UNIVERSITY OF GUELPH Volume 18, No. 6 February 7, 1974 weir stresses personal growth "It is my hope and expectation that the University of Guelph, with such a rich heritage over the last 100 years, will continue to uphold its tradition of the total development of the individual." Dr. J. R. Weir, Chairman of the Fisheries Research Board, gave this message to 224 graduates at Convocation Friday, advising them that anyone who is able "to weave his scientific knowledge and technology into the fabric of society can claim to have a liberal education, while a person who cannot is unable to claim being even a good technician." Dr. Weir said he hoped the graduates had been made to think as educated people about the creative and social arts of man and par­ ticularly about the value judgments — ideas of right and wrong, of good and evil, of justice, freedom and government. He urged the graduates to accept the responsibilities of the years ahead, to be undaunted by the limitations and uncertainties of the future. "No young Canadian need leave this land for lack of opportunity to take part in intellectual, industrial or scientific activities of compelling interest," he said. Dr. Weir was awarded an honorary D.Sc. degree at convocation when students received bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees. Dr. Weir said he was particularly honored to be associated with Professor George E. Raithby whom he described as "an inspired teacher." Professor Raithby, who taught Dr. Weir 40 years ago, was made the university's first Professor Emeritus.

Sometimes when behind schedule they would keep up this pattern throughout a sixteen-hour day.

Talked to local people The three expeditions were centred on the section near the French River's mouth, where it divides into many channels. The members of the group talked to people who lived in the area and looked at various channels, searching for those the fur traders were most likely to have taken. They looked for spots where the traders brigades may have camped for the night. And especially they looked for rapids and waterfalls, where canoes might have capsized and dumped their goods into the river. At such places they put on their scuba­ diving suits — complete with lining to permit work in cold water — and began to scour the river bottom. I n one place at the base of a falls they were particularly successful. They found the pipe, the tomahawk and an Indian knife handle, all within three feet of each other. But in other places the search was more difficult. Loggers in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries had set off dynamite blasts to clear log jams. These blasts often covered the river bottom with rocks and debris, burying the relics beneath them. "We found all sorts of things from the logging Ed Imhoff, head of the 1711 Underwater trade — pike poles, rudders, anchors, old An eighteenth century silver armband, upper Archaeological Society, checks out a device for bottles and so on," says Mr. Porter.
