"I hope that many of you have already accepted some responsibility in political organizations," Lucien Lamoureux told the graduating class at fa)l convocation Friday. The former speaker of the House of Commons received an honor- ary Doctor of Laws degree at the ceremonies where 371 degrees and dip)omas were conferred by W.C. Winegard, President and Vice-Chance))or. Dr. Lamoureux said that he sees )itt)e evi- dence "that this generation, a)though anxious for change and eager to inject new ideas, is seeking to destroy the foundation of our society... We see evidence to the contrary in the universities themselves, in this very institu- tion," Mr. Lamoureux said, "where students seek to benefit from what the system has to offer, reaching impressive heights of academic attainment in greater numbers than ever before." Retired entomo)ogist W.E. Heming, former head of the Department of Entomology and Zoology, was made professor emeritus at the convocation. War Memorial Ha)l was packed for the ceremonies, with a few parents sitting on the steps of the balcony, as many more graduands came to pick up their degrees than had been expected by the registrars office.
