THE PRESIDENT'S PAGE

By FRANK STANNARD (Acting President)

Well, here I am once again, filling in for the President. You know, it is said that an open mind is the gateway to knowledge - but I often feel, too, that it is a prerequisite to a satisfied and contented life. It makes for tolerance and sympathy and leads to a fullness and knowledge that can only be achieved by acceptance of all things, even those which are out­ side or sometimes contrary to our usual way or accustomed mode of life. Among the most firmly fixed of our ways of life is that of religion. Some­ how, we are born into religion. It is taught to us while young and impressed upon us while we are yet impressionable. It becomes accepted as a guide and strength upon which we lean. Then suddenly we are sixteen. We "graduate" from high school and move on into the fuller and more varied surroundings of college, There comes a realization that there are many religions - not just one; many gods - not just one. A little knowledge becomes dangerous and disillusionment fo llows. It usually takes years and often more than a college education to put a man or a woman on the right track again. Then, if that man or woman grows up, comes the Open Mind - and with it the realization that there can be more than one god. But only one needs to be important to him. Which is raher a long preamble to introducing my wish to our Jewish friends for a Happy New Year on the occasion of their observance of Rosh Hashanah. It seems to me that the Hebrew calendar shows much greater practicality than the Christian calendar. Because for some reason it has become natural to accept this time of year as the beginning of most forms of human activity in our present rush around world. This is when school starts. And this is when most of the social activity starts - Alumni doings, men's clubs, drama groups. Which all makes sense to the observance of a new year at this time. Obviously, we must accept the inevitable (and the practical) and look forward with all our friends to a

HAPPY NEW YEAR "A landscape whose wide border lies In silent shade 'neath silent skies; A wondrous fo untain yet unsealed; A casket with its gifts concealed - This is the Year that for you waits Beyond to-morrow's mystic gates." -H. N. Powers

TH E PRINCIPAL'S PAGE

As another academic year gets under way, we say good-bye to another of the College's pioneers and builders in the person of Professor C. W. Thop­ son, who retires after twenty-three years' service to the College. He takes with him many souvenirs of alumni, students and faculty, but above all, the good­ will and commendation of all Georgians.

The registration for the academic year has been almost phenominal, crowding many departments and classes to the limit. Many people are in­ clined to say with dismay that the new building is already too small. The answer to this is, of course, that the new building was not designed so much . to increase the College's capacity as to improve its material equipment, and this it certainly has done. Incidentally, its total capacity has been consider­ ably enlarged as well.

It was a pleasure to meet so many friends at the reception given by the Association of Alumni to Professor and Mrs. Thompson. One of my regrets is that I do not have more opportunity to meet alumni.

One of the most important principles of education, in my opinion, is the fact that all the experiences of life can be educative. I have often told gradua­ ting classes that the critical period in their education is that immediately follow­ ing their graduation from College. It is pleasing to note that so many of our Alumni have continued their education. However, this does not necessarily mean graduate or professional study. I feel that it is important to use all of life as a continuous educational process. How this may best be done is a very personal matter, for another important educational principale is that we are all different, and, fundamentally, each must work at the job of directing and fur­ thering his own development.

October 1956 15 IDEAS AND OPIN IONS

Editoria l-I Paradise Regained I think it would be virtually impossible, seated here a t the typewriter, spasmodically rapping keys on to paper bearing the heading "Sir George Williams Post Grad", for me not to imagine myself back in trre Georgian staff room performing a similar task surrounded by such loyal four cluttered walls a nd loyal Third Estaters as Bob Hayes, Johnny Steve Montague, Gunter Brinkschulte, Herb Shannon et al. And so I recall those days - incidents re­ turning with each spasmodic rap - with a deep felt thankfulness for the sheer happiness that accompanied them a nd for the friends who shared them with me.

I am sincerely grateful for the opportunity to serve once a gain in a capa­ city so close to my heart - and fi ngers.

Since my graduation in '53, I have inexcusably neglected the College and things Georgian. Despite an ardent desire, experienced in my Senior year, to contribute my share in the Alumni Associa tion - an overt means of expres­ sing one's gratitude for a ll the invaluable experience gleaned from half a de­ cade spent at this continent's most fraternal of educational institutions - despite this, my efforts have hitherto been nil. True, as a high school teacher I have been instrumental in suggesting to Grade Eleven students that they investigate Sir George before committing themselves to That Other Place; true, I have worn in class a blazer bearing our Crest and said to the devil with the chalk stains. But with it all I knew I wa s a slacker. Then, along came Joe Colucci and Bob Hayes . . . and here I am.

I wish to express my appreciation to Joe who, prior to leaving Montreal, compiled the current issue merely bequeathing to me the enjoyable job of filling this page. I write for us a ll when I send him our thanks for so com­ mendably filling the position of Editor and bid him adieu and Bonne Chance in his forthcoming undertaking.

With an apology for this highly personalized editorial, I lea ve you with the first issue of the '57 - '57 Postgrad- T.J.P.

16 The Postgrad Editorial-II

It has been a long time since a new executive took charge of the Asso­ ciation's affairs. It is to the credit of the outgoing members that their interest in alumni activities persisted in the face of what must have seemed intermi­ nable indifference. Their persistence has now been crowned with relative success. The affairs of the Association are now being better attended. There is talk, and more than talk, of reinstituting alumni seminars; the Association's gift of a special reading aid to augment Mr. Sproule's activities is the result - the first - of the hearty response to the Association's ten dollar assessment.

Along with the popular movie nights so ably organized by Gerry Miller several 'recognition' gatherings were very well attended. And both Gerry and the other members of the outgoing Executive are to be congratulated.

The Postgrad congratulates the newly-elected members of the Executive and wishes them a hearty grapple with the problems which face them. These problems include the dust-relegated constitution, which is being revived by a committe2 selected by the outgoing Executive, and the constant problem of maintaining relations with an ever growing but increasingly anonymous gra­ duating body.

To Gord Mcfarlane, the new President, best wishes and happy presiding !

October 1956 29 "Shell Out For UNICEF" By HAZEL BROWN CHANDLER, (B.A. '44)

Most people know that tuberculosis is "the quiet killer", but did you realize that tuberculosis has marked for early doom one person in every 140 in India alone?

Most people know that malaria is carried by a mosquito, but did you know tha.t approximately 300,000,000 people will be incapacitated by malaria this year?

And, in this world of 900,000,000 children, did you realize that two-thirds of them - 600,000,000 children - will go to bed to-night sick and hungry?

It was the needs of millions of hungry and des.titute children in post-war Europe that resulted in the formation of UNICEF in 1946 - the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund. Eventually, as i.t gradually undertook long-range projects of benefit to children, it became a permanent United Nations ac.tivity. Its name then became the United Nations Children's Fund, but the original symbol of UNICEF was retained. The Canadian UNICEF Committee was subsequently organized to provide Canadians with an opp01'tu­ nity .to participate in the humanitarian work of the United Nations Children's Fund. To-day UNICEF has become the world's largest international agency devoted exclusively to the welfare of children.

UNICEF aid is mainly in the form of supplies not available within the assisted countries; basic medical equipment for rural health centres and train­ ing schools; insecticides, vaccines and an.ti-biotics to initiate campaigns against disease; powdered milk to combat malnutrition, and equipment .to im­ prove local dairy industries. UNICEF'S aid is completely outside the realm of politics; it is given wi.thout regard to race, nationality, creed or political belief. It depends entirely upon volunta·ry contributions from governments and indi­ viduals to expand its aid to more than 94 countries and territories.

"Shell out for UNICEF" is a project, originated in the United States, which extends the benefits of Hall owe' en to boys and girls in less fortunate countries. Everyone in Canada is being invited this year to join in the fun of this new style Hallowe' en' en-with-a-heart. "Shell out for UNICEF" projects can be organized by individual paren.ts, teachers, church groups, civic or service organizations, and the educational value of the project is just as important as the fund-raising aspect. The plan is intended to help not only children, but also young people and adults, to learn more about the United Nations Children's fund, and aid in its work, while enjoying their usual Hall owe' en fun.

Let us endeavour to exceed last year's results so that more children -"all over the world" will share in the joys to be deri'ved from a "Shell out for UNICEF".
