t may sel:m unusual to find asparagus min颅 gling with lilies of the valley in a dining room tloral arrangl:ment, but at Kerr Farms Ltd. ,just outside Chatham, Ontario, it's a sure sign that spring has sprung and the great asparagus harvest is on. K~rr Farms' asparagus grows on Kent County land that has been cultivated by Lawrence Kerr. OAC '29, for more than 40 years. Today, Lawrence's son Bob, OAC '68, manages the mixed farming operation that stretc hes along the edge of t he city. Both father and son are innovative and hard-working . They raise cucumbers for the pickle packers , tomatoe s for the ketchup and canned tomato processors, and corn and alfalfa field crops for feed and seed. They also run several large feedlots, where canle can fea st on the culls, sceds and skins not used by the packing houses. Bob proudly points to the countless rows of asparagus. "We planted the first roots in 1969. Then we waited two years for the plants to grow and develop underground storage roots, so we weren't able to pick any shoots until 1971 - - and then only for three week s " As the soil warms ,in spring, the buds in the centre of the asparagus root , or crown, send out shoots, one from each bud. When these shoots reach a height of seven or eight inches, they're cut. The stubs then cease growing, but other buds stan to send out shoots. In Kent County, the harve st usually begins during the first week in May. "But we finish around June 21 , " says Bob. "If we continued beyond that date. the plants would run out of stored energy and die. So, after seven weeks. we stop harvesting and allow the shOalS to grow to maturity." You might expect an asparagus field to look lush with thick rows of bright green spears pointing skyward . But il doesn't. The individual shoots are straight, lhick and green , but they don ' t all grow at the same time. During each day's harvest , only the longes t stalk s are picked. Looking out over the fields, you can

actually see more soil than asparagus, so the fields look sandy grey. In warm weather, the shoots grow as much as four inches in a single day, and each field must be completely harvested each day. Considering that Kerr Farms ha s 180 acres of asparagus , it takes more than a few pickers to clear the field s. lnfact, there are nine teams with five pickers each. During the harvest, there are usually seven oreight teams picking at one time. The pic kers sit in strange-looking vehicles that resemble tlying machines with canopies on top . These pick iog aids are des igned to prevent

any trampling of the plants by providing footholds for each picker. The vehicle comfortably seats five pickers, so five rows can be harve sted at one time. As the vehicle moves along, they cut only those spears that have reached the right height. Because the pickers are so well trained, they ' re able to cut to s ize for canners who have ordered spears of a specific length and thickness. The pickers also grade as they cut, placing the choi ce grade A I in neat row s in a designated box, and first and second grade spears in their designated boxes. This on-th e ~s pot grading is important to the whole operation because it con!. over

Like all fres h produce , aspara gu s bruises eas il y if it's handled too mu c h. n ivcrs ity 路tude nt s are h ired fo r th e peak s aso n to help co-o rdi nate the pi ck ing .

A t the stand , Boh' s w ife , Moira , supervises th e sal es of ton s of the eleg ant green vege tahl es. C usto mers come fro m ncar and far, so me come e very day , so me once a week. "Pe ople' s aware ness o f asparagu s as a spring vege table is constantly gro w ing ," says Bo b. Fres h from the farm, asp aragus is at its bes t. Stalks coming in from Ca liforn ia and Washington in the ofT- season are more fibrou s and ofte n have a lon ger coarse butt end . Asparagus ages durin g ha rves ting, assemb li ng , packing and Shippin g. " Thi s fre sh-pick ed asparagus o nly need s to be washed and cooked," says Bob, "or hlanched and fnJ ze n. Our c ustomers have very littIe waste , and if they can cook it the sa me d ay they buy it , no flav o ur is lost." In Ontario, thc sa le of asparagus to processors is handled by the O ntari o Aspa ragus G rowcrs ' Marketin g Boa rd , the oldest marketing board in the provin ce. It was formed to assist small-acreage growers in the promotion and marke ting of their crop. Tod ay there are 216 members and they produce two-thirds o f the asparagus harvested in Canada. Business is not without problems. Although acrea ge hasn' t cha nged, the yield in Ontario has gone dow n from more than four million pounds in 1979 to a little more than three and a half million in 1982 . Bob says his yield is not as h igh as he had hoped. "The crop is vulnerable . Asparagus pl ants are sens itive to stress factors, including age , weather , di sease, handling and the pressures of harvesting may weaken the plants and actually ca use so me to die." Plants usually produce for ten to 20 years. Eventually , if die-out exce eds new growth, yields decline. The Kerrs, along with other growers, are awaiting the development of a new asparagus hybrid . Performance dem ons trations have already been given in New Jersey . Parent material s have been se lected and these are being reproduced b y tissue culture , known a lso as cloning, so buds can be developed into many plants, all identical to the parents. Ultimatel y, there will be a hybrid line spe c ifically geared to growing conditions in Ontario. Then it's hoped the yield will satisfy the appetites of asparagus lovers .

How To Cook Asparagus Little prep ara ti o n is necessary when asparagu s spears are fa rm- fresh and pick ed the sa me day. Th at' s when texture, flavour a nd colour are at their peak. 2 Ib!1 kg fresh asparagus Salt Boiling water Wash sta lk s in co ld water. If necessa ry, rinse under the bracts, or scales, but don ' t peel them away unless they seem very tou gh at the lower end. Snap the stalks at the point where the y break easily; no c utting is necessary. Save the butt ends for soup . In a large skillet , put s pears in salted boiling water just to co ver. Bring water back to boil and boil gently, uncovered , for five minute s o r until tender-crisp. Overcooking makes asparagus mushy and dull. With tongs, lift asparagus out onto warm serving platter.

But, by the middle o f the decade, many farmers were having serious prohlems dealing with di sease and maintaining proper water supplies and , ev en at government leve ls. helpful knowledge and resources were minimal. Rich firs t came into contact with th e industry in his pos ition at the OvC lab.

"After years of studyi ng, I really enjoyed being inv o lved in re scarch and extension education with memhers of the aquaculture industry." But while the lab was a huild ing bl ock in his career, it was also a stumbling hlock. Rich found himse lf constantly scrambling for m o ney and survival since the lab operated on a cost-recovery basis. and he had only annual sa lary contrac ts. Over coffee, he and Wayne, whom Rich met through extension work with the fish industry. dreamed about way s of s ucceed ing rather thanjust s urviving "Then one day, Wayne called to tell me about federal government money available for Canadian owned bus inesses to improvc technology ," says Rich . "We bashed it about. came up with ideas, then su bmitted a proposal. Lo and behold-we got the grant," hI? recalls ""ith a lingering sense of amazement. Then he adds, considerably more soherly, "so now we're committed." Tweedle-dum and Tweedle-dee, the partners are not. Both are very aware of havin g different perso nalitie s and backgrounds which complement each other. "Wayne is a self-made businessman, very practica l and pro gress ive; he knew he didn ' t want to be a trout farm er all hi s life, Idon ' tknow much about business , but I do have a so lid sc ientific background :' explains Rich. Wa yne 's farm , Shamrock prings. as he explain s it, has hcen closely allied with University of G uelph scienti sts from it s inccption . " T he farm wa s estahlished by six facult y members from the University , Professors Robbie Robinson. OA '50; Mack Mc Dermott, OAC '39 , Professor E meritus ; George Ande rs on . O AC ' 42 : Marg Hau ser, OAC '46; John Carpent r. OAC '43 , and Bob John sto n. OAC ' 42:' Way ne says, "A ll have hiology or aquaculture expertise. In 1970 , th ey hired me as hatche ry mana ger and then , in 1978. ga ve me the chance to purchase the e ntirc

o peratio n , which I did, " Be tween 1977 and 19l\O, the farm quadrupled it s gross re ve nue . Uvcr the years, Way ne had developed new tcc hniyu cs in egg handling , sw im-up and fry feeding . and move ment and grad ing of stock, But he needed morc mo ney and help for more major undertakin gs. Now, with only a year under the ir belts, the Shamrock Sp rings gro up has carried out a th o ro ugh literature review, co nstructed a laboratory, des igned equipment and carried out nume rous experiments and s tudies. Hormone injections, en vironmental alterations , a nd sperm studies are some of the rese arch projects directed towards manipulating reproducti on which are now being carried out at the farm and at the University of Guelph. On campus, Professor Leatherland is collaborating with the group to mea sure hormone levels in fi s h. Dr. Craig and Professo r Hallett have adapted Quas i- Elastic Light Scattering (QELS) techniques to fish sperm examination. Thi s joint re search program focu ses on correlating QELS mea surements of sperm activity with fertilization efficiency. " Since it is more efficient to co ntrol reproduction in the female only, and to use preserved semen for fertilization, we are studying various as pects of fish sperm." explains Rich. " In the work with C ra ig and Hall ett. for example , if we can elucidate the rel ationship between QELS sperm activity and t'e rtility, then we intend to use the technique to assess the adequac y of storage conditions." Altering the environment is another way of controlling fertility, so a t the farm the group ha s designed , and is building, eight ho lding chambers which allow accurate and flexible co ntrol of da y length. In conjunctio n with thi s environmental control, the experimental fish will be given exoge nous horm o nes, pituitary extracts containing hormone s , or synthetic chemical analogues. to indu ce reprodu c tive maturation, Transferring medi ca l technology to hi s projec ts , Ric h has recently deve loped a method to observe and photograph fi sh go nads, within the living fish. b y using a fine needle-like de vice, tipped with a lens called an end osco pe.

We shall do thi s, but first, it might be instructive to take a look at not where the money, all $375,096 of il c ame fro m , but the where, why and how of whal is done wilh it.

The

Fund

Thanks for Sustaining its Roots

The pruccss starls , and ends, wilh th e Alma Maler Fund Advisory Council, whose jub it is to se le ct the projects to be suppurled and to allocate the funds co llect ed. Th e Council was org ani zed in 1':!69, the initial ye ar of the Fund . Its me mbers hip is co mposed of two re pre se ntatives from eac h uf the seven co llege alumni associations and e x-offici o memhers, incumbe nts of the following o ffices: ho norary pres id e nt, pres ident , and se nior vice-pre s id e nt uf Ihe University of G uelph Alumni Associalion; campaign cha irman a nd deputy chairman Of lhc AI ma M ale r Fund Campai g n Manage mcn l Co mmittee ; chairman of the OAC Alumni Foundation: director o f Alumni Affa irs and Deve lopment , and assistant directo r fo r Develop ment . The Advi so ry Council aC lS as the custodian of a phil oso ph y which has prevailed s ince the inception of the rund, one whi ch sees Ihe Fund as a " living en dowmc nl" ,in which proceeds wllecled o ne year are spcrll in the ensuing yea r. These funds are used " to SUppOrl programs and projecls Ihal enhance Ih e image and SlalllS of the Universily a nd whi c h are no rmall y o ut side the scope of Universily opera ling funds ." The amounl of money co llecled is more Iha n matched by th e numbe r and s ize of Ihe clearly worthwhile proj ec ts 10 which these funds mighl be allocaled, and Ihe Advi sory Council has now approved a new se l of g uidelines which will make il poss ible for proJecl proposals to bt:: eva lualcd without requiring a personal a ppearance by applicants. Slanda rd form s ha ve been developed on which previous recipients are asked 10 submil progress repon s , and ne w projec l appli canls arc asked 10 oUlline the ir requ es ls and allach supporting documents. No rma lly, one major new projecl of Universily-wide s ignific ance will be accep led each year and projec ts will usua lly be restri c ted to sch olarsh ip s, capilall projects limiled to Ihree-year le rms , academi c enri chment , and coll ege ad va ncem en l fund s . The new poli cy guidelines, app roved in Se ptember 19 82, a lread y mak e it poss ible 10 gai n a co mpac t ove rvie w of Iht:: way in which Alma Male r fund s have and will be spen!. As in previo us years, Ihe sc holarship and bursary pro gram is Ihe major benefi cia ry of Ihe annual Fund , wilh 25 per ce nt oflhe proceed s

being allocated towards this program. A lma Mater awards have bee n granted increases of up to 35 per cent to help offset the cos t of intlation . The th ree-year $60,000 program to assist in the capital cost of the sma ll animal clinic extension. and purchase ofelinic equipment, will be completed this year. Funding also is to be made available over a two-year period to assist in the purchase of an endoscope and an arthroscope, items badly needed in the large animal clinic. Initi al funding on behalf of the Carriage House (old sheep barn) re storation project has been approved . with another major grant projected from the 1983 Fund. The Alumni Weekend '8 2 auction held in the Carriage Ho use netted c lose to 56.000 towards the projec t . The OVC and OAC Alumni Associations are participating in the latt er two projects by providing additional funding. Most of the niversity departments ren:iving funds from the $25,000 In structional Development allocation are providing matching grants. thereby doubling the volume of the Fund contribution. OAC's Dean Clay S witzer. OAC . 5 1. re ports that college advancement funds were uscd to finance studies which led to the establishment of a co-op (work-stud y) program within the B.Sc. (Agr.) Program . Further studies are also planned regarding the possibility of combining introductory agricultural courses into one integrated course. OVC's Dean Douglas Maplesden. OVC ' 50 . says thc OVC advancement funds were reserved for travel requirements bey o nd the capacity of departmental budgets. and enabled faculty to participate in symposia in various parts of the world . FACS Dean Janct Wardlaw report s the creation of a publicity campaig n for the Bac helor of Applied Science program to be used in the province's secondary schools. The thrust of the campaign will draw attention to the program and describe the four majors available to students . Other al locations under the Fund supported the further development of a computerized nutrient ana lysis program . The College of Social Science . according to Dean John Vandcrkamp , set up a number of scholarships. financed a snow survey. and commissioned Erich Barth. art director. Department of Information, to design the Skinner Medal. of which ten copies have been struck. Dean David Murray. College of Art s . reports the allocation of advancement funds ovcr a wide range of projects . prominent among. which was the lecture and workshop series given by the distinguished playwright. Edward Albee. Dean Keith Ronald says that the College of Biological Science will purchase the film seri.:s "Life on Earth" to be Llsed by various departments in the Co ll ege. Archives of the

W ith th e exce ption of two alumni 足 e ndowed trust funds which yield int~ re st, alumni donation s are the only source of annual purChas e fund s fo r th e University of Gu e lph art coll ec tion. The Macdona ld S te wart Art Centre , custodian of th e col lection, continues to g row as a major institution for the curato rsh ip and exhibi tion of works of art. U niversity art c urator Judith asby, and collections librarian John Moldenhauer, who re ports a number of important acquisitions for the University Library , both emphasi ze the de sira b ility of havin g funds available in order to be able to take ad vantage of important offerings of art works and rare books as and when they appear on the market.

This, inevitably, is a rather sketc hy acc o unt of what happe ns to the mo ne y raised through the A lma M a te r F und. It is not pos s ible to list all the sch ( la rships, all the books and painti ngs purchased, all the visitin g profes sors ho s ted, all the commemorative gifts and sponsored proj e cts. It is, however, enou g h to show what an e nriching force th e A Ima M ater Fund is to the University and, by the same token , how poor we would al l be without it. It shows something else, too, namely that the F und - by no means a large sum when compared with the to tal University budget 足 wh e n thoughtfully placed in areas where it can do the most good, can be responsible for some quite remarkable achievements, and we are left pondering the potential implicit in modestly larger amoun ts,

AMF Funds Return Rare 17th Century Canadian Art

n 1982, th e Macdonald Stewart Art Centre had an opportunity to purchase a rare 17th

ce ntury engraving of great significance to Canadian history and art history. The pie ce is described by W ~vlcAllister Johnson, O. c. , an authority on European and early C anadian prints, as fo llows: "Gregoire Huret was res ponsible for the single most significant, most remembered im a ge of early Canada- the ma rtyrdom of the Jesuit Fathers in 1649. T he Huret print, dated 1656, is based on eye-witness accounts of the martyrdom of Jes uit mi ssi o nari es in Huronia, 1630-1 64 9. By makin g a substantial partial payment to the own e r of the print, a dealer in England, the Art Ce ntre was able to obtain it, against strong co mpetition, l o r the University co ll ec tion. Impre ssions of the eng raving are unavailable in Canada; the Nati o nal Archi ves own s an incomplete impress io n insured at twice the purchase pri ce of the e xcell ent impre ss io n now in th e University coll ec tion. Becau se an Alma Ma te r Fund all oc ation was readil y a vail a ble, the curator w as able to ma ke an immed iate partial payme nt, thu s sec uring a 10 pe r ce nt di sco unt from the

vendor. The Canadian government felt this acquisition was s uffi ciently important, in terms of repatriating Ca nadian cultural property, that it alJocated a cultural prope rt y grant to cover80

per cent of the purchase price. Thanks to alumni and the Alma Ma te r Fund, we WLrC indeed fortunate in being ab le to acquire this engraving for the University. 0

nly during the la st ten years or so have women athletes been enc o uraged to take them se lve s seriously. Before then , some women's inter-collegIate events were simply labelled "playdays. " Girl s in Ontario who wanted to play hockey made headline s by tryin g 10 crash bo ys' team s; they use d their brothers' skate s, or kept their own through three s ize s. Women have come a long way s ince then, e specially at the Univers it y of Guelph where much of the credit mu st go to Shirley Peterson, Co-ordinator, Wome n's Intercollegiate Program. Department o f Athl e tic s. Shirle y was working to change the status of women athletes at Guelph long before it became a uni ve rs ity; before some of o ur present students were bo rn. Today she radiate s such youthfulness and vitality that it' s hard to believe that she was already the mo ther of fi ve when she first came to the campus in 1961 . She started with a part-time job on the front desk at the Athletic s Ce ntre, but it was not lo ng hefore she was

involv ed in a wide range of o ther acti v ities. She explains: "[ used to tra vel with any of the team s that lacked a faculty ad viso r - o ne of thcm was the archery team and it wasri't long befo re [ w as coaching archery. I had played hoc key for four years back in Teul o n, M a nitoba, and that led to my becoming head coach for the hoc ke y team. When Can-Am started a women's hoc key sc ho ol at the Univers ity I rail that for ten years. I had als o curled in Manitoba, so I coac hed o ur c urling team as well. "It may sound like a lo t, it was, but in those days there was no o ther way . Women with sports experience were few and far between, and a nyone who knew what they were doing was pretty well bound to get the opportunity.' , Opportunity ca me in 1967 when co- o rdina to r Eve lyn Bird moved to the De partment of Human Kinetic s a nd Shirley took her place, Right from the beginning, Shirley's

number one objective was to c hange bo th the status and the image of women a thletes-the way they were regarded and the way they regarded them sel ves. For ex ample , s he had no time fo r the mac ho image that so me women hock ey players liked to cultivate-dress ing, ta lking and trying to pla y lik e men . " We've come a lo ng way since then . As w o men achieved m o re s ucces s in athl e ti cs they found it le ss nec es sary to imitate men. They di scovered that it was poss ible to be them se lves and sti ll be winners. Back when they felt, or were made to feel, inferior, they tried to co mp e nsate by be ing as ma sc uline as po ss ible -the back of which , is something I'm vel'y glad to ha ve see n ." Standards kept improving all thro ugh the ' 70s . High schools acquired beller coach es, there are now provine ial and national te a ms for women, women's s ports are draw ing ev er more spectators , and women athletes are committed as they never were before, " There are no playdays any more . You don't practice fo ur or five times a week and go on the roa d and keep up a games sc hed ule o n topo f the whole aca demic wor k lo ad unless you me an business. It's like ha vi ng two full-time Jobs. When you're going after nati o nal championships in ba sketball, volleyball. skiin g, field hock ey, swimming , ice hock ey or ba se ball, you have to be dedLcated. The se me ster sys tem doesn't make things any easier. Athlete s at the Univers ity o f Guelph, women o r men , ha ve to be very well organi zed, and they ha ve to give up a lo t o f other things ." There are now a bout 200 wo men invol ved in inter-co ll egiate athletics at the U ni vers ity, plu s one of the bigges t intra-mur al participati o n rates of any uni vers ity in Canada-at lea st 150 volleyball team s and o ver 100 hockey te am s. "The pro blems no lo nger lie in the areas of status, ability or participation. The bes t of our energies are now going into figurin g out how to make the best use of badly o verstrained facilities, Everything is going continuously and cO llld . Ol'er

things break down all the time. We can only keep this up for so long. One day everything's going to go ker-plop." The strain is inevitable, given a facility built back in the 1950s at a time when the entire student body numbered no more than 1,500. Today it' s 12 ,000. Connicting claims on re so urce s are not resolved in terms of women athletes versus men athletes, but strictly in terms of what the various teams actually need-in ice time or anything else. "Cutbacks affect us all. Of course the women need more, but the men need more too. We just have to be innovative. When the hockey team wanted to go to McGill University they organized a skate-a-thon and raised $ 1,300 for the trip. Before the basketball team went to Hawaii they had to work for four years operating concessions at the men' s games, collecting pop bottles and that kind of thing . The field hoc key team did the same thing when they had their eyes on Barbados. " Recruiting becomes ever more important. [t take s very good athletes to meet today' s competitive standards. They have to be skimmed off at the high school level and Shirley 's coaches will go anywhere in Ontario to offer the University of Guelph program to promising young athletes, male or female . "It's not easy. We have no scholarships to offer and we're up against western provincial governments who will give up to $1 ,000 to each athlete on a Canadian Inter-varsity Athletic s Union team. It's even tougher competing with U.S. universities that offerfull scholarships . We had a camp for basketball last year and, out of seven top-calibre girls, only

one stayed in Ontario. "Happily, we're getting more and more help from alumni, especially those who are involved in sports as coaches, managers or players. They either do a good selling job themselves or they tip us off when they run into an oustanding girl. And we want them , badly. Let's face it, having outstanding athletes helps raise the profile of the Universi ty as a whole. Media coverage of national events helps to keep the University before the public." Despite the difficulties, University of Guelph women are doing very well. The basketball team has gone to the Nationals four times in six years since Karen Lee became coach. The field hockey team is right up there. Shirley landed six ice hockey championships while she was coaching and Sue Scherer' s team is among the best in the co untry. AI Fairweather. CBS '75, aquatics program supervisor, has a number of national winners and Sandra Hart, head coach of women's volleyball, is making great strides. "Any team playing against Guelph knows in advance that they're going to have to work very hard indeed. Individuals? Well there's Linda Kasienko, a member of the Canadian Archery Team at the 1982 Commonwealth Games in Australia and a front runner for the Los Angeles Olympic s. There's Candy Lohr, a national basketball player, and Sue Scherer, one of the best female hoc key players in Canada and a member of the national baseball team." Shirley Peterson sees little point in playing except to win. This is the philosophy which she has persistently expounded to a whole generation of athletes. Whatever it is, if you're

going to do some thing, do it well or don't bother. Second best? Who needs it? And ,in Shirley's philosophy this doesn't only apply to sports but to everything else you do; it's as true of sewing and cooking as it is ofbasketb·all and hockey. "I guess I' ve always been competitive , in life as well as in spo rts, but when I say competitive I'm really talking about caring enough about so mething - any thing -so that you give it your best. What satisfaction is there in defeating a seco nd-rate team? It's far more rewarding to play against a first-class team and beat them . "I attach a lot of importance to the competitive s pirit. It ma y be true that we ca n't all be winners but if I' m not a winner [' m goi ng to do something about it. I'm not going to stay down there too long. r sincerely believe that anyone who wants to be a winner badly enough to accept the di sci plines of work can make it. Obviously a young woman coming into a spon at the age of 18 is going to find it virtually impossible to ca tc h up with someone who 's been playing that game seriously since she was eight- but she can sti ll go a long way. We have many women like th at, and I'm proud of them ." If there's one thing Shirley Peterson likes better than winning, it's motivating others to win. And she tru sts people, both her athletes and her staff. She te .lls them right at the beginning what is expected of them, adding, "If you need any help, I'm here" She puts them in command. People like being in command. Maybe that' s a good note to end on Shirley Pe terson in si x words or less- " If yo u need he lp, I'm here ." Long may she be here at the University.

Gryphon Club CalDpaign Successful

In 1982

By Dick Freeman, Promotions Manager, D epartme nt of Athl etics. lthough the Gryphon Club i~ a relative neWl'omcr to the Univasity 's Annu al Alma Mater Fund , the concept of alumn i and friends supporting athletic s at the Uni ve rsit y can be well doc ume nted . One need loo k no further th an Power Hou se Lane , where ye ars of generous support appear in the visage of Alumni Stad ium and, just thi s past year, the Alm a Mater Fund Advisory Council alloca ted in excess of $20.000 to acquire a CYBEX " rehabilitation unit. Countless athletes have benefitted from this piece of equipment that assists in the diagnosis and evaluation of limb injuries. The Gry phon Club has just completed its fourth year of operat ion and is proud to boas t an all-time high in interest. The Club was formed in 1979 through the co mbined effort s of then Department of Athletics director Gib Chapman ; former Department director Bill Mitchell , OAC '3 8; Shirley Peterson , co-ordinator of the Women' s Intercollegiate Program. and wrestlin g coach Londo Iacovelli. They were respon sible for co llecting data on former Gryphons, Agg ies and Redme n. The ma in initial concern was to establish a direct Iine of communication between the University and former athletes and friends of University athletics, and the formati ve months were spent establishing an information bank. Fonner football Gryphon Peter John so n, HAFA '76, and Doug Taylor, OAC ' 70, served as chair and vice and helped guide the organization. In the fall of 19R2 , Dave Copp was appointed director of the Department of Athletics and con tinued the work of refin ing the Club 's operat ion and it's objectives. The newly elected ex ecut ive , which includes co-chair man and former hocke y Gryphon Kim Mil es, CBS '76 : form er Wildman Troph y winner Tom Arnott . CBS ' 80; staff co-ordi nato rs Dick Freeman and Bud Fo lusewych , CSS '71. and member-at-large I-'rank Abbey . OAC '72, is husy preparing for the 1983 fund rai si ng ca mpai gn in co-operation with the Depar tment (l f Alumni Affairs and De ve lopment . In 19R2. the campaign the me . "Double Up to Catch Up" , is (lOW history. as arc the res ults. The $8.000 Fund targe t was achieved.

but more important was the impact on Club projects. A hocke y alumni go lf to urn ament in June was an ove rwhel min g success- 足 numerically if not esthetically- and the Homecom in g ' 8 2 football game was equally well attended. Bonds of fellowship were renewed an d ya rns of al most forgonen esca pades were Joyously reco unted. A natural ex tensio n of this feel ing was obvious in the 1982 members hip ca mp aign . A Cryo/Te mp co ld-press ure therapy unit was purchas ed from the in iti al campaign funds. This unit dramatically speeds recovery and s ignific an tly reduces pain and discomfort in treating arm and leg injuries One need o nly spend a few moments in the Alumni Stadium treatment room to witness the value of this eq uipment in helping injured Gryph ons back to the line-up. Specific sports projects were high lighted in th e 1982 seaso n. The hockey projec t was the purchase of new " Flak " protecti ve equipment and uniforms. Over $2,500 was alloca ted to this project with fantastic results. The new protective equipment has witnessed the mos t injury-free season in recent hist ory and allowed our athletes the extra protection an d versatility characeristic of the eq uipment . Our foot ball program benefitted from the use of two Kodak Anal yst Projectors purchased with funds allocated to the Gryphon Club from the Alma Mater Fund. Coaches and players

alike can now spend more time an al ysing ga me films, refining techniques and preparing for op pone nts. A late campaign addition was a wrestling projec t to purchase wrestling mats. With do nati on s Just beginning, ove r $1 ,000 of the $4,000 project has been realized . The o ver wh elming participatio n by former athletes and current friends of the Gryphons is much app recia ted by "c urrent University o f Guelph flag bearers," says hoc ke y captain Ray Irwin. "It really makes us pro ud to wear th e Red and Gold." Irw in, a prime cand id ate for Canad a 's 1984 Olympic team, has perso nal ly written to those who contributed to the hockey project. "I wa nt them to reali ze how important it is to each of us to bene fit from their generosi ty '" Helpin g each othe r-that's what it 's all about. The Gryphon Club is concerned with people; helping to organ ize people to help people . A new thrust that will be introduced during the 1983 campaign will be the offer of co rporate memberships in the D irec tors Club category. Already , four bus inesses have joined the $250 group ing led by the inaugural member - the Uni vers ity Centre Administration under the direction of Ron Co llins . The 1983 campaign will ki ck off in April. Although no theme is yet in place, the 1983 executive co mmittee echoes Ray Irwin 's thoug hts- "Thank you for caring and sharing -in every se nsei " 0

The new program can help alumni and their families start a good b asic life insurance plan, or it can act as an eco nomical su p plement to any existing coverage. The plan consists of the following benefits: • Term Life Insurance for alumni and their spouses - up to $200,000 each. • Dependent Children's Coverage - $5,000 on each child. • Accidental Death and Dismemberment Insurance - up to $100,000 for a lumni and/or their spouses.

From

The

D ean During the ten years that [ have been in th e Dean's Office, many former stud e nt s and friends o f the College have contributed interesting and valuab[e histori cal items for safeke e ping in the OAC archive s. It wa s during our Centennial Ye a r, [974 , that 1 first heard a bout one of the more innovative of early student projects the OAC Cosmopolitan Club . Waldo Arbuthnot, ' 32, brought two litho g raphs to my office th at he had been holding "in pro tective custody" for 46 ye ar s! These pictures had been in the Cosmopolitan Club and later in the ori g inal John ston Hall, but had been "removed for sa fekeepin g" by W al d o Arbuthnot and so me of his classmates sometime during the 1928/29 sc hool year, during the time that the old John s ton Hal[ was being wrecked. These pictures are now part of the Uni ver s it y of Guelph Art Co llec tion . I next heard about the Cos mopo lita n Club in 1979 from the late Clarence Hand, '25, who recalled utilizing the club in 1922 . He mentioned tha t Mr. a nd Mrs. Jame s Slinger lived in the club a t that time and that Mrs . Slinger would, when requested , pre pare s nacks fo r the students. Jim Slinger was a herdsman at the OAC and the grandfather of Stan, '37; J ohn (Jake), Do n, ' 50; Edna , Alice, Ma c ' 4 8; George , Bo b and El s ie. A few week s ago, retired Profe ssor Charl es G. Way well , the present owner o f the ho use that was formerly occupied by the Cosmopolitan Ciub, visited me to present the College with the brass nameplate pi c tured ri g ht. He had loc ated this namepl ate in the base ment of the ho use a nd indicated

his wish that it be reta ined by the Ontari o Agric ultural College. Following hi s v is it, I decided that I sho uld attempt to find o ut some thing more about the origins and the ac ti vi ti es of th e Club, as [ felt that others might share my interest in thi s bit ofOAC hi story . Thank s to the help of se ve ra l people, including Fred Pre sa nt, ' 23, Alan Darlington , ' 83, J a ke Slin ger , and Nancy Sadek of the Uni ve rsity 'S Library, I have been able to put together the fo llowi ng brief history: The student s' Cos mopo lit a n Club of the Ontario Agricultural Co ll ege me t for the fir s t time in Oct obe r 1910 in the Massey Library . Th e objectives of the Club were to " promo te a better understa ndin g o f the po litical , economic and literary problems of different countri e s " and to "c ulti vate soc ial inte rcourse among the st udent s of different na tio nalities of th e College, a nd thereby to foster the spirit of uni versal brotherhood." The Club was incorp orated by letters patent iss ued by the Government of Ontari o, Ja nuary 28, 1911. In December 1910, the Club , consist ing of about 60 members , rented a house at 21 Forbes Avenue . The members at th a t time were from 16 different countries a nd included 34 s tudents a nd 26 others - some faculty a nd intere sted Guelph ci tizens. In the Spring of 1911, the much larger " Bald win Ho use" at 59 Dunda s Road , now the Way well home, was I.eased. In addition to providing a soc ial club , the C osmo politan Club was ac tiv e in prom oting student d a nces and " smokers. " The

Club also initi a ted the first "co-op" on cam pus to pro vide textboo ks a nd o the r items for students . This ac tivit y wa s ques ti o ned in a le tte r from the Deputy Mini ster of Agri c ulture to Pre s ident Creelman in M a rch 191 2 , ev idently beca use of students ' complaints th a t the cost of te x tbooks was o nl y five cents less than the regular price' Pres ident Cree lm a n was Honorary Pres ident of the Club until he left t'he OAC in 1920. By 1922 the Club was in financial diffi c ulties and facu Ity members of the OA C were a pproached fo r help. Al so, in a n effort to offset these problems , beds were offered to transient vi s itor s to the College for 25 cents per ni ght . However , all efforts failed, and the Club was fo rced to c lose with the last meetin g he ld in Nove mbe r 28, 1923. Fred Presa nt offered many intere sting rec o llecti o ns of his student days when he utilized the facilities of the Club . He recalled playing bridg e with Pres ident Reynold s, including the fact th a t Dr. Rey nolds constantly berated him for over biddin g hi s hand' He menti o ned that the international students who utilized the Club mo stly Ii ved in rented rooms in hou ses near St. Ge orge' s Anglican Church, but made use of the Club almost daily and meeting room facilities - as well as Mrs. Sling er's snacks. Following the demi se of the Cos mopolita n Club, the house in which it o perated was bought by the late Profe ssor J ac k Ba ker, ' II , former he ad of the Department of Entomology. He , in turn, so ld it to Pro fe sso r Waywell in 1954 . 0

The OAC Alumni Foundation Prior to the establishment of the University of G uelph in 1964, OAC alumni were alre ady conducting an annual fund raising campaign . In the mid 1950s , the OAC Alumni Association directors , in res ponse to needs ex pressed by OAC facult y, undertook to raise several thousand dollars , annually , to fund entrance scholarships for exccptional students with good rural backgrounds who might be interes ted in attending the OAC. It was soon apparent that a more stable source of income was needed if the annual entrance scholarship program was to have assured funding . As the next step, the OAC Alumni Association directors decided, in 1959 , to establish a foundation-to be known as the OAC Alumni Foundation. It would have power to hold funds received for investment, to issue receipts for income tax purposes and, from the interest eamed by the fund, the ability to assure OAC scholarship programs on a continuing basis . A major fund-raising campaign ap pealing to both alumni and agribusiness was approved. The target was $200,000 and the late Harold Frey, '14, was commis sioned to spearhead the campaign, on a part-time basis. County mee tings were organized to enable a personal can va ss of every OAC alumnus. In major centres, a telephone blitz was undertaken. All of this, from the stuffing of en velopes, the organizational meetings, the canvass c alls, manning the telephone hlitzes. to o pening the incoming mail and counting the returns , was undertaken by directors of the O AC Alumni Assoc iation and other OAC volunteers . The res ult , di sa ppointing to some, was a total of close to $110,000 being rai se d. Thoug h short of the o bjective, it was enough to guarantee eight annual entrance scholarships 01"$1 ,000 each. T he OAC Alumni Foundation was in place and operating. The late Frank Wo lff, '36; John Moles , '36; Earl Mighton , '31; Lawrence Kerr, '29; the late Morf Cock burn, '23 ; and Fred Presa nt, '23, were the origi nal alumni directo rs of the Foundation, incorporated February 26, 1960. When the new University of Gue lph decided to undertake a capital building fund campaign in 1967, directors of the OAC Alumni Assoc iation were asked to su spend their fund rai s ing effort and to join the U nive rsity campaign- which they did. In 1969 , foll o wing the conclusion of

Gordon Nixon, '37, chairman, the OAC Alumni Foundation the University's capital building fund ca m paign, the OAC Alumni Association again conducted an annual fund raising campaign on behalf of the Foundation-it was the last formal campaign for fund s. In the fall of 1969, the Univers ity announced plans to mount its annual Alma Mater Fund campaign on behalf of all component colleges of the University, to be conducted by the Department of Alumni Affairs and Development. In lieu of conducting their own cam paign, the OAC Alumni Foundation was guaranteed an amount of $8 ,000 for the ir OAC Awards Program. This amount is now reviewed every three years, in common with sc ho larship grants from the Alma Mater Fund to all o ther colleges. By 1982 , the grant had risen to $17 ,88 8. As gi ving to the Alma Mater Fund has increased, so have the amounts made avail able to each college scholarship program . In practice. the increase s have paralleled the increases in fees and residence costs. For e x.ample, the OAC Alumni Fo undatio n is now able to o ffer 12 entrance sc holarships with a value of $2.400 each. Tho ugh no formal fund raising cam paign is carried on by the OAC Alumni Foundation, its asse ts continue to grow and its good work on behalf of OAC students continues . A sound investment po licy, and the continuing fi nancial supp o rt of loyal O AC alumni, have increased the endowment fund to approximately $225 ,000 . E ntrance scholarships, undergraduate and g raduate awards to OAC students in 1981, totalled more than $28,000.

As part of its c apital fund , the OAC Alumni Fo undati o n is the cu stodian of th e Clas., ' 14 Memorial Library P urcha se Fund, the Waghorne Mem o rial Teaching Fellow ship Fund, and the OAC D iploma Cen tenni al Fund supporting diploma student scholarships. The membership and contrOllIng au thority of the Fo undation comprises some 29 past pres idents or acti ve members 0 f the OAC Alumni Assoc iation, together with eight ex-officio members by virtue of their interest in and/or re spon s i bili ty to the O AC. Re spon s ibility for the on-going opera tion of the Foundation res ts with the board of directors, who presently comprise the following elected mem bers: John Eccles, '40 ; Bill Fulton, '57, vice-chairman; Mike Jenkinson, '63; Gord Ni xo n, , 37, chairman, and Tom S a wy e r, ' 59A and '64. Ex-officio director s are He nry Stanley, '55, Don Rise bro ugh, '77, E lmer Menzie, De an Cl ay Switzer, ' 51 , and Clare Rennie, '47.

have been in th e field of ornamental hor ti culture, and o ne of his objectives has always been that of educ atin g the public about the plant wo rld. It is, th erefo re , not surprising that, under his direction, the Royal Bota ni cal Garde ns at Hamilto n has developed into a scie ntifi c, educational and cultural in stitu ti on, known and respected not on ly at local and region al levels, but nation ally and int ernati onall y. The Canadian Botanical Association is therefore grateful that Les lie Laking, a Canadian botani st with a sound sc ientific background and the necessary trainin g in horti culture , has devo ted his career to th e impo rtant tasks of: I . furthering our knowl edge of the practi ca l aspects of growing plants, 2. imparting this knowledge both to bot a nists and to the public at large . 3 . promoting the concept that, in the sc ientific and cultural life of a nation, a botanical garden' s role must be of the same order and stature as that of our great museu ms, never losing sig ht of the fac t th at both ex ist to se rve mankind. In recog niti on of his ac hi eve ments in the field of orn am ent al horticulture , and for an ousta nding career in the development of scie ntific , educational and c ultural pro grams at the Royal Bo tani ca l Garden s, the Canadian Botani cal Associat ion award s the George Lawso n Meda l to Dr .

A Retrospective

Dean Janet Wardlaw's Years At Guelph By Mary C o civera When Dr. Janet W ardlaw came to the niver sity ofGuclph from Toronto in 1966 , the College of Famil y and Consumer Studies was not even a twinkling in any one's eye. In the late 1960s the vision of the University's first president . Dr. J . D . MacLachlan, was to hring into being a Co ll ege that would meet the needs of Canadian society in th e 1980s . Looking hack now, Dean Wardlaw marvel s at his visionary approach. She has been intimately involved in the e volution o f th e Collcge to its present structure, encolll pass ing the Department of Family Studies . the Department of Consumer Studies and the School of Hotel and Food Administra tion. That vision wouldn't have become a reality with o ut the strong support ufthe next president, Dr. Bill Winegard, and vice pres ident. academic, Dr. Burt Matthews who thoroughly believed in the burgeoning College and it s far-sighted mis sio n. Dr. Wardlaw also attributes much of th e early success to the Macdonald Institute faculty who threw their full support behind the new College. even though it meant sweeping changes in their well- ordered a ademic Ii ves. "We predicted, and in retrospect those predictions were uncannily ac curate, that more women , particularly mothers of young children, would enter the w o rk force. that families would be smaller, more mobile and co nsequently more removed from relatives. that more products would be available in the marketplace and that government would

take more responsibility in the market place ," says Dr. Wardlaw . "We envisioned majors in Family Studies , Child Studies, Applied Human Nutrition, and Consumer Studies that would prepare people fo r careers in this kind of world . The thing we didn't foresee was the impact of the aging populati o n, but the College has developed a strength in this area in the last several years ." Those early organizers of the College believed that many of the problems facing Canadian society would require co operative input by psyc hol og is ts, econo mi sts. soci ologists, social workers , and many other spec ialist s. Today the co mposi tion of the faculty-from architect to textile scientist - reflects this co mmitment to the multi-disciplinary approach. The College achieves an environment where consumer behavior speciali sts can communicate with child psychol ogists and where gerontologists can work with nutri

tionists. " We 've made eno rmous progn::ss in thi s area, " says Dr. Wardlaw, " but it's something we have to continually work on. Thi s kind of environment is still very unusu al. " Has the College fulfilled Dr. Mac Lachlan 's vision? " Ycs'" says Dr . Wardlaw , without a moment's hesitation. "Gradu ate s have moved into family service agencies , teaching , business and govern ment. Everywh ere they go, they carry with them the co nviction that today 's probl e ms mu st be so lve d by interaction and co operation between specialists in different disc iplines. This broad o utl ook gives the graduates a valuable and unu s ual perspe c tive. "My hope, " she adds, "is th at the C ollege will continue to re -e valuate its mandate and its role 111 serving C anadian soc ie ty . We've identified crucial are as, but we need to keep asking if the areas have c hanged and if we' re dea ling with those areas in the most effective way ." 0

The idea is no t new. Coo king oi l wa s tried as fuel in Second World War tank s, bu t efficiency was low and wear on motors was extensive. The problem is th e hi gh viscos it y o f the oil. Vege table oils a re co mposed of large '" E" shaped molec ul es and, in order tn redu ce the viscos ity, c hemi s ts must cut orr the "t hree arms" o f the le tter " E". This is done by a process which inv olves addin g alcohol a nd ca talysts, follow ed by vigorous mixin g. Smaller, and therefore kss viscous , mol ecu les called " esters" are the result. The remaining verti ca l part of the lell e r " E" is glycerine, a by-product which has a number o f indu str ia l us e s. Th e project is partly bein g carr ied out under con tract wi th Agri cultu re C anada which is interes ted in the biomass e nergy potential of canola o il which is rapidl y

Scottish Heritage Festival- May 7 to 15 by Professor Ted Cowan. Department of History One April day in 1827, John Galt and Tiger Dunlop pen etrated the bush to cut down a tree and to demolish a bottle of whisky. Thus was Guelph born- though these two native Scots so far forgot their birthright as to conduct their ceremony on the feast day of SI. George, the patron saint of England, Galt, whose future career harvested little but penury and mi se ry, stayed a mere two years, during which time he tried to ensure that only the mos t desirable Scots settled the new community. Some 137 years later a no less enter prising Scot, albeit one who could trace his Canadian antecedents to Galt 's own life time , decided that Scottish Studies would form one of the strengths of the newly founded Well ington College, later to be reorganized and give birth to the College of Arts at the University of Guelph. Professor W Stanfo rd Reid established what is now recogni sed as the finest graduate progra m in Scottish History and Scots-Canadian studies in North America. Through a mix ture o f charm, persuasio n, sheer brass-neck and what some may distinguish as banditry , he also assembled one of the best co llection of Scottish books and manuscripts o utside of Scotland . In recent years. students in the Scottish Studies program have attracted a Queen Eli zabeth Scholarship, a Commonwealth Scholarship and seve ral University of Guelph Graduate Scholarship s as well as awards from the Ontario Genealogica l Soc iety and the Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada. Since 1966 the Scottish Studies Inter departmental Group , which has included members from the departments of History , English, Sociology , Zoology. Classical Studies and the Library. has mounted a twice-yearl y Scottish Culloquium aimed at the academic comm unity as well as the general public. In 1983 the Ontario Heritage Foun datio n/ Ministry of C itizenship and Cu lture is sponsuring an ethnic fes tival for the

first time. The Scottish Herit age Festival will take place at Guelph May 7-15. The event is also supported by the University of Guelph, the City of Guelph, the Guelph Chamber of Commerce, the Canadian As sociation for Scottish Studies, and the Clans and Scottish Societies of Canada. Judging by the response so far, Guelph will never be the sa me again. Mayor Norm Jary will declare May 7 - 15 Scottish Week and the Scottis h fl ag will fly at City Hall. Vi s itors from across Canada, as well as the United States, have indicated their intention of attendmg. A Grand Scottish Concert Dance at the Royal Canadian Legion, featuring the popu lar Scottish singer Peter Glen accompanied by Bobbie Brown and his "Sco tti sh Accent," will launch the festival on April 29 A special church service is planned in St . Andrews Church on May 8. Throughout the week a festival of Scottish films will be presented nightly including such favourites as Whish Galore. Culloden, The Thiny Nine S/eps and The Kidnappers, in several cases with expert introduction by a visiting speaker. Dougla s Campbell, the ce lebrated actor, wi!.1 present recollections of his early life in Scotland together with a selection of his favourite readings May 9. The Uni ve r si ty of Guelph Faculty Club will mount a whisky-tasting on May II. A soccer tour nament will take place during the first week end . Cliff Hanley, the celebrated Sco ttish novelist, broadcaster,journalist and wit will be on hand durin g the week to eulogise and miscall Scots and Scots-Canadians alike . Cl iff was Scottis h-Canadian exchange wri ter 1979-80 and he will discu ss his idio syncratic views of the Scots in C anada. He wa s also a c lose friend of the late John Grierson, founder of the N ational Film Board of Canada, an acquaintance which well qualifies him to introduce an evening of Griersun documentari es including Snmrd 'h e Greu/ Ships which won an osca r and for

which Hanley wrote the script. Other planned events include a Scot tish poetry reading, a book display. a Scottish banquet May 13, craft demonstra tions, clan booths, folk concerts, the We s t ern Ontario Highland Dancing Competi tion , and, inevitably wherever two or three Scots are gathered, innumerable ceilidhs both scheduled and spontaneous . At the downtown parad e, May 14, pipe bands will be joined by the 84th Royal Highland Regiment and the 74th Hi g hland Reg iment (Duke of Argyll's Own) for displays of IHth century musketry and drills. During the festival the Macdonald Stewart Art Centre will mount an exhibition for the works of A. Y. .Jackson. whose antecedents were Scottish, together with othe r pieces from the University 's art col lectio n which represent the Scottish Herit age theme. SpeCial tours will be offered by the Centre, as they will by the University library whi ch is o rganizing an exhibition of Scottish books and manuscripts and which will produce a specia l Scottish issue of ColleClions Upi/u/e. The Guelph Civic Mu seum will present a Scottish Heritage exhibition and the "Gael" exhibition . loaned by An Comunn in Inverne ss, will also be displayed . Between May 12-15, some 40 papers on the theme of " The Scottish Ex perience in Canada" will be presented representing the g re atest gathering of experts on this theme ever as se mbled in thi s country. C ontributions are promised froIll Al bert a. M anitoba. N ova S cotia . . ew Brunsw ick and the United States as well as from Ontario . Migration, settlement, culture. religion, literature and po litics will all be scrutiniz.ed and debated . The Sco ttish myth will be reinforced or exploded once and for all. A communit y picnic at the Royal Can ad ian Legion will conclude the fes tiviti es. and throughout the week the em phasi s will be upo n community invo lve

Scott Hobson, an outstandi ng de fens ive back has captured Gryphon football's most prestigious award, the Ted Wildman Me morial trophy for 1983 Dr. Jack Cote, '5 I, chairman of the selection committee, spoke with pride in announcing the selection. A former Wild man Trophy winner himself (1950), Dr. Cote noted that no one has topped Hobson's record in meeting the criteria for the award. [t is awarded to a senior or graduating student representing the University in inter-collegiate football competition who exemplifies to the highest degree the charac teristics of true sportsmanship, leadership and gentlemanly conduct and who has attained good scholarship while at the University. Hobson's on-field brilliance was never more evident than in the Gryphon's Home coming '82 victory which helped turn around an early season slump. The win catapulted the Gryphons to two of their most notable victories ever. A first team All-Star two years ago, Hobson returned to the Gryphons line-up this year and, as a co captain, led the team to victories over the University of Western Ontario and Univer sity of To ronto; a first in league play for the Re d and Gold. He was subsequently named to the league's All-Star team. Off the field, the soft-spoken Hobson has compiled a record even more glittering. As an undergraduate, he compiled a grade average of 90 per cent in the Bachelor of Science program, including 20 straight "A"s. [n 1981, Scott entered the OvC and has again maintained an "A" average. His brilliant performance in the classroom moved both Dr. Cote and head football coach, Tom Dimitroff, to describe him as "the perfect" choice for an award that honours versatility, leadership, physical powers and academic scholarship. Hobson is a graduate of Guelph's John F. Ross Collegiate, where he earned similar

honours on and off the field. 0
