Durins the years that Sir Arthur Currie guided the destinies of the university as Principal and lce-Chancellor, McGill made steady and gratifying progress towards the goal that had always been her objective — to exert an outstanding influence in the educa- tional life of this country. The advance was not particularly noticeable at the time, even to McGill men, but it was taking place; and it is easy now, after a period of fourteen years, to look back and see the strides that have been made. A comparison of the war-torn McGill of 1920 with the powerful and influential university of today reveals the facts that were not immediately recognized. Both in the physical realm of finances, buildings and equipment, and in the academic sphere of staff and curriculum, McGill under Sir Arthur rose to a high rank. But there is more than this to be remarked, for Sir Arthur made contributions to the university that cannot be measured in actual records of achievement. The influence of this great Canadian on the university, on its undergraduates and, on the many graduates with whom he came in contact, assisted McGill ' s progress in a way that is only now being measured after he is dead. Bui Sir Arthur ' s memory, and the stamp of his outstand- ing personality, will never d ie in the hearts of McGill men. In his quiet way, and in the course of his daily routine, the Principal was working and striving always in the interests of McGill, and alike through himself, and through the work he accomplished, did he serve to enhance McGill ' s reputation, and set her face forward in determined fashion on the road to progress and success. Sir Arthur ' s efforts, his valiant struggle against difficulties that sometimes looked insuper- able, and his magnificent loyalty and fairness, all come back to mind now, and they are a story that will remain indelibly written in the history of McGill ' s progress. Those who knew Sir Arthur best realize only too well the trials and tribulations which he went through, the long hours spent in his university and elsewhere on the affairs of the university, the mental stress and worry that eventually led, more than anything else, to his untimely death. These facts must be recalled at such a time as this in order that in their light the true value and extent of McGill ' s recent progress may be realized. When Sir Arthur Currie stepped into office in August, 1920, he faced a task of reorganiza- tion that was essential before any advances could be made. Threads that had been torn asunder during the hectic war years had to be rewoven into the university fabric; material that had worn bare in places had to be gradually replaced; and a new outlook and method of approach to meet changing conditions had to be carefully devised and introduced. The task was ons that might have frightened any man. and Sir Arthur hesitated before he accepted. But once his decision was made, he entered into his new duties with an energy and enthusiasm that was to remain undimmed during the passing of years. Although inexperienced in university and academic work, the new principal brought to his task outstanding qualities of mind and heart. He had an encirely open mind on university problems; he was willing to listen to all sides of a question or dispute, weigh the facts carefully, and then come to a decision that was always fair and nearly always right. Further, he was a born organizer and administrator, I I 1 1 Photos by the Associated Screen Neivs. Limited 19 5 1 Im j I 1 9 5 4r prepared in this capacil ' to supply service that was greatly needed. Finally, he had an out- standing name, and, as it was to prove later, an outstanding personality that was to bring wide- spread lame and recognition to the university which he headed. The progress that McGill made in the thirteen years under his leadership can only now be measured from the point of view of actual accomplishments, as in the wider field of reputation, prestige and national and international influence in education, the results cannot be estimated until the passage of years gives a clear perspective. A comparison of McGill just before and just after the war with the university as it stands today will serve to show the changes in staff, in curriculum and standards, in students, in buildings and equipment, in finances, and in general activity, that have taken place under Sir Arthur. In noting the growth and development in the student body, it is fair to make the com- parison between the year 1913-14 and last year, as conditions after the war, with the great influx of soldier-students after a period in which the university was almost deserted, offered particular problems that were not met with at any other time. Just before the war there were 1,478 undergraduates as against 2,600 in 1933; with 396 students in Arts as compared with 1,172 last year; in Engineering, 583 as compared with 398, the drop here being largely because of over-crowding of the profession rather than any deterioration in McGill ' s standards; in Law there were 76 as compared to 89; in Medicine 383 to 481 ; in Dentistry 34 to 40. But in graduate studies, and of this r eorganization Sir Arthur was always most proud, there were 115 students, about half of them non-residents working by correspondence, in 1913-14, while last year there were 288 men and women attracted from all over this and other countries by McGill ' s reputation as an outstanding centre for higher learning. Meantime, along with the growth in the student body, it had been possible continually to raise standards. Years of pre-medical, pre-dental, pre-engineering and pre-law work were introduced; and standards in all courses and years stiffened and adjusted. In two of the larger faculties it was decided that only a limited number of first-year students would be taken in, and this made it possible to select only the best qualified men. Steadily and progressively, the curriculum has been improved all along the line. Many new departments and studies were introduced, and many old ones given new life under the Currie regime. Under him came Dr. J. B. CoUip and his assistants to make McGill known the world over for its work in ho rmone research and general biochemistry; under Tait and Babkin notable strides have been made in physiology; then there has been Dr. Wilder G. Penfield, opening up a huge new field for advance in neurology; less spectacular, but of out- standing merit, has been the work in bacteriology; while in physics and chemistry the university has more than sustained a reputation long held. These recall but a few of the developments of recent years. In other spheres of university life, there was the organization of the Department of Chinese Studies and establishment of the Gest Chinese Research Library at McGill, the introduction of the McGill Library School, the opening up of such departments as social science research and public health and preventative medicine, and a broad expansion of extra-mural work. McGill was not only advancing herself, but offering a helping hand to the wide community which she served. The strength of a university must be measured to a great extent by the calibre of the men on its staff, and this was a fact that Sir Arthur held ever in mind. A list of a few of the leading professors brought to McGill during his principalship shows clearly how he helped in this regard to increase McGill ' s prestige: Dr. C. P. Howard, Dr. J. C. Meakins, Dean P. E. Corbett, Dean {conlimied on page 371) 11 In Memoriam GEORGE ELI ARMSTRONG Emeritus Professor of Surgery Died May 25th, 1933.

The Chancellor ' s Message UPON only a few occasions throughout the history of Canada have our people passed through such interesting and challenging conditions as those now confronting us, and to university graduates entering upon their life-work the times present perhaps more of challenge than they do to any other order of our citizens. It would appear that, in a large measure, the country, as far as private business is concerned, has come through the period of deflation and re-orien- tation that had to be faced, and has definitely set out upon the task of re- establishing and re-building on sounder foundations and more modern methods. It is a work of vast proportions, and is likely to extend over a considerable period of time. Under the leadership of men strengthened to the struggle by experi- ence, university graduates will take a large part in the work of the important era of national progress and development that lies ahead. To the graduate of today the world of work may have a less kindly and generous appearance than it has presented in other years, but I do not know that ever before there has been evident so great a need or so urgent a demand for high standards of efficiency and force of character in its on-coming generation of young men and women. If this be true. I have no doubt that the rewards the world will have to offer for these qualities will prove as ample and as satisfying as those it has given in the past. There should be no discouragement to the graduate in this prospect of hard work and continuous effort. Rather should there be the keen encourage- ment that comes with the vision of a battle ahead worthy of our steel. It is part of McGill philosophy that high standards of sportsmanship must be main- tained. Whether to win or lose, McGill men have gone to the game to give their best, undismayed by possible odds against them. To the graduates who are leaving McGill this year I would say — you can have no better basis than this for your philosophy of labour, and no more gratifying reward than the knowledge that you have played the game. For you all I wish a lifetime of opportunity, success and happiness. E. W. BE ATT Y I The PrincipaPs Message Reprinted from the Daily. Monday, October 2. 1933. AM grateful for this opportunity of extending a warm welcome to the students of McGill University, to those who are returning from vacation and to those who come for the first time. At this season, when we are entering upon another year of effort, it is fitting to remind you of the fact that the Governors, Corporation, professors and students are all members of one great entity, sharing the responsibility for the welfare of McGill. To those of you who are entering your first year of University life may I say this: At McGill you will be looked upon as responsible young men and women. There is no molly-coddling. You are expected to stand on your own feet and to do your own independent work. You will be given much latitude, even freedom, but if you abuse that freedom you will not succeed. I urge you, therefore, to use diligence and common sense, and to remember always that the welfare and dignity of the University are in your keeping. I feel that I must call the attention of older members of the University to the unusual number of failures in sessional examinations last year. These failures are not always due to laziness or to preoccupation with extra curricular activities; most of them come about because of the lack of systematic, daily, private study, and the want of self-discipline. These are times of widespread suffering and hardship. It is more necessary than ever to realize fully the opportunities and privileges that are ours. A great, well-equipped and well- staffed university is an expensive plant, representing large investments in money, in thought, in sacrifice. Waste of time under present circumstances is almost criminal. I appeal to all members of the University for a co-operative effort, to reduce the numbers of those forced to take supplemental examinations, and to ensure that we end the year with the fine record of high accomplishment that justifies the trust imposed in us all. The progress and success of the whole University can be achieved only through the earnestness, discipline, hard work and esprit de corps of all its members. A. W. CURRIE Montreal Inasmuch as the Principal ' s message has been for many years a regular feature of Old McGill, the editors feel that this volume would hardly be complete without the record of Sir Arthur Currie ' s last message to the students. The foregoing message has the additional virtue of containing a word of advice which may be more thoroughly appreciated, perhaps, at the end of the year than at the beginning, when it was originally offered.

AUTHOR OF ' RANDOM RECOLLECTIONS OF AN UNDERGRADUATE OF FIFTY YEARS AGO ' 22 Random Recollections OF AN UNDERGRADUATP: of fifty years A(X3 WRITTEN FOR OLD McGILL, 1934 by PROFESSOR NEVIL NORTON EVANS. M.A. Sc. HALF a centur - ago, the College grounds were separated from Sherbrooke Street by a wooden fence, and wooden gates led into the Avenue. Just inside, and on the left of the entrance, was a picturesque little stone lodge, where lived the Groundsman with his family. During the excavation of the railway tunnel under the mountain, this little building was so injured by the blasting that it had to be taken down (about 1918), and it has not been replaced. A wooden sidewalk ran from Sherbrooke Street north to the Main Building, with a turn-otY to the left to the Redpath Museum, which was opened in 1882. To the east of the Avenue was some grassy, level ground, beyond which, and behind the houses on University Street, there was a picturesque little glen. Through this there ran a little brook, or burn, which gave the name Burnside to James McGill ' s farm. Beside it there wound a delightful shady path, much admired of lovers; and near by was a spring of delicious clear, cold drinking water, now, alas, under the Chemistry and Mining Building. Behind the Redpath Museum was the Observatory, a storey lower than it is today; and across the head of the Avenue was the Arts Building; while a little further to the east, and a little back, was the Old Medical Building, occupying the site of the front of the present Biology Building. These were all the University Buildings on the Campus in those days. During the reconstruction of the Arts Building in 1926, thanks to the ingenuity of the architects, the old facade was so little changed externally that the general impression now made is much the same as it was half a century ago. The building then consisted of three parts, the Molson Hall to the left, the Centre Building, and the East Wing on the right. These three portions were connected by one-storey structures, the westerly one of which housed the Museum (till 1882), and the easterly one the Chemical Laboratory and adjoining Lecture Room. The East Wing was originally intended for students ' dormitories, but was never used as such. It was divided into two parts, front and back, the front part being the Principal ' s residence, and the back that of the gentleman who exercised the functions of Secretary, Registrar and Bursar. The door of the Principal ' s residence (above the present Office door) was reached by two curving flights of steps, while a very small door in the east wall gave admission to the other residence. The Bursar ' s office itself was on the ground floor, immediately inside the little door, consisted of one small room, and was presided over by the official himself and, later, one clerk. Not infrequently, in the early days, one found the ofifice empty; and then an elderly gentleman, in black frock coat and slippers, would appear from upstairs. The Principal had a very small office in the Main Building, and the Dean of Arts a smaller one, and neither of them had a secretary. No private offices were provided for Professors: they generally hung their coats and hats in the Faculty Room, which was on the ground floor; and if a student wished to see one of the staff, he had to meet him in his class-room, either just before or just after a lecture! On passing through the main entrance of the Centre Building, which housed both the Faculty of Arts and the Faculty of Applied Science, one entered a large hall or passage, run- 23 19 3 4 19 3-4. ning east and west, from each end of which there ascended a flight of wooden stairs to landings above. Immediately across from the front door were the Faculty Room and the English Lecture Room where Professor Moyse lectured. This latter was just where the back of Moyse Hall now is. Passing out of the west end of the hallway, beside the stairs, one entered the back of the old Chemistry Class Room, which, till the opening of the Redpath Museum, had also been used for Geology, Mineralogy, Botany, Zoology, etc. It was a gently sloping amphitheatre style of lecture room, with curved wooden benches and curved shelves — they could hardly be called desks— very much carved with initials, mottoes, etc. At the time of the rebuilding of the structure, in 1926, many of the Graduates requested that this room, with its various embellishments, be left unchanged, if possible; but it was found that this could not be done without seriously interfering with the general plan of the new interior. The blackboard in this room, as in the other lecture-rooms, was nothing more nor less than a portion of the wall- plaster, surrounded by a wooden frame and painted black. It was constantly chipping out, and required frequent treatment with ink to retain a uniform black surface. Opposite the front door, high up in the main hall, was the gong, rung by hand from the basement, but occasionally rendered vocal by means of an overshoe or other missile. Under the stairways aforementioned were sets of lockers, really nothing but boxes, about one cubic foot each. These were the private property of the Janitor, who had the letting of them to the students. There were hooks on the walls of the hall where overcoats and hats could be hung by those who did not care to crowd them into the lockers. One of the first things a freshman did was to purchase a gown — and generally from the Janitor; and this had to be worn at all lectures, though it might be so ragged and incomplete as to be almost unrecognizable. Some of the Professors were very strict about this, others were obligingly blind on occasion. The good old Dean of Arts, affectionately known as Pat, was one of the former. If he spotted an ungowned man in his class, he would look towards the other side of the sanctum and repeat: There ' s a sthranger in the room, there ' s a sthranger in the room, till the delinquent removed himself. The gown rule was very strictly enforced at examinations. On one occasion an unfortunate was unable to find a gown, and was told by the Dean he would have to leave. A friend offered to tear off part of his own ragged gown, if that would suffice; and the Dean ruled that, if the unclothed could get at least one arm through the fragment somewhere, he might remain. A mighty rent was soon made which rendered this possible and the now academically clothed candidate was allowed to remain and write. The examinations were held in the Molson Hall, which was prepared for this pur- pose by removing half of the horsehair-covered benches which usually filled it, and replacing them by long boards on little wooden trestles. There were not infrequently rushes in the main hall and in the passages upstairs. It is a wonder that there were never any serious accidents, as the banisters on the upper halls were just ordinary ones, and often came perilously near to giving way. On all such occasions the Dean of Arts would appear and read the Riot Act, threatening dire penalties; and the row would gradually subside. There was one small laboratory for chemical work, but no others — nothing for Physics, Zoology, Botany, Engineering, c. There was one draughting room at the top of the building, and when this became inadequate, one or two of the larger passages were divided lengthwise by thin wooden partitions, one side being thus shut in, and there draughting tables were set up. The Freshman Class in Applied Science (Engineering) had to go downtown two nights a week, to the east end of St. James Street, where the Council of Arts and Manufactures had rooms, for instruction in freehand drawing; and during the freshman year of the writer, ' 82- ' 83, three arc lights were erected on the thoroughfare just mentioned to see whether this form of illumination would be suitable for street lighting. In those days there were no movies, no (Condnued on page 27) I I I 1 24 M GILL COLLEGE - OLD BUILDING ° (NnhP ' Sllfa ' MOLSON HALL IN LEFT fORECaOUND GHOU D THE CHEMISTRY LASOaATOaV IN THE OLD ARTS SOILOING Photos by ' :llian] Sotman and Son, Limited Phntos by William Xolman and Si i . Limited {Continued Jrom f age 24) cabarets, etc., and consequently evenings were spent mostly in private houses. Mrs. Jones and her daughters were at home on Tuesday evenings, the Browns on the second and fourth Thursdays. Friends would turn up, and then there would be a discussion as to what form of amusement should be chosen. Cards, dancing, with one of the young people playing the piano, songs round the piano, etc., would be engaged in; but that winter, if the evening were a fine one. some one was likely to suggest that we walk downtown and see those new electric lights! And out a lot of us would troop. We were not afraid of walking in those days; unless you were a plutocrat, you called for your young lady and walked her to the dance-there were no electric cars, and the horse-cars were slow and far between. Besides, if you had the right girl, what could be nicer than a walk on a fine evening! Of course, the city was very small then, and if you had to see some one, who was not the right one, home to Westmount, you felt aggrieved. Students who did not live at home roomed round the city and ate at boarding houses. There was only one restaurant uptown west of the Main Street ; but a Mrs. Barr gave meals in a little house on the south side of Burnside Street, just west of McGill College Avenue, and a great many students ate there — there were regular relays. And Mrs. Barr was one of the salt of the earth, taking care of students who were ill, and doing all sorts of kind things. When she finally became incapacitated, one or two of her old boarders, who had become prac- tising physicians, etc., undertook to look into her finances and, to anything but the honour of those she had befriended, they found that large sums of money were still owing to her for meals, but were able to trace and collect from only a few of the delinquents. The University Library was on the ground floor of the Molson Hall ; the books were all in ordinary, though handsome, bookcases, in alcoves, in each of which there was a table. There was no stack. The Librarian was a gentleman prematurely old, having lost his health during some years of residence in a tropical jungle. He was a sad man, though obliging enough, and always seemed more or less unhappy when any one wanted to use the books. However, he was not very often intruded upon — the use of the library had not been inculcated as it is today— there were few, if any, graduate students, and no one thought of using the alcoves just for study purposes. Above the Library was the Molson Hall itself, used not only for such mournful things as examinations, as already mentioned, but for gay conversaziones and uproarious convocations. During my time the behaviour at these last mentioned functions became so outrageous that a solemn warning was given that, unless there was a very decided decrease in noise, smashing of benches, etc., degrees would thereafter be conferred in private. As it was recognised that the threat was intended to be carried out, there was a decided improvement in behaviour. The Professor of German occupied a small room ofif the Library. He was a tall, elderly m_an, with a long grey beard, and enjoyed bad health. His classes, which were very small, were not in the least exciting, and somnolence was more or less epidemic. Unfortunately, the fur nishings of the room consisted of a few of the horse-hair covered benches from the Con- vocation Hall upstairs; and, as these were very slippery, and as there were no tables or desks, cases of incipient sliding ofif the seats were not uncommon. Very different was it in the classroom of the French Professor. He was a more or less fiery individual, and many were the scorching comments made on behaviour in that room. A few observant students had noticed that when the pot was coming to the boil little drops of perspiration appeared on his smoothly-shaven upper lip. And then who so pious as those front benchers, the scathing denunciations passing over their scandalized heads and falling on the unfortunates behind. But, alas and alack, a year or two later the Professor decided to wear a moustache — and how the classes fared after that I do not know. In the fall of 1884, just fifty years ago, women students were first admitted to the sacred precincts. During the previous session there had been a very serious discussion in the Men ' s {Continued on ticige IS 2) 27 SOUVENIR HALLS OF SCIENCE THE AVENUE MEDICAL BUILDING NA  NTER THE CAI PUS ARTS AND SCIENCE McGlLL COLLEGE J IRA.

Malcolm Ransom David Goodman Vice-President Arnold L. Johnson Secretary F. Douglas MacKenzie THIS year the Society has experienced one of the most successful in its history, and the executive is grateful to all those whose co-operation made this possible. The opening meeting of the Society was the well-attended Arts Antics, held early in November. Entertainment was provided by class skits and songs, after the business of the Society had been dispensed with. Dean MacKay and Dean Johnson were the guests of honour. The proposed Informal Dance after the McGill-Harvard Hockey Game was cancelled through deference to the memory of our beloved friend and late principal. Sir Arthur Currie. One of the most important of the Society ' s enterprises this year has been the publication of the Arts Undergraduate Magazine, which appears in March as the official organ of the Society. At the time of writing, plans have been completed for a banquet in the Queen ' s Hotel, at which J. S. Woodsworth, M.P., will be the guest-speaker. Other innovations of importance which have been effected this year include the appoint- ment of an advisor to the Freshman Executive, installation of a shower in the Arts Building for the athletes of the Faculty, and the introduction of an improved system of Freshman Elections. Negotiations for a new Reading Room have been carried on throughout the year. The loig- forgotten constitution has been revised and rendered effective. After a survey of other I ni- versities the executive has left many recommendations for its successors which could not be put into effect this year, but which, it is felt, will prove beneficial to the successful functioning of the Society next year. 30 19 3 4 ,o, 1 l w ARTS ABRAMS.

CYRUS MACMILLAN, M.A., Ph.D. TO meet the growing demand for teachers or other graduates not only with some technical dramatic training, but with enthusiasm to apply to the problems of the theatre a higher standard of taste and intelligence, McGill offers two practical courses in the drama. At the request of the English Department, Moyse Hall in the new Arts Building, originally intended and now used for large Freshman classes, with a seating capacity of 500, was pro- vided, when built seven years ago, with a completely equipped stage, with all the appliances necessary for experiment and instruction in the various phases of play production. The primary purpose was to provide a dramatic laboratory for practical academic work in play pro- duction. It was felt that improvement of the drama or revival of interest in drama must come in large part, as heretofore, from the schools. It is the best equipped stage, outside of the commercial theatre, in Canada, and has been found wholly adequate for the work. The purpose of the courses made possible by the dramatic laboratory in Moyse Hall is twofold, first, to illustrate to students in the drama classes and to all students in the De- partment the possibilities for instruction and entertainment to be found in the plays of the past which they read and study in their courses and, second, to study the art of the theatre or the elements of play production. Each separate branch of the composite art of the theatre is considered — scenery, lighting, costuming, make-up — as well as the construction of plays and the history of the drama. Laboratory periods and actual work on the plays afford the students ample opportunity for practical experience in building and painting scenery and in directing. Two period plays are each year selected for production. The plays selected are representative of specific dramatic periods, and give opportunity for accurate work in scenery, costuming, and decoration. They extend from the miracle and mystery plays to plays of modern times. The list of plays staged during the past five years includes The Second Shepherd ' s Play, Every- man, Ralph Roister Doister, Gammer Gurton ' s Needle, Doctor Faustus, The Comedy of Errors, The Two Gentlemen of Verona, Volpone, The Beaux Stratagem, The Funeral, London Assurance, and Trelawney of the Wells. In addition to these period plays, all of which are studied in one or another of the general drama courses, three or four plays are each year given for children on Saturday afternoons, each play having five performances. The list includes Jack and the Beanstalk, The Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Little Lord Fauntleroy, Robin Hood. Alice in Wonderland (in celebration of the Carroll cen- tenary), Peter Pan, Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp, etc. As Montreal has no children ' s theatre, these performances not only provide training for students preparing to teach in schools, but also supply a definite demand for children ' s entertainment. All performances, whether for grown-ups or children, have filled the hall to capacity. An interesting result of this pioneer work in Canadian education is already evident. Teachers who have gone out from the courses have succeeded in persuading; school boards or community clubs to provide the schools in many places with stage facilities. The courses have attracted students, undergraduates and graduates, from all the provinces of Canada and from the New England States. These students have gone out in various callings, to act, we hope, as a leaven to the dramatic tastes and dramatic enthusiasms of the communities where they settle. The interest in practical drama, in its usefulness in improving oral ex- pression, in its enormous social importance, is becoming widespread in Canadian schools, and McGill ' s pioneer effort will doubtless be followed by other Canadian universities in response to the growing demand. The Director of play production is Miss Leona Gray. She is assisted by various members of the Department of English, two of whom studied under Professor Baker at Harvard in the days of the 47 Workshop. I— I I 1 47 Mc Don aid Gordon Hamilton The Arts Undergraduates Magazine Managing Board Editor-in-Chief Alec L. Gordon Associate Editors Morton W. Bloomlield Managing Editor John H. McDonald John W. Kerr THE need of a literary magazine has long been felt by Arts students, but not until the 1933 annual meeting of the Arts Undergraduates ' Society were plans for the publication of one definitely considered. At this meeting the Arts Undergraduates ' Executive was authorized to investigate, and publish, if advisable, an Arts Magazine. This was done after careful consideration. Upon adopting this policy, the Managing Board of the new journal, consisting of Editor- in-Chief, Associate Editors and Managing Editor, was appointed. Plans for the publication of the magazine were commenced immediately. In due course an Assistant Editor and Circulation Managers were appointed by the Managing Board, contributions were called for, and a sales campaign carried out. The magazine is the official organ of the Arts Undergraduates ' Society, and is financed by it, although the Managing Board controls its policy and the appointment of assistants. The magazine was published in March, and while only one issue appeared this session, the possibility of two or more issues next year will be considered. It is felt that this magazine furnishes an outlet for literary talent which heretofore has had no medium of expression. While the chief contributors are undergraduates in the Faculty of Arts, its pages are open to anyone con- nected with the University, contributions being judged on a purely literary basis. The Managing Board was assisted in its work by R. M. Hamilton, Assistant Editor, Allan A. Anderson and Gertrude E. Cooke, Circulation Managers. While the magazine is yet a young venture, it is hoped that it will, in time, become one of the established college institutions.

As in the past, a series of luncheon meetings were held in the Union, with prominent speakers as guests of the Society. The attendance of students improved somewhat over the previous year. Plans were made to hold the Annual Banquet late in March, with Dr. J. P. Day as the speaker. ' The Society was represented at the Annual Ball of the Commercial Society of the University of Montreal. The executive also received an invitation to attend a similar event at the Uni- versity of Toronto. The opening meeting was held late in October, with Professor R. de L. French addressing the Society on the subject of Engineering as relating to Commerce. Professor French pointed ' out many interesting connections between the two branches of education. Mr. James Wright i spoke at the second meeting, telling of the benefits of Insurance. i J. Alex. Edmison gave an entertaining address at the February luncheon, speaking on Tammany Hall. He spoke at length on the enterprising activities of Boss Tweed and his I merrj ' cohorts. ' , Mr. John Bassett, Vice-President of the Montreal Gazette, spoke intimately of hi? experiences as a reporter in the Press Gallery at Ottawa, giving an interesting angle on politics and the politicians. In athletics the Society had a successful year. Commerce were again triumphant in the j inter-faculty hockey series, while two Commerce teams were nosed out by Law for the inter- I class title. In football Commerce remained in the running almost up to the finals. r -] I 50 IJ 19 3 4 O • 4i .0. S COMMERCE BLAKELY. MALCOLM HERBERT Heaven ' s gift to Belleville, Ontario, January 2S. 1912.

ARTS AND SCIENCE Mrs. WALTER VAUGHAN, M.A. WARDEN OF ROYAL VICTORIA COLLEGE 61 Miss Heasley Hazin Mill. Dobson The Women s Union President: Margaret Miller Vice-President: Cynthia Bazin Secretary: Janet Dobson Treasurer: Miss M. Heasley THE primaiy purpose of the Women ' s Union is to encourage social and recreational activities among the students, keeping in mind the ideal of a building (for such purposes) in the not too distant future. The President and Vice-President are elected by the women student body in March each year, and take office at the beginning of the Fall term. The President of the Women ' s Athletic Association automatically becomes Vice-President of the Union. The Secretary, elected by the women students, holds office from January to January. The Treasurer, not an undergraduate, is appointed each year. Miss Heasley has filled this position for the past three years. All the women ' s societies on the campus are under the jurisdiction of the Women ' s Union, and receive their financial support from this organization. These clubs include the Delta Sigma Society, Societe Frangaise, Music Club, Library School, Women ' s Medical Undergraduate Society, R.V.C. Reading Room, etc. A buffet suppier, with an informal programme, was held at the Royal Victoria College in November, and this afforded all the undergraduates an opportunity to meet their fellow-students, especially the Freshies. The executive of the Women ' s Union meet once a month to discuss any relevant matters that may arise, and they welcome any suggestions or questions from any woman student. The organization is just three years old, but its possibilities are far-reaching. New plans are being made, and, with the support of the students, the Union can look forward to every success. 62 19 3 4 ARTS AIKMAN. MART ELIZABETH Bom l t ' ,l8. Montreal.

This year the students have participated enthusiastically in the Club ' s activities, and attendance at meetings has grown considerably. The first meeting was a Modern Shakespeare afternoon. It consisted of a series of amus- ing skits — all parodies on works of Shakespeare, and afforded much amusement to all those present. An innovation of the year ' s program was a joint meeting of the Delta Sigma with the Societe Frangaise and the Music Club, in which each Club contributed to the program. Another departure from the usual was made when the Intercollegiate Debate was held in the afternoon as a regular meeting of the Society. The fourth meeting took the form of the Annual Impromptu Public Speaking a nd Debating Contest. The speeches were well delivered, and Olive Sanborn and Gertrude Allen were judged winners from among a large number of contestants. Freshie Debates have been held as usual. Owing to the reduced budget there have been no debates this year with colleges outside the League. The final meeting of the year was held on Thursday, March 1st, and took the form of a public speaking competition. This is an annual event, and the winner is presented with a silver cup which she keeps for a year. Alice Johannsen won it this year for the fourth time in succession. I zz 1 zz 79 Elkii Perrigard The Women ' s Intercollegiate Debating Union McGill Teams Evelyn Elkin Alma Howard Elma Perrigard Ragnhild Tait THE Women ' s Intercollegiate Debating Union consists of the following universities: — McGill, Varsity, Queen ' s and McMaster. This year Varsity is the president, and McGill the secretary of the Union. On an appointed day the annual debate is held at each university on the same subject. The home team supports the aflfirmative and the visiting team the negative side of the question. The subject this year was, Resolved that Fascism is the salvation of, and not a threat to, civilization. Elma Perrigard and Evelyn Elkin upheld the affirmative at home against Jean Tubbs and Phyllis Noble of McMaster, while Ragnhild Tait and Alma Howard went to Toronto to speak for the negative. Both McGill teams won. The date set for this year ' s debate was Thursday, December 7th. The McGill debate took place in the R. V.C. Common Room, at four o ' clock in the afternoon, as a regular meeting of the Delta Sigma Society. This was an innovation, since all previous debates had been held in the Convocation Hall, as a separate function, in the evening. So few people attended these evening debates that it was thought advisable by the executive to hold them henceforth in the after- noon, since a large and enthusiastic audience would be a greater incentive to the debaters. The wisdom of this decision was borne out by a capacity audience. The judges for the McGill debate were Miss Shearing and Mr. Worsfold, of Westmount High School, and the Rev. Dr. F. W. Kerr, of St. Andrew ' s Church, Westmount. Queen ' s and McGill having both won both their debates, and a further debate to settle the issue being impossible, for financial reasons, the two universities tied for the trophy. 80 19 3 4 19 3 4 Savage Hamilton The R.V.C. Historical Club President Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer Helen Savage Janet Hamilton Marjorie Smith THE Royal Victoria College Historical Club furnishes the women students honouring in History, and all others interested in the subject, an opportunity of meeting informally to discuss topics of current and historical interest. In addition to these meetings for dis- cussion, lecture meetings are held from time to time throughout the year, when outside speakers are brought before the Club. The meetings are held on the first Wednesday evening of each month, in the Common Room of the Royal Victoria College. The first meeting of the session 1933-34 was held in November, when the election of officers took place, and the programme of the year was drawn up. In December Mrs. Warren, of the McCord Museum, gave an illustrated lecture on Montreal a Hundred Years Ago. A new feature was introduced at the January meeting, when an impromptu speaking contest took place. Helen Savage read a very interesting paper on The Travels of Marco Polo at the February meeting. This paper was written by Marguerite Bieler, a past president of the Club, who was unable to be present to read the paper herself. The future meetings will be devoted to discussion and the reading of papers by the members. cSl Williams Griffin The House of Commons Club President: Relief Williams ' ice-President: Alma Howard Secretary-Treasurer: Cynthia Griffin THERE have always been many and varied organizations on the campus, but with the founding of the House of Commons Club a few years ago a definite need was filled in the College. The Club, which all women students are invited to join, holds meetings once a month to discuss informally subjects of general interest to the members — subjects, in many cases, which are not covered by other societies. Two papers are usually read on allied subjects or on different aspects of the same subject. The meeting is then thrown open for discussion. The Club, this year, has had unusually interesting and varied programs. At the first meeting Professor -Adair gave a vivid account of his recent travels in the Balkans, stressing in particular their present economic and political situations, and adding many humorous touches from his personal experiences. At the second meeting Gertrude Cooke read a paper on Modern Educational Systems. The Universities of the United States and Canada were discussed. At a later meeting Relief Williams and Marjorie Gowans presented the two sides of the question: Is Woman Suffrage Worth While? At the February meeting Alma Howard and Eleanor Reid gave accounts of the International Students ' Service, of which Dr. Kotschnig, who spoke •this winter in Moyse Hall, is the Secretary. They both spoke from personal experience, having attended conferences of the I.S.S. in Europe last summer. They told of the work which is being done abroad and in Canada. There is already at McGill the germ of such an organization. At the last meeting Harriet Colby led a discussion on Pacifism. The meetings are generally held in the R.V.C. Reading Room, but the club is greatly in- debted to Professor Forsey, Dr. Huskins, and Professor Adair for their hospitality, and wishes to thank them for the three delightful meetings held at their homes. i 1 1 1 82 Freeman Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer MiUer Kohl The R,V.C. Music Club President Alice Miller Janet Hamilton First Year Representative Suzanne Kohl Extra R.V.C. Representative Hamilton Phyllis Davies Claire Freeman THE Royal Victoria College Music Club offers a wonderful opportunity for music lovers to meet for the purpose of listening to good music, as well as lectures on the subject. The meetings are held in the R.V.C. Common Room once a month, on Thursday afternoons, at four o ' clock. The programmes of this session have been especially varied and interesting. A seasonable lecture on Brahms by Mr. Frank Hanson was one of the outstanding successes of the year. This lecture was illustrated by phonograph recordings of some of Brahms ' symphonies. Among the other artists whom the Music Club has had the privilege of hearing are Mr. Colin McMichael, the tenor singer, well-known to radio listeners; Professor Dubois, whose instrument is the ' cello; and the two pianists. Miss Alice Goodwin and Miss Margaret Mcintosh. The third meeting of the year was notable for two things: Miss Marguerite Dorken and Miss Eleanor Hamilton made a unique contribution to the Club ' s musical experience in per- forming two of Lehmans ' delightful arrangements of Oscar Wilde ' s poems, the former as reader and the latter as piano accompanist. The two poems chosen were The Selfish Giant, and The Happy Prince. An innovation, or rather a new development of the Music Club ' s activities also made its appearance at this meeting, when a group of R.V.C. students, who have been studying choral work for the first time during this year, contributed two of their selections to the programme. This experiment is the more interesting as it is a complete departure from the activities of other years, which consisted solely of appreciating music, not performing it. The last meeting of the year consisted, as usual, of the election of ofificers for the session 1934-35, and the competitiori between the different years for the Inter-class Banner Trophy. r : 83 Michaud Royer Mile.

Grace a la bienveillance et aux bons conseils de notre Presidente- Honoraire, Mile Henry, et de notre Vice-Presidente Honoraire, Mme Furness, nous avons pu presenter aux membres de notre societe un programme varie et interessant. A notre premiere reunion nous avons eu un concours I ' historiettes. L ' honneur de rem- porter la premiere place fut bien dispu te, et apres maintes considerations les juges attribuerent le premier prix a une jeune fiUe de quatrieme annee. A la reunion Joint Meeting des cercles de Musique, de Delta Sigma et de la Societe Frangaise, notre Societe presenta une amusante comedie de Tristan Bernard, qui fut bien applaudie. Chaque annee nous montra ses talents respectifs a notre derniere reunion de 1933 en chantant et jouant de vieilles chansons frangaises. A notre prochaine reunion la societe presentera deux comedies composees par les eleves: McGill en 1960 et Tragedie Classique Modernisee. Nous devons ajouter aussi que le vingt fevrier il y aura une reunion des deux cercles fran- Cais du McGill. Pendant cette soiree nous aurons le plaisir d ' entendre M. d ' Hauteserve nous raconter son beau voyage a Tahiti. Les membres de la Societe desirent exprimer ici leur profonde reconnaissance envers leur Presidente Honoraire et leur Vice-Presidente Honoraire. Files off rent aussi leurs remercie- ments aux autres membres du Departement Frangais qui ont toujours montre un interet tres vif pour la Societe. 84 19 3 4 1 19 3 4 Bazin Huflsoii Webster The Women Students Athletic Association Honorary President President MissCartwrighl Secretary Barbara Webster Cynthia Bazin Treasurer Ray Hudson MANAGERS Track Rita de Pierro Swimming Barbara McPherson Rifle Club Constance Brown Badminton Mary Malcolm Archerj- Shirley Stevenson Tennis Andrea Hingston Basketball Elizabeth Millar Hockey Edith Walbridge THE Athletic Association, with the able help of Miss Slack, has enjoyed an active and successful year. The various clubs have offered interesting programs, and have been well supported by the student body. Intramural sport has been particularly stressed, with the result that basketball and ice hockey have accommodated a larger number and provided a wider interest. Besides this the Intercollegiate Basketball and Hockey teams have participated in outside games, and have ever upheld the reputation of McGill for clean play and sportsmanship. Because of unfavourable weather conditions the annual track meet was cancelled, but plans for an indoor meet are under way and, if successful, new champions will be crowned at it. The Archery and Tennis tournaments drew a large number of competitors, and were enthusiastically contested. A swimming meet is plarmed for the early Spring, and should prove a very popular event, judging from the enthusiasm of former years. The Association this year sent three representatives to Middlebury College, Vermont, to take part in a Wmter carnival staged there. A very enjoyable time was reported; our repre- sentatives also upheld the athletic reputation of McGill by placing in several events. 8.5 19 3 4 19 3 4 Tims Dobell Malcolm The R.V.C. Badminton Club Manager: Mary Hamilton Committee: Barbara Tims, Miriam Dobell SINCE the reorganization of the Women ' s Athletic Association in the spring of 1931, the Badminton Club has received an annual grant from this organization for the purpose of defraying its expenses. The membership is limited to forty, and the Club again was very fortunate in securing Convocation Hall for play. The Club continued its membership in the City and District Badminton Association, but this year no teams were entered, as it again conflicted with the mid-term examinations. A tea, followed by a Round Robin, was held every two weeks; and they proved quite popular and were very well attended. These Round Robins offered the members a great opportunity for doubles practice, and many took advantage of it. Doubles seemed more popular this year than singles, and there is keen anticipation of the M. W. S. A. A. Badminton Tournament, which will take place soon. The winners of the singles and doubles tournaments will each receive large M ' s and cups, while the winners and runners-up of the Club tournaments will each receive cups and spoons respectively. It is hoped that in the near future Badminton will become an intercollegiate sport. It had been hoped that this year the Club would challenge some other universities, but it could not be arranged. The Executive feels satisfied with the progress of the Club during the past year, and is confident that Badminton, which is rapidly becoming the most popular of indoor sports, will attain a really important position on the Campus in the near future.

Slack Babs Goulding Elizabeth Millar THE Intercollegiate games were held this year at the University of Western Ontario, in London, on February 23rd and 24th. For the past year McGill has been in possession of the Bronze Baby Trophy, as a result of the closely contested tournament which was held in Montreal in 1933. The Bronze Baby journeyed up to London with the team, but failed to return, choosing instead to reside with Varsity for the coming year. In the preliminary games Western beat McGill by the score 23-13, and Queen ' s lost to Varsity, 20-17. The following day Western faced Varsity to decide the champion, the final score being Varsity 20, Western 16. McGill lost to Queen ' s in the consolation game, the score being 22 to 17. Due to the discontinuation of the Montreal Women ' s Basketball League there were ver few outside games during the year. Several exhibition games were arranged with teams from the M.A.A.A. and Westmount High School. There was no Junior team as in previous years. The inter-class games were keenly contested. R.V.C. ' 34 finally won out, with R.V.C. ' 37 a close runner-up. It is an unusual occurrence for a graduating class to produce a strong team, and they are to be congratulated on winning the pennant. The members are indebted to Miss Slack, coach of the team, for her untiring energy and capable leadership. The Intercollegiate team is as follows: Velma Goulding (captain), Ruby Smith, Florence Jones, Cynthia Bazin, Janet Dobson, Janet Clouston. Helen Fyfe, Eileen Crutchlow, Elizabeth Millar. I =1 1 —I 87 Walbridge Stevenson Schnebly Gould ing Farmer RuRsel Hughes Horner Buchanan McCuaig The R.V.C. Hockey Team Coach Kenneth Farmer Manager Edith Walbridge THIS year R.V.C. hockey had the advantage of an early start and good ice. Practices have been held weekly at the Mount Royal Arena since the middle of November. At a meeting held early in the year Dr. R. B. Bell gave an instructive talk, explaining rules and plays. The team was very fortunate in securing Kenny Farmer as coach again this year, and a great deal of the credit for the good showing the players made is due to his excellent coaching. The purpose this year has been to create more interest in hockey rather than to have a picked number of good players. A record number of girls has been turning out to the weekly practices, about twenty-eight enthusiastic players reporting each week. Because of this in- creased interest, an IntramuralHockey League was formed, consisting of four teams, captained by Sheila Ritchie, Beverly Hughes, Margaret McCuaig and Edith Walbridge. Two matches have been played each week, and the games have been very close, the lead having changed hands very often. Two exhibition Intercollegiate matches have been played, against Queen ' s University and Bishop ' s University. A return match with Bishop ' s may be played. In both the matches played the R.V.C. team was victorious. In the game with Bishop ' s, played at the Arena, the Farmerettes overcame the Lennoxville squad by a score of 8 to 1. The match played at Kingston again proved the superiority of the McGill team, which won by a score of 3 to 1. The team consisted of the following players: Goal, Janet Clouston; Defence, Jean Buchanan, Edith Walbridge; Centre, Babs Goulding; Right Wing, Ruth Schnebly; Left Wing, Ruth Russel; Substitutes, Carey Horner, Margaret McCuaig, Beverly Hughes, Janet Stevenson. i_ zzq 1 I 88 nil DENTISTRY i A.

Ivan Guilboard Honorary President Dr. A. L. Walsh Dr. I. K. Lowry Vice-President Ralph C. Rondeau Secreta ry-Treasurer SINCE its inception fifteen years ago the Dental Undergraduates ' Society, has always been about the smallest body of its kind on the Campus. Notwithstanding it has been one of the most active. Each Dental student is ipso facto a member of the Society which aims to bring him into closer contact with his fellows. Monthly meetings, at which topics of Dental interest are discussed by prominent members of the profession, are usually well attended. The annual Banquet was held at the Cercle Universitaire de Montreal, in November. Speakers of the evening included Dr. A. L. Walsh, Dr. I. K. Lowry, and Dr. W. G. Leahy. Following the banquet the remainder of the evening was spent at bridge, billiards, indoor-golf, and like games, in which professor and student competed with equal zest. A basketball team representing Second Year finished second in its section, but was elimi- nated in the play-offs. The Dental Hockey team, while not winning any championship, neverthe- less enjoyed a successful season. At the time of writing a softball team is being formed, and the students are looking forward to the annual game with the staff. The Annual Dental Dance, held on February the ninth, was from all viewpoints the most successful held in recent years. A large number of graduates, students and their friends crowded the spacious main dining-room of the Mount Royal Hotel. The retiring executive wish to take this opportunity to extend their sincere thanks to Dr. Walsh, the stafT and the students for their active interest and willing support in every enterprise undertaken by the Society. 90 19 3 4 — Ol — -Ml- DENTISTRY COPNICK.

Cross Edmund A. Hankin Secretary Ian N. MacKay Treasurer John E. Riddeil Assistant Secretary Robert J. Nixon DURING the past year the Engineering Faculty has again taken its rightful place in student activities on the campus. Engineering was well represented in the Inter- faculty Rugby League, and although the team was not very successful in the title hunt, yet it was at all times formidable opposition. One of the class basketball teams reached the play-downs and, although finally eliminated, made a very creditable showing. Last spring. Engineering ' 35 won the Inter-class Hockey League with one of the best teams in recent seasons. The practice of holding luncheons was continued this year, the first one being held in the Grill Room of the McGill Union in November. The subject under discussion was, Gasoline and its Production. At the present time plans are under way for another luncheon, to be held in the middle of March. The Engineering Magazine, the first issue of which came out two years ago, has proved to be very popular. The third edition will be distributed in April. One of the feature items of this year ' s issue is a summer essay by Charles Pa ton. This treatise won the prize which is offered each year, for summer essays, by the Engineering Undergraduates ' Society. The Annual Plumbers ' Ball was held again this year in the Windsor Hotel. The dance was a success in every respect. A new low was struck this year when the price of the tickets was reduced to $4.00 per couple. Even at this low figure the Dance Committee was able to show a small profit. r 1 98 19 3 4 •k . fL J3 -k- CHEMICAL HANI). SAMUEL Born in Monrnal. Educated Monlrral HiKli School.

Bunting OFFICIALLY representing the combined efforts of the architectural students of this university — a group that has rarely exceeded the half-h undred mark — the Architectural Society has been most instrumental in maintaining a definite contact between these students and the graduates of this particular school, whose draughtsmen the former will — or would like to-be in the near future. The function of the society is really two-fold. It is the architectural community purchasing agent for drawing supplies, pencils, papers, etc. — a fact which many engineers have been thankful for — and it is convenor to some willing victim who is gracious enough to address the society members on any subject that can keep him in (archi- tectural) words for about an hour. The supply base, which provides a real reason for a treasurer, has been so successful in the past in making sure that there would be no deficit, that a banquet has become a matter of custom, out of the excess profits. The meetings of the society this past year have been of a very high calibre, and were un- usually instructive and thought provoking. The fascinating art of woodcuts was demonstrated by Professor Traquair, the Head of the School. Professor Nobbs spoke on some very revolution- ary theories concerning the entasis of the Greek Doric column, which may still have some ramifications in archeological circles. Mr. N. A. Fellowes addressed the society late in February, on modern European Architecture. H. Ross Wiggs gave a well-appreciated talk on the render- ing of drawings, and a representative of the Armstrong Cork Co. spoke on the uses of cork tiles in the construction of walls and floors, and on the use of cork for acoustical correction.

DEAN OF THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES AND RESEARCH 117 Goode Goulding Solomon Dean Eve The Graduate Students Society Honorary President President Secretary Treasurer E. Solomon O. Denstedt Dr. A. S. Eve Grey King THIS society functions in the interests of the graduate students of McGill, irrespective of departments, and is maintained by an annual fee paid by all graduate students. Thus every student in the School of Graduate Studies automatically becomes a member of the Society, and is entitled to enjoy the privileges thereof. The past session has been an unusually active one for the Society. Under the able leader- ship of President Grey King, monthly meetings were held, the regularity of which was only broken through the lamented death of McGill ' s late Principal, Sir Arthur Currie. In addition, the Executive inaugurated something entirely new to the University, in the form of a dance run upon the partner-by-lot system. This is a system of pairing off couples, common to Western universities, in which men and women buy stag tickets to the dance; their names are written out on slips of paper and put into respective hats, and couples are paired off by lot, each taking his or her chance on partners. The dance took place early in January, in the Union Ballroom. Music was rendered by Howard Simpson and his Privateers. Refreshments and favors were provided, and the evening was pronounced by all to have been a great success. This innovation will be carried out more extensively in the future, it is hoped. Another indication of the vitality of the Society was the appearance of a Graduate Column in the McGill Daily at regular intervals. The column was the means of expression of various members of the Graduate Students ' Society, and has aroused no little interest. Thanks are tendered to Dean Eve, of the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research, for his generous patronage and interest in the activities of the club. 118 Candidates for Degrees, Graduate Faculty Doctor of Philosophy AGRICILTI ' RAL CHEMISTRY AGRICULTURAL BACTERIOLOGY - - - BIOCHEMISTRY - - - - BOTANY CHEMISTRY ECONOMICS ENTOMOLOGY GEOLOGY HISTORY ORIENTAL LANGUAGES PARASITOLOGY - - PHYSICS - - - - .

Stuart Foster Dr. Wm. H. Watson Secretary- Treasurer : Dr. W. Bruce Ross THE McGill Physical Society was founded in 1897, the object, to quote from the Consti- tution, being to discuss original work in progress in the Macdonald Physics Building; to report on current scientific periodicals; and to promote Physical Research in the University. Some of these activities have since been taken over by the Journal Club and the Colloquium, so that the aim is now to present reviews of topics of current physical interest suitable for an audience not composed of specialists. The membership thus includes, besides the Staff, Honour Students in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistn,-, and allied subjects, as well as representatives of the University of Montreal, the Ecole Polytechnique, the Bell Telephone Company, and other institutions, and the fortnightly meetings are open to the general public. Several noted outside speakers have addressed the Society during the session 1933- ' 34, these meetings being held jointly with the McGill Chapter of the Society of Sigma Xi. Two papers, one on the Expanding Universe, and the other on Cosmic Radiation, were read by Abbe Georges Lemaitre; Professor E. O. Lawrence discussed his ven, ' recent work on the deuton; Professor W. L. Bragg spoke on the Structure of Alloys; and Mr. F. T. Davies described the Canadian Polar Year Expedition. Thus the Society has been able to bring before those interested authoritative reports on some of the latest developments in Physical Science. 122 LAW !!iSI PERCY EL WOOD CORBETT, M.A. DEAN OF THE FACULTY OF LAW 123 19 3 4 19 3 4 Mitchell McNamee Bradley Sprenger Dean Corbett The Law Undergraduates Society President Vice-President William Mitchell William Sprenger Treasurer Secretary Kenneth McNamee W. B. Bradley A REVIEW of the activities entered into by the Society during the past year shows an increase over those of former years. While the executives have endeavoured to cope with matters of routine, the undergraduates have brought intellectual and athletic distinction to the Faculty of Law. This year the Football Team was extremely strong. All opposition was brushed aside by the machine led by Captain Mitchell. Owing to adverse weather conditions the team was unable to meet the winners of the other section, so which faculty has the best football team is still a matter of conjecture. The Hockey Team was also a particularly strong aggregation this year, and after the usual fashion of the Law Lions, made a very fine showing. Before Christmas two meetings of the Society were held. At the first Mr. R. L. Calder, K.C., gave a very instructive and interesting address on the topic, Is Quebec a British Prov- ince? At the second, Mr. A. Chase Casgrain, K.C., spoke on The Preparation of Cases. Both speeches were received enthusiastically by the members of the Society. Undoubtedly the most colourful event of the season was the Annual Banquet held at the Queen ' s Hotel, given to the Faculty and the Upper Classmen by the Freshmen. During the course of the evening two witty and amusing speeches were given by the Dean and Professor F. R. Scott. Songs and speeches by prominent members of the undergraduate body completed an enjoyable evening. This function has established itself as the outstanding social event of the year, due to the lack of awe-inspiring formality which usually is present at such banquets. 124 19 3 i4:W ,.i.

The Law Society Vice-President: President : Thomas D. Robertson William P. Sprenger Sec. -Treasurer: William Sellsir THE Law Society of McGill University was created in 1931 for the purpose of enabling students in ttie Faculty of Law to meet and discuss legal subjects of interest. The usual practice is to hold three or four important and well-attended meetings during the session rather than a great number of mediocre and poorly-attended ones. For each meeting the executive procures a prominent member of the Montreal Bar to present a paper on some subject which will appeal not only to senior but freshmen students in law. Following the presentation of the subject itself, the students join in asking questions of the guest-speaker upon the matter under discussion. The meetings, while productive of great good fellowship and conviviality in a secondary way, justify themselves primarily in having brought the members of the Society into contact with some practical problems of the profession which are not touched on by the academic course. This year the first meeting of the Society was held in November, when practically the entire Law Faculty heard, with considerable interest, that eminent Montreal lawyer, R. L. Calder, K.C., who spoke on the subject ' Is Quebec a British Province? The address was provocative of much discussion, and the students voiced their opinions pro and con. At the second meeting A. Chase Casgrain, K.C., of the local Bar, delivered an address of particular value to all lawyers-to-be, when he spoke on The Preparation of Cases. Again the attendance was excellent, and the subject-matter presented was absorbed eagerly by all, as it was of a type which cannot be learned in the class-room by any amount of study. It is this sort of subject which the Law Society was originally organized to present. The third meeting takes place on March 20th, when the Society will hea r one of the pro- fessors of Osgoode Hall, Toronto, who will speak on Legal Education in Ontario, thereby affording the students of McGill an opportunity of comparing their preparation tor the Bar with that of Ontario students. Filling a definite want in the life of the students of the Faculty of Law, the Law Society is bound to continue strong, increasing in popularity and usefulness as the years go by.

Morrison Case Reporter George V. Faulkner THE McGill Medical Society was established in 1877. The main objects of the Society are the stimulation of interest in medical matters and the development of a strong spirit of faculty loyalty. All students registered in the Faculty of Medicine are active members. As has been the custom, the Society has held fortnightly meetings throughout the year. The programme of these meetings in each case consisted of an address by a guest speaker, the discussion of a case report, and refreshments. There has been an encouraging attendance at each gathering this year, and the increasing interest of the students is sufficient proof of the success of this Society. The first meeting of the session was addressed by Dr. John Beattie, Associate Professor of Anatomy. Shortly after his address Dr. Beattie resigned his position in order to accept the post of Director of Research for the Royal College of Surgeons, London, England. Professor John R. Fraser, Honorary ' President of the Society, was the second speaker. Among others who addressed the Society during the year were Dr. J. E. de Belle, Professor A. H. Gordon, Professor A. T. Bazin, Dr. C. L. Huskitis, Dr. A. D. Campbell, and Dr. M. I. Seng. The Medical Dance, the principal social function of the Society, was held in the Mount Royal Hotel on January nineteenth, under the patronage of many of the Faculty and their wives. It was a brilliant success, and was attended by two hundred and five couples. The Medical Dinner, held in March, brought to a conclusion the fifty-seventh year of the Society. This year it was decided to make this annual gathering a more informal afTair than in former years, and to augment the feeling of good-fellowship for which the Dinner is noted by several sketches of local medical life, an idea which proved to be highly successful.

Murray Mclntyre Rowland Henderson George V. Faulkner Wm. D ' A. Maycock Wm. M. Witherspoon THE McGill Medical Undergraduate Journal is now in its third year of publication. It is published four times each year, and is produced entirely by the undergraduates of the Faculty of Medicine. Its object is to publish material of medical interest written by medical undergraduates, and to stimulate literary effort among the student body. Only on special occasions is material written by graduates accepted, and then only when solicited by the Editorial Board. As this is strictly a professional journal, its contents are limited to the broad field of medical knowledge and interest. This provides a wide range of all t i3es of writing, including historical and biographical essays, original poetry, resumes of important groups of clinical conditions, summaries of the most recent discoveries of research in sciences related to medicine, and discus- sions of the present and future organization of medical education and practice. Through this Journal students in medicine may acquire facility in various forms of literary- expression, from the most informal presentations of interesting material to the most strict scientific treatise. Herein also is the medium through which the most recent and significant information is pre- sented to ever ' student in an attractive, convenient, and permanent form. In addition to these longer articles, there are editorials, book reviews, and case reports of special interest for diagnosis. This is the official organ of the McGill Medical Undergraduate Society. Its circulation includes the entire Faculty of Medicine and a considerable number of Montreal physicians and recent graduates in Medicine. I =q 1 — 1 147 ' •-• ' MUSIC DOUGLAS CLARKE, B.A., Mus. Bac, F.R.C.O. DEAN OF THE FACULTY OF MUSIC 11!) The Faculty of Music THE Conservatorium of Music officially opened the season in October, with an informal gathering of the students, who were given a short address by Dean Clarke. Professor Clarke emphasized the value of studying music for the love of it alone. He related how this appreciation of the Art was recently demonstrated, when thousands of Londoners, on a terrifically warm night in August, filled the Albert Hall, and hundreds stood through an entire performance, scarcely daring to breathe lest they miss one note of the glorious works of Bach, Beethoven and Brahms. After this address tea was served, and so commenced another year. At Little Convocation, last May, 1933, Teachers ' Licentiate diplomas were presented to Lileda Dodds, Annie Harris and Muriel Horner. The following October, a presentation of certificates for local 1933 examinations up to the Highest Grade took place in R. V. C. There are five scholarships and two bursaries awarded each year. There are two Mac- donald Memorials, one of which was awarded to Alexander Brott, violinist, and the second divided between Bernard Gralnick and Larry ' Wills Henderson, pianists. The two Peterson Memorials were won by Isidore Gralnick and Noel Brunet, violinists. The Ellen Ballon Scholar- ship went to Muriel Jackson, pianist, and the two bursaries were awarded to Lily Kurtz, contralto, and Mae Fliihman, ' cellist. In February and March, Student Recitals are held in the Conservatorium Hall, where each budding artist is allowed the privilege of expressing himself on his own particular instrument. The Conservatorium Concert Orchestra has been making a name for itself under the direction of Mr. R. de H. Tupper. It has a h-eady made three public appearances and has given one radio broadcast, receiving at all times enthusiastic support from its audiences. i I 1 I 150 The Conservatorium Club President Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer Programme Convener Social Convener Alec Brott John Benson Muriel Johnson Violet Balestreri Lucille Rolin THERE being no student organization in force at the Conservatorium during last year, it was suggested at the beginning of this season to form a club that the students might benefit from — both musically and socially. A meeting was therefore called early in November, at which officers were elected and a prospective programme outlined for the season. Membership in the Club is restricted to Senior students, and in order to establish a fund to rneet current expenses, a membership fee was instituted. A club-room was kindly placed at our disposal by the Dean, and due to various contributions by the staff and friends of the Club, our facilities for meetings and general convenience to the students have been greatly enhanced. As one of the main objects of the Club was to give the students an opportunity of hearing each other, and the added experience of public performance, the programmes have therefore been presented by the students themselves, but at our Christmas meeting the Dean very kindly favoured us with a group of solos, and the Conservatorium String Orchestra also contributed to a most interesting meeting. Mr. Charles Naegle, who played with the Montreal Symphony Orchestra this season, paid a surprise visit to the Club, and also played for us. After the musical programme is completed an informal dance is held and refreshments served. It may then be said that the Club has enjoyed a most successful season, and great credit is reflected on the executive, who have given most freely of their time. We should be glad also of this opportunity to extend our thanks to the Dean of the Faculty of Music, Mr. Clarke, for his many helpful suggestions and unstinted interest in the Club. A major portion of its success is due to his many kindnesses. 151 19 5 4 I VM J I 1 9 5 4r {Continued from page 27) Debating Society (which had not been consulted, of course) as to the wisdom of the proposed move; and I have a vivid mental picture of a tall, raw-boned theologue. with a face like a horse, solemnly declaring that, if women were admitted to the College, he should be obliged to with- draw. They came. I don ' t know what happened to him. He probably took a church some- where and isecame a regular attendant at the meetings of the Ladies ' Aid. To house the women students, who were, at that time, not allowed to attend any classes with the men, three class-rooms were built above the one-storey connection between the Main Building and the Principal ' s Residence. This was above the old Chemical Laboratory, which turned out to be very convenient; because, in those days, there being but very few foun- tain pens in existence, the ladies used to carry round little portable bottles of ink which had an unpleasant habit of emptying themselves down the fronts of long dresses. Then the Lady Superintendent would bring the unfortunate sufferer into the Laboratory ' and act as chaperone while the worshipping ( ?) Demonstrator, generally on his knees before the victim, endeavoured to remove the stain. This was simple enough; but not removing the dye at the same time was not so easy. There is no doubt that the scientific ability of this LTniversity servant is held in very low estimation by the inky belles of those days. At one time the class in Blowpiping consisted of one woman and perhaps fifteen men. The Professor took the men in one Laboratory, and the Demonstrator the woman in another. This lady happened to be Irish, very beautiful, and very impulsive. During the course of an experiment she set her hair on fire, without noticing it, and the Demonstrator extinguished the fiame with perhaps a little more energy than was absolutely necessary. Not knowing the cause of this sudden bat on the head, the lady was naturally very indignant, and, allow- ing the unfortunate man no opportunity of explaining, gave him the severest tongue-lashing he ever experienced. Fortunately the burning of hair is by no means an odourless process, and the wafting down of the awful smell soon put an end to the tirade and served to exonerate the Demonstrator. Somewhere about 1887, one of the benefactors presented the College with a gas-engine and dynamo, intended primarily to supply current for experiments in connection with the lectures in Physics. Previously, when a current was needed for optical experiments, it was produced by a fifty-cell Grove battery. It took the Janitor (there was no demonstrator) more than an hour each time to set the battery up, and another hour to take it down and clean it; and it cost about five dollars each time it was used. Well, this gas engine was installed under- neath the Chemical Laboratory, but when the installation was complete, and the man who had set it up had gone away, it was found that no one knew how to make it go. Eventually the Chemistry Demonstrator, the only Demonstrator in the College at that time, who had taken a great deal of interest in the setting up, was allowed to try his hand and, after some practice, became quite an efficient gas engineer, the College supplying him with a suit of overalls in recognition of his services. The Convocation Hall was wired, and lights installed, and on great occasions the gas engine was started, and the company treated to electric light. On the occasion of one Conversazione the Demonstrator started the engine and, having seen that all was in order, hurried home to don his glad rags and call for a very pretty girl and her mother. (Chaperones were de rigncur in those days.) On arriving with his fair charges at the Hall, he was met by a despairing group who told him that all the lights were out. So he had to turn the ladies over to some one else — probably the hated rival — don the overalls, and play mechanic till all was in order again. On account of the extreme smallness of the staff in Applied Science (Engineering), outside engineers were requested to give lectures, which many of them were good enough to do, mostly at the College in the evening. Mr., afterwards Sir John, Kennedy, the Harbour Engineer, used to invite the students to his house one evening each year, where he gave them a lecture in an upper chamber on some engineering subject, and then announced that Mrs. Kennedy (Continued on page 34S) 152 THEOLOGY REV.

Oliver Nugent Vice-President H. M. Dawe, B.A. Chairman, Unemployment Committee Secretary-Treasurer G. L. Fulford, B.A. A. Phillips Silcox, B.A. AFFILIATED to McGill University are three Theological Colleges — namely, the Diocesan, Presb lerian and United. These colleges are situated on the University campus; the Diocesan and United on University Street, and the Presbyterian on McTavish Street. Each college has its own building, faculty, and student body, and to a large extent is occupied with its own activities. Because of this the position of the Theological Undergraduates ' Society is a dif cult one. The purpose of the Society is to give representation to the undergraduate students pursuing courses in theolog) ' . Thus it is represented by one member on the Students ' Society. The need for the Society is apparent. At times it is necessary for all students in theology-, irrespective of denomination, to act as a unit. It has a membership of approxi- mately sixty. The Society sponsors an Unemployment Relief Scheme by which two young men receive board, room, education, and pocket money. This project has been supported by afternoon teas and musical concerts in Divinity Hall. The well-equipped theolog lays a firm foundation in the liberal arts and sciences. In athletics he recognizes the truth of the statement, a sound mind in a healthy body. On the other hand his contribution to the fuller life of the University consists in the study of those realities which are vital to man ' s true welfare for time and for eternity. Basketball and hockey are played by the three colleges, and teams from the Under- graduates ' Society represent Theology in these Inter-faculty sports. Debating finds its place also among the members. 155 1 9 3 -i m 0t THEOLOGY CATHCART, JOSEPH Born May 11th. 1898. at Bel- fast , I reland . Educated Nat- ional School. Belmont, and Botanic College.

Hullin THE Review was first issued as a link between the students and alumni of the Montreal Diocesan Theological College during Michaelmas Term, 1931. It was unfortunate from the economic standpoint in the time of its founding, but since that time it has continued to be published bi-annually, notwithstanding the fact that it has never received financial support from any official body. Since the time of its inception it has remained com- pletely independent, under the self-assumed responsibility of its original editors, and its present sound financial condition over a period of three years is unusual enough in these days. The Review has already become an established student publication, and there is good reason to suppose that it will be further enlarged in the future, as far as size and circulation are concerned. The editors have attempted to maintain a consistent policy in keeping with the object of the Review. College news and reports from the Alumni Association have always been an established item in the magazine. Other articles of a critical, creative, or devotional nature, have always been subjected to severe criticism before inclusion. A high standard of composi- tion and a fairness in treatment of the subject have always been demanded of contributors. The editors have persistently sought to improve the publication from the technical point of view of design, layout and t T3e. They have not been content to accept the standard of the first nimiber as the highest possible achievement. It is sincerely hoped that their successors will maintain such a policy.

The Library School President Gwen Halpenny Vice-President Isabella Arthur Secretary-Treasurer C. K. Morison THE Library School of McGill University first began in 1904, when summer classes were inaugurated. It was not until 1927, however, that the first winter class was formed. A few years latei the School fulfilled the requirements of the American Library Associa- tion as a training school for librarians, and in 1930 it was granted the permission to confer on its graduates the degree of Bachelor of Library Science, which enhances to a great extent its position as a training school. This year, 1933-34, reveals through the students registered in the course the Dominion- wide fame and respect that the Library School has won. There are graduates here from nearly every important university from New Brunswick to British Columbia. Because of the small number of people in the class, and because of the general interest in the work, everyone enjoys a feeling of unity. This is most apparent in the animated dis- cussions which take place each afternoon during the tea hour. Each one is interested in the other ' s progress in the various problems allotted throughout the term, and in general com- parison of the work, and by this method a great deal is accomplished throughout the year. Each spring the Library School is taken on a conducted tour of important libraries, museums and art galleries in New York, Newark and New Haven. The object of this trip is to give the prospective librarians an insight into the progress in the field of library administration, and to enable them to have some idea of the problems that they will encounter. 163 t ft 1 1 II 1.2 t   « Willis Jamieson Reid Armstrong Moffat Pibus Hunter Noel Gough IVIacLaren MacPfiee C. M. Maclimnon McKinlay Ross MacMillan Enwright Scott F. M. MacKinnon Anderson McCunn Weir The School for Graduate Nurses President: C.L.Anderson Vice-President: Mary H. Enright Secretary-Treasurer: F. Marjorie MacKinnon THE demand for higher educational standards for nurses is not a new or unrecognized one. The difficulty has always been the lack of trained teachers or leaders to meet the need. The purpose of the School for Graduate Nurses, which was founded in 1920, is to prepare nurses to serve in these capacities, either in Schools of Nursing, or in the field of Public Health. The value of the School may be judged by the far-reaching influence exercised by graduates of the School, who may be found in prominent positions in the profession through- out Canada. Last year a severe blow threatened the advance of nursing education. The financial upheaval, which so drastically affected the world, has not left our corner of it undisturbed, and for some months it was doubtful whether or not the School would be able to continue its valuable work. So much is its contribution to the progress of the nursing profession recognised, that tremendous efforts were made to raise the sum necessary to carry on the important task. Nursing organizations throughout Canada used every means in their power to redeem their pledges, and, thanks to their indefatigable efforts, the future of the School for the coming year is assured. Affiliation with such an old established centre of culture and learning as McGill University is a privilege which is fully realized. Perhaps it is poetic justice that the nursing profession, which develops hand in hand with the medical profession, is now reaping benefits from the University whose first faculty was the Medical Faculty and whose first great names were in the medical profession. 164 M.

This being a year of transition, there have been a number of adjustments made, and the Seniors have had some of the advantages of the new course. With the addition of the year in Arts and Science, the future graduates will receive a higher diploma than that previously given. The students were unfortunate in losing Miss Wain from the teaching staff this year, due to injuries which she received in an accident. The School hopes that she will be back next year. During the Teachers ' Convention in October, the School had the pleasure of hearing Mr. F. W.

A committee was appointed representing her three schools, and charged with the responsibility of collecting the necessarj funds and deciding on the nature of the remembrance. The privilege of contributing to this worthy cause was made available to all students previous to 1918, as well as to the present and former members of the staff, and the College employees. The committee sought a small but general contribution, and were greatly gratified by the whole-hearted response. From all parts of the world contributions were forthcoming which have been built into the memorial now established. The choice of appropriate memorial features was a difficult one. The objective set was to secure something which, besides being a fitting tribute, would be permanent and useful. Many different types of memorials were considered before the final selections were made. The four-faced electric clock, as shown in the illustration, forms the central feature. The case is moulded in bronze and is surmounted on all four faces by the College crest, while below appear the dates 1914-1918 and other memorial references. Its location is a central one in the Main Building, v. ' here the throngs of present and future students congregate. It fills a long- felt need, and fits admirably into its surroundings. The names of the 357 persons who served have been inscribed in a Book of Remembrance, which forms the second memorial feature. The material used in the book is genuine morocco leather. The printing is all hand-done in old English, the work of Mr. W. E. Whitehead. It contains a complete record of all memorial features, and has a foreword by the late Sir .Arthur Currie. This book has been deposited in the College Library in a glass-faced cabinet on its own special table. It is to remain always open, with frequent changes of the exposed pages. The third feature included is a group of forty-four oak trees which form a border for the Men ' s Campus. These were planted and cared for largely through the instrumentality of the Horticultural Department, and were specially designed as a memorial to those who gave their lives in the cause. These trees were planted some years ago and are now well established. They nevertheless form a definite part of the War Memorial. The service of dedication took place, appropriately, on February 10th, 1934 — Founder ' s Day. A short memorial service was held in the Assembly Hall. Lt.-Col. Wilfrid Bovey then presented the Book of Remembrance to the College authorities for safe-keeping and unveiled the clock. His brief address, published herewith, recalled the sacrifices of those who served, and concluded with the formal act of dedication. Thus the War Memorial is an accomplished act, and some measure of Macdonald ' s appre- ciation of her sons and daughters has taken on a tangible and lasting form. 171 19 3 4 19 3 4 The Dedication Ceremony COLONEL BOVEVS ADDRESS WE are met here today to honour the men and women of Macdonald College who served in the Great War, to pay a special tribute to those who died that Canada might live. That War is long past now; to many of those who are here it is not even a memory, and it is hard to picture the days of 1914. Distant from the scene of conflict, the average youiig Canadian had no idea of the furious currents which were sweeping Europe into a maelstrom. The students of Macdonald, children of the soil of Canada, bred in great peaceful spaces where folk plough and sow and reap amid rain and sun and the song of birds, were far, far removed from those appalling events. What was it to them that Russian and Frenchman, Austrian, Slav and German were clutching at one another ' s throats? But, almost before we knew how, long before we knew why, Britain was involved. On the night of August 4th the sound of a far bugle reached these halls. From one end of Canada to the other re-echoed the call to arms; from one end of Canada to the other, youth replied. It has become the custom to think of the soldiers of these days as the reckless victims of a wicked system, blind sacrifices to a Moloch of steel and flame. Victims they were, sacrifices they were, but they were not unthinking and they were not blind. There was an ideal before the millions of English speech who ranged themselves together. They scarcely understood their own vision, for they were folk of simple minds; they felt it rather than saw it. They said, We shall fight for our country. but in truth they stood for the sacred things that country means. All that Magna Charta had snatched from the King, all that generations of freemen had held safe, all this was at stake. Chesterton puts into the mouth of Alfred words that express their thoughts: — To stoop a slave to a race of slaves To drink up infamy. No, brothers, by the rood, I think Death were a better ale to drink; And by all the stars of Christ that sink. The Danes shall drink with me. And so, one after the other, they girt themselves and went forth. It is fitting that record should be kept of their names, and, lest they be forgotten, they are set down in this book which I now hand over to the Chairman of the Library Committee of Macdonald College, that it maybe preserved in honour and in safety till in some far distant age it too shall return to dust. PRESENTATION OF BOOK And what of those who died ? Those who within the past few weeks have welcomed to their midst one whose name shall forever be dear here and throughout Canada. They have built for themselves a monument more lasting than bronze; they shall receive the perennial tribute of enduring recollection. To bear witness to that honour, intangible and invisible, there has been set in this hall a clock so that whoever looks upon it may think of those for whom time is no more, and may seek so to live as to merit such immortality. UNVEILING We dedicate these memorials to the Glory of God, desiring that they shall always call to remembrance those who gave themselves in service and the eternal principles for which they sacrificed their lives. 172 AGRICULTURE V ' ' ' ' ' l l ' Wm dji j B j|9|H H K tm ■ ' ■ Kt ' kii.

Progress is apparent in the tendency to finer specialization through- out all branches, and though warnings of the dangers of such practice are frequently proffered, the demands of prospective employment sources enforce closer confinement of an individual ' s field of studies. Recognition of Macdonald College as a research centre in diverse agricultural problems, and as an institution offering acceptable post-graduate training, is manifest by the increasing number of men resident at Macdonald who are registered in the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research. Though the graduating class averages less than twenty, twenty-eight post-grads., with representatives from each province of the Dominion, from the British Isles, the United States and the British West Indies, are at presen t registered at Macdonald College. Of these, ten are studying for a Ph.D. in either Chemistry. Entomology, Plant Pathology, Animal Parasitology, or Bacteriology, and the rest seek an M.Sc. among these and five other options. Social and athletic activities of the post-grads, have been somewhat lethargic this year, though some informal addresses by outstanding men have been much appreciated. Co-operation with, and invitation from, the undergraduate school has enabled post-grads, to participate in all local athletic and social functions, and has contributed much to the con- geniality of life at the College. 181 Q 2 O CQ Q : o O 5 . u S Si, u « u a - Q Z H U -a 182 HOUSEHOLD SCIENCE MISS B.

Dean of the School for Teachers 190 The School for Teachers Intermediate Class THE School for Teachers has partaken of a most active and successful year. Many of the students have become prominent figures around the College, taking leading parts in the two annual plays, and being outstanding in the Green and Gold Revue. Their posi- tions on the executives of the College organizations and clubs are numerous, and their talent for music and public speaking is well-known; their athletic prowess is also acknowledged. The Staff of the School for Teachers would be hard to equal. Their loyal co-operation with the students is an excellent thing, and an example which might well be followed by teachers throughout the province. The professors are in trend with the changing times, and give in- valuable assistance to the students. They are continually sowing new ideas which, should they fall upon good soil, should reap a plentiful harvest. The position of the teacher in the public schools is a serious one, and is far more respon- sible than is realized by most people. It is in the elementary schools that children ' s minds are formed, and here it is that the instructor may mould and shape at will. It is here also that the love of knowledge may be infused into the children ' s very beings, and a desire to travel to the utmost bounds of human thought become their uppermost wish. It is unfortunate that the course for teachers-in-training requires, at present, only one year of study. A two-year course would enable the students to make a much more intense investigation of methods and school management. Child psychology could be studied to a greater degree, and practice-work could be done on a much larger scale. All of this would, of course, do much to improve the technique and understanding of the teacher, and the schools throughout the province would benefit greatly. The development of the course for teachers-in-training at Macdonald College, since its inception twenty-six years ago, could be viewed with just pride by its founders. The past few years have shown the greatest progress. The students are now given two weeks ' practice-teach- ing in Macdonald High School, which is situated on the Campus — one week during the first term, and the second some time after Christmas. This period is spent in one class-room; the class-teacher is observed, her methods noted, and any new or good ideas carried away for future use. During this week ample opportunity is given for teaching, and the ability of the student may be fully determined. Occasional trips to Montreal, to teach in the city schools, familiarize them with the organization of large schools. Training in rural school work has been intensified this year, since so many intermediate teachers have taken positions in country districts. In future, the Elementary Course will be lengthened from five months to one year. Thus the standard of teaching in rural schools should be greatly improved in the next few years. In the past, men teachers have complained that they have not been properly equipped by the College to instruct in the primary grades. This knowledge is absolutely essential in the rural schools, so this year a special effort has been made to acquaint the men with the workings of the lower classes. It is hoped that the difficult task of handling the younger children will be facilitated for them by this knowledge. 191 OEAN LftlO-D H0N0(1.AR.Y PR.eSIOENT a. t 0. ST061E ICE-PR-eSIDENT B.e.

Waterfield Household Science K. Newsome Secretary R. Flood Treasurer R. Macdonald THE primary student organization at Macdonald is the Students ' Council. The link between authorities and students in a system of student government, it embodies the essential features of stability and responsibility. The two degree courses in Agriculture and Household Science have members occupying the major positions in the administrative work of the Council, as all other groups in the college attend for a maximum of only two years. The personnel of the Council, besides the officers mentioned above, includes Mr. Horsnall (Agriculture), Miss Baxter (B.H.S.), Miss Moodie (Administrators), Miss Young and Mr. Jousse (Teachers), and Miss Mendelson (Homemakers). That the Council is never allowed to be sleeping there below, is evidenced from the numerous activities over which it has entire control, and a greater number for which it is in- directly responsible. The administration of student activity funds places the Council in the position to regulate the expenditure on any one activity in such a manner that a balance is kept between the outlay for intellectual and physical pursuits. The weekly Failt-Ye Times has been continued, and it is hoped to improve the Annual greatly this year, whilst the production of a Macdonald Handbook is in progress. Dances of an extremely high calibre have been sponsored this year, and to the ordinary Saturday evening dances the college orchestra has made no small contribution. Sunday evening Sing-Songs have had a year of unparalleled popularity, and the founda- tion of a Glee Club has filled in a gap produced five years ago by the decease of the Philharmonic Society. The Political Science Club has been entertained throughout the year in its fortnightly meetings by many instructive and interesting lecturers. The expression of any opinion in these meetings is welcomed, and frequently the most heated controversies have raged over differences of opinion upon current affairs of international or general political interest. Contrasting with this, we have to mention the contribution in another sphere of the tennis courts and skating rink to unorganized sport. That Macdonald has a very large number of outside activities, considering the size of the student body, is at once evident, and it is a great compliment to the unquenchable energy of the students that of the many societies, clubs and groups existent, of which but a few are mentioned here, none are seen to languish. It can hardly be called an exaggeration to say that the smooth functioning of extra-curri- cular activities at Macdonald is in a large amount attributable to the welding influence of the Council in producing a harmonious entirety. 193 19 3 4 19 3 4 White Innis Hebert Pope Flood McKenzie Professor Hodgins Dunn Harrison The Failt-Ye Times Honorary Advisory Editor S.

Flood F. N. Pope Ruth McKenzie S. White THIS being the second year of publication of the Failt-Ye Times, it is possible to gain more accurate impression both of its function and the extent to which it is fulfilling expectations. That there is much room for improvement cannot be doubted, but a com- parison with the previous three-magazines-a-year period leaves no question that there is good reason for the existing order — a weekly Failt-Ye Times, and, in addition, an Annual. The policy of the paper throughout the year has been an example of the freedom of the press in the fullest sense of the term, its coltmms having been open to all. That the Times has been responsible for a greatly increased interest in all student activities is due to the care- ful dissemination of advance information prior to every event. The unbiased criticism of all student activities in the columns of this weekly paper provides an excellent criterion for judging their merits, and suggests many possible improvements. The frequent use that has been made of the Letters to the Editor column is an indi- cation of the existence of a body of student opinion which could not otherwise find a means of expression. Altogether there can be little doubt that the Failt-Ye Times is a useful institution, performing a necessary function in the life of the College. The only complaint that must be made is against the continued existence of the popular fallacy that the subject matter of the paper should be composed only by the board of editors, in order that another select group may offer destructive criticism. I 194 19 3 4 19 3 4 Hudston Shewell Macdonald Miles Dr. Brunt Waterfield Harvey Smith Johnson The Literary and Debating Society Honorary President Honorary Vice-President President Dr. H. D. Brunt Mr. A. R. Lockhart Denis Harvey Vice-Presidents Secretary-Treasurer Nora Miles Martha Johnson H. R. Hudston AT the beginning of the year the Literary and Debating Society was to a certain extent reorganized, with the division of the Society under the titles of the Players ' Club, under a play manager, Guy Shewell; the Debating Union, under a president, Basil Waterfield; and the Play Reading Club, under a manager, Bob McDonald. Each of them acted as a sub- sidiary society to the main one, the Lit. It remained to the parent society to coordinate their activities, and to provide other entertainment, musical evenings, lectiires and the like. The Players ' Club presented two plays, Outward Bound and The Fourth Wall, dtiring the course of the year, while the Inter-class Play Contest also came under its supervision. The Debating Union ' s programme was followed with lively interest. In the Fall Term two debates were arranged with the McGill LJnion, one in town, the other in the College Union. In both the talent of the Montreal men proved superior. The Play Reading Club held a very successful session, and was generally voted to have recei ved more support than ever before. Among other entertainments provided during the course of the year, the lecture by Mrs. A. E. Zimmern proved to be of great interest; and the Green and Gold Revue, under the able direction of Owen Smith, was generally voted to be an outstanding success. 195 Q Q = O w PC H u ■o c 196 The Green and Gold Revue Producer: Owen W. Smith Committee: G. Shewell; R. Flood; D.Harvey Musical Director Brad Walsh Scenery P. Sidaway Dance Director Miss T. Troughton H. Webb Costumes Marion Kinsman Lighting H. R. Hudston AN original revue is a difficult production, particularly when care is taken to prevent repetition of items included in earlier efforts. The producers have not the genius of a playwright as their mainstay; the number of performers involved precludes the re- striction of parts to a limited, outstanding few; and, in addition, the audience is familiar with a very high standard of professional revue production, due to the extension of the modern penchant for revues to the film. Moreover, in our own particular instance, we must cope with an ambi- tion to produce a finer revue than any of the other Green and Golds. While being a valuable stimulus, it also offers a handicap, in that the excellence of previous revues is invariably ex- aggerated with passage of time (and usually by the reporter), so that the audience subconsciously assumes at the start an anticipatory attitude which may be difficult to satisfy until some out- standing scene has dislodged the visionary appreciation of othei productions. The Green and Gold Revue of 1934 did not quite succeed in displacing this phantom, but whether it was actually inferior to any of our previous productions remains questionable. Current comment had it that on the whole the Revue was quite good, although paucity of point and weakness of subject matter were the source of a good deal of criticism of Act 1. Fortunately the emptiness of such scenes was relieved by the high standard of presentation technique which was an outstanding feature of the whole production. Most of the scenes were more finished than usual, the audience being very gratified with the smooth running of the show, and the low proportion of the technical crudities commonly associated with amateur stage productions. At intermission the expectancy of the audience had suffered considerable dampening, and appreciative comments bore a politely flaccid tang. The unfolding of Act II quickly dispersed all drowsy feelings, and really live enthusiasm predominated to the end, finding a climax in a most creditably arranged Finale. The chorus of this year ' s revue met with more than usual approval. It would be very diflicult indeed not to enthuse over the ability of the selection committee, and we certainly saw some clever dancing, but girls, where, oh, where was your usual pep ! Many have remarked, however, on the evidence of thorough training and the relative complexity of some of the dances. Miss Troughton is to be congratulated as chorus instructress. Miss Peggy Winslow, and supporting fairies, introduced an aesthetic touch, disporting themselves with pleasing elegance. Mr. Hudston ' s lighting effects in this scene were of particular merit. One of the most warmly received items was the vocal contribution of Mr. Jousse and his fellow banditti, and, in fact, the male chorus was very much appreciated throughout. A limited repertoire restricted encores to repetitions. Dinah found very good company that evening. The part of bandit chief seemingly opened several outlets for Hamish Dunn ' s energy and enthusiasm, which, however, seemed a little overdone as the coach continued lost in his rhetorical exhortations. Mr. Dunn should be congratulated on his dancing, and more parti- icularly on his partner, Sally, whose grace and charm found a number of receptive spots. The convivial ambassador, with captivating hiccough, kept his audience thoroughly amused, and contributed a large part to the success of the revue, in which he (Keith Savile) was ably supported by Savile Snr., and H. R. Hudston, as the mare . Others might well be mentioned did space permit, but the men who primarily earn our thanks and congratulations are the members of the committee — D. Harvey, G. E. Shewell and R. Flood, who were mainly re- sponsible for the scenario of the revue, and who contributed sterling services in other capacities; Mr. Hudston for his outstanding lighting effects; Pete Sidaway for invaluable scene painting, and of course the producer, Owen Smith. The orchestra, too, were much in form, and all other participants helped to present a jolly good show, and gave us an outstanding evening ' s entertainment. 197 Clouston Beauchamp Pay ton Humphreys Bovell Grant Logan Cooper The Macdonald College Athletic Association President: P. E. R. Bovell Vice-President: F.Cooper Secretary -Treasurer: W.Humphreys IN addition to its usual activity in the fiel d of sport, this Association has been instrumental in bringing about three important changes in policy this year. The first of these is the exclusion of all players on either of the College basketball teams from inter-class basketball. This move, while meeting with the disapproval of some, on the grounds that it lowered the standard of ball played in these inter-class games, will, no doubt, in a few years improve the status of the college team, in that promising individuals will be given more opportunity to play basketball. It also has the advantage that it provides exercise for a larger percentage of the student body. The second principal innovation is that arrangements have been made to have the amount in the compensation fund fixed at twelve hundred dollars. Thus no more payments need be made until it drops below this amount, which means that there will be an increase of ten percent, in the funds available for the operation of the Association. The third change is in the allotment of the fees paid by the men students for student activities, so that the Athletic Association will receive an additional twenty cents per capita. Progress has also been made in athletic endeavour, teams having been entered this year in inter-faculty rugby, basketball, hockey, swimming, track and assault-at-arms. The College has also been represented on McGill ' s Senior track, winter sports, harrier, and soccer teams. In addition to this the College has had a soccer and an English rugger team, both playing several exhibition games, as well as two teams in the Intermediate section of the Montreal Basketball League. As far as intramural activities are concerned, inter-class basketball, volleyball and soccer leagues have been run, an exhibition of boxing and wrestling was held in the fall, as well as the usual spring smoker, with a track meet, a swimming meet, a rink carnival, and a ski race to round off the year ' s programme. 198 19 3 4 19 3 4 Findlay Ayres Pay ton Innis Coopei Clements Grell Smythe Grant The Macdonald College Basketball Team Captain G. H. Findlav Manager E. Grant Coach Frank Sharpe THIS year ' s team has undoubtedly been one of the best that the College has turned out for quite some time. With a single exception, all the men were members of last year ' s team. The team was again entered in Section B of the Montreal Basketball League. Although to date it has only won three games in this league, all the games have been very close, being won or lost by a few points. The Greens were also entered in the newly-formed Intercollegiate Intermediate Exhibition League, consisting of McGill, University of Montreal, Loyola, Bishop ' s and Macdonald. Of the five games already played they have succ eeded in taking two. It is expected that next year the Greens will drop from the Montreal Basketball League and confine themselves to this loop, if satisfactory arrangements can be made. This year they lose three men by graduation, which will considerably weaken the squad, but with five of this year ' s team the prospects for next year appear good. Frank Sharpe coached again this year, and it is due to his untiring efforts that such a season has been possible. I =J I :=] 199 19 3 4 19 3 4 h Zinck Williams Macdonald Chaplin Mr. F. Sharpe Bush Bovell Humphreys Horsnall The Macdonald College Golds Basketball Team Captain: P. E. R. Bovell Manager: H. Horsnall Coach: Frank L. Sharpe A FURTHER advance in the realm of athletics was made by Macdonald last year, as the College was represented in the Montreal Basketball League by two teams instead of the usual one. This year the Golds were again entered in Section C of the league and, although pitted against far more experienced opponents, made a very good showing. After a rather ragged start, in which team-play was sadly lacking, the team improved rapidly, and gathered strength as the season progressed. Although not very successful in winning games, the Golds never- theless had the satisfaction of giving their opponents a good run for their money at all times. The climax of the season was a match with the Greens, who, as the senior College team, played in Section B of the Montreal Basketball League and also in the Intermediate Intercollegiate League. In this game the Golds took their more experienced opponents by surprise, and outplayed them for a good part of the game, holding a slight lead at half-time. From then on, however, the Greens held a decided ascendancy, and eventually emerged the winners by the slim margin of one point. It was a splendid game, and showed the two College teams to be very evenly matched. Altogether, the Golds have enjoyed a decidedly worthwhile season, and the formation of a second College team has been amply justified. The players are to be congratulated upon their steady improvement during the season, and much credit is due to Frank Sharpe for his expert coaching of the team. 200 19 3 4 19 3 4 Nixon Humphreys Templeton Zinck Cahusac Dingwall Bovell Flood Innis Dunn Cadden Cooper Horsnall The Macdonald College Association Football Team Captain Manager R. Flood H. Horsnall IT would be grossly untrue to suggest that the past soccer season was one of unparalleled success. Macdonald, despite four of her more experienced players being on the McGill Senior Intercollegiate team, fielded on several occasions an enthusiastic squad, though it was apparent that no amount of keenness could replace entirely an obvious lack of experience. The latter part of October usually ushers in the Macdonald soccer season, and as scheduled games we had one with Sun Life, the McGill Inter-faculty final, and the Boving cup games. It can only be said here that a decidedly premature arrival of snow made it impossible for any of those games to be played. This state of affairs leaves Macdonald in possession of the Inter- faculty soccer title, and Agriculture 35 as holders of the Boving Cup. Having been forced to reserve our energies this year, it is to be hoped that a particularly good season next year will more than make amends. 201 19 3 4 19 3 4 l ck riiatcher Bamell-Jones Pope Harvey Savile Dunn Cooper Chaplin Smith Shewell Cameron Waterfield (Mgr.)

Yolland, Esq. Captain Secretary-Treasurer Manager Guy Shewell Owen Smith Charles Chaplin DISAPPOINTMENT was the echo of the season. This was due not to any failure on the part of the team, which more than justified pre-season hopes, but first to the chaotic condition that the MacTier Cup fixture-hst assimied as the close of the season ap- proached, and secondly to the weather, which cheated the side out of a long-awaited trip to Queen ' s and Varsity. The early defeat which the team suffered at the hands of the Bank of Montreal served as a useful lesson, and everyone soon settled down, to defeat McGill 9-8 and Wanderers 31-11. the former game producing some really fine football after a weak beginning. The team suffered from injuries at this period of the season, but was able to regain its best form to draw 3-3 with the M.A.A.A. This was the finest achievement of the season, as it is the first time that the Club has not been beaten by them in the annual game. The season now drew to an unexpectedly early close, and we were only able to avenge our early defeat at the hands of the Bank by a score of 14-3 before the first snow fell. This is especially to be regretted, as we missed the fixture with Vickers, which would have decided the leaders in the League. Contradictory to form in previous seasons, the three-quarters were the stronger part of the team, the forwards suffering heavily from lack of weight. Besides this, the position of full back was never satisfactorily settled till the end of the season, and was always a cause of anxiety. Next season, which will be the 4th of Rugger at the College, our prospects are particularly bright, as few of this year ' s team will be leaving.  — I 1 =ZI 202 19 3 4 19 3-4.

H. Findlay W. B. Clements Frank Sharpe ANOTHER season has passed, not entirely successful from the point of view of winning games, but well worth the time and energ ' expended upon it. Few of our original team remained, and the places of those absent were filled with men who knew little about the game but were eager to learn. The team, when the Inter-faculty season opened, was far from polished, but performed exceptionally well considering their lack of experience. The annual Grads game showed the mettle of these men, as they took it handily, and they then proceeded to display their prowess in the Inter-faculty League. In the course of the season they won only two of their league games, but they gave a good account of themselves in all the rest. The game against Medicine was played at the Stadium under the flood-lights, and being a new experience for all but two of the squad, handicapped them considerably. This year we will lose by graduation many of our regulars, and Frank Sharpe will be hard- pressed to turn out a good squad next year. We only hope that the new men coming in will be experienced enough to form a good team, and to take the Inter-faculty. To the Coach and all the next year ' s squad we wish the best of luck. 203 19 3 4 WW 19 3 4 Dubrois (Coach) Snilner D. Macdonald McCaw Michaud Finn (Mgr.) Cook Gilker Howden Lawrence (Capt.) D y The Macdonald College Hockey Team Coach: A. Dubrois Captain: N. H. Lawrence Manager: B. J. Finn THE building up of a new team, with but two of last year ' s players returning, spoke for anything but a successful season. In reality we have had more success than was anti- cipated, together with an assurance of most of the players returning next season. All of the games played were exhibition, resulting in three wins and five losses. Our first game with Alpha Delta Phi of McGill came our way, followed by a second win against Lachine. The outstanding tilt of the season was a home and home series with Oka Agriculture College. Though the French students outplayed the Macdonald College six, the showing was very creditable on the part of our inexperienced players. It is hoped that this inter-college acquaint- ance will be renewed next year with even more enthusiasm and success. As yet we have one more game of the season to play, when we shall meet Commerce in the Inter-faculty championship. Appreciation must be accorded Armand Dubr ois for his arduous coaching in developing a team, which we are assured will be more successful next season. c 1 204 19 3 4 19 3 4 1. Mirriiiier Truax Miller Miss Heathcote Jack Beauchamp Brown E Rothney The Macdonald College Women s Athletic Association Hon. President Miss Heathcote President Estelle Beauchamp Secretary Isabel Rothney ' ice-President Hildegarde Brown Treasurer Louise Miller THIS year brings to a close one of the most successful seasons that the Athletic Association has ever known. Of all the sports at the college, basketball has, perhaps, attracted the most atten- tion. The formation of a House League and the trip to Bishop ' s undoubtedly stimulated activity along this line. Another sport which is becoming more and more popular is Badminton. Each year a ladder competition is drawn up to compete for the Badminton Challenge Cup, donated by the Athletic Association for individual competition. Other tournaments and matches have also been arranged, all of which tend to promote interest in this field. This year an attempt was made to revive Volleyball, with the result that several inter- class matches were played. As considerable interest was shown in this game, it is expected that next year ' s season will be longer and more active. The outstanding event of the swimming season was a very successful meet held shortly before Christmas. Throughout the year special attention has been given to non-swimmers, and also to those interested in life-saving. Hockey, unfortunately, has had a very short life this winter, the season ' s schedule con- sisting of only one game, in which the Teachers met Science, on the night of the Ice Carnival. An innovation in women ' s outdoor sports this year was the introduction of a ski race, an event which proved very popular and attracted a great deal of attention. The gym. demonstration given this year even exceeded the high standard of former years. Both in the inter-section and in the individual competition for the John L. Todd Shield and Medals, exceptional skill was shown, especially in the drills and apparatus work. On the whole, the Athletic Association can well afford to be proud of having successfully run so many activities, and can now look back with pleasure at the events of the year. 205 Barrett Wilson Gardiner Balmforth Jack McLellan Miss Heathcole Rothney Campbell Moodie Brown Gray The Macdonald College Women ' s Basketball Team % S a college sport, basketball has certainly gained popularity among the women students. ZA According to what has now become the custom, a House League was formed to XA. compete for the John L. Todd Gymnastic trophy. Seven teams entered — one from each of the sections in the School for Teachers, and the remaining four from Science. As neither B.H.S. ' 35 nor the Senior Ads. had enough players to produce a team of their own, they decided to form a mixed team. However, on March 19 this team was defeated in the final game of the Tournament by Sec. B, and the Consolation Tournament which was run at the same time was won by Sec. C. For the most part, the games of both tournaments were quick and evenly matched. Early in the season, the annual Old Girls ' game was played, and here the Mac team had little difficulty in proving their superiority over the visitors, who showed a decided lack of practice. On April 12th, the Teachers met Science in the final game of the year. As usual, this was undoubtedly the closest and quickest game of the whole season, and the Teachers are certainly to be congratulated on their victory. The two games between Macdonald and Bishop ' s are also remembered among the highlights of the basketball season. In both of these games Mac had the best of the play from the start, and had little difficulty in holding down the score of their opponents.

' 08 THE session 1933-34 has been one of the busiest in the annals of the Ciraduates ' Society. It has witnessed a steady growth in the activities of the Society, with a consequent increase in the importance of its position in University Hfe. In reviewing our year ' s work, we mention as most important the pubHcation of The McGill News. Its form and size have been maintained despite the financial strain incident to the slough of the depression. A description of the field covered by this magazine will be found on an adjacent page; but, in passing, we mention the enlargement of the number of items of University news under the heading A McGill Conspectus. Probably no other work of the Society is more appreciated by the young graduate than that of our Employment Bureau, through which a systematic effort is made to place him in a position where his education and ability can be most usefully employed. One hundred and twenty positions have been secured for graduates during the last twelve months, despite the difficulty of securing positions or employment of any sort during much of this time. Many undergraduates and graduates have listened to our programme of forty-two radio broadcasts, which have been conducted by the Society twice-weekly over Station CKAC, and which have served to explain the University and university life to the large circle that is covered by this station. Through a special broadcast, many people in Montreal, Canada and the United States, who could not attend the funeral of our late Principal, were enabled to hear a description of the ceremonies as they were taking place within the McGill grounds. This broadcast included a eulogy of Sir Arthur Currie and his life ' s work, delivered by Mr. R. C. Fet herst onhaugh . In Montreal, as in other cities of Canada and the United States, we have affiliated branch societies whose functions are to carry out the social activities which help to bind the graduates more closely to one another and to the University. All members of the Society resident in Montreal are members of the Montreal Branch Society, while all the women graduates are entitled to belong to a women ' s organization, known as the Alumna Society of McGill Uni- versity. The latter holds frequent meetings, often in the form of teas, followed by either a discussion or an address by a prominent speaker. Bridge teas and the dansants are also given. More serious work is being accomplished in raising funds for scholarships for women students at McGill. The Montreal Branch Society conducted its fifth Annual Alumni Smoker on the first of February, when more than five hundred McGill alumni were present. The Chancellor, Mr. E. W. Beatty, gave a masterly address, pointing the way which it is expected that McGill will follow in the future ; he also described pointedly the type of man which the Board of Governors expect to select as the next principal. During this session additional progress has been made on the project which the Graduates ' Society has been conducting, to build a g ' mnasium and a combined convocation concert hall and hockey rink. A reference to this work is made on a nearby page. Towards the end of the session the Society initiated and assisted in the organization of permanent officers for each of the graduating classes, so that the members of each of these classes might have a means of maintaining their interest in one another and in the University during the years to come. The Society maintains a complete list of all graduates, with ad- dresses and degrees, as well as incidental personal items, and these are at the service of each class whenever class functions are organized from time to time. With its many services to the University and the graduates in mind, it is not too much to say that each member of the graduating class will find it to his advantage and satisfaction to belo ng to the Socie tv and to support it i n its work. I I I I 221 w H H I — ( W X H 5 u 73 CO •a T3 C 3 O XI c o O 222 Let Us Build That Gymnasium BY H. M. JAQUAYS, M.Sc, ' 96 SOME thirty-seven years ago the writer had the good or bad fortune to deliver the Vale- dictory for his graduating class. For the information of those who are not familiar with this custom which formerly prevailed at McGill, it may be explained that the member of the class so chosen read his Valedictory at Convocation. This, it can readily be imagined, afforded an excellent opportunity for criticising all and sundry, giving advice to professors and undergraduates left behind, as well as bidding a fond adieu to university life. In this particular Valedictory, delivered at the graduation of the Science Class of 1896, after a passionate appeal to the undergraduates to support the University paper (which had a difficult struggle for existence in those days), the Students ' Club, the Literary and other Societies, reference was made to a gymnasium for the University in the following words: — You have also left to your care that delightful dream, that ideal gymnasium which for so long has been built in our imagination only. It is quite evident, therefore, that the gymnasium question was just as active at McGill in those days as it is now. For how long a time this agitation had continued, no one has accurate knowledge. Students previous to 1896 had used the Barnjum Gymnasium on the east side of University St., near Dorchester. An unattractive old place, expensive to operate because of the cost of the sawdust that it was necessary to scatter over the floor to soak up the water that came through the inefficient roof. Brought up under such conditions, the undergraduates realized then how sadly the University was in need of a suitable gymnasium. Well, nearly forty years have passed by, and the gymnasium remains built in our imagi- nation only. Classes have come and gone, and all have vociferously proclaimed that a gym- nasium is McGill ' s greatest need. Perhaps in the past the graduates of McGill have not made the proper effort; they may have been influenced by the fact that most buildings had been given to McGill by wealthy men. For many years it was largely a case of shaking the tree to have the fruit fall down, and possibly during these years the undergraduates and the graduates had the idea that if they agitated sufficiently for a gymnasium, one would be handed over to them by some benefactor. However, this has not been done, and it is useless to expect that men like Macdonald, Strathcona, Molson, and Redpath should for all time supply the wants of the University. They have presented and equipped the halls of learning, but no gymnasium has developed. Perhaps these buildings were obtained too easily, without that effort and sacrifice on the part of the graduates which alone can retain their interest in their University and enable them to feel that pride which conies from helping in a great work. Can it be that there has been a tendency for graduates to be negligent about the affairs of the University because of the munificence of a few men ? Be that as it may, the Graduates ' Society, anxious to do something tangible for the Uni- versity, approached Sir Arthur Currie some two years ago with the request that he should suggest how the graduates could be brought into more intimate contact with McGill by under- taking some work that was greatly needed by the University. Sir Arthur immediately said that he considered a gymnasium to be the greatest need at the present time. The Executive of the Graduates ' Society, after investigation, decided to undertake this work. Since this decision was made, conditions have not been suitable for the collection of funds, but much preliminary work has been done. A careful investigation has been made into the requirements — a task more onerous than had been anticipated. The work now has progressed so far that competitive plans will be developed in the near future, and after the plans have been decided on. when the time is considered opportune, an attempt to raise the funds necessary to carry (conlmucd on page 362) 223 The McGiU News ' Official Publication of the Graduates ' Society of McGill University EDITORIAL BOARD Dr. H.

' 05 I HAVE been asked to describe briefly for the benefit of readers of Old McGill, 1934 the purposes and policies of The McGill News. Now, with some understanding of the prayer that lies in an editor ' s heart when he asks a contributor to be brief. I hasten to give the essential facts. Founded fifteen years ago by the Graduates ' Society of McGill University, The McGill News , as its name implies, is tlie means of conveying to all members of the Society news of the University, of its achievements in scholarship and sport, news of other graduates, and news of a general nature in which graduates would naturally be interested. In addition, the magazine prints articles and illustrations on a range of subjects so varied that, bearing in mind the prayer that this article be brief, I shall not attempt to list them. For fifteen years this policy has been pursued, with various adaptations to meet particular needs, under a succession of distinguished editorial boards, and, until recently, under editorship of a peculiarly high order. Looking to the future, the magazine ' s development seems assured. Already it has attained a position unique in its particular field. No alumni publication in Canada is just like it. For the most part, they resemble one another like peas in a pod, but, just as McGill is unique among the Dominion ' s universities, so The McGill News is unique among alumni papers. Lest this statement be misunderstood, it should be explained that The News fills, or at least tries to fill, the dual role filled at many universities by distinct publications, one de- finitely a journal of news and facts, the other a magazine of culture and opinion. In producing The News every effort is made to combine these features in a manner acceptable to the graduate body, and to those other readers who, without university affiliations, find the magazine deserving of their support and consideration. No claim can be made that The News , ven- turing thus into a field with few precedents for its guidance, has avoided all the errors that an experiment of such a nature must involve, nor can it be claimed that all the problems of success- fully combining news and opinions have been solved. But it can be claimed that the experiment has achieved a measure of success, and that the earnest effort made to produce a magazine worth while has earned, from at least one other university, the tribute of emulation. So, confidently, with recognition of its limitations, but in the faith that improvement will continue in the future, The News looks forward to further years in the service of the Gradu- ates ' Society. All members receive the magazine four times a year. It is in the hope that mem- bership from the Class of 1934 will exceed that of all previous years that these lines are written. On our part, we shall try to see to it that The News is maintained as a magazine interesting to members of the Class, and worthy of their heritage as graduates of Old McGill. R. C. FETHERSTONHAUGH.

THE Contingent has completed almost a quarter century of usefulness, showing greater signs of vigour and enthusiasm among its constantly changing members as the years goon. During the past session the unit suffered a severe loss in the death of General Sir A. W. Currie, G.C.M.G., K.C.B., who had been its Honorary Colonel since the Great War, and the Contingent was greatly honoured in forming part of the escort to the gun-carriage at the funeral. Training this year began early in October, and when the recruiting ceased almost two hundred men had signed attestation papers. This is the largest number attested since the Armistice. This year instruction was carried out in Infantry and Signals Training. A record number of candidates for the War Office examinations were prepared for their certificate examin- ations. These candidates were fortimate in being able to attend a course of lectures given by Major D. Corrigal, D.S.O., M.C., P.P.C.L.I. Artillery and Engineer Training was also arranged specially for candidates. The same system of training was followed as in past years, and the Contingent was again indebted to the Canadian Grenadier Guards for the use of their Armoury and Rifle Range. Without a doubt much of the success during the past two years has been due to the ever-present co-operation and generous support of this unit. During the last twelve months two members have been granted commissions in the Guards. This has been the cause of much pride to the members of the Contingent. As in previous years, a week-end scheme was held early in the season, and this year the scheme took place in the vicinity of St. Andrew ' s East. On that occasion the unit was billeted in the Town Hall, and the officers at Lieut. R. G. Simpson ' s house. After the scheme the unit marched past Major-Gen. C. J. Armstrong, C.M.G., D.S.O., formerly Officer Commanding this Military District. This proved to be the last military appearance of General Armstrong, who shortly after was brought to Montreal severely ill, where he died early this year. The McGill unit was represented at his funeral. During the winter months a ski-platoon was organized for experimental purposes, and each Sunday went to St. Sauveur or Shawbridge for training, in which valuable lessons were learned. At the dedication of Hill 70, at St. Sauveur des Monts, to the memory of Sir Arthur Currie, the ski-platoon provided the Guard of Honour. This year the drum and bugle band was dropped, and the Contingent adopted a pipe band. This has proven a distinct success, and although the unit is not kilted as yet, the pipes have been an inspiration to all ranks. Several outstanding events have added to the popularity of the Contingent during the term, namely, the General Inspection on March 22nd, and the Annual Ball on April 7th. Throughout the year the Mess has been a popular rendezvous for all ranks. Competition between the companies of the Contingent for the various efficiency cups has been particularly keen during the past session. The awards have not been made yet, but it is anticipated that the decision as to the winner of the Inter-company and Inter-platoon trophies will prove a difficult matter. Musketry training has been carried on during the term, and a very successful match was held with Norwich University, at Northfield, Vermont. A team from that University also visited this city and fired a return match. The Contingent has gained a name for efficiency throughout the Dominion, and each cadet is striving to the utmost to keep the name of the McGill C O.T.C. ever high. All indications are that next year the efficiency of the Contingent will be kept at the same high level. 227 CO Pi W U o w H a -S ' c Si a.

There are two executives of the Society: The Athletic Board, which receives $10.00 of the compulsory fee, is in charge of all Athletics; and the Students ' Executive Council is in charge of activities of general interest to all the students. The President of the Students ' Society, who holds office for one year, is Chairman of the Executive Council. He is elected in the month of March by a ballot of all the members of the Society; the Vice-President is elected by and from the members of the Council. The Secretary- Treasurer is appointed by the Students ' Council for one year, and the Comptroller is appointed by the University upon the recommendation of the Council. Each Faculty Undergraduate Society elects in December one representative to the Executive Council, who holds office for one year from the 1st of January. The President of the McGill Union, elected in March for one year, and the Editor-in-Chief of the McGill Daily, are ex-officio members of the Executive Council, and their term of office is concurrent with that of the President. The women undergraduates are represented on the Students ' Executive Council by two members, one elected in December by ballot of the women undergraduates, and the President of the McGill Women ' s Union, who holds office for one year from the 1st of July. It is the duty of the Students ' Executive Council to supervise the activities of the Society and to control all funds contributed by the students to it. The activities of the students for which the Executive Council is responsible are as follows: McGill Annual McGill Dailv McGill Handbook McGill Union Students ' Directory Red and White Revue Players ' Club Debating Union Society Convocation Activities Scarlet Key Society Bureau of Appointments Musical Association Operatic and Choral Society Glee Club McGill Music Club McGill University Band Book Exchange McGill Orchestra 231 19 3 4 19 3 4 ia rntitlrDi tifs IfanatB nnjt itrinilri (Uprtifg -bg vittuv krh tnitii all PRESIDENT SEC.-TREAS.

Leathern THE McGill Book Exchange this year completes its sixth season as one of the most active and useful organizations on the Campus. During these days of financial stress the Exchange has proved itself to be a virtual boon to the student in the costly task of acquir- ing text-books. Books to the value of $1,700.00 changed hands through this medium. Business increased considerably this year, although the mid-term sale was small l ecause the students failed to bring in the required books. The shelves of the Exchange are filling up quickly with text-books now out of date. This unfortunate situation will constitute a problem for future Book Exchange executives, whose task it will be to dispose of these unsaleable books, and we hope that a practical solution may be found to take care of it. The majority of text-books sold are those used in the Faculty of Arts and Science and in the School of Commerce. The Exchange cannot effectively serve other faculties whose sessional terms vary from the normal. We note the wise procedure of the Medical undergraduates in operating a Medical Book Exchange, and trust that other faculties will do likewise. The Book Exchange is not a profit-making institution, and the services of the executive are gratuitous. The ten per cent commission that is deducted from all sales is necessary for the Students ' Executive Council to disburse such expenditures as room rental, printing of stationery, and other incidentals. After two years from the date of sale, unclaimed money is confiscated bv the Students ' Executive Council. 233 H.B.

S- Bunting A. M. Minnion - H. B. Hicks Elma Pcrrigard - S. A. Gittermaii - A. M. Thurston - J. A. Nolan - R. B. Haley E. P. Sidaway G. H. Fletcher In preparing for publication the thirty-seventh volume of Old McGill, the editors have borne in mind the fact that the Annua! constitutes the only permanent record of the extra-curricular achieve- ments of the undergraduates of McGill University, and consequently have made it their iirst endeavour to compile, with the aid of the student body, a faithful and comprehensive account of the past year ' s activities. At the same time, however, it has been realized that the value of the book as a personal possession and as a souvenir of McGill depends largely upon the form in which this basic material is presented. Accordingly a great deal of trouble has been taken with what might be called the trimmings of the Annual, — the page designs and other art work, the arrangement of the contents, and. last but not least, special features to relieve the almost unavoidable formalitv of the bcwk. In the first place, several changes have been made m the general plan of Old McGill. all with a view to greater unity and sim- plicity. The R.V.C. section, for instance, has been moved forward in order that the various sections of the Faculty of Arts and Science might form more of a unit. The sectional divisions, however, have been retained, owing to the existence of separate undergraduate bodies. Another innovation is the division of the Arts and Science seniors into two groups, the B.A. candidates and the B.Sc. candi- dates. A similar division exists in the R.V.C. section, and also in Engineering, where the seniors have been grouped according to then- choice of chemical, civil, electrical, mechanical, metallurg ical or mining engineering. Macdonald College, owing to the separate and autonomous nature of its student body, has been placed outside the order of faculties, and the section has been arranged within on the same plan as the hook as a whole. Also the C.O.T.C. has been re- moved from its somewhat illogical place among the sectional clubs and societies, and has been given a place by itself, as the division of military training. Finally, the Athletics section has been completely rearranged into six groups of more or less allied sports. Although by no means perfect, this grouping is at least an improvement upon the old order, which was simply a compromise between an alphabetical order and a group arrangement. In the design and art-work of Old McGill 1934, as in the general plan of the book, the aim of the editors has been a combina- tion of simplicity and unity. As an original and symbolic touch the colours employed on the title-pages of the various faculties and schools are approximations to the respective academic colours. In the case of the Faculty of Arts and Science, however, it has been found necessary to divide the Arts blue and the Science yellow between McGill College and Royal Victoria College. Of the seven special articles written for Old McGill 1934 by professors, graduates and students, we direct the reader ' s attention particularly to Professor Evans ' fascinating account of McGill in the late SO ' s and early 90 s. and to The Development of McGill under Sir Arthur Currie. which constitutes a unique memorial to our late Principal. This latter was written for the Annual by Mr. C. H. Peters, a graduate of McGill. Of the various other features included in the book, we single out as unusually unique the pictures of McGill ' s individual athletic champions and the portraits and biographical sketches of the team coaches. These two original fea- tures are the work of John Nolan, the Sports Editor. Finally, in an ilTort to increase the interest in, and hence the quality of the peren- nial Campus Life section, three prizes instead of the usual two were offered for the best photographs submitted. The winners were as follows —(1) C. W. Davis. Eng. ■31; (2) A. H. P. Cole. Eng. ' 35; C ' .) D, M. Burns. Arts ' 35. In conclusion, we wish to express our gratitude to those good friends who rendered such invaluable assistance to the Board in tht preparation of Old McGill 1934. First, we are most grateful to Lady Currie. who most graciously permitted the dedication of this volume to the memory of Sir Arthur Currie. and who also made possible the frontispiece of the book by very kindly lending us the original photograph. We are also greatly indebted to Professor Evans, Mr. Peters. Dr. Macmillan. Allison Walsh and others, who ccjntributed special articles. Otherswho have helped us, with informa- tion and advice, and in various other ways too numerous to mention, are Colonel Bovey. Mrs. McMurray, Mr. Matthews (the Registrar). Mr. Fletcher (the Secretary of the Council). Miss Heasley. Miss Carlton, Eric Sprenger, and. last but not least, the representative of I he engravers, Mr. W. J. Sutherland, without whose help this hook might never have appeared. To all these we render our most sincere 1 hanks. And now, dear reader.

Walsh M. W. Bloomf eld A. D. Styles SOMEWHAT extraordinary have been the events of the year, which the Daily, and the scribes of its contemporaries, have dealt with at length. Suffice it to say that the passing of Sir Arthur Williain Currie marked the loss of one of the best friends and champions that the Daily ever had. Though he did not often interfere with editorial policy, he checked the over-exuberance of youthful journalism when it appeared, and gave firm and friendly counsel to the erring. The Daily had close contact with the late Principal, which will be gravely missed in the future. The year 1933-34 marks in quite a satisfactory manner the publication of the twenty- third volume of the McGill Daily. During the first week of the session Howard A. Doig, then Editor-in-Chief, was called away from Montreal, and was therefore forced to relinquish his position. His place was filled by Robert A. C. Douglas, with Philip J. Gitnick as Managing Editor, H. A. L. Place as News Editor, and Frank Gorman as Sports Editor. Features were ably handled by Henry Finkel, who felt compelled to resign in February, owing to pressure of studies, and the Exchanges were looked after by R. Friedman. Night Editors were Morton Bloomfield, Mac Ransom, Art Styles, J. Nolan, Allison Walsh, and Brodie Hicks, with Maurice Garmaise and I. Hyams controlling the Sports Desk. The opening of the college year marked the influx of a large number of would-be reporters, the majority of whom drifted away by Christmas, leaving, however, quite an efficient and industrious staff of news-gatherers. Tlie life of the Daily depends upon its reporters, and it is their ingenuity and interest which provides news. Technically the Daily staff have done well this year, and with a little more sparkle and vigour the Daily should do even better in the coming year. Features were contributed by N. A. Levitsky (Cosmopolitana), H. Perelmuter, (Panegyri- cus), Claude Dubuc lOur Gallic N ' eighbours), Ernest Carter and Rachmiel Levine (The Book- shelf), Walter Alford (The Theatre), Bert Hamilton (Detours to Parnassus), and Henry Finkel (in sundry roles). Also The Dirt Col was edited by persons unknown ... an office secret. In general the McGill Daily enjoyed an unusually tranquil year. It does not aspire to be infallible, but it does at least attempt to be a little more than a notice board, an achievement which it seems to have attained. The Daily is the students ' paper, and it is ready at all times to receive their efforts, which might pave the way to a more diversified and polished news sheet. The publication was restricted to five days a week this year as well as last, due to financial stringencies. It is to be hoped, however, that the Daily will be able to resume its normal issue next year, and gain the heights of even greater success. 237 19 3 4 238 The Debating Union Society Honorary President Col, Wilfrid Bovey Secretary Jolin MacLeish President R. Wilson Becket Senior Treasurer G.H.Fletcher ' ice-President . rlhur Marshall Junior Treasurer Melbourne Doig THE fifty-fourth year of the McGill Debating Union Society, oldest student organization on the Campus, has been perhaps the busiest, and, on the whole, one of the most successful seasons in the history of the Society. Faced with a much decreased appropriation from the Students ' Council, due to economic conditions, the Society was yet able to participate in no less than eleven Intercollegiate contests, as well as presenting the annual Prize Night and a house debate. Faced also with the loss of a number of outstanding Intercollegiate debaters, the Executive of the Society set out definitely to train new men to fill the gaps, considering it of less importance that the occasional debate should be lost than that fresh supplies of speakers should be seasoned in inter-university competition, and a general standard of good debating upheld. It was the hope of the Executive to open the season with an Intercollegiate fixture, but when arrangements for such could not be made, a house debate in Mock Parliament style was pre- sented in October, with Kenneth Baker as Prime Minister, and Arthur Marshall leading the Opposition. After an animated discussion on the motion to establish a dictatorship in Canada, the Government was sustained by a narrow margin. The first Intercollegiate debating of the season saw the Debating Union re-opening relations with the Macdonald College Literary and Debating Society. Two debates were held in the latter part of November, one a Mock Parliament at McGill, the other in formal debate style at Macdonald. In the first, John McLeish and Philip Vineberg, representing McGill, defeated a Government motion, introduced by Macdonald, to amalgamate the Canadian railway systems; while at Macdonald the McGill team of Henry Schafhausen and Max Hendrick was also successful. In December, when it appeared that financial difificulties would prevent a projected contest with Harvard University, the Executive decided to attempt the experiment of charging an ad- mission price for an Intercollegiate debate. The success of the event, which was staged the night before the Harvard-McGill hockey game, more than justified the hazards involved. The McGill debaters, Melbourne Doig and Edmund Collard, defeated the Harvard team before a large audience, which made the debate a decided success. In January the Debating Union suffered its first loss when a team from Queen ' s University defeated William Hasler and John Kerr on the question of Germany as a menace to world peace. The debate was keenly contested, however, and was well attended. The same night Melbourne Doig and Arthur Marshall of McGill debated on opposite sides of a University of Toronto Mock Parliament, the subject being Delendus est DeValera. Two weeks later, Toronto debaters divided in a McGill Mock Parliament on the resolution: Resolved, that the C.C.F. platform offers the greatest possibilities of benefit to the Canadian citizen. This debate, in which the McGill Labour Club were the guests of the Debating L ' nion, had as guest-speaker, leading the Government, Mr. William Irvine, M.P. (Wetaskiwin). The largest audience of the season witnessed a heated session of the Mock Parliament, in which Mr. Irvine led his C.C.F. cohorts to a decisive victory. This year McGill participated in a series of radio debates sponsored by the Canadian Radio Commission to determine an Intercollegiate radio debating champion for Canada. In the first of these, held in January, John McLeish and Eli Kelloway of McGill, speaking in Montreal, defeated a team of Dalhousie University debaters, who spoke from Halifax. Two weeks later Wilson Becket and Kenneth Baker gained the decision from a University of New Brunswick team. These two wins gave McGill the championship of the Eastern (English) section, but in the semi-finals for the Canadian championship, which our men now entered, George Broderick and Phil Vineberg lost to a team of Western University debaters. Toward the end of February, the Prize Night was held, at which the Talbot-Papineau Cup, Reford Cup, and Trophy for Arts inter-class debating, were competed for. At the same time a McGill team of John McLeish and Eli Kelloway travelled to Kingston to debate with Queen ' s University the question of lotteries in Canada. 239 The Glee Club President Director Manager Ralph M. Carmichael Louis C. Theobald W. Stanley Archibald THIS year has seen a marked increase in the activities of the Glee Club, following its revival last year under Louis Theobald, Med. ' 36, who is again the music director. The membership jumped to over forty voices, nearly double last year ' s enrollment. Re- hearsals started early in the fall, and the first informal appearance of the Club was at one of the meetings of the Young People ' s Society of Dominion Douglas Church, on December 3rd. The first formal appearance of the Glee Club was at the Annual Graduates ' Smoker on February 1st. Shortly after, on the 9th, they appeared as guests of the Engineering Institute of Canada, at the concluding smoker of its annual convention in the Windsor Hotel. On each occasion the Club presented a brief programme and then led the audience in college songs. On February 13th, the Club made its annual appearance at the Musical Association Concert. In preparation for this concert a quartette was formed under the direction of Ralph M. Car- michael. It was composed of A. Willard, Arts ' 38, R. Carmichael, Eng. ' 35, W. McCubbin, Grad. School, and S. Archibald, Arts ' 36. Its offerings were received enthusiastically by the Later in the session, on March 23rd. the Club travelled to Plattsburg, N.Y., where they presented a concert before the student body of the Plattsburg State Normal School. This was the major concert of the year. The Glee Club provides an excellent opportunity for men who like to sing to gather in good song and good fellowship. The success and enthusiasm of the Club this year, along with the untiring efforts of the music director, augur well for the fortune of next year ' s organization. 240 Allen Sprinklf Gibbon Hart?ough Quinlan Lang In absf-niia jnyci Lewis Van Vliet Stewart The Junior Prom Committee Chairman Arts Commerce Dentistry Clarence Quinlan (,La vj Ralph Allen John Gibbon Jonathan ' an Vliet Secretary John Sprinkle (Architecture) Engineering Howard Lang Medicine William Hartsough M.S.P.E. Joyce Lewis R.V.C. Helen Stewart THE Junior Prom officially launched the McGill social season of 1933-34. Shortly after the commencement of the academic year, the Junior Prom Committee, composed of nine representatives elected from the various Junior years of the University, was convened and sub-committees appointed. Before, between, and after lectures the committee unceasingly toiled with one object paramount in the minds of the members thereof: to make this year ' s Prom an occasion in the fullest sense of the term. When the night of the dance arrived, elaborate decorations had been arranged : faculty banners and University flags adorned the walls, balloons and serpentines hung from the ceiling, and a huge McGill martlet was suspended in the centre of the Piazza of the Mount Royal Hotel. During supper Babe Wallace and his dusky companions provided spectacular entertainment. The Prom was scheduled for early in the year, but on account of the sad loss of our revered Principal it was postponed until just before Christmas. Owing to conflicting social entertainments at the Christmas season the number of students attending the Prom was not as great as usual, but the decorations, entertainment and music, combined with the Christmas spirit of good fellowship, marked the occasion as one not soon to be forgotten. The success of the evening was fittingly consummated by those who graciously conferred their patronage upon the dance, among whom were Colonel Bovey, Mrs. Vaughan, Dean and Mrs. Brown, and Dean and Mrs. Walsh. 241 Mr. Norns President University Band Linton Carmichael The Musical Association Louis C. Theobald F. W. Shaw Secretary Operatic and Choral Society Ralph Carmichael Ralph D. Linton THE Musical Association, fluctuating as any organization, has had a very successful year. For the first time, it has been a financial success, through the receipts of the concert and the Glee Club. The orchestra was definitely dropped this year, owing to the scarcity of musicians on the campus; the Conservatorium orchestra, however, was open to any who wished to continue in this field. The Operatic and Choral Society did not stage a production this year. The Students ' Council voted to postpone activities for a year, owing to straitened financial conditions. It was disappointing to many — but next year they will be back again. The Band was strong in numbers and in music. Under the inspiring leadership of Fred Shaw the members of the Band worked hard, and acquitted themselves very creditably. The Glee Club is one of the strongest musical groups on the campus this season. Ralph Carmichael encouraged men to join, and by the time of our first appearance we had forty-five members. The Association wishes to thank Dean MacKay sincerely for the interest he has taken in it this year. The Musical Association concert this year was a huge success both artistically and financially. For the first time, we charged admission to cover expenses. The group members were: the Band, the Glee Club, and the Conservatorium Orchestra. Soloists this year were Jack Waud, pianist, and Mary Friedman, soprano. Both were very much appreciated. A new event on the programme was the introduction of popular rhythm, as played by William V. Gordon and his band. The innovation proved very popular with the student audi- ence, and helped to make the programme varied. As our guest-artist this year, we were especially fortunate in having Mary Helen Weeks, harpist, a graduate of Eastman School of Music. This added the final touch to a very successful entertainment. 242 19 3 4 19 3 4 Dean Mackay Harhert Calder In absentia: McCuaig, Selkirk.

Townsend and Jack Waud IT HAS been the policy of the McGill Operatic and Choral Society, ever since its inception, to produce at least one major operetta each year, and to participate to a lesser degree in the activities of the Musical Association and the Red and White Revue. In the past, various successful musical shows have been given, among which were Tom Jones, lolanthe , H.M.S. Pinafore, The Pirates of Penzance and The Yeomen of the Guard. This last named operetta, put on in December, 1932, while an artistic success, was, owing to the very high cost of production and the prevailing economic conditions, a rather bad financial failure. As a consequence, the present executive has been faced with great difficulties in attempting to carry on the precedent set by the Society in previous years. Gilbert and Sullivan ' s operetta, Patience, was selected for this year ' s production, but when the budget failed to pass the Students ' Council the Mikado was chosen instead, and an effort to re-establish our credit with the Council by means of private subscriptions was made. Rehearsals were actually started early in December, but once again the financial support was insufficient, and the project was abandoned. It was felt that it was too late in the season to start any other plans, so that nothing further was attempted. It is to be hoped that next year more support will be forthcoming, and that the Society will be able to take its place among the active campus organizations once again. 243 19 3 4 19 3 4 Leathern Miller The Players ' Club President 1st Vice-President 2nd Vice-President Dr. C.

Grier Margaret Miller THIS year the Players ' Club began its activities with an experiment in the form of a production during the summer. The Romantic Age. by A. A. Milne, was presented in Victoria Hall, Westmount, on June 1st , and in the Little Theatre, Ottawa, on June 6th. The innovation was an unqualified success from all points of view and did much to aid the Club ' s regular productions. The first major production of the season was Patrick Hamilton ' s satiric murder mystery, Rope. This was given in Moyse Hall on December 14th, 15th and 16th, and in The Little Theatre, Ottawa, on December 19th. This production gained enthusiastic comment from all who saw it, including His Excellency the Governor-General, Honorary Patron of the Dominion Drama Festival. Considered by all as the climax of an unusually successful year, the presentation of Noel Coward ' s brilliant comedy, Hay Fever, took place in February. The reception given to the two performances led to the request for a repeat performance, but this could not be arranged. All three presentations this year were successful on the financial side also, and a sum of approximately two hundred dollars was handed over to the Students ' Council. The other activities of the Club consisted of weekly studio lectures by professors and leading men in the field of drama ; of groups for discussion of all the phases of play-production; and of the regular routine business meetings of the year. Under the capable direction of the Chairman, the Workshop Department proved more than ever before its vital importance to the Club. It presented three productions, allot which were invaluable in giving training to the members and in forming a hunting ground for the major productions.

Its object is the wel- coming and entertainment of visitors to the University. It also has charge of ushering at the Stadium, and provides the personnel to handle the crowds at other athletic meets as required. The Society membership is limited to thirty-five. Twenty-nine of this number are elected by the various faculties which they represent. The remaining six are appointed by the Society as representatives of the Athletic Clubs. Similar organizations exist in most of the larger American Universities, and the Scarlet Key performs a real service, in the course of the year, to McGill and to her visitors. GROUP A MEMBERS r A. L.

Smaill Secretary John J. McGill Treasurer Donald MacLennan G. II. Fletcher THE House Committee faced the season of 1933-34 with many forebodings; everywhere there seemed to be a scarcity of the coin of the reahn and an accompanying lack of enthusiasm; people generally were advocating a curtailment of expense, and thus of activities. However, it was felt that in just such times as these the Union should endeavour to play a more and more important role in undergraduate activities. Accordingly, the Com- mittee ' planned quite an ambitious programme, and to date the student body has responded in a most gratifying manner— patronizing all social events and co-oparating at every opportunity. The revenue returns from the Tuck Shop and Cafeteria have been considerably below the level of peak years, but the attendance and interest in Union affairs has been most satisfactory. The Union was primarily designed to be a club of which every male student of McGill is a member, and the Committee has adopted the policy that the financial aspect must be considered as of secondary importance. At the same time, however, many economies have been practised this season, as long as they have not interfered with the proper functioning of the building. The Union is one of the principal centres of University life — the headquarters of practically all undergraduate clubs and societies, and. most important of all, it gives to the students the opportunity of meeting one another on a common stamping-ground, in the friendly atmosphere of their own club. To accomplish this purpose, the Union is provided with a ball-room, a billiard-room, a lounge and reading-room equipped with the best periodicals, a music-room, a cafeteria, a grill-room and a Tuck Shop. It provides the Daily, the Players ' Club, the Red and White Revue, the Annual Board, the Book Exchange, the Students ' Executive Council and the Athletic Board with permanent offices, and it also supplies all student clubs and organizations with a place in which to hold their meetings and carry on their business. At the beginning of the year, the annual Pep Rally, or Freshman Smoker, was held in the ball-rcom. This function was primarily intended to furnish the freshmen with an opportunity of getting acquainted with the various coaches and campus leaders. The newcomers were also taught the college songs and yells, and were introduced for the first time to college atmosphere. The Smoker was shortly followed by the second annual Freshman Prom, at which all first year students were guests of the Union. This event proved very popular, as it gave the blushing freshettes an opportunity to meet the innocent (but ever egotistical) freshmen. The House Committee also held two Union Informals, with the view of both raising money for other activities and of bringing the students of all the various classes and faculties together. It might be worthy of mention that these Informals were run at a very nominal charge and proved successful beyond the Committee ' s greatest expectations. The ball-room, ever available to undergraduate or graduate activities, was also the scene of several other social undertakings during the current year. Several Mock Parliaments were held in the ball-room, and the speakers were always greeted by large, appreciative audiences. The Montreal Branch of the McGill Graduates ' Society held their Annual Smoker in the building, and a large number of past and present students were on hand to hear undergrads of yester-years recall their college days. The McGill Gymnastic Club and a number of stars from local clubs helped to round out a very enjoyable evening. The Boxing and Wrestling Clubs held their College Championship bouts in the ball-room, and the gladiators ably proved to their ardent admirers that brawn as well as brain is developed in the University. The billiard-room has been well patronized again this year, and a keenly contested Snooker tournament was held. Bridge and Ping-Pong were introduced to the Union this year, and both have proven very popular. In fact, many of the former cue artists are now staunch supporters of Culbertson, while a Ping-Pong championship tournament attracted athletes from all branches of college sport. All in all, the Union has fulfilled its purpose as the centre of college life. Financially it has not swelled its coffers, but socially it has once again played a leading part in the extra- curricular activit ies of the University and has more than justified its raison d ' etre. 249 Q H I— ( CO W I— I Z X H Sa: a - £ •s o •?2 - S •5 f . a; 250 The University Band Musical Director Bandmaster Manager Librai ' ian Assistant Manager Mr. Harry Norris Frederick W. B. Shaw E. Clarence McCoy William V. Gordon Kenneth G. MacMillan THE session of 1933-34 proved a very successful one for the University Band. Although at the end of last year losses owing to graduation were somewhat greater than usual, the season ' s turnout of new men raised the membership to about forty. The Band fills an important need in campus life, and lends a distinctly collegiate atmosphere on all occasions of its appearance. Although the members met for the first rehearsal on October 2nd, there was a full turnout at the McGill-Varsity game on October 7th, at which the Band performed very creditably, it was said. The organization played, as usual, at all intercollegiate football games at the Molson Stadium, and, in addition, plaved at the Thanksgiving Day Exhibition game with the Montreal Football Club. On October 14th the Band made the trip to Queen ' s with the Rugby team, and were very courteously received by the Queen ' s Band and students. The two bands marched together at the head of a large student parade, both to and from the game. That evening most of the members marched with all available, dateless, blushing Queen ' s co-eds to a dafice in the Gymnasium, where a marvellous time was had by all. At the McGill-Queen ' s game at McGill there was the best turnout of the year, there being forty-two members present. On that occasion the Band was ably supported by the student rooters, who sang merrily to the tune of Who ' s Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf? Let ' s All Sing Like the Birdies Sing, and others. Following the Rugby season the Band began to work on concert music. As the concert was postponed, there was considerably more time for rehearsal, and finally on February 13th the organization gave what has been acclaimed by many to be its best performance. Most of the success of this presentation, as well as the others, is due to Mr. Harry Norris, the Musical Director. To him the members of the Band are deeply indebted, both for their musical training and for his tireless patience. Activities during the latter part of the season consisted of playing at the Yale and Varsity hockey games, and at some of the play-off games in the City Senior Group. The Band this year will continue its policy of conducting a class for beginners. The only requirement for these men is that they have some knowledge of time and of reading music. Last season ' s class brought forth some promising musicians, and a similar class is expected to thrive this Spring. The Students ' Council awards a special M to all bandsmen who have attended seven- eighths of all practices and performances during the season. At the Annual Banquet, to be held sometime during the Spring, the winners of these awards will be announced. 251 Q w X H _3 O o 252 The Year in Retrospect By ALLISON A. M. WALSH THE year of 1933-34 at McGill commenced auspiciously with the laying of the corner- stone of the new Neurological Building by His Excellency, the Governor-General, on October (Sth, the same day as the Fall Convocation. This building, one of the foremost of its kind in the world, marks a new epoch in the brilliant history of McGill ' s Medical Faculty. The colourful ceremony was attended by a d istinguished gathering of governors of the university and representatives of the city, prov- inces, and sister universities. Not long after this, however, came the illness and death of our beloved Principal, Sir Arthur Currie, which cast a pall over everything at McGill, and from which we have not yet re- covered. During his illness the whole college was in suspense for some weeks, most activities being held in abeyance pending a change in his condition. When the great military and edu- cational leader finally succumbed, gloom descended over the whole university, and for some weeks nothing took place. The student body attended his funeral on December 5th almost to a man, to pay tribute to him who had been a friend to them all, yet set an example of dignity and uprightness which all strive to emulate but few attain. A committee was appointed later in the year to select a successor, but as yet no report has been made. Academic work soon resumed its accustomed trend, and so eventually did student activi- ties, but seemingly less enthusiastically than heretofore. The year was singularly devoid of important events. Fewer lecturers of note spoke here this year than ever before, though this is in no way intended in disparagement of those the students were privileged to hear. The Somerville lecturer this year was G. H. Parker, of Harvard University, who spoke on The Cellular Transmission of Substances, especially Neurohumors. The Abbe Lemaitre returned again, but those who had heard his brilliant lecture last year were disappointed to find that this time his lecture was a technical one not intended for the layman. The Due de Rignano dealt with Italian politics before a large student audience in Moyse Hall, and Mr. J. S. Woodsworth, the C.C.F. leader, spoke at the Union and the Arts LJndergraduate Society banquet. There was also an interesting series of lectures sponsored by the National Council of Education in the High School of Montreal at which Dr. Zimmern. Norman Angell, Bertram Thomas and others spoke. One of the outstanding hopeful trends of the year was the improved financial standing of leading Campus organizations — the Daily, the Revue and the Players ' Club. The Revue staged a musical comedy, Bad to Verse, and the latter put on two successful plays, Rope and Hay Fever, and was widely acclaimed for selecting plays with box office appeal rather than experiments in the art of the drama. Unfortunately, the Operatic and Choral Society were unable to put on a show this year, but it is hoped that they will return to the fold of active campus entertainment organizations next year. The Players ' Club also organized a series of studio lectures as an innovation which was very successful. Another notable trend was the increased student interest in campus affairs. A quorum was obtained without difficulty for the Students ' Society Meeting, and the voting in the elec- tions was the highest in years, despite the fact that there was no outstanding issue to arouse enthusiasm. Among innovations at McGill this year was the Pit, co-operative student restaurant opened in Strathcona Hall, which has had meteoric success in its first year of exist- ence in providing cheap meals and a sociable meeting-place between lectures for students so inclined. The year was marked by the unregretted demise of the Black Sheep. The Alarm Clock continued to publish, and had a successful year. It seems destined to take a permanent place among college publications. Most noteworthy, however, was the commencement of an Arts Undergraduate Magazine. It turned out a very creditable first issue, and should be successful next year, now that a start has been made.

Nicholls, B.A. Vice-President Secretary Lapin R. Foo te A. C. Corcoran, B.A. 1AST year the Chapter inaugurated a new plan by which it was hoped to justify, more than ever, its existence as something more than a pure honour medical society. It was _V decided at that time, if financial assistance from the graduate and undergraduate members were forthcoming, to sponsor lectures on subjects of medical interest, to be given by scientists from other parts of the continent. Such assistance was given, and several excellent addresses were arranged, which were open not only to the members of the Society, but also to the student body, and to all medical practitioners. Such was the success of the venture that the Society decided to continue along the same lines again this year. Financial assistance was given to the Medical Department of the Faculty of Medicine in securing Dr. Barger, of the University of Edinburgh, early in October, who gave a very enjoyable lecture on Ergot and Ergotism, a subject on which he is a recognized authority. The Society also collaborated with the Medico-Chirurgical Society of Montreal in obtaining Dr. Clyde E. Keeler, of Harvard University and the Bussey Institute of Boston, Mass., who gave a very instructive address on Heredity in Relation to Medical Practice on January 5th. At the time of writing two others have been invited to address the Society — Dr. Rosario Fontaine, the medico-legal expert of Montreal, and Dr. Walter C. Alvarez, of the Mayo Clinic, Rochester. Minn., the latter of whom will talk on Nervous Indigestion. Both speakers have wide reputations. The Chapter feels that by these activities it is upholding the principles and ideals which it stands for better than in any other way, and, given the support it has received in the past, will continue with them in the future. 254 19 3-4. 1 9 3 - p-p- Professor Lloyd Lalhe Cohen Professor Wynne-Edwards Howard The Biological Society Honorary President Professor F. C. Lloyd Hon. ' ice-President Prof. V. C. Wynne-Edwards Vice-President Grant Lathe President Arthur Cohen Secretary Alma Howard THE Biological Society was founded in 1931. Its purpose is to provide an opportunity for the students who are interested in the study of biology to meet together in order to improve their knowledge of the science by discussion, and to add to it by coming into closer contact with their Professor. The Society uses a room in the Biological Building once every two weeks. A definite procedure is observed at the meetings. A member of the Society reads a paper on some subject of biological interest. The reading of the paper is followed by a discussion in which the students and the staff take part. One outside meeting was held just before Christmas. Professor Lloyd, the Honorary President of the Society, gave an able and interesting lecture on insectivorous plants. The lecture was illustrated with coloured slides and motion pictures. The preparation, without any doubt, involved much time and labour. The Society is greatly indebted to Professor Lloyd for the privilege of hearing this lecture, and feels flattered that such a busy man should take time to address the organization. It is felt that the general success of the Society in being of real value to its members is due, to a very large extent, to the interest shown in it by the teaching staffs of the Departments of Botany and Zoology ' . It is hoped that the example of the staffs of these departments will be followed by the students. The Society enters its third year of existence with a feeling of security. Its prospects for expansion are bright, its financial position is sound, and its executive has the fullest confidence in the future.

Cette annee, la plupart des reunions du Cercle ont pris la forme de discussions sur des sujets d ' actualite; une question est soulevee par un des membres, puis les autres expriment leurs opinions et discutent la question. Ce mode d ' entretien n ' ayant pas un caractere formel, favorise I ' echange des idees, et ainsi aide materiellement la connaissance de la langue frangaise telle qu ' elle doit etre parlee. II faut signaler surtout deux voyageurs qui ont fait profiter le Cercle de leurs experiences. M. le Professeur d ' Hauteserve a montre des vues d ' Hawaii et de Tahiti, tandis que George Owen dans un discours a donne des lumieres sur les conditions en France et sur la vie Parisienne. Les reunions ont eu lieu cette annee, comme les annees precedentes, chez un professeur ou un autre membre du Cercle, et etaient a la fois instructives et interessantes. La Societe Fran- gaise a ete I ' hotesse du Cercle a I ' occasion de la reunion annuelle de ces deux clubs, et le Cercle remercie de tout coeur ces demoiselles pour leur bon acceuil. Le Cercle a le tres grand plaisir de remercier cordialement tous ceux qui ont contribue au succes du club cette annee, et particulierement les membres du Departement des Langues Romanes qui lui ont donne I ' appui si necessaire a ce succes.

Steacie Secretary-Treasurer N. V. Tessier Chairman of the Papers Committee S. G. Mason THE Chemical Industry Club was founded in the fall of 1923. Originally the membership was limited to Engineering undergraduates, but it has since been extended to include all students interested in chemistry. The object of the Club is to establish a means of acquainting its members with existing chemical industries and processes by actually seeing them in operation, an experience impossible to obtain within the narrow confines of the class-room or laboratory. To attain this end, the Club meets twice a month, every second meeting taking the form of a trip to some industrial plant. At the alternate meetings speakers are secured to give informal talks on subjects concerning chemical industry. The informal nature of these meetings, at which smoking is permitted and refreshments served, contributes largely to their success. It is the custom to hold the annual election of officers at the first meeting of the year, the vice-president of the retiring executive becoming automatically president of the succeeding one. During the current session the members have had the pleasure of visiting the Canada and Dominion Sugar Refineries Limited, and are looking forward to a visit to the Frosst Chemical Supply Company. The executive are at present discussing a visit to the Explosives Division of the Canadian Industries Limited, at Beloeil, to be held after the final examinations in May. This trip was undertaken last year in conjunction with Queen ' s University, and proved very instructive and interesting. Many addresses were delivered at the regular meetings, among the outstanding being The Ammonia System of Compounds, by Mr. Edward Holmes; The Refining of Sugar, bv Mr. C. F. Bardoff; and The Prediction of Pulp Fibre Quality by Light Absorption, by the chairman of the Papers Committee, Mr. Stanley G. Mason. 257 19 3 4 19 3 4 Shepherd Lewis Dr. Ev The Chess Club Honorary President President Dr. A. S. Eve Carlos A. Hull Secretary League Representative John H. Shepherd Alfred H. Lewis WHETHER it is the depression which is keeping the students at home nights, or just the swing of the pendulum back to a saner and quieter Hfe, it is difficult to say; but in any event the game of chess has benefitted. This year the McGill Chess Club has had an all-time record membership of thirty enthusiasts. Owing to the size of the Club, it was deemed both possible and advisable to enter a team in both the B and C divisions of the Montreal Chess League. Although the schedules have not yet been completed, the B team is in middle place and the C team is leading its section. A club get-together for those who are non-team men was arranged with the Sun Life Chess Club and it proved a very enjoyable event. Eight of the Sun Life participants were of the fair sex, and after the match was over the ladies served refreshments, and the evening closed with dancing. The annual Professors-Students Match was held at the Faculty Club, where the pedagogues severely trounced the students. (They usually do, one way or another. ) But they then made amends by treating them royally the rest of the evening and on into the night. The Club feels certain that this year ' s success gives promise for the future, and that no matter whether kingdoms rise or fall, and men and gods are stalemated, you will always be able to see some callow youths pause for a moment to wipe away the cobwebs from their already stubbled chins as they feverishly whisper — Checkmate!

V. Christie Vice-President Secretary G. E. Sarault G. R. Duncan THE Electrical Club was organized with a view to providing a means of keeping its members in touch with the more practical side of the profession. To this end, trips to various industrial plants have been arranged. Usually luncheons are held beforehand, at which an official of the plant to be inspected outlines the operations to be viewed. It has been gener- ally admitted that this is the best way in which to obtain knowledge of production processes and applications of electrical power. The Club furthers the interests of its members in other directions. An employment com- mittee has been established, the purpose of which is to keep a summer jo b registry for the use of the third year members. An employment campaign for the graduating class has also been organized, in conjunction with the Engineering Faculty. The membership includes both the third and fourth years of the Electrical Department. 259 Iftsl ft ftSs I Hamilton Bloom field Lylle The English Literature Society Honorary President Prof. G. V. Latham President M. W. Bloomfield V ' ice-Presidents R. M. Hamilton Secretary-Treasurer J. A. Nolan Nancy Lj ' tle THE English Literature Society was founded seven years ago, with the primary object of encouraging and fostering interest in EngHsh Literature, an aim which the present executive kept in mind during the 1933-34 session. Membership in the Society is open to all students at McGill. and in consequence students from all faculties are enrolled as active members. Meetings of the Society are held bi-monthly; and at these a paper is usually presented by some guest-speaker, on a subject of general interest to students of English. Following this the meeting is thrown open for discussion, thus affording those present an excellent opportunity of obtaining a more thorough understanding of the subject in hand. The 1933-34 session proved a particularly active one, both from the point of view of the number of meetings held and of the way in which these meetings were attended. Among the varied topics dealt with at meetings held during the session were: The Phil- osopher Looks at the Theatre , Modern Poetry, The Effect Of Court Life on 17th Century Literature, The Modern Russian Short Story, The Communal Ballad, The Short Stories of Robert Louis Stevenson, D.H.Lawrence and Gerard Manley Hopkins. The speakers in- cluded Professor G. W. Latham, Professor A. S.Noad and Professor H.G.Filesof the Department of English; Dr. Chas. W. Hendel, Jr., Head of the Department of Philosophy; Miss G. L. Craig, Miss B. Ferneyhough, and Messrs Clayton Atto, Stanford Reid, W. Afford and P. Beatts. Seeing that the students were interested mostly in contemporary literature, the greater number of meetings were devoted to recent authors and movements; yet the past was not neglected. The University courses give little opportunity to consider this side of literature, hence the Society endeavours to fill the gap. 260 19 3 4 19 3 4 W, M. Tait Morgan H. Tait Schafhau iii Sweeney Germania (The German Club) Hon. President: H. Schafhausen Executive: W. M. Tait; Miss R. Tait; Miss A. Sweeney; F.Morgan GERMANIA, the German Club of McGill University, completed a four-year period of activity on the campus with a successful term, which promises well for the future. Certain innovations were introduced, the first and most important being the new name, Germania. Since the object of this Club is the improvement of one ' s knowledge of the German language, customs and institutions, it was thought advisable to give the Club a name similar to those by which societies of a kindred nature are designated in Germany. At an early date it was decided that the meetings should consist ahernately of lectures on topics of current interest, given by competent people, and of Kommersabends , informal meetings of a typically German character, at which German songs are sung collectively and individually; a short address being sometimes delivered by a guest-speaker, and the evening ' s entertainment being terminated by dancing. The object of these cheerful gatherings is to give the beginners the opportunity to exercise their increasing vocabulary with the assistance of those who are more advanced. The enthusiasm of those beginners who really made an effort to use whatever store of knowledge was at their command proved the efficacy of this system. The Club was fortunate in having the co-operation of some extremely capable guest- speakers. Herr Muller-Hickler, manager of the North German Lloyd in Montreal; Herr Schafhausen, Vice-Consul of Germany; Mr. Fred Fuller; and Mr. Henry Schafhausen, Jr., addressed the Club very ably dtoring the year. The Kommersabends were held on the premises of the well-appointed Teutonia Club, 1177 Mountain Street, Montreal. 2G1 19 3 4 19 3 4 Professor Adair Hon. President Hon. Vice-President President Howard Harrington Reid Kerr McLeish The Historical Club Professor E. R. Adair, T. P. Howard Stanford Reid M.A. Vice-President J. McLeish Secretary J. Ken- Treasurer C. F. Harrington THE lines along which the McGill Historical Club is conducted are becoming almost traditional, when we consider that this organization has been in existence since 1897. The policy of a limited membership is still in effect, and meetings are, as in the past, held at homes placed at the Club s disposal by members, past and present, professors and friends. Meetings have been held approximately once a month, and topics of general interest, largely from fields of contemporary and recent history, have been discussed. The Club has been fortunate this year in having as members several men in post-graduate and honour work, who have taken a keen interest in the meetings and papers, and contributed largely to the success of the year. The practice of having a meeting in conjunction with the R.V.C. Historical Club was revived this year, when both societies met for dinner at the Queen ' s Hotel, the guest of honour being Professor Arnold Toynbee, the authority on questions pertaining to the new Turkey and the near East. There is no doubt that societies of this nature have a definite place in connection with the life of the University, as they provide a rendezvous for students with common interests to meet and exchange their views, thresh out their problems, and also to gain a wider outlook, which follows more naturally upon discussion of the subject by a group than upon the formal expression of a single individual ' s opinion. The executive feel, however, that there is room for more members, as the limit has not yet been reached this year, and they extend an invitation to all history students and any others that are interested to come to the meetings and join up. 262 19 3- 19 3 4 Stote De Pierro Johnson Reid The Inter- Varsity Christian Fellowship President W. Stanford Reid Secretary-Treasurer P. Raymond Stote Vice-President Miss Rita DePierro Adviser Arnold Johnson IT WILL have been noticed by many students at McGill that the name of the Evangehcal Christian Union has been changed to the Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship. This has been deemed advisable so as to bring the Union definitely into line with the national Fellowship of which it has always been a part, as well as with the Inter- Varsity Fellowships of Great Britain, New Zealand and Australia. The Fellowship is composed of students who are united in the conviction that ultimate Truth is to be found only in a vital experience of the Risen, Living Christ, and that without the indwelling Christ, God can never be known. As He Himself said: No man cometh unto the Father but by Me. Though the name has been changed, the two-fold purpose of the Fellowship has not. It is: (a) To witness to the Lord Jesus Christ as Saviour and God and to seek to lead others to a personal faith in Him; ib) to deepen the spiritual life of members and strengthen them in a life of faith by the study of the Bible and by prayer. The college year which is just drawing to a close has been the busiest and best in the history of the Fellowship. A weekly Bible Study Group for women and two Groups for men, and a brief daily meeting for prayer, have been the regular activities. The annual regional conference was held this year in October, the Dominion General Secretaries, Miss Catherine Nicoll and Dr. Arthur Hill, being present. Other open meetings also took place from time to time. The Fellowship again wishes to thank the authorities in Divinity Hall and the Diocesan College for the privilege of using rooms in their buildings. I zzi 1 ZZl 263 19 3-4. 19 3 4. Gross Vice-President The Junior Debating League President Ben Schecter Clarence Gross Secretary- Allan Anderson y LTHOUGH few meetings were held, the activities of the society have been moderately ZA successful. The membership was small, but this did not detract from the quality of the xA. speeches heard at the assemblies which, circumstances permitting, took place every second Monday in the McGill Union. The season began on October 24th, when both new and old members of the League competed in the annual Bovey Shield Contest. Fourteen speakers rounded out a well-balanced programme, the subject of which was Resolved that the Present Departure from Democratic Government is to be deplored. Either side of the argument could be upheld, the majority choosing the negative. The winner of the Shield was Sydney Friedman, while Allan Anderson was adjudged second best. Two weeks later a debate, Resolved that the Results of Scientific Investigation have Furthered Human Happiness, was the feature of the afternoon. The decision was rendered in favour of the affirmative, upheld by Solomon Levites and Allan Anderson. John Starkey and Charles Lapitsky constituted the negative. A Mock Parliament was called later in the year, and proved both interesting and successful. The Government, under the leadership of Lewis Poch and Ted Piper, waged a verbal battle with the Opposition, headed by Charles Lapitsky, on the resolution, Resolved that Canada ' s Diplomatic Recognition of Soviet Russia is Commendable. The Government was ousted by a narrow vote. The League ' s participation in the Montreal Debating League was but partially fortunate, two debates being lost and the third won. Competing in this series of debates were: Sydney Friedman, Ben Schecter, Alfred Pick, Clarence Gross and Allan Anderson. I — 1 1 =1 264 19 3- 19 3 4 Gibbard ' ice-President Reynolds Sampson The Labour Club President Delbert Clarke R. G. Sampson Secretary H. A. Gibbard THE Labour Club is an educational, rather than a propagandist, organization of university students interested in the study of socialistic principles. It boasts no personal prejudices, but instead proposes to approach the problems of modern civilization, and of Canada in particular, from a critical and objective point of view. With this in mind, the Execut ive has attempted, in the organization of meetings, to draw on speakers from different walks of life — men who would appeal to the multifarious points of view of the liberal element of the campus. Among the most prominent of the speakers were two Canadian Rhodes Scholars, Mr. David Lewis, and Professor Charles Lightbody of St. Lawrence University, New York. Among its other activities, the Club sponsored a public debate on the subject of Fascism, during the Christmas vacation; and participated in a session of the Mock Parliament, in support of the C.C.F., when Wm. Irvine, M.P., was the principal speaker. The Club has continued the publication of its monthly magazine, the Alarm Clock, under the editorship of Lloyd Reynolds. It has featured articles on current social and economic problems, and has given expression to various shades of opinion. A series of articles dealing with the future of certain professions and their functions and organization in a collectivist state has figured prominently in its pages. A certain space in every issue has been given to literature. Students have shown different degrees of interest in the activities of the Club at different times since its inception in 1925. If the Club accomplishes no more among the students than to awaken an interest in the serious problems facing present day society, it will have done good work.

Goldenberg Advisory Committee Cohen Philip Vineberg Rebecca Ein Harry Cramer Hyman Perelmuter Isadore Dubin THIS year has seen the revival and reorganization of the Maccabaean Circle of McGill University. The society was first founded over twenty-five years ago, but in 1932, owing to lack of interest, meetings were of necessity suspended. The object of the Maccabaean Circle may be said to be three-fold: to act as a bond of union between the Jewish students at the University, to further a study of Hebrew culture, and to act as the representative body of the Jewish students on the campus. Meetings are held every second or third Sunday afternoon in the McGill Union, and take the form of debates,discussions, and lectures by prominent outsiders or by members of the UniversityFaculty. A representative of the Maccabaean Circle was sent as a Montreal delegate to the Canadian Jewish Congress held in Toronto this year. The chief social event of the Circle took the form of an informal dance held in the Union on March 7th. There have been some preliminary plans for an organization of University clubs for Jewish students all over Canada. These clubs would have a common ideal, and would have intellectual relationship with each other — such as debating, etc. Among the speakers for the year were Mr. S. W. Jacobs, M.P., Rabbi Zlotnick, and Professors Huskins and Adair. Musical entertainment was provided at many of the meetings. This has been a successful year for the Maccabaean Circle, and ambitious plans for a course of extensive education are on foot for the coming year. 1 — I 1 ZH 266 19 3 4 19 3 4 Tebbe Professor Armstrong Grimsdale The Masonic Club President Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer Honorary President A. T. Brown G. B. B. Buffam L. R. McCurdy Professor H. F. Armstrong Arts Representative Medical Representative Engineering Representative McCurdy A. J. Ostle S. Tebbe H. H. Grimsdale THE purpose of the McGill University Masonic Club is to bring together all Masons in the University, students, teaching staff and employees, to know each other, to stimulate their interest and growth in Freemasonry, to encourage regular attendance at Lodge, and thereby keep student members in touch with the craft while at College. There are over one hundred Freemasons connected on full time with the University. The active membership of the Club is seventy-five. Supper meetings are held monthly, and some prominent member of the Order is invited to give an address on a Masonic subject. The average attendance at these m.eetings is twenty-five. Occasionally a paper is given by a student member. In February, the Club celebrated its first ten years ' activity by visiting Mount Royal Lodge, No. 32, Q.R., where the major items on the program were given by members of the Club. Two members of this Lodge, on the teaching staff, conceived the idea of the Masonic Club in 1922. It was organized during the session 1922-23, and its activities began in the Fall of 1923. Since that time many prominent Professors have held the office of Honorary President; and addresses have been given by numerous outstanding members of the Order, including two Grand Masters of Quebec. This year the Masonic Club suffered a great loss, in common with the rest of the University, through the death of Sir Arthur Currie, who was a Freemason of high rank. His manifest interest in the Club was always an inspiration to its members and officers. The University Lodge, No. 84, Q.R., which is composed of University graduates, is sponsor to the Club. Student Masons are invited to regard it as their Home Lodge while at McGill. 267 19 3 4 19 3 4 Professor McKergow Honorary- President President Gildea Ingham The Mechanical Club Prof. CM. McKergow C. P. Sturdee Vice-President Secretary -Treasurer Sturdee J. H. Ingham W. F. P. Gildea THE Mechanical Club is an organization in the Faculty of Engineering whose purpose it is to afford its members the opportunity of visiting industrial plants, under the manage- ment ' s competent guidance, and there observing the practical applications of the theories studied in classes. Meetings are held also during the year, at which papers of interest are presented by members of the Club, and general business transacted. A member of the Faculty in the Department of Mechanical Engineering acts as Honorary President and general adviser of the Club. Owing to the pressure of work, only two trips were made this year. In November the Club visited the C.P.S.S. Duchess of Bedford. ' Some fifty men availed themselves of the op- portunity presented of inspecting closely the workings of a modern liner. In February an instructive trip was made through the Notre Dame Street plant of the Dominion Rubber Company, which possesses one of the most recent and up-to-date boiler installations on the continent. The various methods used in the development of rubber products, from the lowly garden hose to the ultra-modern rubber bathing suit, were followed through with keen interest. The industrial engineers were particularly interested in thetask- and-bonus system of fixing wages of the employees. At a meeting in December Mr. William Latham gave a very comprehensive outline of hand-mining methods in a paper entitled Placer Mining. The speaker illustrated his remarks by means of photographs, diagrams and lantern slides. I =] 1 n 268 Professor McBride Thompson Boright Professor Sproule The Mining and Metallurgical Society Hon. Presidents: Prof. W. G. McBride and Prof. G. Sproule President: R. K. Boright Vice-President: R. Thompson Treasurer: T. R. Clarke THE Society has enjoyed an unusually active year. A number of papers were read by prominent mining and metallurgical engineers on a wide range of subjects. The speakers were from widely separated parts of the country and their talks rendered the more interesting by the diversity of viewpoint so engendered. A group of 25 members chartered a bus and made a tour of inspection of the Canadian Copper Refineries Ltd. and the adjoining wire factory. The social side of life was not neglected, and the annual banquet, held in the fall, proved the usual success, the many reminiscences (all true) being, if anything, over par value. The Montreal branch of the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy extended its hospi- tality to members of the Society even more generously than in the past. A standing invitation to attend all meetings was given, and in consequence the Society was privileged to hear many interesting and valuable lectures. In addition to this, all members were invited to the first annual Ladies ' Night ' where the relative merits of extreme youth and of experience were put to the test. A year can never pass without numerous questions arising. The answers to the following have not yet been found: Is the story H. B. H. tells true? Who is the third year man who was shocked at the banquet? Does Mr. know about that boy Brock? In what way does D.G.H. resemble C.W.D. ? And, most pressing of all: Who has the president ' s hat and tie? In spite of a most successful year the following remain sources of regret : Lectures in a certain subject; that any man should phone England at six a.m.; that S.G.C. should attempt to poison a member of the executive at the Plumbers ' Ball; that the Society should lose eight brilliant men through graduation. 2Gy 19 3 4 19 3 4 HorwrHxi Jones Lovt ' lace Curtis Dr. Hatcher Angel Woolfrey The Newfoundland Club Honorary President President Vice-President Dr. W.

Vatcher ON October 29th, 1919, a group of Newfoundland students met in Strathcona Hall and organized a McGill-Newfoundland Club. Its primary aims were: to bring together the Newfoundlanders at McGill; to foster love of the homeland; and to promote the in- terests of McGill University in Newfoundland. That the Club has succeeded at least in the last of these aims is apparent by the large number of Newfoundlanders who register at McGill each year. In the Nucleus of the Empire Beyond the Seas, Old McGill is widely known and esteemed. The Club commenced its activities early in the season, and from the beginning demonstrated that it was to have a full and vigorous programme for the year. The first event of the Club was a Smoker, which was addressed by Dr. Wilfred Templeman on the subject The Newfound- land Fisheries. The second meeting was featured by an item of singular interest, namely, the presentation of papers on the R oyal Commission ' s Report, by Dr. Templeman and James Horwood, the President. During the winter a skating party was held at the Coliseum, followed by a dance in the Pit. The activities of the Club were closed by a most successful annual banquet at the Queen ' s Hotel. The bond of union between McGill and Newfoundland was strengthened during the past season by a mutual exchange of College papers, including the presentation of a 1933 McGill Annual to the Memorial College. 270 Mamchur Carpenter Father Cooney Chaplain President First Vice-President Second Vice-President Secretary Assistant-Secretary Treasurer Mullaly Broderick Quinn The Newman Club Rev.

Carpenter Councillors Elizabeth Power Eileen Mullaly George Broderick Kenneth McNamee Brendan O ' Connor Charles Wayland THE object of the Newman Club is to foster the spiritual, intellectual and social activities of the Catholic students at McGill; to act as a bond of union to all these students, and to promote the general interests of the University. In accord with these general objectives, the Newman Club this year, in the fifth term of its existence, has followed the best traditions of previous years, and has broadened considerably its sphere of activities. As in previous years, general meetings have been held on the first Sunday of each month, these being preceded by Mass celebrated in the Lady Chapel of Congress Hall. Prominent speakers, lay and religious, addressed the members on each occasion. A significant innovation made this year has been the introduction of a special Mass on the third Sunday of each month. Another departure has been a course on Medical-Legal Jurisprudence and Ethics, kindly made available to all interested members of the Club by Dr. B. A. Conroy, an eminent Montreal physician. The Annual Ball, held on February 2nd in the Mount Royal Hotel, was an outstanding success, both socially and financially. Among other socials held were two informal dances and teas for the ladies. To charity the Club made this year the largest contribution in its history, raising a sum of $240 for the Catholic Charities. The Club also made important contributions to the development of the Canadian Province of the Federation of Catholic College Clubs, and was represented at the first convention since the organization of the Province, which was held in Toronto in November, 1933. The Annual Retreat, one of the most important features of the Club ' s program, was conducted this year by Rev. Fr. W. X. Bryan, S.J., of Loyola College. 271 I Di. Francis May cock McDonald Insert; Sir Andrew Macphail Nicholls President Vice-President The Osier Society Honorary President P. R. Macdonald J. V.V. Nicholls Sir Andrew Macphail Secretary-Treasurer Reporter W. d ' A. Maycock P. K. Condit THE Osier Society was founded in 1921 by a group of medical students, to perpetuate the memory of Sir William Osier by the reading of papers and the discussion of topics re- flecting his ideals of a liberal medical education. Four meetings are held during the academic year, at each of which two papers are read by the undergraduate members. An annual dinner is held in the spring, at which some prominent member of the medical profession speaks on a subject related to the history- of medicine. The innovation, made last year, of holding meetings in the Osier Library in the Medical Building instead of in the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, has been continued, and so far three meetings have been held there. This arrangement is far more convenient, for any books required for reference during the reading and discussion of papers are at hand. The annual dinner was held on March the seventeenth. Professor W. C. Alvarez of the Mayo Clinic was the guest of honotir, and he spoke on Folk-lore and Medicine.

W. Hendel Dr. R. D. MacLennan Mary Aikman Beatrice Klineberg John McCabe THE Philosophical Society is now thirty-one years of age, and is among the oldest of the campus organizations. The year 1933- ' 34, the thirty-second year of its existence, has been characterized by a more complete support by the student body as a whole. The attendance at meetings has increased steadily, and the Society has been glad to welcome many outsiders who attended with amazing regularity. The aim or purpose of the Society is to establish in the bi-monthly symposiums an informal exchange of ideas on various subjects. The students are encouraged to give their opinions freely, and this year the discussions have been heated and general. The executive has attempted to follow a definite plan for selecting topics, based on the experience of the last half of 1933. This season began with the yearly discussion of What Is Philosophy? , and progressed with first a series of Humanistic symposiums, and later several meetings dealing with Aesthetics. One ven. ' satisfactory feature of the programme was the abundance of capable speakers who so competently introduced the subjects. The interest shown by the club members in the different topics would seem to prove the scheme successful. It was a pleasure to welcome to the Society, this year. Dr. R. D. MacLennan, professor of Greek philosophy, from Edinburgh. In his capacity as one of the advisory committee he has given much valuable advice to the executive, and has, as well, made generous contributions to the symposiums. To Dr. Hendel the Society wishes to express its gratitude; to him it owes its continued success throughout the year, for without his unfailing co-operation and most timely aid, it would have been impossible to carry out many of its endeavours. r 1 273 Schafhausen Dobson Honorary Secretary Executive Hasler Howard Perrigard Haythorne Professor MacDermot The Pit ' Honorary President Henrv M. Schafhausen Prof. ' T. W. L. MacDermot Elma Perrigard Howard Pope Manager-Secretary Murray G. Brooks Alma Howard George V. Haythorne William Hasler Janet Dobson IN the Fall of 1933 a number of students, realizing the need of a cooperative students ' restaurant at McGill, met to discuss plans for its formation. They succeeded in securing the interest of a number of friends of the University, the Trustees of Strathcona Hall, who had sufficient confidence in the plan to provide the necessary capital. The result was — The Pit, the first organization of its kind at a Canadian university. In the comparatively short time since then Pitting has become a campus byword, and each day sees hundreds of students going there for a meal, a rendezvous, or simply a cup of coffee. Whatever doubts there may have been, either as to the need for such an organization or its chance for survival, have been dispelled by the experience of the past months. In addition to providing the student body with meat and drink at literally cost price, The Pit has adhered strictly to its policy of employing part-time student labour wherever possible. Thus it has been the means of providing more than fifteen students with board throughout the session, and many others over shorter periods. The profits are paid out in dividend form to meal-ticket holders at the end of each month. Meal-tickets have been so popular that at the time of writing more than $1000.00 worth have been sold. It is not contended that the path has always been smooth, or that no difficulties have arisen; but there is reason to believe that students want a place which is theirs, where both sexes may meet in a wholesome, pleasant atmosphere, and where the students ' wants and pockets are the prime considerations. While The Pit adheres to this policy, there is scant cause for worry. 274 19 3 4 19 3 4: Dr. Hemmeon Vineberg Dr. Leacock Hasler Bloomfield Dr. Day The Political Economy Club Hon. President Hon. Vice-Presidents Dr. Leacock President W. J. Hasler T TT Vice-President M. Boxer Dr. Hemmeon Secretary P. F. Vineberg Dr. Day Treasurer A. I. Bloomfield THE Political Economy Club has now attained its majority, having flourished for twenty- one years on the Campus. Its star has brightened as it has grown older, and each new year has added to its reputation. The Club holds regular meetings on certain Thursday evenings, in the smoking room of the Arts Building. At these meetings prepared speeches or papers are given by two students, and then, after refreshments have been served, the subject is discussed informally. In this way students can supplement their class-room and text-book knowledge with ideas on its application to contemporary problems. PROGRAMME OF SUBJECTS AND SPEAKERS, 1933-34 A Central Bank for Canada. — A. Styles and W. T. Shute. The Future of Democratic Government. — M. Boxer and P. F. Vineberg. The Attempt of the I ' .S.A. to conquer the Depression. — E. H. Clark and S. E. Bren- house. Public Finance in Canada. — H. K. Crabtree and D. Lusher. Has Germany put the Clock Back? — J. B. RoUit and W. J. Hasler. Progress made so far towards Recovery. — G. M. Rountree and A. I. Bloomfield. Thus the subjects discussed have been of a truly representative nature, and have included international problems as well as national, political and economic. The meetings have always been well attended by men students, graduates and members of the staff. The undergraduate members in particular have benefitted from the opportunity to discuss current questions with the older and wiser members of the Club. 1. o 4. 5. 6. 275 19 3- 19 3 4 Craig Honorary President President Grant Dr. Howes The Radio Association Dr. F. S. Howes William R. Wilson ' ice-President Secretary-Treasurer John A. Grant Irving Burman THE McGill Radio Association was started in 1922, and since that time has operated an amateur experimental station. The present station is situated hi a corner of the third year Electrical Engineering laboratory. It is licensed under the call VE2CP. The equipment owned by the Association has been added to and rebuilt by the members many times since the station was first put into operation. This year a rebuilding campaign was started, and much new equipment was obtained, and the existing equipment was entirely rebuilt. Next term it is hoped to put a telephone transmitter into operation also, with the trans- mitting tubes now owned by the Association. The members were very fortunate in obtaining a new short wave superheterodyne receiver. Much of the success of the organization this year is due to the close co-operation of the Electrical Engineering department. The Association held code classes three times a week for new members, the instructors being the older members of the club. In February many new members passed the Government code test and obtained their certificates for Proficiency in Amateur Radio. Bona Fide messages from the students were sent, free of charge, to any part of the con- tinent. Much valuable experience was gained by the new men in this work, which will be of aid to them in obtaining summer employment. The Radio Association ofifers not only a training in the International Code, but also a means of obtaining practical experience in communication problems. 276 Mussen Sproule Colonel Starke MacFarlane Herring The Rifle Association Hon. President Lieut.-Col. Robert Starke, V.D. President G. A. Mussen Secretary R, M. MacFarlane Vice-President and Team Captain G. A. Herring Treasurer W. K. Sproule THE McGill Rifle Association was organized in 1903, and since then has been continuously active, except for the period of the War. The Association has won the Intercollegiate trophy eight times since 1907, when the cup was first presented. The Association is for all men students of the University, and is a strictly civilian organi- zation. The Lee-Enfield service rifle, with aperture back-sights, is used, and shooting is carried on at two, five and six hundred yard ranges. Shoots are held at the Pointe-aux-Trembles Rifle Ranges on Sundays and convenient Saturday afternoons. Marking of the targets is done by members of the Association themselves, who find that a little exercise, coupled with a day in the open air (very), is an excellent appetizer for the lunch that they (usually) bring with them. Members reach the ranges through the courtesy of those who bring their own cars with them, to whom our sincerest thanks are due. Shooting is carried on until the cold weather makes the use of the ranges impossible. Usually prizes are given for the highest scores in the Intercollegiate competition, and one or two spoon matches are held during the season. This year, however, an unusually early winter, coupled with a late start, prevented the carrying out of the regular program. Arrangements are already being made to ensure that nothing will prevent an early start next year, so that the Association may expect a very successful 1934-35 season. 277 Whitehorne Dr. Dawson MacKinnon MacMillan Mamchur Ross Aikman The Sociological Society Honorary President Dr. C. A. Dawson President Stephen W. Mamchur Committee Marjorie MacKinnon Vice-President Mary Aikman Sonnette Ross Secretary-Treasurer Kenneth MacMillan Gordon Whitehorne THE endeavour in the program of the Sociological Society this year has been to arrange meetings which would be of definite interest to undergraduates studying Sociology, without at the same time vitiating the interest of graduates in Sociological theory and studies of a more advanced nature. The general plan has been, therefore, to carry on meetings in an informal manner, putting emphasis on discussion and contributions from all those present to any subject under consideration. The first meeting constituted a debate on the necessity of institutionalized religion as a means of social control. Messrs Delbert Clark, Samuel Brenhouse, Kenneth MacMillan and Malcolm Ransom were the main speakers. The next meeting considered the relation of Socio- logical theory to social practice. Miss Esther Kerry led this discussion, in which prominent social welfare workers of the city also took part. At the last meeting of the first term, Miss Eva Younge, M.A., spoke on the social organization of the Peace River area. The activities of the second term were begun with a meeting at which Professor Arthur Saint-Pierre, of the University of Montreal, spoke on French-Canadian culture. At the follow- ing meeting, two immigrant sects, the Doukhobours and the Mennonites, were compared in their particular processes of accommodation. Mr. Ewart Reid, M.A., considered the Doukhobours, while Mr. Lloyd Reynolds, M.A., discussed the Mennonites. At the concluding meeting of the year, Messrs. Harold Gibbard, Stephen Mamchur and Albert Moellmann spoke on their re- spective research projects on immigrant adjustment. 278 19 3 4 19 3 4 Professor Sugars Denton Luke Allyn Hobble The Spanish Club President Vice-President Honorary President H. G. Hobble Miss N. C. Allyn Professor Sugars Treasurer Secretary F. L. Denton A. B. Luke r ' r HE Spanish Club of McGill University has now completed its second year. It came into I existence largely as a result of the energy and enthusiasm of its honorary president, i Professor Sugars, who realized the nsed and value of such an organization. The object of the Club is to create and foster an interest in and knowledge of Spanish- speaking countries and Spanish-speaking peoples, and to cultivate their language. This is being accomplished through group contact and various activities. Accomplished speakers were obtained throughout the year. Among these were: Mr. C. F. Denton, who interested the club with mountaineering adventures in the Pyrenees; Mr. Ingram Bryan, with motion-pictures of travel in South America and the West Indies; Senor Megana, Consul of Mexico, with motion-pictures of Mexico and a splendid lecture on Aztec discoveries and art; Mr. J. Marsh, who presented lantern slides of the West Indies; Senor J. Torrent, with exhibitions and demonstrations of the cork industry; Professor Sugars, who showed Seville, with its literary interests; and General Jaramillo, who spoke of his native Colombia. The Spanish students of McGill did their share with a debate in Spanish and a Spanish play, both of which were extremely interesting and entertaining.

Ritchie Frances Walbridge Eleanor Reid Murray G. Brooks Fredda E. Peden THE Student Christian Movement is a fellowship of students who are seeking to discover an adequate basis and dynamic for life. Students are encouraged to do their own think- ing, and to come to grips with the most real and vital issues of life. Many in the Move- ment have a sincere conviction that the secret for the highest and richest life isto be found in Jesus Christ. Many others are less certain, but are seeking earnestly to discover the way of life that will bring greatest satisfaction. Great emphasis is laid upon the value of study, especially in small groups under competent leadership, where there is ample opportunity for free and frank discussion. Special student services have been held regularly in the beautiful chapel of Divinity Hall. Meetings of the S. C. M. and other University societies, conferences and forums, have been conducted in Strathcona Hall, and social events have been held there. An Open House has been conducted every Sunday night for all students. The McGill Spring Camp has become one of the features of the year ' s activities. Large numbers of delegates from McGill have attended other conferences in Canada, the United States and Europe during the past year. Among the visitors this year have been: Rev. J. B. McLaurin of India, Mr. Max Yergan of Africa, Dean Carrington of Bishop ' s University, eight students from the University of Vermont, Dr. Reinhold Niebuhr of New York, Miss Margaret Kinney of Edmonton, Mr. Ernest Johnson of Boston, Dr. E. Stanley Jones of India, Dr. Walter Kotschnig of Geneva, Rev. C. M. Stewart of Kenmore, Bishop Fleming of the Arctic, and Mr. Jesse R. Wilson of New York. 281 The Educational Society President G. Dixon Executive Members Miss M. Aikman „ , , Miss M. Gowans Secretary R. M. Calder, Jr. j Worrall THIS society was organized this year by students taking courses in the Department of Education at McGill University. It was formed for the purpose of affording students an opportunity of listening to prominent men speak on current day problems in the field of education, and to enable them to discuss such problems in an informal way with the speaker at the close of the address. Organization did not take place until late in the session — in fact, only one general meeting of the Society has been held at the time this is being written. However, two prominent men. Dr. Percival and Dr. Logan, and at least one other, will have spoken to the Society before the term is completed. The originators of the Society hope that their work will be well founded, and that the organization will justify its existence on the campus within the next year. There seems to be good evidence that it will do so. The problem of education is of vital importance to all at the present time. McGill Uni- versity authorities are co-operating with government departments in producing well-trained teachers with broad views on the subject. The opinions of others, though not necessarily con- nected with these, must always be considered, and in this The Educational Society should do much to secure wider knowledge and experience for all students of education. It is sincerely hoped that next year ' s executive will make every effort to secure good and competent men from all activities of life to address the Society and make its work worth while. The Light Aeroplane Club President A. A. Reid Secretary C. P. Paton THE McGill Light Aeroplane Club, formed by students in 1927, was the first university flying club in Canada. Instruction, in the early days, was obtained at a commercial flying school at Cartierville. Many students also held summer commissions in the Royal Canadian Air Force. Women students were admitted to the Club in 1930. A Gypsy Moth biplane was presented to the club by the Federal Government in 1931, after long and untiring effort by the Advisory Board. Flying was transferred to St. Hubert Airport, in conjunction with the Montreal Light Aeroplane Club, with which the McGill Club had affiliated. Much flying was done until the fall of 1932, when the plane was crashed by non-student flyers. A replacement plane was not available, and activities were reduced during 1933. A Glider Club, formed in 1930, began construction of a primary glider, which was half completed when funds gave out. The Glider Club was amalgamated with the Light Aero- plane Club in 1931. Last summer the glider was finished and flown by a new group of Engineer- ing students. Gliding instruction was given by experienced students at St. Hubert Airport throughout the summer and fall by auto-towing, i.e., hauling the glider through the air by a 600-foot rope attached to a motor car, the pilot dropping the rope at 250 to 300 feet altitude and descending in free flight. The tow-car, a ' 24 Buick, is Club property, and, tenderly nursed by the mechanical genius in the club, has done yeoman service. The combined experience of Club members totals some 400 gliding flights without any injuries to pilots, and with only minor damage to the glider. Gliding will be resumed in the summer, and construction begun on more advanced types of gliders with which to try soaring flight.

NOLAN, SPORTS EDITOR McGILL continued to ride on the crest of intercollegiate athletics during the 1933-34 season as the Red and White Colours were carried to eight championships, as con- trasted with the six won by our arch-rivals, Toronto Varsity, and the failure of the tri-colour of Queen ' s to annex a single title. The season did not start any too auspiciously, as McGill oarsmen lost the annual rowing classic to Varsity by the narrow margin of half a length. The race was held in Montreal on the Lachine Canal, and was more closely contested than any since the inauguration of the rivalry between the respective organizations. The next championship to be decided was on the soccer field. Here McGill ' s strong eleven found unexpected competition from the Varsity squad, and had to be satisfied with a 1-1 draw in the encounter between the teams in Toronto. The outcome of the series then hinged on the respective engagements of McGill and Toronto with R.M.C. Although both squads succeeded in defeating the latter, Toronto was awarded the championship on the basis of the scoring averages. The same week-end saw McGill ' s seven-year stranglehold on the English Rugger crown broken, as Varsity defeated Queen ' s in Kingston and so won the title. Queen ' s having scored a surprise win over McGill the previous week. Meanwhile the Football squad was facing elimination as the result of a poor start. The opening game of the season was dropped to Varsity by an 8-0 score, and the outlook was decidedly discouraging following a disheartening and undeserved loss to Queen ' s by a 3-2 margin. Three successive victories, however, brought the team back into the fight with a vengeance, as Western lost twice and the Tri-colour once to the powerful Red squad. Queen ' s defeat had been a smashing one, and McGill hopes ran high when the Red team journeyed to Toronto for the final game of the schedule. Here hard luck once again dogged McGill ' s foot- steps, and Varsity triumphed 7-4, to force a play-off with Queen ' s for the title. This was held the following week, and saw Varsity outplay the Tri-colour to annex their fourth champion ip of the season. The Tennis and Golf competitions opened McGill ' s string of victories, as both teams were successful in winning championships. It is worthy of note that in both tournaments the individual titles as well were annexed by McGill men. Laird Watt winning the Tennis Singles Championship and Bob Costello the Individual Golf Championship; while in the doubles play of the Tennis tourney the finals were contested by the two McGill teams. Laird Watt and Roche Robertson versus Bob Murray and Ken Farmer, the former pair winning after a hard struggle. Meanwhile Van Wagner ' s protegees were annexing another Track championship by a large r margin than in any other competition in the past few years. Here, too, individual cham- pionships fell to the lot of McGill Colour-bearers, as Phil Edwards, Goodfellow, Smith, Meikle- john and Goode were victorious in their particular events. The Harrier title also stayed with McGill, as a strong Red team successfully staved off the best efforts of Varsity, R.M.C. and O.A.C. in the annual race, held this year in Montreal. The winter season brought with it additional glory for McGill teams as the Basketball, Hockey, Water Polo, and Swimming teams swept to championships, Toronto succeeding in retaining only the Gymnastic and B.W. and F. crowns. The Basketball squad showed a clean pair of heels to its opposition, as it went through the entire league schedule without the loss of a single game. In exhibition encounters the team broke even with University of Vermont in a two-game series, whilst in local competition it lOst out by a slim margin to Nationales for the City Championship. The Senior Hockey t eam will go down in McGill hockey history as the greatest aggrega- tion ever to don the Red colours. Entered in the local Senior Group, the team went through (continued on page 3 ' 4) 1 286 BASKETBALL GYMNASTIC B.

Markey THE Intercollegiate team again swept all before it to garner its fourth c onsecutive Inter- collegiate championship. Undefeated again this year, it has set up a record which in all probability will not be equalled for many years to come. The McGill Intercollegiate teams have lost only one game in their League in the last four years — truly this is the record of a super-team. The personnel has not been the same each year but there has been a nucleus of tliree players around whom to build a new team each year.

Rossr oneof-lhe regular guards, graduates also, and will be a difficult man to replace in the defensive system. However, with the nucleus of Young, Smaill, Gormlev and Bowes, the prospects are not too dark. The substitutes formed a much more important part in the team than in former years, and their playing was always of the highest calibre when injected into the play. Mr. Van Wagner ' s work in the capacity of coach cannot be too highly commended, and it is felt that with him at the helm again next season, McGill will more than put up a fight to retain her hard-won Basketball honours. The following is a table of the Intercollegiate schedule, with the scores of the various games played : McGill 21 McGill 26 McGill 35 McGill 30 McGill 27 McGill 33 Queen ' s 20 Western 23 Queen ' s 33 Toronto 21 Western 15 Toronto 31 289 Murray Scriver Wilson Conklin Le itt ' S F. M. Van Wagner (Coach) Jeffrey Corrigan (Capl,) Greenblalt Prof. French Boyd The Intermediate Basketball Team Coach: F. M. Van Wagner Captain: Frank Corrigan Manager: G.S.Murray THE City League Basketball team left senior company this year in favour of the Inter- mediate League. The League schedule consisted of ten games, of which McGill won four and lost six, thus finishing the season in third place. The team consisted mainly of men in their early years at College, and for this reason can be looked to for better things next season. Corrigan, Jeffrey and Boyd composed the defence; whilst Conklin, Wilson. Scriver, Greenblatt and Levites looked after the forward positions. Condit of last year ' s team was to have been included in the line-up, but knee injuries kept him from participating in any of the games. This year an Intermediate Intercollegiate League was formed, composed of Loyola, Macdonald College, University of Montreal, Bishop ' s University and McGill. This was the outcome of numerous efforts in the past to form just such a unit, wliich was not realized until the season just concluded. The four Montreal teams played a double round-robin series, the outcome of which was a tie for leadership between McGill and U. of M. Owing to financial reasons, McGill waived their rights to the leadership, thus giving U. of M. the right to meet Bishop ' s in the play-offs. The hope is that in future seasons these teams will form a regular schedule calling for a home and home series, with all five teams participating. However, though this is an Inter- collegiate league, it cannot apply for membership in the C.I.A.U., owing to the present standing of Macdonald College in athletics. The Intermediate team serves a double purpose. It not only supplies McGill with a second team, but also affords Coach Van Wagner with material for his Senior Intercollegiate squad in subsequent seasons. 290 19 3 4 1 19 3 4 The Men Behind the Teams BERT LIGHT BOXING COACH GUSTAVE RAIMONDI FENCING COACH Gustave Raimondi was born in Paris in 1870 during the Franco-Prussian war. Spending part of his youth in England, and culminating his early education in a seminary, he joined the French Army at the age of 19. An inherent love of fenc- ing urged him to cntre his attention on this sport, and after spending three years at a leading military school. Join- ville-Le-Rond. he shortly became fenc- ing master of the 78th regiment. At the termination of his military service he was appointed to a similar position at Oxford University, which position he held for 16 years. A thirst for adventure led him to migrate to the New World, where he took up an appointment at Washington. D.C.. only to cross the border to Canada at the outbreak of the World War. Once here, he enlisted in the 2nd University Contingent, which went Overseas as reinforcements to the Princess Pats C.L.I. At the termination of hostilities he returned to Montreal, and has guided the McGill Fencing Club ' s activities ever since. To Mr. Raimondi is due not a little of the credit for the consistently fine showing made by the McGill fenc- ing teams in recent years, both in inter- collegiate and in provincial and city competition. Bert Light was born in London. England, on a Friday, the 13th, 19{X). Coming to Canada at the age of nine, he obtained his early education in Ottawa. At 16 he entered the Engraving profession, and started his own business in Montreal at the age of 20. Bert ' s early interest was in wrestlmg. and he did not take seriously to boxing until 1918. In that year he joined the M.A.A.A.. and was successful in winning the 135 and 1 17 pound club championships. In his six years of active competition with thi_- M.A.A.A.. Bert participated in over 5n bouts, winning the E. W. Beatty Trophy and the .Wqx. Nelson Trophy. Bert ' s othei athletic interests during these years wer Basketball and paddling. As regards tht- latter. he was a member of the Cartiervilk- Boating Club, and paddled in their senior War Canoe for five years. In 1925 he took over his first coaching duties, when the Y.M.C.A. ' s first boxint: class was organized by him. and the follow- ing year he had the pleasure of seeing five ol his pupils winning Provincial Champion- ships. At this time he became coach of the McGill Boxing Club as well. Since then McGill boxers have made notable strides under his capable guidance, and no fault lies with Bert when the team fails to carry off the honours in intercol- legiate competition. FRANK SAXON WRESTLING COACH Frank Saxon was born in Lancashire. England, and it was there that he learned the first rudiments of the wrest- ling game. He won his first honours in the sport in 1912, in which year he be- came Professional Light-Heavyweight Wrestling Champion of the North of England. The following year saw his migration to Canada, where he became coach of the St. Patrick ' s A. A. A., a position which he held for four years. Meantime he won the light-heavyweight wrestling championship of Canada. In 1916 his affiliation with the Y.M.C.A. commenced, and the fact that this con- nection has not yet been broken speaks volumes for Frank ' s abilities as a wrest- ling nu-ntor. 1928 saw his appointment ;is Man;tgcr of the Canadian Olympic Wreslhng team, an honour which was again bestowed on him by the 1932 Canadian Olympic Committee. In the 1928 Olympics two of his own pupils won places at the Amsterdam Games, and in 1932 four of his pupils were in- cluded on the roster of the Canadian Wrestling team. Today. Frank is ack- nowledged to be the greatest wrestling coach in Canada, a reputation built up- on ihe fact that h e has coached more Canadian and Provincial Amateur Wrestling Champions than any other coach in the Dominion. 291 u o z U z w Q Z o z H W Pi O I— I o w H 292 The Boxing, Wrestling and Fencing Club Hon()iar - Prt ' sidt ' iU Dr. Hand Boxing Coach A. E. Light Manager W. T. Moran Wrestling Coach F. Saxon Boxing Representative T. H. Southwood Fencing Coach G. Raimondi Wrestling Representative J. Spratt Captain W. Billingsley Fencing Representative R. Rivard GREAT activity has been shown by the B.W. F. Club during the past year. Many students, not necessarily would-be boxers or wrestlers, were attracted to the practices by the excellent opportunity for strenuous exercise offered by this popular club. The season commenced in the first week of October, and the activities were confined to the Montreal High School gymnasium until the conclusion of the Rugby season, when head- quarters were moved to the Field House. Weekly inter-club competitions at the Union and Field House, supplemented by bouts at various smokers throughout the City, were sponsored by the Boxing Club, under the direction of Coach Light. The team was for the greater part composed of newcomers, but what was lacking in experience was more than made up in enthusiasm. This year Frank Saxon, former mentor of several Olympic teams, took over the duties of Wrestling Coach, and enjoyed considerable success in his initial season as a McGill coach. In Wrestling, as in Boxing, the coach was faced with the difficulty of selecting a team from comparatively new men, and credit is due to Coach Saxon for his unceasing efforts in moulding a formidable team. McGill wrestlers competed regularly with representatives from various clubs throughout the City, the most successful meet being that held at the Y.M.C.A., at which the McGill team won 4 out of 7 bouts contested. The Fencers, handicapped as they were by improper training facilities, had a very sucessful season. Larger turnouts than in previous years were in evidence. The members of the club competed at tournaments held by the various fencing units of the City, and were to the fore in all of them. The Provincial Foil Championship was won by Van Reet, a newcomer who shows exceptional promise. Prior to the Inter-faculty Assault numerous well contested elimination bouts, in which several Macdonald College men competed, were held at the Field House. The Inter-faculty Meet was well up to the standard of previous years. Arts emerged the winners, closely followed by Medicine. The Intercollegiate championships were held this year in Toronto, and to Toronto goes the credit of having won the hardest fought Intercollegiate battle seen in a number of years. McGill was unfortunate in only acquiring two (2) points, but during the two nights of competition every man gave a very good account of himself. The final Score was: Toronto — 8, Queen ' s — 7, McGill — 2. McGill ' s points were won by George Maughan, in the heavyweight boxing class, and Wiggers, in Fencing. The Club is indebted to Coaches Light, Saxon and Raimondi for their untiring efforts, and it is felt that with this year ' s team as a foundation, a more formidable squad will be available for next year ' s competition. The Intercollegiate Team representing McGill consisted of the following: WEIGHT BOXING WRESTLING 118 Caron Southwood 125 Hollingsworth Black 135 Swift Lazarovitch 145 Quinn Johnson 155 MacDonald Billingsley 165 Savage Pistreich 175 Brenhouse MacLean Heavy Maughan (I. Champ. ) Stewart Fencing: 1. Wiggers (I. Champion). 2. Van Reet. 3. de Montigny. (The team as a whole won the Intercollegiate title, with Wiggers as individual champion.) 293 19 3 4 19 3 4 May Finlay Coach: Hay Finlay Dodd Saunders Stewart Hodgson MacCarthy The Gymnastic Club Captain: G. K. Dodd Manager: A. W. MacCarthy THE Caron Cup, emblematic of the Intercollegiate Gymnastic Championship, will remain in possession of the Toronto Varsity gj mnasts for another year as a result of the annual meet, which was held in Montreal. The contest was not without its highlights, however, for George Dodd, this year ' s captain and one of the finest gymnasts McGill has produced in recent years, won the individual Intercollegiate championship by a large margin. At the commencement of the present season McGill was without the services of three members of last year ' s team, Wallace, Anglin and Mackenzie, and Coach Hay Finlay was forced to look for new material with which to endeavour to regain the intercollegiate champion- ship. In this search he was fortunate in obtaining the services of Hodgson, Harvey, Oliver and Walker, all of whom showed great promise, and will be valuable in future years. The season commenced with an exhibition meet with Central Y.M.C.A., which McGill was successful in winning. The Wicksteed Interfaculty Meet followed. In this competition, Dodd won the silver medal for graduates. Walker the bronze medal for intermediates, and Harvey the Harvey Cup for freshmen. In the Provincial meet which followed, the team that was entered in the open competition was defeated by a small margin by the Westmount Y.M.C.A. In the same meet, however, the novice team repeated the performance of McGill teams of the past two seasons in winning first place, with Saunders taking the individual honours. The season closed with the Intercollegiate meet, held at the Montreal High School, which Toronto won with its well-balanced team performing perfectly. 294 HOCKEY WINTER SPORTS Photos by the Arless Studio, Reg ' i H D?

SELDOM, if ever, has an amateur hockey team so completely taken the public fancy as did the squad which carried the Red and White colours during the 1933-34 season. Hailed as the greatest aggregation of hockey players ever assembled since the days of the Varsity Grads , theMcGill squad swept through the Montreal Senior Group schedule, Intercollegiate fixtures, and nimierous exhibition tilts without the loss of a single game. This record included wins over Yale, Princeton, Harvard, and Toronto Varsity in Intercollegiate fixtures, as well as victories over Royals, Verdun Maple Leafs, Lafontaine, Canadiens, and Victorias of the local Senior league, aiM3; in. additiorij decisive win over the Ottawa All-stars. The Intercollegiate series saw t|i Kidmen calfJfcuEMfetheir fourth title in the past five years; not, however, without rugged opposition from th tjo carrying the Blue and White colours of Toronto Varsity. Jhe opening game of the series, ■-thi year, was played in Montreal, on February 2nd, when McGill won easily by the score of ,V-0::Tr the return game in the Queen City, however, the Redmen rested on their laurels, and wei v nt rtT ' holding Varsity to a scoreless draiw. ,...,. 1 1 i J ' More interest Was evinced in the Red Raiders ' lid for thfe s nK? 3ity title and conse- quent right to challenge forthe Allan Cup. emthlemalic of the ;Am.a|eur Championship of Canada.

The Group Championship was to be ecicjed in a thi-ee-gam serijes Consternation reigned in the McGill bailiwick Whea-the vaunted Collegians dropped tfte opening tilt by a 4-2 margin. No excuses Were offered by the players themselves, but McGill supporters realized that the squad had been completely oflf-colour. The second game of the series saw McGill regaining a little of the polish which had carried them through the season without a loss, as they turned back the flying Frenchmen by the only goal of the evening. The deciding encounter, however, proved the most thrilling game seen locallv in many a long year. The third period was mid-way through with the score tied at 1-1, whenMaurice Powers, the McGill custodian, was banished from the ice for being over-robust with an opposing forward. Young Shag Shaughnessy was elected to guard the nets, while four other forwards battled to keep Canadiens from getting within striking distance of the McGill citadel. In the brief space of one minute McGill supporters were transported from the depths of despair to the heights of joyful frenzy as the Red Raiders, minus their goalkeeper, swept into the lead with an unexpected goal. Three minutes later the scoreboard read: McGill 4— Canadiens 1, as the McGill squad completed the rout of the team which had so nearly taken its measure. Quebec Aces, Provincial Intermediate Champions, were the next stepping-stone to Allan Cup honours. They were brushed aside by a ten-goal margin in a two-game series, and {conliniicd on page 374) 298 i -r 19 3 4 19 3 4 Crawford El wood Carsley Letourneau Captain: C. U.

Two sectiorjs were formed, each of four teams, which used the Campus rinks to full advantage, benefiting bv the rigorous winter enjoyed by Montreal. Section A returned Commerce as the winner, and Engineering proved victors of the oth section. In winning their section. Commerce compiled the following record: Commerce Theology 1 Commerce 3 Medicine 2 Commerce defeated Arts by default. In the play-off Com merce overwhelmed Theology by 11-0, and capped that most credit- able performance with another victory over the Classicists, 5-3. This last victory made Conv merce champions of Section A . The intersectional plav-off between Commerce and Engineering took place on February 19 and 21, the former team winning both games by scores of 2-1 and 5-2, to gain the title by a winning round-score of 7-3. Commerce well deserved the inter-faculty title by virtue of their fine record compiled during the season. Of the seven games played by the Businessmen, only one defeat was suffered, and compared to the nine goals scored against them, the titlists connected for a total of 26 points. The team was under the management of Jack Bishop. I ] 1 3 I 300 J 19 3 4 19 3 4 The Men Behind the Teams F. M. VAN WAGNER Basketball and Track Coach F. M. Van Wagner was born at Hyde Park, N.Y., March 27, 1894. Graduating with the degree of B.P.E. (Bachelor of Physical Educa- tion) from Springfield in 1920, he attended the Harvard Uniyersity summer school of physical education in 1922, and later did additional gra- duate work at Harvard and McGill. Always a keen devotee of athletics, he was a member of the Springfield Soccer, Track and Hockey teams during his college days. Coming to McGill in 1920 as Track Coach and Assistant Physical Director, he has been a source of inspiration to track and basketball teams ever since. Through his initiative and untiring efforts Montreal wit- nesses some of the finest inter-scholastic track meets to be seen on the continent. These have been held every year since first organized by him in 1921. In addition to this, his splendid coaching has been instrumental in greatly in- creasing McGiU ' s prestige in athletic circles; the Track team having gained five intercollegiate championships in the last six years, and the Senior Basketball team having won the inter- collegiate title for four years in succession, as well as several city crowns. DR. R. B. BELL Hon. Hockey Coach Robert Bell, our great hockey mentor, earned many laurels for himself while attending McGill. Secretary of the Arts L ' ndergraduates ' Society, Manager of the Senior football team. President of the Dental Undergraduates ' Society, he served his apprenticeship for his present success- ful coaching when as player he aided McGill for five years in a fruitless struggle for intercollegiate hockey supremacy. His all-round ability brought him the presidency of the McGill Union, and coincidently he served as President of the Can- dian Intercollegiate Hockey L ' nion. Graduating in Arts in 1926, and in Dentistry in 1928, Bobby watched over the efforts of the Junior hockey team during the season of 1929-30, and more recently has moulded together one of the finest Senior hockey aggregations ever to don skates. Three intercollegiate titles and two Provincial championships have been garnered by the McGill squad under his guidance, and no little credit for this record is due to Bobby ' s strategy and generalship. 301 ' cm 19 3 4 19 3- Insert: Campbell Larocque ,1 R.

Starke Captain Manager Assistant Manager F. B. Campbell P. Renold F. Svenningson THE past season will be remembered for many years to come for the uninterrupted excell- ence of the weather conditions. From November onwards there was a very good turn- out of the Club for practices, under the able direction of Bill Thompson and Paul Knowlton ; and also for the meet. A team of six went down to Lake Placid at New York for the annual college meet, but did not have much success, although Ball won the slalom and was placed fourth in the combined cross-country and jump, while Jack Houghton took fourth place in the slalom. At the Canadian Intercollegiate at Lucerne, three places were gained in the slalom, Frank Campbell second. Jack Houghton third, and Jim Houghton fourth; and two, third and fourth, in the cross-country, by Jack Houghton and Frank Campbell. The Intercollegiate (international) Meet was held at Dartmouth, under rather trying condi- tions of cold and lack of snow. Bill Ball won the downhill, with Bill Tait placed fourth in that and third in the slalom, and Jack Houghton second in the slalom. Tait also just failed to get a place in the cross-country by the narrow margin of one second. Jeff Goode ran a good race with the snowshoers, placing second. Dartmouth won the meet easily. New Hampshire placing second. St. Patrick ' s third, and McGill fourth. Owing to an unfortunate accident, Frank Campbell was unable to run for McGill, having broken a leg whilst practising in the Laurentians. The loss of the captain and star of the team was regretted by everyone. In conclusion it can be said that McGill need not fear for the future, for the large turnouts and excellence of some of the new material speak well for the enthusiasm for the CIuId. 302 RUGBY ENGLISH RUGBY SOCCER Photos by courtesy of the Associated Screen Neivs, iJmittH 1 -IK FOOTBALL £ 19 33 CA0.SL6y VWeSTMAN Photos by courtesy of the Associated Screen News.

McEntvre Ralph Allen ' NEVER has a McGill Football Team come so close to upsetting the dope as did the one which carried the Red and White colours during the 1933-34 season. Smarting under the effects of a 6-3 beating received at the hands of the Westward Q.R.F.U. team, the McGill squad gathered sufficient momentum to wind up the pre-season exhibition games with a 17-0 victory over the Royal Military College Cadets from Kingston, in a game played at Molson Stadium on September 30th. The Intercollegiate Series opened in Montreal on October 7th, when Toronto Varsity, Intercollegiate Champions of 1932, successfully smothered McGill ' s best scoring plays, with the result that the game developed into a kicking duel. Herb Westman, McGill ' s kicking ace, saw little action owing to an injured ankle, and Varsity ' s aerial superiority won them an 8-0 victory. The following week McGill travelled to Kingston to meet a highly-rated tri-colour squad. Here again hard luck dogged the Red and White Team ' s footsteps. With only a few minutes remaining in the final quarter, McGill found themselv es within the Tri-Colour ' s Fifteen Yard Line and the score 3-2 in Queen ' s favour. Strategy called for a placement kick, which, if successful, meant the game. ' Shag ' Shaughnessy, Jr., was selected to make the try. He got the kick away alright, but unfortunately the ball struck the Queen ' s goalpost and bounded back into play. Queen ' s then had little difficulty in retaining possession of the ball until the final whistle blew. The third game of the series saw Western locking horns with McGill at Molson Stadium. Here the tide of fortune turned in McGill ' s favour, and the Redmen won a very closely-contested struggle by the score of 10-6. The following week the same two teams met again in London, Ont., and once again McGill was the victor, this time by the score of 8-7. Both victories, however, were won at the expense of a team which deserved at least an even break on the series. McGill ' s chances of winning the Intercollegiate Championship were considerably enhanced the following week, when a highly vaunted Queen ' s twelve arrived at Molson Stadium expecting to clinch the championship only to receive a crushing 17-1 defeat, thus creating a three-cornered tie for the league leadership. As a consequence it was a fighting squad which travelled to Toronto on November Uth to meet Warren Steven ' s Blue Boys. The game was played in a blinding snowstorm. A heavy cross-stadium gale made kicking a matter of chance and the game evolved to a matter of waiting for the breaks. McGill failed to take advantage of several first-half, point-scoring opportunities, preferring to try for major scores. Withal they went into the final quarter leading by 4-1. Varsity with any little advantage that the breeze gave them, concentrated on kicking for points. Two unfortunate safety touches gave them the lead, which Sinclair proceeded to increase. The final score was 7-4, thus giving Varsity the right to play Queen ' s for the Intercollegiate Championship in a sudden-death contest. This took place the following Saturday in Toronto, where Varsity succeeded in retaining the championship. The annual exhibition game against the Montreal Football Club resulted in a 13-0 score for the latter. Great credit was due to Herbie Westman, stellar kicking half, for the part he played in the McGill struggle for Intercollegiate honours. He impressed both as a kicker and as a running half. Other newcomers to the squad also made names for themselves, notably ' Shag ' Shaughnessy, Jr., whose placement kicks were at all times a menace to opposing teams, wliile Degnan, Hornig, Richert and Byrne also shared honors. Unfortunately Don Young, captain of the team, was out the greater part of the season, with an ankle injury. His return in the final game against Toronto undoubtedly had a bracing effect on the remainder of the team. Letourneau, Carsley, Stockwell, Markham and Krukowski played their positions excellently.

Rugby Team Coaches George McTeer Ralph St. Germain Manager Captain Ralph Allen Bob McLernon II KE the Junior Football squad, the McGill Intermediates were faced this season with the handicap of not having a regular coach. George McTeer started the season in this capa- - city, but was forced to resign his duties to Ralph St. Germain when business called him to Ottawa in mid-season. The team members, however, did not let this unsettling change stop them from putting up a fine display of football throughout the league schedule. This season the team was once again entered in the Intermediate Q.R.F.U., in competi- tion with such teams as Westward, Ottawa and C.N.R. Here the schedule called for home and away games with the various teams involved, and the McGill unit was called upon to display a fighting brand of football to warrant its entry in the League. As in past seasons, the Intermediate team was used as a farm team for the Senior squad, and it is this fact that spoiled, to a great extent, the proper functioning of the outfit. It was never certain that serious inroads would not be made on the personnel of the squad in the event of any members of the Senior team meeting with injuries. The opinion which prevailed amongst the players was that until some definite policy with regard to the Intermediates was adopted, McGill would not develop a sufficiently strong team to warrant its continued existence. As matters now stand, the continual changes in personnel, caused by temporary promotions to the Senior team, have a most disruptive effect, and are most certainly not calculated to maintain the interest of the players. 307 19 3- 19 3 4 Stovel Morgan Ross Webber Gardner Latour Probert Ross O ' Brien Lang Ruddick Newman Jeffrey Hess Macdonald Harvey Amaron Walker Mr. Anderson Matheson McCormick The Freshman Football Team Intermediate Intercollegiate League Coaches Duncan Anderson Ken Tremain Manager Captain R. Allen Harry Walker THE Freshman Football Team opened the 1933-34 season under the handicap of not having a regular coach. During the first few weeks Ken Tremain was in charge of the workouts, but, unfortunately, was not able to devote his full attention to the squad. For this reason the team had not become sufificiently moulded together when its schedule began. The first game of the season saw the Redmen stacking up against Bishop ' s at the Molson Stadium ; and the McGill Footballers were routed to the tune of 28-6. Following this, the team journeyed to Loyola ' s West-End Stadium for an encounter with the Maroon and White. Here again they were unsuccessful, and Loyola took their measure by a 28-1 margin. At this stage Duncan Anderson took over the coaching duties, and almost immediately a steady improvement was noted in the functioning of the squad. Nightly scrimmages were held in which the Juniors were given the opportunity of practising against the senior squad, an advantage that was greatly relished by the Freshmen. The third game of the season was witli Bishop ' s at Lennoxville. It was here that the squad played its first real football of the season, and although beaten 5-0, gave a remarkably good account of itself. The final game of the season was against Loyola, at the Molson Stadium. The team once again played well together and held the highly vaunted Maroon squad to a close 3-1 win. Despite the fact that the team did not succeed in winning any games throughout the season, too much credit cannot be given Dune Anderson for the part he played in remoulding the team, and to the players for their sportsmanship during the tough schedule they were called upon to fill.

Sprinkle Freeman Svenningson IN 1931-32 there were five cheer leaders on the squad; in 1932-33 this number was reduced to tliree, and at the opening of the season of 1933-34 only one of these remained. He made a lone effort at the R.M.C. and Western games, and was unsupported until along came Freeman to give his able assistance for the rest of the year. These two stalwarts will be on hand from the beginning of next season, and will do all in their power to liven up the interest in cheering. This year a new scheme was tried. Megaphones were passed out to the crowd, which created an interest, and increased the volume of lusty cheering. Also, during half-time of the Queen ' s game the Cheer Leaders, with the help of the Band, put on a skit entitled, Three Little Pigs. The Cheer Leaders made the trip to Toronto, and performed their painful duty knee-deep in snow — with a blizzard whistling about their ears (not to mention snowballs). The Cheer Leaders ' thanks are due to Finnie Fletcher, Major Forbes, and to all others who cooperated with them to help make a success of their work. It is hoped that next year we will have one or two more members on the squad to help give the cheer leading that is re- quired. Any men interested are advised to get in touch with one of the members if desirous of trydng their hand at the work.

SHAUGHNESSY Rugby Coach An American by birth, Frank J. culminated his college days at the University of Notre Dame. He starred on the diamond, and captained the Varsity football in 1904. At the same time he was able to gain academic honours, earning a Ph.G. in ' 03, to which he added a LL.B. degree in ' 06. The next few years brought many changes, however, and we find Frank plying his base- ball wares in Washington, San Francisco and Philadelphia, and then coaching Clemson Col- lege in ' 08, and Washington Lee University in ' 09. He practised law and coached the Roanoke Baseball Club from ' 09- ' ll, and in 1912 he came to McGill in a coaching capacity, only to leave at the outbreak of the war to train the 207th Battalion. Later he served as lieutenant in the Canadian Artillery, from 1916 to 1918. Returning to McGill in 1919, he led the great team of that year to an Intercollegiate Rugby championship. His reign as the McGill coach, both in hockey and football, lasted until ' 26, during which time he won for himself number one ranking as an athletic leader. Coincident with his regime at McGill, Frank had a fling at the brokerage game. In 1929 he master-minded the intermediate Loyola gridiron twelve to the Dominion Intercollegiate title. At present he is back to his first loves, base- ball and football. In the summer months he is the General Manager of the Montreal Inter- national League Baseball Club, and in the fall is the popular coach of McGill football teams. HAY FINLAY Soccer and Gymnastic Coach Hay Finlay was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in the year 1891. During his High school days. Hay found spare time enough to study Art and Physical Education, as well as to participate in boys ' work, play soccer, and make a name for himself in Lightweight wrestling circles. Coming to Canada in 1911, he became affiliated with the Central Y.M.C.A. in Toronto, in the field of physical education. The following year saw him taking over the position of Assistant Ph -sical Director at the Montreal Central Y, and during the years of the World W ' ar Hay was extremely active as Staff Instructor of the Canadian Army Gymnastic School and the 42nd Battalion, C.E.F. In 1921 he took over his present duties as Assistant Physical Director of McGill Uni- versity, and along with F. M. Van Wagner founded Camp Nominingue, Que., in 1925. Hay is at present coach of both the Soccer and Gymnastic clubs, and the reputation that McGill has in both these sports, in the United States as well as in Canada, is an indication of his coach- ing abilities. 311 The English Rugby Club Hon. Pres. Captain Dean C. F. Martin D. St. G. Butterfield Manager Vice-Captain M. Blakely E. Hope THE opening of the 1933-34 season found the McGill Rugger Team in a very depleted condition, for owing to the inroads made by graduation and other causes, over half of last year ' s Intercollegiate Championship team was missing from the line-up. The work of rebuilding and remoulding the team was started energetically and at an early date; a task which was made easier owing to the fact that over twenty newcomers were seeking positions on the line-up. Unfortunately, however, these new candidates, although enthusiastic, lacked the necessary experience, and it was impossible to field a team comparable in strength to the one which carried the Red and White colours the previous season. The City matches, with the single exception of an easy victory over Wanderers B, were a sad repetition of losses. However, the team showed marked improvement in each succeeding tussle, which was a heartening sign for the future. The Intercollegiate competition was this season made into a three-cornered league by the entry of the Queen ' s XV. The McGill XV travelled to Toronto for the first of the two league matches it was called upon to play, and was unable to overcome Varsity, the final result being a scoreless draw. The following week saw the Queen ' s team travelling to Montreal to meet McGill on the Campus. Here once again McGill ' s lack of finish was noticeable as thev lost a closely contested game, 6-0. Toronto subsequently defeated Queen ' s to annex the title. This was the first time in seven years that McGill failed to win the English Rugger Cham- pionship, but with new material available next year, the team will make without doubt a strong bid to regain the honours which had almost come to be looked on as part and parcel of McGill ' s annual crop of athletic championships.

Vickerson THE Swimming Club this year showed consistently fine form, winning every meet in which it entered a representative team. The personnel of the team was almost the same as last year, and much credit for its success is due to the untiring efforts of Coach George Vickerson. The annual Intercollegiate swimming meet between McGill and Varsity was held this year in Toronto, and was again won by McGill. McMaster University entered the meet on an invitation basis, and on the understanding that their points should not count in the Inter- collegiate scoring, but in the hope that .a three-teamed league of McGill, Varsity, and McMaster might be formed next year. Led by ' tlte McCatty brothers, Toronto presented a very strong team, and the meet was full of pjjsetk, ' but McGill won out -fpr the fifth successive year. In the new event, the 300 yds. irieciley relay, McGill set up a recoi-d of 3-22-2, when Alan Bourne, winning anchor man in the , 1;0O; yds; free style, overcame a Iwelve-yard handicap to win by a touch. W. A. McCatt ofrTofbnto broke his last year ' s record with,yie-4 st time of 2-45-3. His brother C. M McCatty also broke the record m the 101) yds. hack-strg e, his time being 1-06-4.

Alan Boiirrfe- ' glso won t3ie Pk)vinefal Championship 100 yds., free style, and Mark Stein took second pfaGe ...Xhe;aaiiual dual meet with the M.A.A.A. was also won easily by McGill. The Inter-faculty meet was a particularly good one this year; Arts carried off the honours with a comfortable margin, and three Inter-faculty records were broken; the 100 yds. free style by Bourne in 0-58-1, the 100 yds. back stroke by Sprenger in 1-09-1, and the relay by Commerce in 1-52-0. Moreover, Alan Bourne equalled the record of 0-25-1 in the 50 yds. free style. Needless to say, the team has more than fulfilled all the expectations of its supporters, and although the coming year will take heavy toll in the persons of Captain Mark Stein, Bill Sprenger, Fred Shaw, Palmer Howard, and Dud Butterfield, the ability of the remaining members of the team assures McGill of a good possibility of retaining the laurels won this year, especially with George Vickerson doing the coaching. 315 19 3 4 19 3-4 Blakely (Mgr.)

None the less, under the guiding hand of George Vickerson, their progress; once started, was amazing. . , ■; V - Having suffered .several defeats at the hands of othdr tekrtfe- ih the ' City L eague, McGill showed signs of be tterand better organizaffen as the season progressed, They met and defeated Varsity here in Montreal by a score of 7-5 iii a game which had all the ear-marks of a battle royal, and gained the Intercollegiate title by sigain defeating the blue team in Toronto by a score of 5-4. Improving steadily, the team put% final well-earned feather in its cap by being the only organization to defeat the Dorhihion Championship Y.M.H.Ai team. This victory ' came late in the season, when, the team was just attaining the true p ak of its form, and the contest was a hard, fast oi e, which McGill thoroughly deserved to Wii) . The Junior Team, aisO, is worthy Ofrtiuch praise. It play ;; Consistently fine games, and ended the season by holding secoiid place in the League st ndinf. Given a little more time to settle down to ' piSctise, Before the schedule starts, there is no reason why McGill should not pTrodUce a W ' ater Polo teatt whiCh would be a serious contender for the League honours, and repeat the performadces of former McGill teams of those days when the Dominion title was the aim. 316 19 3-4 19 3 4 The Men Behind the Teams URBAIN MOLMANS Rowing Coach Born in Ghent, Belgium, on the 10th of November, 1879, Urbain Molmans early in life won international fame for himself as an oars- man. During a span of eight years, from 1903 to 1911, his brilliant rowing earned him thirteen European and five Belgian titles. In soccer par- lance he did the hat trick in thrice winning the Grand Challenge at the Royal Henley. Colonel Bovey, rowing bow for the Jesus College crew, Cambridge, helped provide the opposition on one memorable occasion. 147 prizes found their way into his possession in a few short years. Coming to Canada in 1912. he virtually lost active interest in competitive row- ing until 1924. In that year he helped found the McGill Rowing Club, and since then, despite many handicaps, has remained at the coaching helm. Two Intercollegiate titles and a number of Dominion championships are an indication that Urbain has lost none of the skill which carried him to the top of the rowing world. GEORGE L. VICKERSON Hon. Swimming and Water Polo Coach George was born in Montreal, in the month of November, 1906. His early education was re- ceived in the Protestant primary schools and later at Montreal High school, from which he matriculated to McGill in 1921. Here his incli- nations led him to the study of science, and he graduated in 1925 with the degree of B.Sc. Equally as adept in the field of sport as in that of studies, George was a member of the McGill Intermediate Water-Polo Champions in 1921, Intercollegiate Champions in 1922-23, and Inter- collegiate Swimming Champions, 1923-25. It was not until 1932 that George took over the coaching duties of the McGill Swimming and Water-Polo teams in an honorary capacity, but his success here is evidenced in that champion- ships in both sports have fallen to McGill during the past season. 317 19 3 4 19 3 4 ff4 r !

Butler Secretary Treasurer Captain Coach G. B. Jost J. H. E. Dubois L. Johnson U. Molmans THERE are many reasons for supposing that the 1934 season promises to be an excellent one for the Rowing Club. The Club is fortunate in having s ome of the finest equipment in Canada, and the services of a renowned Belgian oar, Urbain Molmans, as coach. The main drawback in the past two years has been the dearth of material, which was probably owing to the hard times. This year, however, special efforts are being made to induce more men to turn out, and to lessen the cost of living at Lakeside, the summer training quarters. On July 8th, McGill sent two fours to the E.R.A. Regatta at Ottawa. These crews met with indifferent success, but at the same time this Regatta gave the men some experience in racing. Finances did not permit of a trip to the Canadian Henley this year, and the lateness of the Club ' s training season made the annual Mappin Cup race with Lachine impracticable. The Rowing Club, however, redeemed its showing in the early part of the season by a brilliant finish in the Intercollegiate race. This year the race was rowed on October 7th, under conditions to which the McGill crew was unaccustomed. Nevertheless, it was the closest McGill-Varsity race ever rowed, McGill being beaten by about one quarter of a length after completing the course in practically record time. This good showing, the best McGill has made in recent Varsity races, was largely due to the untiring efforts of the President, W. S. Fry; the Coach, U. Molmans; and the Rowmg Captain, Harold Elliott. Throughout the season the Club received the generous support of its honorary officers and members, and the present satisfactory condition of the Club is in large part owing to the continued interest of these gentlemen. 318 TRACK FIELD HARRIER H2 z w So 2 ra 2 320 19 3 4 19 3 4 The Track Club Honorary President Dr. F. J, Tees Coach F. IM. ' an Wagner Managers R. Denton Captain P. Edwards J. McDonald Captain-elect G. Meiklejohn G. Mackenzie THE season 1933-34 marked another success in the history of the McGill Senior Track Club, and added another victory to McGill ' s Intercollegiate championships this year. The men got away to a good start early in September, and by the first of October approximately seventy men had turned out for competition. The presence of many members of former teams was reassuring, and, under the expert coaching of Mr. Van Wagner, a powerful team was developed. Competition for positions was keen from the beginning of the season, all the men turned out regularly, and it was proved without doubt that Track is a popular sport, and brings recreation and exercise to a large part of the student body. Two weeks after the beginning of lecCijiesIKeliiter- faculty Meet was held at the Stadium. This meet has been held annually for many ears, and is always attended by keen Inter- faculty rivalry. CIThis year: an entry of sixty men was listed, a somevvhat llilfger number than last year, and frorp- th se entrants the members of the Intercollegiate feams (Senior and Intermediate) were eventually chosen. Contraiy to exjKctatiQns,; Mettfeirie did not win this Meet but were bqateh by the Arts Faculty by tlie score o| i -S4. , ' i[he most outstanding performer was Gordje Meiklejohn, who broke the discq thtbhmi:6rdjjih ch had stood un- changed since 1904, with a toss of 11,8 ' 6 . 7 ., . ; ■■ ' --7 ■ . ■■ % A ' : ' ' y : ' '  i The Senior Intercollegiate Meet ' %s held at Qaeen ' ' g, ' oii;Fiiday) October 20th, in the Richardson Stadium; ' jSJineteert competlt-Ors represented MeOill, and were victorious by the score of 73 points to 38 fpr Varsity, who tdok Second place.

Captain PhibJEdwards also stood out in -the haW-mile and mile events, and, aided by other Redmen, brought in a first and :a second pla pein each event. In spite of the final score, however, competition was,. yery keert, afe is ' iJisualin McGill-Varsity encounters, and it was only the hard work of the McGilTteam that won them the victory. All in all, the past season has been one of the most successful in the history of the Club, and credit must be given Coach Van Wagner, Dr. Lamb, and the others who assisted him. It is to be hoped that next year may prove equally successful. Following is a summary of Intercollegiate winners: T. Goodfellow 100 yds. Dash. P. A. Edwards i 2 niile. I. Smith High Jump. G.

And such a pleasant evening: conversation, college songs, and so forth, and then a splendid supper. Many of the students of those days had never seen such a spread- and that family ' s kindness has been remembered for half a century by not a few. The Principal, Dr., afterwards Sir William, Dawson, every year invited all the students in Arts and Applied Science, in batches, to spend an evening at liis home. Ladies were asked to meet them, many curios and natural history specimens were on view, there were micro- scopes to look through and photographs of interesting places — and also refreshments. In time the number of students grew so large that these evenings had to be discontinued. The Principal was a great man, and he loved the College, which he found on his appointment a struggling little institution, almost down and out, and left a real University. Behind the College was a spring furnishing delightful drinking water, as did the one already mentioned, and the effects of many a dry lecture were sanctified by libations therefrom. Once a small lizard, or something of that nature, came through one of the taps in the Presby- terian College, to the great consternation of the Calvinists, who had memories of having heard of straining at gnats and swallowing camels. For some time after this frightful occurrence, early morning arrivals at the College might see a procession of budding ministers proceeding to the spring, armed with tooth-brushes, there to ablute in safety. In those good old days all football matches, such as they were, and the annual sports, were held on the campus below the Redpath Museum, where cricket is now played in the summer. There were no bleachers, not even benches, and the spectators just stood around where they could. For a few years, about the time under consideration, there was a perennial freshman known as The Chicken, who was a great boxer, and annually challenged the whole first year to a boxing match. Retiring to the cellar, he would polish off one after another of the all-comers till there was no more enthusiasm. The year that the writer was a freshman, however, he was fairly tired out and licked: one after another of the more athletic men in the year went in, took their drubbing, and sapped his energy till he finally gave up — fortu- nately before the writer ' s turn arrived; otherwise this article might not have appeared. In those far-off days there may have been no bleachers, no coaches, no doctor, no women students, no stenographers, no attendance rule, no movies, no taxis, no golf, but there was a gymnasium — not perhaps very elaborate in its fittings, and not perhaps very convenient as to its situation, for it was on the east side of University Street, about half way between Cathcart and Dorchester; but it was equipped with a good deal of apparatus, and gave oppor- tunity for exercise to those who wished it. Some day McGill will again have a Gymnasium, and it will be one worthy in every way of the University. Probably the most important event of the winter was Theatre Night. The Gods of the old Academy of Music, on Victoria Street, was bought out, a piano was installed up there, and the students poured in. The rest of the theatre was always well filled, for the Night was popular, although the regular play, whatever it happened to be, was not always well heard. Afterwards a march round the streets was usually held, for many years led by a student who was a perfect wonder with the mouth organ, and unfortunately a good deal of damage was not infrequently done. One of the larger benefactions to the University was held up for some years, in fact was nearly lost altogether, the benefactor being so disgusted with the rowdiness of those whom he thought of helping — and who were more than willing to benefit by his gener- osity. He bien, mon frien ' , it ' s many year since I have been student, To many places in dis worl ' my steps dey have been bent; But when I sit an ' dream a while, my eyes wit ' tears dey fill — I was, I am. alway ' will be—A SON OF OLD McGILL. 348 ADVERTISING All Individual and Club groups in this volume by ■7 PHOTOGRAPHS 750 SHERBROOKE ST W.

Life assurance is really organized thrift reduced to a plan which converts the intentions of every thoughtful young man into a definite plan. Its psychological value is as great as Its financial merit. SUN LIFE COMPANY HEAD OFFICE ASSURANCE OF CANADA MONTREAL The Montreal City ? District Savings Bank Established 1846 The Only Savings Ban}{ in Montreal Hon. Raoul D. ndurand President Donald A. Hingston, M.D. Vice President T. Taggart Smyth General Manager (continued J rom f age 2Sb) the long schedule of home and home games with Royals, Canadiens, Victorias, Verdun, and Lafontaine without the loss of a single encounter. Besides this, victories were recorded over Yale, Princeton, Harvard and Toronto Varsity, as well as a decisive win over Ottawa All-Stars in the capital. The Quebec Champion- ship was won following play-off victories over Verdun, Canadiens and Quebec Aces, the Pro- vincial Intermediate Champions. The series with Moncton for the right to enter the Eastern Canadian finals was a bitterly contested one, the Redmen succumbing to the Maritimers by 3-1 scores in both games of the two-game series. Had the series hinged on games rather than goals, another story might well have been written in the record books. The Swimming team had little difficulty in gaining another Intercollegiate crown, and individual triumphs were achieved by Stein, Mills and Peter Bourne. The Water Polo squad won both games of the home and home series with Toronto, turning back Varsity ' s bid to retain this crown, which they won in 1932 and successfully defended last year. In the B.W. F. McGill was successful in winning the fencing meet through Wiggers ' fine work in capturing the Individual champion- ship. George Maughan ' s victory in the heavy- weight division was the only point scored by the boxers, whilst the wrestlers failed com- pletely in all their efforts to gamer victories. The Gymnastic team, too, lost to a strong Toronto aggregation, although G. K. Dodd won a personal triumph by gaining the Individual championships. McGill ' s Winter Outing Club once again functioned with some measure of success, and a representative team journeyed to Lake Placid for the International Intercollegiate Cham- pionships. Here strong opposition was encoun- tered in the teams from Dartmouth and St. Patrick ' s, Ottawa, and the McGill team had to be content with third place in the final standing. In conclusion, it must be evident from the foregoing review that, from the competitive standpoint, 1933-34 has been a most successful year for McGill in the field of athletics. Once again the majority of the intercollegiate titles, and in few sports have the Red teams failed to be serious contenders for championship hon- ours. It is of even greater importance, how- ever, that McGill has again proved beyond dis- pute her right to that highest of all the titles that can be won in athletic competition, namely, that of good sportsmanship. 354 The Will to Succeed IT takes more than will power to succeed in life. It takes a healthy vigorous brain and a well built frame with no weak spots. The time to build that kind of a foundation for future success is in early adulthood.

The old favourites, the Political Economy Club, English Literature Society, Philosophical Society, Debating L nion Society, Delta Sigma, Societe Frangaise, Cercle Frangais, German Club, and all the others, carried on much as usual, reporting satisfactory years. The French clubs put on extracts from two French plays in Moyse Hall for the first time, a worthy inno- vation. So it seems that McGill has made steady progress during the year despite the terrible setback it suffered near the commencement. While the year was far from being an outstand- ing one, yet it cannot be said to have been en- tirely devoid of innovations or nnportant under- takings. We can face the future assured that McGill will carry on, following the principles which our lost leader instilled in us, and that when a new Principal is selected, he will not find the student body apathetic or wanting in co-operation and initiative.

B.A. ITTLE RED RIDING-HOOD had every reason to be afraid of the Big, Bad Wolf. So had the Three Little Pigs- -particularly when they heard, on good authority, that he had no aversion to pork! We, too, have our Big, Bad Wolf. Ours is the Bogey of Fear — fear for the future — fear of our own insufficiency — fear of the workings of Fate. And this mental fear is infinitely more terrifying and destructive than that based on mere physical grounds. At college, confidence is essential in all activities . . . The middle on the Red line has to feel sure that he is capable of charging through his tough Varsity opponents . . . the singer in the Revue must know that she can render her songs, more or less in tune . . . the three-mile runner has to have a certainty that his stamina will at least take him the distance . . . the first-year law student must somehow convince himself that he can secure a pass in Roman Law . . . and the romantic sophomore phoning R.V.C. must fortify himself with the thought that the lovely blonde freshette really wants to go with him to that tea-dance. . . . The same fundamental applies in business and professional life. Self-assurance — reasonable self-assurance — is vital and necessary. No orders were ever secured by timidity, no cases ever won, no articles ever sold. On the other hand, the rewards invariably go to those with inward courage and outward application. And it is reasonably certain that they always will! .- T.

This should be possible of accomplishment, as the require- ments are not as great as is generally supposed. The University authorities have indicated that they will give the site, and there is already a considerable sum of money earmarked for the building. The successful completion of this is an ob- jective in which each of the 10,000 graduates of McGill should have a keen interest. It is to be hoped that this, the first job of any considerable magnitude that the graduates have undertaken for the LIniversity, will be carried out with the success that all desire. If so, there will be no lack of enthusiasm at its completion, and the interest of the graduates in their Alma Mater will be increased so as to form a still greater asset for a great institution. There is no question but that a gymnasium is urgently needed if the work of the LIniversity is to be carried on properly — there is no question but that this presents a unique op- portunity for the graduates to be of great service to their Alma Mater. 362 SECURITY FIRST HEAD OFFICE IN CANADA : Puce darmes, MONTREAL TORONTO WINNI PEG VANCOUVER QUALITY DEPENDABILITY LONG SERVICE These are the reasons why Jenkins Canadian-made Valves are firsl choice of t-ngineers wherever there are fluids, air. steam, jias.ele.. to he conlrolh d.

The output of Canadian central stations in December was 6.7 per cent, greater than the previous record reached in November, 1929. The progress of the electrical industry is based on service. In hundreds of ways — from lighting a small lamp to driving a huge motor — electricity is proving itself to be the reliable, economical source of power. The progress of G-E products is also based on service — service to hundreds of thousands of users in the business and home life of Canada. Rigid tests and scientific methods of manufacture ensure the high service value of these made-in-Canada products bear- ing the well-known G-E monogram. Whether it is a tiny lamp for your home, or complete electrical equipment for a plant — look for the G-E monogram on everything electrical — it is your guarantee of quality.

Sir .Arthur ' s work in developing the physical side of the university must not be forgotten. When he took over the reins of olifice McGill ' s funds and resources were sadly depleted, and he devoted his energies first to a campaign for funds tliat netted S6,200,000, and in later years towards securing special grants that enabled the university to make noted progress in several fields of endeavor. During the principalship of Sir Arthur the Pathological Building, the Biological Building, the Pulp and Paper Institute, the new Moyse Hall, the Neurological Institute, the Field House, and an extension to the Library have been built; the Arts Building was remodelled, the Roddick Memorial Gates constructed; a new wing added to R.V.C.; the Institute of Parasitology set up at Macdonald College; a residence acquired for the principal, and new laboratories and libraries set up in several buildings. This brief outline of the changes that have come to pass at McGill in a little over a decade may serve to indicate something of the progress made under Sir Arthiu- Currie. But it cannot even suggest the great influence exerted by his strong personality both within and without its walls. The number of students who came under Sir Arthur ' s influence, the numbers whom he attracted to McGill, and the extent to which he made the university known at home and abroad, will probably never be fully realized, but his spirit will live at McGill long into the years to come. When the Board of Governors made the ap- pointment in 1920 they stated that they desired a man who was great as an administrator, leader and organizer, who had an outstanding personality and who would serve to enhance the relations between the university and the com- munity. The years have shown how happy was their choice. Though Sir Arthur Currie has passed on to other fields, his memory will remain ever fresh at McGill, and the record of his work, as indi- cated in the progress thc.t the university made under his leadership, will stand for ever as testimony to his greatness as a man and as a principal. THE INVISIBLE SCIENCE ZJEHIND the merest bauble of liv- ing, says Alan Jackson, in telling the story of Canadian Industries Limited in the April issues of MacLeans, Canadian Home Journal and National Home Monthly magazines, is some- thing which may be translated into chemical terms. Your shoes have known chemistry in their manufacture, your wines in their aging or tobacco in its curing. This has always been so. It was true when man lived by raw materials alone and it is true today when increasingly he lives by synthetic materials. We urge every McGill man to read this very interesting story, which gives a vivid picture of an industry with which he is almost sure to come in contact when he steps into the world of business or professional endeavour.

The two-game series which resulted saw two wonderful machines battling for the right to enter the Eastern Canadian final. Moncton played a defensive brand of hockey which completely baffled the McGill outfit, and suc- ceeded in ' turning back the Red forces by the narrow margin of 3-1. McGill were forced to play wide open hockey in the second game of the ' series in an effort to regain the two goal deficit, and once again Moncton emerged with a 3-1 victory, taking the series by 6 goals to 2. The McGill squad will not soon be forgot- ten in the annals of hockey. Captained by Nelson Crutchfield, it boasted the Senior Group ' s two scoring aces, Hugh Farquharson and Ken Farmer, as well as such stalwarts as Jack McGill, Frank Shaughnessy, Jr., Gordon Meiklejohn, Allan Hall, Jean-Paul Elie, Tomm Robertson, Hollie McHugh, Maurice Powers, Fred Wigle and Bob McLernon, all of whom were outstanding in a season which will be remembered as one of the greatest in the history of McGill hockey. 374 Comphments of a Friend Comp tnents of J.
