easy  acceptance  of  mos  pro  lege 
in  a  University  to  which  men  should  look  for 
instruction,  and  guidance  by  example.  Longum 
iter  est  per  precepta,  breve  et  effices  per  exempla. 

Yours  faithfully, 

I.  H.  CAMERON.

The  Editor,  UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO  MONTHLY. 

Dear  Sir: 

At  the  risk  of  undermining  the  profound  con- 
tempt expressed  by  F.  A.  M.  in  your  last  number 
for  squash  racquets  I  would  like  to  make  known  the 
figures  that  follow. 

Since  January  1st  of  this  year  223  different 
players  have  reserved  courts;  of  these  27%  have 
been  graduate  members  of  Hart  House,  the  re- 
mainder undergraduates;  of  this  27%  one  half  have 
been  graduates  not  belonging  to  the  staff;  that 
means  that  rather  less  than  one-sixth  of  the  players 
of  the  game  come  under  the  heading  "professors, 
associate  professors,  or  lecturers". 

Yours  faithfully, 

A.  F.  COVENTRY, 

Chairman  of  Squash  Committee. 

[We  feel  safe  in  assuring  Mr  Coventry  that 
F.  A.  M.  did  not  feel  nor  intend  to  express 
"  contempt "  for  any  members  of  the  staff  who 
play  squash  racquets.  He  was  asked  for  "some- 
thing humorous"  on  professors  playing  squash  and 
in  an  effort  to  amuse,  yielded  to  the  modern  ten- 
dency to  be  satirical.  If  the  subject  is  not  one 
which  admits  of  humour,  we  apologize. — EDITOR]. 


'Canadian  Constitutional  Studies.  By  Sir  Robert 
Borden.  University  of  Toronto  Press.  $1.00 
postpaid. 

Sir  Robert  Borden's  lectures  on  the  Canadian 
Constitution  delivered  under  the  Marfleet  Founda- 
tion at  the  University  last  autumn  have  been 
published  by  the  University  Press.  The  lectures 
deal  with  constitutional  developments  during  three 
periods:  from  Cession  to  Federation,  from  Con- 
federation to  the  World  War,  and  from  the  aut- 
break  of  war  until  the  present. 

Those  who  heard  the  lectures  will  need  no  word 
of  their  excellence.  They  constitute  an  exceedingly 
able  survey  of  Canada's  constitutional  growth. 
As  now  published  they  are  sure  to  have  a  wide 
distribution  among  those  interested  in  Canadian 
institutions  and  politics. 

The  volume  is  attractively  printed  (162  pages) 
and  is  sold  for  $1.00  postpaid.

The  University  and  the  other  public  institutions 
of  Toronto  have  suffered  a  severe  loss  in  the  death 
of  Dr  George  Arthur  Bingham  following  an  attack 
of  pneumonia.  Dr  Bingham  graduated  from 
Trinity  Medical  College  in  1884  and  was  a  member 
of  the  Ontario  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons. 
He  served  as  assistant  anatomical  demonstrator 
until  1889,  when  he  was  made  Professor  of  Anatomi-

Dr  Bingham  was  held  in  high  esteem  by  his 
medical  colleagues  and  by  the  institutions  with 
which  he  was  connected,  he  was  a  senator  of  the 
University  of  Toronto,  a  past  president  of  the 
Ontario  Medical  Society,  and  in  the  year  1907 
became  head  of  the  surgical  service  of  the  Toronto 
General  Hospital.  He  was  also  a  consulting 
physician  on  the  staff  of  the  Hospital  for  Sick 
Children.  His  funeral  was  held  from  Convocation 
Hall  and  was  attend^/I  by  the  officers  and  under- 
graduates of  the  University  that  he  had  served  so 
well.

Misses  Margaret  Shorthill,  Helen  Carlyle,  and 
Helen  Currie,  and  Messrs  Richard  Meech  and 
Walter  Graham.  The  last  two  hours  were  devoted 
to  dances,  among  which  a  long-continued  "Paul 
Jones"  was  the  universal  favourite.  The  party 
broke  up  at  11.15,  when  every  one  was  enjoying 
himself. 

It  was  discovered  later  that  not  one  yell  of  any 
kind  had  been  given  during  the  evening.  This  was 
taken  by  Professor  G.  M.  Smith,  the  guest  of  the 
evening,  as  a  sign  of  the  progress  we  have  made  in 
six  years.  G.  A.  L.  GIBSON.

\Y/HEN  you  consider  that  manufactui  ng  Boilers 
and  Radiators  is  our  first  and  biggest  responsi- 
bility— When  you  bear  in  mind  that  we  are  the  largest 
manufacturers  of  Boilers  and  Radiators  in  the  Dominion 
of  Canada.  Is  it  any  wonder  that  the  SAFFORD 
MOGUL  line  is  the  last  word  in  heating  boilers  ? 

Every  MOGUL  leaving  our  plant  is  inspected  uy  a 
staff  of  specialists  men  who  know  the  manufacture  of 
boilers  from  A  to  Z,  and  that  is  why  the  SAFFORD 
MOGUL  makes  good  every  time  and  all  the  time.

Graduate 
Representation 
on  Governing 
Bodies 


Mr  Thomas  Marshall's  suggestions  re- 
garding changes  in  the  government  of  the 
University,  made  in 
the  Legislature  and  re- 
ported elsewhere  in 
this  issue,  are  refresh- 
ing. Mr  Marshall's 
remarks  were  made  in 
a  spirit  of  helpful,  constructive  criticism. 
He  has  nothing  but  goodwill  for  the  Uni- 
versity, and  while  many  graduates  will  not 
see  eye  to  eye  with  him  in  his  conclusions, 
yet  all  will  applaud  the  interest  he  is 
showing  in  his  Alma  Mater. 

Mr  Marshall  lamented  the  lack  of  in- 
terest in  the  University  on  the  part  of  the 
graduates  and  declared  that  this  was  due 
in  large  part  to  the  fact  that  the  graduates 
had  no  corporate  part  in  the  actual  govern- 
ment of  the  University. 

It  is  true  that  the  graduates  as  such  have 
little  authority  in  the  University's  ad- 
ministration. They  are  represented  on 
the  Senate  to  the  extent  of  about  one- 
quarter  of  its  membership,  but  the  average 
graduate  takes  but  small  interest  in  the 
Senate  elections  and  those  who  are  elected 
do  not,  we  fear,  attend  its  meetings  very 
regularly.  The  work  of  the  Senate  is  done 
chiefly  through  its  committees  and  through 
the  Faculty  Councils,  and  the  average 
graduate  Senator  finds  himself  out  of  touch 
with  the  academic  details  which  are  pre- 
sented to  the  Senate  for  approval. 

In  the  business  administration  of  the 
University,  the  graduate  body  is  repre- 
sented by  the  Chancellor,  who  is  ex-officio 
member  of  the  Board  of  Governors.  At 
present  there  are  also  e;gbt  graduates  on 
the  Board^The  Ron  R.  A.  Pyne,  Judge 
Snider,  Archdeacon  Cody,  Dr  D.  B. 
Macdonald,  Mr  Eric  Armour,  Mr  W.  C. 
Good,  Mr  T.  A.  Russell  and  Mr  Vincent 
Massey — but  these  are  in  no  sense  repre- 
sentatives of  the  graduates,  being  appointees 
of  the  Government. 

Graduate  representation  on  the  govern- 
ing bodies  of  the  University  is  in  every 


way  desirable,  and  it  would  be  to  the  ad- 
vantage of  the  University  if  the  present 
representation  were  increased.  Graduates 
possess  a  knowledge  of  the  University  and 
an  interest  in  its  welfare  which  the  non- 
graduate  cannot  be  expected  to  have. 
But  the  University  of  Toronto  is  the  Pro- 
vincial University  of  Ontario  and  we  doubt 
if  any  government  would  feel  justified  in 
handing  over  large  powers  to  an  irre- 
sponsible group  of  individuals,  ffty  per 
cent,  of  whom  live  beyond  the  borders  of  the 
Province.  Responsibility  for  the  Pro- 
vincial University  must  be  fixed  in  the 
governing  body  of  the  Province. 

A  procedure  which  would  in  no  way 
weaken  the  Governmental  control  of  the 
University  but  which 
Government  would  give  the  gradu- 
Appointment  ate  body  a  part  in  the 
on  Graduate  appointment  of  Gov- 
Nomination  ernors  has  been  sug- 

gested and  seems  in 
every  way  desirable.  It  is  that  the  gradu- 
ates be  empowered  to  make  nominations 
for  a  certain  number  of  Governors.  The 
appointments  would  be  made  as  at  present 
by  the  Lieutenant-Governor-in-Council,  so 
that  there  would  be  no  lessening  of  re- 
sponsibility on  the  part  of  the  people's 
representatives.  The  graduates  would  act 
in  an  advisory  capacity  to  the  Government ; 
their  nominations  might  or  might  not  be 
accepted.  It  is  safe  to  surmise,  however, 
that  most  governments  would  be  glad  to 
receive  the  recommendations  of  a  dis- 
interested, sympathetic  and  knowing  body 
in  the  matter  of  appointments  to  the 
governing  body  of  the  University. 

The  adoption  of  a  scheme  of  this  kind 
would  provide  a  very  important  link  be- 
tween the  University  and  the  graduates 
and  would  tend  to  strengthen  4he  Gov- 
ernors through  the  appointment  of  care- 
fully chosen  men,  prepared  to  give  the  not 
inconsiderable  time  and  energy  required 
for  the  work  of  the  Board.

UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO  MONTHLY 


Another  ruestron  raised  by  Mr  Marshall 
was  that  of  the  "autocratic"  power  of  the 
President.      His   point 
The  was  that  the  office  of 

"Autocratic"          president    should    not 
President  carry  with  it  the  con- 

siderable powers  which 
it  now  does.  He  suggests  that  the  deans 
of  the  faculties  should  be  elected  by  the 
faculties  themselves  and  that  committees 
should  have  certain  powers  in  relation  to 
appointments. 

We  take  the  liberty  of  disagreeing  en- 
tirely with  Mr  Marshall  on  this  point. 
We  think  that  if  he  were  more  closely 
acquainted  with  the  inside  workings  of  the 
University  he  would  not  have  made  the 
suggestion.  In  the  first  place  the  Univer- 
sity is  a  huge  business  organization  with 
an  annual  expenditure  of  nearlv  $2,000,000, 
and  such  an  organization  cannot  be  man- 
aged successfully  unless  there  is  some  one 
possessed  of  considerable  authority  who 
gives  his  time  to  the  management  of  it. 
Then  in  the  matter  of  appointments  and 
discipline  of  staff.  There  are  at  present 
some  600  persons  on  the  teaching  staff  of 
the  University  and  it  cannot  be  expected 
that  these  will  naturally  work  in  absolute 
harmony.  Most  professors  have  some- 
thing of  temperamentalism  in  their  make- 
up, and  no  university  is  ever  quite  free 
from  professional  jealousies  and  disagree- 
ments. For  the  sake  of  harmony  and 
efficiency,  a  firm  guiding  hand  of  authority 
is  needed.  We  can  imagine  the  election  of 
a  dean  by  the  members  of  the  faculty  re- 
sulting in  the  use  of  political  methods,  the 
bringing  to  bear  of  all  kinds  of  influence, 
and  in  many  cases  in  bitter  feelings. 

While  the  President  does  possess  auto- 
cratic powers  in  respect  to  appointments — 
the  Board  of  Governors  cannot  make  ap- 
pointments except  on  his  recommendation 
— these  powers  are  not  exercised  in  an 
autocratic  way.  So  long  as  the  office  of 
president  is  filled  by  one  possessed  of  the 
diplomacy,  tact,  and  fairmindedness  of  the 
present  incumbent,  the  University  has 
nothing  to  fear  from  presidential  auto- 
cracy. This  does  not  mean  that  the 
President  can  ever  be  free  from  criticism. 
Disappointments  among  those  seeking 
positions  on  the  staff  and  promotions 
therein  are  inevitable.  , 

As  a  matter  of  fact,  and  as  was  intended 
by  the  framers  of  the  University  Act  of 


1906,  the  President  consults  widely  in  the 
case  of  all  appointments  and  promotions 
that  are  made.  Heads  and  senior  members 
of  departments  are  called  into  consultation 
and  seldom,  if  ever,  is  their  advice  dis- 
regarded. And  in  cases  of  disagreements 
the  President  is  always  prepared  to  listen 
sympathetically  to  disputants.  Surely  a 
system  of  this  kind  in  which  the  chief 
executive,  having  taken  counsel  of  his 
academic  advisers  and  considered  the 
question  disinterestedly  from  the  point  of 
view  of  the  welfare  of  the  University,  is 
empowered  to  make  the  decision,  is  pre- 
ferable to  one  in  which  the  decision  nrght 
be  arrived  at  as  a  result  of  personal  in- 
fluence or  perhaps  even  intrigue. 

At   the   April    meeting   of   the   Alumni 
Board  of  Directors  a  resolution  was  passed 
which    may    pave    the 
Organization          way  for  the  formation 
of  a  General  under  the  Alumni  Fed- 

Appointments  eration  of  an  employ- 
Bureau  being  ment  bureau,  equipped 
Considered  to  give  assistance  to 

any  undergraduate  or 
graduate  applying.  The  resolution  ap- 
proved of  the  establishment  of  such  a 
bureau  and  instructed  the  Bureau  of 
Appointments  Committee  to  prepare  a 
definite  scheme  for  submission  to  the  next 
meeting  of  the  Board. 

The  most  important  consideration  is 
the  securing  of  necessary  funds.  Increase 
in  general  office  expense  and  an  addition 
to  the  office  staff  are  involved.  It  is 
estimated  that  $2,000  would  be  required 
for  the  first  year.  The  question — that 
ever-present  question — is:  Where  is  the 
money  to  come  from? 

For  the  current  year  ending  June  30, 
the  revenue  of  the  Federation  will  be 
secured  approximately  as  follows:  from 
the  University  for  various  services  ren- 
dered, $5,000;  from  advertising  in  THE 
MONTHLY,  $4,000;  and  from  membership 
fees,  $4,000.  Owing  to  the  condition  of 
the  University's  finances  the  Board  hesi- 
tates to  ask  the  Governors  for  further 
assistance,  even  although  the  maintenance 
of  an  appointments  bureau  may  well  be 
considered  a  proper  function  of  the  Univer- 
sity itself.  The  only  other  source  of  in- 
come which  seems  capable  of  being  reason- 
ably increased  is  the  receipts  from  alumni; 
and  it  is  in  this  direction  that  the  success 
of  the  whole  alumni  movement  lies — more

widespread  interest  in  the  work  of  the 
Federation,  increased  membership  result- 
ing in  greater  usefulness  and  greater 
power. 

But  a  general  appointments  bureau  can- 
not be  founded  on  any  such  intangible 
thing  as  a  possible  increase  in  membership. 
Before  the  expenditure  is  entered  upon, 
some  assurance  that  the  necessary  funds 
will  be  forthcoming  must  be  secured.  One 
of  the  plans  being  considered  by  the  Com- 
mittee is  that  of  raising  a  special  fund  for 
the  purpose.  Many  alumni  would  doubt- 
less be  glad  to  contribute  a  definite  amount 
yearly  for  say  three  years,  in  order  to  put 
the  bureau  on  a  firm  basis. 

Of  the  need  and  value  of  such  a  bureau 
there  can  be  no  doubt.  As  has  been  stated 
in  these  columns  before,  a  well  organized 
bureau  of  appointments  would  be  an  aisset 
to  the  University  and  to  the  Province, 
and  a  great  assistance  to  the  graduates  and 
undergraduates.  It  would  widen  the  scope 
of  the  university-trained  person  to  the 
good  of  the  community.  It  would  enable 

I  needy   students   to   finance   their   courses 
and  would  help  the  graduate  in  securing 
congenial  work. 
A  series  of  six  bulletins  has  been  pre- 
pared under  the  supervision  of  the  Pub- 
licity Committee  of  the 
Bulletins  on  Alumni  Federation  and 

University  distributed      to      the 

Needs  members  of  the  Legis- 

Distributed  lature  and  representa- 

tive citizens  of  the 
Province.  The  bulletins  have  dealt  in  a 
general  way  with  the  work  and  needs  of 
the  University.  Extension  work,  research, 
post-graduate  work,  the  physical  plant, 
government  support  in  the  past  and  the 
immediate  needs  were  the  subjects  treated. 
The  Publicity  Committee,  under  the 
chairmanship  of  Mr  John  R.  Bone,  has 
shown  praiseworthy  initiative  during  the 
past  year.  The  Public  Lecture  Series  and 
the  Publicity  Bulletins  were  new  depar- 
tures and  have  proved  very  successful. 

In  these  days  of  deliberation  concerning 
the  adequate  support  of  higher  education 
by  the  Government  of 
Government  the  Province,  it  is  in- 

Support  in  the  teresting  to  note  that 
Early  Days  the  original  endow- 

ment of  King's  College 
(our  University)  amounted  to  225,944 
acres  of  land,  of  which  there  had  been  sold 


before  the  University  had  actually  gone 
into  operation  110,610  acres.  This  was 
done  not  by  the  Government,  but  by  the 
College  Co  ncil,  which  seems  to  have  car- 
ried on  for  fourteen  years  before  the  Uni- 
versity was  actually  at  work.  The  dis- 
bursements of  King's  College  from  the  year 
1828  to  the  31st  of  December,  1842,  were 
as  follows:

closed  for  the  year  with  a  total  of  $36,4CO

Governors  of  t'  e  Uni-

so  that  the  net  charge  for  the  year  from  the 
money  subscribed  to  the  Memorial  scheme 
was  $31,490.  Of  the  216  students  who  re- 
ceived assistance,  95  had  received  loans  in 
previous  years.  Of  the  424  who  have  re-

the  operation  of  the  Fund  there  will  be 
some  200  in  attendance  next  year,  and  the

As  AN  AFTER  EFFECT  of  a  Med-School 
scrap  on  March  3,  each  Science  student 
has  been  called  on  to  pay  $2  and  each 
Medical  $1  by  order  of  the  Students' 
Court.  The  fines  will  go  to  pay  the  cost 
of  damage  done. 

It  was  School  election  day,  when  School- 
men put  all  work  aside,  to  enjoy  the  enter- 
tainment of  competing  candidates,  that 
the  trouble  began.  It  started,  as  usual, 
with  jibes  of  "Poor  Meds"  and  "Poor 
School"  and  concluded,  also  as  usual,  with 
a  patched  battle  in  which  snow  balls  and 
the  fire  hose  were  freely  used. 

The  Students'  Court  ruled  that  the 
Science  men  were  most  to  blame  in  that 
they  had  first  assumed  the  offensive,  hence 
they  were  called  on  to  pay  twice  as  much 
as  the  Medicals.  All  who  did  not  file  a 
declaration  of  innocence  were  presumed 
guilty  and  required  to  pay  the  fine. 


Ax  THE  SIXTEENTH  ANNUAL  MEETING 
of  the  Ontario  Bar  Association,  held 
during  the  third  week  of  March,  the 
question  of  legal  education  was  discussed. 
Chief  Justice  Sir  William  Meredith  advo- 
cated the  federation  of  Osgoode  Hall  with 
the  University  of  Toronto.  Mr  Douglas 
Armour  opposed  the  suggestion  on  the 
ground  that  it  would  be  unwise  to  break 
the  traditions  of  the  Hall.  Mr  Harlan  F. 
Stowe,  dean  of  the  Law  School  of  Columbia 
University,  in  addressing  the  meeting 
declared  that  formal  lectures  in  Law  had 
become  obsolete.  Information  capable  of 
being  imparted  in  a  lecture  could  be  more 
easily  assimilated  in  printed  form.  Lec- 
tures should  guide  students  in  their  reading 
and  should  take  them  at  once  to  funda- 
mental principles. 


IT    IS    REPORTED    THAT    THE    CARNEGIE 

FOUNDATION  of  New  York  has  offered  the

$2,000,000  on  the  condition  that  they 
federate.  There  are  six  institutions  of 
higher  learning  with  degree-conferring 
powers  in  the  three  Eastern  provinces: 
Kings  College,  Windsor;  Dalhousie  Uni- 
versity, Halifax;  The  University  of  New 
Brunswick,  Fredericton;  Mount  Allison 
College,  Sackville;  Acadia  University, 
Wolfville ;  and  the  University  of  St.  Francis 
Zavier,  Antigonishe.  The  University  of 
•New  Brunswick  is  the  only  provincial  in- 
stitution. 


ON  THE  INITIATIVE  of  the  Goblin  staff 
the  first  conference  of  college  comic  editors 
was  held  at  the  University  during  the 
fourth  week  of  March.  Some  twenty  re- 
presentatives from  American  universities 
were  present.  One  appeared  in  huge  horn- 
rimmed spectacles  and  flopping  goloshes 
and  created  quite  a  sensation  on  the  lawn. 
Professor  DeLury  was  among  those  who 
addressed  the  convention. 


THE  ROCKEFELLER  FOUNDATION  has 
appropriated  $100,000  a  year  for  the  next 
five  years  for  fellowships  in  Medicine. 
The  purpose  is  to  increase  the  supply  of 
qualified  teachers  in  Medicine,  in  clinical 
and  laboratory  subjects.  The  fellowships 
will  be  given  to  Canadians  or  Americans 
of  either  sex  and  will  be  tenable  at  institu- 
tions where  proper  facilities  are  afforded. 


PRIZES  TOTALLING  $1,000  have  been 
offered  for  the  best  essay  on  the  regulation 
of  the  forest  fire  menace,  with  suggestions 
for  the  enactment  of  laws  for  the  preven- 
tion of  the  same,  by  Mr  F.  J.  Barnjum, 
Annapolis  Royal,  N.S.  The  essays  are  to 
be  submitted  before  June  1,  and  are  to  be 
judged  by  a  committee  of  foresters,  of 
which  Dean  Howe  is  a  member. 


THE  STUDENT  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  of 
Canada  will  hold  three  conferences  during 
the  coming  summer.  One  at  Pine  Hill 
College,  Halifax,  one  at  the  Elgin  House, 
Muskoka,  and  one  at  Carlyle  Lake, 
Saskatchewan.  Miss  Margaret  Wrong, 
who  has  spent  the  past  year  working  in 
the  interests  of  various  student  movements 
in  Europe  as  secretary  of  the  World's 
Christian  Student  Federation,  will  attend 
the  conferences  and  speak. 


THE  FOURTH  ANNUAL  REPORT  of  the 
Workers'  Educational  Association  of  To- 
ronto shows  an  encouraging  development 
of  the  work.  One  hundred  and  fifteen 
students  were  enrolled  and  attended  classes 
in  Economics,  English,  Finance,  Public 
Speaking,  Psychology,  and  Trade  Union 
Law.  The  work  of  the  Association  is 
organized  by  Mr  Dunlop,  of  the  Extension 
Department  of  the  University,  and  is 
financed  largely  by  the  University.

THE  IMPERIAL  OIL  COMPANY  of  Canada 
has  donated  a  fellowship  of  the  value  of 
$500  per  annum  for  three  years.  It  is  open 
to  graduates  of  Western  Canadian  univer- 
sities and  is  to  be  awarded  to  the  son  or 
daughter  of  an  employee  of  the  Company. 
This  is  the  fifth  fellowship  of  this  kind 
recently  donated. 


FOUR  SHORT  PLAYS,  written  entirely  by 
undergraduates,  were  presented  under  the 
direction  of  Mr  Bertram  Forsyth  in  the 
Hart  House  Theatre  on  the  evening  of 
May  3.  The  general  purpose  of  the  pro- 
duction was  to  stimulate  dramatic  writing 
on  the  part  of  the  students  of  the  Univer- 
sity, particularly  those  who  are  members 
of  the  Players'  Club. 


THE  ANNUAL  CONVOCATION  of  Knox 
College  was  held  on  April  6  in  the  College 
Chapel.  Six  graduates  were  granted  di- 
plomas. Honorary  degrees  were  conferred 
upon:  Rev  J.  D.  Cunningham,  '00,  Rev 
G.  A.  Woodside,  Dr  Donald  C.  MacGre- 
gor,  '04,  and  Rev  Wm.  G.  Wilson,  '00. 


THE  DEPARTMENT  OF  MILITARY  STUDIES 
has  received  a  handsome  addition  to  its 
shelves  from  Professor  W.  H.  van  der 
Smissen,  who  recently  donated  a  number 
of  books  on  Military  History  and  Engineer- 
ing belonging  to  his  son,  Captain  Victor 
van  der  Smissen,  of  the  Q.O.R.,  who  was 
killed  in  action  on  the  Western  Front  in 
1916. 


His  EXCELLENCY  THE  GOVERNOR- 
GENERAL  turned  the  first  sod  for  the  new 
main  building  of  Western  University, 
London,  on  April  16.  It  is  expected  that 
the  new  building  will  cost  in  the  neighbour- 
hood of  half  a  million  dollars  and  that  the 
work  of  construction  will  be  started  about 
the  middle  of  May. 


THE  1922  CLASS  IN  MEDICINE,  which  is 
the  largest  in  the  history  of  the  Faculty, 
held  its  graduating  dinner  at  the  Carls  Rite 
on  March  14.  Alex  McFaul,  president  of 
the  year,  presided.  The  majority  of  the 
members  of  the  year  are  returned  soldiers. 


University  of  Toronto  Press 
Enters  the  Publishing  Field 


THE  University  of  Toronto  Press  is 
rapidly  earning  for  itself  the  designa- 
tion "Publishers"  in  addition  to 
"Printers".  It  has  published— taken  full 
responsibility  for  distribution  as  well 
as  printing — some  half  dozen -books  during 
the  year,  including  Silberstein's  Theory  of 
General  Relativity  and  Gravitation,  Borden's 
Canadian  Constitutional  Studies,  and 
Thompson  and  Sifton's  Manual  of  Poison- 
ous Plants  and  Weed  Seeds. 

The  development  of  the  Press  has  been 
phenomenal.  Founded  twenty  years  ago 
last  March  6  for  the  purpose  of  printing 
examination  papers  and  calendars,  it  will 
this  year  do  in  the  neighbourhood  of 
$125,000  worth  of  business.  Its  staff,  in- 
cluding the  bindery,  averages  some  forty 
men  and  women.  Its  equipment,  pur- 
chased from  earnings,  is  valued  at  over 
$50,000  and  the  capital  expenditure  of 
$60,000  on  the  new  building  erected  two 
years  ago  is  being  rapidly  liquidated. 

The  greater  part  of  the  Press  work  is  of 
a  strictly  university  character — calendars, 
directories,  reports,  and  examination 
papers.  At  the  present  time  examination 
papers  are  keeping  all  hands  busy.  There 
are  1,500  of  these  in  all  to  be  printed, 
many  of  them,  such  as  mathematics  and 
languages,  requiring  very  special  attention. 

In  addition  to  this  work  done  directly 
for  the  University,  the  Press  prints  many 
books  and  periodicals  for  organizations 
connected  in  one  way  or  another  with  the 
University.  Among  the  periodicals  are: 
The  Canadian  Historical  Review,  The  School, 
THE  UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO  MONTHLY, 
Astronomical  Journal,  The  Forum,  Public 
Health  Journal,  Varsity,  Wy cliff e  College 
Magazine,  St  Andrew's  College  Review, 
Conservatory  Quarterly  Review.  Among  the 
large  books  printed  this  year  are:  Pro- 
ceedings and  Transactions  of  the  Royal 
Society,  The  Roll  of  Service,  and  *Toronto- 
nensis. 


Meeting  to  Organize  Medical  Alumni  Association 

Called  for  May  3 1 


IN  the  history  of  the  University  Alumni 
Association  a  prominent  place  is  occu- 
pied by  the  names  of  the  Medical  men, 
the  late  Dr  Reeve,  Dr  A.  B.  Macallum, 
Mr  I.  H.  Cameron,  and  others.  But  never 
in  recent  years  have  the  graduates  in 
Medicine  had  an  organization  of  their  own. 
Now,  partly  as  a  result  of  the  formation  of 
the  Alumni  Federation,  which  encourages 
Faculty  and  College  organizations,  a  move- 
ment has  been  started  to  form  a  Medical 
Alumni  Association .  With  strong  organiza- 
tions among  Engineering  graduates  and 
the  graduates  of  the  Arts  Colleges,  the 


I.  H.  CAMERON 

Professor  Emeritus  of  Surgery  and  Clinical  Surgery, 
for  many  years  closely  identified  with  the  work  of 
the  University  Association,  who  is  interesting  him- 
self in  the  formation  of  a  Medical  Alumni  Asso- 
ciation. 

Medical  men  remain  the  only  large  body 
unorganized.  From  time  to  time  during 
the  past  year  Medical  men  have  urged 
that  steps  be  taken  to  form  a  Medical 
Association,  and  so  on  Friday,  April  21, 
a  meeting  of  class  officers  and  other  inter- 
ested men  was  held  to  consider  the  matter. 
The  meeting  discussed  the  possible  ob- 
jects of  a  Medical  Alumni  Association  and 
decided  to  call  a  general  meeting  for  the 
purpose  of  electing  officers  and  adopting  a 
constitution,  on  Wednesday,  May  31, 
which  is  in  the  Convention  week  of  the 
Ontario  Medical  Association.  The  meeting 


is  called  for  West  Hall,  of  the  Main  Build- 
ing, at  5  p.m.  Notification  of  the  meeting 
will  be  sent  to  all  Medical  graduates. 

While  no  attempt  was  made  by  the 
meeting  to  definitely  enumerate  the  objects 
of  the  Association  proposed,  the  following 
were  in  a  general  way  approved:  (1)  To 
promote  the  interest  of  the  Faculty  of 
Medicine  and  form  a  connecting  link  be- 
tween the  Faculty  and  its  graduates  to 
their  mutual  advantage.  (2)  To  foster 
and  preserve  the  associations  of  under- 
graduate days  through  class  and  faculty 
reunions.  (3)  To  co-operate  with  the 
Alumni  Federation  in  making  known  the 
work  and  needs  of  the  University  of 
Toronto.  (4)  To  assist  the  Federation  in 
its  general  activities  in  respect  to  loan 
funds,  scholarships,  appointments  bureau, 
etc. 

At  the  present  time  there  are  some  350 
Medical  graduates  who  are  members  of 
the  Federation  and  subscribers  to  THE 
MONTHLY.  The  new  organization  will 
effect  no  change  in  the  annual  membership 
fee.  For  the  same  amount- — $3.00 — mem- 
bership in  the  Faculty  organization  and  in 
the  University  Alumni  Federation,  and 
subscription  to  THE  MONTHLY  will  be 
secured.  The  only  difference  will  be  that 
fees  will  be  payable  to  the  Faculty  Associa- 
tion rather  than  to  the  Federation.  Of  the 
$3.00  amount  the  Faculty  Association  will 
retain  $1.00  for  its  own  uses. 

The  names  of  those  chosen  for  the 
general  organization  committee  are  as  fol- 
lows: Professor  I.  H.  Cameron,  '74,  Drs 
C.  J.  O.  Hastings,  '85,  Robert  T.  Noble, 
'95,  W.  L.  T.  Addison,  '95,  J.  H.  McCon- 
nell,  '97,  A.  J.  Mackenzie,  '99,  A.  C.

Mr  Marshall  Suggests  Changes  in  Administration 

of  the  University 


MR     THOMAS     MARSHALL,      '86, 
M.L.A.,   has  made  some  practical 
suggestions    in    the  Legislature   re- 
garding changes  in  the  administration  of 
the  University.    He  is  of  the  opinion  that 
under  the  present  Act  there  is  a  lack  of 
democratic  control  and  that  the  sympathy 
of  the   graduate  body  has  been   cut    off 
because  they  have  little  say  in  the  man- 
agement of  the  University. 

Mr  Marshall  suggests:  (1)  That  the 
former  powers  of  the  University  Senate 
be  restored  and  that  all  important  ex- 
penditures of  money,  the  creation  of  new 
offices,  and  changes  in  policy  should  be  laid 
before  the  Senate  for  confirmation.  (2) 
That  the  office  of  vice-chancellor  should 
be  restored.  (3)  That  deans  of  faculties 
should  be  elected  by  the  faculties  them- 
selves and  that  all  appointments  should  be 
made  on  recommendation  of  the  President 
of  the  University,  the  dean  of  the  faculty 
concerned,  and  a  committee  on  appoint- 
ments of  the  department  affected. 

Premier  Drury  agreed  in  a  general  way 
with  Mr  Marshall's  suggestions  and  ex- 
pressed the  opinion  that  the  present 
organization,  whether  lacking  in  democracy 
or  not,  was  not  getting  the  proper  results. 

The  present  system  of  University  govern- 
ment is  under  the  University  Act  of  1906, 
which  was  drafted  as  a  result  of  the  in- 
vestigation of  a  commission  composed  of 
Sir  Joseph  Flavelle,  the  late  Mr  Goldwin 
Smith,  Sir  William  Meredith,  Sir  Edmund 
Walker,  Archdeacon  Cody,  Dr  D.  Bruce 
Macdonald,  and  Dr  A.  H.  U.  Colquhoun. 
The  chief  charge  to  this  commission -was  to 
inquire  into  and  to  report  upon  a  scheme 
for  the  management  and  government  of 
the  University  of  Toronto.  The  commis- 
sion made  extensive  investigations  into 
the  administration  systems  of  other  univer- 
sities and  visited  some  ten  American  in- 
stitutions. 

The  most  important  changes  brought 
about  by  the  University  Act  of  1906  were 
in  regard  to  the  powers  of  the  Board  of 
Governors  and  the  President.  The  Board 
of  Trustees,  the  lineal  predecessor  of  the 
Board  of  Governors,  was  limited  in  its 


authority  to  University  finances;  under 
the  present  Act  the  Board  is  given  wide 
powers  in  respect  to  University  appoint- 
ments. The  office  of  President,  under  the 
Act,  is  clothed  with  important  responsi- 
bilities in  regard  not  only  to  academic 
matters  but  to  general  administration 
affairs  as  well. 

On  the  whole,  the  powers  of  the  Senate 
were  not  greatly  altered.  The  chief  change 
was  that  its  recommendations  were  to  be  sent 
to  the,  Governors  rather  than  to  the  Pro- 
vincial Government.  As  a  matter  of  fact, 
not  since  1887  has  the  Senate  exercised 
any  large  powers  in  respect  to  other  than 
strictly  academic  affairs.  Since  that  date 
the  Provincial  Government,  either  through 
its  Department  of  Education  or  through 
representatives  appointed  expressly  for  the 
purpose,  has  controlled  the  business  affairs 
of  the  University  and  appointments  to  the 
staff. 

The  scheme  of  government  instituted  by 
the  Act  of  1906  and  still  in  existence  is  in 
outline  as  follows: 

1.  A  Board  of  Governors  of  twenty-four 
members,    twenty- two   appointed   by   the 
Lieutenant-Governor-in-Council    and    two 
ex-officio  members — the  Chancellor  elected 
by  the  graduates,  and  the  President  ap- 
pointed by  the  Board.    The  Board  has  full 
control   over  financial   affairs   and   makes 
appointments  on  recommendation  of  the 
President.      It   has   powers   of   veto   over 
resolutions  of  the  Senate  where  financial 
considerations  are  involved. 

2.  A  Senate  with  118  members,  of  which 
sixteen  are  ex-officio  by  reason  of  adminis- 
trative positions  in  the  University,  sixty-six 
representatives   of   faculties   and   colleges, 
thirty-two  elected  by  the  graduates,  and 
four  elected  by  the  principals  of  Collegiate 
Institutes  in  Ontario. 

3.  A    President — ex-officio     member    of 
the  Board  of  Governors  and  chairman  of 
the  Senate.     All  appointments  are  made 
on  his  recommendation.     He  is*the  acad- 
emic head  of  the  University. 

4.  Faculty    Councils    which    have    im- 
mediate supervision  of  academic  matters.

UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO  MONTHLY 


Their  decisions  must  be  approved  by  the 
Senate. 

5.  A  Caput — a  committee  consisting  of 
the  President  and  the  heads  of  the  various 
faculties    and    colleges,    chiefly   concerned 
with  matters  of  discipline. 

6.  A  Chancellor,  elected  by  the  gradu- 
ates,   ex-officio    member  of  the   Board  of 
Governors  and  the  Senate,  and  chairman 
of  Convocation. 

In  support  of  its  recommendations  the 
1906  Commission  said  in  part: 

The  Board  of  Governors.  A  proposal  to 
delegate  the  powers  of  the  Crown  to  a 
Board  of  Governors  is  dictated  by  the 
desire  to  impart  strength,  continuity  and 
freedom  of  action  to  the  supreme  governing 
body.  It  is  in  accord  with  the  practice  of 
other  communities  possessing  State  univer- 
sities, and  is  supported  by  the  unanimous 
testimony  of  those  whose  advice  has  been 
sought.  It  is  designed  to  secure  an  instru- 
ment of  administration  truly  representa- 
tive of  the  whole  Province. 

In  order  that  no  part  of  the  State's 
authority  shall  be  surrendered,  and  that 
the  University  shall  retain  the  advantages 
and  enjoy  the  dignity  of  State  support, 
\\e  recommend  that  the  Governors  be 
nominated  by  the  Lieutenant-Governor-in- 
Council.  The  suggestion  that  some  of 
them  should  be  elected  by  the  graduates 
was  the  subject  of  long  and  careful  con- 
sideration. The  loyal  affection  of  the 
alumni  for  their  Alma  Mater  we  recognize 
as  a  valuable  factor  in  the  formation  of 
public  opinion  favourable  to  the  interests 
of  the  University.  This  feeling  is  one 
honourable  to  the  graduates  themselves, 
and  in  the  case  of  privately-endowed 
universities  has  been  productive  of  much 
benefit.  The  Chancellor,  whose  office  has 
existed  since  the  foundation  of  King's 
College,  is  chosen  by  the  votes  of  the 
graduates  and  has  a  place,  ex-officio,  on 
the  governing  Board.  This  office,  in  our 
opinion,  should  be  preserved.  The  Presi- 
dent should  also  be  a  member,  ex-officio, 
of  the  Board.  With  these  exceptions  the 
Governors  should  be  named  by  the  Lieu- 
tenant-Governor-in-Council.  •  In  our  opin- 
ion no  step  should  be  taken  to  lessen  the 
responsibility  of  the  Legislature  for  the 
efficient  management  and  support  of  the 
institution.  To  confer  upon  the  graduates 
the  power  to  elect  some  of  their  number  to 
the  Board  would  divest  the  State  of  its 


full  control  of  the  governing  body.  This, 
in  our  opinion,  would  be  unwise.  We 
assume  that  in  the  selection  of  Governors, 
the  Government  will  not  from  time  to  time 
overlook  the  claims  of  suitable  persons 
who  are  graduates  to  membership  on  the 
Board  and  thus  confer  the  distinction 
without  impairing  the  authority  of  the 
Crown  over  the  University.  This  au- 
thority should  be  fully  asserted  in  three 
ways,  first,  by  the  provision  that  of  the 
fifteen  Governors  all  except  the  two  ex- 
officio  members  should  be  appointed  by 
and  be  removable  at  the  pleasure  of  the 
Lieutenant-Governor-in-Council ;  second, 
that  detailed  statements  of  the  expendi- 
tures and  the  investments  should  be  annu- 
ally furnished  to  the  Government;  and, 
third,  by  the  provision  that  no  expenditure 
involving  any  encroachment  on  the  en- 
dowment should  be  made  without  the 
sanction  of  the  Lieutenant-Governor-in- 
Council. 

The  Senate.  The  Senate,  owing  to  its 
representative  quality,  is  necessarily  large 
and  the  attendance  fluctuates.  Much  of 
its  work  has,  in  practice,  been  relegated  to 
committees.  Experience  has  shown  that 
the  reports  of  these  committees  must,  in 
general,  be  adopted  without  debate,  if  the 
transaction  of  business  is  not  to  be  unduly 
delayed.  The  Senate,  therefore,  has  in 
process  of  time  become  a  deliberative  as- 
semblage where  the  larger  questions  of 
academic  concern  are  reviewed  and  dis- 
cussed. It  brings  together  representatives 
of  the  State  college  and  State  faculty,  of 
the  federated  and  affiliated  institutions, 
and  of  the  graduates.  The  Cpllegiate  In- 
stitute and  High  School  teachers  have  also 
been  permitted  to  send  two  members  to 
represent  them,  and  as  the  secondary 
schools. have  a  strong  interest  in  the  course 
of  study  and  the  standard  of  matriculation, 
and  as  the  University  ought  to  enlarge  its 
facilities  for  the  training  of  teachers,  their 
representation  in  the  Senate  should  be  in- 
creased. The  proportionate  representation 
of  the  colleges,  through  their  faculties  and 
graduates,  should  be  respected;  and  in 
order  that  the  graduates  should  contribute 
to  the  Senate  the  stimulus  of  intelligent 
encouragement  and  criticism  from  their 
own  ranks,  thus  helping  to  keep  the  Uni- 
versity more  intimately  in  touch  with  the 
outside  world,  we  recommend  that  mem- 
bers of  the  teaching  staff  shall  no  longer 


UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO  MONTHLY

be  eligible  as  candidates  for  the  graduate 
vote.  No  one  within  the  University  should 
have  any  disposition  or  inducement  to 
meddle  with  the  choice  of  the  graduates. 
The  Faculty  representation  should  be 
equalized  and  increased,  and  the  composi- 
tion of  the  Senate  as  a  whole,  while  dis- 
tinctly academic  in  its  quality  and  out- 
look, should  provide  for  a  sufficiently  large 
non-academic  element. 

The  President.  He  should  be  relieved 
of  all  teaching  duties.  He  should  be  a 
member,  ex-officio,  of  the  governing  body, 
but  not  its  chairman.  He  should  preside 
at  meetings  of  the  Senate.  This  would 
bring  him  into  constant  and  intimate  con- 
tact with  both  the  business  and  the 
academic  side  of  the  administration.  He 
should  be,  in  general,  the  channel  of  com- 
munication, between  the  Governors  and 
other  academical  bodies.  The  President 
should  possess  those  academic  sympathies 
and  qualifications  which  would  make  him 
a  suitable  chairman  of  the  academic  body, 
the  Senate.  He  should  also  preside  over 
the  Council  of  the  Faculty  of  Arts,  of  right 
to  attend  meetings  of  all  other  councils, 
and  be  given  power  to  summon  meetings 
of  any  faculty,  or  joint  meetings  of  facul- 
ties. This  would  centralize  responsibility, 
the  lack  of  which,  in  our  judgment,  has 
been  one  of  the  serious  defects  of  the 
present  system.  The  distribution  of  power 
over  so  many  agencies,  with  the  final 
appeal  to  a  political  Ministry,  entails  upon 
the  executive  officer  of  such  a  system  a 
continual  effort  to  reconcile  conflicting 
elements,  without  in  the  end  being  able  to 
enforce  the  decision. 

The  question  of  making  appointments 
to  the  staff  concerns  the  very  life  of  the 
University.  It  is  clear  that  the  governing 
body  should  make  all  appointments.  The 
method  of  procedure  is  of  the  first  impor- 
tance. Every  possible  assurance  should 
exist  that  the  efficiency  of  the  staff  is  not 
determined  on  any  other  ground  than  that 
of  merit  and  quality.  In  the  case  of  a 
University  with  a  history  extending  over 
sixty  years,  there  is  sure  to  be  abundance 
of  evidence  to  serve  as  a  warning  of  what 
to  avoid  and  to  suggest  the  best  method 
of  filling  vacancies,  making  promotions, 
and  deciding  upon  retirements.  The  right 
to  recommend  should  rest  with  the  Presi- 


dent, who,  as  the  academic  head,  is  the 
natural  adviser  of  the  governing  body. 
Without  his  recommendation  the  responsi- 
bility of  action  would  be  divided.  Ap- 
pointments, therefore,  should  be  condi- 
tional upon  his  nomination.  The  Presi- 
dent, under  such  circumstances,  would 
necessarily  consult  with  those  distinctly 
qualified  to  give  him  advice.  The  fact  that 
the  Governors  would  hold  him  responsible 
for  the  character  and  fitness  of  the  ap- 
pointment would  render  him  careful  to 
exhaust  every  possible  avenue  of  informa- 
tion. It  would  entail  a  constant  search  for 
promising  men  in  every  department  of 
university  work,  and  compel  the  President 
to  have  a  knowledge  of  the  standing  of 
ability  required  in  other  universities  which 
he  would  be  free  to  apply  at  home.  The 
spirit  in  which  this  duty  would  be  dis- 
charged, and  the  measure  of  success  at- 
tending it  would  go  far  to  indicate  his  own 
fitness.  The  highly  important,  and  at 
times,  delicate  task  of  ensuring  the  main- 
tenance of  the  quality  of  the  work  done  by 
the  individual  members  of  the  staff,  is  also 
best  performed  by  the  President. 


CROFT  CHAPTER  HOUSE 


Osier  Hall  Dedicated 


TORONTO  ACADEMY  OF  MEDICINE  HAS  NOW  650  FELLOWS 


THE  dedication  of  Osier  Hall,  the  fine 
new  auditorium  of  the  Toronto 
Academy  of  Medicine,  on  April  4, 
constituted  another  landmark  in  the  de- 
velopment of  the  Academy.  The  Hall  is 
capable  of  seating  300  people  and  has  a 
large  journal  room  over  the  auditorium 
which  will  provide  increased  accommoda- 
tion for  books  and  periodicals.  It  was 
erected  at  a  cost  of  $25,000  secured  from 
subscriptions  of  the  Fellows  of  the  Aca- 
demy. 


On  the  same  evening  as  the  dedication 
of  the  Hall,  a  portrait  in  oils  of  Sir  William 
Osier  was  presented  to  the  Academy  by 
his  brother,  Sir  Edmund.  The  portrait  is 
a  copy  by  Mr  James,  of  Boston,  of  John  S. 
Sargent's  painting  in  possession  of  Johns 
Hopkins  University.  It  was  unveiled  by 
the  Lieutenant-Governor,  and  Archdeacon 
Cody  had  charge  of  the  dedication  service. 
Many  prominent  citizens,  including  Hon. 
E.  C.  Drury,  Sir  Robert  Falconer,  Sir 
Edmund  Osier,  and  Dr  F.  J.  Shepherd,  of 
Montreal  were  present.  Short  addresses 


dealing  with  the  life  and  work  of  Sir 
William  Osier  were  given  by  Drs  Gwyn, 
Wishart,  Parfitt,  Anderson,  and  Parsons. 

The  Toronto  Academy  of  Medicine  has 
steadily  grown  in  influence  and  usefulness. 
It  ^was  organized  in  1907  through  the 
fusion  of  the  Ontario  Medical  Library 
Association,  the  Toronto  Medical  Society, 
the  Toronto  Clinical  Society,  and  the 
Toronto  Pathological  Society.  The  late 
Dr  J-  F.  W.  Ross  was  the  first  president 
and  with  him  were  associated  as  trustees  the 
late  Dr  R.  A.  Reeve  and  Dr  N.  A.  Powell. 

In  the  fifteen  years  of  its  existence  it  has 
done  much  to  accomplish  the  objects  set 
forth  in  its  constitution,  namely:  "  (1)  The 
advancement  of  the  art  and  science  of 
Medicine  with  its  collateral  branches. 
(2)  The  promotion  and  maintenance  of  an 
efficient  library  and  museum.  (3)  Pro- 
fessional improvement  and  the  cultivation 
of  harmony  and  good  feeling  among  its 
Fellows.  (4)  The  promotion  of  the  cor- 
porate interests  of  the  profession  in  relation 
to  the  community."  The  Academy  is 
organized  in  seven  sections:  Medicine, 
Surgery,  Pathology,  State  Medicine,  Ob- 
stetrics and  Gynaecology,  Eye,  Ear,  Nose 
and  Throat,  and  Paediatrics.  Each  section 
holds  monthly  meetings  at  which  papers 
are  read,  and  each  month  a  meeting  of  the 
whole  Academy  is  held,  usually  addressed 
by  some  prominent  out-of-town  Medical 
man.  The  papers  given  are  distributed  for 
publication  to  the  Medical  journals  in 
Canada,  United  States;  and  Great  Britain. 
At  the  present  time  there  are  some  600 
resident  Fellows  and  some  50  non-resident. 
Dr  R.  T.  Noble  is  president  for  the  year. 

A  very  important  part  of  the  work  of 
the  Academy  is  its  library  service.  It  has 
now  a  library  of  more  than  14,000  volumes, 
exclusive  of  duplicates,  and  some  200 
leading  Medical  journals  are  kept  on  file. 
It  is  the  second  largest  Medical  library  in 
Canada  and  is  rapidly  growing.  Non- 
resident Fellows  have  the  privilege  of  bor- 
rowing books  from  the  library  on  payment 
of  carriage  expenses.  The  library  has 
proved  of  inestimable  value  to  practising 
physicians  who  are  making  special  studies 
in  various  fields.

The  Edward  Kylie  Scholarship 

By  VINCENT  MASSEY 


IT  is  just  six  years  since  Edward  Kylie 
died  in  Owen  Sound,  as  a  captain  in 
the  147th  Battalion  of  the  Canadian 
Expeditionary  Force.  The  numbers  of 
those,  in  the  University,  who  knew  him  as 
a  teacher  or  a  colleague,  are  steadily 
diminishing,  but  it  is  unlikely  that  he  will 
ever  be  forgotten.  The  depth  of  his 
scholarship,  enriched  as  it  was  by  genuine 
humanism,  the  brilliance  of  his  career, 
both  at  Varsity  and  later  at  Balliol, 
and  the  charm  of  his  personality — -these 
will  combine  to  keep  his  memory  a  living 
thing,  although  the  tradition  of  his  name 
will  rest  chiefly  on  the  disinterested  sense 
of  service  which  was  his  finest  quality. 

It  has  long  been  the  hope  of  his  friends 
to  create  a  memorial  to  Edward  Kylie  that 
would  be  worthy  of  him.  The  window 
placed  in  the  library  at  Hart  House,  by  a 
group  of  his  colleagues,  as  its  design  sug- 
gests, is  an  affectionate  tribute  to  those 
qualities,  both  of  the  knight  and  the 
scholar,  which  he  so  finely  embodied;  but 
something  further  was  needed  to  express 
the  ideals  for  which  Kylie  stood.  As  a 
result  of  this  feeling  the  Edward  Kylie 
Trust  is  now  in  being,  and  has  already 
commenced  to  serve  the  purpose  for  which 
it  was  founded.  Its  inauguration,  however, 
has  been  so  unobtrusive  that  members  of 
the  University  may  welcome  a  word  of 
explanation  as  to  its  purpose. 

The  object  of  the  Trust  is,  briefly,  to 
provide  a  permanent  scholarship,  to  be 
awarded  from  time  to  time,  to  a  student 
in  the  Modern  History  Course  in  the 
University  of  Toronto,  to  enable  him  to 
pursue  his  studies  in  a  British  university. 
The  funds  are  vested  in  a  board  of  five 
trustees  who  also  conduct  the  examina- 
tions, and  assign  the  scholarships  under 
the  Trust.  The  qualifications  for  election 
to  a  scholarship  embrace  both  academic 
and  general  activities,  the  award  being 
made  to  the  candidate  "most  likely  to 
occupy  a  position  of  leadership  and  in- 
fluence in  the  community".  In  making  an 
award  the  trustees  undertake  to  meet  each 
candidate,  and  supplement  formal  acad- 
emic evidence  with  a  first-hand  knowledge 
of  his  personal  qualities. 


There  are  sixty-two  subscribers  to  the 
Trust,  which  will  yield  annually  about 
twelve  hundred  dollars.  It  is  the  hope  of 
the  trustees,  through  further  subscrip- 
tions,* to  bring  the  amount  up  to  about 
fifteen  hundred  dollars,  which  is  approxi- 
mately the  sum  which  a  Rhodes  Scholar 
receives  annually  from  his  foundation. 
The  sums  granted  under  the  Kylie  Award 
will  vary  with  a  candidate's  requirements, 
but  may  not  be  less  than  three  hundred 
dollars  a  year. 

The  first  award  was  made  in  1921  to 
Mr  F.  H.  Soward  of  University  College, 
who,  after  having  taken  a  brilliant  degree 


at  Toronto,  proceeded  last  autumn  to 
Oxford,  and  is  now  at  New  College,  working 
at  a  graduate  thesis  in  Economics. 

In  the  Kylie  Scholarship  we  have  the 
most  appropriate  memorial  to  the  man 
whose  name  it  bears.  Edward  Kylie  him- 
self, as  an  undergraduate,  won  a  similar 
prize  in  the  Flavelle  Fellowship,  which 
gave  him  three  years  in  an  English  univer- 
sity, and  to  these  years  he  owed  much. 

*  Subscriptions  of  any  amount  will  be  welcome  by  the 
trustees  and  should  be  addressed  to:

IVERSITY  OF  TORONTO  MONTHLY 


Far  from  impairing  his  affection  for 
Canada  his  studies  abroad  enabled  him  to 
see  his  own  country  in  a  true  perspective, 
and  gave  him,  if  anything,  a  more  robust 
and  convinced  Canadianism  than  he  pos- 


sessed before.  It  is  to  be  hoped  that  the 
men  who  benefit  from  this  foundation  will 
bring  back  to  their  own  country,  as  Kylie 
did  himself,  the  best  they  can  find  in  the 
old  civilization  for  theenrichmentof  the  new. 


Victoria  and  Knox  Take  Momentous  Step 

SCKEYE  OF  CO-OPERATION  IN  THEOLOGICAL  TRAINING  APPROVED 


ONE  of  the  most  important  steps  in  the 
progress  of  Theological  training  in 
Toronto  has  recently  been  taken  by 
Victoria  College  and  Knox  College.  A 
scheme  of  co-operation  has  been  evolved 
which  virtually  means  that  while  each 
College  retains  full  control  of  its'  own  re- 
quirements for  diplomas  and  degrees,  the 
teaching  staffs  are  united.  The  students 
of  the  two  Colleges  will  take  most  of  lectures 
together. 

The  scheme  provides  for  co-operation  in 
all  subjects  of  the  curriculum  with  the  ex- 
ception of  Church  Polity,  but  most  notably 
in  Old  Testament,  New  Testament,  Philo- 
sophy of  Religion,  Religious  Education, 
Sociology,  and  Public  Speaking.  Each 


ALFRED  GANDIER 

Principal  of  Knox  College 


College  will  retain  certain  prescribed 
courses,  but  many  of  these  will  be  in  com- 
mon. In  addition  to  the  prescribed  courses 
there  will  be  elective  courses  for  students 
who  wish  to  specialize  in  particular  sub- 
jects. 

For  example:  In  Philosophy  of  Religion 
and  Systematic  Theology,  there  are  four 
courses  in  the  first  year.  Students  in  Vic- 
toria College  who  have  had  some  training 
in  Philosophy  are  required  to  take  (a)  and 
either  (b)  or  by  special  permission  (c) ; 
students  in  Knox  (a)  and  either  (c)  or  by 
special  permission  (b) ;  and  (d)  is  required 
of  Victoria  students  with  no  training  in 
Philosophy.  In  the  second  year  there  are 
two  courses,  and  in  the  third  year  one, 
required  of  all  students  of  both  Colleges. 

The  chief  advantage  of  the  plan  is  tbat 
by  reason  of  an  increased  number  of 
courses  it  allows  for  gradation  of  classes  ac- 
cording to  the  training  which  the  students 
have  previously  enjoyed.  Students  enter 
Knox  College  and  the  Theological  Faculty 
of  Victoria  College  with  widely  varying 
educational  qualifications.  The  majority 
hold  a  degree  in  Arts,  some  have  taken  a 
partial  Arts  course,  and  others  no  work  of 
university  grade.  To  put  students  so 
differently  qualified  into  one  class  is  detri- 
mental to  the  interests  of  both  the  well- 
equipped  student  and  the  ill-equipped. 
Through  the  scheme  now  approved  the 
number  of  courses  is  increased  and  students 
are  given  work  befitting  their  preparation. 
To  illustrate:  In  Old  Testament  of  the 
first  year  there  are  four  courses  for  students 
of  both  Colleges.  These  are  arranged  so 
that  the  requirements  fall  into  three 
classes:  (1)  Those  who  read  Hebrew. 
(2)  Those  who  have  completed  at  least 
three  years  in  Arts.  (3)  Those  who  have 
taken  little  or  no  university  work.  In  this 
way  the  student  who  wishes  to  take  ad- 
vanced work  in  Hebrew  can  do  so,  while 


UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO  MONTHLY 


343 


he  who  is  not  qualified  to  undertake  ad- 
vanced work  in  this  department  is  required 
only  to  take  the  work  in  English. 

The  plan  will  foster  post-graduate  work 
on  account  of  the  large  number  of  elective 
courses  which  will  be  available.  The  ten- 
dency will  also  probably  be  towards  an 
increase  in  the  number  of  elective  courses 
for  undergraduate  work,  thus  permitting 
specialization  without  interfering  with 
the  fundamental  subjects  of  the  curriculum 
which  will  be  prescribed  as  necessary  for 
graduation. 

Some  idea  of  the  comprehensive  nature 
of  the  scheme  can  be  gathered  from  the 
fact  that  it  offers  forty-seven  courses  avail- 
able to  students  of  both  Colleges,  eleven 
are  limited  to  Victoria  College  students, 
and  thirteen  to  Knox  College  students. 
The  combined  staff  will  number  seventeen 
professors. 

The  publication  of  a  joint  calendar  is 
being  considered,  but  it  is  not  likely  that 
such  a  calendar  will  be  published  for  the 
1922-1923  session. 

The  outline  of  the  scheme  of  co-operation 
is  as  follows: 

1.  Old  Testament:    Co-operation  in  first 
and  third  years  and  in  Elective  Courses; 
no  co-operation  in  second  year.  |f^  wj 

2.  New   Testament:      Co-operation    for 
two  hours  out  of  three  in  first  year;  no  co- 
operation in  second  year;  co-operation  in 
third  year  and  in  Elective  Courses. 

3.  Philosophy  of  Religion  and  System- 
atic Theology:    Co-operation  for  one  term 
out  of  two  in  first  year;  co-operation  in 
second   and   third   years   and   in   Elective 
Courses. 

4.  Church    History:      Co-operation    in 
Elective  Courses. 

5.  Homiletics    and    Pastoral   Theology: 
Co-operation  in  Elective  Courses. 

6.  Religious    Education:      Co-operation 
in  all  courses. 

7.  Sociology:        Co-operation      in      all 
courses. 

8.  Church  Polity:    No  co-operation. 

9.  Public  Speaking:    Co-operation  in  all 
courses. 

The  recently  adopted  scheme  is  a  natural 
development  of  the  co-operative  steps 
which  have  been  taken  during  recent  years 
between  the  Presbyterian  and  Methodist 
Churches,  and  while  it  constitutes  a  very 
radical  departure  from  the  existing  ar- 
rangements, yet  in  principle  it  is  not  en- 


tirely new.  During  the  past  few  years 
Knox  students  have  often  taken  lectures 
at  Victoria  College  and  vice  versa,  but  these 
interchanges  have  been  chiefly  due  to 
vacancies  in  the  staffs  of  the  respective 
Colleges. 

The  step  has  not  been  taken  in  direct 
anticipation  of  organic  union  between  the 
two  Churches.  It  is  claimed  that  both 
the  anti-unionists  and  the  pro-unionists  are 
in  favour  of  the  scheme;  the  former  be- 
cause they  believe  that  co-operation  will 
do  away  with  the  need  of  organic  union, 
and  the  latter  because  they  feel  that  co- 
operation will  naturally  lead  to  organic 
union.

KNOX  COLLEGE  THE  OLDER  OF  THE  Two 

Knox  College  was  established  in  1844 
and  began  its  work  in  that  year  with  a 
staff  of  two  teachers  and  seven  students. 
For  a  number  of  years  it  provided  a 
literary  course  as  well  as  a  theological,  but 
when  King's  College  was  secularized  and 
became  the  University  of  Toronto,  Knox 
College  students  were  encouraged  to  take 
the  full  Arts  course  in  the  University. 
The  relations  of  the  College  to  the  Univer- 


344 


UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO  MONTHLY 


sity  have  always  been  very  close.  In  1852 
it -was  given  a  seat  in  the  Senate.  In  1885 
it  was  affiliated,  and  in  1890  federated  with 
the  University;  and  by  the  University  Act 
of  1906  was  given  three  representatives  in 
the  University  Senate,  one  in  the  Caput, 
and  one  in  the  Council  of  the  Faculty  of 
Arts.  Religious  Knowledge  options  in  the 
Arts  course  may  be  taken  at  the  College. 
The  Theological  Faculty  of  Victoria  Col- 
lege was  not  founded  until  1871,  although 
the  Arts  department  was  established  in 
1841.  Previous  to  1871  the  Canadian 
Methodist  Church  had  no  school  for  the 
training  of  its  ministers;  this  training  being 
given  by  a  unique  system  of  apprenticing 


students  to  superintendents  of  circuits. 
Students  were  handed  over  to  the  super- 
intendents for  instruction  and  the  examina- 
tions were  conducted  by  a  board  of  the 
Church  Conference.  The  scheme  had  the 
advantage  of  placing  the  student  in  very 
close  contact  with  his  instructor,  who  not 
only  assigned  his  lessons  but  also  listened 
to  his  sermons  and  criticized  them,  and  in 
general  directed  his  activities. 

The  Theological  Faculty  of  Victoria  Col- 
lege has  always  been  closely  identified  with 
the  Arts  Faculty.  The  two  Faculties  are 
controlled  by  the  same  Board,  and  some 
professors  teach  both  in  Arts  and  in 
Theology. 


The  Changes  of  Forty  Years 

By  PRINCIPAL  MAURICE  HUTTON 


1HAVE  already,  in  a  former  number  of 
THE  MONTHLY  (November,  1921), 
sketched  some  of  the  changes  in  the 
student  body  which  forty  years  have 
brought,  chiefly  such  as  are  traceable  to 
the  entrance  of  women  into  the  college  and 
resolving  themselves  mainly  into  a  higher 
standard  of  character  and  a  lower  standard 
of  hard  reading  and  sound  scholarship. 

As  for  the  other  changes  of  the  forty 
years  I  presume  that  in  the  microcosm  of 
this  University  they  follow  broadly  the 
same  line  as  in  the  macrocosm  of  Canada, 
the  United  Kingdom,  and  the  World. 

I  mean  that  forty  years  ago  democracy 
was  less  aggressive,  less  in  evidence.  The 
world  was  ruled  then  and  Canada  also  in 
a  minor  degree  perhaps,  but  appreciably, 
was  ruled,  by  "the  somebodies"  as  Sir 
Philip  Gibbs  has  said  lately.  Now  all 
parts  of  the  Kingdom  and  the  world  are 
ruled  by  "  the  nobodies".  The  chief  states- 
men of  the  world  to-day  are  not  inaptly 
represented  by  Mr  Lloyd  George,  who  is  a 
nobody  by  birth,  education,  and  knowl- 
edge, even  though  he  be,  as  he  is,  a  genius, 
even  a  wizard  in  natural  gifts  and  oratorical 
flair.  His  marvellous  gifts  conceal  the  low 
standards  of  democracy.  Somewhat  in  the 
same  way  the  universities  in  Canada  of 
those  days  were  officered  almost  wholly  by 
experts  imported  from  the  Motherland. 
Professor  James  Loudon  was  the  only 
Canadian  on  the  College  Council ;  Professor 
Alfred  Baker,  his  assistant,  almost  the 
only  Canadian  official  of  University  Col- 


lege; Professor  van  der  Smissen  in  German, 
the  librarian,  was  the  other. 

It  was  no  accident  that  the  departments 
of  German  and  Mathematics  were  the 
first  to  be  Canadianized.  Canadian  stan- 
dards in  Modern  Languages  and  still  more 
in  Mathematics  have  always  been  high. 
Very  lucky  indeed  for  me  and  for  some 
others  that  we  never  had  our  Mathematics 
in  the  University  of  Toronto.  We  could 
have  substituted  Religious  Knowledge  for 
Trigonometry  in  these  days,  it  is  true,  but 
it  was  not  possible  to  do  so,  I  think,  forty 
years  ago.  As  for  German,  there  was  of 
course  none  in  the  English  universities  of 
those  days,  and  little  French  even  either 
in  the  universities  or  in  the  famous  classical 
schools.  In  my  school  Mathematics  was 
taught  to  all  of  us  except  the  specialists 
by  the  corner  grocer  and  French  was  an 
hour's  amusement  and  diversion  in  the 
afternoon,  if  one  wanted  an  excuse  to 
escape  Greek  Grammar  or  Thucydides,  for 
a  conversation  with  old  Chevalier  Jules 
Bue. 

The  men  of  those  days  as  I  said  before 
in  November,  were  more  mature  for  good 
and  evil.  They  spent  more  time  at  the 
Caer  Howell,  the  nearest  tavern,  than  any- 
one would  spend  to-day  in  Toronto  looking 
for  such  a  place,  which  is  saying  a  good 
deal.  I  think  they  spent  more  time  also 
reading  Classics  and  Metaphysics,  the  two 
favoured  courses.  They  spent  no  time 
certainly  in  dancing;  there  was  no  such 
frivolity.  The  only  public  function  was

the  annual  Conversazione  and  it  was  a 
concert  and  a  series  of  lectures  and  exhibits 
of  scientific  apparatus  and  scientific  ex- 
periments, and  yet  it  was  more  popular 
and  drew  more  eager  attendants  than  all 
the  dances  of  this  age  put  together.  Num- 
ber and  repetition  have  staled  them,  and 
the  idea  that  they  have  an  educational 
value  is  the  merest  popular  superstition. 
Latin  was  taught  in  the  good  old  way  with 
the  honest  old  and  frankly  incorrect 
English  pronunciation.  As  a  result  it  could 
be  pronounced  and  even  understood.  To- 
day it  is  neither  understood,  still  less  pro- 
nounced. Every  one  fights  shy  of  it  when 
an  Englishman  attempts  the  new  pro- 
nunciation. In  Italy  the  Italian  papers' 
usual  comment  is  "as  the  gentleman  spoke 
in  English  we  cannot  report  him".  They 
could  not  have  said  worse  than  that  forty 
years  ago. 

Latin  has  suffered  specially  by  the  en- 
trance of  women.  It  is  not  a  feminine 
language;  it  presents  extraordinary  diffi- 
culties to  the  feminine  mind.  On  the  other 
hand  the  language  which  is  feminine,  very 
feminine,  and  has  a  natural  appeal  to 
women  and  can  be  appreciated  at  its  true 
worth  by  women,  is  so  seldom  taught  and 
so  late  taught  in  the  schools  that  it  has  not 
the  number  of  students  it  should  have. 
Broadly  then  our  men  have  become 
women,  in  a  partial  degree;  our  women, 
men  much  handicapped. 

The  administration  of  those  days  was 
primitive  in  the  extreme.  The  Bursar  was 
down  town.  The  President  had  no  super- 
intendent and  was  his  own  superintendent. 
President  Loudon  was  the  last  of  his  kind, 
and  it  was  only  his  gifts  for  the  office  of 
''superintendent  which  disguised  so  long  the 
necessity  for  a  change.  But  the  college 
gained  immensely;  it  was  not  crowded 
out  by  Registrar's,  Bursar's,  and  Super- 
intendent's ever-growing  business. 

Similarly  there  was  no  "publicity,"  no 
propaganda,  no  University  Extension  De- 
partment ;  practically  the  University,  which 
was  the  College,  was  frankly  an  institution 


for  a  select  few  going  into  Law.  All  the 
honour  men  (practically)  down  to  1880 
came  from  Upper  Canada  College  and  took 
Classics  or  Metaphysics.  Scientific  labor- 
atories were  just  established  through  Pro- 
fessor Loudon,  but  only  just.  Laboratories 
in  Psychology  were  not  only  not  established 
but  not  even  dreamt  of.  There  was  more 
hard  thinking  and  less  psycho-analysis; 
not  to  the  disadvantage  it  may  be  of  the 
professors,  or  the  students,  or  the  Province. 
There  was  no  so-called  Political  Science  to 
tempt  men  away  from  the  disciplinary  sub- 
jects of  Classics,  Mathematics,  and  Meta- 
physics into  the  practical  problems  of  the 
statesmen — -freight  rates,  transportation 
charges,  coal  supply,  protection,  taxation, 
etc.,  etc.  If  there  was  much  less  knowledge 
of  bread  and  butter  questions  there  was 
perhaps,  theoretically  there  must  have 
been,  more  mental  training,  better  mind 
development,  harder  thinking. 

It  was  a  transition  period  in  1880. 
Darwin  and  Bismarck  had  discouraged  and 
depressed  the  devout-minded  of  all  nations; 
the  first  positively,  the  second  negatively. 
They  did  not  know  what  to  think  of  theo- 
logy and  a  better  world.  On  the  other 
hand  they  had  not  yet  superseded  the  old 
faith  with  the  new;  world-betterment  in- 
stead of  a  better  world ;  physics  and  educa- 
tion instead  of  theology.  The  shibboleths 
of  the  present  hour  were  not  yet  heard. 
There  was  no  loud  echoing  of  catch  words 
like  "service"  and  "social  service"  and 
"socialism".  We  were  still  individualists 
and  still  able  to  believe  that  the  man  who 
lived  the  life  of  thought  and  thought  for 
himself  and  educated  himself  was  apt  in 
the  long  run  to  become  the  best  servant 
of  the  race. 

The  University  was  governed  by  indi- 
viduals and  by  itself  rather  than  by  a 
board  of  business  and  public  men.  The 
so-called  Trustees  were  only  investors  of 
the  University's  scanty  income.  There 
was  no  Government  grant,  no  large  suc- 
succession  dues  to  administer,  no  lobbying 
of  legislatures  necessary. 


Medical  Research  Results  in  Important  Discovery 


PROBABLY  the  greatest  discovery  in 
the  Medical  history  of  this  country, 
and  one  of  the  most  important  in 
modern  Medical  research  has  been  made 
at  the  University  of  Toronto.  It  is  not 
quite  one  year  ago  that  special  investiga- 
tions were  begun  by  Dr  F.  G.  Banting,  '17, 
to  discover  a  method  of  preparing  an 
extract  of  pancreas  for  the  benefit  of 
diabetic  patients.  Dr  Banting  had  just 
been  appointed  to  a  junior  position  in 
Surgery  and  an  assistant  in  general  Physio- 
logy at  the  Western  University,  London, 
when  ihe  idea  came  to  him.  He  resolved  to 
make  another  experiment  along  this  line, 
although  many  previous  attempts  had 
ended  only  in  failure.  Opportunity  was 
given  to  him  to  undertake  this  research  in 
the  Physiological  Department  of  the  Uni- 
versity, and  after  careful  consideration  of 
the  problem  a  start  was  made  in  collabora- 
tion with  Mr  C.  H.  Best,  an  Arts  graduate 
of  last  year,  and  under  the  general  direc- 
tion of  Professor  J.  J.  R.  Macleod. 

For  many  years  it  has  been  known  that 
diabetes  is  frequently  associated  with 
degenerative  changes  in  the  pancreas. 
In  the  case  of  disease  of  the  thyroid  gland, 
extracts  of  this  gland  have  proved  of 
great  benefit  to  patients  suffering  from 
the  disease,  and  so,  many  investigations 
have  sought  to  find  a  method  of  preparing 
an  extract  of  the  pancreas  to  benefit 
diabetic  patients.  Dr  Banting  and  his 
colleagues  assumed  that  the  unsatisfac- 
tory results  of  previous  investigations 
were  due  to  the  fact  that  strong  digestive 
ferments  present  in  the  pancreas  destroyed 
the  active  (antidiabetic)  piinciple.  The 
method  adopted  was  to  cause  degeneration 
of  cells  which  secreted  the  destructive 
digestive  ferments  and  then  extract  the 
residue  of  the  gland  with  various  solvents. 

Professor  Macleod  says:  "Most  en- 
couraging results  were  obtained  from  the 
very  start;  intensely  diabetic  animals 
being  decidedly  benefited  by  injecting  the 
extracts,  but  it  took  six  months  of  con- 
tinuous and  most  exacting  investigation 
finally  to  prove  that  the  cardinal  symp- 
toms of  this  disease  in  laboratory  animals 
can  be  removed,  or  at  least  greatly  amelio- 
rated, by  this  method. 


"The  question  now  arose  as  to  howja 
sufficient  amount  of  extract  could  be 
secured  with  which  to  test  its  effect  in 
the  clinic,  for  up  to  that  time  only  small 
amounts  had  been  obtained.  Having 
ascertained  that  active  extracts  could  be 
secured  readily  from  foetal  pancreas  (in 
which  the  digesting  ferments  are  absent), 
and  even  under  certain  conditions  from 
the  gland  in  full  grown  oxen.  Dr  J.  B. 
Collip  (professor  of  Biochemistry  in  the 
University  of  Alberta)  who  is  at  present 
on  a  year's  leave  of  absence  in  the  Depart- 
ment of  Pathological  Chemistry  of  this 
University  was  asked  to  collaborate  in 
the  research  particularly  to  prepare  an 
extract  from  ox  pancreas  which  could  be 
given,  by  subcutaneous  injection,  to  man 
without  causing  any  toxic  symptoms  or 
infections  and  was  at  the  same  time 
capable  of  reducing  the  symptoms  of 
diabetes. 

"Through  the  courtesy  of  Professor 
Duncan  Graham,  several  cases  of  acute 
diabetes  in  the  wards  for  metabolic  diseases 
at  the  Toronto  General  Hospital  were 
given  the  extract  and  the  effects  observed 
accurately  by  Dr  W.  R.  Campbell  and 
Dr  A.  A.  Fletcher.  The  results  of  this 
investigation  are  absolutely  convincing. 
They  show  that  the  percentage  of  sugar 
in  the  blood,  even  in  intense  diabetes,  is 
greatly  reduced,  that  sugar  almost  vanishes 
from  the  urine,  that  the  dreaded  acetone 
bodies  disappear,  and  that  there  is  evidence 
of  greatly  increased  combustion  of  sugar 
by  the  patient.  In  the  treatment  of 
diabetes  it  is  the  object  of  every  physician 
to  remove  these  symptoms  which  he 
endeavours  to  do  by  dieting,  muscular 
evercise,  etc.,  for  it  is  known  that  if  this 
be  accomplished  life  is  prolonged  and  in 
some  cases  that  the  disease  gets  much  less 
severe.  The  pancreatic  extracts  therefore 
must  be  of  great  therapeutic  value  and  it 
is  almost  certain  that  their  administration 
will  greatly  prolong  life. 

It  will,  however,  take  several  years  to 
prove  that  this  is  really  the  case  and  in 
order  to  conduct  the  necessary  investiga-, 
tions  attention  is  being  given  in  the 
Physiological  Department  to  the  prepara- 
tion of  the  extract  in  bulk,  to  questions  of 
dosage  and  to  a  thorough  investigation  of

the  cause  of  its  action  and  of  certain  toxic 
effects  which  excessive  amounts  of  it  have 
been  detected  to  bring  about.  This  work 
has  been  rendered  possible  through  the 
financial  aid  generously  given  by  the 
Connaught  Laboratories  of  this  Univer- 
sity. Practically  the  entire  staff  of  the 


Department  of  Physiology  is  devoting  all 
the  time  that  is  available  for  research 
to  these  problems,  and  the  results  so  far 
obtained  indicate  that  a  discovery  of 
decided  importance  has  been  made,  the 
practical  applications  of  which  it  is  difficult 
to  forecast." 


The  Varsity  Veterans'  Association  is  Disbanded 


LATE  one  afternoon  recently  while  the 
writer  was  making  his  way  from  the 
Parliament  Buildings  to  the  Univer- 
sity Buildings  on  College  Street,  he  en- 
countered a  stocky  young  man  hastily 
swinging  his. wooden  leg  in  the  direction  of 
Hart  House.  In  response  to  a  call  and  an 
inquiry  as  to  whither  bent,  he  stated  that 
he  was  on  his  way  to  perform  an  ' '  autopsy ' ' 
on  the  Varsity  Veterans'  Association. 

The  Veterans'  Association,  which  since 
the  close  of  the  war  has  occupied  a  singular 
position  in  undergraduate  life,  has  passed 
out  of  existence.  Its  passing  is  due 
primarily,  to  the  changed  attitude  of  the 
returned  man  in  which  he  leaves  off  his 
active  service  button  and  is  no  longer  par- 
ticular about  consorting  with  his  erstwhile 
brothers-in-arms;  and  secondarily  to  the 
fact  that  the  ex-service  students  are  taking 
a  prominent  part  in  general  undergraduate 
activities  and  have  little  time  to  spare. 

The  Veterans'  Association  came  into 
being  in  the  spring  of  1919  and  for  a  time 
showed  remarkable  life.  The  matter  of 
impressing  upon  the  Federal  Government 
the  advisability  of  instituting  a  re-establish- 
ment scheme  for  university  students  similar 
to  that  in  England  was  taken  up.  A 
Dominion-wide  federation  of  university 
veterans'  organizations  was  formed,  lobbies 
were  conducted  at  Ottawa,  petitions  were 
presented,  and  publicity  work  carried  on. 
But  just  when  matters  seemed  ripe  for  a 
favourable  decision,  a  clamour  arose  for  a 
large  cash  bonus  for  all  ex-service  men  and 
the  Government  was  unable  to  give  special 
assistance  to  students. 

Having  lost  at  Ottawa  the  Association 
sought  assistance  for  needy  men  among 
its  members  nearer  home.  A  number 
of  instances  of  need  were  enumerated  to 
the  Alumni  Association  and  as  a  result  the 
Memorial  Loan  Fund  was  instituted. 

In  the  production  of  P.B.I,  or  Mademoi- 
selle of  Bully  Grenay  the  Veterans'  As- 


sociation enjoyed  a  successful  excursion 
into  the  realm  of  war  dramatics.  The  play 
was  written,  directed,  and  acted  by  mem- 
bers of  the  organization.  It  was  first  pro- 
duced at  Hart  House  Theatre  and  has 
since  been  given  several  times  at  down- 
town theatres,  and  has  toured  Canada 
from  Montreal  to  the  Pacific  Coast. 

The  Association  took  the  initiative  in 
the  matter  of  raising  a  fund  to  provide  the 
name  tablets  of  the  fallen  in  connection 
with  the  University  War  Memorial.  It 
turned  over  from  its  funds  $700  to  guaran- 
tee the  organization  expenses  of  raising 
the  amount  required.

Educational  Association  Again  Meets  at  University 


ONCE  again  the  parliament  of  teachers 
of  the  Province  of  Ontario  has  met. 
Older  than  Confederation  itself,  the 
Ontario  Educational  Association  has  been 
holding  its  annual  meetings  in  Ontario  for 
sixty-one  years  without  interruption.  The 
little  band  of  the  sixties  that  gathered  at 
Easter  week  to  discuss  educational  prob- 
lems has  grown  to  a  multitude  that  taxes 
any  single  auditorium  in  the  city.  As  it 
has  grown  in  size,  so  has  it  increased  in 
enthusiasm  and  all  the  eagerness  and 
vitality  of  early  spring  was  demonstrated 
in  the  discussions  and  reports  of  the  differ- 
ent sections. 

The  Association  is  now  so  large  that  a 
number  of  sub-divisions  are  necessary  and 
to-day  it  boasts  of  twenty-eight  distinct 
groups  or  societies.  Each  group  has  its 
headquarters,  and  meetings  of  all  the  sec- 
tions take  place  simultaneously  in  different 
rooms  of  University  buildings.  In  this 
way  the  whole  range  of  education  is 
covered  from  reformed  spelling  to  classics 
and  from  the  League  of  Empire  to  hygiene. 
The  Association  has  grown  to  such  pro- 
portions that  to-day  it  is  recognized  as 
being  thoroughly  representative  of  all 
those  engaged  in  the  actual  work,  and 
supervision  of  primary  and  secondary 
education  throughout  the  Province. 

There  were  over  seventeen  hundred  in 
actual  attendance  at  the  convention  and 
of  these  some  seven  hundred  were  regis- 
tered in  the  Trustees'  and  Ratepayers' 
section.  To  enumerate  all  the  subjects 
considered  by  the  different  branches  of  the 
Association  is  unnecessary,  but  the  titles 
of  even  a  few  of  them  show  us  that  prac- 
tically all  the  vital  problems  of  the  day 
come  within  the  range  of  the  teachers  of 
the  provincial  schools. 

On  Tuesday  evening  the  General  As- 
sociation was  addressed  in  Convocation 
Hall  by  the  President,  Dr  John  Waugh, 
Chief  Inspector  of  Public  Schools,  and  by 
Professor  Theodore  Scares  of  the  Univer- 
sity of  Chicago,  who  held  his  vast  audience 
spellbound  by  his  talk  of  little  more  than 
half-an-hour  on  "Moral  Values  in  the 
School  Curriculum". 

The  tone  of  the  discussion  on  Wednesday 
evening  was  the  importance  of  education 
in  building  up  a  distinct  Canadian  nation- 
ality. The  first  speaker  was  Professor  J.  L. 
Morrison,  of  Queen's  University,  who  spoke 


on  "  Young  Canada  and  the  Relation  be- 
tween Canadian  Nationality  and  Canadian 
Education".  This  was  followed  by^  an 
address  by  Mr  J.  T.  M.  Anderson,  the 
director  of  education  among  new  Canadians 
at  Regina,  Saskatchewan,  whose  subject 
was  "The  Public  School  and  Nation 
Building". 

Various  other  topics  that  indicate  the 
scope  of  the  Association  were  the  "Prob- 
lem of  the  Wayward  Child,"  which  was 
discussed  by  Judge  Mott  of  the  Toronto 
Juvenile  Court;  "The  Value  of  Social  His- 
tory in  the  School  and  University,"  by 
Professor  C.  R.  Fay,  Professor  of  Economic 
History  at  the  University  of  Toronto; 
"Canadian  Art,"  by  Mr  Eric  Brown, 
Director  of  the  National  Gallery  at 
Ottawa;  "Latin  and  the  Trend  of  Educa- 
tion," by  Dean  Gordon  Laing;  "Chrono- 
somes  in  Relation  to  Heredity,"  by  Pro- 
fessor W.  H.  Piersol. 

Among  the  subjects  which  aroused  great 
discussion  was  the  question  of  Reformed 
Spelling  which  is  still  a  very  much  mooted 
project,  and  the  idea  of  the  best  world- 
speech  was  discussed  by  prominent  educa- 
tionalists. The  Teachers'  Federation,  both 
men  and  women,  were  loud  in  their  claim 
that  they  were  not  merely  a  labour  union, 
as  described  by  their  trustees,  but  they 
aimed  rather  to  raise  the  professional 
status  of  teachers.  A  notable  feature  was 
the  unusual  amount  of  attention  given  by 
several  sections  to  the  peculiar  problems 
of  the  rural  school.  Various  strong  argu- 
ments for  consolidated  schools  were 
brought  forward. 

On  the  whole  this  year's  meeting  of  the 
Ontario  Educational  Association  was  at 
least  as  successful,  if  not  more  so,  than  the 
meeting  last  year,  which  was  so  infinitely 
ahead  of  all  previous  gatherings.  .The  new 
president  is  Mr  J.  G.  Elliott,  editor  of  the 
Kingston  Whig,  and  for  many  years  a 
member  of  the  Board  of  Education  for  his 
city.  One  suggestion  that  has  frequently 
been  made  is  that  the  province  of  the 
Ontario  Educational  Association  should  be 
enlarged  to  include  universities  and  their 
problems,  for  as  yet  they  do  not  come 
within  the  scope  of  these  meetings.  In 
the  near  future  we  hope  that  provision  will 
be  made  for  a  more  general  exchange  of 
ideas  on  higher  as  well  as  secondary  and 
elementary  education.

Does  the  English  Course  in  Arts  Stifle  Creative  Faculties? 


HPHERE  are  three  kinds  of  English  at 
J.  the  University — English  as  it  is 
spoken,  English  as  it  is  written,  and 
English  as  it  is  studied.  With  the  first  we 
are  not  concerned  here,  for  the  simple 
reason  that  the  University  makes  no  pre- 
tence of  teaching  undergraduates  how  to 
talk.  It  does  pretend  to  teach  them  how 
to  write  English,  and  how  to  study  and 
appreciate  the  great  works  of  English 
literature.  Students  are  accepted  at  the 
University  on  the  assumption  that  they 
at  least  speak  English  and  understand  it 
when  it  is  spoken,  although  only  too  often 
their  vocabularies  are  a  polyglot  mixture 
of  slang  and  colloquialism. 

The  fundamental  idea  underlying  the 
teaching  of  English  at  the  various  Arts 
faculties  at  Toronto  is  appreciation — how 
to  appreciate  the  different  forms  of  com- 
position, how  to  appreciate  and  understand 
the  masterpieces  of  English  literature. 
The  words  of  the  calendar  read  "  Familiar- 
ity with  and  intelligent  appreciation  of  the 
following  texts."  A  systematic  study  is 
made  of  the  development  of  our  literature 
from  the  time  of  Chaucer  to  the  pre- 
Raphaelite  school.  It  practically  amounts 
to  studying  in  turn  the  successive  periods 
of  English  literature.  In  the  first  year  an 
attempt  is  made  to  give  a  general  back- 
ground for  the  benefit  of  those  who  are 
unable  to  complete  their  course.  In  the 
next  three  years  special  emphasis  is  laid 
on  the  works  of  Shakespeare;  transition 
and  early  nineteenth  century  prose  and 
poetry,  from  Goldsmith  to  Byron  and 
Locke  to  Carlyle;  and  culminating  in  the 
later  nineteenth  century  literature  from 
Shelley  to  Morris  and  the  works  of  Ruskin, 
Arnold,  Mill,  Bagehot,  Carlyle,  and 
Thackeray. 

In  the  honour  courses,  a  more  intensive 
study  of  the  subjects  is  demanded  and  in 
addition  to  this  more  general  background 
there  are  special  courses  in  Chaucer  and 
Old  English  Grammar;  in  Milton  and 
seventeenth  century  literature;  in  later 
seventeenth  and  early  eighteenth  century 
works  including  those  of  Dryden,  Addison, 
Pope,  and  Boswell;  in  a  study  of  Shake- 
speare and  the  English  Drama  to  1642; 
and  in  the  trend  of  thought  of  the  English 
writers  in  the  nineteenth  century. 


Side  by  side  with  this  work  goes  the 
writing  of  essays.  Original  subjects  may 
be  selected  during  the  first  two  years,  but 
as  a  general  rule  all  the  essays  have  a 
direct  bearing  on  the  texts.  Students 
are  encouraged  to  interpret  the  poems 
they  read,  to  discuss  the  theories  de- 
veloped, to  compare  authors  and  in  every 
way  to  develop  their  own  powers  of 
criticism  and  analysis.  The  result  of  all 
this  is  that  by  the  end  of  the  fourth  year 
the  average  student  usually  possesses  a 
fairly  keen  insight  into  the  merits  or  de- 
merits of  a  piece  of  prose  or  poetry,  com- 
bined with  a  certain  facility  in  essay- 
writing.  In  other  words  he  is  a  not  half- 
bad  critic. 

But  is  not  that  the  very  denunciation 
of  the  whole  system?  It  is  critical  rather 
than  constructive,  appreciative  rather  than 
creative.  It  allows  no  scope  for  practical 
work  on  the  part  of  the  student.  He  is 
given  no  encouragement  in  studying,  for 
example,  the  construction  of  a  one-act 
play  from  the  point  of  view  of  construction 
alone.  He  is  not  even  allowed  to  submit 
a  sonnet  as  part  of  his  term  work.  If  he 
feels  inclined  to  indulge  in  a  little  original 
writing  it  is  understood  to  be  purely  on  the 
side,  and  as  often  as  not  his  instructors  in 
English  are  wholly  unaware  of  his  essays 
in  this  direction. 

Is  it,  moreover,  necessary  to  spend  four 
years  at  the  most  crucial  period  of  a  life- 
time in  acquiring  an  ''intelligent  apprecia- 
tion" of  English  literature?  Surely  this 
is  at  least  paVtially  developed  during  high 
school  and  to  spend  four  years  on  the 
critical  study'  of  English  is  a  waste. 

The  wr  ter  remembers  hearing  a  mem- 
ber of  the  English  staff  remark  that 
he  found  that  the  study  of  pure  English 
was  impossible,  for  one  kept  branching  off 
into  other  fields,  into  philosophy  or  eco- 
nomics, or  kindred  subjects  opened  up  by 
the  study  of  English  literature. 

The  most  dangerous  part  of  this  system, 
however,  is  that  in  developing  the  critical 
faculties  we  often  stifle  the  creative 
faculties  at  birth.  The  four  years  at 
College  are  the  most  impressionable  years 
of  youth  and  they  should  be  the  most 
productive.  No  one  will  decry  the  im- 
portance nor  the  magnitude  of  critical

work.  But  after  all  it  should  be  secondary. 
The  natural  order  of  things  is  creation, 
then  criticism,  and  any  institution  that 
develops  the  analytical  powers  at  the 
expense  of  the  constructive  is  injurious. 

Unless,  on  the  other  hand,  there  is  a 
similar  institution  turning  out  construc- 
tive workers.  Are  our  creative  writers 
being  educated  in  the  world  at  large  and 
our  arm-chair  critics  at  the  University, 
or  are  our  writers  being  forced  to  go  to 
the  United  States  for  the  technical  training 
denied  them  in  their  own  country?  Is  the 
University  to  be  divorced  entirely  from 
the  poets,  the  dramatists,  the  journalists 
and  novelists  of  our  country?  Have  we 


departed  entirely  from  the  old  tradition 
that  a  university  should  be  the  fount  of 
literature  and  the  fine  arts? 

Why  should  we  not  encourage  writing 
of  all  kinds  at  the  University  of  Toronto? 
There  has  been  a  rumour  abroad  to  the 
effect  that  a  course  in  Journalism  will  be 
eatablished  here.  It  is  to  be  hoped  that 
this  is  not  an  idle  rumour.  It  might  be 
that  such  encouragement  of  one  form  of 
writing  in  a  Canadian  University  would 
be  the  avenue  of  approach  to  development 
along  other  lines  and  eventually  be  the 
most  decisive  step  in  establishing  a  definite 
national  literature.  It  should  be  worth 
the  experiment.  A.L. 


St  Michael's  Enjoys  Singular  Growth 


SINCE  federating  with  the  University 
St  Michael's  College  has  enjoyed  an 
expansion  which  is  probably  un- 
paralleled in  the  history  of  the  University. 
In  twelve  years'  time  the  attendance  has 
increased  nearly  700  per  cent.  In  1910 
the  enrolment  was  37;  in  1911,  49;  in  1912, 
83;  in  1913,  86; in  1914,  114;  in  1915,  119; 
in  1916,  140;  in  1917,  173;  in  1918,  166; 
in  1919,  162;  in  1920,  186;  in  1921,  206; 
in  1922,  242. 

Women  students  were  first  admitted  in 
1912,  in  which  year  there  were  eight  in 
attendance.  This  year  there  are  113  en- 
rolled as  compared  with  129  men. 

Another  very  satisfactory  and  note- 
worthy feature  of  the  work  of  the  College 
is  that  approximately  one-third  of  the  men 
and  one-quarter  of  the  women  are  in 
honour  courses.  These  percentages  surpass 
materially  those  of  any  other  College,  and 
indicate  the  calibre  of  the  students  at- 
tending. 

It  was  in  the  fall  of  1906  that  the  teach- 
ing of  University  work  began  with  the  first 
year  of  the  pass  course  at  St  Michael's. 
For  sixty  years  prior  to  that  time  the  Col- 
lege had  followed  its  own  course  and 
though  the  school  years  were  grouped 
differently,  the  Arts  work  paralleled  in  the 
main  the  work  of  the  present  pass  course. 
The  Federation  gave  an  impetus  to  the 
University  grade  work  and  what  the 
normal  attendance  at  the  College  will  be, 
only  the  future  can  tell. 

The  College  has  plans  for  new  and  large 
buildings  for  Arts  work,  but  these  plans 


have  been  temporarily  disarranged  through 
the  appropriation  by  the  city  of  Toronto 
of  certain  lands  required  for  the  extension 
of  Terauley  Street.  A  board  of  arbitration 
is  deciding  what  compensation  will  be 
given  by  the  city,  and  when  this  is  decided 
the  College  will  be  in  a  position  to  make 
other  plans.

Connaught  Laboratories  Publish  Research  Papers 


THE  ramifications  of  the  University's 
service  to  the  country  are  further 
evidenced  in  the  publication  by  the 
Connaught  Laboratories  of  a  volume  of 
studies  setting  forth  the  results  of  experi- 
ments carried  on  in  these  Laboratories. 
It  contains  eighteen  papers  in  all  by  ten 
members  of  the  staff,  and  covers  investiga- 
tions in  various  fields  connected  with 
antitoxins,  sera,  and  vaccines.  The  studies 
are  being  distributed  to  laboratories  the 
world  over  and  to  Canadian  Medical  men 
interested  in  this  branch  of  research. 
Copies  may  be  had  on  application  to  the 
Connaught  Laboratories,  University  of 
Toronto. 

It  was  in  1914  that  Professor  J.  G. 
Fitzgerald  first  established,  with  the  sup- 
port of  Sir  Edmund  Osier,  a  small  anti- 
toxin laboratory  at  the  University.  In 
1915,  thanks  to  the  generosity  of  Colonel 
Albert  Gooderham,  a  farm  of  fifty  acres 
was  secured  a  few  miles  from  the  Univer- 
sity  and  laboratories  and  stables  erected 
for  the  production  of  public  health  bio- 
logical products.  In  1917  this  splendid 
gift  was  formally  presented  to  the  Univer- 
sity by  Colonel  Gooderham.  According 
to  the  terms  of  the  deed  of  gift  the  Labora- 
tories were  donated  for  the  purpose  of 
providing  facilities  for  research  in  Preven- 
tive Medicine  and  for  the  production  of 
antitoxins,  sera,  and  vaccines.  They  con- 
stitute a  separate  department  of  the 
University  and  are  intimately  related  to 


the  Department  of  Hygiene  and  Preven- 
tive Medicine,  the  personnel  of  the  two 
departments  being  in  large  part  the  same. 

The  antitoxin  division  of  the  Labora- 
tories, which  is  under  the  immediate  direc- 
tion of  Dr  R.  D.  Defries,  has  expanded 
greatly  during  the  last  year.  The  demand 
for  the  products  has  exceeded  that  of 
previous  years,  and  the  area  served  has 
increased.  All  the  diphtheria  antitoxin, 
smallpox  vaccine,  and  other  health 
biological  products  distributed  free 
by  the  Public  Health  Departments  of 
Ontario  and  Saskatchewan,  are  obtained 
from  these  Laboratories.  The  Provinces 
of  Alberta,  Manitoba,  New  Brunswick, 
Nova  Scotia,  and  Prince  Edward  Island 
have  been  supplied  in  large  part.  New 
Zealand,  British  West  Indies,  British 
Honduras,  China,  and  the  United  States 
are  included  in  the  list  of  countries  to 
which  antitoxin  is  being  sent.  The  pro- 
ducts at  present  being  prepared  and  dis- 
tributed are:  diphtheria  and  tetanus 
antitoxin,  anti-meningitis  serum,  type  1, 
anti-pneumococcus  serum,  normal  horse 
serum,  smallpox  vaccine,  anti-rabies  vac- 
cine (Pasteur  Treatment),  and  anti-typhoid 
vaccine. 

A  satisfactory  feature  of  the  antitoxin 
division  is  that  it  is  not  only  self-support- 
ing, but  is  able  to  provide  as  well  funds 
for  the  maintenance  of  the  research 
division. 


Nearly  a  Century  of  Service 


IN  1927  the  Provincial  University  will 
complete  the  first  century  of  its  exis- 
tence; in  1941,  its  first  century  of  actual 
teaching.  Educationally  that  period  of 
time  has  been  filled  with  achievement — 
more  than  20,000  graduates  have  gone  out 
to  occupy  their  places  and  to  do  their  work 
in  the  world  of  affairs.  Financially  that 
period  has  been  largely  one  of  stressful 
struggle — usually  the  University's  work 
has  been  hampered  by  lack  of  necessary 
funds.  Criticism  there  has  been  always 
and  always  will  be,  for,  while  human 
nature  is  what  it  is,  the  Anglo-Saxon  will 
always  exercise  his  traditional  right  to 


criticize.  But  through  it  all,  through 
educational  prosperity  and  financial  ad- 
versity, in  times  of  storm  and  in  periods 
of  comparative  calm,  the  Provincial  Uni- 
versity has  maintained  and  will  maintain 
its  status  as  the  greatest,  without  question 
the  greatest,  single  asset  in  the  possession 
of  the  people  of  Ontario.  It  is  a  trust 
handed  on  by  its  founders  and  the  early 
settlers  of  this  Province  to  the  present 
generation.  No  University  has  more 
reason  to  be  proud  of  its  graduates;  no 
graduates  have  greater  cause  for  honouring 
their  Alma  Mater.

Criticism,  it  should  be  remembered,  is 
of  many  types — constructive,  destructive, 
helpful,  malevolent,  kindly,  carping.  And 
opinions,  no  matter  how  emphatically 
stated,  are  not  necessarily  facts.  Opinions 
are  expressed  as  generalizations,  but  critics 
are  often  rather  prone  to  generalize  from 
too  few  particulars.  It  often  happens  that 
the  individual  who  is  most  facile  in 
voluminous  criticism  is  least  diligent  in 
his  search  for  facts;  to  express  adverse 
opinions  is  easy,  to  discover  actual  facts 
is  a  laborious  undertaking.  Apparent 
paradoxes,  too,  delight  the  human  mind, 
especially  the  critical  mind.  For  example, 
it  is  a  pleasure  to  say  and  to  believe  that 
the  younger  brother  is  more  talented  and 
more  successful  than  the  .elder,  that  a  cer- 
tain small  man  is  more  muscular  than  a 
certain  large  man,  that  a  small  university 
does  better  work  than  a  large  one.  Such 
paradoxes  are  intended  to  startle  and,  be- 
cause they  startle,  they  please;  but  they 
are  usually  opinions  rather  than  facts. 
Again,  it  is  the  popular  thing  to  say  that 
a  university  weans  a  young  man  away 
from  the  farm,  but  in  the  process  of  such 
weaning  there  must  be  at  least  four  factors, 
the  young  man  himself,  his  parents  or 
advisers,  the  farm,  and  the  university. 
Of  all  these,  however,  the  university  only 


is  censured,  except  by  those  who  do  more 
than  superficial  thinking. 

In  the  present  industrial  and  material 
era  the  popular  maxim  is  "Get  Results". 
He  who  does  not  "get  results"  is  a  failure. 
But,  unfortunately,  in  the  bright  lexicon  of 
business,  the  word  "results"  is  always 
defined  as  "dollars".  The  successful  sales- 
man has  no  difficulty  in  securing  large 
remuneration  because  he  brings  in  dollars 
to  his  firm.  The  workman  demands  and 
receives  good  wages  because  his  work 
means  dollars  to  his  employer.  The  value 
of  education,  however,  cannot  be  com- 
puted in  dollars;  hence  it  may  easily  and 
flippantly  be  said  of  the  educator  that  he 
does  not  "get  results".  Education  does 
not  necessarily  result  in  an  increased  in- 
flow of  dollars,  hence  money  is  withheld 
from  education.  A  municipal  council  has 
been  known  to  spend  cheerfully  one  million 
dollars  on  a  livestock  arena  and  to  protest 
vigorously  at  an  expenditure  of  half  a 
million  on  schools.  A  school  trustee  has 
been  known  to  pay  to  the  manager  of  his 
farm  four  times  the  salary  that  he  votes 
to  the  teacher  of  the  village  school.  And 
these  are  typical  cases.  When  increased 
expenditure  is  under  consideration,  educa- 
tion usually  comes  last  on  the  list,  but 
when  decreases  are  being  effected  it  in- 


View  of  the  Observatory  Buildings  which  stood  on  the  site  now  occupied  by  the  Physics  Building.

variably  comes  first.  Education  "gets 
results"  when  it  develops  the  faculties, 
gives  power,  initiative,  trains  to  think, 
trains  to  live,  but  these  "results"  cannot 
be  measured  in  dollars  just  as  the  value  of 
air  and  light  and  water  cannot  so  be  com- 
puted. 

When  the  history  of  a  great  university 
is  under  review,  when  an  estimate  of  its 
work  and  of  its  needs  is  being  made,  the 
considerations  set  forth  in  the  two  pre- 
ceding paragraphs  should  not  be  over- 
looked. In  an  age  when  "business  booms 
and  cash  counts,"  it  is  likely  that  the  im- 
portance of  higher  education  will  be  under- 
valued and  the  function  of  a  university 
will  be  misunderstood.  All  the  greater,  at 
such  a  time,  is  the  necessity  that  those 
who  realize  what  the  University  of  Toronto 
means  to  the  Province  of  Ontario  and  to 
the  Dominion  of  Canada  should  come  to 
its  assistance. 

From  small  beginnings  nearly  one  hun- 
dred years  ago  the  Provincial  University 
has  developed  into  an  immense  institution 
with  activities  so  numerous  and  so  varied, 
with  an  organization  so  complex  and  yet 
so  well  co-ordinated,  that  no  casual  survey 
can  possibly  be  sufficient  to  grasp  the  full 
significance  of  the  immensity  of  the  work 
that  is  being  done.  There  are  the  Faculties 
of  Arts,  Medicine,  Applied  Science  and 
Engineering,  Education,  Forestry,  and 
Music; -the  four  great  Arts  Colleges — each 
a  good-sized  university  in  itself — Univer- 
sity College,  Victoria  College,  Trinity  Col- 
lege, St  Michael's  College;  the  two  theo- 
logical colleges,  Knox  and  Wycliffe;  the 
affiliated  institutions,  the  Royal  College 
of  Dental  Surgeons,  the  Ontario  Agricul-. 
tural  College,  the  Law  School,  the  Ontario 
College  of  Pharmacy,  the  Ontario  College 
of  Education,  the  Ontario  Veterinary  Col- 
lege, the  Toronto  Conservatory  of  Music; 
also,  the  Toronto  General  Hospital,  and 
the  Royal  Ontario  Museum. 

Huge,  indeed,  is  this  educational  institu- 
tion which  has  gradually  grown  up  for  the 
training  of  the  sons  and  daughters  of 
Ontario.  The  Province  has  done  well  and 
wisely  to  acquire  all  this  educational 
machinery;  the  Province  will  not  fail  to 
preserve  its  inheritance  by  providing  ade- 
quate support.  This  duty — the  necessity 
of  holding  and  enlarging  so  great  an  asset — 
Ontario  owes  to  its  youth;  this  duty  the 


graduates  of  the  Provincial  University  will 
not  allow  Ontario  to  forget.  Important, 
it  is  true,  is  the  development  of  the  material 
resources  of  this  young  and  vigorous 
country;  more  important,  surely  it  is  safe 
to  affirm,  is  the  development  of  the  human 
resources  of  Ontario  and  of  Canada.' 
Elementary,  secondary,  higher  education, 
all  are  important;  if  one  suffers,  all  suffer. 
There  is  at  any  time  and  in  any  land  no 
more  profitable  field  for  the  investment  of 
funds  than  that  which  education  offers. 
Money  used  for  educational  purposes  is 
not  spent,  ^  it  is  not  wasted,  it  is  invested, 
for  education  is  one  of  the  principal  bul- 
warks of  civilization. 


The  Ontario 
Library  Association  Meeting 


r  I  'HERE  seems  to  be  something  about 
1  Easter  week  conducive  to  vigorous 
discussion;  perhaps  it  is  just  the 
spring  desire  to  have  something  new  to 
wear  or  think  about,  for  synonomous  with 
the  meeting  of  the  O.E.A.  at  the  Univer- 
sity, the  Ontario  Library  Association  held 
its  Easter  meeting  at  the  Public  Reference 
Library  on  College  Street.  The  conven- 
tion was  well  attended  from  all  parts  of 
Ontario  and  after  the  meetings  all  the 
departments  of  the  building  were  thrown 
open  for  a  sort  of  informal  reception. 

Toronto  is  the  leader  in  the  range  of  its 
library  activities  and  its  circulation  has 
increased  from  1,530,000  in  1920  to 
1,854,000  in  1921,  in  other  words  by  the 
circulation  of  an  additional  1,000  books  a 
day.  The  new  children's  branch  on  St 
George  Street  is  the  first  children's  building 
in  Canada  and  the  second  in  America. 
Dr  Hardy  gave  great  credit  to  Dr  George 
H.  Locke,  '93,  Toronto's  chief  librarian, 
for  developing  the  many  activities  in  con- 
nection with  the  libraries,  including  the 
Dramatic  Club,  the  Art  Club  and  the 
Music  Club,  all  of  which  are  in  a  flourishing 
condition.  On  the  whole,  library  condi- 
tions in  Ontario  are  steadily  on  the  UK-IK  1 
and  it  may  be  expected  that  the  future  will 
bring  forth  a  continued  progress. 


Early  Days  of  the  S.  P.  S. 

By  J.kL.  MORRIS,  '81 


FEW  students  went  up  for  matriculation 
examination    in    the    two-year    En- 
gineering Course  at  the  University  of 
Toronto  prior  to  1878.     The  writer  pre- 
sented himself  at  the  September  examina- 
tions of  that  year  and  found  that  he  was 
the  only  student  writing  on  this  course. 

This  two-year  course  was  the  only  avail- 
able one  at  the  time,  to  students  desiring 
a  training  in  Civil  Engineering  subjects. 
The  Military  College  at  Kingston  had 
opened  its  doors  the  same  year,  and  the 
Government  of  Ontario  had  seen  the  need 
of  a  more  practical  education  than  the 
University  was  giving  and  had  opened  the 
School  of  Practical  Science  at  Toronto  for 
students  desiring  an  Engineering  training. 

Professor  Alfred  Baker,  then  registrar 
for  University  College,  did  not  know  what 
to  do  with  a  student  who  wished  to  enter 
as  an  undergraduate,  in  a  course,  for 
which  there  were  no  special  lectures,  no 
drafting  rooms,  no  office  work,  and  no 
means  at  the  disposal  of  the  College  to 
carry  out  the  curriculum  of  the  University 
of  Toronto.  His  final  declaration  was, 
that  the  undergraduate  would  have  to 
take  such  lectures  as  would  be  to  his  ad- 
vantage from  the  professors  and  lecturers 
in  the  Arts  course,  or  take  a  course  in 
Science  in  the  new  School  of  Practical 
Science  Building  across  the  lawn  from  the 
College,  and  would  advise  seeing  Professor 
Galbraith. 

Looking  behind  at  that  architectural 
gem,  University  College,  and  then  in  front 
at  the  red  brick  pile,  with  "School  of 
Practical  Science  1878"  cut  over  the  main 
entrance,  there  was  no  doubt  in  my  mind 
that  a  grave  mistake  had  been  made  some- 
where, and  that  I  was  not  to  be  a  Univer- 
sity of  Toronto  undergraduate.  The  old 
School  comprised  about  one-third  of  the 
present  Engineering  Building,  with  the 
main  entrance  facing  University  College. 
The  basement  was  used  for  storage,  heat- 
ing, and  lavatories.  The  first  floor  was 
taken  up  exclusively  by  Chemical  and 
Mineralogical  Laboratories.  On  the  second 
floor  the  greater  part  was  taken  up  with 
Chemical  Laboratories,  leaving  to  the 
Engineering  Department  one  large  room 


on  the  east  side  of  the  building.  Through 
the  room  passed  a  hand  power  elevator. 
This  one  room  was  the  space  allowed  the 
Engineering  Department  for  drafting  room, 
and  for  all  of  the  lectures  given  by  the 
professor  of  Engineering. 

The  faculty  of  the  School  at  its  com- 
mencement was: 

H.  H.  Croft,  D.C.L.,  professor  of  Chem- 
istry. 

E.  J.  Chapman,  Ph.D.,  LL.D.,  professor 
of  Mineralogy  and  Geology. 

James  Loudon,  M.A.,  B.Sc.,  professor 
of  Biology. 

J.  Galbraith,  M.A.,  M.B.,  assistant  to 
the  professor  in  Chemistry. 

Professor  R..  Ramsay  Wright  was  secre- 
tary of  the  Board. 

Dr  Croft  resigned  after  the  Christmas 
term  of  1879,  and  was  replaced  by  W.  H. 
Pike,  M.A.,  Ph.D.,  as  professor  of  Chemis- 
try. All  pass  Chemistry  students  at  the 
Easter  Examinations  regretted  the  change,

as  practically  all  failed,  and  some  have 
not  yet  decided  whether  the  75  per  cent, 
on  Dr  Croft's  paper,  or  the  5  per  cent,  on 
Professor  Pike's  paper  was  the  proper 
value  of  their  knowledge  of  Chemistry. 

Professor  John  Galbraith  comprised  the 
whole  staff  of  the  School,  to  lecture  in 
mixed  Mathematics  and  Engineering  sub- 
jects, and  to  take  charge  of  the  drafting 
room  and  the  field  work.  This  did  not 
include  all  of  his  work  either  in  connection 
with  the  School,  for  students  who  were 
backward  in  subjects  not  included  in  his 
list  of  lectures  had  many  an  hour  given 
them  by  Professor  Galbraith,  who  was  an 
excellent  coach. 

Up  to  the  time  when  the  Hon.  J.  P. 
Whitney  took  into  consideration  the  in- 
crease of  remuneration  to  the  lecturers  and 
teaching  staff  of  the  School,  professors  in 
that  institution  were  receiving  just  about 
the  pay  of  a  good  draftsman  at  that  time. 
It  required  the  interest  and  determination 
of  a  man  of  Professor  Galbraith 's  standard 
to  have  stayed  with  the  School,  with  the 
attendance  stationary  for  some  years  and 
little  encouragement  from  the  powers  who 
controlled  the  purse  strings. 

The  Class  of  1878-79,  at  the  opening 
term  of  the  School,  consisted  of  six  stu- 
dents: 

John  McAree,  Craven  Ord,  W.  Gray, 
Clarence  C.  Gait,  George  S.  Hodgins  and 
James  J.  Morris. 

James  McAree  became  a  Dominion 
topographical  surveyor. 

Clarence  C.  Gait  was  a  mechanical  en- 
gineer with  the  Canadian  Pacific  Railway 
and  died  at  an  early  age  at  Carle  ton  Place. 
George  S.  Hodgins  is  still  at  active  work 
with  the  Dominion  Government  at  Ottawa. 
Mr  Ord  and  Mr  Gray  did  not  complete 
the  course. 

In  the  years  1879-80,  W.  F.  Tye  trans- 
ferred from  a  defunct  Engineering  course 
at  Ottawa  University  to  the  School,  and 
completed  his  course  in  the  Civil  Engineer- 
ing Branch.  He  is  one  of  the  best  known 
Canadian  engineers  in  our  profession  to-day 
and  was,  during  the  years  about  1905, 
chief  engineer  of  the  Canadian  Pacific 
Railway.  When  he  crossed  the  drafting 
room  the  floor  shook. 

During  this  same  year  there  entered  the 
regular  course  another  student  who  in 
Western  Canada  is  well  and  favorably 
known  to  the  Civil  Engineering  profession, 
Mr  J.  H.  Kennedy,  C.E. 


In  the  following  year  1880-81,  there 
came  from  Upper  Canada  College  as  a 
regular  student,  a  clever  and  energetic 
undergraduate,  Mr  George  H.  Duggan, 
who  gave  much  of  his  time  in  the  drafting 
room  to  making  details  of  fast  sailing 
yachts,  which  crystallized  into  winners  in 
later  years  on  the  waters  of  Lake  St 
Louise.  Mr  Duggan  is  now  president  of 
the  Dominion  Bridge  Co. 

In  the  same  year  there  entered  the 
School  a  student  of  quiet  demeanor  and 
few  words:  J.  W.  Tyrrell,  of  Hamilton, 
Ontario,  has  made  Schoolmen  proud  of  his 
achievements,  and  his  book,  Across  the 
Sub-Arctics  of  Canada,  lets  us  catch  a 
glimpse  of  what  he  had  endured  for  the 
benefit  of  exploration  and  Science. 

During  the  three  years  of  my  under- 
graduate course  about  twenty-five  entered 
the  School  as  regular  and  special  students, 
and  seven  graduated  in  the  regular  course. 

1881 — James  L.  Morris. 

1882— John  McAree,  Donald  Jeffrey  and 
J.  H.  Kennedy. 

1883— G.  H.  Duggan,  J.  W.  Tyrrell  and 
David  Burns. 

The  field  work  of  the  students  was  car- 
ried on  over  that  part  of  the  University 
grounds  now  covered  by  Convocation 
Hall,  the  Medical  Building  and  along  the 
ravine  from  College  Street  past  the  Sol- 
dier's Monument  towards  Bloor  Street. 

The  University  College  Literary  and 
Scientific  Society  amended  their  By-laws 
in  the  Christmas  term  of  1898  so  as  to  give 
all  regular  students  of  the  School  of  Prac- 
tical Science  the  privileges  of  membership. 

The  undergraduates  of  1878-79-80  took 
an  active  interest  in  University  sports  of 
all  kinds.  In  the  October  meet  of  1878 
(held  on  the  lawn  of  University  College) 
the  Science  Department  won  first  in  the 
walking  race  and  were  placed  in  the  steeple 
chase  and  mile. 

In  1879  at  the  October  sports,  Science 
won  the  mile  and  half-mile  and  was  placed 
in  the  walking  race. 

With  the  passing  of  Dean  Galbraith  and 
Dr  Ellis,  there  is  little  to  remind  the 
undergraduate  of  1878-81  of  the  Old  School 
and  its  associations,  but  to  have  known 
these  men  when  during  the  early  years 
success  did  not  seem  possible,  and  later 
when  they  saw  their  end  achieved,  is  to 
cherish  a  pleasing  and  lasting  memory. 


A  Daniel  Come  to  Judgment 


THE  promotion  to  the  Bench  of  Mr 
Daniel  O'Connell  removed  from  the 
ranks  of  the  practising  profession 
one  of  its  ablest  and  most  interesting 
members,  and  adds  to  the  goodly  company 
of  judges  a  man  of  wide  learning,  fine 
mind,  and  genial  attitude  to  life.  The 
appointment  has  met  with  the  enthusiastic 
approval  of  his  fellow  lawyers  and  of  the 
larger  public  to  whom  the  wise  administra- 
tion of  the  laws  is  a  concern.  It  remains 
for  THE  MONTHLY,  on  behalf  of  the  alumni 
of  the  University  of  Toronto,  to  offer  to 
Mr  O'Connell  congratulations  on  the 
honour  that  has  come  to  him. 

Daniel  O'Connell  came  up  to  the  Uni- 
versity in  the  fall  of  1886,  youthful, 
sprightly,  and  equal,  without  great  effort, 
to  the  demands  of  his  course.  Whether  or 
not  the  mighty  name,  or  racial  leaning  to 
the  ways  of  peace,  predisposed  him  to  Law 
is  not  known.  Fate,  however,  supplied 
the  contact  that  induced  the  charm. 
Innocently  attached  to  a  Hallowe'en  par- 
ade of  students — one  of  those  objectionable 
demonstrations  that  may  now  be  indulged 
in  only  by  permission  of  the  Caput — he 
became  a  subject  of  interest  to  an  observant 
policeman,  and  being  of  low  stature  was 
"gathered  in".  "Your  name?" — "Daniel 
O'Connell."  "Date  of  birth?"— "The 
seventeenth  of  March . "  "  Place  of  birth  ? ' ' 
—"South  Africa."  The  truth  had  all  the 
virtues  of  fiction.  The  sergeant  felt  that 
he  was  receiving  the  ictum  obliquum  on 
the  side  of  nationality,  but  was  startled 
by  the  bold  change  of  venue  implied  in  the 
third  answer.  Each  evasion  was  familiar 
to  him,  but  in  their  aggregate  there  was  a 
bewildering  inconsistency.  There  is  a 
maxim  of  the  lower  courts — deriving  from 
Solomon  it  is  believed — to  the  effect  that 
where  nothing  clearly  presents  itself  to  be 
done,  do  nothing.  The  young  offender 
was  freed,  the  sergeant  taking  advantage 
of  the  occasion,  however,  to  make  a 
speech.  It  is  said  that  the  speech,  fervent 
and  kindly  yet  without  remote  motive, 
was  the  subtle  influence  that  directed  the 
young  hearer  to  the  Law:  Felix  qui  potuit 
rerum  cognoscere  causas. 


On  making  his  degree,  Mr  O'Connell 
betook  himself  to  Osgoode  Hall,  and  in  due 
time  went  out  into  the  profession.  For 
some  years  his  lot  and  his  net  were  cast  in 
Peterborough.  It  seemed  at  one  time  that 
politics  would  claim  him,  but  he  hearkened 
not  to  the  call.  Soon  after  coming  to 
Toronto  he  was  elected  a  Bencher. 

In  all  things  pertaining  to  the  Univer- 
sity, Mr  O'Connell  has  kept  up  a  keen 
interest.  No  member  of  his  class  has  been

Association,  recently  elevated  to  the  Bench. 


more  faithful  in  attendance  at  the  re- 
union and  banquets,  where  always- — not 
without  provocation- — the  speech  of  the 
sergeant  has  been  a  feature  of  the  evening. 
In  the  recent  organization  of  the  Alumni 
Association  of  University  College  rTe  was 
very  active  and  is  first  vice-president  of 
the  organization.  In  Judge  O'Connell, 
his  College  and  his  University  will  always 
have  a  good  friend.  — A

The  Provincial  University's  Need  of  New  Buildings 


THAT  the  Provincial  University  should 
remove  from  its  present  situation  to 
a  site  adjacent  to  some  small  town 
in  Ontario  is  a  suggestion  sometimes 
seriously  put  forward  by  one  or  two 
serious-minded  people.  The  University 
did  that  once — when  the  first  building 
went  up  about  two  miles  from  the  City 
of  Toronto — and  the  pursuing  city  soon 
enfolded  it.  What  happened  once  might 
easily  happen  again.  And,  indeed,  what 
more  suitable  situation  could  there  be  for 
an  immense  provincial  institution  than  in 
the  capital  of  the  Province?  Here,  in  one 
of  the  most  beautiful  of  situations,  in  quiet 
and  yet  in  activity,  in  the  city  and  yet 
apart  from  it,  the  University  must  remain, 
the  intellectual  heart  of  the  whole  Province. 
The  Provincial  University  is  now  too 
large  to  move.  Apart  from  federated 
colleges  which  it  cannot  be  said  to  "own", 
apart  also  from  affiliated  colleges,  the 
University  of  Toronto  has  thirty-seven 
buildings,  the  replacement  value  of  which, 
at  a  moderate  estimate,  totals  nine  and  a 
half  millions  of  dollars.  To  keep  these 
buildings  heated  and  lighted,  to  keep  them 
clean  and  in  good  repair, 'to  renew  the 
ordinary  "wear  and  tear"  requires  a  very 
considerable  outlay  annually  and  the 
services  of  a  small  army  of  caretakers  and 
cleaners,  plumbers  and  steamfitters,  car- 
penters and  painters.  But  it  is  illustrative 
of  the  careful  and  thrifty  use  made  of 
available  revenue  by  the  University  authori- 
ties that  repairs  and  renewals  amount  to 
less  than  one  per  cent,  of  the  replacement 
values  of  the  buildings — a  record  which 
it  is  difficult,  if  not  impossible,  to  surpass 
anywhere. 

Another  illustration  of  the  fact  that 
effective  economy,  rather  than  penurious- 
ness,  characterizes  the  management  of  the 
Provincial  University  is  the  means  adopted 
for  the  heating  and  lighting  of  its  principal 
buildings.  The  central  heating  plant,  a 
low  building  which  nestles  close  to  the 
bank  of  the  ravine  near  the  west  side  of 
the  Parliament  Buildings,  supplies  heat 
and  light  to  University  College,  the 
Library,  the  Medical  Building,  the  Bio- 
logical Building,  the  Electrical  Building, 
the  Thermo-dynamics  Building,  the  Mining 
Building,  the  "Mill",  the  Engineering 
Building,  Convocation  Hall,  the  Physics 
and  the  Chemistry  Buildings,  the  Univer- 


sity Press,  Knox  College,  Hart  House, 
Wycliffe  College,  the  three  Men's  Resi- 
dences, Annesley  Hall,  the  Royal  Ontario 
Museum,  Victoria  College,  Burwash  Hall 
and  Library,  and  the  Household  Science 
Building.  The  construction  of  this  central 
plant  has  provided  the  most  economical 
means  possible  of  keeping  all  these  large 
buildings  comfortable  in  winter.  Less 
coal,  a  cheaper  grade  of  coal,  better  heating 
at  a  minimum  of  cost,  and  electric  lighting 
as  an  incidental  at  almost  no  cost,  are 
made  possible  by  this  system.  The  central 
heating  plant  is,  however,  working  at  the 
present  time  much  beyond  its  technical 
capacity  and  should  be  relieved  by  the 
erection  of  a  supplementary  plant  to  take 
care  of  its  surplus  "load"  and  of  the  new 
Anatomy  Building. 

Of  the  thirty-seven  buildings,  some  of 
which  are  large  but  many  of  which  are 
very  small,  twelve  were  formerly  private 
residences  and  have  been  re-fitted  to  serve 
University  needs.  Hart  House,  the  three 
men's  residences,  and  the  six  women 
students'  buildings  are,  of  course,  practi- 
cally self-supporting.  The  Department 
of  Political  Science,  one  of  the  largest 
departments,  occupies  two  rehabilitated 
residences  on  St.  George  Street.  To  be 
convinced  of  the  impossibility  of  making 
satisfactory  classrooms  out  of  private 
houses  one  needs  only  to  visit  these  two 
places. 

The  University  of  Toronto,  if  its  work 
is  not  to  be  seriously  curtailed,  needs  new 
buildings  and  needs  them  immediately. 
Historic  University  College,  oldest  of  the 
group  of  great  federated  Colleges,  is  in 
rather  a  sorry  plight.  Not  because  the 
building  is  unsuited  for  teaching  purposes 
for,  apart  from  some  difficulties  in  regard 
to  modern  systems  of  ventilation,  it  is  a 
good  college  building,  but  because  many 
of  the  classrooms  which  it  sorely  needs  have 
been  pre-empted  by  the  administrative 
offices  of  the  University  of  Toronto. 
Legally  and  technically  there  is  no  reason 
for  these  offices  occupying  valuable  space 
in  this  particular  college  but  they  are  there 
because  there  has  been  no  other  place  to 
put  them.  There  are  the  offices  of  the 
President,  the  Registrar,  the  Bursar,  the 
Superintendent  of  Buildings  and  Grounds, 
the  Director  of  University  Extension, 
all  strictly  university  offices  but  all  housed

in  a  college  building.  As  a  consequence 
classrooms  are  insufficient  in  number  and 
overcrowded,  professors  are  "bunched" 
two  in  a  room,  abandoned  subterranean 
sculleries  and  kitchens  are  used  for  teaching 
purposes.  A  university  office  building  is, 
in  the  interests  of  University  College,  an 
urgent  necessity. 

Why  does  a  professor  need  a  private 
room  and  what  harm  is  done  if  two  pro- 
fessors occupy  the  same  room?  In  the 
professor's  private  room  the  weak  student 
receives  additional  help;  to  that  room  the 
brilliant  student  goes  for  a  special  con- 
sultation; there  the  average  student  goes 
occasionally  with  a  difficult  problem;  in 
that  room  essays  and  exercises  are  dis- 
cussed, corrected,  and  marked  by  the 
professor  with  the  students.  Can  such 
work  be  done  simultaneously  in  the  same 
room  by  two  professors  with  two  students? 
Not  certainly  to  the  advantage  of  all  con- 
cerned ! 

In  a  most  deplorable  condition  is  the 
Forestry  and  Botany  Building  in  Queen's 
Park  on  the  east  side  of  the  Parliament 
Buildings.  When  the  royal  salute  is  being 
fired  on  the  King's  Birthday  one  cannot 
feel  safe  in  that  building;  it  is  so  easy  to 


imagine  that  if,  by  some  mistake,  an  extra 
gun  were  fired,  the  twenty-second  report 
would  bring  the  walls  tumbling  about  one's 
ears!  This  is  another  building  that  is 
intolerably  overcrowded,  poorly  venti- 
lated, badly  lighted,  and  in  every  way 
unsuitable  for  use  as  a  modern  university 
building.  And  it  is  not  within  the  scope 
of  man's  ingenuity  to  improve  these  con- 
ditions without  the  erection  of  a  new 
building. 

The  University  of  Toronto  would  have 
had  these  buildings  before  now  had  not 
the  Act  based  on  the  Report  of  the 
University  Commission  of  1906  been  so 
amended  in  1914  as  to  limit  the  University's 
share  of  the  succession  duties  to  half  a 
million  dollars  per  annum.  That  reminds 
one  of  a  similar  "  joke  "  played  on  Columbia 
University  by  the  governor  of  the  colony 
of  New  York  in  1770  and  1774  when  two 
tracts  of  land  comprising  54,000  acres  were 
donated  to  that  University  but  were  found 
a  few  years  later  really  to  belong  to  Ver- 
mont and  were,  of  course,  taken  over 
without  compensation!  It  is  so  easy  to 
economize  on  education — but  such  eco- 
nomy is  really  national  waste! 


Dr  Chant  to  Visit  Australia 


Without  doubt,  greater  interest  is  attached  to 
the  total  eclipse  of  the  sun  occurring  on  September 
21,  of  this  year,  than  to  any  other  eclipse  in  history, 
and  the  most  careful  preparations  are  being  made 
by  astronomers  to  observe  it. 

One  of  Einstein's  predictions  based  upon  his 
theory  of  Relativity  was  that  a  ray  of  light  in 
passing  the  sun  is  deflected  inwards,  so  that  the 
stars  surrounding  the  eclipsed  sun  would  appear  to 
be  displaced  from  their  normal  positions  by  a 
measurable  amount.  In  order  to  test  this  it  is 
necessary  to  photograph  the  eclipsed  sun  and  to 
compare  the  plate  with  one  of  the  same  region  of 
stars  taken  about  three  months  previous,  the  two 
plates  being  obtained  under  identical  conditions 
of  altitude  of  the  sun,  length  of  exposure,  etc.  The 
test  was  first  applied  during  the  eclipse  of  May  1919, 
when  plates  taken  by  British  astronomers  seemed 
to  show  that  there  was  a  displacement  of  the  stars 
surrounding  the  sun,  thus  giving  evidence  in 
favour  of  the  theory.  There  was  no  total  eclipse 
in  1920,  and  that  of  1921  was  only  visible  at  the 
south  pole,  but  a  more  thorough  test  is  to  be  made 
this  year. 

The  path  of  totality  commences  in  Somaliland, 
crosses  the  Indian  Ocean,  passing  over  the  Maldive 
Islands  and  Christmas  Island,  reaches  Australia 
in  latitude  200°S,  and  after  crossing  the  continent 
emerges  at  the  east  coast  almost  at  the  boundary 
between  Queensland  and  New  South  Wales.  It 
,  ends  in  the  Pacific  Ocean  about  5°  north  of  New 
Zealand.  Many  expeditions  will  be  sent  to  various 


stations,   chiefly   to  test  the  Einstein    hypothesis. 

Professor  Chant,  accompanied  by  his  wife  and 
daughter,  will  observe  the  eclipse  along  with  the 
Lick  Observatory  party.  The  station  selected  is 
on  90  Mile  Beach  on  the  west  coast  of  Australia, 
difficult  of  access  but  possessing  the  most  favourable 
conditions.  The  probability  of  rain  and  clouds  is 
almost  negligible.  The  time  of  the  eclipse  is  at 
1.40  p.m.,  so  that  the  sun's  altitude  will  be  high, 
which  is  very  desirable.  The  Australian  Govern- 
ment has  generously  offered  to  assist  the  expedition. 
The  party  will  be  taken  from  Freemantle,  the  port 
of  Perth,  to  Broome  150  miles  from  Wollal  the 
observing  station,  on  an  Australian  merchantman, 
and  there  transferred  to  a  smaller  boat  which  will 
take  them  to  their  destination.  On  account  of 
the  shallow  water  surf  boats  will  have  to  be  used 
in  landing.  All  camping  necessities  and  supplies 
will  be  provided  by  the  Commonwealth,  as  well 
as  the  labour  to  assist  in  building  the  concrete 
piers  to  support  the  telescopes. 

The  University  of  Toronto  equipment  consists  of 
a  6-inch  photographic  doublet  of  11-fogt  focal 
length  made  by  the  Brashear  Co.  of  Pittsburgh, 
suitably  mounted  in  a  tube  constructed  by  the

Meeting  of  April  12;  present:  Mr  Angus  Mac- 
Murchy (in  the  Chair),  Mr  Justice  Masten,  Messrs 
Bone,  Gillies,  Megan,  and  Scully. 

It  was  reported  that  the  University  had  handed 
to  the  Federation  $5,000  for  use  in  lending  to  re- 
turned soldier-students  on  the  condition  that  it 
be  returned  intact,  without  interest,  in  six  years  or 
such  less  time  as  the  repayment  of  loans  from  the 
Memorial  Fund  shall  have  been  completed. 

The  Extension  Commission  presented  a  request 
from  the  Victoria  College  Alumni  Association  that 
they  be  given  the  privileges  of  membership  in  the 
Federation  without  subscription  to  THE  MONTHLY 
on  the  remittance  of  50c  per  member.  Opinion  was 
adverse  to  granting  the  request  and  the  matter  was 
referred  back  to  the  Committee  for  further  negotia- 
tion. 

Mr  Harry  Sifton,  who  was  present  on  invitation, 
spoke  regarding  the  practicability  of  interesting 
Greek  letter  societies  in  increasing  the  membership 
of  the  Alumni  Federation.  It  was  decided  that  a 
statement  be  prepared  to  be  enclosed  in  circulars 
going  to  alumni  members  of  fraternities. 

The  Bureau  of  Appointments  Committee  re- 
ported that  some  250  students  had  applied  for  work 
for  the  summer  and  that  150  positions  had  been 
secured.  The  recommendation  of  the  Committee 
that  the  employment  work  be  enlarged  so  as  to 
offer  assistance  to  any  graduate  or  student  applying 
was  adopted,  and  the  Committee  instructed  to  pre- 
pare a  definite  scheme  and  report  at  the  next 
meeting. 

The  Publicity  Committee  reported  that  six 
bulletins  dealing  with  the  work  and  needs  of  the 
University  had  been  prepared  and  were  being  dis- 
tributed to  Members  of  the  Legislature,  prominent 
alumni,  etc. 

A  discussion  took  place  on  the  advisability  of 
holding  a  general  alurrni  reception  on  Thursday 
after nocn,  Commencement  week.  The  matter  was 
left  in  the  hands  of  the  Chairman  and  the  Secretary. 

Financial  statements  presented  showed  a  credit 
balance  in  the  assets  and  liabilities  of  $530.57,  and 


a  credit  balance  of  $51.04  in  the  operating  account 
for  the  month  of  March. 

The  Secretary  reported  that  up  to  March  31, 
$2,794  had  been  received  in  fees,  and  that  $2,453 
would  be  due  before  June  30. 

Mr  Justice  Masten  was  appointed  to  represent 
the  Federation  at  the  Faculty  of  Education  alumni 
dinner. 

It  was  decided  that  the  Secretary  should  attend 
the  Convention  of  Alumni  .Secretaries  to  be  held  at 
Urbana,  111.,  during  the  first  week  of  May. 


The  Hart  House  Play 


The  guest  of  honour  at  a  recent  University  dinner 
complained  in  a  humourous  way  that  he  had  no 
"  message  "  to  give.  That  lack  is  only  too  prevalent. 
It  was  the  failing  that  characterized  the  last  play 
given  at  Hart  House,  "The  God  of  Gods."  It  had 
no  message.  There  was  nothing  vital  about  the 
play,  nothing  to  carry  away,  no  unsolved  problem 
to  worry  about,  no  half-baked  theory  to  digest,  no 
striking  scene,  or  action  in  the  play  to  recur  in  one's 
mind  for  days  and  days,  unless  perhaps  the  haunting 
refrain  of  the  war-drums. 

In  spite  of  that  lack,  this  play  by  Carroll  Aikins 
is  worth  producing  if  only  for  the  purpose  of  en- 
couraging home-grown  talent.  It  is  nominally  a 
Canadian  play  about  North  American  Indians  and 
their  form  of  worship,  although  the  plot  might  just 
as  well  be  laid  in  Honolulu  or  in  South  America. 
It  is  very  artistic  and  smoothly  constructed  and 
the  remarkably  well  executed  scenery  designed  by 
Kenneth  Noxon  was  enhanced  by  the  wonderful 
lighting  effects.  As  a  spectacular  effect  it  surpassed 
any  of  the  plays  at  Hart  House  this  year. 

With  the  minds  of  the  audience  tuned  to  the 
right  key  by  the  wonderful  setting,  the  plot  was 
unfolded.  It  is  the  story  of  the  sway  that  heathen 
worship  exercised  over  the  minds  of  the  untutored 
savage,  and  the  unlimited  power  of  the  unscrupulous 
priestess  and  the  chief  of  the  tribe.  A  young  Indian 
girl  is  forced  to  make  the  choice  between  her  lover 
and  serving  the  god  whom  she  fears,  as  the  priestess 
of  her  tribe.  She  becomes  priestess,  but  her  heart 
longs  for  her  lover,  who  desecrates  the  sanctity  of 
the  inviolable  temple  in  an  effort  to  see  her  again. 
The  tragedy  rises  to  its  height  when  the  warriors 
bring  in  his  body,  shrouded  in  a  white  cloth,  and 
demand  that  it  be  offered  up  as  a  sacrifice  to  the 
god  whom  he  has  defied,  and  the  young  priestess, 
about  to  offer  up  the  sacrifice,  flings  off  the  cloth 
and  lays  bare  the  face  of  her  dead  lover.  Her  only 
hope  is  to  unite  herself  in  death  with  him. 

The  saturnine,  impenetrable  Indian  is  a  hard 
type  to  portray  in  an  emotional  drama  and  the  two 
most  successful  characterizations  were  that  of 
Wilfred  Mavor,  as  Lerii,  the  mad  old  man,  and 
Professor  E.  A.  Dale,  who  was  a  striking  figure  as 
the  dignified  Chief  of  the  Seven  Feathers. 

The  last  play  of  the  season  at  Hart  House  will  be 
"The  Tempest"  during  Convocation  week.

MR  MACMURCHY  ADDRESSES  THE 
MOTHERLAND  BRANCH 

The  Motherland  Branch  of  the  Alumni  Associa- 
tion in  London,  England,  gave  a  luncheon  on  the 
30th  of  March,  at  the  Criterion  Restaurant,  Pica- 
dilly  Circus.  Mr  Angus  MacMurchy,  chairman  of 
of  the  Alumni  Board  of  Directors,  who  has  been 
spending  a  few  months  in  Europe,  was  present  and 
gave  a  short  address  dealing  with  the  work  of  the 
Alumni  Association  during  the  last  few  years. 

Sir  Hamar  Greenwood,  B.A.  '95,  Chief  Secretary 
for  Ireland,  and  president  of  the  Branch,  was  pre- 
vented from  taking  the  Chair  by  critical  negotia- 
tions then  in  progress  between  the  members  of  the 
British  Cabinet  and  representatives  of  Northern 
and  Southern  Ireland. 

Mr  Fred  C.  Wade,  K.C.,  B.A.  '82,  Agent-General 
for  British  Columbia,  presided.  Sir  George  R. 
Parkin,  D.C.L.  '98  (Trin.)  was  prevented  by  indis- 
position from  being  present. 

Among  those  who  attended  were:  W.  C.  Noxon, 
Agent-General  for  Ontario,  and  about  thirty 
alumni,  including  T.  Arnold  Haultain,  B.A.  '79, 
I.  B.  Tyrrell,  B.A.  '80,  W.  H.  Blake,  K.C.,  B.A.  '82, 
F.  A.  C.  Redden,  B.A.  '87,  F.  J.  Karn,  Mus.B.  '88, 
Dr  Donald  J.  Armour,  B.A.  '93,  W.  Perkins  Bull, 
B.A.  '93,  Dr  George  W.  Badgerow,  M.B.  '94,  H.  P. 
Biggar,  B.A.  '94,  and  Miss  Elizabeth  Montizambert, 
author  of  Unnoticed  London. 

Mr  MacMurchy  in  his  address  dealt  chiefly  with 
the  activities  of  the  Alumni  Association  in  raising 
the  War  Memorial  Fund  and  in  making  loans  to 
returned  soldier-students  who  were  experiencing 
difficulty  in  completing  their  courses.  He  explained 
how  the  loan  fund  was  administered,  and  sketched 
the  character  and  circumstances  of  some  of  the  men 
receiving  assistance.  He  also  described  the  visible 
memorial  which  it  was  proposed  to  erect  and  ex- 
plained why  it  had  not  been  built  hitherto. 

The  University's  needs  were  also  dealt  with — • 
how  the  attendance  had  greatly  increased  while 
buildings  and  equipment  had  almost  stood  still  for 
the  past  eight  years.  The  Alumni  Association  was 
doing  everything  in  its  power  to  inform  the  public 
as  to  the  purposes  and  needs  of  the  University. 
University  Extension  lectures  were  doing  much  to 
bring  the  University  in  closer  contact  with  the 
people,  and  to  at  least  some  extent,  the  indifference 
to  the  value  of  higher  education  was  being  over- 
come. Mr  MacMurchy  expressed  the  opinion  that 
once  the  people  of  Ontario  are  convinced  of  the 
value  of  the  University  to  the  Province,  the  neces- 
sary support  will  be  forthcoming. 

The  meeting  lasted  some  hours,  and  was  the 
occasion  of  a  very  pleasant  reunion  of  old  friends. 
There  are  about  200  graduates  and  students  of  the 
University  of  Toronto  and  affiliated  colleges  in  the 
British  Isles,  a  complete  list  of  whom  has  been 
printed.  Mr  H.  P.  Biggar  is  honorary  treasurer, 
and  Mr  F.  A.  C.  Redden  honorary  secretary,  of  the 
Branch.  Their  respective  addresses  are  18  and 
17  Victoria  Street,  S.W.  1,  London,  Eng. 


ANNUAL  DINNER  OF  NEW  YORK  CLUB 

Ex-president  and  now  secretary-treasurer  of  the 
University  of  Toronto  Club  of  New  York,  Mr 
Thomas  H.  Alison,  a  real  "live  wire,"  has  asked 
me  to  send  you  an  account  of  the  annual  banquet 
of  the  Club,  which  was  held  in  the  dining  room  of 


362 


UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO  MONTHLY 


the  Canadian  Club,  second  floor  of  Hotel  Belmont, 
on  Friday,  April  7,  and  was  considered  by  all  to  be 
a  very  successful  affair. 

Dr  Charles  G.  Heyd,  president  of  our  Club,  pre- 
sided, and  showed  us  that  he  was  not  only  a  good 
surgeon  who  did  his  bit  in  France,  but  also  an 
accomplished  presiding  officer. 

The  guest  of  honour  was  Sir  Robert  A.  Falconer, 
whose  speech  surpassed,  if  that  were  possible,  the 
many  eloquent  ones  he  has  made  us.  He  pointed 
out  very  clearly  the  essential  differences  in  the 
courses  and  professors  of  the  American  universities 
as  compared  with  our  own. 

For  instance,  American  universities  credit  the 
students  with  certain  percentages  throughout  the 
term  much  the  same  as  deposits  in  a  bank,  making 
attendance  at  lectures  more  or  less  compulsory,  and 
not  laying  so  much  stress,  proportionately,  on 
examinations.  Whereas  Toronto  does  not  keep  a 
record  of  attendance,  leaving  to  the  judgment  of 
the  students  what  lectures  they  will  attend  and 
what  they  will  not,  and  place  a  great  deal,  if  not 
entire,  reliance  on  the  annual  examination,  knowing 
that  if  the  student  does  not  attend  the  course  he 
cannot  make  a  good  showing  at  the  examinations. 
Especially  as  to  pass  an  examination  successfully  the 
student  must  use  considerable  judgment  to  enable 
him  to  concentrate  on  the  essential  points  of  the 
various  courses  to  be  reviewed  prior  to  the  examina- 
tions. 

Sir  Robert  thought  that  this  system  was  more 
reliable  in  training  the  student's  mind  for  powers 
of  concentration  and  judgment  than  the  system  of 
"punching  the  clock"  (although  Sir  Robert  did  not 
use  that  expression). 

After  some  excellent  music,  President  Heyd 
called  upon  Sir  John  Willison,  president  of  the 
Municipal  Bankers  Corporation,  of  Toronto,  and  a 
director  of  the  Canadian  Bond  Corporation,  of  New 
York,  an  affiliated  financial  organization. 

He  had  been  mentioned  previously  by  Sir  Robert 
Falconer  as  one  of  the  commissioners  appointed  by 
the  Government  to  look  into  the  affairs  of  the 
University  of  Toronto  and  make  recommendations. 

In  reviewing  the  many  changes  brought  about 
during  and  since  the  war,  he  believed  that  he  would 
live  to  see  the  last  Knight,  the  last  Tory,  and  the 
last  narrow-minded  religionist.  He  stated  that 
the  University  could  not  do  better  work  than  to 
encourage  its  young  men  who  come  to  this  country 
and  who  now  reside  here,  to  spread  the  kindly  word 
of  Anglo-Saxon  unity  and  friendship.  He  assured 
those  present  that  even  in  the  trying  days  before 
the  United  States  entered  the  war,  while  the  Can- 
adians could  hardly  understand  the  delay  in 
America  coming  in,  they  always  felt  that  in  her 
own  good  time  the  people  of  the  United  States 
would  play  their  part,  and  they  fully  realized  that 
the  great  nation  adjoining  the  Canadian  border 
had  problems  to  consider  which  they  must  solve 
for  themselves.  He  stated  that  it  was  his  opinion 
that  while  the  great  United  States  might  at  times 
make  mistakes,  they  could  be  depended  upon  at  all 
times  to  put  such  matters  right,  before  much  time 
would  elapse,  as  the  heart  of  the  American  people 
is  sound  and  can  be  always  depended  upon  to  do 
the  right  thing. 

After  some  more  good  music,  Dr  Heyd  showed  a 
large  number  of  very  excellent  lantern  slides,  illus- 
trating his  trip  and  work  on  the  French  Front, 


thereby  letting  us  see  one  more  of  his  accomplish- 
ments, that  of  a  good  lecturer. 

The  hour  was  then  too  late  to  call  on  any  other 
speaker,  in  spite  of  the  fact  that  seated  at  the  guest 
table  were  such  men  as  Sir  Noel  Marshall,  who 
sacrificed  everything  to  run  so  efficiently  the  Can- 
adian Red  Cross  during  the  war;  Mr  Albert  Oliver, 
president  of  the  Canadian  Club  of  New  York;  Mr 
W.  Tyrie  Stevens,  president  of  the  Canadian  Bond 
Corporation  of  New  York;  Dr  C.  Nelson  Raymond, 
president  of  the  New  York  Society  of  Queen's 
University;  and  Dr  Gordon  Gibson,  president  of 
the  New  York  Graduate  Society  of  McGill  Uni- 
versity. 

Among  those  present  were:  Thomas  H.  Alison, 
L.  L.  Brown,  Dr  J.  E.  Bowman,  W.  P.  Barclay, 
R.  A.  Cassidy,  C.  V.  Campbell,  T.  M.  Duncan, 
A.  S.  Glasgow,  Dr  Fred  Graef,  Dr  C.  G.  Heyd,  Dr 
R.  E.  Humphries,  Dr  F.  M.  Johnson,  Dr  W.  A. 
Merkley,  Dr  R.  G.  MacRobert,  Dr  T-  A.  McLeay, 
Hubert  W.  Lofft,  H.  F.  Laflamme,  C.  R.  Keys,  Dr 
C.  J.  Patterson,  Dr  D.  Quick,  Dr  R.  C.  Snyder, 
E.  W.  Stern,  A.  Kennard  Thomson,  T.  Kennard 
Thomson,  Dr  W.  L.  Whittemore,  D.  A.  Walker. 
T.  KENNARD  THOMSON. 


LEW  KLINGNER  DROWNED  IN  INDIA 

Word  has  been  received  of  the  tragic  death  in 
India  of  Lewis  W.  Klingner,  Sc.  '07.  Since  the  war 
Mr  Klingner  has  been  officer  in  charge  of  surveys 
for  the  Irak  Irrigation  Company  in  Mbsopotamia. 
He  had  visited  Badgad  on  business  and  with  a 
party  of  officers  was  proceeding  up  the  Tigris  River 
by  motor  launch  when  an  accident  occurred  which 
swamped  the  launch.  The  Tigris  was  in  hood  at 
the  time  and  in  the  swift  waters  Mr  Klingner  was 
unable  to  reach  the  shore. 

"Lew"  Klingner,  as  he  was  known  to  his  genera- 
tion at  the  University,  was  prominent  as  an  under- 
graduate, and  on  graduation  showed  great  promise 
as  an  engineer.  He  enlisted  early  in  the  war  and 
served  as  lieutenant  and  captain  in  the  Canadian 
Engineers  and  later  as  staff  captain  with  the  4th 
Brigade.  He  was  awarded  the  Military  Cross  for 
bravery. 


ANNUAL  MEETING  OF  MEDICAL 
ALUMNAE 

The  annual  dinner  given  by  the  Medical  Alunnae 
of  the  University  of  Toronto  in  honour  of  Magis- 
trate Patterson  and  the  women  students  graduating 
in  Medicine  was  held  in  the  Academy  of  Medicine 
on  April  4. 

After  the  dinner,  toasts  were  proposed  to 
King",   "Our  Alma  Mater",   "Dr  R.   B.   Nevitt, 
Dean  of  the  former  Medical  College  for  Women", 
to  "The  New  Magistrate,  Dr  Patterson",  and  to 
"The  Graduating  Class". 

The  speakers  of  the  evening  were  Dr  Edna  Guest, 
Dr  Minerva  Reid,  Dr  Lucas  Bennett,  Dr  Stowe- 
Gullen,  Dr  Margaret  Patterson,  Dr  Elizabeth 
Stewart,  and  Miss  McLachy,  president  of  the 
graduating  class. 

The  president  of  the  Alumnae,  Dr  Sproule- 
Manson,  in  her  address  urged  upon  the  members 
the  importance  of  realizing  their  existence  as  an 
active  body  of  women.  She  said  in  part: 


UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO  MONTHLY 


363 


"We  are  proud  of  our  British  Empire,  proud  of 
our  Canada,  proud  of  our  profession ;  let  us  be  proud  of 
ourselves  as  Medical  women.  Not  with  the  arrogant 
pride  of  an  isolated  body  of  women,  but  that  pride 
which  lends  a  spirit  of  co-operation,  or  purposeful- 
ness  of  tolerance,  which  carries  us  along  with  a 
confidence  in  each  other;  which  is  quick  to  praise, 
where  praise  is  due,  to  criticise  if  criticism  is  con- 
structive. 

In  conclusion  one  point  must  be  emphasized:  the 
importance  to  the  women  of  membership  in  the 
Academy  of  Medicine.  Physicians  owe  it  to  them- 
selves, to  the  profession,  and  to  the  public." 

Appreciation  was  expressed  of  the  opportunity 
extended  the  women  to  be  present  at  the  dedication 
of  Osier  Hall  and  the  unveiling  of  the  portrait  of 
the  late  Sir  William  Osier.

ENGINEERING  TORONTO  BRANCH  DINE 

About  forty  Toronto  "School"  men  gathered  for 
a  very  enjoyable  dinner  meeting  in  the  Graduates' 
Dining  Room  of  Hart  House  on  Wednesday,  April 
19,  1922. 

After  an  excellent  dinner  the  meeting  was  called 
to  order  and  the  business  of  the  annual  meeting 
transacted. 

The  report  of  the  Secretary-Treasurer  was  par- 
ticularly encouraging  in  that  it  showed  that  the 
Branch  had  been  able  to  raise  in  the  neighbourhood 
of  SI  ,400  in  the  past  year  to  meet  its  liability  in 
connection  with  the  Applied  Science  Scholarships 
which  the  Branch  had  founded  -during  the  war 
years. 

The  Branch  will  be  able  to  carry  a  small  balance 
over  the  present  year,  but  next  year  will  be  faced 
with  raising  another  $400  or  $500  to  meet  1922-23

U.C.  ALUMNAE  HOLD  ANNUAL  MEETING 

The  annual  meeting  of  the  University  College 
Alumnae  Association,  held  in  Queen's  Hall  on 
Tuesday  evening,  April  18,  took  the  form  of  a  dinner 
at  which  Dr  Thomas  Seccombe,  of  Queen's  Univer- 
sity, was  the  guest  of  honour.  In  a  delightfully 
informal  address,  Dr  Seccombe  discussed  some  of 
his  impressions  of  Canadian  life,  and  spoke  also  of 
his  work  as  associate  editor  of  the  Dictionary  of 
National  Biography. 


The  business  of  the  evening  was  of  unusual  in- 
terest, and  many  matters  of  vital  importance  to 
the  organization  came  up  for  discussion.  The 
various  annual  reports  were  read  and  adopted  and 
several  important  changes  made  in  the  constitution. 
In  presenting  her  report,  the  president,  Mrs  Percy 
'McRae,  summed  up  the  achievements  of  the 
Association  during  the  past  year,  and  expressed  her 
confidence  in  its  future. 

The  liveliest  discussion  of  the  evening  centred 
around  the  report  of  the  Buildings  Committee. 
The  question  of  new  residences  and  a  Union  for  the 
women  of  University  College  has  been  the  chief 
concern  of  the  Alumnae  Association  for  the  past 
few  years,  and  the  strenuous  campaign  which  has 
been  waged  to  raise  funds  for  this  purpose  has  re- 
ceived the  hearty  support  of  graduates,  under- 
graduates, and  their  friends.  The  objective  has 
been  to  provide  new  buildings  according  to  plans 
carefully  drawn  up  to  meet  the  peculiar  needs  of 
University  College,  but  a  new  situation  has  de- 
veloped which  offers  a  more  immediate  solution  of 
the  present  problem  of  overcrowding.  Through 
the  purchase  of  the  property  of  the  late  Senator 
Nicholls  by  the  University  of  Toronto,  the  house 
at  79  St  George  Street  has  been  made  available  as 
a  Union  for  the  women  of  University  College  But 
the  cost  of  this  building,  together  with  the  necessary 
alterations  both  in  it  and  in  the  present  Union 
which  would  be  transformed  into  a  residence  and 
infirmary,  would  amount  to  more  than  the  $100,000, 
which  the  University  can  secure  from  the  Ontario 
Government  for  this  purpose.  Consequently  the 
Alumnae  Association  has  to  decide  whether  or  not 
to  accept  the  offer  of  the  University,  and  to  provide 
the  surplus  amount  necessary  for  this  project, 
either  from  their  present  Building  Fund  or  by 
raising  a  separate  fund  definitely  for  this  purpose. 

The  pros  and  cons  of  this  proposition  were  dis- 
cussed by  the  Association  until  close  to  midnight, 
when  it  was  decided  that  the  question  could  not  be 
voted  upon  until  further  information  had  been 
secured.  As  a  result,  it  will  be  necessary  to  call  a 
special  meeting  in  the  near  future  for  further  con- 
sideration of  the  report  of  the  Buildings  Committee. 

The  election  of  officers  for  the  Alumnae  Associa- 
tion for  1922-1923  resulted  in  the  appointment  of 
the  following  Executive:  President,  Miss  Helen 
Symons;  First  Vice-President,  Mrs  Russell  McCor- 
mick;  Second  Vice-P  resident,  Miss  Henrietta 
Charles;  Third  Vice-President,  Miss  Rose  McQueen; 
Fourth  Vice-President,  Miss  Gertrude  Graydon; 
Treasurer,  Miss  Elizabeth  Gordon;  Recording  Secre- 
tary, Miss  Verona  Taylor;  Corresponding  Secretary, 
Miss  Elizabeth  Cringan;  Assistant  Corresponding 
Secretary,  Miss  Adelaide  McDonald;  Historian, 
Mrs  Melville  Wright;  Chairman  of  the  Buildings 
Committee,  Mrs  Velyien  Henderson.

YOUR  ESTATE  IS  WORTH  WHILE 

HPOO  many  people  make  the  mistake  of  postponing  the 

1      appointment  of  an  executor,  under  a  properly  made 

will,  until  some  future  time  when  the  estate  will  be 

of  "  sufficient  importance."     No  estate  is  too  small  to  be 

properly  safeguarded.     See  your  lawyer  now  about  your 

will — you   can   change  the  will    as   often  as  you   wish. 

Appoint   this   Trust  Company  executor  and  benefit  by 

our  guidance  and  the  experience  of  our  Board  of  Directors 

and  expert  staff.

Accumulative  Bonds 

are  a  medium  of  investment 
especially  attractive  to  those  having 
a  sum  of  money  on  which  they  are 
prepared  to  allow  the  interest  to 
accumulate.  We  issue  these  Bonds 
for  $100,  or  any  multiple  thereof. 
They  bear  interest  at  5J^  per  cent, 
per  annum,  COMPOUNDED  HALF- 
YEARLY,  and  the  following  table 
shows  the  amounts  required  to  pur- 
chase Bonds  for  specified  sums  pay- 
able at  the  end  of  five  years : — 

$76.24  will  purchase  a  Bond 

for ..  $100 

$152.48  will  purchase  a  Bond 

for..... 200 

$381.20  will  purchase  a  Bond 

for.. 500 

$762.40  will  purchase  a  Bond 

for 1,000 

Money  invested  to  return  simple 
interest  at  5^  per  cent,  per  annum, 
payable  half-yearly,  will  double  itself 
in  a  little  over  18  years,  whereas  if 
invested  to  return  the  same  rate 
compounded  half-yearly  it  will  double 
itself  in  less  than  13  years. 

We  particularly  recommend  these 
Bonds  to  those  not  in  need  of  an 
immediate  return  on  their  investment 
or  to  any  one  wishing  to  provide  an 
amount  for  a  specific  purpose  at  some 
future  date. 

Any  further  information  desired 
will  be  gladly  furnished  on  request.

News  and  Comments 


The   Annual    Report   of   the    Board   of 

Directors,  which    is    printed    elsewhere    in 

this  issue,  shows  an  en- 

Report  Shows       couraging   development 

Progress  of     alumni     work     and 

interest. 

One  of  the  most  important  features  of 
the  year's  work  has  been  the  re-organiza- 
tion and  incorporation  of  the  Association. 
Satisfactory  progress  has  also  been  made 
in  what  may  be  called  the  routine  activi- 
ties of  the  Federation — the  Memorial  Loan 
Fund,  THE  UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO 
MONTHLY,  Publicity  for  the  University, 
and  the  Bureau  of  Appointments. 

A  step  forward  has  been  taken  in  the 

organization    of    graduate    work    at    the 

University.     Heretofore 

School  of  this  department  of  the 

Graduate  University's      activities 

Studies  to  be         has     been     under     the 

Organized  control  of  a  committee 

known  as  the  Board  of 

Graduate  Studies. 

The  University  Senate  has  now  formu- 
lated and  the  Board  of  Governors  approved 
a  plan  whereby  a  School  of  Graduate 
Studies  is  to  be  organized.  The  School 
will  be  for  all  practical  purposes,  a  faculty 
having  its  own  dean  and  council.  It  will 
have  charge  of  graduate  work  in  all 
faculties. 

The  Council  of  the  School  will  consist 
of  the  President,  the  Dean  of  the  School, 
and  the  professors  who  are  conducting  or 
directing  graduate  work,  and  such  others 
as  may  be  annually  appointed  by  the 
President.  It  will  have  an  Executive 
Committee  consisting  of  the  President, 
the  Dean,  and  five  members  from  each 
of  the  Faculties  of  Arts,  Medicine,  and 
Engineering,  two  from  the  Faculty  of 
Forestry,  and  two  from  the  College  of 
Education. 

Professor  J.  P.  McMurrich,  who  has 
been  for  some  years  chairman  of  the  Board 
of  Graduate  Studies,  was  chairman  of  the 
committee  which  worked  out  the  scheme 


of  organization  for  the  new  School.  Pro- 
fessor McMurrich  has  devoted  a  great 
deal  of  time  and  energy  to  the  advancement 
of  graduate  work  in  the  University. 

The  School  of  Graduates  Studies  will 
have  at  its  disposal  for  next  year  at  least 
nine  fellowships  of  the  value  of  $500  each ; 
three  of  these  fellowships  have  been  given 
by  the  Canadian  Pacific  Railway,  one 
by  Sir  Edward  Kemp,  one  by  the  Imperial 
Oil  Company,  one  by  Sir  Edmund  Osier, 
one  by  Col.  R.  W.  Leonard,  and  two  are 
Alexander  Mackenzie  fellowships. 

The  organization  of  the  new  School  will, 
it  is  expected,  do  much  to  facilitate 
graduate  work  and  to  co-ordinate  stan- 
dards. There  is  still  one  great  pressing 
need,  namely,  additional  staff.  At  least 
some  professors  should  be  able  to  give 
full  time  to  graduate  work,  whereas  at 
present  those  engaged  in  this  work  are 
required  also  to  do  a  large  amount  of 
undergraduate  teaching.  It  is  poor 
economy  to  have  men  who  are  fully 
equipped  to  teach  advanced  work,  spending 
their  time  and  energy  in  tasks  which  could 
be  done  by  less  qualified  instructors. 

The    Extension     Department    has    an- 
nounced summer  session   courses   in  Arts 
and    in    Pedagogy,    the 
Summer  term    to    open    July    3 

Session  and    to    continue    until 

Courses  August  5. 

In  the  Arts  depart- 
ment the  courses  are  those  leading  to  the 
Bachelor  of  Arts  degree  and  this  year  will 
consist  of:  English,  Mathematics,  Science, 
and  French  in  the  second  year;  English, 
Psychology,  and  Science  in  the  third  year; 
and  English  and  Science  in  the  fourth  year. 
The  courses  are  designed  primarily  for 
teachers  who  have  been  enrolled  in  corre- 
spondence work  during  the  regular  session 
of  the  University. 

The  summer  courses  in  Pedag<%y  lead 
to  the  degrees  of  Doctor  of  Pedagogy  and 
Bachelor  of  Pedagogy.  The  residence 
requirements  for  the  Bachelor's  degree

are  three  summer  sessions  supplemented 
by  intensive  reading,  or  two  regular 
College  sessions;  and  for  the  Doctor's 
degree,  four  summer  sessions  or  three 
College  sessions,  with  one  session  allowed 
for  professional  teacher's  certificate. 

The   Report   of   the   recent   Oxford  and 
Cambridge    Commission    has    some    sig- 
nificant   things    to    say 
University  regarding  university 

Men  in  men    in    business.        It 

Business  claims    that    experience 

has  shown  that  univer- 
sity training  fits  a  man  for  dealing  with 
big  economic  and  business  questions.  The 
following  is  an  extract  from  the  Report: 

"The  students  are  no  longer  as  in  the 
time  of  the  Commissions  of  1852,  mainly 
designed  for  the  Church  and  school- 
mastering,  with  a  minority  going  to  the 
Bar  or  preparing  for  great  inherited  posi- 
tions as  landowners  or  public  men.  To-day 
they  not  only  come  from  the  most  diverse 
social  levels,  but  are  destined  for  all  pro- 
fessions, for  the  public  services,  and  to 
an  increasing  degree  for  business.  On 
account  of  their  general  ability — which 
has  been  a  main  factor  in  selecting  many 
of  them  as  students  at  Oxford  and  Cam- 
bridge, and  on  account  of  the  advantages 
of  the  education  they  have  there  received, 
a  large  number  of  them  afterwards  rise 
to  leading  positions  in  very  various  de- 
partments of  life. 

"An  interesting  development,  mainly  of 
the  20th  century,  is  a  new  belief  of  business 
men  in  the  value  of  university  education, 
particularly  at  Oxford  and  Cambridge. 
The  reverse  of  this  was  the  rule  in  the 
19th  century,  at  the  time  when  Matthew 
Arnold  pronounced  that  we  had  '  the  worst 
educated  middle-class  in  Europe'.  The 
more  appreciative  attitude  of  the  business 
community  towards  the  older  universities 
to-day  is  partly  due  to  the  recent  develop- 
ment of  science  in  their  midst,  partly  to 
the  general  stimulus  given  to  the  move- 
ment for  higher  education  by  the  founda- 
tion of  the  newer  universities  in  great 
industrial  centres,  and  partly  to  the  work 
of  Oxford  and  Cambridge  Appointments 
authorities  in  getting  into  touch  with  the 
outside  public.  But  the  fundamental 
reason  of  the  change  is  the  fact,  now 
tested  by  experience,  that  the  intellectual 
and  moral  qualities  of  the  university- 


trained  man  often  render  him  peculiarly 
capable  of  dealing  with  big  economic  and 
business  problems,  and  with  the  social  and 
human  factors  which  they  involve." 

In  commenting  on  the  statement  of  the 
Commission,  Mr  H.  A.  Roberts,  Secretary 
of  the  Cambridge  Appointments  Board, 
instances  an  Eastern  Company  which  in 
the  last  fourteen  years  has  taken  into  its 
employ  about  one  hundred  Cambridge 
graduates,  some  in  scientific  branches  but 
the  majority  in  administrative.  To-day 
five  hold  general  managerships  over  wide 
areas  (such  as  the  whole  of  India),  one 
holds  a  high  position  in  the  head  office, 
and  one  is  chief  of  the  scientific  staff. 

One  of  the  most  striking  features  of  the 
development  of  higher  education  in  the 

United  States  is  the 
Expansion  of  rapid  growth  of  the 
American  state  universities.  The 

State  Vice    President    of    the 

Universities  University  of  Illinois  in 

conversation  with  the 
writer  a  few  weeks  ago  stated  that  the 
enrolment  in  that  university,  including 
the  summer  session,  would  exceed  11,000, 
that  the  authorities  expected  a  registration 
of  25,000  in  ten  years'  time,  and  that 
ultimately  the  attendance  would  far  exceed 
that  figure.  The  Regents  of  Illinois 
engaged  last  winter  an  expert  from  New 
York  City  to  draw  up  a  buildings  plan 
which  would  provide  for  100,000  students. 
Other  state  universities  are  moving  on 
similar  lines.  No  efforts  are  being  taken 
to  discourage  increased  attendance,  in  fact 
there  seems  to  be  a  competition  in  "big- 
ness". Fortunately  government  appro- 
priations have  kept  pace  with  the  demand 
for  university  education.  Practically  all 
the  state  universities  of  the  Middle 
West  received  in  the  neighbourhood  of 
$10,000,000  for  the  biennium  1920-1922. 

One  naturally  wonders  what  all  these 
university-trained  people  are  going  to  do 
on  graduation.  The  American  answers: 
"The  industrial,  commercial,  professional, 
and  agricultural  activities  of  the  country 
will  absorb  them.  In  twenty-five  years 
university  education  will  be  as  common  as 
high  school  education  is  to-day."  Then 
they  would  require  super-universities  into 
which  university  graduates  would  matricu- 
late.

The  desire  for  more  education  is  as 
marked  in  Canada  as  it  is  in  the  United 
States,  but  our  educationalists  appear  to 
believe  that  the  need  can  best  be  met 
through  the  raising  of  the  standards  in 
both  school  and  university. 

THE  ANNUAL  CONVOCATION  of  the 
Theology  Department  of  Victoria  College 
was  held  on  April  24.  Six  honorary 
Doctor  of  Divinity  degrees  were  conferred, 
twelve  Bachelor  of  Divinity  degrees,  and 
eleven  diplomas  awarded  in  the  regular 
course.  Dean  J.  F.  McLaughlin  in  address- 
ing the  Convocation  announced  that  there 
had  been  in  attendance  during  the  year 
176  students  of  whom  seventy-five  devoted 
whole  time  to  Theology  work.  He  ex- 
pressed gratification  at  the  fact  that  a 
large  percentage  of  students  were  taking 
the  full  Arts  course  before  entering 
Theology. 

The  Rev.  A.  P.  Addison  addressed  the 
graduating  students.  Chancellor  Bowles 
also  spoke.

at  work.  The  work  boat  built  by  the 
students  under  the  supervision  of  Pro- 
fessors Cockburn  and  Loudon  is  being 
used,  and  has  shown  up  exceedingly  well, 
particularly  in  rough  seas.  Coach  Loudon 
has  some  twenty-five  men  in  training. 
Two  crews  will  be  entered  in  the  summer 
regattas  but  in  what  sections  they  will  be 
entered  has  not  been  decided. 


AT    A    LARGELY    ATTENDED    MEETING    of 

the  alumni  and  friends  of  Trinity  College 
on  April  25,  Provost  Seager  announced 
that  the  Corporation  hoped  to  be  able 
to  lay  the  foundation  stone  of  the  new 
building  a  year  hence.  Additional  money 
for  the  new  buildings  is  now  being  raised 
among  the  alumni  of  the  College.  The 
Provost  stated  that  he  intended  to  recom- 
mend that  the  Theology  Department  of 
the  College  be  housed  in  a  separate  build- 
ing in  order  to  counteract  the  impression 
that  Trinity  was  a  Theological  College 
only.

Bachelor  of  Divinity  and  three  for  diplomas 
in  Theology.  Principal  O'Meara  an- 
nounced that  sixty  students  had  been  in 
attendance  during  the  year  and  that  this 
year's  graduating  class,  which  was  the 
smallest  in  the  history  of  the  College,  was 
a  result  of  the  War.  Mr  George  P. 
Nicholson  and  Rev  Dr  Dyson  Hague  ad- 
dressed the  Convocation.

Graduates  and  the  University 

LT.-COL.  THOMAS  GIBSON  DISCUSSES  THE  QUESTION  OF 
ALUMNI  INDIFFERENCE 


To  the  Editor,  UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO 
MONTHLY 


Siri, 


In  the  Press  and  elsewhere  there  has 
recently  been  considerable  discussion  of 
the  affairs  of  the  University.  To  my  mind 
this  is  a  favourable  sign.  A  public  institu- 
tion such  as  the  University  which  derives 
its  sustenance  from  and  renders  its  service 
directly  to  the  Province  cannot  afford  to 
be  out  of  the  public  mind.  Interest,  on 
the  part  of  those  who  tax  themselves  for 
its  support,  is  its  very  life  blood.  Dis- 
cussion—intelligent, sympathetic,  con- 
structive discussion — is  its  lodestar.  To 
stifle  discussion  would  be  fatal.  If  the 
time  were  to  come  when  graduates  and 
other  interested  citizens  were  to  be  denied 
the  right  to  discuss  freely  the  University 
and  its  administration — or  if  their  sug- 
gestions were  to  go  unconsidered — the 
institution  would  begin  to  crumble.  Entire 
alienation  of  sympathy  would  be  the 
inevitable  result. 

It  is  particularly  important  that  the 
men  and  women  who  have  passed  through 
the  University  should  maintain  a  loyal 
interest  in  its  welfare.  This  is  important 
to  the  graduates  because  university  associa- 
tions are,  or  should  be,  among  the  most 
enriching  and  broadening  factors  in  life. 
Most  graduates  will  probably  agree  that 
the  years  spent  in  the  University  are  the 
most  important  of  their  lives,  and  that 
when  they  pass  out,  their  diplomas  are 
the  least  important  thing  they  carry  with 
them.  The  things  which  count  most  are 
the  training  in  independent  thinking,  the 
associations  formed  with  fellow  students, 
and  the  love  and  regard  for  the  place  in 
which  these  pleasant  and  profitable  years 
were  spent.  Graduates  who  for  one 
reason  or  another  drop  their  University 
connections  on  graduation  forfeit  much 
of  the  benefit  of  their  course. 

It  is  even  of  greater  moment  to  the 
University  that  a  spirit  of  loyalty  and 


devotion  should  be  engendered  in  its 
students  and  retained  by  them  after 
graduation.  A  university  is  judged  by 
its  graduates  and,  as  has  been  shown  in 
the  history  of  American  universities,  there 
are  practically  no  limits  to  the  service 
which  a  loyal  body  of  alumni  can  render 
their  Alma  Mater.  In  keeping  a  favourable 
presentation  of  the  institution  before  the 
public,  in  giving  of  their  counsel,  and  in 
providing  benefactions  they  can  be  of 
inestimable  use.  So  far  reaching  is  the 
principle  that  it  is  probably  safe  to  say 
that  no  university  ever  was  or  ever  will 
be  truly  great  which  does  not  possess  the 
loyal  active  support  of  its  graduates. 

Does  the  University  of  Toronto  possess 
the  active  support  of  its  graduates?  I 
think  not.  There  are  it  is  true  a  number 
of  men  who  are  giving  freely  of  their 
energies  in  serving  on  official  bodies  of 
the  University.  There  are  also  many 
rendering  very  important  service  through 
the  Alumni  Associations.  But  the  attitude 
of  the  great  majority  appears  to  be  one 
of  loyal  indifference — if  there  be  such  a 
relation— and  I  do  not  believe  that  the 
fault  lies  entirely  at  the  door  of  the 
graduates.  I  believe  that  the  present 
University  Act  which  denies  the  graduates 
any  real  part  in  the  government  of  the 
University  is  fundamentally  responsible 
for  this  condition. 

The  four  chief  instruments  of  govern- 
ment provided  by  the  University  Act  of 
1906  for  the  administration  of  the  Uni- 
versity, are  as  follows: 

(1)  A  Board  of  Governors  vested  with 
the  real  control  and  management  of  the 
University;    twenty- two  are  appointed  by 
the   Lieutenant  Governor-in-Council,  and 
twoare  ex  officio—\.\\e  Chancellor  elected  by 
the  graduates,  and  the  President  appointed 
by  the  Board. 

(2)  The    Senate    representative    of    the 
federated   Universities   and   Colleges   and 
whose  functions  are  purely  academic.

(3)  Faculty  Councils  which  exercise  cer- 
tain  functions  in  regard  to  the   teaching 
in  the  various  departments. 

(4)  The    President    who    is    the    chief 
executive  officer  of  the  University. 

The  above  scheme  of  Government  was 
devised  with  a  view  to  concentrating  in 
the  Board  of  Governors,  the  real  authority 
necessary  to  administer  the  affairs  of 
the  University  without  any  outside  inter- 
ference, and  due  acknowledgement  should 
be  made  of  the  services  rendered  to  the 
University  by  the  Governors. 

In  many  ways  the  results  have  been 
satisfactory  but  the  plan  has  tended  to 
stifle  rather  than  foster  the  interest  of 
the  graduates.  The  alumni  of  the  Univer- 
sity of  Toronto  are  not  doing  for  their 
Alma  Mater  what  the  alumni  of  other 
universities  are  doing. 

With  a  view  to  remedying  this  situation 
I  venture  to  put  forward  the  suggestion 
that  not  less  than  a  majority  of  the 
Board  of  Governors  should  be  nominated 
and  elected  by  the  graduates. 

On  its  face  this  suggestion  may  seem 
to  be  a  violation  of  the  principle  of  the 
responsibility  of  the  people's  representa- 
tives, but  in  matter  of  fact  it  is  not.  Under 
the  present  system  the  responsibility  for 
University  expenditures  rests  ultimately 
with  the  Minister  of  Education  and  the 
Cabinet.  The  Governors'  Budgets  must 
carry  the  approval  of  the  Government 
before  expenditures  are  entered  upon.  If 
this  were  not  deemed  sufficient,  additional 
checks  on  expenditures  might  be  devised 
and  a  closer  contact  between  the  Minister 
of  Education  and  the  University  estab- 
lished. The  right  to  vote,  ought  perhaps, 
to  be  limited  to  the  graduates  resident  in 
the  Province. 

It  has  been  suggested  that  the  situation 
could  be  met  by  having  the  Board  of 
Governors,  in  part  at  least,  nominated  by 
the  graduates.  I  entirely  disagree  with 
this  suggestion,  for  two  reasons.  In  the 
first  place  to  give  the  right  to  nominate 
without  the  power  of  election,  is  merely 
throwing  a  bone  to  the  graduates.  Power 
to  elect  is  necessary.  And  further  it 


would  inevitably  result  in  friction  and 
would  not  be  workable.  It  is  quite  con- 
conceivable  that  the  personnel  nominated 
by  the  graduates  would  not  be  satisfactory 
to  the  Lieutenant  Governor-in-CounciL 
It  would  simply  mean  therefore,  that 
the  names  put  forward  would  be  used  as 
the  plaything  of  the  Government  from  time 
to  time  in  power,  and  I  am  sure  that  no 
one  would  willingly  allow  his  name  to 
be  submitted  under  such  circumstances. 

The  proposal  for  the  election  of  Gover- 
nors by  graduates  is  by  no  means  a  radical 
one.  It  has  been  adopted  by  many 
universities  and  has  proved  to  be  an 
effective  instrument  in  maintaining  the 
interest  of  the  alumni  in  the  institution 
without  in  any  way  weakening  its  govern- 
ing body. 

Another  reason  for  lack  of  graduate 
interest  lies,  I  believe,  in  the  fact  that 
the  University  has  not  shown  much 
interest  in  its  graduates.  One  hears 
frequently  the  complaint  from  graduates 
that  they  never  receive  anything  from 
the  University  but  requests  from  the 
Alumni  Association  for  subscriptions  of 
various  sorts.  This  is  not  a  praiseworthy 
attitude  and  I  have  no  sympathy  with 
the  man  who  takes  it.  The  very  man  who 
thus  complains  has  probably  received 
from  the  University  a  thousand  fold 
more  than  he  will  ever  return  to  it.  But 
at  the  same  time  it  is  a  short  sighted 
policy  for  any  university  to  ignore  its 
graduates.  A  president's  letter  once  or 
twice  a  year  telling  of  the  Alma  Mater's 
developments,  problems,  and  needs  would 
do  much  to  keep  the  alumni  in  touch  with 
the  institution  and  maintain  their  interest 
in  it.  And  financially  it  would  be  the 
best  sort  of  investment  possible. 

The  problem  of  keeping  the  graduates 
in  touch  with  the  University  and  securing 
their  interest  and  support  is  a  difficult 
one.  As  the  University  grows  and  the 
graduates  increase  in  number  it  will  be- 
come even  more  difficult.  Surely  it  is 
important  that  the  question  be  given 
immediate  and  serious  consideration.

Graduate  Participation  in  University  Affairs 


A  LETTER  FROM  PROFESSOR  W.  J.  ALEXANDER 


To   The   Editor   of   the   UNIVERSITY 

MONTHLY 
Sir, 

Would  you  permit  one  who  has  for  a 
third  of  a  century  been  in  close  touch 
with  the  University  of  Toronto  to  throw 
out  some  suggestions  bearing  on  the 
present  controversy  with  regard  to  Uni- 
versity administration.  One  who  can  look 
back  so  far,  at  least  knows  that  some  of 
the  proposals  put  forward  would  plunge 
us  again  into  evils  from  which  we  long 
suffered,  and  from  which  the  legislation 
of  some  twenty  years  ago  afforded  a 
welcome  escape. 

Experience  shows  that  the  handing  over 
of  appointments  to  committees  or  similar 
bodies  has  most  undesirable  results.  Re- 
sponsibility must  be  fixed;  and  that  result 
can  be  attained  only  by  putting  it  upon 
the.  shoulders  of  one  man, — in  the  case 
of  a  University  that  man  is  naturally  the 
President.  He  knows  that  for  a  bad 
appointment,  he  will  be  blamed;  if  he 
makes  several,  he  will  be  discredited;  if 
many,  his  occupation  will  be  gone.  In 
the  earlier  era,  the  Governor-in-Council, 
in  other  words  the  Minister  of  Education 
had  the  appointment  on  his  hands;  but 
his  fate  was  not  dependent  on  his  success 
in  this  small  department  of  his  activities, 
nor  had  he  necessarily  the  time  or  qualifi- 
cation for  a  wise  decision.  He  usually  had 
the  good  sense  to  accept  the  guidance  of 
academic  authority.  This  was  however 
not  invariably  the  case,  and  then  the 
results  were  anything  but  happy.  Were  it 
permissible  to  do  so  one  might  cite  striking 
instances. 

Any  friend  of  the  University  is  desirous 
that  well-informed  graduate  opinion  should 
be  influential  on  University  policy.  No 
where  can  be  found  such  sympathetic 
criticism,  and  such  intelligent  support. 
But  a  small  proportion  of  the  graduates 
are  deeply  interested,  and  a  much  smaller 
number  are  in  a  position  to  be  well  informed 
as  to  existing  conditions.  The  graduates 
are  very  numerous  and  very  scattered. 


A  body  so  large  and  so  loosely  organized 
can  scarcely  act  as  a  whole.  On  the 
other  hand  a  comparatively  small  number 
of  persons  may  be  able  to  masquerade  as 
general  graduate  opinion.  Constituences 
of  this  character  are  inevitably  exposed  to 
the  possibility  of  being  used  by  interested 
persons.  It  is  perhaps  not  too  much  to  say 
that  graduate  opinion  has  more  often  been 
stirred  to  activity  by  the  personal  griev- 
ances and  ambitions — whether  justifiable 
or  not — than  by  important  consideration 
of  general  policy.  Movements  which 
superficially  seem  concerned  with  prin- 
ciples are  sometimes  ultimately  traceable 
to  individuals  who  are  moved  by  purely 
personal  considerations. 

The  graduates  are  at  present  not  without 
power:  do  they  use  it  in  an  effective 
manner?  If  they  have  good  representa- 
tives on  the  Senate,  is  this  the  result  of 
a  great  interest  in  the  elections,  of  a  pains- 
taking search  for  the  best  candidates,  and 
a  lively  discussion  of  their  views?  Might 
an  unsuitable  person  by  a  little  wire 
pulling  have  secured  a  sufficient  fraction 
of  the  small  number  of  votes  polled?  In 
their  selection  of  a  Chancellor  the  gradu- 
ates have  the  means  of  producing  very 
great  results  in  University  administration. 
The  Chancellor  is  naturally  the  most 
influential  member  of  the  Board  of  Gover- 
nors. If  there  seems  to  be  no  great 
interest  even  in  these  elections,  it  may 
be  said  that  this  is  because  we  have 
always  had  a  good  man  at  hand.  Have 
the  graduates  been  at  pains,  however,  to 
select,  not  merely  a  good  and  distinguished 
man  but  one  who  would  represent  the 
special  view  of  the  graduates,  and  would 
be  energetic  in  making  it  effective? 

xThe  control  of  the  University,  it  is  said 
should  be  democratic.  If  that  means 
anything  it  means  that  the  University 
should  be  controlled  by  the  peop^  of  the 
Province.  If  they  feel  that  this  is  not  the 
case,  the  fault  lies  not  with  the  constitu- 
tion but  with  the  administration  of  it  by 
the  successive  Governments  who — as  far 


385

UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO  MONTHLY 


as  our  political  arrangements  permit — are 
the  voice  of  the  people.  If  the  Board  of 
Governors  tends  to  represent — -as  has 
been  sometimes  alleged — certain  classes, 
or  a  limited  outlook,  the  remedy  lies  in 
the  hands  of  the  people's  accredited 
representatives.  The  system  of  short 
terms  of  service  for  the  Governors  makes 
it  specially  easy  to  remedy  an  ill-judged 
selection,  to  get  rid  of  dead  wood,  to 
introduce  new  and  desirable  elements. 
Let  us  not  throw  away  one  of  the  greatest 
advantages  of  our  University  that  it 
depends  upon  and  is  ultimately  controlled 
by  the  public  opinion  of  the  Country — 
not  by  any  narrower  interest — -by  wealthy 
benefactors,  or  academic  staff,  or  even 
by  graduates.  Public  opinion  may  be, 
and  often  is,  unenlightened;  but  with  all 
its  defects  it  is,  in  our  land,  the  only  sound 
and  permanent  foundation  for  a  great 


public  institution.  The  people  of  Ontario 
have  willed  our  University  and  supported 
it;  they  ought  to  control  it;  and,  judging 
by  the  tendencies  of  our  time,  it  will  be 
more  and  more  true  that  the  people  will 
object  to  giving  the  control  of  higher 
Education  to  any  limited  and  special 
body  of  men  and  women,  even  to  a  body 
as  varied  intelligent  and  respected  as  are 
the  graduates  of  the  University  of  Toronto. 
At  present  very  properly  and  naturally 
about  half  of  the  Board  of  Governors  are 
graduates;  it  is  most  desirable  that  in  the 
selection  of  these  the  general  opinion  of  the 
graduates  should  be  regarded — if  this  can 
be  ascertained.  But  it  is  surely  undesirable 
that  by  an  alteration  of  the  constitution 
anything  should  be  done  to  limit  the  direct 
responsibility  and  interest  of  the  Govern- 
ment in  University  matters. 

W.  J.  ALEXANDER. 


Administrative  Systems  of  Other  Universities 


IN  view  of  the  discussion  which  is  being 
carried  on  in  connection  with  the 
government  of  the  University,  ad- 
ministrative systems  in  force  in  other  state 
universities  of  the  continent  are  interesting. 
In  the  majority  of  American  universities 
supported  by  public  funds  the  governing 
bodies  have  much  larger  powers  than  the 
Board  of  Governors  of  the  University  of 
Toronto.  For  the  most  part  they  are 
commissions  appointed  by  the  Governor 
of  the  state  and  charged  with  full  control 
of  the  university  affairs,  academic  as 
well  as  financial.  In  some  cases,  as  in 
Michigan  and  Illinois,  the  university 
governors  are  elected  by  the  people  in 
the  same  manner  as  members  of  the  state 
legislature.  Academic  affairs  are  usually 
in  immediate  charge  of  the  "University 
Faculty"  which  consists  of  the  President, 
deans,  and  senior  members  of  the  teaching 
staff.  The  Faculties  are  directly  respon- 
sible in  all  things  to  the  governing  boards 
which  outline  their  duties  and  set  their 
powers.  This  system  is  particularly  suited 
to  large  universities.  In  the  West  and 
Middle  West  of  the  Unitecl  States  there 
is  scarcely  a  state  university  whose  annual 
expenditure  does  not  exceed  $5,000,000, 
and  for  such,  a  central  controlling  body 
with  large  powers  has  proved  necessary. 


As  a  typical  example  of  the  American 
system  the  government  of  the  University 
of  Wisconsin  may  be  taken.  Its  chief 
instruments  of  government  are: 

1.  A  Board  of  Regents  of  fifteen  mem- 
bers; thirteen  appointed  by  the  Governor, 
one  from  each  congressional  district  and 
two  at  large;  two  ex-officio — the  President 
of  the   University  and  the  State  Super- 
intendent   of    Education.      Two    of    the 
Board   must   be   women.     The    Board   is 
charged  with  the  complete  conduct  of  the 
University.    It  appoints  the  President  and 
members   of   the   staff   and    legislates   for 
the  academic  conduct  of  the  University. 
The  Board  has  the  power  to  confer  degrees 
and  grant  diplomas  and  to  delegate  certain 
of  its  powers  to  the  Faculty.    Its  meetings 
are  open  to  the  public  and  to  the  press, 
but  it  may  at  its  discretion  hold  executive 
sessions  in  secret,  the  findings  of  which 
become  part  of  the  record  of  the  Board. 

2.  A  President  who  has  authority,  sub- 
ject  to    the    Board   of    Regents,    to   give 
general    direction    to    the    work    of    the 
institution. 

3.  A  University  Faculty  consisting  of  the 
President,  deans,  professors,  and  assistant 
professors.     It  has  no  power  apart  from 
the    Board    of    Regents,    but    under    the 
by-laws  of  the  Regents  it  is  charged  with 


UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO  MONTHLY

the    general    academic    conduct    of    the 
University. 

4.  A    Business   Manager  appointed   by 
the  Regents  to  be  the  executive  head  of 
the  officers  and  employees  of  the  Univer- 
sity not  attached  to  the  instructional  staff. 
He  is  charged  with  the  duty  of  seeing  that 
the  regulations  prescribed  by  the  Board 
of  Regents  for  the  governing  of  the  busi- 
ness affairs  of  the  University  are  faithfully 
observed. 

5.  A  Secretary  to  the  Board  of  Regents 
who  is  responsible  to  the  Business  Manager 
for  the  direction  of  affairs   in   the   offices 
of  the  Bursar  and  the  Accountant.     He 
has  charge  also,  of  the  general  secretarial 
work  of  the  Board. 

6.  A  Bursar  appointed  by  the  Board  of 
Regents   intrusted   with   the   task   of   re- 
ceiving and  keeping  account  of  fees  and 
other  monies. 

7.  An    Accountant    who    prepares    all 
invoices  for  payment  by  the  State  Trea- 
surer.   He  is  the  custodian  of  all  vouchers 
and  accounting  documents.     (State  Trea- 
surer is  treasurer  of  University.) 

8.  A  Purchasing  Agent  responsible  for 
the  purchasing  of  supplies. 

9.  A    Requisition    Clerk    who    keeps    a 
record    of    departmental    allowances    and 
certifies    to    the    Business    Manager    the 
validity  of  all  requisitions. 

10.  A    Superintendent  of  Buildings  and 
Grounds  who  has  charge  of  all  buildings 
and  grounds  and  the  staff  necessary  to 
their  proper  maintenance. 

11.  A  University  Editor  who  has  charge 
of  all  University  printing. 

Saskatchewan  and  Alberta 

The  University  of  Saskatchewan,  a  com- 
paratively small  institution,  is  managed  on 
entirely  different  lines.  There  is  no  direct 
responsibility  of  governing  bodies  to  the 
Government  of  the  Province.  Convoca- 
tion, the  Senate,  and  the  Board  of  Gover- 


nors divide   the   authority.     The  outline 
of  government  is  as  follows: 

1.  Convocation  consisting  of  the   Presi- 
dent and  Chancellor  and  graduates;  meets 
annually;    makes    representations    to    the 
Senate;  elects  Chancellor  and  majority  of 
the  Senate. 

2.  A  Senate  consisting  of  twelve  mem- 
bers elected  by  Convocation  and  four  ex- 
officio  members — the  Chancellor,  the  Min- 
ister of  Education,  the  President,  and  the 
Principal  of  the  Provincial  Normal  School. 
It  prescribes  courses,  conducts  examina- 
tions, and  confers  degrees,  and  has  general 
charge  of  the  academic  work  of  the  Uni- 
versity. 

3.  A  Board  of  Governors  of  nine  mem- 
bers, five  appointed  by  the  Senate,  three 
by    the    Lieutenant    Governor-in-Council, 
and   the   President,    ex-officio;   makes   ap- 
pointments on   the  written   recommenda- 
tion of  the   President  and  conducts  the 
business  affairs  of  the  University. 

4.  A     University    Council   consisting   of 
the  President,  deans,  professors,  and  assis- 
tant professors;  has  immediate  conduct  of 
academic  affairs  but  its  decisions  must  be 
approved  by  the  Senate. 

The  scheme  of  government  of  the 
University  of  Alberta  is  patterned  after 
that  of  the  University  of  Toronto  and 
differs  from  it  only  in  comparatively  minor 
details.  The  Board  of  Governors  consists 
of  the  President  and  Chancellor  and  six 
members  appointed  by  the  Lieutenant 
Governor-in-Council,  and  its  powers  are 
practically  the  same  as  those  of  the 
University  of  Toronto  Board  with  the 
exception  that  it  has  somewhat  wider 
authority  in  academic  matters.  The 
Board  has  an  executive  Committee  com- 
posed of  the  Chairman,  the  President,  and 
one  other  member. 

Both  the  University  of  Saskatchewan 
and  the  University  of  Alberta  receive 
statutory  grants  on  the  basis  of  percentages 
of  receipts  from  succession  duties ;  Alberta 
50%  and  Saskatchewan  33%. 


Board  of  Directors'  Report  for  1921-22 


YOUR  Board  is  pleased  to  report  that 
the  past  year  has  been  one  of  steady 
growth  and  development  in  alumni  activi- 
ties. 

The  scheme  of  re-organization  which 
was  approved  at  the  last  Annual  JMeeting 
has  been  put  into  operation  and  is  already 
justifying  itself  by  increasing  the  interest 
of  the  alumni  and  broadening  the  scope  of 
the  Federation's  work.  The  membership 
has  increased.  Greater  interest  has  been 
shown  in  the  Federation's  official  publi- 
cation, THE  UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO 
MONTHLY.  General  publicity  work  on 
behalf  of  the  University  has  been  consider- 
ably enlarged.  The  work  of  the  Bureau 
of  Appointments  has  been  extended.  The 
Federation  has  again  made  loans  from 
the  War  Memorial  Fund  to  returned 
soldier-students. 

Re-Organization 

By  the  re-organization  which  has  been 
effected,  the  University  of  Toronto  Alumni 
Association  became  incorporated  as  the 
Alumni  Federation  of  the  University  of 
Toronto.  Its  constitution  was  changed 
so  as  to  admit  of  the  affiliation  with  it,  of 
Faculty  and  College  Associations  on  the 
basis  of  a  combined  fee  and  direct  repre- 
sentation of  these  Associations  on  the 
Board  of  Directors  of  the  Federation. 

At  a  meeting  held  on  November  11, 
1921,  the  change  was  formally  ratified  and 
the  whole  assets  and  undertaking  of  the 
Association,  including  the  War  Memorial 
Fund,  transferred  to  and  vested  in  the 
Federation. 

The  re-organization  and  incorporation 
was  primarily  designed  to  promote  and 
develop  organizations  among  the  alumni 
in  each  of  the  affiliated  colleges.  The 
Alumni  Federation  is  in  no  sense  intended 
to  derogate  from  Local  and  Alumni  organi- 
zations which  are  best  adapted  to  foster 
the  sentimental  relations  of  the  alumni 
with  their  respective  colleges.  Its  function 


is  to  co-operate  with  these  Alumni  Associa- 
tions and  to  afford  a  means  of  bringing  to 
bear  the  concentrated  influence  of  the 
whole  University  body  in  all  matters 
affecting  the  University  at  large.  The 
Federation,  being  an  incorporated  body, 
can  now  enter  into  agreements  and  gener- 
ally transact  business  more  satisfactorily 
than  could  voluntary  organizations.  It  is 
expected  that  the  plan  of  having  Faculty 
and  College  Associations  united  in  a  central 
organization  will  prove  advantageous  in 
a  variety  of  ways.  As  an  example  of  how 
the  system  is  working,  the  University  Col- 
lege Alumni  Association  may  be  mentioned. 
This  Association  was  formed  last  October, 
there  being  at  that  time  525  alumni  of 
University  College  on  the  paid  membership 
list  of  the  University  organization.  There 
are  now  864  paying  members,  an  increase 
of  65  per  cent.  The  Association  has  shown 
very  active  concern  in  the  welfare  of  the 
College;  has  carried  on  an  agitation  for 
the  removal  of  the  administration  offices 
of  the  University  from  the  College  build- 
ing; has  taken  steps  to  put  all  class  organ- 
izations on  a  sound  basis;  has  arranged 
class  reunions;  and  at  the  same  time  has 
co-operated  with  the  Federation  in  all  its 
activities.  The  same  may  be  said  of  the 
other  Associations  in  affiliation  with  the 
Federation  which  are  as  follows:  The  Uni- 
versity College  Alumnae  Association,  The 
Victoria  College  Alumnae  Association,  The 
Medical  Alumnae  Association,  The  Engine- 
ering Alumni  Association,  and  The  Univ- 
ersity College  Alumni  Association;  and  in 
partial  affiliation,  Victoria  College  Alumni 
Association.  A  meeting  to  organize  a 
Medical  Alumni  Association  has  been 
called  for  May  31. 

Loans  to  Soldier-Students 

The  lending  of  money  to  returned 
soldier-students  from  the  War  Memorial 
Fund  has  been  continued  throughout 
the  year.  As  previously,  money  was

UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO  MONTHLY

advanced  on  non-interest-bearing  demand 
notes  to  be  exchanged  before  the  recipi- 
ent's graduation  or  departure  from 
the  University,  for  definite  time  notes 
maturing  not  more  than  two  years 
from  date.  More  students  were  as- 
sisted than  in  any  previous  year,  but 
the  total  amount  lent  was  some  $10,000 
less  than  that  advanced  in  1920-1921. 

A  very  encouraging  feature  of  the  Loan 
Fund  work  is  the  desire  on  the  part  of  those 
assisted  to  help  themselves  as  much  as 
possible.  They  display  a  willingness  to 
undertake  any  sort  of  remunerative  work 
during  vacation,  and  many  have  been  able 
to  secure  part-time  employment,  such  as 
giving  private  tuition,  during  the  session. 
As  a  result,  eighty-four  men  who  received 
assistance  in  previous  years  did  not  find  it 
necessary  to  apply  this  year.  The  amounts 
applied  for  have  been  less.  In  1919-1920 
the  average  loan  was  $247,  in  1920-1921, 
$217,  and  during  the  past  year  $169. 

Repayments  by  those  who  have  com- 
pleted their  University  work  have  been 
very  satisfactory,  in  spite  of  the  fact 
that  the  majority  are  in  receipt  of  modest 


salaries  on  entering  business  or  professional 
work.  Up  to  April  30,  $14,208.00  had  been 
repaid  as  follows: 

Total  Advanced    Repaid     Outstanding 

1920  Class          $  9,853.00    $  8,243.00    $  1,610.00 

1921  Class  21,202.00        5,965.00      15,237.00 

$31,035.00    $14,208.00    $16,847.00 

During  the  three-year  period  in  which 
the  Loan  Fund  has  been  in  operation 
$120,416  has  been  advanced  to  424  stu- 
dents. In  addition,  on  your  Board's  re- 
commendations, payment  of  fees  by  those 
who  have  obtained  loans  has  been  post- 
poned until  after  graduation  by  the 
University  and  its  affiliated  Colleges  as 
follows:  University  of  Toronto,  $38,959; 
Royal  College  of  Dental  Surgeons,  $38,689; 
Ontario  Veterinary  College,  $680;  Victoria 
College,  $540;  a  total  of  $78,868.  The 
total  amount  advanced  in  loans  to  soldier- 
students  in  cash  and  postponed  fees  is  con- 
sequently $199,284.  • 

Your  Board  has  received  flattering  re- 
cognition by  the  Board  of  Governors  in 
that,  that  body  has  requested  the  Scholar- 
ship Board  to  lend  for  the  Governors  the

of  $310,626.66  paid  and  $18,037.27  of 
unpaid  subscriptions.  In  addition  to  these 
amounts  there  are  a  number  of  scholar- 
ships subscribed  for  as  part  of  the  Fund 
which  are  being  administered  locally,

UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO  MONTHLY

Special  efforts  were  made  during  the  year 
to  secure  articles  of  immediate  interest  to 
the  general  body  of  alumni,  and  the  many 
letters  of  a  complimentary  nature  which 
were  received  from  members  of  the  Federa- 
tion are  evidence  that  these  efforts  were 
not  unsuccessful. 

A  prominent  place  has  been  given  to 
the  discussion  of  the  University's  prob- 
lems and  an  increasing  number  of  graduates 
have  been  induced  to  contribute  to  such 
discussions.  This  is  a  source  of  satisfac- 
tion as  your  Board  believes  that  THE 
MONTHLY  should  be  a  forum  for  the  dis- 
cussion of  University  questions  as  well  as 
a  journal  of  University  and  alumni  news. 

Three  thousand  copies,  forty-eight  pages 
and  cover,  have  been  printed  each  month 
of  publication.  The  advertising  receipts 
for  the  year  ending  April  30,  1922,  were 
$3,698.84  as  compared  with  $3,888.47  in 
1920-1921,  and  $2832.22  in  1919-1920. 

Your  Board  urges  all  members  of  the 
Federation  to  co-operate  in  making  THE 
MONTHLY  a  success.  This  can  best  be 
done  if  its  readers  actively  contribute  by 
forwarding  their  views  on  University  and 
alumni  matters  and  by  sending  in  personal 
news  of  themselves  and  their  class  mates. 

Membership 

On  April  30,  the  paid  membership  was 
2,419  which,  disregarding  the  member- 
ships which  were  given  on  account  of 
subscriptions  to  the  War  Memorial  Fund, 
is  an  increase  of  579  on  the  figure  of 
June  30,  1921. 

The  membership  is  distributed  as  follows : 

Federation  Direct 885 

University  College  Alumni  Association  864 

Engineering  Alumni  Association 265 

Local  Alumni  Clubs 7 .   210

University  Publicity 

Your  Board  has  been  active  during 
the  year  in  distributing  information  re- 
garding the  work  and  needs  of  the 
University. 

A  large  part  of  THE  MONTHLY  was 
given  over  to  the  discussion  of  University 
questions;  leaflets  dealing  with  the  financial 
situation  were  enclosed  in  the  circulars 
distributed  to  graduates,  and  a  series  of 
six  carefully-prepared  bulletins  was  distri- 
buted to  members  of  the  Legislature  and 
representative  citizens  throughout  the  Pro- 
vince. A  series  of  six  free  public  lectures 
was  also  arranged  with  a  view  to  bringing 
the  University  more  closely  in  touch  with 
the  people  of  Toronto.  The  lectures  were 
given  by  the  President  and  members  of 
the  staff  in  Convocation  Hall  and  the 
Physics  Building.  The  attendance  and 
the  interest  shown  were  in  every  way 
satisfactory  and  many  requests  for  the 
continuance  of  the  series  were  received. 

Your  Board  desires  to  call  the  attention 
of  the  alumni  body  to  the  great  service 
which  they  can  render  the  University  by 
keeping  the  question  of  its  welfare  before 
the  people  of  Ontario  who  do  not  take  as 
active  an  interest  in  their  Provincial  Univer- 
sity as  its  importance  warrants.  This  situa- 
tion the  alumni  can  rectify  if  they  will 
undertake  to  stand  between  the  Alma 
Mater  and  the  general  public  as  inter- 
preters, telling  of  its  work,  outlining  its 
needs,  and  explaining  its  problems.  If 
the  alumni  of  a  university  are  apathetic 
towards  it,  it  cannot  be  expected  that  the 
general  public  will  be  otherwise;  on  the 
other  hand  if  the  alumni  show  enthusiasm 
for  it  and  concern  for  its  welfare,  their 
enthusiasm  and  concern  will  communicate 
themselves  to  the  general  body  of  the 

people.

turned  soldier-students,  in  particular  those 
who  have  received  assistance  from  the 
War  Memorial  Loan  Fund,  in  securing 
employment  during  vacation  and  part- 
time  work  during  the  session.  Some  assist- 
tance  has  also  been  given  to  graduating 
students.  The  results  were  as  follows:

Applicants  referred  to  positions 276 

Positions  secured 143 

PERMANENT    POSITIONS 

Applications  for  work 22 

Positions  secured. 6 

Your  Board  is  of  the  opinion  that  a 
Bureau  of  Appointments,  which  would  be 
prepared  to  offer  assistance  to  any  under- 
graduate or  graduate  applying  for  em- 
ployment, is  urgently  needed. 

Glass  and  Local  Organizations 

Considerable  progress  has  been  made 
during  the  year  in  the  development  of 
class  organizations.  The  plan  of  holding 
class  reunions  on  the  basis  of  a  multiple- 
of-five  anniversary  of  graduation  is  being 
generally  adopted  and  many  very  success- 
ful reunions  have  been  held  during  the 
year.  The  Alumni  Office  supplies  class 
lists  with  addresses  and  gives  all  possible 
assistance  to  the  class  secretaries. 

One  of  the  most  successful  of  alumni 
functions  has  been  the  annual  reunion  of 
Engineering  graduates,  the  latest  of  which 
was  held  in  Novemer,  1921,  and  was 
even  better  attended  than  those  of 
previous  years.  Some  of  the  Local 
Alumni  Clubs  have  shown  much  activity. 
The  Clubs  of  Montreal,  New  York, 
Buffalo,  Niagara  Falls,  Vancouver,  and 
London,  England,  held  enthusiastic 
gatherings,.  Much  more  could  be  accom- 
plished in  many  other  centres  if  officers 
of  the  Federation  would  visit  them 


frequently,  conveying  first-hand  informa- 
tion about  the  University,  and  urging  the 
co-operation  of  all  alumni  in  the  solution 
of  its  problems. 

The  Association's  Finances 

As  the  financial  year  of  the  Association 
now  coincides  with  that  of  the  University, 
which  ends  June  30,  the  statements  ap- 
pended hereto  are  for  the  year  ending 
June  30,  1921. 

The  receipts  from  membership  for  the 
present  fiscal  year,  however,  show  a  sub- 
stantial increase.  During  the  eleven 
months  ending  May  31,  1922,  $3,593.50 
was  received  as  compared  with  $3,332.70 
in  the  twelve  months  ending -June  30, 
1921. 

On  account  of  the  general  business 
conditions  of  the  country,  the  adver- 
tising receipts  for  the  year  will  be  in  the 
neighbourhood  of  $100  less  than  that 
received  the  previous  year. 

The  assistance  received  from  the  Uni- 
versity has  been  placed  on  a  basis  of 
grants  for  specific  services  rendered,  which 
for  the  fiscal  year  1921-1922  are  as  follows: 
$1,500  towards  the  administration  of  the 
War  Memorial  Loan  Fund,  $3,000  for 
publicity,  $500  for  the  maintenance  of 
alumni  records. 

The  collection  of  a  combined  fee  to 
cover  not  only  membership  in  the  Federa- 
tion and  subscription  to  THE  MONTHLY, 
but  also  membership  in  Faculty  and 
College  Associations,  involves  the  retention 
by  the  Association  of  a  percentage  of  the 
fee.  In  cases  where  the  Association's 
clerical  work  is  done  by  the  Alumni 
Office,  $1.00  of  the  $3.00  fee  is  retained 
by  the  Association,  and  where  the  Associa- 
tion performs  its  own  clerical  work,  $1.50 
is  withheld.  Consequently  a  considerable 
increase  in  membership  will  be  required  to 
make  the  Alumni  Federation  financially 
independent  of  the  University. 

Your  Board  is  convinced,  however,  that 


UNIVERSITY  OF  TORONTO  MONTHLY 


393 


the  ultimate  success  of  the  alumni  move-      of  members  paying  a  comparatively  small 
ment  depends  on  securing  a  large  number     annual  fee.

Victoria  College  Plans  Monster  Reunion 


FRMER  students  of  Victoria  College 
are1  preparing  for  the  first  reunion  to 
be  held  on  any  general  scale  since  the 
College  left  Cobourg  and  became  affiliated 
with  the  University  of  Toronto.  The 
three  days,  September  8,  9  and  10  next, 
will  witness  the  gathering  of  many  hun- 
dreds of  men  and  women,  graduates  and 
ex-students,  from  all  parts  of  the  continent. 
Just  how  many  will  attend  depends  on 
the  success  with  which  the  graduate  body 
can  be  apprised  in  the  meantime  of  the 
plans  now  maturing. 

The  reunion  has  been  timed  to  suit  the 
many  westerners  who  would  shortly  be 
returning  to  their  homes.  The  Canadian 
National  Exhibition  is  on  at  the  same 
time  and  this  should  assure  a  large  atten- 
dance from  the  Province.  Besides,  out- 
door functions  will  still  be  possible  and, 
in  fact,  an  old-fashioned  picnic  and  a 
garden  party  are  being  counted  on. 

The  Victoria  College  Alumnae  Associa- 
tion has  joined  with  the  Victoria  College 
Alumni  Association  with  an  enthusiasm 
which  provides  for  a  joint  reunion  of  the 
highest  importance  in  every  respect.  Life 
in  residence  will  be  a  central  feature. 

Registration  commences  on  Thursday 
evening  and  by  Friday  noon  all  should  be 
well  acquainted  again.  That  afternoon 
the  picnic  will  enliven  the  quadrangle. 
At  dinner,  while  the  men  are  electing 
officers  and  discussing  policy  in  Burwash 
Hall,  the  women  will  be  feasting  in 
Annesley. 

Saturday  morning  will  be  free  for  all  to 
take  their  wives  to  the  Exhibition  or  their 
husbands  to  the  shops.  The  garden  party 
that  afternoon  and  a  service  Sunday 
morning  will  conclude  the  set  programme, 
which  is  planned  to  be  as  informal  as 
possible. 

Meanwhile,  there  will  be  numberless 
reunions  of  classes,  groups  and  gangs;  the 
handball  board  will  be  thronged  at  sundry 
hours  for  a  tournament,  and  it  is  hoped 
that  plenty  of  time  will  be  available  for 
taking  in  the  shows  and  sights  and  visiting 
city  friends  without  missing  any  of  the 
reunion  activities. 


While  the  annual  dinner  of  the  Alumni 
Association  is  to  be  the  feature  for  the  men, 
a  number  of  class  reunions  will  be  held. 
The  "Seven"  and  "Two"  classes,  which 
normally  would  have  held  their  reunions 
in  June,  are  postponing  them  this  time  in 
order  not  to  militate  against  the  success 
of  the  general  reunion. 

The  executive  of  the  Victoria  College 
Alumni  Association,  in  setting  the  date  and 
asking  classes  to  co-operate,  realized  that 
the  general  policy  of  the  Alumni  Federation 
of  the  University  called  for  class  reunions 
at  Convocation  time.  This  rule  is  being 
departed  from  with  regret  and  only  on 
the  ground  that  June  was  coming  too 
soon  for  the  newly-reorganized  association 
to  initiate  anything  so  elaborate  as  a 
reunion. 

After  this  extraordinary  occasion  has 
passed,  the  Alumni  and  Alumnae  Associa- 
tions of  Victoria  will  raise  their  voices 
with  the  Federation  in  favour  of  simul- 
taneous gatherings  in  June.  Meanwhile, 
secretaries  of  classes  are  asked  to  notify 
the  reunion's  general  secretary,  W.  J. 
Little,  Victoria  College,  of  their  addresses. 
All  who  can  co-operate  in  any  way  are 
being  asked  to  communicate  with  com- 
mittee chairmen  through  the  general  secre- 
tary. 

Already  the  joint  committees  have  been 
encouraged  in  their  planning  by  messages 
which  indicate  that  a  considerable  number 
from  western  Canada  and  from  American 
universities  are  planning  a  visit  to  their 
Alma  Mater  at  this  time.  Hope  of  meeting 
many  old  friends  combines  with  an  interest 
in  the  new  buildings,  residences,  and 
library,  to  turn  many  eyes  towards  the 
College. 

The  extraordinary  success  attending  the 
meetings  of  the  graduates  during  the  past 
year  has  given  the  executives  and  com- 
mittees every  confidence  that  the  attend- 
ance and  spirit  of  the  reunion  will  more 
than  justify  the  most  complete  pfans  for 
looking  after  the  welfare  of  all  who  can 
come.  R.  P.  S.

University  Settlement  Plans  Summer  Camp 


THE    University    Settlement    is    again 
making  preparations  for  the  opera- 
tion of  a  summer  camp.     The  pro- 
perty on  Lake  Simcoe  near  Jackson's  Point 
which  was  used  last  year  has  been  leased 
for   the   coming   summer,    and   plans   are 
being  made  for  the  opening  of  the  camp 
on  July  1.    A  large  farmhouse  situated  on 
the  shore  of  the  Lake  constitutes  the  camp 
quarters. 

The  Settlement  Summer  Camp  differs 
from  the  ordinary  fresh  air  camp  in  that 
it  specializes  on  mothers  with  small 
children  rather  than  on  older  children. 
Five  groups  in  all  will  be  taken  to  the 
camp  during  the  summer  for  a  twelve 
days'  period  each.  Three  of  these  will  be 
mothers  with  babies;  one,  boys  ranging 
from  ten  to  sixteen  years  of  age;  and  one 
of  girls. 

Last  year  211  individuals  of  eleven 
different  nationalities  enjoyed  a  holiday 
at  the  camp,  and  it  is  expected  that  this 
year  approximately  the  same  number  will 
be  accommodated.  The  camp  will  be 


supervised  for  the  most  part  by  voluntary 
workers — graduates  and  undergraduates  of 
the  University. 

The  camp  is  supported  chiefly  by  private 
donations  from  friends  of  the  Settlement 
and  by  a  grant  from  the  Daily  Star  Fresh 
Air  Fund.  Those  who  visit  the  camp  are 
also  expected  to  pay,  if  they  are  able,  at 
the  rate  of  $10  for  the  twelve  days'  period 
for  a  mother  with  children,  and  $5  for  a 
boy  or  girl.  However,  many  are  not  able 
to  pay,  and  these  are  given  accommodation 


The  University  Settlement  Summer  Camp  Building 


One  of  the  parties  which  visited  the  Settlement  Camp 
last  year 

without  charge.  Last  year  the  campers 
paid  $435.20. 

The  Star  Fund  provides  transportation 
and  food  supplies  so  that  the  chief  financial 
obligation  resting  upon  the  Settlement  is 
for  the  rent  of  the  property  ($600)  and 
domestic  help.  Last  year  the  camp  cost 
$2,214  of  which  $1,209  was  contributed 
by  friends. 

Contributions  should  be  seat  to  the 
treasurer,  Mr  W.  H.  Bonus,  Superin- 
tendent's Office,  University  of  Toronto. 


The  Royal  Canadian  Institute  in  its  Relations 
with  the  University  of  Toronto 

By  D.  R.  KEYS,  VICE-PRESIDENT,  R.C.I. 


FIRST  organized  in  1849  by  a  group  of 
young  engineers  and  architects  as  a 
professional  society,  the  Institute 
widened  its  scope  and  obtained  a  royal 
charter  on  November  4,  1851.  Its  first 
president,  Sir  William  Logan,  the  well- 
known  geologist,  was  assisted  by  a  Council 
of  which  Captain  (afterwards  General) 
Lefroy  was  first  vice-president,  Fred  Cum- 
berland (one  of  the  architects  of  University 
College),  corresponding  secretary,  and 
Sandford  Fleming,  secretary.  Among  the 
Council  were  Professors  Croft  and  Cherri- 
man  of  the  Departments  of  Chemistry  and 
Mathematics  of  University  College,  which 
had  just  been  founded  as  the  teaching  body 
for  the  University  of  Toronto. 

In  the  following  year,  1852,  the  Institute 
began  its  first  literary  publication,  The 
Canadian  Journal.  The  hoped-for  dawn 
of  universal  peace  had  just  been  celebrated 
by  the  first  World  Exhibition  in  the  Crystal 
Palace  in  Hyde  Park,  and  an  illustration 
in  the  first  number  of  the  Journal  shows 
the  Canadian  exhibit,  consisting  mostly  of 
sleighs,  canoes,  and  other  evidences  of  the 
severe  conditions  then  limiting  transpor- 
tation in  this  country.  In  its  variety  of 
interests  this  early  periodical  resembled 
the  Gentleman's  Magazine  of  the  mother 
country,  and  the  time  will  no  doubt  come 
when  historical  researchers  will  find  fruitful 
sources  of  information  in  its  pages.  Among 
the  leading  contributors  were  Doctor  John 
McCaul,  then  president  of  University  Col- 
lege, his  successor  Dr  Daniel  Wilson,  Dr 
Chapman,  the  first  professor  of  Geology, 
and  other  members  of  the  faculty,  whose 
small  classes  left  them  ample  leisure  for 
outside  literary  work.  The  antique  nature 
of  their  ordinary  subjects  is  fittingly  re- 
flected in  the  eighteenth  century  style  of 
their  prose  which  had  none  of  the  staccato 
element  that  is  said  to  appear  in  the  work 
of  the  modern  movie  artist.  These  men 
were  scholars  first  and  became  scientists 
afterwards. 

For  many  years  the  Canadian  Institute 
had  its  home  on  the  south  side  of  Rich- 
mond Street  between  Victoria  and  Church 
Streets.  When  the  writer  was  a  school  boy 


at  Upper  Canada  College  he  used  to 
pass  this  building  on  his  way  to  the 
Mechanics  Institute  Library,  and  would 
often  observe  the  then  professor  of  English, 
Dr  Daniel  Wilson,  hurrying  in  or  out  of  the 
building  with  a  packet  of  papers  under  his 
arm  and  a  terrier  at  his  heels.  Hardly  less 
well-known  than  this  eccentric  figure,  with 
long  locks  flowing  down  over  his  shoulders, 
was  the  muscular  form  of  Professor  Chap- 
man, whose  perfectly  bald  head  was  always 
covered  by  a  velvet  skull-cap  and  who  was 
also  frequently  to  be  met  on  his  way  to 
the  Institute.  During  the  sixties  and 
seventies  of  the  last  century,  the  building 
on  Richmond  Street  served  the  purpose  of 
a  down-town  college  club  for  the  professors 
and  was  maintained  to  a  considerable  ex- 
tent by  their  influence  and  support.  In 
this  capacity  it  took  over  the  Library  of 
the  Athenaeum,  an  older  literary  society 
that  had  flourished  during  the  first  half  of 
the  century.  Many  of  its  books  are  still 
to  be  seen  on  the  shelves  of  the  present 
reading-room  at  198  College  Street,  to 
which  site  the  Institute  was  removed  early 
in  the  present  century. 

Long  before  this  removal,  a  new  genera- 
tion of  scholars  and  scientists,  trained  by 
the  older  men,  had  £egun  to  take  places 
beside  them  as  torch-bearers  on  the  path- 
way of  science.  As  a  type  of  these  we  may 
refer  to  the  late  James  Loudon,  who  suc- 
ceeded Professor  Cherriman  in  the  Chair 
of  Mathematics  and  Physics  in  1875,  and 
was  thus  the  first  graduate  of  the  Univer- 
sity to  secure  such  a  position.  Not  the 
least  of  hi£  subsequent  achievements  was 
the  success  with  which  he  filled  the  presi- 
dency of  the  Canadian  Institute  in  1876- 
1878.  His  inaugural  address  dealt  with 
the  objects  and  advantages  of  such  learned 
societies  and  opened  a  new  era  in  the  his- 
tory of  the  Institute.  Modern  scientific 
research  was  as  yet  in  its  infancy  and 
except  in  Germany  had  nowhere  been 
introduced  into  University  work.  Dr 
Loudon's  paper  showed  how  important  it 
was  that  there  should  be  some  means  of 
communication  whereby  the  unnecessary 
and  wasteful  expenditure  of  time  on  the

working  out  of  the  same  problem  by 
different  scientists  might  be  avoided.  At 
the  same  time  these  learned  societies,  by 
printing  the  papers  of  their  members  and 
exchanging  their  periodical  publications, 
gave  opportunity,  stimulus,  and  inspiration 
to  a  world-wide  circle  of  workers  and  aided 
materially  in  the  extension  of  science. 

From  this  new  departure  a  double  in- 
fluence proceeded  and  the  impulse  given 
to  the  Institute  reacted  on  the  University 
or  rather  on  what  was  still  for  more  than 
a  decade  University  College.  Not  only  in 
Professor  London's  own  department,  but 
in  the  Natural  Science  departments,  there 
was  a  great  development  of  modern 
methods.  Professor  Ramsay  Wright  and 
a  long  succession  of  his  pupils  have  contri- 
buted scores  of  papers  to  the  Proceedings 
and  the  Transactions  of  the  Institute. 
Similarly  the  late  Professor  Ellis  was  active 
in  stimulating  research  and  was  for  some 
years  president  of  the  Canadian  Institute. 
Professor  van  der  Smissen,  who  was  the 
first  to  introduce  the  scientific  method  of 
instruction  in  the  Modern  Language  De- 
partment, also  became  president  of  the 
Institute  and  helped  to  found  the  Philo- 
logical Section,  which  proved  a  stimulus 
to  the  authors  of  the  French  and  German 
textbooks  now  so  widely  known  both  in 
the  United  States  and  in  the  mother 
country.  The  late  A.  F.  Chamberlain 
(B.A.  1886),  for  some  years  librarian,  began 
his  work  in  the  Canadian  Institute,  and 
before  his  too  early  death  had  produced 
several  hundred  articles  in  addition  to  his 
standard  work  on  childhood.  Another 
graduate  to  whose  careful  work  the  Insti- 
tute owed  much  during  the  eighties  was 
the  late  George  E.  Shaw,  also  librarian  for 
several  years. 

In  the  hope  of  stimulating  research  and 
at  the  same  time  training  young  graduates 
who  might  become  professors  in  the  future, 
several  fellowships  were  established  in 
University  College  in  September,  1883. 
Among  the  early  incumbents  were  A.  B. 
Macallum,  E.  C.  Jeffrey,  R.  R.  Bensley, 
A.  F.  Chamberlain,  J.  C.  Robertson, 
Rushton  Fairclough,  and  W.  P.  Mustard, 
all  of  whom  subsequently  made  good  their 
early  promise  and  became  distinguished  in 
various  lines  of  scholarship  and  scientific 
investigation.  The  most  epoch-making 
development  in  this  direction  was  the 
publication  of  the  "catfish  number"  of 


the  Proceedings  with  the  results  of  Pro- 
fessor Wright's  study  of  this  subject,  in- 
cluding a  number  of  papers  by  his  students. 
Among  these  was  an  article  by  James  P. 
McMurrich,  now  chairman  of  the  Board 
of  Graduate  Studies  of  the  University  of 
Toronto,  then  a  professor  in  the  Ontario 
Agricultural  College,  who  contributed 
various  other  papers  to  the  Institute,  and 
who  has  recently  crowned  a  distinguished 
career  by  being  made  president  of  the 
American  Association  for  the  Advancement 
of  Science. 

While    Institute    and    University    were 
thus  mutually  assisting  in  the  advance  of

scientific  knowledge,  the  Provincial  au- 
thorities were  treating  both  institutions 
in  anything  but  a  generous  fashion.  With 
the  growth  of  science  the  necessity  for 
material  support  became  greater  and  a 
period  of  financial  depression  had  set  in 
which  made  the  difficulty  for  a  time  still 
more  unsurmountable.  During  thi*  period 
the  activities  of  the  Institute  were  some- 
what circumscribed;  its  membership  de- 
creased and  its  future,  like  that  of  higher 
education  in  general,  appeared  far  from 
hopeful.  To  mark  the  nadir  of  this  epoch

the  University  building  was  destroyed  by 
fire  in  1890,  leaving  only  four  rooms  avail- 
able for  lectures.  But  the  success  of  the 
Biological  Department,  as  reflected  in  the 
" catfish  number,"  had  led  to  the  erection 
of  a  separate  building,  which  now  served 
to  aid  in  carrying  on  lectures  during  the 
period  of  reconstruction.  A  new  library 
building  arose  as  a  mark  of  the  sympathy 
of  graduates  and  citizens,  and  here  the 
extensive  collection  of  learned  transactions 
and  scientific  publications  belonging  to  the 
Institute  subsequently  found  a  resting- 
place.  Thus  they  became  readily  available 
for  the  use  of  the  scientific  students  who 
have  so  greatly  increased  in  numbers 
through  the  influence  of  the  Confederation 
Act.  This  Library,  which  has  been  brought 
together  by  the  exertions  of  the  successive 
librarians  and  which  is  the  largest  of  the 
kind  in  Canada,  contains  not  only  thou- 
sands of  volumes  of  scientific  papers  by  the 
leading  workers  of  the  last  two  generations, 
but  has  also  hundreds  of  boxes  of  pam- 
phlets representing  the  labours  of  student 
researchers  who  have  been  working  for  the 
degree  of  Doctor  of  Philosophy,  Doctor  of 
Medicine,  or  Doctor  of  Laws.  The  impor- 
tance of  such  a  collection  to  a  university 
which  is  beginning  to  develop  post-gradu- 
ate work  is  self-evident.  The  Canadian 
Institute  acquired  this  unique  library  by 
exchanging  its  own  Proceedings,  largely 
made  up  of  papers  by  members  of  the 
university  faculties,  for  the  similar  period- 
icals of  the  other  great  universities  and 
learned  societies  of  the  world.  The  Pro- 
vincial Government  has  of  late  years  made 
grants  for  the  publication  of  the  Institute's 
Proceedings,  and  for  the  binding  of  its 
exchanges,  of  which  it  receives  about  two 
thousand  annually.  By  mutual  agreement 
the  staff  of  the  University  Library  look 
after  the  circulation  of  these  publications. 

In  addition  to  acting  as  a  clearing-house 
for  the  periodical  literature  of  learned 
bodies,  the  Canadian  Institute  has  also 
co-operated  with  the  University  of  Toronto 
in  inviting  the  two  great  Associations  for 
the  Advancement  of  Science  to  hold  meet- 
ings in  our  city.  The  first  of  these  took 
place  in  1889  when  the  American  Associa- 
tion for  the  Advancement  of  Science  met 
in  the  Convocation  Hall  of  the  old  building 
shortly  before  its  destruction  by  fire.  To 
those  who  remembered  that  meeting,  the 
recent  return  of  the  American  Association 


with  an  attendance  of  nearly  two  thousand 
members,  with  hundreds  of  papers  read  in 
dozens  of  different  sections,  formed  a 
wonderful  object-lesson  on  the  progress  of 
science  during  the  generation  that  has 
elapsed.  In  1897  the  British  Association 
met  in  Toronto  under  the  same  auspices. 
The  mere  presence  of  such  men  as  Evans, 
Kelvin,  Forsyth,  and  Lister  has  had  an 
incalculable  effect  in  stimulating  both 
faculty  and  students  as  well  as  in  rousing 
a  general  interest  among  the  citizens  in 
the  advance  of  scientific  research.  The 
Institute  has  also  shared  in  the  task  of 
entertaining  other  learned  bodies  such  as 
the  British  Medical  Association  in  1906 
and  the  World's  Congress  of  Geologists  in 
1913.  The  volume  on  the  Natural  History 
of  Toronto,  prepared  by  a  committee  of 
the  Institute  for  the  Geological  Congress, 
is  a  text  book  almost  unique  in  its  design 
and  execution,  and  of  great  value  to  local 
students  in  all  the  natural  sciences.  The 
Medical  Handbook  of  Canada  was  not  less 
successful  in  spreading  a  knowledge  of  the 
Dominion  among  an  important  section  of 
the  population  of  the  British  Isles.  The 
earlier  Handbook  of  1897,  edited  by  Pro- 
fessor Mavor,  was  also  a  valuable  work, 
widely  circulated  by  the  members  of  the 
British  Association. 

The  removal  of  the  home  of  the  Institute 
to  a  house  on  College  Street,  resulted  for  a 
time  in  a  decline  in  membership.  The 
building  was  old  and  not  very  well  adapted 
to  the  purposes  of  a  club  of  scientists. 
Under  the  presidency  of  Mr  Arnoldi  there 
was  a  great  increase  in  membership  and 
extensive  alterations  were  made  by  which 
the  premises  were  improved,  the  pamphlets 
cased  in  boxes,  and  the  arrears  of  binding 
made  up.  The  most  notable  of  Mr 
Arnoldi's  services  on  behalf  of  the  Institute 
was  the  securing  of  the  right  to  use  the 
adjective  " Royal"  whereby  it  became 
"The  Royal  Canadian  Institute,"  and  was 
linked  more  closely  to  the  mother  country. 
Shortly  after  this  the  war  broke  out  and 
the  Institute  became  a  centre  of  popular 
resort  by  the  series  of  lectures  on  various 
interesting  subjects  connected  with  the 
conflict.  These  were  so  well  attended  that 
it  became  necessary  to  hold  the  Saturday 
evening  meetings  in  the  Physics  Building, 
which  brought  the  public  into  closer  rela- 
tions with  the  University,  a  consummation 
devoutly  to  be  wished.

The  effect  of  the  war  in  advancing 
scientific  progress  is  one  of  the  common- 
places of  recent  history.  Nowhere  was  it 
more  pronounced  than  in  the  United  States 
and  for  a  time  it  looked  likely  that  the 
same  result  would  follow  in  Canada.  The 
Royal  Canadian  Institute  did  its  part  well 
in  trying  to  secure  the  establishment  of  a 
Bureau  of  Research  to  aid  in  the  industrial 
development  of  our  resources.  But  it 
could  neither  secure  help  for  its  own  Bureau 
of  Industrial  Research  nor  did  it  succeed 
in  persuading  the  late  Government  to 
establish  such  a  Bureau  at  Ottawa.  During 
the  period  of  hostilities  the  Council  of  the 
R.C.I,  was  the  centre  of  a  large  and  active 
committee  formed  by  a  number  of  scientific 
and  technical  experts  who  aided  the 
Government  in  various  matters  connected 
with  the  progress  of  the  war. 

Since  the  war,  under  the  energetic  direc- 
tion of  President  Fields;  the  Institute  has 
done  much  to  promote  the  cause  of  science 
and  to  popularize  the  University's  work  by 
inducing  some  of  the  leading  authorities  in 
the  United  States  to  deliver  lectures  on 
their  special  subjects.  The  late  Governor- 
General,  the  Duke  of  Devonshire,  opened 
one  of  the  sessions  by  a  valuable  paper  on 
research  which  showed  a  better  spirit  than 
was  later  found  to  exist  among  the  mem- 
bers of  his  Council.  Such  men  as  Dr 
Howard,  the  past  president  of  the  A.A.A.S., 
Dr  Merriam,  the  director  of  the  Carnegie 


Institute,  Dr  Humphries  of  the  United 
States  Weather  Bureau,  Dr  Griggs,  the 
discoverer  of  the  "Valley  of  Ten  Thousand 
Smokes,"  and  Dr  Alex.  Nicolson,  the  in 
ventor  of  "Speaking  Crystals,"  are  a  few 
of  the  notable  lecturers  who  have  at- 
tracted large  audiences  to  the  University 
buildings  during  the  present  session  of  the 
R.C.I. 

What  the  Royal  Canadian  Institute  owes 
to  the  University  faculty  it  would  be 
difficult  to  over-estimate.  Unfortunately 
a  comparatively  small  number  of  the  six 
hundred  members  of  that  faculty  are  in- 
cluded among  the  three  hundred  and  fifty 
members  of  the  Institute.  The  fee  of  five 
dollars  a  year  is  a  trifling  tribute  to  the 
great  cause  of  science.  Moreover,  if  the 
humanistic  subjects  were  better  repre- 
sented among  'the  members  we  might  be 
able,  like  some  of  the  Continental  Societies, 
to  issue  a  double  series;  one  consisting  of 
papers  on  pure  science,  the  other  of 
treatises  in  the  realm  of  literature  and 
history.  Here  again  the  University  and 
the  Royal  Canadian  Institute,  by  uniting 
their  forces,  would  be  returning  to  the 
tradition  of  an  earlier  time,  when  men  like 
Sir  William  Logan,  General  Lefroy,  and 
Sandford  Fleming,  worked  side  by  side 
with  Dr  McCaul,  Sir  Daniel  Wilson,  and 
Dr  Scadding.  May  the  dawn  of  that  new 
era  be  not  far  distant!

recitals  given  monthly  in  Convocation  Hall  have 
become  one  of  the  musical  features  of  Toronto.  He 
has  been  deeply  interested  in  the  work  of  the 
Faculty  of  Music  and  is  a  member  of  the  teaching 
staff.  He  has  been  Bursar  of  the  University  since 
1904. 

Doctor  of  Veterinary  Science 

CHARLES  DUNCAN  MCGILVRAY,  PRINCIPAL  OF  THE 
ONTARIO  VETERINARY  COLLEGE. 

Dr  McGilvray  was  born  in  Scotland  and  moved 
to  Canada  with  his  family  in  his  early  youth.  He 
graduated  from  the  Ontario  Veterinary  College 
and  then  proceeded  to  Chicago  for  post  graduate 
work.  He  was  for  fourteen  years  Chief  Veterinary 
Inspector  for  the  Province  of  Manitoba  and  was 
called  from  this  position  to  that  of  Principal  of  the 
Ontario  Veterinary  College  on  the  retirement  of 
the  late  Dr  E.  A.  A.  Grange  in  1918.  Dr  McGilvray 
has  done  much  for  Veterinary  Science  and  is 
particularly  interested  in  research.  %• 


New  Union  for  University  College  Women 


ANEW   Union  for  University  College 
women   is  assured  for  next  session. 
The  work   will    be   carried  forward 
with    all    possible    despatch    so    that    the 
building  may  be  ready  for  opening  if  not 
at  the  beginning  at  least  during  the  fall 
term. 

The  original  difficulty  of  the  needs 
exceeding  the  amount  of  money  available 
has  not,  however,  been,  as  yet,  quite 
overcome.  In  order  that  a  wise  decision 
may  be  arrived  at,  Mresss  Darling  and 
Pearson,  University  architects,  are  making 
drawings  which  will  permit  of  alternatives. 
It  is  possible  that  the  University  College 
Alumnae  Association  may  decide  to  hand 
over  to  the  University  the  money  which 
they  have  raised  for  Women's  Building — 
some  $20,000 — in  order  to  make  the 
Union  more  complete. 


As  it  stands  now  -1100,000  from  the 
Government  is  available  for  the  building. 
The  Nicholl's  property  at  79  St.  Georgfe 
Street  has  been  purchased  for  $35,000, 
leaving  $65,000  for  an  addition  to  the 
building  now  on  the  property.  The 
present  building  will  provide  accommo- 
dation for  committee  and  lounge  rooms 
and  it  is  planned  to  have  in  the  section 
1o  be  built,  a  dining  hall  to  accommodate 
about  200,  a  lecture  room  to  seat  300,  and 
possibly  a  library. 

The  various  committees  interested — the 
Property  Committee  of  the  Governors,  the 
Women's  Residence  Committee  of  Univer- 
sity College,  and  the  Women's  Building 
Committee — are  endeavouring  to  expe- 
dite the  negotiations  so  that  the  work  of 
construction  may  be  begun  at  the  earliest 
possible  time. 


The  academic  procession  will  this  year  be  able  once  more  to  make  its  way  unhindered  across  the  front  lawn, 
rehabilitation  of  the  lawn  made  necessary  by  its  u?e  for  the  training  of  troops 
during  the  War  has  been  very  successful.

Dr  Laing  Addresses  McGill 
Convocation 

DR  GORDON  LAING,  '91,  recently 
appointed  Dean  of  the  Faculty  of 
Arts  of  McGill  University,  delivered 
the  Convovation  address  at  the  Commence- 
ment Exercises  of  that  University  on 
May  12. 

General  John  Pershing,  U.S.A.,  was 
present  to  receive  the  honorary  degree  of 
Doctor  of  Laws. 

Dr  Laing's  address  dealt  with  "The 
University  and  the  Community".  He 
sketched  the  services  rendered  to  the 
community  by  the  modern  university  and 
pointed  out  how  a  greater  understanding 
of  the  universities  on  the  part  of  the 
public  would  result  in  greater  services. 
He  stated  that  to-day  a  university  educa- 
tion was  considered  much  more  "useful" 
than  it  was  a  few  years  ago.  Previously 
universities  were  used  as  preparatory 
schools  for  the  professions,  only  a  few 
graduates  entering  business.  For  the  boy 
entering  business,  a  four  year  university 
course  was  regarded  as  a  waste  of  time. 
"This  belief  in  the  unsuitability  of  the 
university  course  for  the  business  career", 
Dr  Laing  declared,  "reduced  enormously 
the  service  of  the  university  to  the  com- 
munity, for  it  excluded  from  higher 
education  many  of  the  best  minds — kept 
out  of  the  university  the  men  who  by 
reason  of  their  native  ability  would 
profit  most  by  it  and  who,  moreover, 
entering  active  business  life  would  carry 
into  the  very  heart  of  the  community 
whatever  they  had  got  in  college. 

"The  idea  of  the  usefulness  of  the 
college  course  was,  of  course,  as  I  have 
already  indicated,  a  mistaken  one.  From 
the  very  first  the  purpose  of  the  university 
has  been  to  minister  to  the  community, 
and  it  has  always,  within  the  limits 
imposed  upon  it  by  the  very  misconcep- 
tions to  which  I  have  referred,  lived  up 
to  its  obligations.  Like  the  Church — and 
in  respect  to  service  to  the  community 
there  are  many  analogies  between  Church 
and  university — it  has  kept  the  faith,  and 
that  it  is  coming  into  its  own  now  is 
shown  by  the  increasing  vogue  it  has 
attained  not  only  among  those  who  are 
intending  to  enter  the  professions  but 


also  among  those  who  are  going  into  busi- 
ness. When  our  citizens,  our  solid  men  of 
business,  the  leaders  of  the  commercial 
world  are  all  convinced  that  a  university- 
trained  mind  is  as  useful  in  their  field  as 
in  that  of  the  professions,  then  the  relation 
of  the  university  to  the  community  will 
be  properly  adjusted  and  it  will  have  an 
opportunity  of  rendering  fully  to  society 
that  service  of  which  it  is  capable. 


'Tempest"  to  be  given  at 
Hart  House 


"The  Tempest",  the  most  charming  of  Shake- 
speare's "romances",  will  be  produced  at  Hart 
House  Theatre  on  Tuesday,  June  6,  and  will  run 
for  the  remainder  of  the  week,  with  a  matinee  on 
Saturday,  June  10. 

"The  Tempest"  is  dear  to  the  heart  and  im- 
agination of  every  producer,  for  the  interest  of  the 
play  lies  not  in  the  story  itself,  but  in  its  roman- 
tic scene  and  setting  —  a  most  desolate  isle 
where  "sounds  and  sweet  airs"  proceed  none 
knows  whence,  strange  shapes  appear  and  vanish, 
and  "all  wonder  and  amazement  inhabits";  and, 
still  more,  in  the  peculiar  fascination  of  three  of 
the  dramatis  personae — Prospero,  Ariel,  and 
Caliban.  The  presence  of  three  "so  rare  and 
wondered"  characters  gives  to  "The  Tempest" 
unique  originality  and  mystery  of  effect. 

Mr  Frederick  Coates  is  responsible  for  the 
scenery  and  dresses  for  this  production,  which 
promise  to  be  exceedingly  beautiful. 

It  is  interesting  to  note  that  the  first  scene, 
i.e.,  The  Wreck,  will  be  played  in  its  entirety. 
This  scene  is  usually  much  cut  or  altogether  omitted, 
or  else,  as  in  the  case  of  Sir  Herbert  Tree's  pro- 
duction, made  to  serve  as  a  display  for  mechanical 
ingenuity.  The  text  is  little  cut,  and,  with  the 
exception  of  one  interval,  the  scenes 'will  follow 
continuously. 

Almost  as  important  as  the  setting  for  "The 
Tempest"  is  the  music,  and  this  is  being  well 
looked  after,  being  under  the  very  capable  direction 
of  Dr  Willan.  Many  of  the  well  known  airs  of 
Purcell  and  Dr  Arne  are  being  used,  and  whenever 
new  music  has  been  written  by  Dr  Willan,  it  will 
be  found  to  be  in  keeping  with  the  work  of  the  old 
masters. 

A  special  feature  will  be  made  of  the  masque 
and  dances,  and  Miss  Lorna  McLean  and  Miss 
Phyllis  Strathy,  so  well  known  to  Hart  House 
audiences,  will  assist  the  director  in  presenting 
them. 

The  cast  will  be  an  unusually  strong  one  and  will 
include  Basil  Morgan,  A.  Munro  Grier,  E.  A.  Dale, 
Dixon  Wagner,  and  Heasell  Mitchell. 

On  application  to  the  Alumni  Office,  184  College 
Street,  Telephone  College  5032,  arrangements  may 
be  made  for  the  accommodation  of  alumni  theatre 
parties  of  five  or  more  at  the  reduced  rate  of  $1.00 
per  ticket.

VANCOUVER  BRANCH  ENTERTAINS  SIR 
ROBERT 

Over  185  alumni  attended  the  dinner  in  Van- 
couver given  in  honour  of  President  Falconer  on 
Friday,  May  12.  Major  W.  G.  Swan  was  toast- 
master.  Dr  J.  B.  Davidson  proposed  the  toast 
to  other  universities.  The  toast  to  the  Alma  Mater 
was  proposed  by  Bishop  de  Pencier  and  responded 
to  by  Dr  J.  M.  Pearson.  Mr  Alex  Henderson  pro- 
posed "The  Ladies"  and  Mrs  R.  W.  Brock  and 
Miss  M.  L.  Bollert  replied. 

In  speaking  to  the  graduates  Sir  Robert  said 
that  their  loyalty  to  the  University  would  not  come 
to  fruition  unless  they  showed  it  vicariously  to 
the  new  University  of  British  Columbia.  "You 
can  manifest  no  greater  proof  of  the  value  received 
from  your  Alma  Mater  than  by  the  intensity  with 
which  you  use  the  gifts  and  training  you  have 
received  for  the  benefit  of  your  young  institution 
here". 

Sir  Robert  gave  many  announcements  of  interest 
and  general  news  of  the  activities  of  the  University, 
telling  of  its  growth  and  development.

COURSES    OF    INSTRUCTION 


In  the  educational  system  of  Ontario  provision  is  made  in  the  Courses 
of  Study  for  instruction  to  the  child  of  four  years  of  age  in  the  Kinder- 
garten up  to  the  person  of  unstated  age  who  desires  a  Technical  or 
Industrial  Course  as  a  preparation  for  special  fitness  in  a  trade  or  pro- 
fession. 

All  schools  established  under  the  Public  Schools  Act  shall  be  free 
Public  Schools,  and  every  person  between  the  ages  of  five  and  twenty- 
one  years,  except  persons  whose  parents  or  guardians  are  Separate 
School  supporters,  shall  have  the  right  to  attend  some  such  school  in  the 
urban  municipality  or  rural  school  section  in  which  he  resides.  Children 
between  the  ages  of  four  and  seven  years  may  attend  Kindergarten 
schools,  subject  to  the  payment  of  such  fees  as  to  the  Board  may  seem 
expedient.  Children  of  Separate  School  supporters  attend  the  Separate 
Schools.

Acts  are  from  eight  to  sixteen  years  and  provision  is  made  in  the

ing each  may  be  obtained  by  application  to  the  Deputy  Minister  of
