About 900 alumni , staff and friends of Loyola attended a testimonial dinner May 30, in honour of Rev . Patrick G. Malone, S. J., who leaves the College in July after 15 years as President.

Among the guests were Solicitor-General Warren Allmand , Senator Therese Casgrain, Claire Kirkland -Casgrain, President of the Minimum Wage Commission, Dr . John O ' Br ien , Rector of Concordia University, and the Hon . Patrick Power, Canadian Am-bassador to Ireland. Father Malone' s family from Toronto was also present at the dinner .

Loyola biographer and well-known alumni, T.P . Slattery, Q.C., described the President as "splendid with courage" in his introduction of Father Malone.

changed and adapted itself to the con -temporary wor ld . Its newest challenge is its entrance into Concordia Univer -sity. "If Loyola enters bravely into partnership with Sir George Williams the characteristics that have given pride in the past will give pride in the future to Loyolians and Concord-ians ."

Father Malone was presented with several gifts, including a painting by Armand T atossian, Loyola professor and youngest member of the Royal Canadian Academy. A $25,000 scholarship fund was also set up to honour Father Malone which will

pay full tuition annually for three Loyola students .

RONALD BOUCHER, ALUMNI PRESIDENT LOOKS AHEAD

WE ARE ON THE THRESHOLD All previous addresses on this oc-

casion have indicated that the Asso-ciation had many challenges such as :

a) To get Alumni-Alumnae to be-come more acti ve;

b) To create more activities for the Alumni -Alumnae;

c) Improve communications be-tween the Associat ion and undergrad-u.Jtes;

d) Recruit new students for the Col-lege, etc., etc ....

However , I believe our cha llenges in 74-75 will be in OUR ability to survive - that's right - we won ' t exist unless we can prove that we deserve the right to go on . The proposed merger between Sir George and Loy-ola, when completed, could d estroy us, unless we can justify our con -tinued existence, not because of ou r past successes but because of our present abilities and capabilities. This , in my view, represents an opportunity for all of us. It is no longer accepta-ble that the Association will continue to exist simply because we have exist-ed for the past 25 years or more.

In his address to the guests, Father Malone discussed learning and higher education as a necessity of self-development. Learning must be action, growth and enhancement of the learner, he sai:::l. "It is the function of higher education to provide, in partnership with the family, that background of culture and social habit upon which a healthy society depends" .

THE YEAR IN REVIEW

Loyola exists today, said Father Malone, because it is alive and has

Mr . President, Fellow Members of the Loyola Alumni Association:

Appro ximate ly a year ago to the day I stood before you as the in -coming President and spoke of the change that was soon to take place at Loyola . Tonight I feel as if time has stood still for a full year as th e promised change is still forthcoming . Living in this v acuum has not been

easy. The real test of an association 's

success, however, is whether it tried . Your Board of Directors, together with the Executive, spent many hours try-ing to do what they felt was neces-sary to maintain a vibrant and healthy association.

BOUCHER- cont'd from page 1

We, as an Association, are only as good and strong as those who repre-sent us. This new board has been structured with several younger grad-uates. It is our belief that the survival of this A ssoci ation wi ll be dependent upon the younger Alumni-Alumnae w ho can handle the many pressures that wi ll b e placed upon them .

I am confident that this new group of younger Board Members will carry on, not only the traditions of this Association but more important, will be able lo justify the· Association 's continuance and strength in thefuture with or without a new pa rtner.

We plan to have the usual social events (Golf, Oyster Party and o few others). We must complete our Class Ag-ent System now under the capable leadership of Gary Brown. Further-more, we intend lo continue the "Step-ping Stones" & " Br idges Series".

The Hall of Fame nominating com-mittee will be getting together in the near future. We are under way to another successful year w ith the War-ri os Club headed up by Terry Pye and Danny McCann .

Th e Annual Special Fund Draw will take place September 9th at the Royal Mon treal Golf Club and will be under the Chairmanship of Frank McNally.

Unfor tunately, Bernie McCallum will be leaving the Alumni Association . His posi tion as D irector of Alumn i Af-fa irs w ill not be filled at th e present tim e. We w ill continue to have Per -manent Secr etarial Servi ce and Offi -ces. Howev er , we must once again demonstrate th at we can continue to survive wh ile r educing our expen ses and at the same ti me in creas ing ou r "raiso n d'etre" to the Alumn i-Alu mnae.

As I said at th e beg inning, our fut ure depends upon the ability of the Younger D irectors to insist on thei r rights and show by their enthu sias m, intelligence and leadership that this Association can and will continue to fulfill a need in the Loyola Community. If a merger does take place, then our role should become even more im-portant in the Larger Concordia Com-munity .

The Club, which will be the site of the 1975 Ca~adian Open, has guaran-teed the Alumni Association the best of tw o worlds - an excellent golf course and a gourmet cuisine. Bob Leclerc '65, Chairman of the event and his comm ittee are hard at work preparing for the big day .

The shot-gun tournament will accommodate 144 golfers on a firs t come, first served basis .

The price for this year ' s event will be $25.00 - $12.50 green fees and $12.50 for dinner - inflation has hit. But once you play the cour se, tas te the roast beef, and w in on e of the many prizes, everything will appear roses.

a) the need for a Loyola A lumni Association ;

I woul d like to personally thank all the Directo rs for giving their time and energy . I would also like to acknow-ledge the very necessary support of Loyola's administration and in particu-lar, President Malone. Notonlyforthe financial support, without which the Association wouldn 't exist, but most of all , for the sincere interest he takes in our activities and his ready willing-ness to help. I would like to wish him the best as he leaves Loyola -his presence will be greatly missed.

Thompson, brother of Mrs .Joan Thomson, Paul Thompson of Oakville, Ontario, and the late Malcolm Thomp-son . Funeral service held at St. Igna-tius of Loyola Church.

It is with great sorrow that the Col-lege has learned of the death of Francis J. (Frank) Gore, 69, who worked at Loyola for 26 years before his retirement in 1972. Mr. Gore died April 30 after a lengthy illness. He is survived by his wife, Gertrude, sons, Jim and Phil, both at Loyola as directors respectively of the Lan-guage Laboratory and the Bookstore, Kevin, and daughters, Moira and Pat.

Frank Gore was superintendent of Loyola's Physical Plant for 20 years after World W or 11 and I ater worked in Receiving . He also did volunteer work with the Catholic Sailors Club. He was well-known in St. Ignatius Pa-rish. For many years he sang in the parish choir . Father Edward M. Brown, for mer president of Loyola who is now with St. Ignatius, described Mr. Gore as "the most obliging man one could ever find" .

During the war Frank Gor e had an outstanding record as a radio expert wi th the Ferry Command. He also serviced with the Royal Air Force be-fore the war.

The College announces with deepest regret the death of former Loyola Print Shop Foreman, Robert Gauthier .

Robert, 30, was killed accidentally in a motorcycle accident. He is sur-vived by his wife, Irene (Emard), and their baby girl. Mrs. Gauthier worked for several years in the Loyola Book-store.

Robert was at Loyola for six years before leaving to start his own print-ing business in January 1974.

SPRING CONVOCATION: A FIRST AND A LAST

Loyola's 78th spring convocation was a milestone for the College in three distinct ways. It was Loyola's last convocation as a separate insti-tution before its entry into Concordia University; it was the last convocation for Rev. Patrick G. Malone, S. J., who ends a 15-year career as Loyola President in July; and it marked the first time a woman was chosen to ad-dress the graduating class. Barbara Frum, CBC broadcaster and journal-ist, was the first woman in Loyola's history to speak at commencement ceremonies.

A total of 749 students from four faculties received degrees at the June I exercises - 437 from Arts , 162 from Commerce, 137 from Science and 13 from Engineering .

In addition to the six major awards given out at the ceremonies, a new medal, The Malone Medal , was in -

augurated by the Loyola Students' Association. The medal which will commemorate Father Malone, will be given yearly to the student who has made outstanding contributions to non- academic activities while at Loyola. This year's recipient was former co-president of the LSA, Marc Tigh , who was also the class vale-dictorian.

In his address to the graduates , Father Malone reviewed the 1974 academic year and discussed the im-pending merger with Sir George Williams saying that "an institution which carries within its ethos the best of Sir George Williams University and the best of Loyola College cannot fail to enrich the quality of education not only in Quebec, but also through-out this magnificent land of ours" .

Father Malone thanked teaching and administrative staff for their con-tributions during his 15 year term of office and added that he is leaving his post with many happy memories, and with the sense that, whatever the frustrations, the task of presidency has been a meaningful use of these 15 years. "

Barbara Frum, award-winning co-host of CBC's As It Happens, chal -lenged students both male and female to become feminists and not to be deceived by the illusions of reform. Mrs. Frum noted that even with today's revolution female gradu-ates would probably notachieve much more than those of her 1959 gradu-ating class because sex bias in hiring and discrimination in promoting are still widespread and women are for the most part excluded from positions of power in government, industry, labour and in the professions.

THE SPECIAL FUND DRAW The Annual SPECIAL FUND DRAW

will be held on September 9, 1974. In his speech al the An nual Gen-

eral Meeting, Ron Boucher '53, Presi-dent of the Association stated: " I be-lieve our challenge in 74-75 wi ll be our ability to survive, we won't exist unless we can prove that we deserve the right to go on ."

Survival req uires an inflow offunds to finance programs and activities. The chief source is the SPECIAL FUND DRAW. Unless the SPECIAL FUND DRAW is successful, Alumni sponsored events will slowly grind lo a halt, he said. Undoubtedly the SPECIAL

FUND DRAW is one of the most importan t undertakings of the Associa-tion this year. If it fails, so in due course will the Association.

All members of the Association are urged to participate in the DRAW. Sell tickets , buy tickets , urge relatives, friends, and neighbours to get in -volved . Your efforts will chart the future course of the Association.

Frank McNally Jr. '68, Secretary of the Association, has been appointed by Ron Boucher as Chairman of the SPECIAL FUND DRAW. Frank can be reached by phone - business: 878-1581 local 323; residence 486-7067.
