National Research Council Awards Half-Million Grant to Guelph's

UNIVERSITY OF GUELPH

Vol. 14 — No. 22 May 29, 1970 National Research Council awards half-million grant to Guelphs Zoology Department

The University of Guelph has been awarded a $532,000 grant by the National Research Council of Canada to support research in the study of the physiological basis of animal migration. Research will be carried out in the Department of Zoology with Prof. Keith Ronald as project leader. The grant will be made over a five-year period. Subject to the availability of funds, the university will receive $217,000 in 1970 - 71, Subsequent annual payments will be $111,000, $88,000, $72,000 and $44,000 re- spectively. The funds will be made available under NBCs program of Negotiated Major Grants. This type of university assistance was initiated by the Council in 1967 to assist universities to develop new or interdisciplinary research centres, particularly in fields relevant to the scientific, economic and resource development of Canada. The University of Guelphs research program is ex:)ected to shed new light on several aspects of the pheonomenon of migration. The animals selected for investigation include parasitic nematodes, monarch butterfly, lam- a prey, harp seal and birds such as the red-winged Scientists in the Department of Zoology working on the animal migration study are: left to blackbird and starling.

Almost 85 per cent of the students who graduated this week from the Farm Operator and Managers Division of the Diploma in Agricul- ture program plan to farm, says Dr. W. S. Young, the programs Director. Twenty two of the sixty graduates expect to farm immed- iately and the others sometime in the future but hopefully within the next five years. More education is required by farm operators today than ever before and the Farm Operators and the Managers Division of our program is particularly geared to students planning to farm, continues Dr. Young. This year almost half of the 137 students receiving their Diploma in Agriculture specialized in this division. Everett M. Biggs, Deputy Minister of Agriculture, addressed the graduates when they received their diplomas from Dean N. R. Richards. The Diploma program itself, which consists of four semesters of study over a period of two years is designed to give grade twelve graduates an opportunity to develop themselves toward a career in agriculture. The Farm Operators Division is the most popular of the five divisions in which diploma students may choose to specialize. The others are: Agricultural Mechan- ics, Agricultural Business, Fruit and Vegetable Production, Nursery and Landscape Horticul- Six convocation ceremonies are being held this spring to accommodate the record number of ture. graduates.

The Guelph diploma program is one of five similar programs in Ontario financed by the Ontario Department of Agriculture and Food so that tuition is kept to a level of $50 per semester for Commonwealth students.

Citizen analysis of University faculty

The Committee of Presidents of Universities of Ontario has recently completed a survey on the citizenship of faculty members in Ontario Universities by discipline areas. Due to a minor change in data from one university, the citizenship figures reported in the March 13 Memorandum from the Secretar- iat have changed slightly. The percentage by citizenship are now 61.4% Canadian, 15.3% American, 11.6% British, 4.2% from other Commonwealth countries, 1.5% French, and 6.1% from other countries.The total number of full time faculty members reported is 7,950.
