THE ASHBURIAN I The following is an extract from the Halifax Mail : Robert L. Stanfield, B.A., son of Mrs. Stanfield and the late Lieutenanl Governo r Frank Stanfield, of Truro, was presented with the Governor- General ' s Gold Medal, with highest honours in fourth year Arts at the annual Convocation Exercises of Dalhousie University on Tuesday. Mr. Stanfield won a graduation diploma with high honours in Eco- nomics and Political Science He also was awarded the North British Centennial Bursary, and the Overseas League essay prize in second year Arts. Bob Stanfield was at Ashbury from 1929 to 1932. We reproduce below a copy of a letter we have received from Robert Dav son, who left Ashbury last June and who is now at Dalhousie. Dalhousie University. Halifax, N.S., February 28th. Dear Mr. Editor, On looking through the Christmas issue of the Ashburian I came across a letter from Bishop ' s College. Seeing this letter inspired me to write to you, as Ashbury is well represented on this campus too, and I thought that some of the boys, and the Old Boys, would be interested to hear about them. Ashbury has, in all, ten boys attending- this university, all of whom are playing a major part in the college activities. John Rowdey is a second year law student and is a frequent visitor to the Trial Club ' . Norman Gillies is taking a course in Geology and still has the military chest developed earlier in life under Sergeant-Major Stone. John Weldon and Stephen Macnutt are on the University boxing team ; the former is the holder of the middle-weight title, and the latter the welter-weight. Yours truly was badly taken to the cleaners in the final of the featherweight division ! Basil Whalley, in the freshman class together with YVeldon and Macnutt, received honourable mention for his fine work on the fresh- man football team. The two Stanfield brothers have been here several years : Pete is doing well in Engineering and is on the first line of the senior hockey

THE ASHBURIAN [19] Old Boys ' Notes (Cont ' d) team; Boh is the studious one, and spends a great deal of time on his studies. The two remaining Ashhurians are Mason Johnson and Jack Bouti- lier, hoth of whom are doing nicely and entering into all the usual college activities as well as attending most of the prescrihed lectures. In closing this rather crude letter I would like to mention that we all hope for Ashhury ' s continued success. Sincerely yours, Rohert K. Davidson. L. H. Roherts Jr., who was President of the Dehating Society in his last year at Ashhury, has heen elected President of the Bishop ' s University Debat- ing Society and a member of the Students ' Executive Council. During the year he has debated for the university against Loyola College, Montreal, and against New York University. Roger Rowley is working for Gillies Brothers Lumber Mills at Braeside, Ontario. J. A. Calder is working this summer for the Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company. The following Old Boys have visited the School recently ; G. R. Perodeau, B. P. McCurdy, C. W. Fullerton, W. H. Hurd, W. F. Hadley, M. D. MacBrien, W. H. T. Wilson, A. C. Evans, A. Chapleau, R. W. Southam and Rowley Booth. We congratulate most heartily Jack Wilson, who left Ashbury in 1926, on receiving the degree of Ph. D. from Princeton. Since leaving School Jock has had a distinguished academic career. In 1930 he graduated from Toronto with a first class degree in Arts and went to Cambridge, leaving there in 1932 with an honours degree and a Pilot ' s Licence. Jock ' s specialty is Geology, and the sub- ject of his recent thesis for the Doctor ' s degree was Structual Geology in Montana. McGill University, Montreal. Dear Sir, I received your letter two very busy weeks ago, and have had no earlier opportunity of answering it. I have compiled as large a list as possible and I hope the following information will be of interest to some Ashhurians.
