The Awards CommitteeTHE appearance of the Awards Committee in these pages is aninnovation for Totem readers. Very little is known by themajor portion of the student body about the Awards Committeeor the work which it has to perform. As a branch of Men’sAthletics, the Committee has the duty of granting awards to deserving men. These awards include Honorary Awards, Big Blocks,Small Blocks and Plain Letters.Decisions are based on standards set by the Men’s AthleticAssociation, but rest finally upon the judgment of the Committee.An attempt is made to adhere as nearly as possible to the samestandards from year to year. Perhaps most students do not realizethat time played is not the sole criterion upon which an award isbased. The Committee also considers carefully the type of sportsmanship displayed, and the enthusiasm of the players for the sport.The Committee for the year 1931-32 is composed of GavinDirom, Chairman; Dr. Davidson, Faculty Representative; Dr.Letson, Alumni Representative; Ralph Thomas, Track; BobOsborne, Basketball; Dick Nixon, English Rugby; and ErniePeden, Canadian Rugby.1124 1
