ARTS SENIOR HOCKEY Buff: Row- B. Scott R. Davis Nl. Turner L. Cannon from Ilouff J. Jackson A. Johnson B. XVoods L. Harbottle ARTS JUNIOR HOCKEY Back Roux- J. Carmichael J. Hassard rl. Plaxton XV, Courts G, Dylter Front RULUY J. Young M. Tully C. Atchesnn R. Breen C. Mac.-Xrrhur Fl, Lawrence L. 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

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

Elliott G. Yullcr M, Schofield HIS year, the track team, with the aid of a few dark horses in the farm of freshmen, was pulled out of the lowly position it has occupied for some years, to stand fourth. The point winners, Pfelfer, Purdy and Hay, cer- tainly showed their ability, the latter two being selccted for the University Track team. With these men and recruits from the prospective freshman class we look forward to another successful year. A U HIS year the Arts Co-eds again dominated at the Inter-faculty meet by carry- ing off the championship with a total of thirty- two points and breaking the only two co-ed records. Gertrude Fuller tied for the individual champion- ship, winning the 60-yard sprint, placing third in the 100 yards and winning the 220 to lower the previous record by one and one-fifth seconds. Mary Cooperband won the baseball throw, breaking the record by more than thirty feet, Another premier performer was Evelyn Blankstein, who placed sec- ond in each of the three weight events. As a proof of their ability on track and field four of the girls made positions on the U.M.S.U. team and were by no means in the background. With plenty of excellent material on hand the arts co-eds are looking forward to annexing another championship next year. Page Sevenly-nine
