A group of angry protesters forced the ca ncellation of a discussion last month at McGill University on a controversial theory which suggests that some memories of child abuse are imagined. The guest lecturer was University of Pennsylvania Professor Em eritus Dr. Ha ro ld Li ef, an advisor to the U.S.-based False Memory Syndrome Foundation, w hich represents people w ho believe they have been wrongly accused of abuse. Its critics have dubbed the founda­ tion "the incest lobby."

McGill University has chosen one of its own to its top administrative post. Bernard Shapiro, a graduate in 1956, becomes McGill's new principal on Sep­ tember 1, succeeding David Johnston. There may be something in the genes; his tw in brother, Harold, an economist, is president of Princeton University.

Canada has the second-highest number of university-educated adults of all 24 cou ntries in the Organization for Economic Co-operation an d Development (O ECD) , according to a report prepared by Statistics Canada. Fifteen per cent of adults aged 25 to 64 had a university degree;·the U.S. had the highest rate, with 23 per cent. However, Canada did lag behind in the number of graduates with science and engineering degrees. Only 17.6 per cent of students gradu­ ated from these programmes, fewer than half of the graduates in Fra nce (39.6 per cent).
