I-leaded hy Chancellor liric Hamher and Presi- dent MacKenzie, the nine-man Board of Governors is the final court of appeal and the top policy-making hotly in university affairs. And somehow, despite wrestling with a multi-million dollar program, ponder- ing requests ranging from athletic scholarships to PRESIDENT NORMAN A. M. MacKENZlE, C.M.G., M.M. AND BAR, K.C., B.A., LL.B., LLM., LL.D., D.C.L., F.R.S.C., this university's favorite man from Pugwash, Nova Scotia, completed his sev- enth term as the guiding power of UBC last year, and took up permanent a b o d e with his family in the brand new white house on the tip of Point Grey. 25221 i I A.-.uf- w A, f courses in organ grinding. they managed to keep Ul5C's how headed into the waves and make almost everyhody satisfied that higher education hasn't foundered yet.
