E OF THE PRESIDENT

I have the honour to submit the annual report of Loyola College for 1967/8. In the centennial year of Canada's Confedera­tion and during Expo '67, the College was privileged to partici­pate in a number of events and to join in various studies that made our heritage in Quebec and Canada more meaningful and chal­lenging.

It should be noted that our financial position has con­tinued to be acutely painful despite very good support from the general public, protracted negotiations with government about a more equitable share of both capital and operating grants, and considerable austerity even in essential academic requirements. Loyola would be wanting in gratitude if this report failed to recall the exceptional understanding, accorded by lending insti­tutions and other creditors over a lengthy period beyond the cus­tomary time of grace.

In the body of this report a number of changes are noted both in administrative and academic organization of the College. Most notable are the creation of the post of Vice-Presi­dent, Academic and Vice-President, Administration, the evolution of a set of statutes for the Board of Governors (still to be adopted), and the inclusion of three students to elective seats on the Senate. Titese changes, besides being a part of the changing times, clearly reflect the determination at Loyola to deal with the colleges rapid growth, with interdependence between colleges and the general pub­lic, and to give increasing responsibility to faculty and students for decision-making on campus. It may, perhaps, be noted that the participation of facu.lty and students, while energetic and respon­sible, is not directed sharply at those elements in academic methods and aims which in their judgment, are open to question and change. Titis observation does not, however, lessen the welcome which the College offers, nor discount the value to be expected from public participation of all and , in particular, students.

During the year under report, a new classroom building, the W.F.X. Bryan building, was officially opened. Besides being something of a miracle in planning and construction (thanks to Cinq-Mars and Desmarais architects and Longpr~ Ltd. contractors and their various collaborators), this new edifice provides some much-needed instructional space and modern, specialized facili­ties for the burgeoning department of Communication Arts.

In concluding this brief introduction, I wish to acknow­ledge our many obligations to the Board of Governors for their advice and support. In particular, I express to faculty on behalf of the whole Loyola family our warm appreciation for their loyalty and understanding in a trying period of financial and political uncertainty. Finally, to the students and non-academic staff, to our many benefactors and well-wishers, I express for Loyola gratitude and best wishes.

REPORT OF THE ACADEMIC VICE-PRESIDENT

During 1967-1968, the Office of Dean of Studies was changed to Academic Vice President and the associate deans were appointed deans of their Faculty. In March 1968, revised and enlarged terms of ref­erence for the Academic Vice President and Deans were formulated and are to be used for some time on a trial basis. Study was started on the terms of reference for Chairmen of Departments but are not yet completed.

The academic year started late so that students could work as long as possible at Expo. The late start,combined ~1th a study week at the end of January,made the academic year extremely short. Some students, particularly freshmen, found it difficult to adjust to this shortened yes:r which next year will revert to normal proportions.

Faoulty attention was given to problems associated with grading, promotion, interdisciplinary programs and undergraduate teaching. Spec­ific recolllll18ndations will undoubtedly be made to Senate in the coming year as a result of this attentiono Experimentation has been taking place at Loyola in greater use of tutorials, seminars and interdiscip­linary courses. As the budget permits the use of these teaching tech­niques will be increased.

FRESHMEN - Mr. Wo Cozens continued his able coordination of special programs for Freshmen. An extensive orientation program was developed, lectures on study habits were presented and seventy-four faculty members participated in the Student Advisory Program. Effective direction and counselling of Freshmen is essential in assisting these students to make the necessary adjustments to a university program.

COUNSELLING - The Guidance Center, under the direction of Mr. J. Hale, provided counselling to nearly one-sixth of the student body and continued to work closely with faculty and the academic administration.

An increasing number of faculty members have gained recognition for their research and study through publication of articles and books. In addition the list of awards to students has also increased. Of particular interest are the Rhodes Scholarship awarded to history graduate Robert Calderisi and a major National Research Council fellow­ship to Terrence Cherry.

Three students were elected to Senate for the first time. A joint Senate - Board of Governors - Students - Administration committee was formed to study reorganization of the Board of Governors and dev­elop statutes clearly defining its responsibilities.

In closing, I wish. to thank Mr. H. Charbonneau for his devoted efforts as Director of the Evening Division. He has moved from Loyola. to another university position.

REPORT OF THE VICE PRESIDENT 1 - ADMINISTRATION

In addition to the financial statements found in a later section of this report, administrative departments which support the academic operation and development of Loyola are included in the report for the first tillle.

BOOKSTORE

This department serves the entire college community by stocking all required texts, a wide range of supplies and a large self-service paperback reference section containing over six thousand titleso

Its facilities have expanded three-fold in the last year with emphasis on the self-service paperback operation and a complete stock of stationery items.

DATE CENTRE

The college has an IBM computer 'With 20,000 locations of memory and punched card input/output and also a Univac 9200 computer with 8,192 positions of :memory, 400 card per minute reader, 250 line per minute printer, and 75 - 200 card per minute puncho Also attached is a communications package enabling a Loyola-Computel System Ltd. con­nection for larger computing job requirements.

A teletype terminal is connected to McGill University's IBM 360/50 RAX conTersational :mode system. Four 026 Key-punch :machines, a plotting facility, and thirteen Friden Model 132 electronic calculators are also included in the facilities.

21

Page 23: President's Report - Concordia University · REPORT OF THE ACADEMIC VICE-PRESIDENT During 1967-1968, the Office of Dean of Studies was changed to Academic Vice President and the associate

From a small, incoming :mail-sorting area, this department bas grown into a large, internal :mail-handling operation over the last three years. Its integrated services distribute and pick up all in­ternal :mail three times daily and process all incoming and outgoing mail for the entire college.

In addition to handling :mail, this department offers an exten­sive photocopy service.

PERSONNEL

The year 1967-68 saw the inauguration of a Personnel Department at Loyola. Time was spent in up-dating and improving personnel files .and records as well as systas of recruiting and placement.

While organization and orientation were the :major preoccupations of the year, other considerations were weighed: 1) A wage survey and wage adjustment for all hourly paid staff, more competitive with sim­ilar institutions elsewhere; 2) Reduction of working hours of cleaning and· cafeteria staffs, more in line with working conditions at other institutions, 3) Standardisation o! vacation allowances for hourly paid and s&laried staff.

PHYSICAL PLANT

This busy department handles an average of thirty-five to firty­tive work orders daily for maintenance, alterations, renovations, or moving a variety of objects. The cleaning section provides regular house-keeping services for all eighteen college-owned buildings, on or off campus. The Grounds section handles snow removal, landscaping, grass-cutting and up-keep of vehicles.

SOile of the major renovations carried out during the course of the year include the co~plete remodelling of the 6937 part of the Cen­tennial Building, construction of offices in the Science Bu.1.lding,

22

Page 24: President's Report - Concordia University · REPORT OF THE ACADEMIC VICE-PRESIDENT During 1967-1968, the Office of Dean of Studies was changed to Academic Vice President and the associate

major renovations in the Bryan Building and Central Building, reloca­tion or the Bookstore facilities and preparation of office space through­out the whole campus.

In the course of the year, capital additions included the Bryan Building, new boilers, new electrical sub-station and reorganization ot existing s_pace to increase the number of classrooms by eleven.

PRINTING

This operation uses the latest offset duplicating equipment and has expanded its services to the administrative and academic community oonsiderab!Jr in the last two years. The offset duplicating process is used because of its low cost, versatility and speed.

The printshop reproduces books, professors• notes, examinations, schedules, bulletins, transcripts and all letterheads and forms for administrative and academic departments.

PURCHASING

Functioning as a liaison between the college and outside suppliers, this department obtains quotations and prices, literature and product information, :maintaining a library or catalogues !or selection of pro­ducts in all :markets.

It assists in the control or all capital expenditures. It provides continuous!Jr up-<iated information on budgetary approvals, orders placed and invoices received pertinent to each capital expenditure account.

The central purchasing system is designed to ensure the orderly now of :material and to reduce to a min1mu:m the time spent by depart­ment heads in :zu.tters or purchasing.

SECURITY

The number of officers in the campus security force has doubled since 1966/67 enabling better attention to the multiple security tasks. The securing 0£ buildings, checking parking permits, watching traffic flow, inspections of buildings on rounds and helping to restore art­icles lost or found have all contributed to efficient operations at Loyola.

REPORT OF THE FACULTY OF ARTS

The Faculty of Arts continues to be the largest on the campus. Statistics ma.de available in December 1967 show that the Faculty has increased by 425% since 1961.

Arts l Arts 11 Arts 111 Arts lV Total Increase over Erevious z.ear

1967-68 495 536 395 275 1701 171,

1962-63 189 131 97 100 517 29%

1961-62 136 111 109 45 401

Neither the quality of teaching or curriculum has suffered during the rapid growth period. The variety of courses has more than tripled and the number of faculty members has now reached over one hundred and twenty from the thirty-one in 1961-62.

The fine work of the Faculty in teaching, research and writing continued and many Faculty members acted as consultants, speakers and panelists in addition to their responsibilities at Loyola. Outstanding teaching and re~earch by Faculty was recognized through awards, grants and fellowships and some members continued their studies on sabbatical and special leaves of absence.

The Communication Arts Department established a Film Lending Library in cooperation with the National Film Board with an initial collection of 140 films. It also sponsored a Western Film Festival, a special film program on Marshall McLuhan and an Institute on the Teaching of High School Religion. Communication Arts students, dir­ected by Dr. Malik, completed a research project on Expo '67 and others worked with Prof. Gagnon on a 16mm. film.

The Economics Department held its Third Annual Symposium with. the theme "Canada and the Gold Crisis". Distinguished participants included Novella Richards (Eastern Caribbean Commission), Dr. Moin Baquai (Pakistan Planning Commission), Prof. Douglas Dows (Cornell) and Jorge Bravo (InternationalBank for Reconstruction and Develop­ment). Economics professors ~ontinued to support the Economics Honor Society as guest speakers and panelists.

The English Department sponsored its annual Lahey Lecture with a presentation by Profo William Alfred (Harvard) on Beckett's Waiting for Godot for English professors of all the colleges and universities in Quebec.

26

Page 28: President's Report - Concordia University · REPORT OF THE ACADEMIC VICE-PRESIDENT During 1967-1968, the Office of Dean of Studies was changed to Academic Vice President and the associate

First year English students wrote, edited, designed and pro­duced the art work in "Book: poetry and prose by the students of english. 101" with some advice from Prof. Barbara Jack.

The French Studies Department installed a second language laboratory. Modern Languages will have its olnl chair.man next year and an improved and expanded curriculum with courses in Russian and linguistics being offered for the first time.

The Political Science Department continued its active life outside the classroom, sponsoring many public lectures by guest speakers., The Department pla .s to concentrate on an expansion of its Canadian studies program in the coming year.

The Sociology Department also invited guest speakers to ad­dress well attended groups on the campus.

The Fourth .Annual Contemporary Theology Institute was sponsored by the Theology Department under the chairmanship of Rev. E. O'Brien, S.J. Eminent theological scholars participated in the discussions on "New Ways in Theological Ethics."

Loyola is one of the Montreal regional representatives on a .panel of the Consultation of Theological Education in Canada being conducted by the Ecumenical Institute of Canada.,

Contact has been made with the Montreal Catholic School Commission to discuss pl.ans for meeting the needs of teachers of religion.

The Center for African Studies is now separated from the History Department under its first director, Dr. Donald Savage.

A Department for Interdisciplinary Studies was approved by Senate with the Dean of Arts as Chairman. This will allow for the cross appointment of faculty members anddevelopment of interdisciplinary courses. The first of these, a course in Social Change will start in the next academic year.

Space for classrooms, labs and general use continues to be a serious problem. The Bryan Building opened with 17 classrooms in November 1967, but space is still at a premium and far from adequate.

The possibility that Loyola might be expected to house some of the English CEX:iEP (Coll\ge d'Enseignement General et Professionnel) students has necessitated a re-examination of plans for the ruture within the framework of this new provincial education pl.an. This examination has fostered closer contact between Loyola and other colleges and universities in the province as well as with the authorities in the Department of F.ducation~ In addition, many faculty members

have participated in th.e preparation and e.xam.ination o! _proposed CIDEP ourriculum.

The coming year should see th.e acceptance o! terms of reference !or Department Chairmen, new interdisciplinary courses, increased awareness by- faculty of new possibilities in the areas of curriculum, teaching and ad:m1n1stration and greater participation b;r students in academic affairs at all levels.

REPORT OF THE FACULTY OF COMMERCE

During the 1967-68 acadElllic year, the Faculty or Commerce by its rapid growth. became the second largest English-speaking Faculty or Commerce in Montreal. Although the F.conomics Department is considered to be part or the Faculty or Arts, it has co-operated fully in our pro­gram which includes an honours and major in Economics. In this respect, appreciation should be voiced to the other disciplines that haTe rendered outstanding services to the Faculty.

PERSONNEL

ACCOUNTANCY DEPARTMENT: Professor R. L. McGraw, Chairman.

In addition to the four .tall-time professors, the Department has eleven Chartered Accountants as instructors in the Day and Evening Divisions. Two additional rul.1-time teachers have been hired for the coming ;rear.

With the addition of two tull.-time faculty members, the strength of this Department is now seven. This increase will. racili ta te programme plAnning or courses in Control, Production, Human Relations, Finance, Investment Management, Operations Research, Marketing and Marketing Research.

CURRICULUM

Curriculum underwent constant revision, bearing in mind new tech­nological changes and the expansion or Commerce programmes throughout North .America. In the United States, one out of everr !our students is participating in a Oammerce programme while in Canada the ratio is one out or seventeen.

NEW MAJOR IN BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

The Department has attracted a llell qualif'i.ed faculty, ~tnany of whom are specialists. A:n increasing number o! Commerce students are being attracted to this new Department.

COMMERCE STUDENTS ASSOCIATION OF LOYOLA

In 1967-68 this student society shOlled leadership in extra­curricular activities and again received the L~M.S.A. Trophy for the outstanding association on c~pus • .Among the outstanding activities of this grou,p during the past year were:

BUSINESS EXPOSrrION (Careers D~y)

COMMERCE NEWS PUBLICATION

GRADUATE »iPLOIMENT ANNUAL

INVESTMENT CLUB

POLICY CHANGES DURING THE YEAR

1) With the approval of Senate, the Faculty or Commerce .further reduced compulsory courses. It now requires a minimum of

two courses in Theology and two in Philosophy.

2) The grading ,procedure was changed to conform to that or the Faculty o! Arts. This change will g~eatly assist in the standardization and effici.ency of the Faculty of Commerceo

3) Effective in 1968-69, supplemental examinations will be elim­inated in all disciplines Ul'ider the control of the Faculty.

4) All f'ull-time members of the Faculty of Commerce are now located in the Cloran Building, Sherbrooke Street West.

CONCLUSION

This past year has been very challenging to the Faculty. Great strides were made in all spheres of educationo Considering that this faculty has been in existence for only eighteen years, its ~pact has certainly been felt on the campus of Loyola of Montreal.

L. Bessner, Dean of Commerce.

REPORT OF THE FACULTY OF ENGINEERING

STUDENT AFFAIRS

1. Students were enrolled in about equal numbers in Years One, Two and Three. The curricula of these classes was effectively the same as that of the new Engineering Program to be introduced in Sept­ember 1968.

The promotion rate in the final examination was about 9CYfi in each of the three classes.

2. The Academic Awards night was held in October at which those students who had transferred to other engineering schools at the end of the Third Year were guests of the Engineering Undergraduate Society and its memberso

3o The Engineering Undergraduate Society held a buffet lunch in March. Students, staff of the Faculty, and Deans and Chairmen from other Faculties were warmly addressed by\the President.

STAFF

Messrs. Kaufman and Krantzberg have been granted leaves of absence for 1968-69 to study for advanced degrees.

Mr. S. A. Neilson has been promoted to Assistant Professor.

Professor Kubina was appointed Chairman of the Computing Center Committee to replace Doctor T. Nogrady of Chemistry who left on leave of absence in February.

Mrs. B. Moore, Secretary of the Faculty, resigned in January due to ill health. She was indefatigable in helping to carry out the pl.ans of the staff, a confidant of the students and a right-arm to the Dean. She has now recovered a great measure of her vigor. Mrs. Mo Hurtubise who has replaced her is carrying on in the same tradition as Mrs. Moore and Mrs. Parke.

SPACE

The junior draughting room was moved to the ground floor of the Central Building; The class-rooms re:rua.ining in that area are to be converted to an additional Electronics Laboratory and a Soils Mechanics Laboratoryo Effectively, the whole ground floor has been assigned to Engineering and all of its facilities are now consolidated there.

DONORS

M:r. A. K. Velan of Velan Engineering, a Governor of Loyola has undertaken to present personally a course in the Planning and Technol­ogy of Production in Manufacturing which will provide students with a first-hand introduction to space-age industry.

PROGRAM

With the approval of Senate, Loyola will offer the first four year of a six-year program in engineering, culminating in the award of a Master's Degree. Those completing Loyola's portion of the program will be awarded a B.Sc. While the program then continues for two more years in another engineering school, those who do not choose to continue will be prepared to enter industry at a technological level just short of professional. Even the latter will be within the reach of those who do not go on to graduate school, :Provided they -write two or three examinations of the Provincial licensing bodies.

Considerable flexibility is built into the new progrs.m. -The options offered are, Chemical, Civil (Design), Electrical (Design) Electrical (Computation), Mechanical (Design), Mechanical (Industrial), Mechanical (Administration). Fortunately, since many existing courses in other Faculities will be utilized, now staff requirements will be held down. Moreover, much of the capital equipment for the purely engineering courses is already owned by the Faculty, and '·-hence here too, expense has been minimized.

Since the staff has been planning this program for several years and introducing it in the lower years during that time, it will be possible to commence all four years of it simultaneously in September 1968.

G. W. Joly, Dean of Engineeringo

Freshmen in common science program 294

The Science Faculty graduated one hundred and eight students on June 1st, 1968; seven of these received their instruction in the Evening Division.

Mr. Terrence Cherry, Department of Physics, was awarded the coveted Centennial Scholarship of the National Research Councilo Miss Anne Ryan won top honours in Chemistry.

At the time of writing, 22 students have been accepted by various universities for advanced studies and about 15 others are considering graduate work.

The Science students were active during the year in various student societies. For example, Biology students have both a pre~medical frater­nity (Phi Lambda Rho) and a pre-medical, pre-dental society (PMPD); the Chemistry students a chapter of the Chemical Institute of Canada.

CURRICULUM

The Biology-Chemistry major, designed primarily as a pre-medical course, is being phased out. The sophomore cl.ass of this course (both Arts and Science) was given for the last time this year. The Biology major, which will include students intending to enter the medical profession, will begin next year for second year students. The Biology half course (an elective) given to freshmen for the first time this year will be helpful to students intending to follow the biology majoro

The other half course electives in freshman are Geotechnical Science and Mathematics. The Faculty felt that these second term electives would assist the Department of Biology and Geotechnical Science to introduce their disciplines to interested students.

The current year saw the introduction of General courses in several departments of the Science Faculty as approved by Senate. This .Program offers a seven course concentration in a particular discipline and yet are less rigorous than the corresponding Major progr&11. Departments such as Chemistry, introduce them simultaneously in each of the three upper years; other departments decided to begin the courses on a progressive basis.

In previous years, our students registered in Geotechnical Science ~ere re~uired to attend the McGill Field School which was held in May at Sutton, Quebec. This year the Geophysics Field School and the Geology Field School were conducted by Loyola at Knowlton, Quebec.

FACULTY

Ten new members were added to the Science staff last year; this number included five assistant professors, four lecturers and one senior Laboratory Assistant.

The staff in the Science Faculty now stands as foll~sz

SPECIAL ACTIVITJES OF STUDENTS AND STAFF

The Students conducted an interesting "0.pen House" in March. All departments were involved and a real e!!ort was made to attract the parents and friends of the students as well as the general public.

The Chemistry Department sponsored a special symposium on "Infor­mation Retrieval" in April under the active Chairmanship o! Drs. G. J. Trudel and R. Zienius. The symposium was conducted by Mr. J. W. Cherry of Imperial Oil Limited, Calgary, Alberta, and was attended by 40 selected applicants on a restricted basis.

SPACE

The Geotechnical Science Department has opened a new microscope lab, with a capacity o.r 11 students, in the Bryan Building. They have converted their General Utility Lab to a Mineralogy laboratory with facilities for 14 students.

The Biology Department has been assigned space in the Bryan Building including an Audio Visual Lecture Theatre, two laboratories, equipment roams and offices.

The former faculty lounge below the Science Library has been divided into faculty o.fficeso

It should be noted that in certain areas the Drummond Science Building is becoming crowded; this is particularly true for the Biology Department and for office and research apace for staff.

REPORT OF THE EVENING DIVISION

On January 3rd, 1968, Mr. H. Charbonneau, the former Director, asslllll.ed new duties as Directeur, Promotion Culturelle at the Universite de Montreal and Douglas J. Potvin was appointed Director of the Evening Division of Loyola College. New procedures for upgrading the quality of instruction were introduced and pl.ans formulated for the introduc­tion of new courses with the implementation of a promotional campaign aimed at greater involvement of the Evening Division in the educational requirements of the total community.

The staff - in addition to the Director - includes six f"\tll time and two part time personnel. Office hours were extended so that a staff member is always available until 9:00 p.m. on weekdays for con­sultation with students.

New application forms were developed so that more efficient use of the Computing Centre could be ma.de. Students registering for the Summer Session 168 will use these application forms for the first time. Eventually all information will be programmed and readily available through the computer. A new registration form bas also been printed. As a result, all infol"'lll8.tion regarding the student will be on the application form and academic information on ·the registration form. Registration procedures will be expedited as a result of the new forms. Work is underway on the revision of other forms to achieve more efficient handling of routine information.

Measures were taken to ensure greater responsibility on the part of professors with respect to attendance at cl.ass. There was some evidence that students were not being notifiei when their cl.ass was cancelled, with the result that morale among the students was low. Arrangements were made with Radio Station C.J.A.D. to announce all cancelled cl.asses at 5t45 p.m. each evening. The number of ·cancelled classes decreased remarkably and the Evening Division received inesti­mable advertising value from these announcements. For the Summer Session, all faculty appointments were approved by Department Chairmen. By this method, ·the quality of teaching should maintain the excellence to which the students are accustomed.

Six non-credit courses were scheduled for the Summer Session •68. The introduction of these courses is the first phase in the general development of a non-deg:J.l'ee program. There is a very strong feDling that the Evening Division can provide more educational services to the total community than it has been doing in the past. In-service courses for teachers, business personnel and techicians have already been planned. Courses for laymen whose interest lies in a specific subject such as public speaking, debating, journalism, art, music, etd. have been investigated. Plans have been completed to provide off-cam,pus courses to teachers and nurses.

36

Page 38: President's Report - Concordia University · REPORT OF THE ACADEMIC VICE-PRESIDENT During 1967-1968, the Office of Dean of Studies was changed to Academic Vice President and the associate

With the announcement by McGill University of the inauguration of a Department of Continuing :Education, further responsibilities are placed upon the Evening Division for providing a complete curriculum. A greater amount of promotion through advertising and personal contact will be necessary to foster the growth of the Evening Division. While expanding the non~redit courses, the degree program must be consolidated and maintained.

During the past year, in the Faculty of Arts, Majors were offered in Economics and Political Science and a Major in 'History will be offered, beginning in the 1968 Summer Session. In the Faculty of Com­merce, Majors are offered in Accounting, Business and Economicso The new program in Science was introduced and the current program will be phased out during the 1968 Summer Session.

A classification of Special Students was approved by the Evening Division Committee to strenghten the academic requirements for Qual.1.f'y­ing Students and provide a category for those who do not meet the re­quirements for a Qualifying Student. The intention is to classify students as "Qualifying" if they require only a short time to meet all degree status requirements and to provide a longer period of adjustment for those who are on probation. When a student cannot meet the re­quirements of a Probationary Student, then be must withdraw from the Evening Division.

By definitioni

Probationary Students are those whose academic background in­dicates that a more prolonged period of serious study is necessary before degree status is granted. Probationary Students will be changed to degree status when 12 fUll oredits are amassed after having registered in no more than 17 courses o~ a~er an appeal to the Evening Division Committee. Qualifying Students are those who intend to proceed to a degree but who, at the time of registration, do not meet all of the ad­mission requirements. Qualifying Students will be changed to degree students when 5 of the first 6 courses for which they register have been passed and they will receive credit for all courses successfUlly. completed. Qualitying Students ms.y be changed to Probationary Students if they do not pass 4 of the first 6 courses for which they register.

A Scholarship and Bursary Committee was formed and meetings were held to formulate plans for its immediate implementation. The proposal was initiated by the Evening Division Students• Council and $300.00 was provided for scholarships and bursarieso It was further suggested by the Executive of the Students• Council that a one .dollar activity fee be charged to each student during the Summer Session and that this total amount be made available for scholarships and bursaries. A committee consist~ng of the President of the Students• Council, the Dean of Students, one professor from the part-time Evening Faculty, one pro­fessor from the fUll-time faculty, one representative from the Alumni

Association and the Director of the Evening Division met and agreed upon the general regulations for providing scholarships and bursaries. The pro.posals will be implemented immediately and the first scholar­shi.ps and bursaries will be of!ered during the 1968 Summer Session.

REPORT OF THE RIDISTRAR

Mr. John Noonan, BoSc. was appointed Registrar 1m May 1967 to re.place Rev. G. W. Tait, S.J. who was granted leave of absence for further study. Prior to his appointment, Mr. Noonan had served as Assistant Registrar.

The increasing demand for information about Loyola and about higher education in general led to the appointment of Mr. Mark Allen and Mr. David Mu.llington to expand the liaison program between Loyola and the Montreal area high sch.cols as well as meet th.a increased de­mands placed on the Admissions Office.

rnTERNAL ORGANIZATION

In order to maintain a high level of services to th.a rapidly growing Loyola Community,th.e Registrar's Office recognized the need to utilize more fully the experience and competence of its staff. In April, 1968 a Staff Committee was formed and charged with the res­ponsibility of recommending office policy and procedures to the Registrar. The members of the Committee will be rotated periodically in order to give each employee the opportunity to participate in the planning and decision-making processes.

COMMUNICATIOWAND GROWXH

Increased growth in terms of enrolment and buildings has made it impossible to communicate vital information to students via the Registrar's bulletin board. With. th.e co-operation of the editor-in­chief of ''Loyola News 11

, the Registrar• s Office released several bulletins through th.a "News". The results warrant further exploration in this area.

ADMISSIONS

The .Admissions Office reported that as of March 1, 1968, the number of applications for admission to Loyola Col1ege had doubled that of the same date in the previous year. This was due in large measure to the early and successful completion of the high school visits programme by Admissions Office personnel and the early distribution of application' forms, brochures and posterso The increased interest of the Montreal Community in Loyola College was undoubtedly a contributing factor.

The large number of high school graduates who join the labour force rather than enter university prompted the Admissions Office, with the co-operation of the Evening Division, to make Loyola College better known within the industrial community. Letters were sent to

manufacturing, financial and serTi.ce institutions 1n the Montreal area outlining a programme called "Opportunities in Higher :Educa­tion". Approximatel.;r !our hundred posters illustrating the opportun­ities &Tail.able at Loyola College to potential students were distri­buted to !irms which had agreed to cooperate in this e!fort. The response tram the industrial community was greater than anticipated and leads us to believe that this project should be continued.

J. W. Noonan, Registrar

REPORT OF THE CHAIRMAN OF THE LIBRARY BOARD

The problems and strains of growth of the Library during the year 1967-68 are a reflection of th.e demands which the development of Loyola of Montreal places on what has been described as "the heart of the University". One obvious strain derives, of course, from the growing student enrolment and th.e necessary increase in teaching staff, n~ departments and areas of research leading to a parallel demand for more library materials. But this increase in student population is only a part of th.e problem facing library development. In the past under­graduate instruction was supported mainly by text~books bought by the students,supplemented by a College Library consisting of standard works and a collection of reference books. This type of library has become decreasingly applicable to university education in an age of rapid change when there has been an information explosion in many fields of knowledge. New teaching methods require th.e student to undertake more independent study and research. and the standard text-book used as a method to convey information has been replaced by reading lists of material which the student can only obtain in the Library.

The building of the Vanier Library in 1964 and the yearly increase in the size of the Library Budget since that date are a recognition of the changing role of the Library and represent an attempt to make up lost ground in library developmento In 1966-67 th.e total library expenditure was $282,000 with. $114,000 allocated for books and journals. The corresponding amounts for 1967-68 were $362,093 and $154,227. Nevertheless, this increase did not match the recommendation of the Canadian Association of College and Universitf Libraries (C.ACoU.L.)._ in their brief to the Bladen Commission (1964): that "10% of the in­stitutional operating budget be considered a minimum for the ordinary operation and development of established libraries"o In the most recent examination of Canadian libraries by Robert B. Downs, Resources of Can­adian Academic and Research Libraries 1967, it was stated, "A College or university library which spends less than $150 per capita, based on full­time student enrolment, is probably receiving substandard support." Loyola's expected per capita expenditure did not reach this figure in 1967-68 and its actual per capita expenditure will probably be lower than those of the past two years. The sudden financial crisis faced by Loyola in December 1967 re_q_uired a .restriction on s_pend.ing for library acquisitions which had not been lifted at the time of writing this Report. This check on library growth at a time when new courses and areas of studies were being introduced meant that much. of the library material necessary was not available for teaching purposes. Clearly, this type of financial restriction can only be deplored for it places an unnecessary burden on the teaching staff and students and prevents the steady growth of library facilities.

One of the major tasks of the Library Board is to assist the Librarian in th.e pre_paration of the Book Budget for the ·forthcoming year, using th.a information supplied by the departmental heads and the Librarian.

When this Budget has been approved by the College authorities, it is the Board's rasponsibility to allocate to each department its portion of the Budget. The first task has been completed by the Board but until the ex­tent of Government operating support has been announced, the amount of money available for book and journal purchases in 1968-69 cannot be det­ermined. This financial uncertainty has prevented any degree of planning for the purchase of books and journals in the next academic year and places in jeopardy new areas of study and library growth. It is to be hoped that the present temporary financial situation will soon be settled and the Library will be able to continue its past pattern of gro-..rth so essential in the development of Loyola of Montreal. This rather bleak picture of the Library in 1967-68 does have some shafts of light. In 1965 a Report of the University Libr~ry Standards Committee (C.A.C.U.L.) suggested that 100,000 volumes should be regarded as a minimum for the support of under­graduate education. In May 1968, the Loyola Library collection reached 108,000 volumes - a tribute to the past pattern of growth mentioned earlier in my Report. ·

During February 1968 the Library Board held its first open meeting to which all faculty members were invited. The purpose of the meeting was to promote an exchange of ideas and problems between the Librarians, Board and teaching staff. The major issue raised at the meeting was the length of time between the ordering of books by faculty and the arrival of the books on the Library shelves. The average length of time at Loyola is between 2 to 6 months and this compares favourably with other institut­ional libraries. This time-lag has been a constant source of dissatisfac­tion among faculty members and efforts have been made by the library staff to speed-up the process. Department Heads designing new courses should be awars of this time-lag and plan their book orders so that the ordering department of the Library can deal with the orders some months before the beginning of the new academic year.

It is regrettable that this year has been a difficult one for the Library but it should be recognized that the size and quality of its col­lection has changed appreciably over the part four years. Assuming the Library receives the attention and financial support that has been a feature of the development of Loyola in the recent past, there is every reason to be optimistic about its ability to serve the academic needs of both faculty and students in the future.

REPORT OF THE CHIEF LEBRARIAN

GROWTH OF THE COLLECTION

During the academic year 1967-68, acquisitions and girts amounted to approx:1.»tely 14,500 volumes. This compares favourably with the 13,000 volumes acquired in year 1966-67. This rate or growth bas been achieved by processing about 2,000 volumes of gifts accumulated in previous years.

filhe number of additional volumes made availAble for use amounted to a,pprox:1.»tely 17,000. This includes microfilm copies of early English books which are not accessioned separately. It also includes previously accessioned ms.terial which had been included in the collec­tion more than five years ago but had not been completely processed.

The actual number of new books purchased in 1967-68 was less than in the previous year, due to financial difficulties. These difficulties prevented the c~plete utilization of the book budget.

PUBLIC SERVICES

(a) ORIENTATION PROGRAM

The orientation program of the previous years continued. It is hoped that the Library Handbook will be again revised in the coming academic year. The New Student Library Card issued to the students proved to be highly successf'ul. It helped to aontrol circulation pro­cedures and was very helpf'ul in the enforcement of discipline.

(b) DISCIPLINE

Student disci.pline ~roved considerably c~pared to the previous year. The altered shelving arrangement in the stack area contributed considerably to more efficient supervision. The suspension of' library priviliges proved to be an effective deterrent in disciplinary cases. Co-operation with faculty members and student leaders also had a mod~rating effect on the student this year. However, in spite of the improved situation the results could only be called "tolerable". The lArge number of lectures and meeting held in the library made it very difficult to achieve a proper "library atmosphere."

(c) cmcULATION DEPARTMENT

Compared with the previous year, circulation increased l~ :from 53,000 books in 1966-67 to 63,000 books 1n 1967-68. The average book

42

Page 51: President's Report - Concordia University · REPORT OF THE ACADEMIC VICE-PRESIDENT During 1967-1968, the Office of Dean of Studies was changed to Academic Vice President and the associate

circulation per student increased only slightly (19.4 in 1966-67)­(20.0 in 1967-68). Due to shortage of staff the Department experienced considerable difficulties during the year. It is hoped that suggested additions to the staff will alleViate these difficulties.

(d) REFER.ENCE DEPARTMENT

In September 1967, the De.partment published the first issue of Reference Works in the Geor es P. Vanier Li.bra as of Ju 1 6 i

An Al habetical Author Title Biblio ra with Author ' F.ditor Title Subject Index. At the end of the Academic year Supplement A: August 1967 to April 1968 was published which. incorporated the 552 new titles acquired during )<the school year. This publication proved to be very popular on the c~puso During the year interlibrary loans increased 32i from 680 in 1966-67 to 900 in 1967-68. This amounts to four requests on any working day. The Department assembled displays on the followingi

Sa.int Patrick

Rt. Hono Vincent Massey

Rt. Hon. Georges Philias Vanier

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Cecil Day-Lewis (newly appointed Poet Laureate)

Tibet

Canadian Publications purchased under the Centennial Fund.

Flag of Saint George

Publications of Loyola Faculty, a permanent display, continued to be very popular.

At the beginning of the academic year the Department conducted a seminar on library research for advanced philosophy students.

TECHNICAL SERVICES

(a) ORDER DEPARTMENT

All orders requested by the faculty have been processedo However, many of the orders will be sent out to the dealers only in the 1968-69 fiscal year, owing to financial difficulties.

(b) CATALOGUING DEPARTMENT

Compared with the previous year, the number of volumes catalogued in 1967-68 increased 30% to 17,000 books. About 60% of the D•.Arcy McGee collection has been catalogued and made available for use.

43

Page 52: President's Report - Concordia University · REPORT OF THE ACADEMIC VICE-PRESIDENT During 1967-1968, the Office of Dean of Studies was changed to Academic Vice President and the associate

(c) SERIALS DEPARTMENT

During the year a complete holding Jist of serial publications has been compiled by the Department.

(d) BINDING

In 1967-68, 3,000 volumes of serials have been bound which is an increase of 28% over the previous year. About 3,000 paperbacks were sent for permabinding. The physical condition of books and period­icals received continues high priority.

SCIENCE LIBRARY

The critical shortage of study and shelf space was further aggrav­ated by the loss of a storage room in the basement. Back issues of serials of many titles had to be moved to the main Jibrary in order to alleviate the s_pace situation. This move will be detrimental to the general effic­iency of the Science Library.

GIFrS

Numerous gi~s were received by the Jibrary in 1967-68 for which grateful acknowledgements are tendered. The generous donors are too numerous to mention. However, a few of the most noteworthy are : T.P. Slattery, Q.C. who donated a bronze plaque of Thomas D'Arcy McGee and various other holdings to the D•Arcy McGee Room, and two prominent Jewish Organizations, namely: Hadassah-Wizo Organization of Canada, and the Jewish Chatauqua Society.

EVENTS

During the year the Library _participated in the preparation of the Downs Report.

The Chief Librarian attended the "Libraries for Tomorrow" Con­ference in Montreal.

The Reference Librarian attended a "Conference on Automation" sponsored by the University of Montreal.

The graduating class from the Sch.oc,l of Library Science at the Univer~ity of ottawa visited the Library and was addressed by the Chief Librarian.

REPORT OF THE DEAN OF STUDENTS

Student activism, if understood as greater participation in the total life of university, was eminently present on the Loyola campus. The past student government, through outstanding leadership and nego­tiations, gained representation on the college Senate, increased re­presentation on ·the Committee of Student Life, and almost every other committee and council that affected the academic and non-academic life of the student.

At no time did the administration and the students approach any­thing that resembled confrontation. In the firing of staff members the students were consulted and incoming personnel were in fact interviewed by student groups. This, while time consuming, proved highly successful. The greatest area of concern was in the athletic area where there still remains confusion concerning control of finances and the sponsorship of what is generally considered an educational adjunct. Although we had a rather outstanding effort by the Athletic Department, this area will always remain subject, not only to criticism, to the slings and arrows of self appointed experts whose numbers are legion. The student govern­ment itself, although healthy, experienced considerable econo.mic reverse·; a great deal of which can be attributed to lack of proper financial control. It is becoming clear that the exacting demands of financial control demand the existence of a full time employee. The student body under the brilliant leadership of Graham Nevin prepared a march on the Quebec Government to protest financial inequities which were threatening the very existence of Loyola College. Many people feel reasonably certain that the student participation in this vital problem of finances was chiefly responsible for a speedy and salutary resolution of the problem by the Department of Education.

Great efforts were made by the student government, not only in the planning of a student union, to acquire the necessary finances. The increased enrolment has indicated the need of proper eating and lounge facilities. Present food facilities are not only too small in size, but hardly suitable to the dignity of man.

PERSONNEL,

REPORT OF THE CHAPLAIN

Chaplain: Rev. Johns. O'Neill, S.J.

Assistant Chaplain: Rev. A. Nelson, S.J.

Besides the Chaplains, the following priests offered Mass, and spoke on Sundays,

Very Rev. P.G. Malone, S.J. President

Fr. Konlup

Fr. Sherry, S.J.

Fr. Somfai, s.J.

Fro Ryan, s.J.

Fr. J. O•Brien, s.J.

Fr. Browne, S.J.

Fr. McDonough, s.J.

Fr. Gervais, S.J.

Fro Brzezicki, S.J.

The Chaplains concern themselves mAinly with liturgical !Unctions, the sacramental life of the students, and making themselves available for counselling.

LITURGY

Each day Mass was offered in the Main College Chapel at J.2105. In the beginning Mass was offered at 1:05 p.m. but because of extremely poor attendance, this Mass was dropped and a Mass at 5:00 p.m. at Hingston Hall was added. Daily Mass was offered at 8:00 a.m. at Hingston Hall; and once a week, Mass was offered at the Chapel in the Science Building. Confessions were heard each day during Masses at the College Chapel. Attendance at the College Chapel morning Mass was lower than last year•s. Attendance at the Hingston Hall Masses averaged about ten for each Mass.

Each Sunday, during the school year, a University Mass at 11:15 a.m. was held in the College Chapel. Attendance at these Masses was between 300 and 400 each Sunday. Many outsiders attended although most of the congregation was from the College community - students, faculty and friends of the College. Folk Music, under the direction of Michael Czerny, was included in these Masses and occasionally, Fro Browne with the Loyola Brass Quintet would play before and after Mass. In the latter part of the year, the Scholastics were of considersble assistance with the music.

47

Page 56: President's Report - Concordia University · REPORT OF THE ACADEMIC VICE-PRESIDENT During 1967-1968, the Office of Dean of Studies was changed to Academic Vice President and the associate

Great efforts have been made at these Masses to foster participa­tion by the congregation and to ~ake the Liturgy meaningful to the College community, We admit some success, but still greater effort is needed to make the Liturgy relevant to the students.

On a few occasions, professors took part in the Homily, a practice which we hope to extend to other departments next year. Three professors who spoke this year were Dr. David O'Brien, Dr. Henry Habib and Professors E. Egan.

Voluntary contributions of $1900 at the Masses was distributed to worthy causes in Canada and throughout the World.

A special Mass was celebrated for Armistice Day. On March 12th, Mass was offered for Founder's Day. On November 1st and Dece.mber 8th, holy days of obligation, three Masses were arranged for the students and were well attended.

COUNSELLING

Priests available as Counsellors on Campus were Frs. O'Neill, Nelson, Konlup and Kennedy.

RELIGIOUS ACTIVITJES IN THE COMMUNITY

Members of this Committee were: Messrs, Sawyer, Morgan, Cozens, Frs. O'Neill, Nelson and two students, Kathy O'Connor and Emmett Francoeur. The Committee met once a month during the school year and acted mainly in an advisory capacity to the Chaplain - especially in the area of Liturgy.

LOYOLA CHRISTIAN STUDENTS ASSOCIATION

This is a group of 40 students met each week in groups of five or six to discuss current issues affecting their religious beliefs. This organization is an outgrowth of the Sodality and at present is not solidly structured. During the year this group sponsored the public talks by Dr. Jean Vanier and Dr. Francoeur, and co-sponsored the Seminar on Drugs.

RETREATS

A senior retreat this year took the form of a LIVE-IN. Twenty­two students, men and women, went to St. Jerome for a week-end of

48

Page 57: President's Report - Concordia University · REPORT OF THE ACADEMIC VICE-PRESIDENT During 1967-1968, the Office of Dean of Studies was changed to Academic Vice President and the associate

prayer and discussion under the direction of Fr. Konlup and Fr. O•Neill. Films were used extensively to stimulate discussion at the meeting. It is .felt that this format can be a model !or future retreats and days o! renewal.

Fr. O•Neill also conducted a closed retreat !or members of the Loyola Christian Students Association.

An open discussion on problems of religion under the title o! "Sound-Of'!" was held at Hingston Hall, nth a fair attendanceo During the Church Unity Octave week, an inter-faith seminar was held at the Vanier Audi tori um, entitled "Future o! Ecumenism."

During the year, Fr. O'Neill attended conferences !or Chaplains and Jesuit Student Counsellors. He plans to attend a six week work­shop at Georgetown University on Mental Health Disciplineo

Fr. O'Neill has acted as Chaplain !or Take Fraternity, is a member ot the Students Life Committee and moderator !or RAC. Both he and Fr. Nelson have occasionally accompanied our Varsity athletes on their trips.

OFFICE OF THE DEAN OF WOMEN

Langley Halli The 1967-68 aoadtlllio year opened with a blaze of glory for women students at Loyola. It was heard said "they are really here to stay." as the first girl arrived at Langley Hall, the newly opened Women's Residence.

From the time of the acquisition early in 1967 of the building to house women students, the Dean of Women and many others were busy planning the necessary renovation, equipping, furnishing and staffing of the building. A special women's committee was established to decide on color schemes, f'ur­nishings and general decor. Th.e Dean of Women assumed the po8ition of Direc­tor o! Residence at Langley Hall. She was very ably assisted by Miss Jean Bunting. Prior to th.e arrival of th.e students in re8idence, plans were :made for the smooth operation of the building on all levels. Six senior students were care!'U.lly chosen to assume the position of Resident Advisors. These students, one assigned to each wing of the building, helped tremendously to create an atmosphere for living and learningo

A Handbook was prepared, outlining general procedures and regulations for orderly community living. Initiated as a temporary guide, the handbook was revised through the mutual cooperation of the Director and the Women's Residence Council.

A temporary student government, the Women's Residence Council, was in­stituted within the Hall. This group planned a number of social activities, such as a "mixer" held in the :main lounge, a "Sing-a-long" with Fr. Browne, open house, a Christmas tree trimming party and a dance at th.e Windsor Hotel. Besides the social activities, the WRC wrote a constitution to establish a permanent system o! student government within the Hall.

The high-light of the year at Langley Hall was the Official Opening, December 10, 19671 this gala affair marked the dedication of the building to Susan B. Langley by her son, Mro M.J. McCormick.

A considerable amount of work in the Residence involved talking with, advising and counselling students, using the various counselling personnel available on campus. To1rard th.e end of the year, Rev. Arthur Nelson, S.Jo Assistant Chaplain, was available certain evenings for informal discussion and counselling. The need for extended counselling has become evident and plans for expansion of this service are being consideredo

The Dean of Women continued to foster the participation and active in­volvement of women in student life. She assisted the Women's Students Assoc­iation 1rith theirvarious undertakings. The WSA inaugurated a Big-Little-Sister program, designed to meet and help the new student in residence. This program

50

Page 59: President's Report - Concordia University · REPORT OF THE ACADEMIC VICE-PRESIDENT During 1967-1968, the Office of Dean of Studies was changed to Academic Vice President and the associate

informed the new student about life at Loyola and success.fully culminated in a dinner party.

Advice and assistance were giYen to other activities engaged in by the WSA. These included the orientation tea, a fashion show and official receptions in llhich. the WRC partic~pated. The newest endeavour of th.e WSA was the attempt to help organize the women as a reliable alumnae group. The Alumni Office and the Women's Association held a dinner for women grad­uates. This was seen as a valuable beginning to foster active participation or women in alumni affairs.

As women grew in numbers th.ey also grew in organizations with the forma­tion of a third sorority. Time and advice were given to this group to aid them in forming a stable and workable system. Plans were laid with the girls o! the three sororities to form a PanheJ.lenic Council !or the establishment of an over-all system for the regulation o! sorority life on campus.

The Dean of Women was also involved in a considerable amount of committee work. Outside of Residence duties, she was perhaps engaged most in the area o! the personal counselling of students.

REPORT OF THE OFFICE OF THE DEAN OF MEN

As a new member of th.e Student Services staff this year, the Dean of Men spent his initial months getting to laiow Loyola, its students and faculty.

As a counsellor, the dean saw many students who were having some kind of personal difficulty with drugs, studies, family, finances and other matters which made life unbearable. The use of marijuana and L.s.D. emerged as a major problem far a small minority. In addition to the counselling services made available to the drug users, a panel presentation by experts on the use and abuse of drugs was offered for th.e entire student body. As the year nears an end, preparations are under way !or a national conference on drug use and abuse to be held on the Loyola. campus during the Fall 1968 term..

The advising role of the Dean of Men involved liaison work with student govermnent and the various student societies. Under the LMSA constitution, the Dean of Men was a non-voting member of th.e Board of Directors with specific .Provision for speaking .Privileges. Many hours were devoted to consultation and discussion of student government pro­grams with the officers of LMSA, their committee and board members. Th.e student Senate assumed th.e role of a court of original jurisdiction in the adjudication of alleged student violations of college policies. The Dean worked closely with. the Student Senate as they developed terms of reference and procedures for !Ulfilling this judical .f'unction. The Dean's office investigated any charges made against a student and re­ferred the case for hearing to the Student Senate providing, in the Dean's judgment, th.a case could not be handled more justly in another manner. A sub-committee of the Student Life Committee chaired by the Dean of Men is currently studying the entire area of student social regulations, the source of Loyola's authority to make such policies and th.a procedures by which violations may be adjudicated. Recom­mendations will be made on th.ese areas during the 1968-69 academic year.

The Dean's o~ice, in cooperation with the LMSA,sponsored a six week Student Leadership Course in which thirty freshmen and sophomores were exposed to the theory and techniques which combine to make a success!Ul, effective student leader. Loyola faculty, administrators, student leaders as well as outside consultants were invited to :make presentations during the course of the program.

Negotiations with the Drama Society resulted in an agreement to employ a f'ull-time Drmn.a Director to assist in bringing a. high degree of quality to the dramatic efforts of Loyola . Students.

52

Page 61: President's Report - Concordia University · REPORT OF THE ACADEMIC VICE-PRESIDENT During 1967-1968, the Office of Dean of Studies was changed to Academic Vice President and the associate

As an administrator, the Dean o! Men was responsible !or the Health Services and Placement Services. As administrative liaison o!!icer with the career planning and placement centre, the Dean or­ganized a faculty, student and administrative planning cOJlllllittee to assist the Director o! Placement in bis efforts to :meet the needs of' the student body.

On campus psychiatric services were initiated tor the first time this year. As a result of negotiations with Dr. Walsh of' St. Mary's Hospital Ps;rohiatric Services, ttto ps;rohiatrists will spend a total of ten hours each week in the ~pus Health Services during the next acad e:m.ic year.

With the cooperation of the Academic Vice President, a study has been conducted into the need of eJq)&?lding the Guidance Centre. Dr. Laurent Isabelle of the University of ottawa was engaged as a consultant in this matter.

Finally, a new Director of Men•s Housing was appointed to begin work with the new fiscal year. He is a young Canadian interested in Student Personnel work as a carreer.

The Dean of Men attended several professional meetings during the year where topics ranged from student power confrontations to drug abuse. The year has been f'ull, eventful and tremendously challenging.

REPORT OF THE OFFICE OF ·THE ASSISTANT DEAN OF MEN

The Assistant Dean of Men has special responsibilities in the area of advice to foreign student fraternities, science and engineering student societies, and the evening student council.

This year, h.e helped th.e Maroon and White Society, LoyolA's traditional honor soci.ety in college service, to restructure itself into a group in which. ten !aculty :members were invited to be fUll :me:mbe:rs along with the twenty-thirdand fourth year student :members. The student :member's enthusiasm. !or this orientation refutes the ~pression gained from this era's news­papers that aJJ. students are alienated from aJJ. professors and adm1n1strators.

The fraternities, with the help of members from the Faculty o! CODDD.erce, re!ined th.eir book-kee_ping and accounting procedures as part of their pr.ogress a.nd development into usetul members of th.a Loyola Community. A :f"urth.er reach­ing out into the larger North .American University community occured wh.en Loyola is first local :t"raterni ty, !ounded five years ago, became th.a first Canadian oha_pter of Phi Kappa Th.eta, an intercollegiate society nth 75 college chapters and 25,000 living initiates .. Two of the five fraternities are now inter-coJJ.egiate.

The .A.:f.'rica Club decided on its own to elect some native Canadian officers thus broadening this society to a.n interest group from its former work of mutual h.elp to our African students.

Especially successful was a new activity of the Engineering Students Society - a buffet luncheon held during Founder's Day celebrations at the COTC mess wh.en the President a_poke on the immediate !'u.ture of Loyola.

Th.a Maroon & White Sodiety inaugurated several new activities, but outstanding !or its impact was its Founder's Day Breakfast, at which Fr. Malone was th.e guest of honor.-

This year, for the first time, the Even:i,:ng Students Council participated in Founder's Day with a special panel, eonsidering education in general and evening coJJ.ege education in particular. Sir George Williams Registrar, Donald Peets and Mr. Douglas Potvin, Director of th.a Evening Division, Rev. Gerald MacGuigan, Dean of Arts and Council Advisor, Dean G. Uihlein, spoke a.nd th.en made themselves available to meet interested evening students.

The Assistant Dean o! Men ~as chairman of the New Campus Parking Committee which made available a forum !or information and discussion on this vexing problem of any growing urban campus ..

.54

Page 63: President's Report - Concordia University · REPORT OF THE ACADEMIC VICE-PRESIDENT During 1967-1968, the Office of Dean of Studies was changed to Academic Vice President and the associate

Refinements were made in the structure of the sub-committee on Frater­nities and Sororities which reports to the College Senate, through the Committee on Student Life, as an appellate board representing the ?arious parts of the college interested in these societies, which in a very special way unite students, faculty and alumni.

The Assistant Dean of Men did his share of personal counselling: was chairman or member of several other colege committees; was appointed assistant editor of the Journal of the Canadian Association of University Student Personnel Services and editor of the Association's Newsletter. He was a regular member of the science faculty council and of the chemistry department.

HINGSTON HALL

Opening day of the 1967-68 academic year found Hingston Hall completely filled: 304 students, 3 counsellors, 2 Jesuit priests and one Assistant Dean, plus some 13 students on a waiting list. Most of this latter group were successfully placed in Residence within the first two weeks due to last min­ute cancellations. Of particular interest is the fact that about 100 of the resident students were .American. The end of the year found us with 288 stud­ents still in Residence. The change in the resident figure was mostly due to drop-outs or failure in mid-term exams.

Bookings for Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors for 1968-69 number 175 paid applications to date. With some200 plus Freshman applications still to be re­ceived Hingston Hall will undoubtedly be filled again next year.

CONSOLIDATION OF DEAN AND DJJl.ECTOR•S OFFICE

This. past fall Fr. President integrated the position of Dean and Director of Residence under one head: The Dean of Residence's Office. This greatly aided in the proper re-organization and administration of all elements of staff and budget responsibilities under one responsible authority.

RENOVATIONS

Taking direct action and by-passing all objections to student labor, we painted 6 downstairs corridors, the central foyer, 10 downstairs public rooms, 3 stairwells and all 6 resident floor corridors ••• all in attractive pastel semi-gloss colors. Use of student labor helped save us approximately $5,000. The Maintenance Department plastered all areas, painted 3 stairwells and the dining room. We hope, again with the cooperation of the Maintenance Department and the use of some student labor, to continue and complete the painting of all the residence student rooms this summer.

The cost of new carpeting for the Residence living floors has been deter­mined; release of funds is all that is now needed to complete this project ••• which is desperately needed.

A pricing of new, sturdier furniture for the residents' rooms is now in process. Gradual, year by year, floor by floor, replacement is recommended.

RESIDENCE STAFF

This year we undoubtedly had the finest group of Counsellors and Proctors in the past four yearso Each man displayed an exceptional loyalty, dedication

Page 65: President's Report - Concordia University · REPORT OF THE ACADEMIC VICE-PRESIDENT During 1967-1968, the Office of Dean of Studies was changed to Academic Vice President and the associate

and understanding of his position and duties. Special commendation goes to Mr. Alan Lam, Assistant Dean of Residence. On the Management side, Mr. Tom Armstrong ilas absolutely invaluable.

GENERAL LIVJNG PATTERN

The condensed academic year plus the extremely broken pattern of this year generally, contributed to a higher than usual rowdiness in the Residence this yearo

MAINTENANCE

With the cooperation of the Director of Physical Plant, Mr. Kelly, we were able to have a general repairman in the building most of the year. Un­fortunately, the rapidly deteriorating condition of the room furniture occupied most of his time and left little time to make improvements. This should be continued next year. Maid service was curtailed ••• saving $6,000.

SUMMER RENTAL PAMPHLET

A nail promotional pamphlet attractively presented llith pictures, basic summer facilities and rate information was prepared with the excellent ass­istance of Mrs. Frood of the Public Relations Department. Nearly 1000 of these have been sent out to date.

FINANCIAL Al]) DEPARTMENT

All aspects of student Financial Aid were channeled through this Depart­ment. This included applications and appeals, ~here necessary, for Govern­ment Aid from Quebec, other Canadian Provinces and home States for our American students; Loyola Bursary assistance; and arrangements for loans from outside sources as well as from funds placed at our disposal by outside agencies.

La.st year for the first time letters were sent out to the parents of prospective students dealing with all aspects of financing a student's University career. 1,500 letters were sent and resulted in about 300 inter­views and telephone calls dealing with specific financial problems. These were unusually rewarding as a "package" for meeting costs was then found.

New to Loyola is the inc.reased number of married students. It is of interest to note that,par ticularly in this group, there are mor·e students seeking outright gifts t han those willing to assume the obligation of long term loans.

Government Bursary payments to students were greatly delayed~ Even when the students were on their summer vacation many had not received the promised bursary.

Again this year the Director, Financial Aid was responsible for checking the financial status of all foreign Students before final acceptance. Because of the unstable political climate in many parts of the world, unanticipated financial problems have arisen among upperclassmen.

The Director, Financial Aid, as Executive-Secretary of the Scholarship Committee coordinates all matters pertaining to Scholarships.

Loyola bursaries, also awarded by the Scholarship Committee, are channeled through this office. This year all parents of prospective students were sent bursary applications to fill out if they anticipated financial difficulties. Actually after receiving assistance from their own Government, as suggested in our letter, not many returned the form. We plan to send another letter this year because advance knowledge of student needs assists in planning bursary disbursements.

The Financial Aid Office was also made the clearing-house for Student Accident Insurance.

The three emergency loan funds placed at our disposal by: The Birks Family Foundation, the B•nai B'rith Hillel Foundation and the National Council of Jewish Women were again operative this year. The students seem more aware

58

Page 67: President's Report - Concordia University · REPORT OF THE ACADEMIC VICE-PRESIDENT During 1967-1968, the Office of Dean of Studies was changed to Academic Vice President and the associate

of the value of these funds and are repaying their loans as promised so that other students may benefit in a like emergency.

The administrative arrangements for all Convocation Prizes and Medals were again handled by this department.

STUDENT PLACEMENT SERVICE

CAREER PLANNING AND PLACEMENT

The Career Planning and Placement Service on the Loyola campus is opera­ted by the Canada Manpower Centre and staffed by five employees including a Director. The major emphasis of this service is concerned with the career placement of graduating seniors. In addition, some efforts are made to list part-time and summer jobs for interested studentso

During the past year the Service performed its primary .f'U.nction in a highly satisfactory manner. There was a twenty-six percent increase in the number of graduating seniors registered with the Service in 1967-68 as com­pared with the preceding year. Tae Placement Service also worked to set up the beginnings of a Vocational Reference Room for students interested in read­ing more about career possibilities. Surveys were conducted among the alumni t o determine how valuable Career Planning and Placement was in assisting them find a career position when they graduated.

The summer of 1968 found a majority of our students without the temporary employment so necessary to financing their . academic year. It is in this area that insufficient efforts were made by the Placement .Office and where efforts for improvement will be sought during the next year. Student needs in the area of .part-time and summer ~ployment nll require an aggressive search for the available openings by our Placement Service Personnel.

Negotiations have been conducted all year between U.C.PoAo and the Min­istry of Manpower and Immigration regarding the future status of the College Placement Services. There has been general dissatisfaction among college officials about the inattention and lack of understanding shown by the regional Manpower Centres toward Campus Placement needs. At this time AUCC has entered the final stages of negotiations regarding the reorganization and upgrading of Manpower's Career Planning and Placement Services at colleges and universities.

STUDENT HEALTH SERVICES

The Student Health Service of Loyola College in its second year of operation treated almost twice the number of persons seen the previous year. Again, students living in residence numbered over half of the number of students visiting the Health Service. The Service moved to enlarged quar­ters in the Centennial Building with private offices for Physician and Nurse; a treatment room, a day care bedroom, two examining cubicles and a waiting room.

Psychiatric Services were initiated with a Psychiatrist visiting one morning a month initially and later weekly as most students sought help.

A full time secretary has assisted in freeing the nurse for counselling, rather than cle!'ical details.

Nost students had a chest x-ray taken at registration and this resulted in the hospitalization of one student with open tuberculosiso Two others re­quired careful evaluation and another two with. previously known chest disease were found.

MUSIC

T:hrough the efforts of the Department of Student Services a successf"u.l music program has been added to the campus. F:r. w. Browne, with his keen interest in all aspects of music, undertook this year to assist in the co­ordination and supervision of this programo

The Loyola Choral Society, under the Directorship of Dr. Th.omas Legrady, has increased in quantity and quality since its establishment in 1966. The Choral Society is comprised of students, faculty, staff and members of the local community. Because of its fine program, the Society has attracted more and more students to its ranks. During the 1967-68 academic year the Society presented a number of programs at the college and was invited to appear before groups in the Montreal community. This year's program consisted of:

A Christmas Concert, Loyola, Smith Aud. Singing with the Band at Christmas Concert during

President's Christmas Party Wine and Cheese Party, Faculty Club N.D.G. Ladies' Club at Victoria Hall St. Mary's Hospital Spring Concert, with assistance from Dr.

Buell and Dr. Ha.yes

Not to be outdone, the Loyola College Band, under the direction of Mr. H. Rzepus, ma.de its debut December 10th. in a ·very well-received concert. The Brass Quintet continued to practice and perform. regularly. This group appeared on three occasions at Expo •67 as well as at a number of other places in the city. The Quintet joined the Choral Society for the Spring Concert along with the newly formed Wood Wind Quintet and the Loyola Madrigal Singers.

High. hopes have been raised this year as members of a Montreal Orchestra expressed interest in reforming as the Loyola Concert Orchestra. Rehearsals with this group began in February and continued until the closing of college.

DEPARTMENT OF PHYSIC.AL EDUCATION AND ATHLETICS

The Department of Physical F.ducation and Athletics of Loyola during the school year 1967-68 recorded the third consecutive year of auspicious accomp­lishment.

The most prominent achievement, in th.is the third year of the expansion program initiated in 1965, was the degree of excellence reached on the local and national level. The varsity teams which represent all areas of the College won six intercollegiate league championships. Both the Varsity Basketball and Varsity Hockey teams were accorded national recognition. During the regular winter sports season Loyola has the best win-loss leauge record :amongst forty­three universities conq>eting across the country. Basketball compiled a perfect record or 14-0 while Hookey lost a single game, concluding the regular season w1 th a 15-1 mark.

In the National Championship Hockey playoffs Loyola defeated the defending champions, the University of Toronto, in the semi-final r<nmrl. The University of Alberta Golden Bears upset the Loyola Warriors in the last seventeen seconds of play in the Dominion Championsh~p.

The Varsity Soccer team continued its ~pressive record during 1967, going undefeated through.out their season, and winning the Ottawa-St. Lawrence League for the second consecutive yearo

Significant progress was also recorded with the growth and upgrading of the women's physical education and athletic programme, in the individual sports of Judo, Karate and Weight-training 1n particular, and in team sports, namely, Broom.ball, Curling, Swimming and Wrestling., Loyola co-eds registere'.d a record number of participants and "Won their first championship - the Women's Open Basketball League. A second highlight for the women's section of the depart­ment was their acceptance as f'ull fiedged members of the Ontario-Quebec Con­ference. Also during the ,past year the Women's Athletic Council was estab­lished enabling Loyola co-eds to become intimately involved in all the admin­istrative facets of the programme.

Karate, which was being offered for the first time, Judo and Weight­training proved to be three of the fastest growing activities with near ma.x1.mum numbers participatinga

The 1967-68 Swimming and Curling teams also distinguished themselves by becoming the first Loyola representatives to achieve runner-up honors in Ottawa­Sto Lawrench League Championship competitiono

The developmental Junior Varsity teams, established two years ago to give more student athletes the opportunity to learn and im,prove by playing, assumed a status all their own with both the J.V. Hockey and Basketball Bl"aves winning their respective leagues.

There were other firsts as well: the first Evening Division Hockey League, the first Minor League Football Day, the first Summer Soccer League, the first Sports Hall of Fame Indttctions, the first Women's. Varsity Volleyball Team, the first Summer Developmental Basketball League, the first Annual Loyola Ontario High School All-Stars vs Quebec High School All-Stars Hockey Game and the Firts R~ng Club •.

During the 1967-68 school year over one hundred and fifty athletic events and several non-athletic affairs were successf'u.lly promoted, organized and administered by the Department staff._ These included National Collegiate Hockey Championships, the Ottawa-St.Lawrence Hockey Championships, the ottawa­St.Lawrence League Wrestling Championships, the exclusive hosting and re­presentation of Canada in international competition with the Australian National Basketball Team, the Paraplegic Olympic Games, the Eastern Canada Lacross Clinic, the Third Annual Bi-lingual Football Coaching School featuring the four Head Coaches in the Eastern Conference of the Canadian Football Lea­gue, the Alumni Sports Night, and the Second Annual Loyola of Montreal Cen­tennial Invitational Hockey and Basketball Tournaments.

To advance the caliber of native talent, the following events were con­ducted: Greater Montreal Interscholastic Athletic Association Wrestling Champ­ionsh~ps and Greater Montr~al Interscholastic Athletic Association Hockey Cham_pionships, Second Annual Pre-Season Hockey Coaches Clinic and Hockey School for Players, Second Annual Pre-Season Basketball Coaches Clinic and Basketball School for Players, First Annual Loyola-Ontario High. School All Stars vs Quebec High School All Stars Hockey Game, Third .Annual Loyola All Star Hockey Coaches Clinic, Summer Developmental Basketball Program-Instruction and League Play, Third Annual Loyola All Star Basketball Game - Eastern United States All Star vs Eastern Canadian All Stars and Third Annual Loyola All Star Basketball Coaches Clinic.

Vitally supplementing the expenditures of the College,the Department of Physical Education and Athletics continued to help finance its own operation with the solicitations of ten thousand dollars in f'u.nds and equipment.

In conclusion, 1967-68 has been a year of fine accomplishment for the Department of Physical Education and Athletics of Loyola of Montreal.

REPORT OF THE DlRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT

Development Office activity at Loyola during the past year concen­trated efforts mainly in the area of the capital development program. To­wards th.e objective of $6,600,000 set for the public appeal phase of this program, $4,210,499.69 had been pledged at the end of the fiscal yearo Some changes in the building program itself, notably the construction of a faculty residence under a revised financial arIS1gement, have meant adjust­ment of the stated objective. In effect, the program is still about $1,000,000 short of the minimum objective and the appeal continues through the coming year.

Pledges to the capital program in 1967-68 amounted to $373,696.26 from 817 donors. Corporations, foundations, and individuals contributing to the program to date total 2547. Projected new pledge estimate in 1968-69 is $582,000.

In June, further im,petus was given to the capital development program by the formation of a Special Committee under Mr. Samuel Davidson. The work of this committee was launched at a dinner with Mr. Samuel Bronf'man as host. By the end of the fiscal period, the lfork of this committee had produced pledges totalling $192,408 with canvassing continuing through th.e summer period.

Capital c~paigns, deferred-giving programs, s.pecial need assistance for research, scholarshi.P, equi.pment and educational operations provide a new kind of challenge to Canadian universities. This challenge can only be met through the comparison of effort and techniques, the exchange of data, and co-operation in the development of new areas of financial su.pport of our universities. Needed as well are improved meth.ods of presenting the case for higher education which will elicit an increased financial response from public and private sources.

A notable developmen~ among the universities of F.astern Canada during the past y~·.was the . formation of an association of university development officers and the limited exchange of financial su.pport data among participat­ing members. This organized approach to the needs for, and pursuit of, financial aid through a formal association appears to raprasent a step for­ward in the common search of universities for growing amounts of assistance from both government and private sources of support.

There were further staff reductions during the year, affecting all areas of the Development Office. The long-sought relocation of offices to provide a more closely integrated physical arrangement of space and personnel was finally achieved and effective interchangeable services of staff became practical. Fund-raising counsel was substantially curtailed at the end of 1967.

Page 76: President's Report - Concordia University · REPORT OF THE ACADEMIC VICE-PRESIDENT During 1967-1968, the Office of Dean of Studies was changed to Academic Vice President and the associate

The Public Relations Officer and staff was separated from the Development Office and made responsible to the President's Office. With this change publications, advertising and publicity became the responsibility of Public Relations.

Public Relations counsel, which had been provided to Loyola by Mr. V.M. O•Byrne for the previous four years, was assigned to the Loyola Public Relations Officer under Mrs. Norah Frood. The services rendered by Mr. O•Byrne from 1964 through 1967 contributed valuably to a wide diversity of activities and needs. Mr. 0 1Byrne's expenditure of time, effort and talent, as well as his deep personal concern for the welfare of Loyola, call for special commendation.

ALUMNI OFFICE

The past year in the Alumni Office has been one of reorganization. There have been an updating of records, a revision of the methods of solicitation for funds, a change in the appearance of the "Alumnus" magazine and an upgrading of its content. The annual Alumni Fund for Loyola was most successful under the chairmanship of Mr. Charles A. Phelan, with contributions in the amount of $57,000 - an increase of $22,000 over the previous year.·

The Alumni appeal in the Capital Campaign which began last year now totals $160,000 as of June 30, 1968. Details of Alumni Association activ­ities are included in the Report of the President of the Association.

REPORT OF THE PUBLIC RELATIONS OFFICER

The efforts of the Public Relations Office to :maintain and develop effective internal and external communications for Loyola have continued and,in fact, expanded during the past year.

Increased direct contact with Faculty, Administration, Students and Alumni has improved internal communications and made it easier to provide more complete releases through THE HAPPENING - a bi~monthly Calendar of Events - and information bulletins related to specific events.

Regular contact has been maintained with the local and national press -including T.V. and Radio - through regular releases about Loyola events and activities, faculty appointments and publications, .academic. programs and student achievements. Press Conferences were called throughout the year to discuss matters of interest and concern to the community outside Loyola.

A quarterly publication, LOYOLA IN ACTION, has been produced and sent to donors, Alumni Officers, other educational institutions and friends of Loyola with information about new developments and growth around the Campus. A brochure encouraging Montreal visitors to use Hingston Hall as a Summer residence was widely distributed to educational institutions in Canada and the United States. In cooperation with the Placement Office, a booklet was prepared to inform employers of Loyola's educational program, the expected number of graduates and interviewing facilities at Loyola. There is no longer a Publications Officer at Loyola and Public Relations services are now required in assisting with the production of other material for internal and external use. These include Memorial Mass booklets, internal telephone directories,programs and invitations for Convocations and special events and The President's Report.

The Public Relations Office has also assisted in the planning of special events at Loyola. These have included Convocations; official openings of new buildings; receptions for visiting lecturers,seminars, and conferences; and concerts arranged by the Committee on Cultural Activities.

It has become increasingly clear that central coordination of events and activities is required at Loyola if the needs of faculty, administration and students are to be equitably met. The Public Relations Office is now in the process of developing an Events Coordination Center through which all requests for facilities and services will be made. In addition to centralizing such requests, this service will improve internal communication at Loyola and facilitate the rel$ase of information by the Public Relations Office.

The services offered by the Public Relations Office are available to all areas of faculty and administration and, on an advisory basis, to student govermnent or student organizations when requested. These services are carried out in cooperation and consultation with the individuals, groups or depart­ments involved to better achieve the goal of the Public Relations Office to con­tinually improve internal and external communications at Loyola.

REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE LOYOLA OF MONTREAL STUDENTS• ASSOCIATION

INCORPORATION

All preliminary conditions and legal formalities having been complied with, the Loyola of Montreal Students• Association was duly incorporated in 1966 under Part 111 of the Quebec Companies Act.

CAMPUS (STUDENT) CENTRE

Construction of the Campus (Student) Centre has been delayed. Although the architects have finalized the plans, the $2,500,000 building cannot be submitted to tender until long-term financial arrangements have been completed. The plans call for the housing of the Students• Association and its member organizations, campus dining facilities, the college bookstore, and spacious lounge areas.

We have actively sought the tangible support of the Provincial Govern­ment in recent months. Apart .from their acknowledgement of receipts of our letters, telegrams, and petition, no response has been received.

TheBoard of Governors gave its approval last spring to the construction of the Centre. However, in view of the present financial position of the College and the political and economic climate of Quebec, hopes of realizing the Campus Centre within the near f'uture have diininished.

STUDENT REPRESENTATION BRIEFS

We have presented two briefs on this subject to the Loyola Community. In our preliminary paper, "Representation: the Student Right and the Student Responsibility", we called for the formal participation of students within the structures of university government at Loyola.

In our second paper, "Student Representation: Perspectives and Proposals", we reviewed these points which continually came up in our discussions with the faculty and administration (student irresponsibility, the problem of continuity, the question of representativeness).

Here also, we outlined specifically our proposals, requesting: a) that a Joint Committee on Student Affairs be formed, composed of three members of the Board of Governors and three students; b) that five students be included as full members of the College Senate; c) that consideration be given to the

70

Page 79: President's Report - Concordia University · REPORT OF THE ACADEMIC VICE-PRESIDENT During 1967-1968, the Office of Dean of Studies was changed to Academic Vice President and the associate

seating of students on the Curricula C011111ittee, the Library Board, and the Academic Standing Committee; and d) that joint faculty-student cOlllllittees be established on the departmental leTel.

A Joint Conference COlllllittee, with representatives of the Board of Governors, Senate, Administration, and Students• Association, was set up during the year under review. This COllllld.ttee provides a valuable link between the different governing bodies o! Loyola, leading to an increased co-ordination or policies and to discussions which will foster a better understanding among the various groups on campus.

Senate has approved the inclusion of three students within its mem­bership, representing by faculty, Arts, COJ11111.erce, Science/Engineering. Student representation has also been increased to four on the Committee on Student Life; and students participate in many of its sub-committees, which include the Health, Judiciary, Food, and Job Placement committees, and the Athletic Board.

In a brief, 'The Time for Thought:f.'ul Discussion•, presented to the Collage Senate, we sought the establishment of an!£ hoc committee to review all grading policies and procedures.

A sub-committee of Academic Standing, which included two members of faculty and two students, was set up to carry out this task. Its report was issued in February 1968.·

EDUCATION EVALUATION

An 1F.ducation Evaluation• project was sponsored by the L4M.S.A. for the first time this year. It was well-received throughout the Loyola com­munity and recognized as a serious attempt on the part or students to study constructively faculty and student attitudes, and to examine the nature of maiv courses and course presentations.

STUDENT BILL OF RIGHTS

A Student Bill or Rights was drafted and adopted in a referendum last October. It is now included as a preamble to the By-Laws of the Loyola of Montreal Students• Association.

The ·Student Bill includes seven articles, outlining the rights to govern­ment, to due process, of private citizenship, of publication, of representation and information, and of fl-eedom of association, and clarifies the academic rights or the student.

71

QUEBEC AND THE GOVERNMENT

Our relationship with Quebec and our negotiations with government officials have been characterized by continued frustration.

We have travelled to Quebec and met with Mr. Jean Lamy, Executive Assistant to the Minister of Education and Director of the Education Minister's cabinet. In our discussion on the subject of Loyola's status and government capital and operational grants nothing promising emerged.

In view of the financial crisis facing Loyola and bearing in mind from the student point of view the possibility of a rise in tuition fees, several student rallies led to a decision to stage a mass march to Quebec City. Petitioners obtained thousands of signatures supporting our cause. Only a meeting of Mro Jean-Guy Cardinal, Minister of Education, with Father Malone, Mr. Terry Copp (Faculty Association President), and Graham Nevin (new Student President) averted at the last minute the proposed march to Quebec City.

Loyola's official participation in U.G.E.Q. began at the Second Annual Congress from February 15th to the 19th, 19670 Loyola was granted a 'special status•,with one vote on the Conseil Central -- the legislative council. This constituted an important first step in a change of attitude among the member bodies of U.G.E.Q., with Loyola formally recognized as having a status above that of 'classical college'.

Members in UoG.EoQo have shown an impatience to effect radical change in the social and educational structures of the provinceo In various in­stances, ideological agitation has been the norm. This may or may not be the best way to bring about a more active, just, and free society in the Province of Quebeci but, as a result, f'unda.mental differences in philosophy do exist within the U.GoE.Qo However, it is the irrevocable duty of the students of Loyola to make their position heard, their ideals known, and their willingness to contribute understood.

ATHLETICS

Our first concern in th.is area, was to seek the re-establishment of an Athletic Board, with representation from all segments of the community, to formulate policies for the Athletic Department. A:rter lengthy discussions, we drafted and presented to the Committee on Student Life a constitution for such a board. This was accepted and the newly created Board is presently reviewing policies concerned with the financing of the Athletic program,

72

Page 81: President's Report - Concordia University · REPORT OF THE ACADEMIC VICE-PRESIDENT During 1967-1968, the Office of Dean of Studies was changed to Academic Vice President and the associate

recruitment, financial aid to student athletes, and eligibility for, and scheduling of, inter-collegiate athletics.

FRATERNITIES AND SORORITIF.S

In the past year, the constitution of the Inter-Fraternity Council has been adopted. In addition, the constitution of two new sororities are presently under consideration.

DRUGS

The College Senate has adopted as a student regulation the following:

"The use and possession of hallucenogenic drugs, as well as drugs specifically prohibited by law, are not permitted on the Loyola campus. The penalty for the dispensing or sale of drugs on campus is dismissal".

LIBRARY AND STUDY AREAS

Our initial recommendation was to change the physical plant within the library, arranging the bookshelves in one line instead of having them staggered. This has been done and it is our belief that the new arrange­ment has gone a long way towards preventing breaches of student discipline within the building.

As a focal facility in a student's learning process, the student has a natural interest in the library atmosphere and use and in general the con­ditions which will provide for its maximum utility. Bearing this in mind, we have proposed that two student representatives sit on the Library Board.

Lastly, a listing of vacant classrooms to serve as additional study areas throughout each day of the week is presently being prepared. This, hopef"ully, will eliminate the acute shortage of academic areas for study purposes.

FINANCES

The L.M.S.A. has worked with an operational budget of slightly over $53,000 this part year. This was -divided approximately as follows: 40% to the SAC, 25% to publication, z% for the purchase of fixed assets, and 35% to the member organizations and societies of the Students' Association. An additional $21,000 has been partially realized (the re:ma.inder anticipated and forthcoming) in advertising revenues to help defray the cost of publication.

73

Page 82: President's Report - Concordia University · REPORT OF THE ACADEMIC VICE-PRESIDENT During 1967-1968, the Office of Dean of Studies was changed to Academic Vice President and the associate

The Student Centre Building Fund presently stands at $70,300.

The Student Loan Fund amounts to slightly over $2,200 while our re­serve for capital expansion slightly exceeds $2,100.

EVENTS

Major activities included a two-day Fl-ashman Variety Show, the Annual Car. Wash, the Fl-ashman Fling at the new Place Bonaventure, an •Ian and Sylvia' concert, the Homecoming Ball, the first-term drama production "Love Me, Love ?v" Dog", a Commerce Business Exposition, the •Gordon Light­foot• Show, and the Faculty Presidents• Ball at the Sheraton-Mount Royal Hotel. Carnival was the biggest and bes.t yet, featuring the 'Mitchell Trio•, the compudate-dance, &"human dog sleigh race, a ski-day at Mont Habitant, and the major dance of the year -- the Carnival Sno-Ball.

DISCIPLINE

The Student Senate has presented a report which calls for the re­structuring of judical structures at Loyolao

An!£_ hoc committee has been set up to look into the question of disciplinary procedures in depth. They shall a) seek to determine the source of the law in the university community (powers given by charter; also how far does 'in loco parentis' extend), b) study systems in other Canadian universities, and c) recommend a simple yet complete judicial structure for Loyola.

Over the past year, the Senate has handled three cases involving student disciplineo

COMMUNICATION

Communication with the students is still one of our most crucial pro­blemso The student must come to realize that the Students• Association re­presents th.em and their interests; that it can do so only with. their encour­agement, their participation, and their support. They must become laiowledge­able in the issues which race them and must responsibly participate in the affairs of the Loyola community. To achieve these aims must always be one of the pr1me tasks and objectives of student leaders.

PRESil>ENTtS EMPLOYMENT AND PERSONNEL

The whole scope of student government has e:x;panded greatly in recent years. The Loyola of Montreal Students• Association is an established business ( a corporation, in point of fact), responsible for the organiza­tion and co-ordination of all student activities and for the administra­tion of $200,000 in revenue over a one-year period. The task of student president is overwhelming. It demands his f'Ull time and his tireless energies. Recognizing this fact, the president was hired f'Ull time by the Board of Directors over the summer months. A discontinuation of this practice is tnadv·isable. The president is needed to represent the students over the summer, to formulate and carry out policy for the association, to prepare for the political activities and the educational undertakings of the students; and to administer and oversee the program of social and cul­tural activities to be sponsored throughout the academic year.

REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION

Various Co.m:mi ttee Chairmen have reported in some detail with respect to events and projects sponsored by the Association during the past twelve months. It is with considerable appreciation, and deep gratitude to those responsible, that I can report nearly universal success in this regardo I would venture to state that participation by members of the Association in the social events, in the special projects, and in the most important area of concrete support for Loyola, has never been higher. Without ignoring many truly worthwhile occasions during the year's experience, I would like to make special mention of a few instances in which I believe our Associa­tion has succeeded in making a worthwhile contribution to Loyola.

The installation of the charter members of the Sports Hall of Fame took place. No event in recent memory brought about such an outpouring of favour­able publicity in the various news media for this institution. Our gratitude must be extended to Dr. Brodrick, to Mro McCallum and to the large group who contributed to this project. $120,000.00 was pledged by alumni to Loyola's Development Program during 1967, of which about $50,000.00 was received during 1967. These amounts are considerably in excess of contribution in prior years made byalumni to their alma mater and reflect a rather high average gift since the percentage of participation ramains a great deal lower than it should be. Your Fund Chairman for 1968 is seeking to corre~t this imbalance and it is to be hoped that more alumni will come to realize that, if they do not support Loyola themselves, it is difficult to expect goverrnnents, the business com­munity and the public at large to do so.

The Student Loan Fund operated to the advantage of many during the year, and I reiterate my thanks, and yours, to Dean Joly and Dr. Blanar who bore the lion's share of the work in administering this project.

For the third time, the Loyola Medal was presented to an outstanding Canadian, Mayor Jean Drapeau of Montreal. In view of the quality of the recipients of the Medal to date and of its acceptance by the news media as a significant award, I believe we may report that this project has achieved its original object and the Medal ranks high among distinctions of this nature.

A most distinguished alumnus, Ambassador Pedro Suinaga, continued to gi.ve constant and unfailing support to this Association and to nearly all its activities. During his tenure as Mexico's Ambassador to this country, ·many of us ca.."lle to know him well and to realize the high esteem in which he con­tinues to hold Loyola. Ambassador and Mrs. Suinaga returned to Mexico in early April, after a farewell visit to Loyola to attend the Students• Mass in the Chapel. At this time, I expressed to him on your behalf our apprec­iation for his interest and support in the efforts of this Association.

A word of gratitude and appreciation is due to Mr. Ed Enos, the Director of Athletics, who has made his facilities available to us whenever they were required, and whose interest in the efforts of our Association has always been high. It should be realized that the original inspiration for the Sports Hall of Fame came from Mr. Enos. The new Athletic Night event, which occurred in December of last year and which proved to be particularly interesting to younger alumni, is likewise the product of his fertile imagination. We rs­.main grateful for his continuing co-operation and hope that the Association, in some way, may assist the efforts of his Department.

Loyola High School remains an important consideration for our Associa­tion, since it provides the sole connection with Loyola for many of our members. Two years ago, arrangements were concluded with the Principal, Father K. Casey, and with Mr. Ed Meagher, Vice-Principal and Director of Admissions, to ensure that, as far as possible, sons of alumni would be ac­co.m..~odated. In a day when five times· the number of applicants that can be accepted sit for the entrance examinations, the academic level has become extremely high. I would like to express to Father Casey and to Mr. Meagher our deep appreciation for their understanding of the involvement of the Alumni Association in this report, and for their great efforts in imple­menting the agreements concluded two years ago.

The academic year now concluding has been an eventful one, not only for Loyola but for university-level institutions around the world. Events at McGill last Fall, and later at Columbia and at the University of Paris, are indicative of the tremendous unrest and dissatisfaction among student bodies the world over. To my mind, the most significant manifestation during the course of the year, relating to the attitude of Loyola students, occurred during the financial crisis of February and Marh last. From my vantage point, it appeared that the students of Loyola in 1968, during those days, displayed great determination, courage and maturity and are entitled to considerable respect and appreciation on the part of alumni. At the ti.me of the proposed march upon Quebec, there were many doubters among us but when we were approa­ched by the representatives of the student body any such doubts wer9 removed by the nature of their preparations, their self-imposed discipline, and the manifest justice of their ca.use. That they succeeded so well is a tribute to them.

Unfortunately, in certain areas, or at least in one area, the generation gap between some alumni and students did come to light. Unhappily, the re­action of certain of our members was not a cause for great pride. All of us have a perfect right to preserve our own values and express our own opinions as forcefully as we wish, and should do so, however divergent these opinions may be from those of our future members on a given point. However, I suggest that the type of reaction which says "Cross my name fro.m your lists, I have no further interest in anything you do" accomplishes nothing and is unworthy of intelligent men. Where such an experience was encountered, fortunately in very few instances, investigation revealed that the individuals concerned had seldom made much, if any, contribution whatever as alumni. It seems to

me that, on questions and issues which may arise and divide the community more or less on a basis of age, that the young expect arguement and dis­cussion but believe they are entitled to be heard, and to respect for, if not acceptance of, their views. It would be unfortunate if such issues produced only a dialpgue on the deaf, and I say that there are more with hearing difficulties among us than among the students.

The solutions arrived at with government authorities during the month of March were, at best, temporary, and one can only foresee a long, hard r0ad ahead along which Loyola must pass to achieve its rightful place in the educational system of this Province. One cannot help but be impressed by the immense reservoir of good will among all sections of the Quebec community, particularly among the majority group. However, there are those whose views do not appear, for one reason or other, to coincide with what is so evidently, to us, a just and equitable solution. I am hopeful that we, as a group and as individuals, may become and remain involved in the struggle to achieve for Loyola its proper place in the order of things.

I should like to express our thanks to the administration of Loyola and, in particular, to the Very Reverend Father President who, despite a load of responsibility that would exhaust most men, has always supported our endeavours and encouraged our projects. I am personally grateful for his courtesies and cooperation extended to me throughout the year, and I know you will join me in expressing to him our deepest appreciation.

I should also like to express our thanks to the faculty, some of whom are members of this Association, for their cooperation whenever it has been requested.

Our thanks to Mr. Bernard McCallu.~ and his office staff for their full­time efforts in our behalf. The continuity they provide from year to year, as Directors come and go,doesas much to ensure the successes we achieve and and is of immeasurable assistance to those who bear the responsibility for directing the affairs of this Association.

Finally, I express my deep gratitude to all of the members of the Board of Directors for their support and encouragemant over the past eighteen months. Most of the.m remain on the Board and our new President will find them ef­ficient, effective and most generous with their time and assistance.

REPORT

We have examined the balance sheet of Loyola College as at June 30,

.968 and the related statements of capital account, development fund and income

ind expense, for the year then ended. Our examination included a general review

,f the accounting procedures and such tests of accounting records and other

iupporting evidence as we considered necessary in the circumstances, As is the

:ase in most organizations in receipt of funds by donation, verification of

iuch items was impracticable beyond accounting for amounts recorded in the books

>f the College,

In our opinion these financial statements present fairly the financial

position of the College as at June 30, 1968 and the results of its operations

for the year then ended, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles

applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year.

LOYOLA COLLEGE

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS AT JUNE 30 1 1968

1. Fixed assets except buildings are stated at cost. Buildings are stated

at values _determined in 1956 by appraisal and by reference to municipal

assessments, with additions subsequent to 1956 at cost. No depreciation

has been provided in the accounts for the period ending June 30, 1968.

2. Included in the capital account is $86,814 representing restricted

endowments for scholarships and bursaries.

3. A contingent liability exists under a mortgage loan from the Central

Mortgage & Housing Corporation in the amount of $1,853,306. This loan has

been guaranteed by the Province of Quebec, who are providing the funds

for the repayment of this amount by instalments. It is not anticipated

that the College will be called upon to bear any of the cost of the

repayment, and the full amount of the initial loan of $1,890,000 was

therefore treated as a capital grant from the Quebec Government and

was added to capital account at the time of its receipt.

4. The estimated cost of the Jesuit Fathers' Res.idence is $829,640. The

Jesuit Fathers of Loyola College intend to incorporate separately

from the College during the coming year and acquire the Residence

from the College.

5. Pledges outstanding under the current campaign for funds were approximately

$1,230,000 at June 30, 1968.

6. The Government of Quebec has agreed to provide a grant to Loyola College

before February 7, 1969 in an amount not exceeding $4,000,000 for the

financing of its capital building . programme.
