C. J. Campbell was appointed to the L.T.I. Faculty in 1948 to initiate the courses in Technical Forestry and Forestry Engin - eering. A dedicated teacher, nothing could persuade John Campbell to desert the pro- fession and the school, — nothing, that is, but money, and plenty of it. Since August, 1956, he has been operating his own com- pany, The Denver Timber Company Ltd., That is THE DENVER TIMBER COM- PANY, LTD.,— Peeled poplar, from con- tented trees. Douglas R. Lindsay has been appointed Head of the Departments of Biological Sciences and Organic Chemistry. Mr. Lindsay was born in Port Arthur in 1921 and graduated from the Port Arthur Collegiate in 1939. He enlisted in the RCAF and served from 1941 to 1946. After discharge he entered Queen ' s Uni- versity where he specialized in biology, graduating with an Honours B.A. in 1949. He then went on to the University of Wisconsin where he specialized in plant ecology, graduating in 1951 with an M.Sc. Following his University work, Mr. Lindsay was for seven years a research botanist with the Canadian Department of Agriculture Science Service at the Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa. Mr. Lindsay brings with him a varied experience in many fields of research which should prove very valuable to the courses given at the Lakehead Technical Institute. Mrs. B. Viegandt has been appointed Assistant Librairian at the L.T.I. Mrs. Vie- gandt has had four years experience in the Fort William Public Library. 12

My experience with this question- naire has confirmed my faith in the relia- bility of democratic processes in judging matters of human concern. It is a striking fact that the same points of merit were presented with closely the same degree of relative frequency by men active in widely different areas. The groups to which I refer were: (1) The men of the Interim Committee, in dividuals con- cerned with human problems in their broad- est terms and accustomed to accepting the responsibility for major decisions, (2) the mechanics in our shops who were working long hours in fabricating the bomb. When it comes to questions of value associated with human life, judgments are from the heart. During your lifetime you will have to make many decisions. Some of them will be based on facts, many will be judgments from the heart . You will be influenced by unprecedented channels of communica- tion — newspapers, magazines, radio and television programs with coast to coast net- works. But it will still be up to you to make up your mind and act accordingly. You are members of a select group — the five or six students out of one hundred who are undergoing advanced education. It will be your privilege and duty to accept more than your share of responsibilities. Some of your decisions may well have far reaching effects — not only for yourself and your family, but for the country as a whole. It is my earnest hope that in your associations with your schools, your church and your community, you are building a strong sense of values and reliable stand- ards by which to judge them. 3 Carold iS. JQrcxun Principal THE S. A. C. President ' s It has been my privilege to fill the position of President of the Students ' Ad- ministrative Council for the final year of the Lakehead Technical Institute. As you all know the new college will be called the Lakehead College of Arts, Science and Technology. We wish our suc- cessors the best of luck in the new institu- tion with the elaborate name. But I know that we who have gone to the Lakehead Technical Institute will never forget the old building and the great little room known as the Common Room where the accumulated wisdom of the ages has been unveiled. We have tried to present an adequate social programme to a very lively student body. In this we have been able to profit by experience of the previous years. Inform- al parties and stags at the beginning of the S MESSAGE year have helped to acquaint the students with each other and hence the student body early became a unit. Technical, Arts and Applied Science Students have all joined to make a very interesting and enjoyable year. The Council and I wish to thank everyone for their co-operation. We also wish to thank Dr. Miller, our adviser, and Mr. Braun, our Principal, for their advice and help. I would like to thank my fellow mem- bers of the Council, the Athletic Society and the Year Book Staff for the great work which they have done. We of the Council hope that every- one ' s dream materializes and wish you all the luck in the world. WALTER MALCHUK President 11
