DEDICATION SIX GREAT YEARS! As a tribute to Brother Bates’ term of office, we, the thirtydourth grad ' uating class of Vancouver College, respectfully dedicate the i960 Collegian to him. We do not feel that we can cover adequately his accomplishments in the short paragraph of a Dedication, nor can we fully con ' vey our feelings of gratitude and admiration. Throughout the book will be found references to his work among us students. We cannot begin to indicate his impact on the Catholic life of the city of Vancouver through his numerous speaking engagements and his work as a founder of the Catholic Teachers’ Associa- tion. While acknowledging his contribution to campus expansion — notably the building of Mackin Hall and the reconstruction of the playing field — we do not wish to underestimate his more intangible accomp ' lishments directed to the development of character. These things will be symbolized as you turn the pages of the book. 4

This symbolizes the encouragement and aid given to Brother Bates by the hierarchy. Archbishop Duke, whose enthusiasm is illustrated below while exhorting the captains previous to the annual game for the Archbishops ' Trophy, reaches the same peak in all he does for Vancouver College.
