Headed by psychology professor Dean F. Chant, faculty consists of Commerce, Physical Education, Home Economics and Arts. It was the first part of the university in the days of the Fairview shacks. Probably the best known of all the professors in the Arts part of the faculty is Professor Earle Birney. Former Ed- itor-in-Chief of the Publica- tions Board in 1926, Dr. Birney started hitting Can- adian headlines when he was bounced from UBC because of editorial policy of the then Weekly Ubys- sey. Since that time he has written a consid- erable amount of poetry of which the best known is 'Davidf His first book on the life of a private in the Canadian Army was published last year. Heading the Phy- sical Education de- partment is w e ll known athlete Bob Osborne, who is also president of the Canadian Athletic As- sociation. His department got a big boost when the Wzir Memorial Gymnasium was finished this year. Complete change-over to the new offices in the million dollar gym, however. will DOI take place till the start of the term. One of the postwar schools on the campus is the Home Economics. In its ninth year as a course at UBC. Home Ec. has grown to one of the largest of its kind in Canada. Early in Ianuary, President MacKenzie made it a School with Professor C. S. Black in charge. For the past year the school has been supervising diets of 2,000 students who eat meals on the campus. F. H. SOWARD, B.A., B. Litt. lOxonl F.R.S.C. Director of International Studies

6.4.40 6 W. fl. ' f 'CKAL 614, I am glad to have an opportunity to extend greetings to the graduates of 1951. The past six years have been exciting and strenuous ones for all of us connected with the University, students and staff alike. A great deal has been accomplished in the physical sense and a great deal, too, I be- lieve, in other ways as well. I am sure that the young men and women who have been students here during those years have contributed a good deal to the University and to each other, and have carried away with them not only a certain amount of knowledge and understanding, but what is more important, a conviction that things can be done for themselves and their families and their country, if men of goodwill and intelligence work together, in a spirit of tolerance and understanding, for such things. Internationally, the prospect is far from promising and it seems certain that much of our thought, our energy, our resources and our wealth must be diverted from creative and constructive developments to problems of defence and security. I wish it were otherwise, but I see no escape from a continuing period of struggle and sacrifice. I only hope that all of us, and, more particularly, those of you who are young and about to enter upon your careers, will have the necessary courage and per- severance in respect of these sacrifices, and, more important, the intelligence and the determination necessary to maintain and develop our country and our society in ways that iustify our efforts and our sacrifices. Norman MacKenzie
