This is A a familiar story at Sir George, bu_t this year has been utiprecedented in the demands for courses and for admission. One morning saw a line-up extending through the building from Drummond to Stanley Streets three floors deep. I would like to suggest to old-timers that they would experience a real thrill by standing in the College building lobby from 6: 15 to 6:30 any weekday evening. The thousands of students, who used to be accommodated in the various annexes, plus thousands more pour through the door from Drummond Street and make their way to classrooms, laboratories and studios in the new building. Following the pattern of last year, it has been decided to hold another fall convocation. This year it will be on Saturday evening, November 23, in Birks Hall. Last year 72 received Bachelor degrees at the fall convocation and this year the number should be at least as large. My greatest concern ( outside of the budget which is ever present) in these days of greater numbers is to try to maintain what many Georgians will remember a,s the Georgian spirit. Friendliness, good will, co-operation and service, which too often are considered mere platitudinous words, must be built into the lives and characters of people in the part of their lives during which the greatest growth takes place. Furthermore, this does not happen by accident. It happens only when some leaders, whether they be in humble or in high placed positions, devote themselves primarily to this cause. One of our contemporary Canadian universities has as its motto "Ours the task eternal." To me the eternal task is the insistence on character as the primary function of the educational process. One of the pleasures of my life is to greet Georgians of other days especially those who live some distance away. Recently, D'Arcy Quinn, B-.A. (1949), B.Com. (1951), visited the College. He is, apparently, doing very well in another center, which shall be nameless, but is still a loyal Georgian who, like others, rejoiced to see the physical development of the College. My best regards go to all Alumni. I would like to assure them again that they are valuable and important to the life of the College. HENRY F.

BIRKS PHILLIPS SQUARE * DORVAl CIRCLE October 1957 5 THE PRESIDENT'S PAGE REVIEWING THE YEAR ITH THE COMING of the fall season, I would like to review what has W taken place in the Association of Alumni during the last year. First, let us look at the meetings that took place, as it is at these meetings that plans and the foundations for a successful Alumni are formulated. The Executive held sixteen meetings during the period from September 1956 to September 1957. During the same period, the Constitution Committee held four meetings, the Seminar Committee held three, the PostGrad Committee held ten meetings ( including sub­ committees), the Student Loan Fund Committee held five meetings, the Public Relations Committee h eld two, the Financial Committee hid fo ur meetings and the Social Committee held seven meetings. At a glance his may seem like a lot of Committees and meetings but for an Alumni Association which has more than 3000 members we have very few committees. I would like to extend a very warm invitation to all members of the Alumni to join us in the Association either as members of the existing Committees or on new committees which they have an interest in forming, and which would be an asset to the Alumni. I sincerely believe that the Association of Alumni of Sir George Williams College is coming of age, and we need people with new ideas and skills to help it grow. What did these Committees achieve? The Seminar Committee organized four most successful seminars, both in numbers attending and subject matter presented. The PostGrad Committee reviewed the whole matter of printing and advertising in our publication, and many changes are forthcoming. The Student Loan Fund Committee set up a fund to help students over some of the rough spots during their stay at Sir George. The Public R elations Committee reviewed the relationship between Public Relations and Publicity. The Financial Committee made plans for the coming Assessment of members. The Social Committee organized two receptions for the 1957 Graduates of Sir George. They also organized a tour of the New College Building with a reception afterwards at H.M.C.S. Donnacona, but the outstanding event organized by this committee was the Easter .Ball held in the Mount Royal Hotel in honour of Dr. H enry Hall and Dean Robert Rae. During the year plans were made to incorporate the Association of Alumni, and the ·papers are now awaiting approval at Quebec. Let us hope that the next season will be a most successful one for the Association of Alumni of Sir George Williams College Incorporated. H.

The reference is made, of course, to material essential for the magazine, if only to prevent the ads from overlapping. In all seriousness, though, it has been suggested that the Editor solicit personally individual members for articles. Somehow the undersigned feels that this should not be necessary. Graduates - especially of SGWC - have views and opinions on national and international events. It is this type of material, we feel, that the Postgrad requires and that its readers desire. Your cooperation is sincerely requested. One of the features which the Executive plans for this year ('57-8 ) is a Graduates' Directory which will include the names, occupations, addresses, etc. of each and every grad. The directory, something that has long been needed within the Asso­ ciation, will be sent out without charge to everyone. It · is further hoped to make this an annual publication. · Your contributions, criticisms and general · comments regarding the Association may be addressed to the Editor, Sorel Intermediate School, Sorel, Que.
