JOHN G. BOURNE, Chairman of the Board of Governors 196Os64 ln times of change and challenge Selwyn House has always been fortunate in having the right person to guide its destiny. The spring of 1961 was such a time, and we were fortunate indeed to have John Bourne as the newly elected Chairman of the Board of Governors. The challenge before the school was whether to accept many risks and boldly move up to the rank of a full-fledged preparatory school, or continue in the more comfortable role of a day school, rich in academic tradition, but whose boys of necessity moved on to other schools for final university prepa- ration. John Bourne had the courage to move forward. There were many facets to his leadership: the vision to see the challenge and the courage to accept it: the ability to crystallise agreement amongst his associates: the capacity to organise for action: the energy to see that the difficult was accomplished on time. Since 1961, as the new course of the school became clear, John Bourne, by his continued enthusiasm, enabled Selwyn House to quickly consolidate its new position. While fewer and fewer remember the old school on Redpath Street, we and those who follow will always be grateful to Chairman Bourne, who gal- vanized us into action, and set the stage for the current chapter in the long history of the school. There is the tide in the affairs of men, which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune . . . H.H.N.
