3 University Hospital. The dramatic debatein the clos- ing hours of the 1961 session of the Legislature, involv- ing our late lamented supporter George Hobbs, Alex. Matthew,Ray Perrault and the Premier, has brought forth a clear and welcome statement in the Speech from the Throne inthe 1962 Session, of the government’s intention to develop a University hospital, for diagnosis, treatment,teaching and research, on thePoint Grey campus. Reactions. Readers’ reactions to my suggestions for further action,outlined on this page in theprevious issue, have been very interesting. The Vancouver Sun ranan editorialentitled “Alumni Eye the Hustings”, concerning the need for more Alumni as candidates for public office. A very thoughtful suggestion hascome from a graduate in Eastern Canada on the subject of trade union contributions to university scholarship and buildingfunds. Another member has suggested that unions be challenged to give block contributions equal in amount to those given to U.B.C. by their employing companies. Further, a company manager has underlined the need forrecognition by management and executives that employees should be able to sit in the provincial Legislature without losing their jobs. The forthrightremarks of theVictoria College Counciland Principal Hickman on trying to provide first class educationwith bargain basement budgets have our hearty endorsement.

It is anopen secret thatto secure top staff he cheerfully hijacked professors bound for other institutions. “Don’t get off the train. Come and see us first” was the wire that brought George F. Curtis to U.B.C. as dean of law. (One of the photos in the president’s album shows him fiercely booting the ball out of the clutch of a rival footballer.) The only satisfaction greater than his pride in his staff, as he prepares to depart from Room107 in the Admin. Building, is Dr. MacKenzie’s delight in “the en- thusiasm and vitality of the students.” Hehas been aware that in the teenage adjustment to university life, to independence, the student is like a dog who is trying to lie down: he keeps followinghis tail ’round till he finally finds the place to subside. The President has inter- fered as little as possible with that delicate, sometimes noisy, process of maturing. Whenever undergrads have committedanother outrage against downtown sensi- bilities, he has struck a committee to study the matter so thoroughly that it somehow evaporates. From Pugwash to Point Grey-the President’s careerto date has been a sensational vindication of Horace Greeley’s advice to the young man. Will he now start east again? If not, it will be for reason other than diminished vitality. Also,since his arrivalat U.B.C., Dr. MacKenzie has been chosen as one of Canada’s 10 best-dressed men, a qualification that would appear to open up new vistas in the world “outside”. Or, could be that this rugged Scotwill find more time for his golf. His tally will be easier to add up than that of his years as president of U.B.C. And we may fairly doubt that hewill ever score better than he has on this last 18.

10 Acadia Camp

that huddle of huts

Memories of UniversitySuburbia OFTENas I walk on the campus near where we used to live, I see the fluttering, gay wash in the clear sun- by Mary Wada light and my mind goes back to the three happy yearswe spentthere. Acadia camp, that huddle of huts hastily conjured up as temporary quarters for faculty and students of this university, was a unique sort of suburban living. It seems to me nowa colorful kaleidoscope of children,gardens, constant tea and coffee breaksand interminable chats. It was in the summer of '56 that we arrived in Van- couver, were married on a glorioussummer day, and moved into one of the huts. I found, much to my wry amusement, that all my high-heeled shoes were of less use to me now and my only pair of sensible flat-heeled shoes quickly wore out. By fall the rains came. Withmy husband away all day at the Univcrsity, I began to take notice of our neigh- bors. About a dozen or more families lived around this Circlestreet. These old wartimehuts converted into married people's quarters were practical and reasonable, -but also tiny and uninsulated.However, the woods behind our huts took me back tomy childhood days and I was once again enjoying nature after years of city life. A family of raccoons that lived in the woods paidnightly calls in winter-time. No garbagecan that could be toppled escaped them. They became almost tame.

‘13 women even though they are not working outside the home? Isn’t the family, as the basic unit of our society, the prime consideration of the educated woman? On the other hand there are many university women of talent and vitality whose appetite for accomplishment is not satisfied by the role of housewife and community worker. Their sense of personal loss is also society’s waste when they happen to be exceptionally gifted. Should they be hideboundby the “woman’s placeis in the home” tradition? Surely not, if they have the talent, energy and flexibility to perform a dual role, as so many of them have. The University of British Columbiahas produced manysuch women. Let’s start out with our recently- elected Chancellor, Dr. Phyllis Ross. To the best of our knowledge she is the first woman in the British Com- Dr. Ross monwealth to hold office as a university chancellor who is alsochairman of theboard of governors, inother words, not just an honorary job. Her brilliant student record as Phyllis Gregory at U.B.C. and later at Bryn Mawr and the London School of Economics was followed by marriage, motherhood and widowhood in the short space of a few years. While her children were still in school she held importantposts in Ottawa from 1934 to 1945 when she married Frank Mackenzie Ross. This was followed by a tour of duty as the highly successful chatelaine of Government House in Victoria while her husband served as Lieutenant-Governor of British Col- umbia. Mrs. Henry Angus (Annie Anderson), after winning a B.A. with first class honours in English language and literature, taught school (she’s still remembered fondly inLadysmith after 40 years as “theprettiest student teacher we ever had”) before her marriage to Professor Angus. Thenafter raising her family she ran for the Vancouver School Board, was elected and served as its capable chairman. In addition she has held many com- Mrs. Angus munity service posts in children’s aid and socialwelfare, was regional adviser for several years for the Canadian Welfare Council, and is currently a board member of the Canadian Mental Health Association. Having published verse and won the first Players’ Club prize for the best one-act play while still an undergraduate, she has also written a history of the Vancouver Children’s Aid Society. She now serves on the U.B.C. Senate and recently ranfor office as chancellor in the first contested , election for that position at U.B.C. since 1916. Mrs.John H. Creighton (Sally Murphy,BA’23), combined marriage and motherhood with several careers including instructor in the English department,writing for radio, book reviewing, TV panelling and as a volunteer at Essondale mental hospital and the Cana- dian Mental Health Association’s White Cross Centre. With a husband and two small sons, Dr. Ursula H.

Pat Carney, who received her B.A. in 1960 as Mrs. Gordon B. Dickson, entered the newspaper field upon graduation and is already achieving acclaim as a business columnist for the Province newspaper.

Mrs.Pierre Berton (Janet Walker, BA’41), wife of the well-known author, columnist, radio and TV personality, was a newspaper re- porter before her marriage, and, despite having six children, manages to doresearch for her husband, act as his home secretary and filer, and be ready at the drop of a hat to take off with him for Tokyo, Berlin or wherever. An unusualjob, in which her social work training comes in handy, is held by Mrs. David Latham (Dor- othy Lindop Brown, BA’39) who runs the Common- wealth Marriage Bureau in Vancouver under the name Mrs. Dickson (Pat Carney) of Mrs. Lin Brown. Her background includes working among B.C. fishermen on a co-operative education programme sponsored by the U.B.C. extension department, working in adult education in Saskatchewan, andwith a UNESCO conferencein Denmark. She followed this with a year in Paris, tripsto Spain and Africa and a year in London where she met her school teacher husband. She is the mother of three children. Some mothers go back to school with their children. Mrs. Edward L. Pierrot (Cicely Hunt, BA’3 1 ) is now at U.B.C. again with her children, taking a bachelor’s degree in social work. The distinction of being the first “granny graduate”, -her grand-daughter graduated lastyear-goes to Mrs. Margaret Brown who received her B.A. degree in 1923 at the age of 41. She was then a widow with fivc children ranging in age from 7 to 13, and teaching school for a living. Twice she had saved money for her own education but had had to spend it on some other neces- sity. She finally managed to get her “dearest wish”, a Mrs. .Berton university education. It was also a “hankering for knowledge” that sent Mr. and Mrs. Michael Kournossoff off to U.B.C. together. She was Gwen Musgrave, BA’28 and went back to college to take an M.A. in history while her husband took his degree. Mrs. Darrell D. Jones, BA’59 (Marion Novak) had originally planned to graduate in 1954 and finally made it-three children later. Now she works half a day as a case-worker for the Catholic Aid Society.Her three children are in school enabling her to work mornings and lookafter her children as well. Shefeels this is her “ideal set-up”.

There’s still an untouched file “that deep” on the various pursuits of marriedU.B.C. women graduates, all the way from cattle ranching to politics. Suffice it to say thattalent and drive will out,despite biological and other complications. There seems to be no valid reason why the family woman should not also make her contribution to society Mrs. Latham (Lin Brown) in business or the professions if she has the wit, strength and organizing ability to “double in brass.” And, as the touchstone of the family, who is to say that her role as wife and mother is not enriched by her participation in and her contribution to the world outside her home.

We learn daily that study, research and new knowledge pay dividends. on But I want to stress another way in which education is very important to the life, happiness and balanced judgment of man in the rush and worry of the modern age. Education gives insight into man’s endeavour, man’s aspirations and background. Itis something which enriches his life and that is always there to call on. Ob- viously thepractical subjects, the sciences, the tech- nology, will continue to change, but our deeper spiritual and ethical values have survived throughout the technical revolutions and are now more needed than ever before.

MOSTVISITORS to the campus don't realize that the colors of the newest buildings are part of a general scheme. They simply deplore the Buchanan Blues or the Medical Muds as such, and see no relationship between them. But the larger plan is there. At the heart of the campus stand a very few granite buildings. Any new buildings in that same central area will duplicate, in grey brick, the color of thegranite, thus ensuring some sort of harmony, eventhough granite itself is out of our price Color range and Academic Gothic is out of fashion. Around the grey hub will turn a color-wheel of buildings, in the three familiar groups of cool colors, warm colors and earth colors. In this way the buildings will share rela- tionships, even though nobody can see all of them at once except from the air. Scheme The mauve of the earlier Buchanan block was chosen before the master plan existed. It was an attempt to re- late the building to the mountains and sea and sky lying north of it. The blue of theBuchanan addition was achange from the mauve, with its samepurpose. These colors are now part of the wheel. Some people find these blues too strong, though the general criticism of the main plan is that the muted colors are too cold, flat, dull, weak, and so on. Many laymen pine for something hot and Mexican, full of tabasco. The colors areon the porcelain panels only. Each building shows a wide expanse of concrete framework and glass. To tie the scheme together, the darker buildings have light grey concrete and the lighter buildings have dark grey concrete. In the process of baking the coloredporcelain there is a chance of variationfrom the original plan. Whether there has in fact been any error so far is a debated point. Thereare some exceptions to the scheme. For example, the Fine Arts building differs in style from the

As soon as the ceremony on the site was over, back across Finnerty Road (to be closed when plans are fully developed) and through the gate of the old army camp, went the participants and spectators to the auditorium. From the stage, His Worship Mayor R. B. Wilson, who is also Chairman of the Uni- versity Development Board, expressed confidence “that upon this site a university will be built that will be significant in the development of this nation.” His Honour Judge J.

Autumn 1918!Probably no class ever entered U.B.C. under more adverse circumstances.In late September as freshmen and freshettesconverged on the Fairview campus the first World War was dragging its weary years to a close, the Daily Province was still printing long casu- alty lists, and communism in Russia was an alarming new fact. In October Dr. Wesbrook, the distinguished first president of the University, passed away. In Nov- ember the 'flu epidemic caused all lectures to be can- celled, the Arts building was taken over as a temporary hospital, and Christmas exams had to be postponed to February. Was there ever such another term? But 19 19 was a wonderful year! In the fall we wel- Information to Students. comed the boys back from overseas. The class of '22 in- heritedmany of these veteranswho resumed their := studies as sophomores. Their great contribution was to FEES infusethe whole campus with vigor, enthusiasmand maturity of thought. Much that we now regard as best at U.B.C. we owe to these men. At the same time new faces began to appear on Fac- ulty Row. These newcomers too were anxious to resume academic careers interrupted by war. Because they were our seniors by only a few years they simulated a serious professorial attitude, which contrasted sharply with that of "Doc" Sedgewick who perennially combined the wit of Punch with the effrontery of Toad. Garnett Sedgewick and the class of '22 had arrived on the campus at the same time. In his address of welcome to us he had advised us to be "intellectually active". We responded with a great ovation and elected him our honorary president, which he remained until graduation and beyond that to our twenty-fifth reunion. There he and his mother, dignified but affectionate grandmother of the class, were with us for the last time. Whatundergraduate attending the University now could say that he knew nearly everyone in his year and most of themembers of faculty?We did. In fact, the old Fairview campus was a "matey" place. With the return of the veterans and sudden increase in enrolment it began to bear a strong resemblance to a Hong Kong resettlementarea.
