Navigator for choppy waters Dr. Matthews installed as President

Forty years ago last September, Burton Clare Matthews registered as a freshman at the University of Guelph. At winter Convo- cation last Friday he was presented by Board of Governors chairman, Cecil Franklin, as Guelph's fourth President and Vice- Chancellor.

Between those years, Dr. Matthews was student football captain, Department head and Vice-President, Academic, at Guelph. He went on to become President of the Uni- versity of Waterloo and the Chairman of the Ontario Council on University Affairs.

"If he is not ready now to chart a wise and smooth course for Guelph through the choppy waters of university affairs, then no one is," said Dr. Alvin Lee, President and Vice-Chancellor of McMaster University who spoke for all Ontario universities at the installation ceremony. President Burt Matthews is congratulated by Chancellor William Stewart. In his address to the graduates Dr. Matthews said he believes universities are still essential to the progress of our modern society. In these times of constrained funding, universities must collectively state their case to ensure their appropriate share of resources, he said.

However, simply stating the case is not enough, he continued. Each university must demonstrate its case through deeds by review- ing its academic programs, by committing itself to excellence, by reaching out to those unable to attend courses on campus, by enhancing and expanding co-operation and creative partnerships with other universities, government ministries, business and industry in teaching, research and technology transfer, by asserting and establishing its special character and capitalizing on its special strengths, and by daring to be different. One of the strengths of the Ontario university system is the diversity of its members, which needs to be encouraged,- he said.

University scientists and scholars must be free to "call them as they see them," said Guelph's honorary degree recipient, The Honourable Thomas Berger, in a Convocation speech last Friday afternoon. He called for preserva- tion of the independence of universities and the right of the people who teach and learn within them to speak freely. "To preserve the spirit of free inquiry at universities, to maintain the right of academics to hold and defend unfashionable ideas, we must preserve the independence of universities and the atmosphere at universities that allows free inquiry and free speech," said the honorary Doctor of Laws recipient.

While hoping that, in the end, the President may make some difference, even though his is largely a persuasion post, I am fully aware that the people who really do make a difference, who make things happen, are the faculty, staff and students.
