  • Canadian Rail No175 1966
    C:an.a march ) ffi.miill 1966 No. 175 the cover T HIS YEAR marks the half-century birthday for Canadian Nat­ ional's valiant and sturdy little Z-l-a class electric loco­ motives. Thei.r entire careers have been spent shuttling back and fOrth through Montreal's Mount Royal Tunnel (at 3.3 miles, second longest in Canada) at the head end of bustling and loaded commuter trains whose vintage passenger cars outwardly belie marks of ancestral private companies. The locomotives and their trains are fighting a losing battle; inevitably, as rush hour follows rush hour, the numbers of those who clamour for the use of this transit umbilical cord increase. Informed observers real­ ize that consists can not be effectively enlarged nor head ways shortened. CN has pointed this out to its patrons, who in turn have tried to spur their politicians on to back a transit plan which would see conventional rapid transit electric trains replace Canada's only main-line electrification. Inevitably too, the polit­ icians have dallied, but will not postpone action much longer for at least one good. simple reason: many of these same function­ aries are among the passengers who, more frequently as time goes on, get left behind on a suburban platform because the "8 :12" just won't take any more passengers. Some day, inexorably, the end will come. Meanwhile, savour the atmosphere of Montreal's wintry, evening suburbia. just cold enough so that the snow squeaks underfoot, captured admirably on film by our own Jimmy Sandilands, as No. 103 pauses at Mount Royal Station to disembark commuters.

The importance of the railroad system of Maine, as a means of developing the resources of the State, is becoming more apparent every year. By reason of the facilities it affords, mineral wealth is being uncovered, manufacturers are utiliz­ ing the abundant water powers, and our products are afforded ready markets; and, although in ·obtaining these facilities in some localities, heavy burdens have been assumed by cities and towns, still we think the benefit derived will fully com­ pensate them in the end. We do not, however, wish to be understood as favoring the principle of towns and cities aiding in the construction of railroads. The benefit to be derived by a large portion of the inhabitants of a town, is too remote to justify it in most instances. We again have the pleasure of congratulating the public, and the several railroad corporations operating roads in the State, on the remarkable exemption from any serious casualties during the year.

  • Front Cover Symposium 2011
    Welcome to the Michael D. Wilson Symposium! April 25th 2012 First held in February 1999, the UMF Symposium has grown into a wonderful tradition. Each spring we take a day off from classes and from our normal routines to share in the exciting work of faculty and students—mainly students. In showcasing their scholarly and creative projects through papers, performances, poster sessions, etc., we are honoring our most deeply felt values as a public liberal arts college—specifically, active and engaged learning, academic rigor, student‐faculty collaboration, and service to promote the common good. I find it particularly exciting that Symposium provides an opportunity for everyone—from beginning students to seniors who are completing an exciting capstone project—to share their work in a public venue. I congratulate all the presenters along with their teachers and mentors. In addition, special thanks to the donors and organizers who have made this exciting day possible. Daniel Gunn, Interim Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Symposium Day is a wonderful opportunity for students to showcase their scholarly and creative work. During the academic year they pursue their interests through individual projects, group projects, and working in collaboration with faculty mentors. Symposium Day provides them with the stage to share their work with peers, friends, faculty, and staff. We send our congratulations to the students, and we also thank the faculty and staff who have helped the students achieve what they have today.
