Excellent Music Series The Loyola Wednesday Night

1966-67 series begins November 2, 1966, with additional dates December 7 and January 18 and March 15, 1967.

When the series was inaugu­rated last season the president, Very Reverend Patrick G. Ma­lone, S.J., said his only stipula­tion was that "the Wednesday Nights must provide a high standard of excellence and they must be well attended".

An excellent program has been arranged. Attendance will depend upon the Alumni and friends of Loyola as well as the general public.

All four Wednesday Nights this season will be held in Loy­ola Auditorium at 8:30 p.m.

The Princeton Chamber Or­chestra, an aggregation of 24

musicians, under the direction of Nicholas Harsanyi, will make its Canadian debut on November 2. Eugene Ormandy has called it "one of the finest orchestras of its kind anywhere". In the spring of this year the President's Cabi­net, under the chairmanship of Mrs. Lyndon B. Johnson, spon­sored its Washington debut with a recital in the State Department auditorium.

On December 7 Richard Gres­ko, a highly rated young Cana­dian pianist, will be heard in recital. He has appeared fre­quently as guest soloist with Canada's major symphony or­chestras as well as in recitals throughout North America and Europe.

Charles Reiner, pianist, and Arthur Garami, hailed as Can-

Princeton Chamber orchestra to perform.

-3-

ada's finest violinist and piano duo, will perform an all-Beetho­ven concert on January 18, 1967.

St. Patrick's Day will be cele­brated with the appearance on March 15 of Grainne Yeats, dis­tinguished Irish harpist and folk singer, and her husband, Sena­tor Michael Yeats, son of Wil­liam Butler Yeats, who will de­liver a brief lecture. The Yeats will appear at Loyola following their debut on the March 12 nationally-televised Ed Sullivan TV show.

Cost for the series of four con­certs is $8 per person. Individual seats are $2 .50 to $3 at each per­formance.

YEAR OF FUND APPEAL

Fund Has Best Year August saw the close of the

most successful fund appeal in the history of the Alumni Asso­ciation. This year's appeal, which surpassed all previous in both amount donated and in overall percentage participation, was di­rected by Fund Chairman John Pepper, class of 1949.

The amount of $16,416.00 con­tributed by 732 alumni members, was particularly significant when contrasted with donations of previous years. This figure rep­resents an increase of approxi­mately 500/o over the last fund drive, and an increase of over 2000/o on that of earlier years.

One of the most important as­pects of an appeal such as this , is the percentage participation of the alumni body as a whole.

Admittedly, Loyola has a long way to go when contrasted with

many other Canadian and Amer­ican universities, but the 25.60/o participation attained this year is an increase of 7.4°/o over that of the previous drive. This is large when one realizes that it repre­sents 250 additional contributors.

It is hoped that this figure can be raised to the 50 per cent level in several years, for Loyola needs the backing of her alumni. As the percentage participation in­creases, it will follow that there will be a corresponding increase in the total amount donated.

While large donations are greatly needed and are very ben­eficial to the fund drive, it is the numerous smaller donations from the more recent graduates, which will enable the association to achieve this goal in the years ahead.

This year, to show the alumni

- 4-

of Loyola the progress which is being made in this area, statis­tics have been prepared which graphically compare the results of the last seven fund appeals by the association.

There has been a certain amount of overlap between drives in the past, as indicated by the fact that there was no specific appeal in 1965, since the one started in 1964 extended into 1965. The one just completed, started late in 1965.

This situation will not exist in the future, for a completely new program is being developed and will be closely associated with the organization presently being set up by Gene Lewis, Class of '59.

In addition, a reorganization of the alumni membership rec­ords is underway and, following

Maurice Conway

this, the class lists will, in most cases , indicate a number in the class which is different from that which appears in the fo llow­ing breakdown.

The top class in the college with respect to amount contribu­ted, is the class of 1938, which donated $1,345 , and was man­aged by Maurice Conway.

The leader in terms of percent-

Ron Hebert Tony Haberl

age participation, is the class of 1960, which attained 580/o and was also the highest in the pre­vious fund appeal with 490/o. The class of 1960 is jointly managed by Julio Cassiani - arts, Ton y Haber! - commerce, and Ron Hebert - science.

Many classes showed large in­creases in participation and in contributions and it can be seen

that, in general, a participation increase generates a greater total contribution.

Of the 44 classes indicated on the breakdown, only five failed to equal their previous number of donors. It is interesting to note that all of these same classes failed to equal their previous do­nations .

Organizational Committee

Class Agent System Set Up

A new organizational commit­tee, conceived to bring renewed life and purpose to the Loyola Alumni Association, was unani­mously adopted by the Board of Directors meeting of September 19.

It was also unanimously agreed that Gene Lewis '59, be appoint­ed to head the committee as chairman.

The Committee of Class Agents will be comprised of appointed representatives of graduating years and faculties . Mr. Lewis in­tends to conduct an extensive campaign to select individuals with the qualifications to fill the position.

"Emphasis", he explains , "will be placed on the appointed na­ture of the post to avoid tthe selection of a former popular figure whose effectiveness has been greatly reduced by the change of environment following gradu!iHQI_l. A thorc;mgh evalua­tion will" be made before anyone is chosen to serve on the com­mittee."

For the selection of agents to represent future graduating clas­ses, Lewis will commence his evaluation process while pros­pects are attending college. By graduation year, he will make his selection· based on the leadership and commu'iiic·aticin:f ·qualities played by the students. -

According to Lewis ' system, one agent will be appointed for every class year up to and in­cluding 1958. From 1959 onward , classes will be represented by year and faculty.

In addition to "Year" chairmen, "Decade" chairmen will cover every ten-year period in Loyola's history up to and including 1949

GENE LEWIS

and from 1950 onward every five year period . Decade chairman will report directly to Lewis and will co-ordinate the efforts of the respective class agents.

Every man will be appointed for a three-year renewable term.

The class agent's basic duties will - _include establishing ·_ and inairttairtirrg contact with former classmates -and college associates

-7-

and keeping them informed on alumni activities. As chairman, Gene Lewis will also set up a series of programs to attract the interest of college students -from freshman through to senior years.

The man selected by the Asso­ciation to organize class agents has achieved a reputation for "getting the job done" .

Gene Lewis graduated from Loyola College in 1959 with a B.Sc. and continued studies at the University of Western On­tario , where he attained a mas­ters degree in business adminis­tration.

Currently with Canadian In­ternational Paper as lead sys­tems analyst, Gene has worked with computers in the fields of insurance, research, inventory management and scheduling. He intends to utilize computers ex­tensively in his new position.

During_ his_ stu4ies at ~.9yola, he served as secretary to the Council of Student Representa­tives and _was rewarded for his extensive extracurricular activi­ties with an activity letter.

Today, Gene's sidelines include organizing the Montreal end of the Russian-Olympic Volleyball Tour ) md serving as a~sistant

CHAIRMAN

Lost Medal Comes Home Gerald M. Johnson, an old Loyola man, has a unique story

to tell these days and a letter to prove it.

"Dear Mr. Johnson," the letter reads, "Recently we had a new forced air system installed in our home at 35 Glenborough Park Cresc., which necessitated the removal of the old hot air gravity piping. In one of these pipes your fourth year silver medal was found.

"Assuming that it is of sentimental value to you, we are pleased to enclose it herewith."

The letter came to Gerry at Alcan here Sept. 28 from Toronto and the medal was the one he won for standing highest in his class in fourth year high at Loyola in 1934. He discovered he had lost it when he left his Toronto home in January, 1954, to go to Brazil.

That medal certainly does have a sentimental value!

Incidentally, Gerry maintained his high standing all through college and was one of the top men when he received his BA at Loyola, graduating sum cum laude.

Fund Aids Communications Recognizing that mass media have come to play

an increasingly important role in modern society, Loyola established a Department of Communica­tion Arts in March, 1965. Loyola was the first Cana­dian university or college to do so , although more than 105 American universities have been offering undergraduate programs in various areas of mass communications for some years.

The department offers a "major" within the B.A. program, i.e ., seven courses of the 22 required for a Bachelor's degree will be taken within the De­partment.

The curriculum is intend ed to develop in stu­dents a scholarly and creative approach to mass media. It is designed -

a. for students who in tend to continue graduate studies in communication ;

b. for students who intend to make a career in the public arts as writers , critics, directors, and performers ;

c. for students who wish to enter the teaching profession as specialists in television and film education ;

d. for students who in tend to enter the media industries, the media professions, and the public arts in the areas of publicity, promo­tion, advertising, and public relations.

Throughout, the stress is on creativity. It is Loy­ola 's belief that our expanding film industry, our broadcast services, our new centennial theatres and our educational institutions will be in ever greater need of talented graduates who have studied the popular arts in depth. This year eight courses are being offered and this number will be doubled in September of 1967.

WHERE YOUR MONEYGOES­part of the Alum­ni Annual Fund contribution has made possible fur­ther equipment development in Loyola's new Communication Arts department. Testing in the recording studio are faculty mem­bers Father Daniel Fogarty and John Buell with Donald Clark in the control room.

In the second year of a three-year development program, the department has ninety-five students majoring in communication arts . Library holdings have been increased considerably and will be ex­panded as money becomes available. A new sound broadcasting studio is in operation and it will be followed in time by film and television studios. A film lending library has been established which will service campus and community groups.

In addition to the academic program, the depart­ment will sponsor during the coming year the Third Annual Best of the N.F.B. and a seminar on the Social Languages of the Screen. Plans are also underway for a weekly FM radio program in the second semester. These programs and others which the newly-established Communication Arts Society plans, will develop a creative climate on campus in the years ahead.

Civilization on the March

Change Needs Leadership

The process of change in the modern world has become so fast that it is obvious that dyna­mic change, and not stability, is mankind's lot in the future, George V. Ferguson, editor in chief of The Montreal Star, de­clared in his convocation address to Loyola College.

Today's technological revolu­tion is changing the lives of young and old at break-neck speed, he said.

"It has, in the last 20 years, gathered force and momentum so that the world in which I grew up 60 years ago is nvw utterly gone: The world, indeed, which 20 years ago gasped at the devel­opment of atomic power, is now as old hat as the horse and buggy of my youth," Mr. Ferguson said.

"The revolution, which began its invasion of the home two cen­turies ago, has now, to all intents and purposes, destroyed it. The ethics and morals of the day be­fore yesterday are now all under critical review. The foundations upon which society rested since the Golden Age of Greece have been shaken and in part destroy­ed.

"Man, with his ancient, lei­surely peasant heritage, is now drenched day by day, hour by hour, even minute by minute with immediate and disturbing facts which somehow or other he must assimilate and sensibly re­act to.

"Compare, for instance, the time it took to acquaint the peo­ple of France and the rest of the civilized world with the execu­tion of Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette in 1793 with our own instantaneous knowl­edge of the murder of President

Kennedy in 1963. Is it any won­der that we, the descendants of hundreds of generations of peas­ants, become a little neurotic?"

"New facts pile in upon us much faster than we adjust our­selves to them. We become un­stable, not perhaps stupider, but numbed," Mr. Ferguson said.

"I am, to be frank about it, no great believer in the therapeutic qualities of technology. It is rev­olutionary, fissiparous and anar­chic in the short run, and I be­lieve that there is now no longer any foreseeable long run in which stable qualities will assert them­selves.

"We are, as it were, on the run, on the short run, and each short run will be succeeded by another short run, each one dif­ferent and more revolutionary than the last.

"How do we stop to catch our breath? How do we pause to assess values, to cast off what is unworthy and to seize and to strengthen that which is good and has lasting quality?

"To these questions I find no satisfying answer," he stated.

"The strains of modern living reveal themselves in a hundred different ways, in the increase of alcoholism and of crime, in the collapse of marriage and the home, in the general restless in­stability of urban life.

"Our town planners remark, with both pride and-I hope­foreboding that the metropolitan area on the Canadian side of the St. Lawrence Valley will stretch unbroken from Quebec City to Sarnia in Ontario.

"I look forward to these devel­opments with almost unadulter­ated horror. If we cannot manage Megalopolis today, how will we

-12-

manage her tomorrow?" Mr. Fer­guson asked.

"We live far too much in the past. As the years go on we be­come far less capable of appre­ciating the new perspectives and the new values of the generation now coming up.

"I have come to believe that history, fascinating and indeed important as it is, is less impor­tant today than it has ever been as a guide to the future," he said. "Years ago it was reasonably im­portant to know history in order to interpret the current scene.

"History still has its values. Some guidelines are still there. But the tempo of change, the revolutionary techniques of the modern day now demand modifi­cations.

"The age is new. Problems re­quire new approaches, shorn as far as possible of the shackles of the past. All that old men like myself can do is to organize some framework of change within which you and your successors can more successfully shake off the past.

"Some of you may have noticed that my newspaper has asked, not once but often, that our major political parties replace their leadership with younger men," said Mr. Ferguson. "We may well get leadership worse immediately than what we now have. I doubt if that matters much.

"What we do know is that my generation has run itself out, and that the next generation must have its run at things, - and as quickly as possible, before the next political generation has be­come so stratified and rigid that it will be no better than what went before.

"If age has been overtaken by progress and events in politics, it has also been overtaken else­where, in science, in teaching, in business management, indeed, in everything.

"In religion, too. I have from the beginning found it significant that the Quiet Revolution in Que­bec, for instance, coincided in time so closely with the brief but revolutionary papacy of John XXIII. That great and wise old man, for all his years, under­stood the temper of his age and set about the adjustment of the Church to meet its needs.

"In this profoundly Catholic province the secular and clerical leadership joined hands as it were, to bring Quebec swiftly into the torments and the infinite beauties of the mid-20th centu­ry," Mr. Ferguson said.

" If we have found some of the manifestations of this pace of change just a bit too much for us , that is only because we have not yet adjusted ourselves to it. Of one thing, let us rest assured: The pace of change will not slacken in foreseeable time.

" Civilization, in General Smuts's memorable phrase, has struck its tents and is once again on the march."
