The Drennan Memorial Scholarship is named for Jennie Gillespie Drennan, a graduate in medicine from Queen’s Uni- versity in 1895. Thescholarship was founded by her nephew, Albert Drennan, a 1923 UBC arts graduate. About $11,500 is made available each year from the scholar- ship fund to assist deserving women stu- dents in UBC‘s Faculty of Medicine. Winners of the scholarship this year were Alice Ho, Kirsty McIlwaine, Kathe- rine Perry, Deborah Prior, Deirdre Smith, and Patty Whittle.

ChronicleISummer 1984 11 ThenewChancellor means business By Anne Sharp f Robert Wyman could be describedin the 1975 bestseller I The CanadianEstablishment as “moving up fast,though not yet a certifiedmember of the Establish- ment,”then now,almost a decade later, he has surely made it. The still youthful 53-year-old Commerce grad will become UBC‘s 12th Chancellor in June, succeeding The Honourable J.V. Clyne. Wyman will bring with him a note- worthybackground in the securities andinvestment field, wherehe has gainedprominence as chairman of one of westernCanada’s most respectedsecurities houses, Pember- ton, Houston and Willoughby.And as currentchairman of theCanadian Chamber of Commerce,his contacts go deep intothe business establish- ment. As universities become more embroiled in the current funding cri- sis, Wyman’s experience may be just thething UBC needs. With govern- ments concerned about reducing their deficits, Wyman sees the role of uni- versityfunding shifting towards the private sector, where he senses a will- ingness to shoulder more responsibil- ity for the higher education system. “Thecorporate sector”, says Wyman, ”will have to change its atti- tude as far as investing in post sec- ondary education - and I think it’s willing to change its attitude. Instead of investingin bricks and mortar, they’re going to have to start investing in people.” Wyman speakswith the calm authority of someone who knows his requirements of his association work Wyman says when he first started in way around in the business commu- and business schedule? “I start early,” investmentsalmost 30 yearsago, nity.

He sees the universities as having a role in solving that problem. One of the things he would like to see is the formation of a governmental task force to explore alternatives on dealingwith youth unemployment, which he thinks is “the biggest prob- lem facing this country.” He suggests that the task force should be made up

Alumni Media is pleased to present9 reproductions of works by the lata Benjamin Chee Chee. These are theonly reproductions authorizedby the artist’s estate.

A mainly self-taught artist, Chee Chee wasa prominent member of the second generation of woodland Indian painters. Unlike many of his contemporaries who employed direct and “primitive” means, Chee Chee’swork was influenced by modern abstraction. His style reduced line and image in keepingwith international modern art. At the age of 32, at the height of his success, Chee Chee died tragicallyby suicide. These reproductions are printed on high quality,textured stock and measure 48 cm x 61 cm (19”x24”).
