i 1 SAMUEL f WILLIS PROWSE BA., M.D.. F.R.C.S. 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

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

Harbottle H E Senior championship Hockey Trophy, which the Arts faculty was striv- ing to obtain for the second successive year, has gone elsewhere this year. Only three of last year's team were back again this year and as a result the teams were rounded out by the last years junior players and by freshmen. The team was placed at somewhat of a disadvantage due to the fact that several Varsity Junior games were played on the night of inter-faculty games and thus three regu- lar players were able to take part in only half ' ti ' . ll ee the scheduled games. However, even at that the team only missed the play-offs by one point. The activities of the Junior team did not meet with as much success as the efforts of the seniors. but even though they were unable to win any of their scheduled matches, they succeeded in keeping the number of goals scored against them to only two. Most of their matches resulted in scoreless ties. The members of this team will add much to the possibility of a successful senior team next year. Page Setcnlyferghl
