PRINCIPAL’S REPORT

12th May, 1943.

To The Members of the Board of Trustees,

Queen’s University.

In the academic year 1942-1943 this University has be¬ come involved more deeply than hitherto in the exigencies of the war. The men of the two final years in medicine are in uniform, and are at the service of their country when they graduate. Students in applied and in pure science may be drafted into any field of technical service where the need is greatest, whether in the armed forces or in war industry. The three arms of the service — Navy, Army and Air Force — are established on the campus. Within limits, students may select the service of their choice, and obtain basic training while at the University that is taken as equivalent to the initial three to four months of training of an enlisted man. Radio direction finding courses have been conducted under the R.C. A.F., and, beginning in December, pre-aircrew training has been given to men enlisted in the R.C.A.F. Women are engaged in air raid precaution training and in first aid, and in a variety of war service duties. The laboratories are filled with scientists engaged in secret war research, and many members of our staff have been called to duty elsewhere. There has been little time for extra-curricular activities, for military training and academic studies have been strenuous. These are the conditions under which work was carried on in the year for which I have the honour to report.

Trustees and Staff

There has been no change in the personnel of the Trustee Board during the year. The elections were as follows: Dr. J. M. Macdonnell was re-elected chairman. The Board of Trustees at their May meeting re-elected Mr. D. D. Calvin,

Mr. J. M. Farrell and Sir Edward Peacock, each for a four year term, and Mr. M. N. Hay, representing the Faculty of Applied Science, for a three year term. Dr. W. C. Clark and Col. A. Macphail were re-elected by the graduates; and Lt. Commander D. K. MacTavish and Mr. A. E. MacRae were re-elected by the benefactors. The University Council re¬ elected Judge C. A. Cameron and Mr. J. C. Macfarlane as its representatives on the board. The Theological College re¬ appointed Dr. G. A. Brown for 1942-43.

I have to record that Professor C. E. Walker, who had been a member of the staff of the School of Commerce since 1922, died on December 14th, 1942. Professor Walker made a contribution, not only in teaching, but in personal influence, that will long be remembered in Queen’s University. His generous nature, and his unselfish devotion to the interests of his students, won for him deep regard and loyalty from' all with whom he came in contact. We miss him deeply.

Dr. William Gibson, who had retired from the staff of the Faculty of Medicine several years ago, died on October 2nd, 1942. He was a man of great sincerity of purpose and deep loyalty. He had won for himself a high place in the com¬ munity in which he lived and practised.

Miss Lois Saunders, who served as librarian until com¬ pelled to withdraw because of illness, died on May 22nd, 1942. Her mind remained alert, and her patience unexhausted, during a long period of sickness. Miss Saunders had unusual equip¬ ment as a linguist, a wide and accurate knowledge of literature, and the sensibility of an artist. She made a great contribution to the life of Queen’s.

The high services of Dr. W. T. Connell were referred to when he retired from the headship of the department of medicine. Since that time he has been giving generous assis¬ tance in the department. This year, owing to military duties, he relinquished this work. His contributions to the prestige of the Medical Faculty and of the University will long be grate¬ fully recalled.

— 8—

Alexander Ferguson (D.D.), and on Mr. V. K. Greer, Hon.

• C. D. Howe and Mr. B. K. Sandwell (LL.D.). Hon. Mr. Howe spoke briefly. A portrait of the late Dr. James Douglas, former chancellor of the University, was presented by his son, Mr. James Douglas of Montreal. Mr. R. M. Smith, on behalf of the Queen’s University Art Foundation presented a group of twelve pictures to the University.

At the autumn convocation on October 16th, honorary degrees of Doctor of Laws were conferred on Dr. C. C. Coulton and on His Eminence Cardinal Villeneuve. Cardinal Villeneuve delivered the address.

The acceleration of the medical course made it necessary that medical convocation be held at a separate time, and two convocations for graduating classes were held in the period in review. At the first, on April 13th, 1942, the Principal gave the address. At the second on January 21st, 1943, Brigadier Armstrong, Officer Commanding Military District No. 3, was the speaker.

Sunday services were not held during the year. ' A Uni¬ versity Christian Mission was arranged for, and was con¬ ducted over a four day period from Thursday, November 19th, to Sunday, November 22nd, closing with an evening meeting in Grant Hall. Approximately a third of the student body attended the mission. While the number that participated directly was smaller than might have been expected, the in¬ fluence of the mission was felt on the campus. We were fortunate in having as members of the visiting group Miss Gertrude Rutherford, Dr. C. F. Martin, Squadron Leader Gerald Gregson, Dr. Gerald Cragg, Dr. James Smart, Mr. Murray Brooks, and Mr. Hugh Macmillan. They made a fine contribution. Mr. Elmer Davis acted as chairman of a city committee. Dr. Norman Miller of a university committee, and Dr. S. M. Gilmour was secretary of both committees. To them much credit is due for the success of the mission.

The Monday afternoon series in January and February was on The Fine Arts. Mr. Andre Bieler spoke on Art, Dr. E. Watson on Colour Photography, Dr. F. LI. Harrison on

— 9—

Music, Dr. G. H. Clarke on The Poetry of the Present War, Dr. William Angus on Drama and Professor Eric R. Arthur of the University of Toronto on Canadian Cities' and Recon¬ struction. The lectures attracted the interest of a very con¬ siderable number of students, as well as other people.

On Remembrance Day Principal Kent conducted the fifteen minute service in Grant Hall and Principal Wallace gave the address.

The Alma Mater Society’s lecturer for the year was Mr. Percy J. Philip, Ottawa correspondent to the New York Times, who spoke on the subject The Tomorrows That Sing.

A baccalaureate service, at which the graduating class in all the faculties attended in a body, was held in Grant Hall on Sunday, March 21st. Rev. Dr. W. H. Sedgewick of Toronto was the speaker and Principal Kent conducted the service.

The four hundredth anniversary of the death of Coper¬ nicus was observed on March 15th, when Dr. A. Vibert Doug¬ las, president of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, gave an address on The Life and Work of Copernicus. Polish music was sung by the Glee Club under the direction of Dr. F. LI. Harrison.

The Chancellor’s lecturer to the Queen’s Theological Alumni was Dr. J. S. Thomson, President of the University of Saskatchewan. His subject was Mysticism.

As in previous years Queen’s University has been for¬ tunate in the number and the quality of the visiting speakers who have given of their time and experience generously to the societies and clubs of the University. Their visits and their words mean more to our students than the speakers themselves probably realize. The following men and women have spoken at Queen’s University during the year: Mr. C. E. Almquist, Mr. P. C. Armstrong, Mr. John Arnott, Mr. H. Avery, Rabbi Binstock, Rev. Salem Bland, Mr. Dale D. Brown, Mr. B. C. Butler, Mr. Archie Cameron, Mrs. Grace Campbell, author of Thorn-Apple Tree, Mr. J. J. Deutsch, Major D. J. Dewar, Dr. W. Galley, Mr. Leonard Harman, Mr. H. Dent

Student Affairs

Reference has been made in earlier reports to the wisdom that student organizations show in dealing with their own problems of administration. This was illustrated in the session under review. It had become evident that the method of electing the president of the Alma Mater Society, who occupied the most important office in student affairs, left much to be desired. The election had developed into a contest between faculties, in which the main purpose — the electing of the most suitable candidate — was sometimes lost sight of. The ex¬ ecutive of the Alma Mater Society formulated a plan whereby the new president would be elected at the end of the term by a small electoral college consisting mainly of officers of the faculties. This plan was endorsed by ballot vote of the whole student body. The first election by the new method took place at the end of term, and it was apparent that the members of the college dealt with the question not as members of their respective faculties, but as students of the University. Queen’s Journal should be commended for the good work it did in advocating this new procedure. There is the further gain in the method now in effect in that from the beginning of term the president is in the chair to deal with student problems. There have been occasions during the past years when the guiding hand of a student president was needed in the early days of term. He was not there, for the election took place only after several weeks of term had elapsed. A real step forward in student statesmanship has been taken, which will prove its wisdom in the years to come.

Special reference should be made to the fine contribution that the students have made to the blood bank. Under the direction of Dr. Eldon Boyd, a very large percentage of our students gave of their blood, not only once, but in some cases two or even three times during the term. By faculties, the contributions were as follows: — one-half of the students in Arts, one-sixth in Levana, four-fifths in Medicine, two-thirds in Science and three-fifths in Theology. Approximately one thousand donations of blood were given in all, representing almost half a ton of blood.

Approximately two hundred men students in Arts re¬ sponded to the appeal to assist in the harvest in Saskatchewan. They gave their services willingly, and their cooperation was greatly appreciated. Their studies were seriously interrupted, and the faculty found it necessary to make special allowances in order that they should not be unduly penalized. If it is found advisable to call on their services again for similar work, it will be necessary to make more satisfactory arrange¬ ments in time to meet the emergency.

At a time when intercollegiate competition in sports has been completely withdrawn, it is encouraging to note the in¬ creasing interest which students show in interfaculty and interyear athletics. Competition has been very keen, and the numbers of students who have participated is unusually high. There were excellent teams in football, hockey and basketball. In track, cross country running, boxing and wrestling, the entrants were more numerous than in previous years. Even under the pressure of military training and war duties, men and women of healthy mind and body will find the time to take part in good clean sport.

Elsewhere reference has been made to the growing in¬ terest of our students in the fine arts. The Glee Club and the Drama Guild had very successful sessions. In particular the performances of Arsenic and Old Lace and Princess Ida at¬ tracted audiences of students that filled Convocation Hall for successive evenings. The interest in public speaking has been stimulated as well by the generous assistance that has come

—12—

through the Andrina McCulloch scholarship. In the final com¬ petition there was a very high level of performance.

The health of the students has been unusually good. The medical officer is convinced that this is in very large measure due to the regular military training in which all men students participate, and to increased participation in interfaculty and interclass sports by men and women alike. In this matter we have gained experience which we cannot afford to forget when the days of war are over. An X-ray examination was undertaken in which students and staff participated. The findings were very satisfactory. Out of a total of 1656 ex¬ aminations, only two were found where there was need for treatment for incipient tuberculosis. This is considerably lower than the average in such surveys. The examination justified itself in the protection of the health of the two students, and of those with whom they come in contact.

National Selective Service Regulations for University Students

It has been necessary from time to time to clarify the position of university students in relation to war needs. This has been done by conferences with the Government, and by means of regulations issued by the Government with respect to various groups of students. Briefly, the present position is as follows.

1. Physically fit medical students in their two final years (or twenty-four months before the end of their eight-months internship period) are enlisted as privates in the R.C.A.M.C., go into uniform, and receive pay and allowances of their rank. After the completion of their internship they take special training to qualify for officer rank.

2. Science students (including all students in Applied Science and students in the Faculty of Arts, at least half of whose course is in science subjects) are at the disposal of the Government for technical services when they graduate, whether in the armed forces or in industry. They may engage in summer employment only after receiving a permit from the Government, in order to ensure that their summer em¬ ployment is of a kind that will help in the war effort.

3. Men students in the Faculty of Arts, not in the category of science students, may continue to graduation pro¬ vided that they are not incompetent students from an academic standpoint. If incompetent, they are asked to withdraw, and are at the disposal of National Selective Service. The Faculty of Arts applies the same academic standards to women students as to men.

—15—

4. A student is not permitted to go on to graduate work, nor to transfer from one faculty to another, without the ap¬ proval of National Selective Service.

5. All physically fit male students of eighteen years of age and over must take 110 hours per session of military training, and two weeks in camp during the summer. This does not apply, however, to medical students in their clinical years, nor to students engaged in research who may be ex¬ empted from training to the extent of the hours in which they are engaged in research. The training may be taken in the arm of the service selected by the student, and provided by the University. At Queen’s selection may be made of the Navy, the Army and the Air Force for purposes of military training. The respective organizations are University Naval Training Division (authorized in February of this year), Canadian Officers’ Training Corps and University Air Training Corps.

These regulations limit in considerable measure the stu¬ dent’s freedom of choice, but they are designed to fit him in to the place where he can give his best national service. As yet, no regulations have been laid down by the Government with respect to women students. The University has however imposed the regulation that all first year women students must take air raid precaution training and a first aid course; that first and second year women students must take physical training; and that women students engage in some form of war work during term. A considerable variety of work is available, and students make their own selection. They do Red Cross work, canteen service, visiting in the military hospital. Girl Guide leadership, business training and work for War Services. Several take training in the Women’s Voluntary Training Detachment (Red Cross). Our women are playing their part worthily.

The School of the Fine Arts had its first session during the summer of 1942. Courses in painting, music and dramatics

—16—

were offered, and were attended by a very gratifying response. War conditions naturally affect any such venture; and the best that could be expected was that the school would establish itself so securely that when the war was over it could go for¬ ward as a necessary complement to our other educational facilities. That is being achieved. But there is something more. It seems clear that even in time of war there is need for the ministry of beauty. It affords a consolation for which the human heart craves. There has been evidence of this fact during the past winter. The Monday afternoon lectures were on the fine arts. They were of a popular nature, they were well illustrated and well delivered. The attendance of students was greater than for any other series over a long period of years. Under a committee of the Senate, university concerts were arranged for in the early months of 1943. The response for membership on the part of the students was particularly gratifying. The seating accommodation of Con¬ vocation Hall was sold out to students, staff, and members of the public. The level of performance was very high, the artists being Tania Flaw and Dr. F. LI. Harrison, piano duet, Gerhard Kander, violinist, with Hans Neumark as accompanist, Helmut Blume, pianist, and Nora Conklin, contralto. The committee in charge, in the light of the experience of this year, is definitely of the opinion that a concert series under the auspices of Queen’s University should become a regular part of our educational programme.

The most satisfying part of this progress is that there has developed a very clear integration between art and music, art and drama, music and drama. While the courses are separate and distinct, there are many meeting points — the play, the operetta, the public presentation. On all such oc¬ casions the contributions from the arts are welded together into a uniform whole. This is particularly the case with the Summer School of the Fine Arts. The emphasis is sound. While each student pursues his own course, he has the op¬ portunity to realise how much it contributes to the other fine arts, and to the education of the mind and the spirit.

Acceleration of Courses

Some experience has been gained during the last year * as to the value, from an educational standpoint, of the ac¬ celeration of courses. The course in Medicine has been going on continuously, in order that as large a number of qualified medical men may be available for war services as the medical schools can produce. Arts students have the opportunity, through heavier work at summer school or extramurally, to complete their course more rapidly than was formerly possible. Specially selected students at the end of their junior matricula¬ tion examinations are given an eight weeks course in mathe¬ matics, physics and chemistry, and if successful, are admitted to first year Applied Science, thus saving a year. It has been generally agreed by educationists that time is needed for knowledge to be assimilated in the mind of the student, and that more is lost than gained by hurrying the process of educa¬ tion. When, because of war pressure, it seemed necessary to take unusual steps to get men and women qualified quickly, it was considered that this procedure could be defended only in the light of the urgency of the situation but was unsound on educational grounds. It is unsafe to draw hasty conclusions on the basis of wartime experience, when the sense of urgency is dominant. It can however be said that there is no lowering of standards nor of achievement in medical studies, although men have only a very short respite from work, winter or summer. The Medical class that graduated in January 1943 made an excellent showing. The picked men who were ad¬ mitted to first year Applied Science from junior matriculation level after an eight weeks intensive course have proved — on the whole — to be competent, and to hold their own in class work. There is not yet enough experience from which to assess results in Arts. With wider experience, it will be possible to decide whether it may not be advisable, as a general policy, to permit able students to go forward with their education at a more rapid rate than has been permitted in the past. A three, or a four-quarter year, provides the necessary mechanism in the United States. The economic status of Canadian students is such that relatively few can

—18—

take advantage of the facilities of the longer year. During the war this has to some extent been met by the liberal loan allowance which the Dominion Government has provided to medical and science students. Arts students in literary, humanistic or social science fields have not participated in this assistance.

The problems that have arisen during the year have not been easy for students or for staff. I wish in closing to express my heartfelt thanks for the cooperation that has been shown in meeting them. It has made many a burden lighter.

Respectfully submitted,

Robt. C. Wallace, Principal and Vice-Chancellor.

REPORT OF THE FACULTY OF ARTS

I have the honour to present herewith the annual report of the Faculty of Arts for the session 1942-43.

Registration

The total number of students in the intramural winter session was 722 as against 755 a year ago. The number in 1938-39 was 917 ; and in each year since then the registration has been smaller than in the year before. The decrease has been, as is usual in times of stress, in the number of previously registered students. In 1938-39 the number of these was 640, and it has gone down to 427 this year. On the other hand the number of students registered for the first time this year is 295, which is the largest number since 1937-38. The net de¬ crease in attendance at the winter session is not as great, however, as was generally expected.

Changes of Staff

In December the University suffered a serious loss in the death of the late Professor C. E. Walker who had been a member of the staff for twenty years. He was a man whose influence went deep into the hearts of all who knew him. His students will always bear the impress of his noble life and character.

Classics. Professor L. E. Law has been engaged in war work in England since the beginning of the war, and for the past year Professor Day has been similarly engaged in Canada. Both are on leave of absence. In 1941-42 the department was assisted by Mr. D. J. Conacher, ,B.A. (Queen’s) and in 1942- 43 by Mr. Donald Shepherd, M.A. (Queen’s).

Spanish. Mr. A. B. Minor has been on leave of absence for the past two years. A year ago his work in Spanish was taken by Mr. A. M. Fox, B.A. (Toronto), and this year by Miss Doris Sargeant, B.A. (Toronto).

History. In 1941-42 Professor Gerald Graham was on leave of absence to accept a Guggenheim fellowship. His leave was continued in 1942-43 to permit him to teach in the

—20—

naval college at Esquimalt. Mr. Frederick Gibson, B.A. (Queen’s) was appointed instructor in history for the session.

Philosophy. A year ago Professor D. 0. Hebb resigned to accept a position in Harvard University, and Professor G. Vlastos obtained leave of absence to engage in war service with the R.C.A.F. Mr. J. H. Houck, M.A. (Queen’s) and Mr. D. V. Wade, B.A. (Western) and Ph.D. candidate (Toronto) were appointed to assist in the department for 1942-43.

Mathematics. Professor Halperin obtained leave of ab¬ sence last summer in order to join the active army. Mr. J. F. Staples, B.A. (Queen’s), who was a part time instructor in 1941-42, was appointed a full time instructor for 1942-43. Part time assistance has been given this session also by Messrs. R. H. Hay, B.Sc. (Queen’s) and P. T. Demos, B.Sc. (Queen’s) in the first term, and by N. A. Williams, B.Sc. (Queen’s) in the second term.

War time is responsible for great increases in the load carried by members of staff, increases which in peace time would be considered unwise. Extra classwork or war services of various kinds are undertaken as contributions to the na¬ tional welfare, and to the winning of the war.

In the Faculty

In the first year of the war, a student who entered any of the active war services before writing on the final examina¬ tions, was given as his final standing in each class the mark which, in the instructor’s opinion, he would have made had he written. The student, however, had the right to have special papers set for him if he so desired. In the second year of the war, the faculty decided that all such students should write on special papers. But in practice this was found in most cases to be unworkable, because the call to service gener¬ ally left no time for special papers. The practice remains therefore very much as it was arranged after the beginning of the war.

A year ago the faculty adopted a plan to accelerate gradu¬ ation, by which students of the winter session might study

—21—

extra courses during the summer, either extramurally, or extramurally with summer school. This could lessen by a year the time required for obtaining a B.A. degree. In the session just closed, the faculty appointed a special committee to find out whether further acceleration might be achieved. This committee reported however that it could, not recom¬ mend any further acceleration; and the plan of a year ago is therefore still in force.

Preliminary consideration has been given to the prob¬ lem of meeting the needs of returned soldiers who wish to begin, or continue, university studies. Some of these soldiers may already have partial matriculation, and some may have no matriculation at all. The problem was first considered by a committee of the Universities Conference. In its report the committee recommended that the universities of Canada give fiexibility to the entrance requirements for returned men by giving a good deal of weight to school and service records, and ‘that “all cases be examined in the light of established practices of dealing with mature applicants,” even if the “matriculation record from school or Legion does not exactly fit the normal requirements.” It was also recommended that in the programme of studies for these men within the Univer¬ sity, a fair basis should be sought “for the wiping out of old ‘conditions’ in less essential subjects.” General approval was given to the report by the conference, and later by the Arts Faculty of Queen’s. The faculty has thus decided what its general attitude will be in its service to returned men and women.

With the Students

Early in October a request came from the Hon. Hum¬ phrey Mitchell, the Dominion Minister of Labour, for volun¬ teers from the men students in Arts to assist in harvesting the western crop. The shortage of help was serious, and there was danger that a great part of the crop would be lost. As a measure of war as well as of peace, the students were asked to help; and 182 of them left almost immediately for

—22—

the west. They were away from their studies for an average of nearly a month. These students say that the trip and the work were an excellent and educative experience, and no doubt it was. But for many of them it was a costly experience too, gained at the expense of much of that discipline which it is the function of the University to give. Most of those who went say that they would go again if called under the same circumstances. But it is hoped that other ways of securing help may be found, if similar conditions arise again.

For the past two or three years the men students, as members of the Arts Society, have been experimenting with ways by which the senior students may help the freshmen to adjust themselves to the new conditions in their first year. The plan tried out this session was largely the one which has been used by the women students for many years. By this plan each freshman is assigned to a senior student, with the understanding that the two shall keep in mutual touch for the session; and not more than one freshman is assigned to the same senior. In the first two weeks of the session the ar¬ rangements were completed, and the plan started out with hopeful promise. But then came the call to the western har¬ vest; and when the students came back, the threads of the freshman-senior plan could not be gathered up again. How¬ ever, the intention now is that it be carried out completely next session.

Graduate Work

For the past ten years sixteen students per year, on the average, have received the degree of M.A. from Queen’s. The government order-in-council 10924 has ordered that “no student shall pursue postgraduate studies unless, in the opin¬ ion of the university or college authorities and the District Officer Commanding, the pursuance of such studies is in the national interest or will aid in the prosecution of the war.” This order will definitely lessen the number of physically fit men who take M.A. work.

—23—

The Humanities and the War

For the past three years there has been a good deal of discussion as to the value of studies in the liberal arts in the prosecution of the war. This question became more insistent and more vocal during the session just closing. In January a meeting of the conference of Canadian Universities was held in Ottawa to consider the matter. At the beginning of the conference, an address was given by Mr. A. MacNamara, Director of Selective Service, which largely determined the direction of all the later discussion. He emphasized the need for educated men’ and women “in whom creative forces have been released and whose minds have been so disciplined that they are able to train and adjust themselves to new situa¬ tions.” He stated that “if the universities will ruthlessly weed out the incompetent students, and continue to require all stu¬ dents to take their military training at the universities, and if it be understood that when the requirements of the armed forces or the industrial war effort so necessitate, National Selective Service would be authorized to call up students, even though that interrupts their courses, no immediate further restrictions would be necessary.” He referred also to a problem of manpower in which the universities are directly concerned, namely the shortage of qualified teachers which “seriously threatens” elementary and secondary educa¬ tion. The conference finally passed a resolution which, in brief, expressed its appreciation of the attitude of the Govern¬ ment towards higher education and towards the need for adequately trained teachers. It assured the Government that it would cooperate wholeheartedly by retaining as students only those who are competent, by continuing to give military training to all men students, and by encouraging students in the liberal arts to enter the teaching profession if they wish to do so. The Faculty of Arts later adopted as its own the wartime policy embodied in this resolution.

I should like once again to express my appreciation of the spirit of kindly cooperation which has always been shown by my colleagues of the teaching and executive staffs. I should

—24

make particular mention of Miss Lillian McCullough who has for a good number of years taken efficient charge of the routine of the office work. I should also refer again to the assistance given during the years by the successive presidents of the Arts Society. This year the cordial cooperation of the president, Mr. Stewart Webster, and his executive has been most valuable.

Dean of the Faculty of Arts.

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL OF COMMERCE AND

ADMINISTRATION

The comparative figures of registration in courses in Commerce and Administration for the session 1942-43 are:

Class 1941-42 1942-43

Final Year . 29 27

Third Year . 42 27

First and Second Years . 42 40

This year, as last, every able-bodied male member of the graduating class is entering one or other of the services, with the result that only three men and five women will be available for the commercial field. There is ample scope within the services for the exercise of the special skills de¬ veloped by the commerce curriculum and we must hope that the college training of those graduates who are enlisting will not be entirely lost to the war effort.

The tendency to regard scientific and professional train¬ ing as the only sort of training of critical importance in the war effort has led to the adoption in some quarters of an al¬ most apologetic attitude towards other branches of university education including the social sciences. The faculty of the School of Commerce, impressed by the grave shortage of men and women with administrative training (both commercial and governmental) deplores this tendency and is fearful of its implications for the war effort.

Industrial Relations Section

The outstanding feature of employer-employee relations in Canadian industry during the last year has been a great wave of interest in collective bargaining which is likely to leave behind it permanent effects of real value. The Section’s Bulletin No. 6, Trade Union Agreements in Canadian Industry, was published in September, and is the only Canadian study of its kind. The demand for it has come from all classes of the community. Calls upon the section for information on collective bargaining, and in particular upon the head for personnel consultation, have exceeded manyfold our ability

—26—

to respond. It is clear that in this one field alone industry is looking to the section for guidance in far greater volume than it is staffed to give; and at present industry can get help nowhere else.

Instruction was given as usual to final students in the Faculty of Arts and the School of Commerce, and also, for one term, to final-year students in the Science Faculty. The collection and dissemination of material on all aspects of in¬ dustrial relations were continued. Under the sponsorship of the Federal Department of Labour, a four weeks’ course in personnel administration was given twice for war personnel workers, with a total in attendance of 63.

This year saw the conclusion of the five-year experi¬ mental period for which the section was originally established and a decision to carry on in the future, subject to the con¬ tinued provision of funds by industry, which has financed the section throughout the first five years of its existence.

Miss D. H. Wright was appointed assistant to the head of the section following the resignation in August of Miss Idele Wilson as research assistant.

Courses for Chartered Accountants

The final figure of full registrations for the year 1942 was 447 as compared with the figure of 432 reported in March last. But during the year enlistments took a toll of 55 of these registrations reducing the number under instruc¬ tion at the end of the year to 392.

Full registrations to date (March 27) for the calendar year 1943, number 305, indicating, for the first time since the war began, a significant decline in this work. Of this number, 113 represent newcomers to the profession, 17 of whom are university graduates in either Arts or Commerce.

The figure of total registration (which includes students completing work on courses for which they were previously registered) is 381 at the present time compared with 506, the final figure for 1942.

—27—

Of the five chartered accountants on the staff at the be¬ ginning of 1942 two have been lost — Professor C. E. Walker by death and Mr. J. D. Campbell to the government service.

Banking Courses

During the twelve months ending December 31, 1942 (which is the “natural’’ year of the banking courses) 20 stu¬ dents registered for the first time in the fellows’ course. Pre¬ viously registered students entitled to receive instruction during the whole or some part of the year numbered 116, to give a gross total of 136 registrations. Of this number 63 withdrew before the end of Jhe year by reason of enlistment, retirement from the profession or graduation. Of those with¬ drawing by reason of enlistment 25 were entitled to a rebate of fees on the terms arranged between the University and the Canadian Bankers’ Association shortly after the outbreak of war. No new registrations have been received in the supple¬ mentary 'course in international relations but 8 survive from previous years.

In the diploma examinations conducted by the University for the Canadian Bankers’ Association the decline has con¬ tinued unabated, the numbers of papers written in June 1942 and January 1943 being respectively 60 per cent and 39 per cent of the numbers written in the corresponding months of 1941 and 1942.

The Canadian Bankers’ Association feels that although so few are able under present conditions to avail themselves of these courses of instruction or of the diploma examinations yet both the courses and the examinations should be continued so long as any bank officer will make the effort to increase his professional efficiency by enrolling for the instruction or sitting for the examinations.

As will be seen the attendance has been large. Only once in the history of the faculty (1939-40) has it been larger and then by only six. The completion of a half century gives oc¬ casion for a glance backward. In 1893 a new faculty was launched at Queen’s as an affiliated school, known until 1914 as the School of Mining when it became a faculty of the University. Beginning in a small way with very few stu¬ dents, it grew in numbers and prestige as its graduates and students found their way into the north where they played an important part in the marvellous development of the min¬ ing industry. When I came to Queen’s in 1906, there were slightly over 200 students and the emphasis was still on min¬ ing. The growth was becoming very rapid and reached a peak of 306 in 1909. The numbers fell off again as the boom in mining diminished. At about this time the other courses be¬ gan to take their proper places. The war years of 1914-18

—29

saw a great reduction, until in 1917 there were only 61 stu¬ dents registered. Then, men coming back from overseas be¬ gan to swell the number and in 1919 the dam burst and 362 men reported, followed by 394 in 1920. Elevation of the standard of entrance brought the number down to 240 in 1924. From then on the increase has been steady and rapid, so rapid that in 1937 the faculty set a limit of 175 to the en¬ tering year. It was felt that with a number much in excess of that figure the effectiveness of our work could not be main¬ tained. The new war has brought a demand for technically trained men for the various armed services and for war in¬ dustry, so last year the bar was lifted to 240. Next session it is planned to accept up to 250 freshmen and it seems now that the total attendance may exceed 700.

Approximately 1800 men have graduated, most of v^hom are still living, and they are scattered over the earth. Many are in one or other of the services and a few we already know will not return. Practically all of the graduates are doing well and are a credit to their Alma Mater.

Staff

For many years the senior members of the staff have been of the same generation and have grown older in service together. The first of this group to go. Professor A. Macphail, retired a few years ago and last year Professor L. M. Arkley, for over twenty years head of the mechanical engineering de¬ partment, finished his work at Queen’s. His place was filled by the appointment of Major-General E. Schmidlin who is already making himself felt in faculty affairs. The mechani¬ cal engineering department is one of the most popular depart¬ ments judging by numbers and it seems likely to remain so for some time to come.

J. B. Baty, professor of sanitary engineering, who held an officer’s commission in the U.S. Army was called for ser¬ vice late last session and is absent on leave “for duration.” The services of Dr. N. W. Buerger of the mineralogy depart¬ ment were sought by the U.S. Navy and he also left for in¬ structional work at Annapolis.

—30—

Lt.-Col. H. J. Styles, Major H. G. Conn and Capt. A. 0. Monk are still on active service overseas.

The services of Dr. H. M. Cave of the physics department

j

were sought by the National Research Council and he left to take part in important research in the radio field. We were fortunate to be able to secure the services of Mr. R. H. Hay (M.Sc. Queen’s ’38) who was just completing his work as instructor in the radio direction finding class in the Air Force. Then early in January the services of Dr. B. W. Sargent were requested for another important war research. We were again fortunate and Dr. R. A. Chipman, who is at work on radio research at Queen’s was persuaded to take over Dr. Sargent’s lectures. The laboratory classes have been shared by members of the department. At the opening of the session this department was without demonstrators due to war con¬ ditions and this meant increased work for the members of the regular staff. Dr. A. V. Douglas, dean of women, has given generously of her time and has taken charge of some of the first year Arts laboratory classes. When Dr. Sargent left she placed us still further in her debt and took on one of the Science classes. By the greatest good fortune there was a group of unusually good students in physics and these have been utilized for laboratory assistance, report and exercise reading and in more than one case have actually taken charge of laboratory classes. Thus we have been able to carry on through the year. It has meant however that I have had far more teaching work than for many years and have not had time adequately to attend to administrative duties.

Departmental Notes

Professor J. E. Hawley of the department of mineralogy reports: “Though handicapped by the loss of Dr. N. W. Buerger, the department of mineralogy has been able to function normally due in part to the decrease in number of undergraduate and graduate students, and to some welcome assistance given by Dr. M. L. Keith of the department of geology.

—31—

^‘Investigations in our well-equipped x-ray laboratory have had to be discontinued for the duration of the war, but we are looking forward to important results when this work can be taken up again — particularly with regard to the study of different crystal phases of many minerals. Other investi¬ gations have had to be curtailed both on account of increased teaching load and lack of graduate assistants, but several problems dealing with the synthesizing of metallic minerals are under review and will be taken up at the earliest oppor¬ tunity.

“During the past year our museum collection was en¬ riched by many fine specimens, the gift of Mr. Gilbert Labine and Dr. Fraser Reid. These were formerly a part of the R. H. Coombs collection. We anticipate the time when a museum fund will be available both for the purchase of ad¬ ditional rare and better illustrative material as well as for more suitable and modern cases in which to display them.

''Course for Prospectors. At the time the question was raised as to ways in which the universities might aid men re¬ turning from overseas it was pointed out that there is a press¬ ing need in Canada for more well-trained prospectors to ex¬ plore the famed pre-Cambrian shield for new deposits to replace those being so seriously depleted during the war.

“A committee composed of members from the various departments interested in the mineral industry met during the past year and drew up an eight-week technical course which will be made available to such returned men as may be attracted to this vocation and are physically able to under¬ take the work which it entails. In addition it is felt the course should be open to anyone interested in this type of work and especially to such men as private mining companies may de¬ sire to train in this way. While it is fully recognized that the training offered in this short course is necessarily only a preliminary in the development of well-trained prospectors, it is hoped some arrangement may be made whereby adequate practical training in the field will follow.

—32^

“The course outlined is a modern version of one offered in the School of Mining at Kingston at the turn of the century, a course which contributed a great deal to the opening up of many Canadian mineral deposits. It is our profound hope that this new course may do likewise.’^

Professor M. B. Baker reporting for the department of geology writes:

“The addition of optional geology offered to selected mining students in the final year is proving a good suggestion. Graduates in mining are now returning to report that they are engaged in non-metallic mineral production, and are find¬ ing that the additional geology and mineralogy is of great advantage to them.

“The future of the field of prospecting appears to depend more and more on geophysical means of locating possible ore areas. As exposed areas become exhausted as hunting grounds, more and more recourse must be had to hidden, underground methods of detection. We have therefore introduced into our final year geology mapping class, a course in geophysical methods of mapping and interpretation. This will be given by Dr. Keith, and offered for the first time next session.

“A great deal of time has been spent during the last three years on additions and re-arrangements in our museum in Miller Hall. It is now one of the best geological and min- eralogical museums in America, ranking in Canada second only to the government museums in Ottawa and Toronto according to the report of the British Museums Committee. We shall be glad to receive additional specimens for exhibit from mining companies or individuals. Such donations will be credited to the donors by labels with the specimens.”

Dr. Bruce reports for the graduate work in geology:

“The decrease in the number of students in graduate courses in geology, which began at the beginning of the war, continued in the session of 1942-43. Two are registered for the degree of Master of Science, one for the Ph.D. degree. All three plan to complete their degrees this session.

—33—

“This seems a suitable time to present a review of what has been accomplished in graduate work in geology since the establishment of the Miller Memorial Chair in 1929. Gradu¬ ate work in geology has been carried on in the closest co¬ operation with that in mineralogy, the courses in the two departments being planned to give students a thoroughly rounded training.

“Beginning with the granting of three degrees of M.Sc. in geology in 1930, the total number of masters’ degrees awarded is now fifty. Of these twenty-eight are M.Sc. de¬ grees. Besides the fifty who obtained degrees, several other students completed a satisfactory year of graduate work but for various reasons did not complete the requirements for degrees. A considerable number were considered not suited for advanced work. Of the fifty who have taken degrees, one half did their undergraduate work at Queen’s, six at Alberta, four at Manitoba, three at Saskatchewan, two each at Toronto, Western Ontario and British Columbia, and one each at Min¬ nesota and California Institute of Technology. A considerable number have continued graduate study at other universities after leaving Queen’s; seventeen of those who completed the master’s degree and three who did not finish all the work for a degree have subsequently taken Ph.D. degrees elsewhere.

“The establishment of graduate courses in geology has been of considerable indirect benefit to the University! it has made available more highly trained assistants for under¬ graduate instruction in the departments of geology and min¬ eralogy than would otherwise have been the case. Many graduate students need some financial assistance and are will¬ ing to assist in laboratory work for part time and spend two years for the master’s degree.

“May I take this opportunity of expressing to you my appreciation of the continued assistance and encouragement you have given to graduate work in geology, the inception of which was in large part due to your efforts.”

Professor T. V. Lord for metallurgy reports:

—34—

“In the milling laboratory we have soft-pedalled gold and silver and practically all the students’ time was devoted to the concentration of strategic minerals, i.e. lead, copper, zinc, iron, chrome, molybdenite, scheelite and wolframite. The boys have shown great interest and some have done ex¬ cellent work. For some of these, the overtime put in during evenings etc. has been far greater than regular laboratory hours. A fluorescent lamp was purchased which was of great assistance in the work on scheelite ores.

“At the request of the final year metallurgists. Dr. Car- son has given a lecture course on the use of x-ray in metal¬ lurgy, amounting to about 15 hours of lectures.

“Since the beginning of the war Dr. Carson has spent all available time in an advisory capacity at the Aluminum Plant. The writer was with the Bureau of Mines Laboratory at Ottawa last summer and during the term has been on con¬ sulting work for base-metal companies and investigating treatment methods for new ores. Some of the latter were from as far afield as Africa.”

Professor L. F. Goodwin reports: “The number of stu¬ dents in the department of chemical engineering has shown steady increase since 1934, and during the last three years has overtaxed all laboratory facilities. It has been necessary to install laboratory tables in both the upper and lower cor¬ ridors. Part of the upper corridor has been partitioned off for a research laboratory, and a new fume cupboard built.

“Much thought has been given to the various courses of study, and for some years it has been felt that more time must be found for engineering chemical thermo-dynamics. This will now be done, by dropping the course in Mechanical Engineering IV, and substituting Chemical Engineering V, dealing with applied chemical thermodynamics.

“A welcome increase in research activities was provided by the demand for war research. A graduate student, Mr. G. A. Clark, carried on research during last summer, and was joined by Mr. D. Hyland during the session, both working

as¬

under National Research Council auspices. Professor Revell carried on research all summer, and commencing in May four other students will be taking up war research under my direction, working under various government grants.’’

Professor Ellis reports for the department of civil en¬ gineering:

“The work in sanitary and municipal engineering con¬ ducted by Professor Baty was carried on in a most acceptable manner by Mr. J. D. Lee, who joined our staff in the autumn of 1941. Mr. Lee has done considerable graduate work in these fields and also is familiar with the operation of our own laboratory. However as the sanitary laboratory work is much heavier after Christmas it was necessary to relieve Mr. Lee of Surveying 1. Again we were fortunate in that Mr. 0. T. Macklem, formerly professor of engineering at the Royal Military College, kindly came to our aid and has car¬ ried on the Surveying I classes during the past term.

“In the sanitary laboratory Mr. Hinton, the university plant engineer, installed a new drive on the raw water pump which has worked very satisfactorily, thus eliminating a previous source of trouble. Dr. Lash designed a Torsion testing machine and an Izod machine (for breaking notched bars) for the materials laboratory. These machines were built last summer by Mr. Baiden in the university shop. They are a great addition to our equipment and this method of procuring them has saved a considerable sum over that of purchase — even if they could have been purchased at this time. The additions to the hydraulics laboratory are minor improvements.

“The numbers in the surveying field class last September were smaller than usual. This was due to decreased registra¬ tion in the mining course. The class was conducted by Pro¬ fessor Low with Mr. Lee as his staff assistant. It was carried on at Cataraqui Bay — west of the city — where it was started some ten years ago.

“Last summer all members of the staff were engaged in war work or research. Professor Armour was working on

—36—

rigid frames and photo-elasticity in the University of South¬ ern California. Professor Lash was on structural design with the Naval Department in Ottawa. Professor Low did an ex¬ tensive traffic survey and made a very highly commended report on traffic conditions in Kingston for the municipality. Mr. J. D. Lee and myself were both on the staff office of the hydraulic department of the Hydro-Electric Power Commis¬ sion.

“In conclusion I should like to mention the distinction brought to this department by Dr. Lash being awarded the Gzowski medal for the best paper on a civil engineering sub¬ ject presented to the Engineering Institute of Canada. His paper dealt with the design of a flat slab.”

Professor E. Schmidlin writes the following concerning mechanical engineering :

“A special appropriation of $5000 was made available in July 1942 for the purpose of adding new equipment, as the first step in a progressive programme designed to bring the mechanical laboratories and the machine shop up to date, and to make them effective for the giving of reasonably, ad¬ vanced instruction. A number of tools was purchased for the shop and considerable new equipment for the laboratories. In addition, apparatus for experimental work on the flow of steam through nozzles and orifices was built in the university shop. Much of the work, including the making of nozzles, orifices, plates, dead-weight pressure gauges, etc. was done by fourth year mechanical students. It is hoped that further funds will be available in 1943 for the continuation of the process of laboratory improvement. If so, emphasis will be on the steam and internal combustion laboratories, as the machine shop is now in a reasonably good condition, and it is practically impossible, in any case, to obtain any further machine tools for the duration of the war.

“All courses have been scrutinized and some fairly ex¬ tensive alterations have been arranged for the 1943-44 ses¬ sion. All of these are designed with the idea of covering more

—37—

ground in basic studies in the third year than has been the case in the past, in order that fourth year classes may be more advanced. The time given to the advanced features of steam generating power plants and their economic aspect in the fourth year course will be considerably increased. Certain changes have been made with a view to giving continuous treatment to the subject of thermodynamics and applications. One new course is being introduced to be known as Mechani¬ cal X, to deal with the important subject of industrial pro¬ duction planning.

“The experience of the 1942-43 session has shown that, with the large third and fourth year groups now passing through, which must be expected for some time to come, and in view of the necessary restrictions on staff members, the existing division between the internal combustion and the steam laboratories is a very serious handicap. The principal effects of the separation are a lack of flexibility in the nature of the work which can be done on any given day, and the im¬ possibility of division of classes into small groups. A plan has therefore been made to combine both of the laboratories in the building at the central steam plant. Less than one-half of the total floor space of this building is being used at pre¬ sent, the balance being partitioned off in small rooms which are unused and of no value. The plan is, therefore, to remove all the partitions, which are of a light wooden construction, and to set up the internal combustion equipment in this space. This will improve operating conditions for this equipment materially, as compared with the cramped space now in use in Fleming Hall, which practically precludes the use of more than one engine at a time.

“In the machine shop course, instead of having the stu¬ dents work on the ordinary type of school projects, which produce articles of no particular use or value, arrangements were made with the Canadian Locomotive Works to furnish raw material or blanks for the manufacture of a number of small components of anti-aircraft gun mountings, together with working drawings. These components were then made

—38—

by the students and returned to the Locomotive Works for inclusion in their production programme. The scheme in¬ cluded also a considerable amount of light welded work. The work involved the making of a number of jigs and fixtures, which were built by some of the more skilled students.”

Professor Jackson calls attention to the fact that the second year drafting room in the hydraulics laboratory will be inadequate for session 1943-44. A 35 per cent increase in accommodation may be obtained by extending the present floor at the old running track level to the east wall.

Engineering Society

Throughout the past twenty years the Engineering So¬ ciety has been a steady influence and has contributed much to the general tone of the Science Faculty. This year under the leadership of Mr. P. A. Cain, the same cooperative spirit mentioned so often in these reports has been evident.

- 222

The accelerated course of studies, arranged at the re¬ quest of the Department of Defence and designed to graduate a class each eight months, has been in operation during the past year. On the whole it has worked well. As was to be expected, the steady grind is being increasingly felt both by staff and students. It is quite clear, however, the need of the armed forces for medical officers makes the scheme necessary, and there is apparently no possibility of its abandonment during hostilities.

Adoption of a Health Insurance Act is bound to cause repercussions on medical teaching in this country. A sufficient number of patients must be available to teaching staffs if the supply of competent doctors is to be maintained. Under the influence of full employment and high wages there is a de¬ cline in the proportion of public ward patients. Under the terms of the proposed act, this adverse state of affairs is bound to become accentuated. All patients' costs are to be met by the Commission administering the act, and general ward patients may transfer to private and semi-private rooms by paying the difference in costs. Only those patients in the general words “shall be available for clinical observation by the teaching staff of medical schools.” In a discussion of this

matter, a recent editorial in the London Lancet states, *^the one thing that must not be evaded by payment, is to be used for teaching. The decision whether a patient should be ex¬ cluded from the teaching round should depend on his physical and mental condition, not on his income.^’ This and many associate questions raised by the provisions of the act must receive further consideration if the cause of medical educa¬ tion is to be maintained and advanced.

A change in the present curriculum seems desirable. In place of the six sessions now in vogue, it has been proposed that the course consist of two pre-medical folloAved by four academic years, plus a twelve-months interneship in an ap¬ proved hospital. Final examinations would be taken at the end of the hospital service. This change conforms to the trend of medical education on this continent and has been favourably considered by faculty. For some years it has been in satisfactory operation in several Canadian schools. Ap¬ proval of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario must be obtained before the change can be effected.

Staff Changes

New appointments: Dr. Thomas .Beath, M.D. (Tor.), F.R.C.S. (Eng.), acting professor of surgery (a temporary appointment made necessary by the illness of Dr. L. J. Aus¬ tin) ; Dr. W.

REPORT OF THE DEAN OF WOMEN

I have the honour to submit the following report for the session 1942-43.

The number of women students in first term was 323, in second term 290, the decrease being due to academic failures of which two thirds were first year students.

An A.R.P. course was given for all undergraduate women and 261 passed the examination. A St. John Ambulance course in first aid in second term was compulsory for first year women, and open to upper year students. In all 102 attended, 85 certificates, 9 vouchers and 2 medallions were ob¬ tained. War service was given in connection with Red Cross workroom, military hospital visiting and handicrafts, finan¬ cial drives and war savings, and soldiers entertainment and canteen work. A small group of senior women in the Uni¬ versity Women’s Training Detachment, under the able direc¬ tion of Miss Marion Ross, took special drill and work in signalling and map reading. This work should be recognized by the Canadian Government as an officer training course for women who may subsequently enlist in the Army, Air Force or Navy. There are now at least 18 graduates and two of last year’s undergraduates serving in the enlisted forces.

It is a great satisfaction to have the first group of stu¬ dents who are planning to take the newly established course towards the degree in Nursing Science. The Science Faculty has opened its doors to women but none are seeking that training here as yet. Many graduates and some of our under¬ graduates feel strongly that the doors of the Medical Faculty should likewise be opened. I should like to see courses ar¬ ranged in the Arts Faculty which would equip a student with a Pass B.A. to qualify in less than the two postgraduate years now required for the diploma of a recognized school of social work.

Ban Righ Hall and the annexes accommodated 141 stu¬ dents in first term and 135 in second, a few places in double

—42—

rooms remaining unoccupied after the exodus of weak stu¬ dents at mid term. An additional 105 students came to the hall as boarders in first term and 78 in second. The decrease was due to withdrawals from the University and of some part-time boarders on account of rationing complications. With decreased domestic staff this has been an exceedingly difficult year for the house manager, Miss A. Theal, but she has carried on with outstanding success. A system of re¬ munerated student waitress service has operated well.

Macdonnell House has again proved a success as a French- speaking residence under the care of the honorary warden, Dr. M. M. Gibb, to whom we owe a great debt of gratitude.

During summer school there were 100 students in Ban Righ Hall and two annexes. A third annex accommodated three members of staff and boys in the pre-Science special eight weeks course. A St. John Ambulance course in first aid was attended by 21 students, all of whom passed for certifi¬ cate or voucher.

I record my thanks to the university medical officer; to the wardens and student executives; and to all who have co¬ operated with me during a year of considerable strain, many problems and great activity.

Dean of Women.

REPORT OF THE SUMMER SCHOOL

I have the honour to submit the following report for the Summer School of 1942.

Registration

lows :

Men

the past	three	years is
1940	1941	1942
. 275	181	109
. 215	197	166
490	378	275

From these figures it is seen that the attendance has decreased by over one hundred per year since the beginning of the war. It will probably decrease much more before the war is over.

Of the 490 registrations in 1940, 17 were for play pro¬ duction only, and 19 were for refresher work. Of the 378 in 1941, 9 were for play production, or choral reading only, and 12 were for refresher work. Of the 275 in 1942, 29 were in one or other of the fine arts only, and 12 for refresher work. In the 1942 School of the Fine Arts, there were 13 registra¬ tions in the art section, 12 in the drama section, and 5 in the music section. Only 1 student registered in 2 of the sections. These numbers were considered good for the first year of the school.

Of the 232 students in attendance for degree credit, 75 were in the summer school for the first time; and of these, 33 were registered with Queen’s for the first time. The num¬ ber at the summer school for the first time in 1941 was 108.

All the provinces of Canada, except New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island, and also Newfoundland, Bermuda, and the United States were represented by one or more stu¬ dents.' Nearly 75 per cent of them, however, were from On¬ tario, and 19 per cent from Quebec. As usual about 90 per cent of them were teachers.

—44—

The Staff

The teaching staff was composed chiefly of regular mem¬ bers of the permanent university staff. There were however the following exceptions:

Geology — N. D. Runnals, M.A., of the Collingwood col¬ legiate institute. He has been a valued member of the sum¬ mer school staff for a number of years.

Biology — B. Kropp, Ph.D., of the anatomy department of Queen's, and N. Radforth, Ph.D., of the University of Toronto. The latter taught in the summer school also in 1940.

History — D. C. Masters, Ph.D., of the University of Manitoba. He was a lecturer in Queen's for the regular winter session 1938-39.

Classics — E. G. Berry, Ph.D., of the University of Mani¬ toba.

The names of the instructors in the School of the Fine Arts are given below.

The School of the Fine Arts

For a number of years courses in art, music, and drama have been offered in the summer school. Those in music and in art were designed not only to be of cultural value, but also to serve as additional options in the programme of studies for the B.A. degree. The course in drama did not carry credit towards a degree, but it was valuable as a cultural discipline and as a training for teachers responsible for dramatics in the primary and secondary schools.

Last year the University established a School of the Fine Arts as a unit within the regular Summer School in July and August, and it functioned for the first time in 1942. The staff of the school was as follows: In art — Professor Andre Bieler, resident artist and professor of art at Queen's Uni¬ versity and Mr. Edwin H. Holgate, R.C.A. ; in drama — Dr. W. Angus, director of dramatics at Queen's University, and Mr. Charles B. Rittenhouse, M.A., supervisor of speech training

—45—

and dramatics for the Montreal Protestant Board of School Commissioners; in music — Dr. F. L. Harrison, professor of music at Queen’s University, Mr. L. R. Bell, M.A., director of music, Ontario College of Education and University of Toronto Schools, and Madame Tania Flaw.

With the establishment of the new school, it was arranged that there should be a course in drama, as well as in art and music, which summer school students might take as an option towards the B.A. degree.

The classes in art were attended by 28 students of whom 7 were visitors from the regular summer school, and 8 aimed at credits towards a degree. In drama, out of 35 attending classes 16 were visitors and 7 aimed at degree credit. In music, out of 18 attending classes 8 were visitors and 5 aimed at degree credit.

During the session four public performances were given. The first one was a presentation of three one-act plays di¬ rected by students of the school. The second was a School Assembly Dramatics Programme, under the direction of Mr. Rittenhouse. It included a children’s play, and choral readings by a choir of high school pupils, and by a choir of summer school students. The third was a presentation of the Russian play. Distant Point. It was the first presentation of this play in North America, and it was a distinct success. Both Dr. Angus and Mr. Rittenhouse were members of the cast. The fourth was a presentation of Gilbert and Sullivan’s H.M.S. Pinafore. It was offered to full houses on two successive nights.

In addition to these formal presentations two informal ones were also open to the students. One was a musical evening on two pianos, and on piano and organ, by Madame Flaw and Dr. Harrison. The other was a dramatic art recital given by Mr. Rittenhouse and Dr. Angus. The music room in the Douglas Library was open from 5.00 to 6.00 each evening for students who would care to listen to gramaphone records.

Addresses to Students

It has been the custom in the summer school for many years to have a sing-song in Grant Hall each Sunday evening, and to have a guest speaker to give an address on some im¬ portant topic. The guest speakers in 1942 were the following :

The Hon. Angus Macdonald, minister of national defence for naval services at Ottawa and member of parliament for Kingston; Principal R. C. Wallace; Professor G. H. Clarke; Professor W. E. C. Harrison; and Professor D. 0. Hebb.

On the evening of the first day of the School of the Fine Arts, Professor Bieler gave an illustrated lecture on art which was open to all the students.

These lectures, together with the public presentations of music and drama, and the exhibition of art seen at any time in the art studio, make up a fine total of cultural extras which was available to every student of the summer school.

With the Students

The characteristic atmosphere of the summer school was not wanting in 1942. What the students do, whether it be work or play, they do it with a keen enthusiasm. This is due partly to the location and surroundings of the school, but it is due mainly to years of conscious development by the stu¬ dents themselves. They plan for it before the session opens, and new students fall in with it early. The opening message to the students in July by Miss Kay Mead, the president of the Q.S.S.A., put it briefly in these words, “You are a stranger at Queen’s only as long as you choose to remain so.”

There were three groups of students on the campus in July and August, namely the S.S. students, the R.C.A.F. radio group, and the medical students. Early in July these groups arrived at an understanding as to the use of sports facilities, such as tennis courts, swimming pool, etc.; and the arrange¬ ments made were quite satisfactory.

There was no military training offered in 1942 to the men students in the summer school. In 1941, part of the

—47—

C.O.T.C. training was offered, and a good number of students passed the examination on it. This could not be done in 1942, since the C.O.T.C. training was put on a new basis, and the examinations were done away with. The St. John Ambulance Association course in first aid was however offered to the women students, and 21 of them wrote and passed the ex¬ amination.

The. Q.S.S.A. gave a good deal of consideration during the summer to the change in the statements of summer school and extramural fees. It finally agreed to the proposal to sub¬ stitute one comprehensive fee for the several smaller fees formerly specified.

The practice of attending classes other than those for which the student is registered was continued this year as in past years. On a rough average there is one student visitor in every class for every four students registered for the class. The practice is a good one.

The studio hour was held on August 10. This is a mixed concert given annually by students of the school. Its pur¬ pose is to collect money in aid of the fund for the MacClement prizes. This fund is gradually increasing, and by and by it will provide an endowment for the prizes.

The Curtis memorial scholarship for 1942 was awarded to Mr. W. H. Kesterton, Regina, Saskatchewan. This schol¬ arship has a value of $56.00, and is given to the best student completing the B.A. course by extramural and summer school work.

The MacClement prizes of $16.00 each were awarded as follows :

English 2 — Mr. John F. Trueman, Montreal, Quebec.

History 3 — Miss Frances Rawn, Atikokan, Ontario.

Philosophy 1 — Miss Frances Foster, Westmount, Quebec.

Biology 1 — Miss Margaret Mann, Richmond, Ontario.

Just before the close of the session, the annual conference was held between members of the Senate and representative^^

—48—

of the Queen’s Summer School Association. The purpose of the conference is to consider suggestions for improvements in the work of the school; and much of the development of the last thirty years has resulted from such annual con¬ ferences.

J. Matheson,

Acting Director of the Summer School.

DEPARTMENT OF UNIVERSITY EXTENSION

In the absence of Mr. R. M. Winter who is on active service with the Royal Canadian Air Force, I have the honour to submit the report of the Department of University Exten¬ sion for the academic year ending March 31, 1943. While our prime concern is with our extramural facilities, we have tried to keep in touch with organizations and institutions to which the University might be of service.

Extramural Courses

The war has had a definite effect on our extramural registration. An ever-increasing number of our students are joining the armed services or working in war plants. A large number of teachers work on farms or in war plants during July and August which prevents their attendance at summer school.

In the summer of 1942 there were 296 women and 325 men registered, a total of 621. In the winter of 1942-43, 778 students were registered of whom 315 were women and 461 men. In the summer school there were 109 men and 166 women, a total of 275. As some students were registered in both sessions and in the summer school, the net registration for the year was 1185 which includes nine students taking upper school courses. Of this number 106 are on overseas service.

A large number of men and women on active service are taking correspondence courses with this department. Ar¬ rangements are made for them to write examinations in the camp or school area wherever they may be located at exam¬ ination time. We have found the authorities very cooperative and helpful in making the necessary arrangements. The men, however, find it difficult to study in their quarters as there are so many crowded together and most camps do not have accommodation for those wishing a quiet place to study and to prepare assignments.

—50—

A number of examination papers have been prepared and sent overseas. Returns have been made by the overseas director of the Canadian Legion Educational Services for nine students — eight of whom passed the examinations.

We have continued to extend our facilities to refugee students. However, the number registered is smaller than last year due to the release of many of them, some of whom are in attendance at the intramural session of the University.

Omitting those on active service, about 95 per cent of our students are teachers with the other 5 per cent being made up of civil servants, housewives, a chemist, an analyst, a veterinary surgeon and people in business.

Of the provinces outside of Ontario, we continue to draw our largest number of students from Quebec. The distribution of our net registration is as follows:

British Columbia . 38

Alberta . 77

Saskatchewan . 25

Manitoba . 24

Ontario . 735

Quebec . 138

New Brunswick . 9

Nova Scotia . 19

Prince Edward Island . 1

Yukon . 1

Newfoundland . 4

United States . 7

Bermuda . 1

Overseas . 106

Summer School

In the Summer School of 1942 there was established a School of the Fine Arts in which art, drama and music were taught. On the completion of a course a certificate was awarded. The courses might be counted on a pass degree in Arts, if the student was a degree candidate. There were 275 students in attendance in the Summer School of which 30 were in the School of the Fine Arts. A detailed report of the summer school has been given by Dean Matheson, as director.

National Film Board

A 16 mm. sound moving picture projector has been loaned to the University by the National Film Board for the use of Adult Education groups in this district. The board has deposited with the department a number of films which may be borrowed free of charge by organizations. Miss Hilda

—51—

Angrove of this department has been given charge of the arrangements for this project. She has learned to operate the machine which has been in demand to a great extent during the winter. About forty additional films will be stored with this department for the use of an industrial circuit which is being conducted by the National Film Board.

Films have been loaned to the Y.M.C.A. War Services, Salvation Army, Service Clubs, Home and School Clubs, Regiopolis College, the Army Camps and Red Cross.

Firemen's Training School

In cooperation with the Fire Marshal of Ontario and the Dominion Association of Fire Chiefs, a Firemen's Training School was conducted at the University on April 23-24. Members of permanent and volunteer fire brigades from Eastern Ontario as well as members from various military camps were in attendance. The proceedings of the school were published in mimeographed form by this department. Miss Hilda Angrove completed the arrangements as Mr. Winter had left before the school started.

I should like to express my appreciation to the members of the department, particularly to Miss Mary Andrews and Miss Hilda Angrove, for their cooperation throughout the year.

Kathleen Healey, Assistant to the Director.

REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN

I have the honour to present my annual report upon the work of the university library.

Stock of Books

Our stock of books in March, 1942, was 202,295 volumes. During 1942-43 we added by purchase 1,456; by gift 1,579; and gained, through exchange, 19 volumes. Volumes added through binding 215; catalogued in Miller Hall 60; and in the McNicol collection 160. These 3,489 volumes added to the total stock on March 31, 1942, give use 205,784 volumes, from which must be deducted 465 lost or discarded. The total stock on March 31st, 1943, is 205,319 volumes.

Issue of Books

Again our issues have somewhat decreased, due princi¬ pally to the decrease in the number of borrowers. The largest decline has been in reserved books; the circulation depart¬ ment only dropped by 274 and the issue in the medical and biological library increased by nearly 500. The number of borrowers in the circulation department was 1,608, includ¬ ing 89 members of the armed forces. Our total issue is made up as follows:

Order Department

The work of the order department is summarized as follows :

—53

Books ordered, 1630 (in addition, many books, periodicals and govern¬ ment documents were obtained for the industrial relations section) .

Extramural. 82 new deposits amounting to $242.50 38 refunds amounting to $119.92 656 books and 150 cards and letters posted.

Inter-library loans. 102 volumes were loaned to other libraries; and 207 volumes were borrowed from other libraries. 7 micro¬ films and 4 photostats were procured in place of borrowing heavy periodicals from U.S.A. libraries.

Queen’s bindery. 746 volumes bound or repaired. A large number of pamphlet covers, etc., made for the McNicol collection. 16 maps mounted.

New subscriptions. New subscriptions were placed for 15 journals, and 12 old subscriptions were cancelled or suspended.

Monthly^ financial statements were prepared and issued. Gifts were re¬ ceived and acknowledged from 90 individual donors. In addition we received much material from the Smithsonian Institution and the Carnegie Institute for International Peace.

Cataloguing Department

Miss Marjorie Sherlock, head cataloguer, reports: “Dur¬ ing the past year the cataloguing department has operated under difficulties, owing to staff changes, vacancies and ill¬ ness. For three months the work of four people was carried on by Miss Brooks and myself and her adaptability and co¬ operation at this rather difficult time were of the greatest assistance to me.” During the year the preparation of the catalogue of the McNicol collection was completed, with the assistance of Miss Porteous, and was published in January, 1943. During the year 3857 volumes were accessioned; 2215 titles were catalogued; and 13087 catalogue cards were writ¬ ten. Pasting, labelling, and other mechanical duties in pre¬ paring books for circulation were exercised on 4187 volumes.

Departments of Reference and Documents

The document collection is a source for constant con¬ sultation. Students and staff are becoming more aware of its value and more familiar with the naturally very complicated arrangement. As for the reference department. Miss Helen Ireland reports : “Every type of reference question continues to be asked, with technical and scientific queries predominat¬ ing.” The slight decline in the number of documents circu-

—54—

lated is possibly due in part to the lack of assistance during two periods of the year. From April to July, 1942, Miss O’Connor was without help; and following Miss O’Connor’s resignation in January Miss Ireland was alone until March 15th. Miss Burdetta Harmon then joined the staff as an as¬ sistant in the reference department and is giving good ser¬ vice. In all 5841 documents were received.

Gifts

The numerous gifts during the year included some large and valuable donations. We may especially note the closing gift of the Lome Pierce collection, 81 important volumes. The catalogue is now in preparation. We are indebted to Senator Hardy for many beautifully bound additions of stan¬ dard works; to Dr. A. L. Harris for early Kingston news¬ papers (a very much valued gift) ; to the estate of Dr. Thomas Gibson for about 100 volumes. Mr. Edmund J. Tett, of New- boro, gave us day books, account books, and letters that had been in the family for nearly a century. Mrs. A. E. Day pre¬ sented us with the library of her late husband (a very useful gift) ; Miss Kathleen Saunders gave a number of volumes, the property of the late Miss Lois Saunders, formerly and for many years librarian of this University; also two admirable paintings from the same hand. Dr. Henry E. Sigerist, as the result of a note in the Queeyi's Review, presented us with 83 volumes and pamphlets, many of them his own work. Scien¬ tific works came from Dean A. L. Clark; and at the end of the year a number of small but important pamphlets were sent to us from Moscow. They were recently issued by the U.S.S.R. Society for Cultural Relations with Foreign Coun¬ tries, are written in excellent English and deal with various aspects of the present war, but especially with Nazi outrages. Volumes of medical interest came to us from Dr. Archibald Malloch, of White Plains, New York; several fine old books were sent from England by Captains J. A. McManus and G. Austin Walters. These two are prominent among a group of medical graduates who have set themselves to collect rare works on the history of medicine, as a memorial to Dr. Thom^

—55—

as Gibson and as a preliminary to the endowment of a reading room devoted to that subject.

It may be here not out of place to mention again a gift made to us some time ago. Certain valuable books on archi¬ tecture given by Mr. D. D. Calvin, of Toronto, have proved of the greatest use to individual students and to professors deal¬ ing with the art and architecture of various periods of history.

Our thanks have been expressed individually to the friends above named, and are here offered collectively.

General

The catalogue of the McNicol collection on which Miss Sherlock and Miss Porteous were engaged for nearly twelve months was published in January. The printing was facili¬ tated by a very kind gift of $50.00 from Mr. Donald McNicol.

The librarian produced “A note on the manuscript col¬ lection in the Douglas Library,” which was dignified by a forev^ord from Dr. W. E. McNeill and has been published as a twenty-eight page pamphlet, for distribution.

Staff

We regret the loss of Miss Mary O’Connor, now librarian of^the Nylon Plant, and of Miss Anella Minnes, who removed from Kingston. Sickness temporarily deprived us of the ser¬ vice of Miss Elizabeth Macdonald and placed added burdens upon j those who were left in the cataloguing department. Miss ,Helen Kelley, a graduate of Queen’s and of the Toronto Lib¬ rary School, strengthened the order department.

It is a pleasure for the librarian to acknowledge the gallant work of the staff in general and to note the team spirit that has enabled the library to give good service throughout a difficult year.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON SCIENTIFIC

RESEARCH

The Science Research Committee presents the following report on work done during the present session.

The amount of research work that can be published is somewhat less than it has been in recent years and there are many reasons for this. In some departments important war researches are occupying the attention of certain members of the staff. In others, inability to obtain equipment is mak¬ ing the prosecution of research, some of which is well- established, difficult, if not impossible. In addition several members of staff are serving on war committees and the load of teaching caused by the absence-on-leave of some of our professors leaves others but little time for active research. Even since our last report several staff members have been drafted for work by the National Research Council and by one or other of the Allied governments. Finally the number of students available as summ.er assistants and for postgradu¬ ate research is less than in former years. In spite of these difficulties, so peculiar to war-time, a considerable amount of work has been done, as the reports given below will show.

We have always regarded our policy of engaging sum¬ mer research assistants as one of the most important of our activities. Further evidence that this policy is a sound one is shown by the fact that many former research assistants are doing extremely important war work. Others, while doing essential war work, have been unable to carry out postgradu¬ ate research. Of necessity, this means that we will have to build up our laboratories so that we can help men like these after the war, in addition to students who are about to graduate.

We have received another grant in aid of research from Mrs. James A. Richardson of Winnipeg and we wish to ex¬ press to her our sincere thanks for this. It is by means of such gifts that we will be able eventually to carry out the

—57—

programme we have in mind, one which will be of increasing importance in the years that follow the war.

Reports from individual members of staff follow.

Dr. J. A. McRae has submitted the following statement regarding work done during the past year:

(a) With R. Y. Moir, M.A., a study of the halogenated metameconines has been continued.

(b) With W. H. Stevens, M.Sc., a study was made of the action of the Grignard reagents on diarylsuccinonitriles. This led to a synthesis of the oestrogenic substance “diethyl- stilboestrol."’

(c) With W. M. Maynard, B.Sc., the action of sodium hypobromite on p-chlorodiphenylsuccinic amide is being re¬ investigated.

(d) With several students in their final year the follow¬ ing topics are under investigation: (i) the action of the Grignard reagent on diphenylsuccinic anhydride; (ii) the action of the Grignard reagent on p-tolyl phenylsuccinonitrile ; (iii) the condensation of tert-butylbenzaldehyde and benzyl cyanide; (iv) the products of decomposition of resins from some higher alkylphenols and formaldehyde.

Dr. R. G. Sinclair states that for the most part his re¬ searches have been a continuation of earlier work on the nutritive values of various fats, and on the adaptation of new methods for lipid studies. Mrs. Chipman, working in his laboratory, has obtained interesting and important results from her study of the comparative composition of cholesterol esters and liver glycerides.

Dr. G. Krotkov reports that investigations of the carbo¬ hydrate and insoluble phosphorus metabolisms of McIntosh apples have been continued for the third successive year, and this piece of work is near its completion. Work has also been begun on the metabolism of organic acids in apples, and the results obtained so far have been encouraging.

Dr. E. L. Bruce’s report follows:

“During the past year work in the department of gradu¬ ate geology has been confined chiefly to a study of occurrences of base metals and strategic minerals. Last year a study of the occurrence of brucite Mg (OH) 2 at a locality north of Tichborne was studied. Another larger occurrence east of North Bay was studied by Dr. M. L. Keith during the past summer and during the winter he has made a detailed ex¬ amination of the material collected. Experiments on the formation of brucite from dolomite made many years ago are being repeated under more rigid control. J. M. Harrison studied in detail an area of basic intrusives north of Kingston and is completing laboratory examination of specimens col¬ lected this winter. Some parts of these intrusives contain as much as 26 per cent AI2O3. Deposits of titanium and phos¬ phorus-bearing minerals are associated with the igneous masses. G. Leech is completing a study of the occurrence of chromite in the Bridge River area of British Columbia, and Rene Beland of zinc lead minerals in Gaspe. He is paying special attention to material from the outcrops. Recognition of the character of this may be of value in discovering other deposits of similar minerals.

“A study of the gold-silver ratios in the ore of several Ontario gold mines has been begun. It seems possible that information may be gained showing the rate of change of mineral constituents of the ore bodies with depth.”

Dr. J. Wyllie says that owing to the acceleration of the medical curriculum which necessitated teaching during the summer months there was little time for the prosecution of active, continuous research. He has, however, begun some work on the estimation of fluorine in water by different methods. Water samples were collected from a rural area in Victor iaville, Quebec, where a survey was carried out on school children to ascertain the prevalence of goitre in associ¬ ation with mottled enamel of the teeth. Some photographs were taken of children showing these conditions. The water samples are being analysed for the amount of fluorine present..

—59—

Dr. B. Kropp has continued his work on the growth of trophoblast and the early development of the placenta. With the aid of his assistants, Miss Archibald and Mr. Kee, ex¬ perimental rat and human material accumulated previously was prepared, studied and photographed.

Dr. L. A. Munro has been working on a problem for the Department of National Defence.

Dr. J. E. Hawley has been engaged in field studies of potential copper producing districts in Quebec, and in making a structural study of certain gold deposits in Ontario and Quebec.

Dr. G. H. Ettinger and Dr. Margaret Sawyer have prac¬ tically completed an investigation into the effect on the coron¬ ary artery of repeated vagal stimulation, by the use of pos¬ terior pituitary extract. They have not produced coronary thrombosis, and feel that the condition cannot be attributable to over-excitement of the vagus mechanism. With the assist¬ ance of Miss Doreen Jeffs, Dr. Ettinger has completed an investigation into the effects on exercise tolerance in the dog of repeated daily infusions of large amounts of adrenal corti¬ cal extract. The effect has been to reduce the exercise toler¬ ance without seriously disturbing the blood chemistry, and without causing atrophy of the suprarenal glands.

Dr. E. G. Taylor has studied the reactions of dicyanotri- azole. Several new compounds have been prepared and the conductance curves of some of these compounds have been established. The results are to be published shortly. A be¬ ginning has been made in ascertaining the behaviour of salts containing the octadecyl group, the so-called “colloidal elec¬ trolytes,” in non-aqueous solvents. In spite of the fact that such salts show anomalies in water, in several non-aqueous solvents he has found that the conductance curves are in agreement with the theory of strong electrolytes as modified by the mass-action law. During the summer of 1942 he car¬ ried out research work at Brown University, having received an appointment as research associate in chemistry. The work completed there is due for publication in the near future.

Dr. J. Miller gave the following communications to scien¬ tific societies:

(i) A case of Pagefs disease of hone with autopsy report — Scientific Proceedings of the American Association of Pa¬ thologists and Bacteriologists, St. Louis, Missouri, April, 1942.

(ii) Struma Ovarii, Proceedings of the Ontario Associa¬ tion of Pathologists, London, Ontario, October 1942.

Dr. W. D. Hay is engaged in a survey of tuberculosis amongst first year students and a local survey of tuberculosis in a country district near Kingston.

Mr. Albert H. Vowles, technician in pathology, has de¬ vised a new method of mounting museum specimens without fluid and without glass jars. This has been published in the Journal of Technical Methods and Bulletin of the Interna¬ tional Association of Medical Museums, No. XXII, 1942, pp. 61-64.

Dr. E. M. Boyd states that almost the entire research effort of the department of pharmacology during the past year has been devoted to studies on certain war problems for the Department of National Defence. In addition, studies have been made of the expectorant action of sympathomimetic drugs and of paragoric.

Dr. R. N. Jones reports as follows:

Research work on the application of absorption spectro¬ photometry to certain aspects of the cancer problem has been continued with the assistance of Mr. C. E. Gogek. Further progress has been made in the investigation of the mode of elimination of carcinogenic hydrocarbons by rats and rabbits. Studies of the coupling of carcinogenic hydrocarbons and proteins have also been continued in cooperation with Prof. H. J. Creech of the department of biochemistry, University of Maryland. These inyestigations form part of a programme of research which was initiated in 1939 at Harvard Univer¬ sity with the support of the International Cancer Research Foundation and transferred to Queen’s University in 1942.

—61

The relationship between the ultra-violet absorption spectra and the steric configuration of certain organic com¬ pounds is also being investigated and, in addition, some war work has been undertaken for the Department of National Defence.

Dr. G. B. Reed has continued his work on gas gangrene and chemotherapy and extended it to an investigation of sulphonamide inhibiting substances produced by gas gangrene bacteria, normal and infected animal tissues. Studies on growth of anaerobes in relation with oxidation-reduction po¬ tentials and on the toxicity of sulphonamides for animal tissue cells have been completed and published.

Professor C. V. Armour is building a laboratory for the photoelastic study of indeterminate frames, but due to the difficulty of obtaining equipment under present conditions reports that there is still much to be done. He expects to be able to continue his work at the California Institute of Tech¬ nology this summer. This would serve as further preparation for the research proposed above.

Dr. J. A. Gray states that Dr. R. A. Chipman, Mr. J. G. Bayly and Mr. A. C. Burr have been engaged in studying the properties of electromagnetic waves, with the assistance dur¬ ing last summer of Mr. A. D. Berlin. Work in nuclear physics has been continued and a study of certain materials by means of x-rays has been started. In both these problems Dr. Gray has had assistance from Mr, E. B. Paul and Mr. A. M. Munn.

Mr. R. D. Bradfield, our instrument maker, has been engaged on work which has proved to be of great value. This work has been beautifully done and his ability for im¬ proving designs submitted to him is a great asset to us.

We wish once more to thank the administrative officers of the University and the members of the Board of Trustees for their continued support.

REPORT OF THE ARTS RESEARCH COMMITTEE

The committee has again had at its disposal the sum of $1500 as its share of the generous gift made by Mrs. James Richardson for the purpose of furthering research in the University. Some of the projects for which part of this fund was allocated during 1942 have had to be deferred because those responsible for them were engaged in activities con¬ nected with the war, but a number of investigations have been pursued and the fund has been applied for the same purposes as were outlined in last year’s report.

The following members of the faculty have reported on research activities upon which they are now actively engaged or which they will undertake in the near future. An account of work actually published by members of the Faculty of Arts appears elsewhere in this volume.

Professor H. Alexander has turned his attention to the new war vocabulary, the collection of Canadian dialects hav¬ ing become a hazardous occupation in war time. An article, a radio talk for the C.B.C., and a paper for the Modern Lang¬ uage Association have emerged from this investigation.

During the first world war and the year that succeeded it Professor George Herbert Clarke collected and edited (in two volumes) the more notable British and American poems re¬ lating to that struggle, under the title A Treasury of War Poetry. He has now made a corresponding collection of more than 150 poems of the present war, to be called The Neiv Treasury of War Poetry: Poems of the Second World War, which will appear this spring. The new collection contains an editorial introduction and notes.

Mr. F. W. Gibson is working in the field of Canadian- American relations and is preparing a thesis on the Alaskan boundary dispute. He is also beginning an investigation of the problems of administrative controls.

Professor W. E. C. Harrison has finished his work on Ludovicio da L’Armi, which has been accepted for publication

—63—

in the Journal of Modern History. He has also been prepar¬ ing a paper on the significance of the life and reign of Queen Mary I of England, which is to appear in the University of Toronto Quarterly. Other studies in early Tudor biography are in hand.

He is now engaged on a survey of the year’s literature on international affairs for the Canadian Historical Review. Part of this work is complete and will appear under the title of The Anatomy of War in the next issue of the C.H.R. His collection of material on the problem of fundamentals in British politics has been increased during the year and will be developed and analysed this summer with the assistance of Miss Elizabeth Uprichard.

Professor Henel reports" “Progress was made last sum¬ mer in the study of certain themes of poetry and their treat¬ ment through several centuries of German literary history. Miss Brenda Wallace helped in this work as research assist¬ ant on a grant from the Arts Research Committee.

“A paper on the works of the Swiss poet Conrad Ferdin¬ and Meyer was to be read to the convention of the Modern Language Association in December 1942, but the meeting was cancelled. It is hoped to expand the paper and prepare it for publication.”

Professor George Humphrey has acted as chairman of the test research committee of the Canadian Psychological Association which is working for the Department of National Defence. During the past year this committee has prepared an alternative form for the “M” test used in personnel classi¬ fication. Among projects in hand are the preparation of a second alternative for “M” tests for superior and inferior intelligences, and selected trades tests.

Professor J. L. McDougall, with the help of a research assistant, is continuing his investigations of the two main Canadian railway systems on lines indicated in last year’s report.

—64—

Professor G. Shortliffe states that work for the Columbia Encyclopaedia of Modern European Literature has been com¬ pleted and awaits publication. Work is continuing on Marcel Prevost, for a forthcoming critical bibliography of French literature.

Professor H. L. Tracy is continuing (with the help of a research assistant) a study of production in Greek Tragedy, with special reference to scenic allusions and general ex¬ pository material in the dialogue.

REPORT OF THE ART DEPARTMENT

The activities of the art department have been somewhat increased this year with the expansion of our summer school programme. In previous years the summer school course was designed mainly for college students and followed in a general way the pattern of the winter studies. This year, however, with the formation of the Summer School of Fine Arts we have drawn to the studio and lecture room young artists and teachers of art who want to avail themselves of our excellent facilities and take part in the instructive lectures given to the students. The lecture programme has been altered to meet the requirements of this new element and a close and interesting comradeship has resulted from working together of these two groups in the beautiful landscape of the surrounding district.

One of Canada’s most prominent artists, Mr. Edwin Hol- gate, joined our staff for the summer session to the satisfaction and benefit of all. His appointment to the R.C.A.F. for war records has deprived us of his collaboration for the coming summer.

The winter work of the art department is usually divided into three main activities.

The art course and studio instruction to university stu¬ dents, where I report a slight diminution in numbers, due probably to the inability of men students to attend, had only two male students this year.

The studio classes for members of the Kingston Art As¬ sociation, members of the armed forces and school children. This year in the studio, at the request of some members, em¬ phasis was put on painting, rather than drawing from the model as in other years. The children’s work was very satis¬ factory this year, due to the care and attention of Mrs. Eliza¬ beth Harrison of this department. The attention of the public was drawn to the work of the children by two articles in the press, one in the Whig -Standard and the other in the Toronto Star. The children had the satisfaction of seeing their work

—66—

on the walls of our exhibition room and also of sending paint¬ ings to the National Gallery in Ottawa.

The third activity of importance in the art department is the gathering and handling of exhibitions. It was with great satisfaction that this department’s wish for the renovation of the exhibition room was undertaken so successfully by the Faculty Women’s Club. An important exhibition by the artists of Kingston started the schedule this year. Mr. Grant Mac¬ donald, well known for his drawings in the press, was repre¬ sented by some striking paintings. Mrs,. Harrison had some interesting paintings of war activities in and around Kingston. Other exhibitors were Mrs. Marjorie Winslow, Miss Gwen Dawson and Mr. Andre Bieler. Other exhibitions of interest this year were a collection of original engravings from early times to Whistler and Millet, a collection of contemporary paintings by a Montreal group, the annual photographic salon by the Camera Club of Queen’s, an exhibition of sketches of Greenland by Naomi Jackson and sketches by the Canadian Group of Painters to end the season.

Lectures — The fine arts faculty were particularly fortun¬ ate this year in being able to present in a series of lectures in¬ teresting aspects of their particular subjects. Painting and its changes in the contemporary world was the subject of Profes¬ sor Bieler’s lecture. The lecture was illustrated with coloured slides. Professor Bieler is also addressing the Ontario Associa¬ tion of Teachers in Art at the Easter convention, and Miss Naomi Jackson at the time of the opening of the exhibition gave a lecture on the arts of Greenland.

REPORT OF THE RESIDENT MUSICIAN

In the work of the music division of the School of Fine Arts, the resident musician had the valuable assistance of Mr. Leslie Bell, director of music at the Ontario College of Educa¬ tion, and of Mme. Tania Flaw. Classes were held in history of music, in composition, and in the conducting and technique of the school choir and orchestra. Mme. Flaw conducted a class in pianoforte technique and repertoire.

At the close of the summer session students of the School of the Fine Arts and the University Summer School presented H.M.S. Pinafore with orchestral accompaniment.

There has been an increased number of musical events during the session. A film-concert was shown in Convocation Hall on November 30th. A university concerts committee was appointed by the Senate, and, under the chairmanship of Dr. H. L. Tracy, announced a series of three concerts. All seats in Convocation Hall were sold, and the response was such as to encourage the hope of a concert series becoming a regular feature of the winter session. The following artists performed : Tania Flaw and Frank Harrison, duo-pianists; Gerhard Kan- der, violinist, with Helmut Blume, pianist, and Hans Neu- mark, accompanist; Nora Conklin Skitch, contralto.

The students’ Glee Club presented as their annual oper¬ atic venture Gilbert and Sullivan’s Princess Ida. Four per¬ formances were given in Convocation Hall, with accompani¬ ment of a small orchestra.

The music room, under Miss Martha Jamieson’s capable management, has continued to fulfil its function of providing daily programmes of recorded music. A gratifying result of its operations has been the addition to its collection of several albums of records, gifts of three of its frequenters. Such practical expressions of interest deserve every encourage¬ ment.

•-68—

Informal chamber music recitals, organized and directed by students, have been held in the common-room of Ban Righ Hall on several Sunday evenings during the session.

REPORT ON MEN’S PHYSICAL EDUCATION

The intramural athletic competitions have, during this past season, attracted more competitors than ever before. These competitions have served to take the place of the inter¬ collegiate competitions which were curtailed by the war as well as supplying an outlet for the athletic talents of the less gifted athletes. The experience gained from the intramural programme should serve as a basis for a future peace-time programme for those who are not of intercollegiate calibre.

Competition, however, was not completely confined to intramural sports. A fine team under the guidance of R. Elliot was entered in the City Rugby League and showed its superiority by winning every game played. The Track and Field Clubs staged a dual meet with the R.A.F. team from Collins Bay and won by a score of 31 to 23. Two basketball teams were entered in the E.O.B.A. league and one of them, the intermediate entry, won its sectional title. In the Van Horne Cup series of the City Hockey League a Queen’s team made an excellent showing and only lost out in the finals.

The formal part of the athletic programme was confined to those students who were under the compulsory age for C.O.T.C. work. A class of fifteen was given two hours in¬ struction a week in all branches of athletics. Difficulties were encountered in the second term in obtaining cooperation from the C.O.T.C. with regard to periods in the gymnasium. As a result classes could only be held between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. on those nights when the C.O.T.C. was not using the gymnasium floor. A definite arrangement should be arrived at before the start of the term next fall so that this work may be carried on without hindrance.

R. Seright,

Director of Physical Education.

REPORT ON PHYSICAL EDUCATION FOR WOMEN

It was decided this season in the interest of physical fitness, that second year as well as first year students, should receive compulsory physical training. At the beginning of the term three gymnasium classes were organized for second year girls, but not every student was able to fit one of these periods into her academic timetable. Later when the R.C.A.F. took over most of the morning hours in the gymnasium it became necessary to give all second year students credit for time spent at games. War time conditions affected the pro¬ gress made during the year. The continuous presence of the men of the R.C.A.F., the freezing by the government of such equipment as balls and badminton birds, and the difficulty of keeping existing equipment in good condition when in con¬ stant use, combined to upset an efficiently planned programme. In spite of the many interruptions the additional year showed successful results in enthusiasm and increased fitness.

Miss Lynn Johnson, swimming instructor, reports a de¬ crease in attendance after Christmas. This was due partly to the coolness of the tank, and partly to the increasing tendency for girls to take subjects that include laboratory periods during swimming hours.

The Levana Athletic Board of Control had a very suc¬ cessful year under the presidency of Ann Shaw, and carried out an ambitious programme of intramural sports in spite of the difficulties of wartime conditions. Basketball especi¬ ally had a successful year when for the first time it was possible to organize a city league. Eight teams entered the league and were divided into senior and intermediate groups, with teams from Queen’s competing in both groups.

The Queen’s detachment of the Red Cross Corps com¬ pleted its third and most successful year. The number en¬ rolled was not large, but enthusiasm remained high through-

—71

out the year. Their programme, in addition to drill and basic training, included map reading, signals, and orderly room procedure.

Physical Director for Women.

REPORT OF THE MEDICAL HEALTH OFFICER

The following is the report of the medical services ren¬ dered to students in attendance at the University covering the period September, 1942 to March 31st, 1943.

All members of the freshmen classes were physically examined and tuberculin tested. One student was excluded at this time because of a history of recent pulmonary tuber¬ culosis.

Office consultations numbered 1705. Hospital admissions numbered 269. Of this number 213 were medical cases, 26 were surgical cases and 30 were infectious diseases.

Respiratory infections accounted for many of the hos¬ pital admissions. During the months of February and March numerous cases of mumps and scarlet fever were seen. These were mild cases fortunately.

A mass X-ray survey was carried out during the month of February, by the Ontario Department of Health. The student body and staff were covered by the survey. The re¬ sults were very encouraging. A total of 1656 X-rays were taken and two positive cases of pulmonary tuberculosis were found.

A comparison of the results obtained in the above survey, with the findings on tuberculin testing, indicates the X-ray survey is a much more accurate method of dealing with the problem of tuberculosis prevention within the University.

I suggest that all freshmen be X-rayed at time of regis¬ tration and every second year thereafter while in attendance at the University.

Student Medical Officer.

REPORT OF THE QUEEN’S UNIVERSITY CONTINGENT CANADIAN OFFICERS’ TRAINING CORPS

The contingent spent two weeks in camp at Connaught Ranges in September.

All students taking army training during the past ses¬ sion, were enlisted in the C.O.T.C. except for aliens (14).

The syllabus was changed last spring to provide only basic training and a special practical course preparatory for Officers’ Training Centres of the Active Army. This work required fewer lectures than formerly and much more prac¬ tical instruction by student officers and N.C.O.’s. In order to prepare these student instructors, a course of 60 hours was provided by the administrative and training staff.

Strength in October was 954 but this was reduced during the session by 193 because of discharge of medical students entering clinical years and of others enlisting in the U.A.T.C.

The contingent was inspected by the D.O.C. in camp 16 September and at the University, 6 February.

The American Legion scholarship was won by Sgt. S. A. Martin.

During the training session 1941-42 assets were increased by $11,024.14.

REPORT OF NO. 4 (queen’s university) SQUADRON UNIVERSITY AIR TRAINING CORPS

At the beginning of the academic season 1942-43, No. 4 (Queen’s University) Squadron, University Air Training Corps, R.C.A.F., was formed, under the command of Squad¬ ron Leader H. L. Tracy. Flight Lieutenant A. R. Fairbairn was appointed as administrative officer. Original enlist¬ ments amounted to 142. A syllabus of drill and lecture parades was begun immediately. The squadron was increased by a further enlistment of 98 airmen in November. The training programme had to be somewhat retarded in order to bring the two groups abreast by Christmas, and it was consequently necessary to continue training through the month of March. During the season 18 airmen have enlisted in the Active R.C.A.F.

The instruction offered in any year is equivalent to half the syllabus of an R.C.A.F. Initial Training School. The subjects are: administration and law, mathematics, naviga¬ tion, airmanship, aircraft recognition and signals, in addition to drill. The syllabus will be completed at an R.C.A.F. camp, which all airmen will attend.

Instruction has been given partly by members of the university staff, partly by personnel of the R.A.F. and R.C.A.F. from local stations. Grateful acknowledgement is due to Professors K. P. Johnston, H. W. Harkness, S. L. Edgett and Mr. J. D. Lee; also to Group Captain Le Pour Trench, Commanding Officer of No. 31 S.F.T.S., R.A.F., at Collins Bay and to Flight Lieutenant Brown of the same unit who acted as liaison officer; and to Flying Officer Watson and Pilot Officer Lemon of No. 18 Pre-Aircrew Educational Detachment at Queen’s University, who gave some assistance in navigation.

The Commanding Officer wishes to put on record an obligation he can hardly estimate to Flight Lieutenant Fair¬ bairn for his indispensable services; to Warrant Officer Me-

—75—

Naughton, G. A. and Flight Sergeant Ellis, R. B. for their faithful work in the orderly room; and to the airmen them¬ selves for cheerful cooperation at all times.

REPORT OF THE ATHLETIC BOARD OF CONTROL

In the face of curtailment of time, equipment and ac¬ commodation we were able, this session, to carry out a suc¬ cessful programme of intramural athletics.

The football team ran through its schedule in the City League without a defeat. A total of 110 points was scored against 6 by all our opponents.

The intermediate and junior basketball teams both won their group championships in the Eastern Ontario Basket¬ ball Association.

In the intramural series large entry lists were made in each section. The cross country race fielded a particularly large crowd. The track meet carried on almost to darkness because of the numbers entered. There were 96 entries in the intramural wrestling and 48 entries in the boxing com¬ petitions. Participation in the other athletic activities was equally large. Statistics show that there were 2600 partici¬ pants in intramural sports activities so that with a registra¬ tion of about 1200 men the average is better than two sports for each student.

The rink has been an extremely busy place this winter. Senior hockey has been provided and well supported, whilst the large number of service people stationed here has taxed the rink facilities to the limit all winter. The rink was opened for skating 196 times, a new record.

Student use of the gymnasium has suffered curtailment on account of partial occupation by the R.C.A.F. and the C.O.T.C. However the limited space has been well used. The pool continues to be extensively used at all times.

Secretary-Treasurer.

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL OF NAVIGATION

I have the honour to present herewith the annual report on the work of the twenty-ninth session of the School of Navigation. The attendance this year has again been low. The lessened demand for officers in the river and lakes traffic and the increased demand for war shipping as well as the unusual opportunities for remunerative employment have brought about a greatly diminished interest in study for higher certificates.

The requirements for certificates are the same as for last year with the same emphasis on ability to signal with flags, lamps, etc. This new work in itself requires consider¬ able time for practice.

While the conditions which have caused a falling off in attendance will probably prevail for a year or two more, there is certain to be demand later for officers and this de¬ mand will be difficult to meet. It is therefore important that the school be operated continuously so that it may again serve the needs of the service. It is proposed this summer to canvass the people qualified in order to bring the facilities of the school to their attention.

The usual eye examinations for pilots have been con¬ ducted at the school this year.

During the 29 years of operation 616 men have taken advantage of the work of the school. Almost half of these have been awarded government certificates.

REPORT OF THE ALMA MATER SOCIETY

The election of the executive of the society for the 1942- 43 session was held late in November since it was necessary to await the return of some 220 Arts and Commerce men who travelled west to help in one of Canada’s most abundant harvests. On election day more than 90% of the eligible voters went to the polls indicating a keen interest on the part of the students in their government.

For the first time the Alma Mater Society published Who's Where at Queen's, a combined students’ directory and handbook. The venture was very successful financially and proved to be popular with the students so that the executive decided to continue the yearly publication of the new booklet. The publication of The Tricolor, at the time of writing, promises to be a financial success for the first time in several years; increased advertising and profits from The Tricolor's Sadie Hawkins dance have meant increases in revenue. There were forty publications of the Queen's Journal and this year, by cutting the size of the Tuesday and Friday issues to four and six pages respectively, costs were reduced $20.00 an issue; this will mean that the financial statement of the Journal will show a small profit.

There were seven Oven Houses held during the year and these were all quite successful. Colour Night was not held this year due to the difficulties of securing a caterer for the ban¬ quet and to the lessening popularity of the affair since the cessation of intercollegiate sport; it is to be hoped Colour Night will come into its own again with the return of normal times. The athletic and extracurricular awards were made in Convocation Hall, the evening of the annual meeting.

The society was fortunate in securing Mr. Percy J. Philip, Ottawa correspondent for the New York Times, as speaker for its lectureship. His address. The Tomorrows That Sing, given in Grant Hall before a splendid student turnout wa^ very well received and appreciated.

The cafeteria in the Students’ Union was forced to close to students the first week in February; this was due to help shortage and food problems coupled with the continuing necessity to feed some one hundred and fifty Air Force per¬ sonnel stationed in the gymnasium. At this time of writing work is under way to provide mess facilities for the Air Force personnel in the basement of Grant Hall and it is ex¬ pected the cafeteria will be open to students at least before the start of the spring examinations.

During the year more than 50% of the student body were Red Cross voluntary blood donors. This campaign, under the supervision of Dr. E. M. Boyd, was responsible for the donation of more than a third of a ton of much needed blood.

A major change in the A.M.S. constitution was made when the student members, in a plebiscite held early in March, approved a new system of the election of the presi¬ dent, i.e. by an electoral college of sixteen to meet and vote the day before the annual meeting in March. It was felt that the electoral college would ensure the election of the most capable senior representative to the presidency whereas the system being abandoned had been reduced more or less to a test of strength in which the weight of votes from the largest faculty predominated. The announcement that Art Holloway, the Science senior representative, had been elected by elect¬ oral college was made at the annual meeting.

Over $400 was raised by the 1. S. S. by various means such as a carnival, tag day, etc. At the final meeting the A.M.S. executive agreed to purchase a $1,500.00 bond in the forthcoming Victory Loan, the money being available from funds collected variously for such a purpose.

The attendance at the executive meetings was 85% for the year. In conclusion it is gratifying to be able to say thank you for the interest shown and the cooperation given by all members of the executive and by those on the staff with whom we had occasion to meet.

Lenox Lane,

President.

REPORT OF THE GENERAL ALUMNI ASSOCIATION

I beg to submit the following report for the year ending on March 31, 1943.

In the continued absence of Mr. H. J. Hamilton, who was given special leave in November, 1941, to serve as office manager for the Wartime Bureau of Technical Personnel at Ottawa, I endeavoured to administer the affairs of the General Alumni Association and the Employment Service during the year, in addition to carrying on my regular duties as director of endowment for the University and secretary of the University Council.

On account of the difficulty of obtaining adequate office assistance, it was impossible for me to take care of ’these several activities as efficiently as was desirable. Some of them undoubtedly suffered. An additional problem was the great increase in the work of the alumni office, owing to the large number of Queen’s men in the armed forces, the con¬ sequent many changes of address, and the necessity of keep¬ ing proper records in this connection. No better administra¬ tive arrangement, however, seems feasible at present.

General Activities

Throughout the year the association continued its cus¬ tomary activities — maintaining contact between the Univer¬ sity and the alumni, facilitating meetings of the branches, publishing the Queen's Revieiv, keeping the graduate records and files up to date, and in other ways trying to sustain and stimulate the interest of the alumni in their Alma Mater.

Alumni Statistics

On March 31, Queen’s living graduates in the respective categories numbered: Arts, 5843; Commerce, 496; Medicine, 1803; Science, 2246; Theology, 104; Honorary, 193. Of these, 657 held degrees in more than one faculty. The net total was 10,028. The number of deceased graduates was 2404.

81—

In view of the large number who are on active service in various countries, accurate figures of the present distribu¬ tion of the graduates cannot be given. Under normal condi¬ tions the distribution is approximately as follows: Canada, 81%; United States, 10%; other countries, 3%; addresses lacking, 6%. The normal distribution of the Canadian total by provinces is: Ontario, 77%; Quebec, 9%; Saskatchewan, 4% ; Alberta, 3% ; British Columbia, 3% ; Manitoba, 2% ; other provinces, 2%.

Alumni on Active Service

The records of the alumni office show that at the end of March, 1943, 1514 graduates and former students of Queen’s were serving in the armed forces of the United Nations. This total was undoubtedly incomplete.

Thirty-one alumni had given their lives at that date. Association Membership

The membership of the association at the end of the 1941-42 year (September 30, 1942) was 1696 — an increase of ten over that of the previous period. The membership on March 31, 1943, was three per cent smaller than at the cor¬ responding date in 1942.

Officers and Board of Directors

The officers of the association for the current year are: president, D. A. Gillies, Arts"’05, Arnprior, Ont. ; first vice- president, A. C. Hanley, Sc. ’18, Kingston, Ont.; second vice- president, Dr. J. H. Orr, Med. ’23, Kingston, Ont. These offi¬ cers, together with the three past presidents, eighteen other elected or appointed members, and the presidents of the branches, compose the board of directors.

Branches

The association has at present thirty-three branches — twenty-nine in Canada, three in the United States, and one in Africa. Twenty-nine branch meetings were held during the year.

«

—82—

Annual and Directors’ Meetings

The annual meeting of the association took place on October 17. The special speaker on this occasion was Mr. L. Austin Wright, executive assistant to the director of National Selective Service. The subject of Mr. Wright’s address was The University Student and National Selective Service. Spring and fall meetings of the board of directors were also held.

The ''Queen’s Revieiv”

Published monthly throughout the year with the excep¬ tion of June, July and September, the Review carried numer¬ ous articles of alumni interest, summaries of university and student news, reports of meetings of the branches, personal notes about many hundreds of alumni, and various other material. The regular listings of alumni on active service and notes about them were of particular interest.

The net cost of the Revieiv for the twelve months ending on March 31, was $798.25. The circulation was maintained at 5000.

Assistance to University

The sum of $1450 was turned over to the University during the year. Of this amount, $1000 was a refund from the annual grant made by the University to help carry on the work of the association. The sources of the remaining $450 — which was used by the University for the extension ofUhe public-address system in Grant Hall — were: Grant Hall fund balance, $33.22; surplus account, $416.78.

Gifts

The association gratefully acknowledges a generous gift of $100 from Mr. E. A. Collins, Sc. ’05, Copper Cliff, Ont., for general purposes.

The Employment Service

The activities of the Employment Service were consider¬ ably curtailed during the year through the assumption of

—83

control of employment matters in Canada by National Select¬ ive Service and the Wartime Bureau of Technical Personnel. Almost all graduate and student employment, both permanent and vacational, is now within the jurisdiction of these two organizations, whose aim is to direct technical and other skilled labour into the industries most essential to the war effort.

The Employment Service has worked in close cooperation with the Wartime Bureau, at the latter’s expressed desire. Its main service during recent months has been advising the students in connection with the 5000 or more jobs in essential industry listed by the Government as available for the vaca¬ tion period, helping them to obtain the necessary govern¬ mental employment permits, and furnishing information about applicants to prospective employers.

Practically every student in Science, Arts, Commerce and first-year Medicine, desirous of securing summer work, or released by the Government for permanent employment in essential industry, will have been satisfactorily placed by the close of the current session.

The Employment Service can continue to render valuable assistance to the students and graduates, although for the period of the war its activities will probably be circumscribed considerably by governmental regulations.

The service is greatly indebted to the Kingston Works of the Aluminum Company of Canada, Limited, for its gener¬ ous cooperation in lending Mr. E. N. Christison, of its per¬ sonnel department, to the University for some two months during the spring. If Mr. Christison’s help had not been made available by the Aluminum Company, it is doubtful whether the service could have carried on.

Gordon J. Smith, Acting Secretary-Treasurer.

REPORT OF THE QUEEN’S UNIVERSITY ALUMNAE

ASSOCIATION

I have the honour to present the report of the Queen’s University Alumnae Association for the year 1942-43.

This year has been a busy one particularly in the field of war work. The nine branches of the association have been rendering a valuable contribution in this respect according to their various sizes and facilities. Toronto alumnae, who compose the most numerous group, have produced this year about 800 knitted and other garments for the Red Cross, handing $475 to the Toronto branch of that organization in return for materials with which to carry on the work. Most of the branches have contributed generously to the Queen’s War Guest fund. The Kingston branch of the Queen’s Alum¬ nae has been cooperating with the British Federation of University Women in providing clothing for a Belgian stu¬ dent in England. The association has also been continuing the financial assistance which it extended last year to Miss Sheila Noakes, of Edinburgh, a British war guest in attend¬ ance at Queen’s.

Mrs. James Richardson, of Winnipeg, has been elected to honorary membership in the association.

The Marty memorial scholarship fund is very close to the $30,000 mark. It is gratifying to learn that Miss Joyce Hemlow, who holds the scholarship this year at Radcliffe College, has been awarded the senior scholarship of the Can¬ adian Federation of University Women for the coming year, enabling her to continue her work in English literature there. In the last four years the Canadian Federation’s senior- schol¬ arship has been won three times by a Queen’s graduate and a holder of the Marty scholarship. The Marty memorial scholarship has been awarded to Miss Kathleen Butcher of Paris, Ontario, for the year 1943-44. Miss Butcher received the degree of Bachelor of Arts with first-class honours in

—85—

mathematics from Queen’s in May, 1942, and has spent the winter of 1942-43 in working for a master’s degree at Smith College.

The Queen’s University Alumnae Association was rep¬ resented at the executive meetings of the National Council of Women, and the Canadian Federation of University Women, and at the conference of the Canadian Women’s Committee on International Relations.

Betty Smith,

Secretary.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF ENDOWMENT

I have pleasure in submitting the following report for the year ending on March 31, 1943.

Alumni Help

Although the response of the alumni to the University’s hundredth-anniversary financial appeal continued fairly satis¬ factorily through the past year, there was a considerable de¬ crease in the number of contributions and of promises of annual help from that of the previous period. Most of the alumni who had volunteered to make yearly donations did so upon the receipt of “reminders” from the endowment office, and many of those who had helped in the preceding year repeated their contributions; but the number of new contributors and new “pledgers” was relatively small. The waning of the centenary stimulus, the large number of alum¬ ni now serving in the armed forces, the many calls on behalf of specific war projects and the present high rate of taxation, all probably played a part in the falling-off.

This would seem to indicate that a general canvass of the entire alumni body at frequent intervals, in addition to regular follow-ups in the case of those who are already lending their help — with emphasis laid in both cases on the fact that donations for educational purposes are still exempt from income tax — is essential to the continuance and ex¬ pansion of alumni support.

Other Assistance

Against the decrease in alumni help during the past year, there was an appreciable increase in the assistance given by other benefactors and by governmental departments for special purposes, such as the work in industrial relations and in important research.

Benefactions during Year

The grants, gifts and bequests received by the Univer¬ sity for endowment or maintenance accounts from April, 1942,

—97—

zo March 31, 1943, are recorded in summary and in detail .below. They totalled $434,564.77, as against $449,980.65, $383,523.68 and $321,999.47 in the three preceding years. Unfortunately space precludes the individual listing of the many contributors who gave amounts under $25; their help, however, has been no less sincerely appreciated. For their support, as well as for that of other private benefactors and of the Dominion and Ontario governments. Queen’s is deeply grateful. This assistance has been invaluable to both the normal work and the special war work that the University is doing.
