Official Opening At Homecoming " A symptom of the effects of the capital freeze is that we now have official openings for renovation projects", said President Forster during Homecoming celebrat io ns October 2. He was speaki ng during t he ceremo nies marking th e reo peni ng of t he ren ovated home of the School of Agricultural Economics and Exten s ion Ed ucat ion .

The gracious Regency architecture of the building's exterior has graced the front campus si nce 1902, and its now-modern Interior provides comfortable offices and ef fi cient teaching spaces .

For most of its life, the building has been known to generations of students as the Biology building. Ken Hammi ll , OAC '51, a member of the Board of Governors, noted that the original building had cost

less than $100,000 while the renovations cost $990,000 .

Professor Eimer Menz ie, director of the Sch ool , commented in his remarks that the very substantial Investment in renovating the bui lding constituted a vote of confidence in the School and its program. He noted that his arrival on the campus had coincided with the beginning of the work, and he paid tribute to his pre­ decessor, Professor Sandy Warley, and other members of the faculty for their role in planning the changes.

Professor Clay Switzer, Dean of OAC, cut the ceremo nial ribbon to reopen the bui lding. Dean Switzer traced the develop­ ment of teaching and research programs in agricultural economics and in extension education on the Guelph campus.

John A . Molde nhauer, col lections librarian at the University library, fee ls t hat Alma Mater Fund grants to the library should be used to pu rcha se "someth in g just a little bit special ."

W ith this in mind , it's not surpris ing that John's mental sensors started flash ing signals wh en, last July , right out of th e blue , he rece ived a call from Toronto from a Mr. Howard Pole. "I'd never heard of him nor h im of me", John exp lained, "but he owned a Guelph oriented t rade card co ll ec t io n that he fi g ured would be more appropriate ly located here o n campus and would I be interested."

John was very interested and $500 - part of a 1975 A lma Mater Fun d grant o f $2 ,000 to the li brary - has been invested in the 183-item trad e card col lecti o n t hat is curren tl y avai lab le for in-h ouse study in the library's rare book room.

The assem bly of trade cards , most of wh ich are in colou r, is a co ll ec tion brought togeth er by my father , Frederick H. G .

Po le, d urin g h is early or boyhood years in th e 1880's . The collecti on , as It happened, had been stored awa y in such a manner d uri ng the g reater part of t he in terven ing years th at it has not been subject to al l the norma l destruc ti ve processes and, because of th is, is st ill in exce llent condi ­ t ion after nearly o ne hundred years.

I believe that thi s collect ion is quite uni q ue in nature and in scope .

It appears th at the trade card , duri ng the decade of t he 1880's , was the o nl y readily avai lab le medium wh ic h , at modera te cos t . permitted the advertiser to take advan tage of the use of f ul l colou r.

The co lo urs were of ten rich , sometimes opulent, o fte ntim es crisp and spark ling but , just as often, quiet and so ft.

Th e trad e cards were pu t in th e hands of the pub lic not as purely descriptive ad­ verti sin g material but were goodw ill gifts

possessing intrinsic merit as objects of art or to be otherwise prized .

The collection speaks eloquently and nostalgically of those years before the turn of the century when life was much simpler and the pace slower.

My father was born in 1875 at Mitchell, Ontario, and the famil y, a few years later, moved to Rockwood near Guelph where he attended school during his middle school years. A little later still the family moved to Toronto. It was during the school years at the little town of Rock­ wood that my father began collecting colourful trade cards put out by manu­ facturers and the trades in the surrounding areas . This then became for him an active hobby .

The cards of the Rockwood period rep­ resent industry or trades in Guelph, Woodstock , Clinton, Brantford , Hamilton, London and Chatham. A substantial part of the collection originating in this part of the country relates to the organ building industry of mid-western Ontario . This may partly be explained in that, as I have been given to understand , the Guelph area at that early date was the largest and most important organ building centre on the North Amer ican continent.

There are a number of cards collected during that part of the decade spent in Toronto, which indicate a concentration of business in the King Street area and on Yonge Street . Further east, Oshawa , Bowmanville , Kingston and a town in the Province of Quebec are represented .

A separate part of the collection is of material originating in Boston, Mass . This is as a result of holiday trips by my father to visit a relative living in that city which had the effect of widening the collector 's field. The nature of this part of the collec­ tion differs somewhat and includes hotels , theatres, as well as retail stores, restaurants and somewhat more exotic consumer products.

The cards in the collection have been printed by the early lithographic process .

Early lithography required that the image or design that was to be printed or reproduced be drawn by hand directly on a prepared slab of stone by an artist using spec ial materials . The pri nted piece was then made directly from the stone to which had been applied printing ink of the desired colour . This process required skill and artistry of a high order on the part of those engaged in the work. Lithography, newly arrived, vitalized the printing industry and opened wide new fields for the use of printed material.

The collection, I think , must speak clearly for itself and of what it is capable of representing . One may regard the collection from an aesthetic po int of view entirely or one may think of it h istori cally.

It is extremely interesting as an index of social conditions or of the economic conditions of this time . One may regard the appearance on the scene of the kind of material that makes up this collection as

one of the most important landmarks in the history of communications by print , or one may simply use the collection as a point of orientation in the life and philosophy of today .

I think my father as a bo y, when collecting these cards , believed he was

undertaking somethin g i mportant, though qu ite likely he would not have been able to de fine just what th at m ight be. Perh aps he may have fe lt that he was gat hering up b its of the life of those times - small sli ces of l ife to be kept and treasured , that could too easily and too soon vanish . ['

Fabricated Foods

by Mary Coc;vera Foods fabri cated from plant prote ins occupy a growing portion of the Canad ian diet and co uld help ease wo rl d food s hort­ ages . " Canada has an enormou s poten ti a l to produce and proce ss plant prote ins," says Professor Dave Stanley . " At the Department of Food Scien ce, we are carry­ ing out research whi ch coul d sti m ulate the utilization and process ing of pl ant protein s . Can ada alread y prod uces a great quantity of pl ant protei n, bu t m ost is sold in unprocessed f orm . We ho pe our resear ch will enco urag e development of a processing ind ustry so th at plant prot ei ns can be sold or exp orted as foo d products. " Why the em phasi s on vegetable protein ? Prot ein defi c iency and cal oric shortages are t he major ca use of maln utri­ ti on in thi rd w orld cou ntries . A ni mal prote in foo ds are expensive an d animals are not very eff icien t at con vert ing agr icul tura l fee ds into meat protein .

Because ve getable prote ins are relatively inex pen s ive an d can be processed into a

wi de variety of finish ed prod ucts , they have th e pote ntial of alleviati ng malnutri­ t ion in many part s of the world.

Focusing on three m ai n areas - raw material, finished foo d prod ucts , an d processing methods - thi s research effort cove rs th e ent ire s pectrum of fo od proce ssing from the fa rm field to the superm arket shelves . Dr . Stan ley wo rks closely with Profess or John de Man, Food Science , and with Un iversity cro p scientists.

Professor Jack Tanner, OAC '57 , Crop Sc ien ce, is current ly doi ng a feasib ility st ud y on pea nut s as a commercial cro p in Ontario. "We are encouraged by our y ie lds, but we stil l have some problems to overco m e in weed co ntro l an d harvesting.

Our feas ibility st udy wou ld enable us to make a decision by next year ."

"Early stu dies of vegetable pro tei ns showed the m to be of low er qual ity th an anima l proteins , but no w w e know that mixtures of protei ns from different plant

Tho se whi ch cann ot be man ufactured by the bod y are call ed es sent ial ami no acids . A n imal prote ins cont ain a fu ll com pl ement of th ese essent ial am ino acids , while protein f ro m vegeta b le sourc es may lack suff icient quantities of on e or several. By com b ining ve getable proteins, each lo w in different essen t ial amino aci ds , a good prote in bal an ce can be achieved . Altern ati ve ly, vegetable pro teins can be forti fied with individual am ino ac ids , w hich are now synthesi zed on an indu strial scale.

Many vegetab le protei ns contai n potentially to xic facto rs w h ich must be re m oved be fo re being consum ed by hu m ans . Curre nt research exp lores diff ren t methods of detoxifyin g the se fac tors. "We have devel op ed a rn icro wave treatm ent suit ab le for soy beans and rape­ seed," says Dr. Stan ley.

Fabricated foods probab ly make up a higher portion of the North Ameri can d iet th an we real ize . Ve getab le prot ein exte nders are rou ti nel y add ed to so me pre­ pared so ups, stew s and meat pies. So y infant form ul a is so ld co mm erc iall y as a sub stitut e fo r cow' s milk. Snack fo od s such as corn ch ip s , baco n b its an d cheese flavored curl s are fab ri cat ed foo ds . Add -to­ hamburger produ ct s of ten contain mi xtu res of spices an d plan t protein ex­ tenders .

Text ure is one of th e most important pro pert ies o f fab ri cated foo ds and much of t he r searc h effort in food sci ence is devoted to deve lo p in g process ing meth ods w hic h will im part th e type o f ch ewy text ure desired for th e various foo d prod ucts.

Food s fab ric ated from vegetabl e pro teins and other ingred ients are here to stay in t he Nort h Amer ican diet; the ir number and variet y increas ing every year .

They also seem su ited to protei n-deficient diets because th ey can be made into a var iet y of sh apes and textures . Research effo rt s here at the Universi ty will help en sure that these food produ cts are palatable, nutri t ious, safe , and reaso nably priced . 0

Howa rd Charles Clark , 47 , came to t he Un ivers ity as Vice- President, A cadem ic, August 1, succeedin g J . Percy Smith.

Dr. Cl ark , a research ch em ist with broad academ ic experi ence , has been professor an d head of the Departm ent of Chemistry at t he University of Western Ontar io for nine year s , and is a professor in the Depart ment o f Ch emis t ry here .

In mak in g the announcement of the appointment Presi de nt Forster st at ed, "This Univers ity is fortunate to have attrac ted a Can ad ian scholar of inter­ national rep utat ion and with a proven record as an academic administrator for the position of vice-president, academic. " Dr . C lark, wh o was ho nored with an SC .D. from Cambridge in 1972, has published over 175 research papers and has developed one of the finest c hemistry departments in Canada . At the same time he has played a leading role on provincial, national, and international committees and boards, the Pres ident continued . " I am sure th at Professor Clark will be we lco med by the Un iversity community and t hat he w ill be an able successor to Professor Smith who has contributed so much to Guelph during his six year s as vice­ president. " Born and educated in New Zealand , Professor Clark earned his Bachelor's degree (1951) , Master's degree (1952) , and Doctorate (1954) from the University of New Zealand. While a lecturer there, he was awarded a National Research Fellow­ ship enabling him to undertake doctoral studies at Cambridge, receiving a Ph .D. in 1958.

In 1957 Dr . Clark came to Canada to join the faculty of the University of British Columbia. He was ele cted a Fellow of the Chemical Institute of Canada in 1962 and by 1964 had been promoted to the rank of full professor at U.B .C. The following year he went to Western as a senior professor of inorganic c hemistry and in 1967 he became head of the department . He received the Noranda Lecture Award of the Chemi cal Institute in 1968 and was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada in 1975.

At Western, Dr. Clark's admini strative activities have included chairmanship of the operations agenda committee responsible for the overall operation of Senate , the internal appraisals committee of the Faculty of Graduate Studies and a joint University Faculty Association com­ mittee on merit salary policy.

Outside his own University, Dr . Clark was founder and first chairman of the Council of Canadian Universities' Chemistry Chairmen. He has been a member of the advisory committee on academic planning (ACAP) of the Ontario Council of Graduate Studies and has helped draft many ACAP reports . He is a past chairman of the chemistry grant selection committee of the National Research Council and has played a part in

Academic site evaluation of negotiated development grant application s. In past years he took part in the appraisal of Ph.D. programs in chemistry in the State University system of New York and he has acted as external appraiser for the departments of chem istry of Sir George Williams, Windsor , and Simon Fraser. He has also been a con­ sultant to industry and has frequently been

invited to lecture on topics in organo­ metallic chemistry at national and inter­ national scien.tific conferences.

His editorial work includes member­ ship on the editorial board of several scientific publications , and he is currently ed itor of the Canadian Journal of Chemistry. Supervision of graduate work has led to six M.Sc. theses, 18 Ph.D.

theses and publicat ions in collaboration with 25 post-doctoral fello ws. He currently holds a three-year grant fro m th e National Research Council.

Dr. Clark is married to the former Isabel Joy Dickson of Auc k land , New Zealand, and they hav e two daughters , Carolynn, 15, and Kr istin, 8 . He, and his family have settled into temporary accom­ modation on Univers ity A venue, and plan to explore the housing situation further during the next few months . Uprooting a teen- aged girl can be traumati c, but he anticipates that his older daughter's mis­ giving about moving will vanish as she meets new friends.

Dr. Clark 's top priority , following his arrival on campus , was to meet as many faculty as possible - regular faculty members, depa rtment chairmen and deans. He explains that "the administra­ tive process has to be one in which I have direct contact with faculty members. W it h­ out it, I won't get a good feeling for what is going on and I have a concern for the individual faculty member . If I rely on wh at comes through the chain , it can easily get distorted."

After spending many days in OAC departments, he reports that he's " impressed ." "There is a good mi x of bas ic and applied research, and t he ac t ivit y goes right through to extension where Uni­ versity people are directly involved with the community across the province ."

He has discovered an "unusual commitment" to an international perspective throughout the University. "It is quite clear that there is much dis­ cussion, awareness, and partiCipation in international programs right at the faculty level."

Dr. Clark squeezed an interview into his busy schedule recently, and sat just long enough for the following questions and answers .

Q - Will your scientific training effect your approach to administration?

a chemist working within a univer­ sity, I've had to use all these services .

Through wo rk w ith ACAP and internal appraisals committees at W estern, I've learned a great deal abo ut th e way in which art s departments in general tend to operate. I t h ink I have a feeling for the differences in outlook."

Q - You have been associated with uni­ versities in a nu mberof d iff erent cap acities. How have you r perspec­ ti ves changed wi th each new p os t?

A - One gets a broader ou t look. The in­ dividual faculty m ember is inc lined to see the problems just where he is in the university . An administrator gets a feeling for the overall problems . He becomes aware of what other groups on campus are up against in carrying out their jobs .

Q - While V. P. will you teach? Will you do research?

A - I do not intend to teach initially. Per­ haps in a year or two I'll do some teaching. I'm determined to keep some research going. My research laboratory is scheduled forcomple­ tion by the end of the month.

Q - Does a university provide a goo d atmosphere for research?

A - Yes , in the sense that it attempts to make the right facilities available. On the other hand , it is more and more difficult for faculty members to do re­ search. With budget cuts , their teaching loads increase and they be­ come more involved in running the university. I sense here and else­ where that faculty are becoming in ­ creasingly concerned about the lack of time to do research. In addition, reductions in the number of graduate students in some disciplines means that facu Ity mem bers have fewer re­ search collaborators.

Q - What is needed to encourage re­ search?

A-

A-

"I'm a person. That fact is probably more important than the training I have. However, I probably have more awareness than a person from the arts side of the campus of such things as accounting, purchasing, personnel, and safety procedures. As

We definitely need an influx of government money to encourage more research , but this will come only when the government is convinced it is politically desirable .

That will take a great deal of time and effort, but it will come ultimately.

Will univers i ty priorities change in the next decade?

A - In rec ent years peo ple in universi t ies have been preoccupi ed w ith grow th - perhaps because o f the meth od of funding . In the ne xt f ive to ten yea rs , we will have to concern o urselves w ith aca de mic excellence and improving q ua li ty . A s better people come int o un ive rsi ty, the fac ul t y who are already there have to sh ow their worth too. They will be expected to perform - to contribute in teach­ ing an d research - at the new level of excell en ce .

Q - Will th e role of universities change?

A - People with in the un ivers iti es w ill have to take more time to relate to people outside , bo th in the immediate com munity and inter­ nationally. We have been lax­ especially since World War II - in telling people what goes on within universities. There w as no in ce ntive foi' it. The funds pou red in and we just assumed that higher education was a good thing. Now we have to move in the other direction, both through formal channels, such as continuing education programs, and informally. People in universities have to devote a fair amount of t im e to telling people outside just what they 're doing .

Q - What major differences do you see between the University of Western Ontario and the University of Guelph?

A - Western and Guelph are two different types of universities. Western­ 'partly because of its geographical position relative to Toronto - strives to be a very general type of university.

It has a little of everything. Guelph , on the other hand, is concentrating in particular areas. I think this is the right way to go. We don't need to have ali universities trying to cover all discipiines.

Q -

Since the students have returned and academic and extracurricular activities have begun , Dr. C lark is getting to know more and more about campus activities and just what it is that makes the University of Guelph a stimulating and al ive institution.

Get caught up in the myste ries of nat ure 足 flowers and trees, water and wildlife 足 without leaving the city limits. Enjoya family hike alon g the Victori a Woods nature trails at t he Un ivers ity's Arboretum.

Natural ist Ala n Watson has deve loped a series of nature trails since he jOi ned the arboretum staff in May ; two trails are com足 pleted now with a third to be fini s hed next spring. You can cover one of the trai Is easily in a 40-minute lunch hou r, sa ys A Ian, or you can spend an hour o r two walking both trails and visiting the arboretum's collections of cultivated plants.

The woodland trails will take you through a pine stand, then a section of maple, ash and beech. You'll also see the "naturalized" man-made pond, says Arboretum Curator John Ambrose .

Excavated in the fall of 1973, it has since become the nesting place for wild geese, mallards and blue winged teal.

During a hike at the arboretum you'll certainly see squirrels and chipmunks and a variety of birds. If you're lucky , you could see muskrats and perhaps even a deer.

Trees and other plant specimens are labelled with both the common and botanical names. Flowers and shrubs are labelled when they flower and bear fruit.

You could take the same hike every two weeks and see something different each time.

In addition, a trail guide brochure provides histories of plants and wildlife, explaining their relationships in the environment.

When completed, the third trail will include a boardwalk to take hikers over a wet , swampy area, adding yet ano th er dimension to th e numerous natural environme nt s in th e woods.

Vi sitors are welcome to wa nder the trails year-roun d . Dr. A mbrose pOints o ut an appointment is not necessary except for large groups and those w ishing a gu ided tour. You might wan t to stop at t he Arboretum Cen tre however, to pick up brochures which explain t he trails and collections.

The arboretum trails are supp o rt ed by a grant from the Ontario Minist ry of t he Environment , a grant w hic h als o co vers research on a number o f enviro nmental concerns including gravel pit rehabilitation, pest control in wood y plants and use of waste products fo r so il improvement.

The Wellington Coun ty Board of Education is utilizing the nat ure trails , says Alan, as an integral part of its environmental science program.

There are plans to st art a sugar bush operation in the Victoria Woods, a project that would stress the historical aspect s of sap collection and the various methods of producing maple syrup. But, that, along with turning some of the nature trails into cross-country ski trails, would be a winter project.

The arboretum staff in vites visi tors to use the trails freely to walk, th ink and enjoy the wonders of nature. 0

They slep t in the heart of Lond on in the modern surroundings of the posh May Fair Hotel and hit th e othe r extre me when they kicked off thei r s hoes at the Lygon Arms Hotel in the Co t swolds. There they laid their weary heads on pi 1I0ws that graced beds in chambers once occu pied by Oliver Crom well himself while on his way to do battle in Worchester in 1651.

Blessed with good weather until their eighth day, they ran into rain in the Lake District (rather appropriate) and ran into more when they crossed t he border into Bonny Scotland - whe re they were advised that it wasn't really rain, just some of that good old Scotch mist.

The group spent its first night in Scotland in ancient splendour but modern comfort at Dalhousie Castle , Bonnyrigg, and two days later bid farewell to the "land 0 ' the heather" when they climbed aboard the famous "Flying Scotsman" for a quick trip back to London. Two nights in the old city for a stroll around Picadilly Circus and a farewell supper at Simpsons on the Strand and they were into their 17th day足 time to go home. 0
