The irst duty of this group was to see that the Arts track meet and tennis tournament was run off on schedule. After Christmas, Hockey, Basketball, and Curling presented'their problems, but all obstacles were passed with precision and fine organization. The Arts Girl's Athletic Banquet, under the management of Kay Young, president of the Coun- cil, Was the culmination of a splendid year of Arts Vv'omen's Athletics. Great credit is due the council for the way they adapted themselves to a reduced budget without curtailing their activities to any great extent. LTHOUGH. because of the depression. there was a scarcity of girls for Arts Hockey this year, the seniors, with only eight players. struggled along, and at the date of writ- ing have lost three and won three games. Noth- ing to Write home about, to be sure, but our coach, Les Cannon, seems well pleased with us. so why worry. The Juniors, coached by Murray Turner. played no interfaculty hockey due to the lack of funds in other faculties. However. they played four games against the Northern Light, a high school team, and succeeded in winning the final game. Page Seuenly-seven

This l-all saw a keenly contested Golf Tournament, organ- ized with .i record entry and some oustanding play. Tennis. loo. proved so popular. and so large was the entry, that the courts were snowed in before the finals came to a close. Such enthusiasm as this shows, is the most creditable side of our entire program. The Arts Tracls Nleer. though receiving very slight support. managed to produce material which won for Arts more points in the Interffaculty Meet than we can remember having gar- nered since the year of the great snow. when the hluebirds flew lxaelswards. Thus with such an auspicious start, Airs entered into the lnterefaculty competition with unbounded hopes. Not having sullicient interest shown in Soccer to warrant the entry of two teams. a Senior contingent went through the series with some success. Although not bringing home the bacon, they made a very good showing indeed. The Hoclsey season was entered upon with lseen interest being shown, and every place on both senior and iunior teams being -:'-usely contested at all times. Arts could he counted up n to give .1 good account of themselves, and we ioticed with pleasure that several Arts men were on the pluclsy Var- sity squad which made such a good showing, Unfortunately, due to the loss of one or two o'cl stand-bys. the season came to a close without a championship being win. llowever, even greater enthusiasm was shown in the lnter-year games. which were run ofl' very successfully. Basketball once again provided a real threat from Arts. the seniors dropped the play-offs by but a few points. whi'e the juniors also acquitted themselves with credit. XVe were also pleased to see a number of Arts baslsetballers on the championship Junior and Senior Varsity teams. Curling. which each year Ends many new and enthusiastic supporters. was no exception this year and interest and com- petition were keen. Great credit is due to those rinlts which made such a une showing in the city bonspiel. This year we were exceptionally proud of the swimming team which represented us in the newly formed lnter-faculty swimming contest. which was run off in conjunction with the Manitoba Swimming Associations Spring Gala. RTS DEBATING this vear got away to a good start with a social evening and debate in con- yunction. After this event a further group of debates were planned which for one reason or another failed to materialize. The first debate of the second term was. owing to very in- clement weather. rather poorly attended. and those who did brave the elements certainly heard a very forceful presentation of a topic which has held a very prominent place in the minds of local citizens. This ycar's executive is sure that Arts De- bating has not once fallen below its high standardgand wish next years executive much success. Page Seventy-si'.r

CEdin.D, F.A.C.S., LL.D., 1869 - 1931 To whom this Volume of the Brown and Gold is respectfully dedicated NIVERSITY is not a thing of bricl-is and mortar, lordly buildings and spacious campus. Without men these are less than nothing. And the late Dean Prowse was a man. He came from that home of men. the Maritime Pro- vinces, where he received his medical education. both undergraduate and post-graduate. Coming West in 1898, he became associated with the Manitoba Medical College in 1900, but it was on his return from overseas in 1917 that he began the work that was to have such far-reaching consequences for the Medical School and the University, In that year. while still in France, Dr. Prowse was appointed Dean of the Medical College. At that time the school was a private institution with limited accommodation, equipment and staff. Few of those now connected with the College realize the time and energy devoted by the new dean to the task of raising the school to a position equal to that of the best on the continent. Largely as a result of these labors the Medical College in a few years possessed an assured revenue, an adequate library, a suitable staff and a university standing. The climax of his efforts came in l9Z3, when the college received a class A rating. But those knowing Dr. Prowse think not so much of his achievements as of the man himself. There was something of the antique and classical about him. Cast in the Roman mould. like Brutus or Cato, a man with an old world courtesy. abso- lute straight forwardness, and high nobility of character. He never spared himself: even when mor- tally ill his greatest interest and abiding passion was the welfare of the school which he had helped so mightily to build. Of himself he never seemed to give a thought. ' And thus he bore without abuse The grand old name of gentleman. WILLIAM BOYD. Page One
