'40 PhD - Claude Bissell, president of the
U of Toronto since 1958, was the subject
of an article in "The Canadian," the magazine
section of The Gazette. Accounting to
the article, Bissell views universities as "custodians
of the excellent." "University campuses
are producing a generation of pocket
Leonardos . . ." On student radicals: "Such
students are often confused and occasionally
arrogant, but better this than apathy or
cynicism." But radical romanticism, he says,
can lead to "a denial of intelligence, to an
emotional anarchy that in the past has been
the prelude to political and social darkness."

track of that guy!
Now for what I wanted to say. During
the very enjoyable and only occasionally
hectic five years as president of this noble
class, I had the pleasure of working with
some grand guys and I want to take this
opportunity to make known my appreciation
of their cooperation. First of all comes
Bart Bartholomew, a dedicated and inspired
guy who literally singlehandeclly brought
this great class up to the position it now
enjoys. Then Ken Randall and Craig Kin*-
ball, without whose help all would have
been for naught. Ken's assistance in my
work and Craig's handling of the sometimes
serious, but usually solvent, money
matters certainly deserve mention. And
then, of course, Reed Seely, who did such
a grand job at our 25th. I've never known
such an ambitious guy. My most sincere
thanks go to these men who did so much
during those five years to make my job the
