9 “WHY WOULD You WANT to becomePresident of the University of British Columbia?” John Macdonaldhas both a smile andaready answer for this question. His answer comes in deliber- ate tones, indicating that he pondered the matter care- fully before agreeingto assume the heavy responsi- bilities of his new office. “Because I believe,” he says, “it offers me an oppor- tunity to exert a significant influence on educational development inmy own country.” You sense two things quickly when you chat with John Barfoot Macdonald in the office of the President of the University of BritishColumbia. First is that you aretalking to a Canadian, not a manfrom Har- vard. “My father practiceslaw in Toronto. My grand- father was a furrier there. I grew up in Toronto’s east end,” he tells you. His road to UBC led through Regal Road elemen- tary school and Oakwood Collegiate to the University of Toronto, from which hegraduated with honours in dentistry in 1942. He lectured in preventiveden- tistry at his alma mater for three years, then served in theCanadian Dental Corpsfrom 1944 to 1946. The next seven yearsincluded post-graduate study in bacteriology at the Universities of Illinois and Col- John Barfoot Mncdonnld umbia, chairmanship of the dental research division at Toronto and aprofessorship in bacteriology there. In 1956 came his first association with UBC, as acon- sultant in dental education. He became director of For- syth Dental Infirmary and a professor of microbiology in theHarvard School of DentalMedicine the same year. Numerousthough both his activitiesand distinc- tions have been atHarvard, John Macdonald’s Can- adianism had a great deal to do with his acceptance of theUBC post. Speaking of things educational, John Macdonald ad- \\ mits: “I havealways felt free to criticize. This time itseemed the gauntlet was beingthrown at me. I Because would have been ashamed if I had not the courage to try to do something about it.” He didnot accept without regrets. His decision meantturning his back on a scientific careerhe en- joyed,and in which he was absorbed.Yet meant a If chance to work for the things in which he believes. John Macdonald’s beliefs arethe second reason he I Believe... came to UBC. If his Canadianism is his first char- acteristic, his phrase “Because I believe” is the second. His beliefs are such that when he sawa challenge he could not turn aside from it. Perhaps they are better described as the fibres from which his Canadianism is woven. In his opinionCanada has a greatrole to play in the world of highereducation.

Brock. Her life and her character had so many facets, few people were familiar with all of them. Somewhere within the covers of a whole book about her they would meet theirold friend more than once. But in a tiny article they might find no echo of thetones of voice she used for them. They would then conclude the art- icle to be false. She was Best Friend to countless people of every sort, and on varying planes of intimacy. This fact in itself is a rapidbut dependable sketch of her. If any man or woman is the Best Friend oE practically all who know him, or her, then you can bank on that character bcing Solomon’s ThousandthMan (and of course Kipling’s).

Well, be of good cheer. PEEP is on the way. TheParent Education Experimental Programme (PEEP, what else?) is a research project currently under way by two members of theFaculty of Education. Dr. J. M. Regal, an educational psychologist, and Mrs. DorothyRizer, a teacher with longexperience, were convinced that parents can come to the aid of children who are having difficulty with reading. Fired by curi- osity, and with no research funds, they have designed an experiment to help parents help their children to do better in school. “A parent of an underachiever,” say Dr. Regal and Mrs.Rizer in PEEP’S first progressreport, “may be toldnot to tutor his childbecause proper teaching requiresprofessional techniques and a blunder by a parent may causepermanent damage. In alimited number of cases,children may be sentto a remedial class for special assistance. But more frequently parents are told theirchild is inneed of specialhelp which isn’t available.” In other words, parents are told to submit to a life of quietfrustration while theylisten to little Johnny stumblingover the sentencesin his schoolreader or biting chunks out of his pencil in a desperate effort to do his arithmetic homework. PEEP hopes to solve this problem, and to that end sought the co-operation of the Vancouver School Board which gave its blessing and enthusiastic co-operation. Articles on the planned experiment in parent educa- tion were run in the newspapers. The response was im- mediate. More than enough applications came in from which to select theexperimental group. Participation was limited to parents of children whose performancein school was substantially below what couldbe anticipated as theresult of intelligence and PEEP achievementtests in readingand arithmetic. in short, underachievers. Children with averages of B or above, or childrenwith IQ’s below 80, wereexcluded from 0 theexperiment. Thegroup encompassed Grades 4 through 7. Into Fifty-four families were accepted for the experiment, involving 66 children. A control group, to match each child in the experimental programme, was selected by theschool principals from the same class, sex, age, grades, iQ and achievementtest results. the Future PEEP was plannedfor 20 weekly group-meetings of parents with whom individual interviews were held every two weeks. Attendance was made mandatory. if you didn’thave a doctor’scertificate that you were too ill to attend, you were droppedfrom the pro- gramme. Aten-dollar registration fee was charged for the cost of materialsused, and parents were requiredto complete a report following each lesson with their child. These reports were used for discussion at the individual interviews. One of the answersrequired in theinter- views was on“the direction offered the child with emphasis onthe study child.” Dr. Regal,who is a 16 forthrightman, translated for a parent: “I meanthis: threeper cent in reading, and fifty-eight percent in Did you say, very sweetly, ‘Come on, dear, it is time arithmetic,doubled the normal rate of advancement for homework’, or did you say, ‘Sit down, stupid, and in the given period.More skill in reading can be ex- get to work!’ ” pected tobring about further improvement in under- Some of theparents wereembarrassed to have to standingarithmetic pro’blems. write in their reports, “I shouted,” or “I slapped him.” The success of children with intelligence quotients As the classes continued, the parents modified their own of 90 and below is of special note.

19 Bob Reid, a UBCCommerce graduate with an uncommercial outlook, has wrought a quiet revolution in the fine art of designing books. He’s the only’ man in B.C. who makes a living solely out of the craft of

Readers of UBC Reports,the regular University news-sheet mailed to all gradu- ates, were surprised last March when their publicationsuddenly blossomed out in a radically different format. In place of the conventional masthead at the top of the front page, the letters UBC werescrambled in an artful pattern in theupper left-hand corner. The murky bodytype was replaced by something calledNews Gothic Condensed - thin- ner,blacker and easier to read. Jet-black linesseparated each column from its neighbour, and blank white space, instead of headlines,separated one story from another. Most readersdidn’t like it. They were used to seeing the paper the way it was, andthey didn’t see anypoint in those unescapableblack lines, which made the front page look like an obituary notice. But Robert R. Reid,the 35-year old typographer who directed Art School stu- BY dent Jim Rainey in designing the new for- mat,has no reservations at all. He says Sandy the new look is easier to read (he’s right), Ross thatthe paper viewed as aunit looks better(well, maybe), and that everyone BA willlike it just fine as soon asthey get used to it (time will tell). The UBC Reports experiment, whether ‘57 itsucceeds or fails, is only a minor skir- mish in Reid’s campaign to redesign prac- ticallyeverything that appears in print. Likeall typographers - abreed almost as rare in Canada as professional pigeon- breeders - he’s convinced that bad design onthe printed page isan intolerable affrontto the eye, a menace to compre- hensionand an unnecessary stumbling block for any literate society. “Mostpeople, even people who read a lot,don’t give a second thought to the

20 layout of whatthey read,” he says. “But typographycan make the difference be- tweenreadablea book andboringa tome.” Reidhas had ample opportunity to provehis thesis. Since the age of nine, whenan uncle gave him a toy printing press for Christmas, he’s designed or pro- duced a srnall library of pamphlets, mag- azines,posters, broadsheets, Christmas cards,bookmarks, annual reports and hardcoverbooks. His work has helped boost thecirculations of literarymaga- zines (Raven, Canadian Literature, PM) , madeit easier for brewery shareholders topuzzle out their company’s balance- sheets, has been exhibited at international typographicalcompetitions, and won for grown-up press he’d bought for $100 from Reid himself a solid artistic reputation. a retired printer.

Much of this reflectstheworld-wide revolution in graphic desgn, which has swept away the persistentstyles of the 1930’s andsub- stituted a cleanly contemporary approach. Locally, much of the credit for the change must go to Reid’s personal influence.

25 HOMECOMING Homecoming this yearwill be much more than a raking of memories and a sentimental journey to scenes of the past. The 36th annual pilgrimagewill have a new positive element-the Alumni series forcontinuing education. This return to the lecture room is intended CALENDAR to interest,enlighten, and provoke without attempting tobe too terribly profound. The subjects to be dealt with are broad in scope, controversial, topical and ofvital importance in the urgency of modern living.

27 I her Fortieth Reunion -They‘ve Had It!

“While the rain did wet the lawns it did not dampen the spirits of the young professors and their old students“

H. T. Logon, emeritus professor, c1tls.sic.s. Bert Imlah unci Annie Angrts

FOR THE MEMBERS of theClass of ‘22 whoattended the reunion atthe home of Blytheand Violet Eagles on July 4, itwas a glori- ous fortieth.Rain forced the party indoors but it had no apparent effecton attendance or on spirits. Thecelebration began in mid- afternoonand lasted well intothe evening. We, from Medford, Massachusetts,lingered on untilnear midnight tochat further with ourhosts between the telephone calls of appreciationthat flowed in tothem. The Eagles’ exquisite courtesy and hospitality remained unflagging tothe end. In all, some eighty-fiveclassmates andfaculty of thegreat days, togetherwith wives andhusbands, gathered from near and far. Manyothers sent messageswhich were readwhen Master of Cere- moniesAlderman Orson Banfieldsucceeded in reducing the high decibel countraised by dozens of group conversations. Weall felt particularlyhonoured and delighted that our mentors of oldcame outagain to meet with us, asthey did in 1957: Presidentand Beth OrsonBanfield, Poul Whitley ontl (Arts ’20) Klinck,Dean and Mrs. Clement, Harry and Mrs. Logan, T. H. Boggs,emeritus professor, economics Mackand Mrs. Eastman,Freddy and Bea (Arts ’23) Wood, Billy andMrs. Macdonald, Henry and Anne (Arts ’23) Angus,Teddy Boggs, Dr. and Mrs. Barss, Dr.and Mrs. Williams,Prof. and Mrs. King, Dr. and Mrs. Hutchinson, Dr. andMrs. Buck. Theirpresence raisedthe occasion out of the ordinary and, for all of us, the inter- veningyears seemed to have vanished. One can report that waiters skillfully, andassiduously, distributed and replenished glasses up- stairs anddown and that there was a deliciousbuffet supper, in- cludingspectacular planked salmon and Ernie Clark’s “Sovereign” strawberries.But what stands out inmemory was the renewed feel of thegrand fellowship of Fairviewdays. Nowonder it washard for thosemost separated from it over the years to breakaway! The localcommittee, ably assistedby TimHollick-Kenyon and GordonThom of theAlumni office, did a splendid jobof organiz- ingand planning the reunion. They arenominated again for ’67. Mywife, whospurns her own reunions at an ivied NewEngland campus and who has now joined in two of the Class of UBC ’22 is alreadyplanning ahead. But if we fromMedford, Massachusetts. or anothercouple from Durham, North Carolina, say, or from Richmondor Marin County, California, or fromToronto, or from otherdistant parts linger on bewitchedtowards midnight, it will simplysignify thatthis fellowship means much to those who, living far off. haveleast frequent opportunity to renewit.
