Winegard paid his first official visit to the University of Guelph campus and addressed the members of the faculty and their wives at a special meeting in War Memorial Hall. In introducing the new President, Chairman of the Board of Governors, T.A. McEwan, paid tribute to Dr. Winegard's outstanding qualifications for the demanding role he has accepted. "Selecting our newPresident was not the most difficult, but it was the most important decision made in 1966," he said. Dr. Winegard, in his remarks, said, "I can never understand the argument that a professor could do research without teaching, or teach without doing research. I hope to continue doing research, and a little teaching." This campus has an outstanding and proud past. I look to the future, knowing that much hard work has been done in the past. I will continue to aim for the ideal - a sense of purpose and excellence in my chosen field." In conclusion, he told the story of Thomas Jefferson, who when presenting his credentials as Ambassador to France, received the comment, "I see you have come to replace Benjamin Franklin." He replied, "I have come to succeed him - no one can replace him." After the meeting, Dr. and Mrs. MacLachlan introduced the members of the faculty and their wives to Dr. and Mrs. Winegard, and an informal tea was held on the front campus. 2 ARTS BUILDING PREVIEW The $5,300,000. Arts Building on the campus of the University of Guelph is quickly nearing completion, A tour of the building was enjoyed recently by several faculty and staff members of Wellington College, and the editor of the News.Bulletin. Entering by way of the entrance near the Administration building in the northerly Fine Arts wing of the building, visitors are welcomed by a large reception room. This will be furnished with lounge chairs and tables. Double doors lead to the Drama Workshop, a theatre seating 250 with a centre stage. This Theatre in the Round will be complete with a trap door, a drop ceiling for dramatic lighting effects, a side balcony for direction control and black walls for complete stagecraft. In the same wing, the Art Laboratory has natural lighting with western and southern exposure. When nature doesn't co-operate, there are five rows of lighting fixtures, each containing 6 lights to illuminate the drawing boards. Completing this three storey northerly wing is the Music Room, with an ampitheatre accoustically perfect for listening to live or recorded music. The halls of this wing are carpeted in red, and the walls lighted for displaying travelling or student art collections. The four storey centre block has gold carpeting on the floors in the halls, and wall to wall carpeting in the classrooms. These are arranged in two sizes. Along the back of the building are 40-seat classrooms, and in the front of the building, with access off a glass-enclosed walkway, are 90-seat classrooms. Common rooms with chesterfields and chairs for the students to pause visit are on each floor. The tallest wing, nine floors high, will house the offices for faculty and staff. This section is carpeted in charcoal. Seminar rooms are placed on each floor and department heads and their staff will.be housed in the front sections of these wings. On the eighth floor of this southerly wing is the faculty lounge. This contains a large room with'comfortable furnishings, a fire place, wash­ rooms, a snack bar and kitchen facilities. The ninth floor is identical and is provided for the use of the staff. The Arts Building will not only provide an exiting place to teach and learn but will fulfil the needs of adults in Guelph and area who are seeking a continuing education program. It is expected to open this fall. □□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□ DRAMA ON_ CAMPUS The Spring Semester Drama Production, THE QUEEN AND THE REBELS, by Ugo Betti will be presented in Massey Hall June 27 - 29 at 8:30 p.m. Tickets available in the Dept. of English ext. 2142 or 3881.

MacLachlan which was presented to the retiring president follow­ ing a dinner in his honor. Dr. MacLachlan is the third retiring president to be painted by this famed artist. Dr. G.I. Christie was in poor health when he sat for his portrait in 1946, Mr. Macdonald reminisced, and the sittings were an ordeal for both the artist and the subject. Dr. W.R. Reek was painted by Mr. Macdonald when he retired in 1950. Many faculty members of the three Founding Colleges have received land­ scapes by Mr. Macdonald as gifts when they retired. He is also known for his particularly goodGuelph scenes. His series on the old Guelph Public Library, as it was being torn down some three years ago, were instantly sold during a showing at that time. The portrait is life size, unlike the portraits of former O.A.C. pres­ idents hanging in War Memorial Hall. Mr. Macdonald explained that it will be viewed from a lower eye level than the portraits in War Memorial Hall and the figure, for this reason, was painted life size. Dr. MacLachlan's portrait will not join the former O.A.C. presidents in War Memorial Hall but will be placed in a suitable location adjacent to the President's office. nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn 4 FACULTY ACTIVITIES PROFESSOR A.M.
