Guelph Alumnus Magazine, Calendar Issue 1980 by University of Guelph

Picture yourself at the

University of Guelph

At the University of Guelph, we believe that you do your best work when you're enjoying yourself. Most of our students agree. Here are some comments from a few of them about what has created for each one the particular "chemistry" of the Guelph experience. "Stay fit-go for a swim or sign up for an intramural basketball,

soccer, volleyball or hockey team." "Use the modern library足 there's no shortage of reading matter to further your understanding." "Go to the many feature movies that come to our campus." "Enrol in a program to improve study or writing skills." "Congregate at the University Centre ... that's what it's for. It's a great place to meet students from all parts of the campus." "Dine at one of the many on-campus coffee shops, cafeterias or restaurants." "Go to a rock concert or a disco." "Meet new friends." This can happen almost

anywhere. Often it happens when going to class or whi Ie studying in the library. Sometimes it happens at the pubs. Mostly it happens when it's least expected! "Attend a lecture, a concert, a play, an intercollegiate football, hockey or basketball game." "Stay in May for the Guelph Spring Festival." "Participate in the student足 organized open house-College Royal." "Go for a five-mile jog in the country." The possibilities are endless wherever you happen to be on campus. Take our University Centre ... it's not only a great place to meet people but a multi足 purpose facility that offers something for everyone. Around the Courtyard, a wide variety of shops and services serve the students' every need. You'll find a travel agency, central box office, hair styling shop, bank, post office, typing room, showers, lockers, mail boxes, cafeteria outlets and a co-op shop. Facilities for relaxation include "The Brass Taps" with its rustic Canadian decor and full bar and sandwich service, a fully equipped games room, a meditation room, a peaceful chapel, a graduate student lounge, a quiet reading room, a music practice room and more! If you're sports minded, the Department of Athletics provides extensive programs for everyone i ncl ud ing intercollegiate competition with top calibre coaching and excellent training facilities. Whatever your interest, Guelph is an excellent setting for athletic, recreational and academic pursuits.

Datelines 1980

ith this special D atelines 1980 issue of the Guelph Alumnus come warm and sincere seasons greetings from your University of G uelph Alumni Association President Janice (Robertson) Partlow, Arts '70, from the D irector of Al umni Affairs and Development, John K . Babcock, OAC '54, and his staff, including myself, Derek 1. Wing, your editor, who hopes that

letters to the editor Dear Derek: Th anks for your leller of September 24 and for the extra copy of the last G uelph Al umnus. AClllally, I heard about "Candid Camera"from an ex-Mac girl at church before my copy arrived. We enjoy the "kidding" we get from some of the alumni members. One said "I thought you and Mike (Mike Dewan) went down to see the campus. September 14, 1909, 1 arrived at D.A .C - the first time I had ever been away from home alone. My home was at Shelburne and that day I left on the CPR about 8:00 a.m. Changed at Streets ville CPR to Fergus. Then CPR to Guelph arriving about 5:00 p.m. I was wearing a small sample of O.A.C colors I had received by mail with acceptance of my allendance. I was spotted by a '12 sophomore at Fergus and he filled me with rubbish on the way to Guelph. Among others things he emphasized was that we must be known by "Mr. " So when we were mel by some more of his friends he introduced me as "Mr. Noble." That handle stayed with me for a few weeks. In those days we did not require high school training for acceptance and you can piclllre the class of 128 at all stages of academic experience. We had afew class members who had been school teachers and some graduates from other faculties. I had never allended high school and didn't know

through the past year you've felt closer to your Alma Mater through the pages of the Guelph Alumnus. Just a little over a year ago, your Guelph Alumnus featured an article about the University's newly formed Liaison Committee, chaired by Dr. Jim Stevens, Assistant Vice-President, Academic. The article invited you to join the alumni liaison team and provide prospective students with information about the University. Many of you did, and Dr. Stevens is very appreciative of your efforts. H owever, your help is still needed. To this end the University's Liaison Committee has provided for your current issue a four-page cover in colour highlighting extracts from an informative and attractive brochure that it recently published. We are confident that, as dedicated goodwill ambassadors armed with the facL\ you'll spread the word and involve yourselves with the University's ongoing and all-important liaison program.

To work with alumni groups throughout Ontario, the University of Guelph Alumni Association has also established a Liaison Committee. C o足 ordinators have been appointed and alumni groups have been set up in Guelph, Hamilton, London, Oshawa, O ttawa, St. Catharines, and To ronto. Should you wish to become actively involved with anyone of the groups, please contact the Alumni O ffice . A personal touch, and a firs t for the Datelines issue, the messages from President Forster and th e De ans of our seven colleges (pages 6 to 9) bring the University family together at a time when, traditionally, families reunite. M aybe you've noticed the absence of the "Letters to the Editor" column in some past issues-no letters. Maybe that's good-at least no complaints. But when I ask a direct question I do get letters. O n the back cover of the Summerj Fall 1979 issue I asked " What Do You Think" of the new format. Some alumni thoughts are recorded below-the column is back in' Ed.

the meaning of chemistry or physics, so I often think of the patience of some of the faculty in trying to teach such a group. Everything considered, I feel that the four years at the O.A. C were the happiest four years of my life. So far as I know there are only five of class '13 left alive. "Bram" Bramhill was always been one of my good friends. Every time I see a picture of Jimmy Allen, '14, I remember some of our escapades when we roomed in "Upper Tower" in the old residence. Several episodes I could mention, some of which are not meant for a mix ed audience. I always enjoy Alumni Weekend and am hoping to attend nex t June.

Dear Mr. Wing:

I was prompted to write this leller after

reading the Summer j Fall 1979 issue of the

Guelph Alumnus . I was impressed by the

interesling mix of editorial content and Ihe

new format for the magazine.

Sincerely yours,

"Jack" Noble, OA C '13

* * * Dear Derek:

Thank you for sending me copies of the

Guelph Alumnus, Summer j Fall issue

1979.

I, [00, think that Jim Rusk did a fine

reporting job, and I have written thanking

him.

Thank you for all your trouble, and may I

congratulate you at the same time on the

new format ofyour publication.

With best wishes,

Yours sincerely,

Dear Mr. Wing: Your pictures of us sleepyheads in the last G uelph Alumnus were priceless. We just were exemplifying, as Macbe[h said, "Sleep that knits up the ravell'd sleeve of care." We have all had our share of care in our day. I will be 89 on October 15. Of the 100足 odd who entered class '13 in '09 there are only three left beside myself: John N oble, Ingersoll; Cyril Tregrillus, Safety H arbour, Florida; and Harry King of Victoria, B. C You ask me why I survived. Again Shakespeare in A Mids ummer-N ight's Dream: "I did not in my youth with unbashful brow woo the means of weakness or debilily. Neither did I apply hot and rebellious liquors to my brow. Therefore my age is as a lusty wimer; frosty but kindly. "

Professor Reynolds and "Gamey" Unwin

instilled in me a love of literature. I have

pursued it all my life. !I is a wonderful

asset.

Sincerely,

George Bramhill, OAC '13

Greetings from the President mmediately before us is not only the beginning of a new year Iushered but also the start of a new decade, the eighties. The seventies in a period of financial restraint for universities, creating uncertainty and a need for re-assessment of priorities. During the eighties, I am confident the soundness of our newly足 established goals will be confirmed. We will continue to look to the future with openness to new ideas and an ability to take new initiatives, avoiding the pitfalls of inertia which inhibit change. The collective strength of our alumni body can be a vital forc e during the cu rrent crisis, and I am confident of your continued support of the University. May I express my personal appreciation for your generous response to solicitations for both the 1979 Alma Mater Fund and our ongoing bequest program. I hope you will all enjoy a happy and peaceful holiday season.

DonaJd F. Forster President

1LFrom the Deans

The Ontario Agricultural College

am pleased to have this opportunity to communicate with you and to wish you the very best for the holiday season and throughout 1980.

The Ontario Agricultural C ollege in its several programs - B.Sc. (Agr.) , Diploma in Agriculture, B.Sc. (Eng.), B.L.A. and the graduate programs足 remains the largest academic unit on the University of Guelph campus with more than 2,700 students enrolled. Our graduates continue to find employm ent in their chosen field relatively easily and our undergraduates continue to dominate student activities on this campus. We were somew hat surprised by the shortfall in freshmen students in September 1979. However, the drop-off from the 400 we expected to about 350 was compensated for by an increase in the number of transfer students. It is difficult to know why fewer high school stude n ts elected to take Agriculture this year. However, we are increasing our liaison activities with the high schools and with the various agricultural groups across the province in an effort to ensure that all young people with an interest in the various phases of agriculture are aware of

our programs. In that regard , the help of all O. A.c. alumni is needed. I hope that each of you will take every opportunity that is presented to speak ou t about the importance of agriculture and food in today's world , and about the education that is available at the O .A.C. C ertain ly, the demand for our graduates continues and, indeed, the demand for those stu;d ents who choose to go on to take additional work towards a Masters or Ph.D. will be even greater in the future. I hope it will be possible for many of you to visit the campus during 1980. As you know, the O .A.C. Alumni Association continues to sponsor many events including th e A lumni Bonspiel, Alumni Golf Tournament, Alumni Seminar, and to participate in such even ts as Aggie Week and th e Joint Student- F acu lty Alumni Dinner. I look forw ard to communicating with you on a fairly regular basis through the m edium of th e O.A.C Alumni News and. of course. I encourage you to write to me about any matters that you feel will improve the programs of you r College. Dr: C. M . Switzer, O AC '5 1, Dea n Ontario Agricultural College

The Ontario Veterinary College he yea r 1979 has been a significant year in the O.Y.C.'s histo ry in a number of ways; life around the Co llege has by no mea ns been dull. I a m glad to report that, as a res ult of a federal / provincial provision amou nting to $346,000, toge th e r with a very generous pledge of $45 ,000 from th e O .V.c.

Al umni of the School of H otel and Food Ad ministration will be especially interested in the appointment of Profes sor T. F. Powe rs as D irector of the School.

The College of Arts

The College of Biological Science t this time of year many of us turn to thoughts of Chris tm as; we are a minority in the world 's population. Other gods at ot her times are worshipped , so metimes in si mil ar, but often in ot he r ways. Th e re is no need , however, for any group to be offended. Gods presumably are all -fo rgiving and can acce pt other beliefs. Unfo rtunately, man often cannot, a nd hence the world we see around us. Anyway, Christmas is a good tim e for man y things, Christi an and otherwise. It is a natural break ind uce d by our belief in a very "un biol ogica l" birth in th e Middle East at a tim e somew ha t vague. The break a llows a stock-taking of things past, and things we hope w ill come . In the last 12 months we have seen th e final set tling of the grow th of th e Colle ge or Bio logical Science.

Hard tim es, that is, for everybody but the oil companies, and likely to get worse for the universiti es beca use of a s hrinkage in the population from whi ch we draw. But there are good sig ns to read also, and there is more to prosperity th an mon ey. A sense of the worth of studie s in the Arts and Hum a nities is growing after a period o f mispl aced disenchan tment followi ng a period of false h o pe. It was false to hope in the '60s that degree studies were the sa me a s job training an d mispl aced to moan in the '70s that B.A.s were not get ting j obs. (In ciden tally , unemployment a m ong university graduates has always been lower than among any other groupl ) Perhaps we may now se ttle for something nearer the truth. Th e double benefit of study in the Arts and Humanitie s is the advantage of knowing and appreciating more and the enhanced quality of wh a t a graduate can do in any j ob. People change their "trade" so often in a life tim e that trade-trai ning tends to be restri ctive. Perh aps, too, the College has settled down, after a few years of shrinkage, to abo ut the size it needs to

he to sust a in its hi gh quality in learning and teachin g thro ugh th e period of expected e nrolmcnt declin e. T hi s yea r the C ollegc started what I hope will be an a nnu a l even t: an Academic Recognition Luncheo n. All pri ze-wi nners and all students named during the yea r to the Dea n's H o n o urs List were taken to lunch a t the Arb ore tum o n B.A. Con vocati on D ay. Prizes were awarded a nd the H onours List app lauded. Mia Anderson performed Jam es Harriso n's pri ze winning sonnets, " E ve's Version," and a trio from the D epartment of M usic, Sylvi a Hunter (p iano), Elizabeth Neufeld (soprano), and Director Stanley Saunders (cla rinet ) gave a brief conce rt. It was a very good occasion. N ext year we shall add scholarship ho lders to o ur guest list and fla unt a hit more of o ur faculty talent. Once, when as ked if r did not deplore th e seculariza tion of C hristmas, I said I thought Chris tmas was a pagan festival that had never be en successfully Christi an ized. So, whic h ever side yo u're on , a Merry Ch ristmas l And best wis hes from the faculty of the College of Arts to its alumni for 1980.

faculty are active and for the most part in com muni ca ti o n. We have faced up to cha nge - less funds to teach m ore, less interes t in uni versi ties as j ob placement agencies (for which I say a fe rv ent amen l ), an d increased teaching standards a nd expa nded research in all aspec ts of biology -from little "v" (viruses) passin g through such exotic species as the human, to the big "V" (vam pire bats). At the same time , the C. B.S. ha s been in the forefront provincially, na ti onally and interna tionally.

T he expected future~ M ore o f th e same, with more sac rifi ces by the teachin g units as they e ncounte r loweri ng support levels . But , fro m my experience, th e "good " faculty, th rough perso nal drive. wi ll still offer a n above average educa t ion to th ose who wish to learn . We expect to move o ur adva nced teach ing into o th e r countries - Argentina, Brazil, Guyana , Fran ce, Greece, Po la nd . Turkey, Algeria, and severa l Afri can and Fa r East Asian area s. We will watch with interes t o ur gra duat es' voca ti o na l opportul1lties. Th eir acc umul ated knowledge will no t be wasted. We expec t to see C.B.S. undergraduate students con tinuing to make contact w ith faculty and sta ff and, upon grad uatio n, j o in the outside unive rsity world. Yes - we expect some changes, but such changes mu st alw ays support the "good teacher," the qualified research worker, a nd the univ ersi ty足 minded mem ber of th e Co ll ege T his is as it always has been. As th e C.B .S. enters its ninth yea r, I would remind you that you are a n essential part of it, and to you all go our best wish es.

The College of Physical Science welcome this opportunity to co mmunicate with all alumni of the College o f Physica l Science. T he first B.A and B.Sc. graduates associated with the physical science departmen ts were graduates of W e llington College . It was a pleasure to see some of this group a t the We llingto n Co llege reunion dinner in June. July I, 1980, will be the tenth anniversary of the College of Ph ys ical Science . This first decade has been on e of re mark able growth with all four depar tm ents being heavil y involved in undergraduat e teaching. Chemistry and Physics now have well-developed M asters and Ph. D . programs and M a them atics and Statistics offers a Masters program. Thi s first decade is closing with modest enrolmen t d ecreases and se riou s constraints in provincial funding. Fortunately, th e Phys ical Sci ence

The College of Social Science t is a pri vilege to be offered space in the Guelph Alumnus Datelines iss ue for a few words of greeting from the College of Social Scie nce. The opportunity to provide a few words from the College is much appreciated. Perhaps because th e College of Social Science Alumni Assoc ia tion is ve ry new, ba re ly a yea r o ld , little has been WrItten abo llt LI S to date. W ith tim e, I tru st th a t will chan ge. To help rec tify the situ a tio n, may I begin by indica ting to th e University's older a lumni who we a re . We in th e Social Science alumni gro up are grad uates from the B.A progra m, ge nera l a nd hono urs, who have " majored" in o ne of th e Social Science are as. These areas are made up of Eco nomics (not Agri cultural Economics but just Econo mics). G eography, Po litica l S tudi es (some tim es called Political

departments attracted ex ternal re sea rch grants and co ntracts to ta lling abou t $ 1 milli on in 1979. A few hi gh li g hts in 1979 were the installation o f a three-million-volt Van de Graaff accelera tor ,in the Physics Departmen t for research in the field of particle-solid interactions ; the development in the Chemistry Department of an electroplating process for sem i足 conductors for use in the manufacture of solar cells; the co mm encement of work in the Depa rtment of Co mput ing and Inform a ti o n Science o n the development of a geo-referencing land mass info rm a tion model for the Ontario Ministry of N a tura l Resou rces ; and the appo intm en t of a new C hai rm an of M a th e ma ti cs and Statistics, Dr. W . R . Smith from Dalhou sie University Inte res tin g developments for 1980 a re the introd ucti o n o f new honours und erg rad ua te programs in Applied C hem istry a nd Appli cable M a th em a ti cs; the insta lla ti on of a new VAX II mini足 computer for interac tive computing by undergraduate studen ts; and the installation of a high-field nuclear magnetic resonance facility in th e Chemistry Department to serve the needs of universities in sou th ern Ontario. The College of Ph ysica l Science

Alumni Associati on was formed in 1975 and is functioning as the result of a great deal of effort by a small group of interested alumni. This year the CPSA A has established an in-course scholarship for stude nts en tering semester 5, an action th at will be grea tly appreciated by students of th e College. As time goes on, I am hopeful that more and more graduates will show increased interest in their Alumni Association. M y best wishes for ha ppiness in 1980, o ur 10th ann ive rsary year.

Science), Psychology and Sociology/ An thropo logy. We have been here since Guelph became a University but only lately has much been done to attempt to provide a separa te id e ntity for the various components of th e B.A. program. (In additi on to Soc ial Science students, the B.A. program is made up of students in th e H um an ities, that is , the C ollege of Arts, and so me in Mathema tics, Statistics, Computing and Information Science from the Co llege of Physical Science.)

In total numbers , th ere have been about 6,000 who have grad u ated from the B.A. program. Of these about half have come from the Social Sciences. In the past few years at each convocation, more students graduate in the Social Sciences than in the Hu manities so we are on the rise as a proportion of the to tal. The College of Social Science Alumni Association came into existence formally during the fall of 1978. Th e fir s t President, Michael J a mes, CSS '72, and th e Direc tors have, throug h hard work, m ade the presence of the Association felt in the world a t large. Earlier , Social Science alumni h eld imp ortant positions in th e University of Gu elph Alumni Association as University of Guelph alumni rather than College of Social Science alumn i. Peter Anderson, Well '68, fo r ins tance, was Uni versity of Guelph Alumni Association Pres iden t in [976. W e in the C o llege of Social Science look forward to producing a con tinuin g, perhaps increasing , fl ow of n ew recruits for Uni ve rsit y of Guelph alumni gro up s. For now, from a ll of us to a ll o f yo u, best wishes for co ntinuin g personal a nd g ro up prosperity.

The University of Guelph

has much to offer

coherent groups of courses and plenty of good advice but, in the end, we leave the choice to you.

Guelph offers degrees in Arts, Science, Human Kinetics, Fam ily and Consumer Studies, Engineering, Veterinary Medicine, Landscape Architecture, Agriculture, Hotel and Food Administration, as well as the Associate Diploma in Agriculture. By correspondence you can qualify for the Ontario Diploma in Horticulture or Agr;culture. Students have found the learning, freedom and friendliness they are exposed to at the University of Guelph to be the key to planning and developing successful careers. There is every reason why you can experience success from yourGuelph education. All it takes is a little determination and imagination on your part. Study botany or drama, chemistry or genetics, computer science or philosophy, economics or psychology, statistics or French, business or nutrition, fine arts or geography, history or physics, music or politics, zoology or statistics, sociology or microbiology, child studies or marine biology. Gueiph is the place to learn about the world around you. The lecture rooms, laboratories and studios are well equipped and spacious-good places for teaching and learning. You will find a dedicated faculty to give you the experti se you need in the discipline you choose. At Guelph you're encouraged to develop a rapport with your \ professors and get personal attention to help you over the rough spots. You may be among those who haven't decided what you want to study, or what you want to do after graduation. Maybe you should plan to study whatever interests you for its own sake and let the job choice wait. Or maybe, if you're puzzled about what to study, you should plan to take a

job and use that experience to help you make up your mind. Either plan is good. But, the first one matches something the University of Guelph is noted for-the opportunity to pursue a subject for intellectual excitement and the joy of learning. A Ii beral education, like a professional education, should be an integrated program of study, not a general hodge-podge of courses. Guelph offers

Your need to continue a formal education may arise at any time. Perhaps you've been away from school for a while and want to experience university courses before deciding on a degree program. If you're over 21 and have been out of secondary school for at least two years, you may enrol full-time or part-time in our General Studies Program and take courses for credit.

We can offer ... • Eleven undergraduate degree and di ploma programs. • Graduate programs in the basic arts and sc iences as well as in all areas of study traditional to Guelph. • A flexible year-round semester system with entry poi nts in September, January and May. • An international reputation for

research and teaching

excellence.

• Comfortable residence accommodation to suit a number of learning/living arrangements. • A medium-sized student population. • One of the most attractive campuses in the country. contd.

The semester system An attractive feature of the University of Guelph is its versati Ie semester system, a system that divides a normal calendar year into three periods fall, early September to mid足 December; winter, early January to mid-April; and spring, early May to mid-August. Each semester is approximately 15 weeks in length with two semesters being equivalent to one normal academic year at other universities . Obviously, this provides students with a number of options. For example, a general B.A. degree can be obtained in two years if you wish to attend six consecutive semesters. On the other hand, taking two semesters off in one year allows more time for work or travel and one semester is easier to budget for than the normal academic year at other universities. Our semester system lets you take college at your own pace. Go when you want. Take time off when you feel you need it. If you are in your final year of high school and satisfy program requirements, you can gain early adm iss ion in the spring. Why wait for fall?

Come for a visit Although the principal reason for going to university is to study, there are many other things to do at Guelph. The range of academic pursuits is impressive, the opportunities for intellectual and personal growth exciting and the possibilities for social and recreational endeavours appealing. And, with the three足 semester system, aGuelph student can study, work and take
