Chancellor Justice Laskin gave the Convocation address (printed in its entirety in this issue). A dinner for the Chancellor and special guests was held at the University following the ceremonies. �Chancellor's Speech Mr. President, Members of the Board and of the Senate, Members of the Faculty, Members of t'1e Graduating Classes, Ladies and Gentlemen: For me, this occasion, this Convocation, t :is ceremony of induction is suffused in remembrar ;e and in sentiment. It is invested with pride and w th exultation. One does not easily escape one's origins; but I c1n say, without reservation, that I have never ma,1e the attempt. The toll of years has not dimmed 1,,y appreciation of my antecedents. Indeed, time f-1s strengthened it; and there is the pleasing reminc-er that comes from a continuing family presence in your midst. But now, what has been a tie at 1019 distance has been converted, through the generous assessment of the President, the Board and the Senate, into a personal affiliation that restores, so to speak, my citizenship of this community. I thank all those associated with my election as Chancellor for the honour they have done me. My duties are ceremonial only; I have the satisfaction and reap the pleasure of conferring degrees and awarding diplomas, without being involved in the arduous - and sometimes even hazardous tasks of administration, tasks that are a necessary prelude to certifying candidates as qualified for graduation. I shall not speculate too much on the reasons that lift the Chancellor of Lakehead University above the maelstrom of events that engulf the Board and the Senate. Whether it be to allow him to act as an unofficial counsellor, able to bring both dispassion and compassion to the consideration of problems that beset the responsible academic administrators; or whether it be simply to ensure his neutrality on academic issues so as to have at least one blameless person in an administrative post, I do not cavil at a system that excludes me from membership of the Board and from membership of the Senate. My own particular circumstances make this a very congenial arrangement. And, in any event, how often is it that one can be part of a university, especially nowadays, where all is pleasure and there is no pain? My roots in university life have been deep. They have successfully withstood my separation as a faculty member almost six years ago; and however formal be my role as Chancellor, the position will surely carry enough nourishment to keep those roots alive and strong. Although I can look back upon more than thirty years of affiliation since entered university as an undergraduate, I do not offer this span of years as a measure of my credentials for occypying this platform. My words will have to be self-supporting if they are to earn any approval. ·• I risk the accusation of triteness in saying that the university - and I speak now of all universities in Canada collectively - has been affecting a II our social institutions. The point of this remark is simply to underline the fact that the one-time privacy of university life has been crushed between the pressures, internal and external, to which it has been subjected. Of course, it was never the whole truth that the university was a private enclave, whether this be related to the financing of its operations or to its teaching and research. There was, for example, (and there still is) a public presence in the Board of Governors, although its role was also a protective one. Yet it is a short recall to the days when Convocation exercises and Convocation addresses were looked upon as the formal means of introducing the graduating student to the world outside the university which had sheltered him and her for three or four or more years. In the past decade, it has become the greater reality that the world in its present state and in its social evolution is very much within the university; and graduation merely represents a readiness to test the fitness of the world to be lived in. What this connotes for me is a greater consciousness of the need to harness our intellectual resources so that we may hit upon the seminal ideas that will lead to the improvement of the human condition and of the social and physical environment. The university is the place where we should arrive at and arrange our ideas before we are moved to action. If it is to perform this function, it must be free of commitment to any particular orthodoxy, and it must not be enveloped in an atmosphere of immediacy. We cannot, of course, be detached from the immediate, from the present; and it would be folly to suggest that the university student be discouraged from involvement in the problems of the day. Indeed it is a fulfillment of one of the purposes of a university to induce such an involvement. I remind you of the words of Plato in The Republic: "You have received a better and more thorough education than those other philosophers, and are more capable of participation in both public life and philosophy. You �I' must, therefore, descend by turns to dwell with the rest of the city." What is good and proper for the student is no less so for the faculty member. The danger, however, to the core of university life - the utmost freedom of inquiry, the search for knowledge, regardless of utility - is that in the concern of faculty and students to improve the present, it may be thought necessary to commit the university itself to particular stances in the realization of a particular set of ideas. It is in objecting to such a view of the meaning of a university that I emphasize the point certainly not an original one with me - that a university is not like a railway or airline timetable, good for such and such routes at such and such times only. I realize that I strike here at a fundamental concern that has generally been expressed in the proposition that the university as an institution of society must itself be relevant to that society and to its problems. As a lawyer and a judge, I am not entirely innocent of the significance of relevance. One's appreciation of relevance must take account of the matter in issue. How it is defined is a telling factor in connection with relevance. Addressed to the university, we must avow what we consider to be its function and its role. For me, it must stand not so much inside society as outside it, able to see it objectively and able, hopefully, to count on society to support this kind of externality. There is, therefore, no call in me for the politicization of the university, no wish to turn it into a social pressure agency, no desire to oblige it to provide social justification for its existence in instant results. All of this is quite consistent with the expansion of university concerns, and with the reorganization of its administrative practices and procedures to embrace the wider spectrum of courses which now characterize its programmes. Indeed, it is a II the more necessary by reason of such expansion and reorganization that the university itself remain open and uncommitted, offering hospitality to diverse beliefs and resisting attempts to force upon it particular conformities, whatever be their source. I am aware of the deep responsibility which such a view of the university places upon professors and students if they are of the kind - as so many are who would take up the challenge of commitment to some desirable social or political end. They must be trusted, of course, to balance their extracurri- cular activism with their obligations under their approved teaching and learning programmes. The clash of interests among professors and among students suggests itself as a factor that supports such a balance; the inner strength of the univer-. sity is the greater in the degree of such diversity. Beyond that, apart from their own self-discipline there is the collective restraint of the institution in which they teach and study. In the past decade, what I may call university order has undergone strain and change. No doubt, the strain was a necessary prelude to change in many universities. Among the results has been a wider sharing of administrative responsibilities, a greater accountability for decision-making, a lessening of, if not an end to discretionary supervision over students. These have helped to make the university more a community than it had hitherto been. The reforms in university administration, in the interrelations of members of faculty, and in the relations of faculty and students have involved, of course, the introduction of new organs, new procedures, new rules of operation. In short, universities have been developing law systems to give the assurance of fairness in their treatment of faculty and of students and in the processing of complaints. I have detected, in my experience with some of these developments, a tendency to go from one extreme to another, that is, to react against the arbitrary discretion that may have existed in some places by seeking to bring all activity under specific rules. It is a hopeless pursuit, in addition to being bad administration. There must be room for the play of judgment, whatever be the machinery by which exercises of judgment are reviewed. This is especially so to sustain the civility of university life, which, I am sure, is one aim upon which we would all agree. I have been general, and perhaps even sober in what I have said. I do have other moods, and will look forward to proving to you on another occasion that your Chancellor is not always as solemn as he may have appeared to you today. The warmth of the welcome I have received assures me that I need not fear that I have not earned my home-coming. I am particularly happy that my predecessor in office, Senator Paterson, Lakehead's first Chancellor, has come to this Convocation. He does me honour by his presence, and it gives me great pleasure to stand in the robes of office which he wore with dignity and grace in his years of service to this university. �Use evenes W88KI~ Association Wednesday June 9 of Municipal Electrical Utilities Conference (June 9-12) meeeings Wednesday June 16 Canadian Mathematical Congress Summer Meeting June 1 6 - 1 8.

The many resource speakers initiated considerable discussion of the changing role of the baccalaureate nurse today, particularly emphasizing the opportunities for extending her role. Mrs. D. Syposz was a member of the planning committee for this conference. □ Six faculty members attended the Registered Nurses Association of Ontario Annual meeting in Toronto, Ontario, April 28th-May 14th. Miss Laura Butler, a lecturer in the School of Nursing, Lakehead University, presided over many of the sessions as President of the R.N.A.O. 1969-71. Concurrent sessions were held on various topics such as "Nursing in the Far North", "Legislation, and Nurses", and "The Chemorphilic Society". Hon. A. B. R. Lawrence was keynote speaker at the Saturday luncheon.

VOLUME:.-3 (' NUMBE~ 2 ...... JIJNE 18, 1971 light-hearted cynic, wherein he endeavours to capture a subtle balance between humour and the weighty social issues of our day. Local Art Talent Ken Campbell was born in Thunder Bay and raised in Peterborough. He returned to the Lakehead three years ago, and has completed the second year in Arts, majoring in Sociology. He plans to carry on in third year if his budding careers as musician and artist permit. He is currently on tour with a local pop group known as "Sunshower", but local people will more readily associate him with some quality art work which he has displayed at the Thunder Bay Fine Arts Show. Mr. Campbell has been painting and sketching for about ten years. His artistic interest has focussed on cartoons si nee about December 1970, when he became dissatisfied with the quality of local cartoons. In addition to about twenty cartoons in the Argus, Mr. Campbell has been published in J ., about ten other university and college student newspapers, including the University of Winnipeg, Dalhousie University, and the Northern Alberta I nstitute of Technology. The quality of his work was noticed by Comcrest, Ltd., who have included Mr. Campbell's work in their series of registered Canadian Talent Prints. According to his agent, Mr. Campbell is the only Canadian producing poster-size editorial cartoons, many of which are available at the Lakehead University Book Store. His father is a naturalist, and Ken Campbell was raised in an atmosphere of respect for nature, and much of his work reflects this background. His editorial approach is that of the Library Technology Project Twenty library technician students from the Lakehead University School of Library Technology will be employed this summer in a Library project entitled: LIBRARY TECHNOLOGY PROJECT FOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL DEVELOPMENT - THUNDER BAY, which involves both the Public and Separate Elementary Schools in the Lake head area. This scheme is sponsored by the Federal Department of State and as part of the Opportunities for Youth Program and is valued at $20,200.00. The students will be employed for a thirteen week period commencing June 1. Officially, the purpose of the project is to assist the elementary schools in the Lakehead, comprising 22,800 pupils, in the setting up of instructional and resource centres where no library facilities exist. These students will be doing inventory, mending, processing, and cataloguing books in addition to setting up vertical and picture files. The first six weeks of the project will be devoted to assessing the exact needs of the various schools and then the actual planning and work in setting up the instructional and resource centres will begin. The students in this project are: Kerrie Atkinson, Laura Benvegnu, Arnold Boulianne, Barbara Campbell, John Chan, Frank Denyes, Luba Domansky, Chris Fallen, Denyse Bergamo, Marlene Hamilton, Harry Huskins, Tom Henshall, Cathy Ladigen, Dan Mahoney, Susan McMurtry, Brenda Percy, Champa Ramjass, Arlene Sim, Laurie Wilson and Nada Zugic. The Consultants for the project are Dr. W. L. C. Greer, former Chief Librarian of the Port Arthur Public Library, and Mr. Maynard Bjorgo, Assistant Professor of Library Science, Lakehead University, and Mr. Jack Malcolm, Learning Materials Co-Ordinator, Lakehead District, Roman Catholic • Separate School Board. Schools participating in this project thus far are: Crawford, Green Acres, Heath Park, Prospect, Sir John A. MacDonald, Shuniah, St. Mary's and St. Paul's. �• Canadian Math Congress The University welcomed delegates from all across Canada to the Canadian Mathematical Congress during the past week, June 16th to June 18th. Highlights of the Conference included the JefferyWilliams Lecture, delivered this year by Professor W. T. Tutte of the University of Waterloo, and the public lecture entitled "Fun With Elementary Geometry" which was presented by Dr. Z. P. Dienes of the University of Sherbrooke. New Athletic Set-Up As of May 1st, 1972, the Western Canada Intercollegiate Athletic Association will be dissolved and replaced by two new autonomous groups. The decision to disband the WCIAA was made at the Association's recent annual meeting in Calgary when Dr. Lou Goodwin, Director of Physical Education of the University of Calgary, was returned as President. The vast geographical area of Western Canada, coupled with expenses. were the key factors which led to the break-up of the WCIAA. For the 1971-72 schedule the organization will operate on a divisional basis prior to incorporation as two independent conferences. Likely universities to be members of the western conference are the Universities of Calgary, Alberta, Lethbridge, British Columbia and Victoria. In the east, Lakehead University of Thunder Bay, Ontario, newly affiliated with WCIAA, will join the Universities of Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Winnipeg and Brandon. courses was changed to June 21st.

Overseas Campuses The Faculty of Arts of Lakehead University will have two satellite campuses in Europe this summer. One is based in England with two centres: one at Corpus Christi College, Oxford University; and one at the Shakespeare Institute of the University of Birmingham. It is the first time Lakehead University has presented courses in Europe, although last year the Department of Languages held a summer session in Spanish in Mexico. Dean Ryan, Faculty of Arts, announced that "in early July, some Lakehead University students embark on two of the most fascinating educational experiences ever undertaken by the University. The first venture, studies in English at Oxford and Stratford-Upon-Avon, has been organized by the Department of English to provide the opportunity for students specializing in English to study Shakespeare and Modem Drama in areas where the Bard of Avon wrote and lived, and where modern drama is alive and expertly presented." Dr. George Merrill, Chairman of the Department of English, Lakehead University, will assume teaching duties for the first three weeks in England, after which the program wi II be continued by Mr. J. Dyroff, also of Lakehead University Department of English. Guest lecturers will be present from the University of Calgary as well as Birmingham University. The students will have the use of all facilities at the University of Caen and four of their weekends will include tours and field trips to places of interest throughout France. Participants wi 11 be lodged separately with French students, and it is expected that this total immersion will help them considerably in learning French and in understanding the language and culture of France. Teenage Drinking According to Dr. A. A. Asimi, Associate Professor of Sociology at Lakehead University, many social problems of today appear to be caused by cultural ambiguity. The historical tradition of North American culture derives its major components from the Puritan code of life. The prevalent way of life, however, is rooted more in the scientific faith, the doctrines of democracy and the spirit of individualism. Social thinking seems to wander somewhere between the objective-material-individualistic on the one hand and subjective-spiritual-communalistic on the other. Choices are not easy. An atmosphere of divided loyalty to these difficult-to-compromise sets of values confound social choices in most of our social acts. Once the academic part of the course is completed, the students have individual plans to tour the United Kingdom and Ireland to further broaden their understanding of English and Irish I iterature. The second of the two overseas programs wi 11 commence in Caen, France, also in early July. Among the courses offered will be credit courses in first, second and third year French. The instructors will be Associate Professor D. W. Lewis, Mr. A. Nabarra and Mr. M. Brial of the Department of Languages at Lakehead University, as well as one instructor from the University of Caen. Almost fifty students will take part in the program which took many months of careful planning on the part of Summer Session officials and members of the French Department of Lakehead University.

A, Asimi In such a cultural climate, young people are socialized not so much into anomie or normlessness as into cultural duplicity or value confusion.Consequently ,chi Idren, when they reach their "teen years", when they are expected to make independent social choices, find themselves confused, directionless, and above all enclosed in a subculture of their own, very nearly abandoned by the larger culture and the older generations. This, in many cases, leaves them bitter and alienated. Dr. Asimi, as a result of a survey which began in 1969 �and involved eight communities, has gained many insights into the way in which this cultural environment affects the drinking behaviour of teenagers in Northwestern Ontario. Following is a summary of some of his conclusions and comments. The level of teenage involvement in drinking in Northwestern Ontario is serious and portends to become even more serious in the future. Nearly 80% of teenagers across the region are non-abstainers, which is 8% higher than the Canadian population in general. More serious is the tendency of many young people, by their own admission, towards problem drinking and alcoholism. There are approximately 500 problem drinkers in eight Northwestern Ontario communities surveyed, while an alarming 2,310 show a high level of proneness to becoming problem drinkers. This is particularly serious when one considers that these people have a drinking career of forty to fifty years st ill ahead of them. Ar, important discovery of Dr. Asimi's research is that no clear evidence has been found to show that teenagers start drinking or are influenced toward further involvement with drinking by other teenagers. On the contrary, the decision to drink, or to develop an involvement with drinking is individually made which in turn prompts companionship and conformity with those who are situationally "in the same boat" and with whom the role can be freely carried out. In other words, peer conformity is more of a consequence of drinking rather than a cause. The primary reasons for teenage drinking relate to a sense of cultural appropriateness of drink1ilg, anticipatory socialization into a "normal" adult role, and a belief in the social and personal benefits of drinking. Adult drinking is common and generally condoned to any degree within the limits of individual manageability. Since teenagers are only one step away from adulthood it is understandable that they should wish to prepare themselves for the role awaiting them in the near future. Teenagers who perceive themselves as being more religious are less involved in drinking than those who consider themselves less religious. Comparatively, there is higher involvement among teenagers from families in the lower income bracket. Occupationally, there is more involvement at the two extremes - teenagers whose fathers are unskilled or semi-skilled workers and teenagers whose fathers are in the managerial, executive, or self-employed class are more involved than those whose fathers are skilled or professional workers. The parents' own involvement has little influence on teenage involvement, but parents' attitudes toward teenage drinking are significantly related to teenage involvement. Satisfaction with family situations tends to make it less likely for a teenager to begin drinking, or to develop a high level of involvement. Any attempt at control I ing teenage drinking must be based on a proper conceptualization of the problem of involvement. In Dr. Asimi's opinion, there are three major aspects of the problem: (1) the legitimacy of drinking per se (2) the desirability of drinking as a socio-cultural form and (3) the easy availability of beverage alcohol. "For what is legitimate (normatively) becomes desirable; what is desirable becomes internalized; and what is internalized is likely to remain both legitimate and desirable (motivationally). Or what is socially desirable often becomes personally needed. Obviously, not all teenagers are seriously involved, but even the small percentage who are should be cause for deep social concern. However, effort at control will remain futile unless the legitimacy and desirability of drinking per se are de-institutionalized through a universal rejection of drinking as a social form - something to be "tolerated" in a residual form but not to be "approved" in any form. Normal, wellmanaged drinking obviously presents no problem. But it is the normal, well-managed drinker who sometimes progresses to problem drinking." Research Agreement An agreement of scientific co-operation has been concluded between the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) and France's Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS). This agreement is effective June 1st, 1971, and will enable laboratories and research groups belonging to, or associated with the CNRS and those belonging to NRC or invited as participants by NRC to collaborate on research problems. The initial programs were established by the Council and CNRS before June 1st. Both NRC and CNRS will make $30,000 available annually to scientists from the other country, this sum to cover I iving expenses as specified in the agreement. �Each research program submitted is to detai l: - the exact nature of the proposed research - the participating research teams - the distribution of work among the participants - the expected cost of the program - the expected time period for which the co-operation wi I.I be needed. Canadian scientists and organizations interested in proposing a research project in which the CNRS would collaborate should submit their applications, taking into account the five headings above, to: Secretary for International Relations National Research Counci I of Canada Montrea I Road Ottawa 7, Ontario.

Research Commission The board of directors of the Association of Universi- ties and Colleges of Canada has approved the estabI i shment of a commission to study, report and make recommendations on the mechanisms, structures and processes required to ensure that research undertakings in the universities of Canada can be planned to serve, without undue duplication, both the advancement of knowledge, and provincial, regional and national development. Without restricting the generality of the foregoing and while taking into account existing documentation, attention wi II be paid to: - the diversity of existing processes within the universities, within provincial systems and within regional groupings by which decisions affecting university research are initiated, implemented and evaluated; - the instruments through which individual, departmental, institutional. provincial, regional and national interests in university research efforts can best be fostered,· - the instruments through which provincial, regional and national interests in university research can be related; - the role of individuals and of groups of scholars in the development of university research programs; - the role of granting agencies, federal and provincial, private and public in university research; - the effect of research sponsored by one jurisdiction on university research supported by another jurisdiction; - any other related matters. The commissioners who have agreed to undertake this study are Dr. J. A. Corry, former principal, Queen's University and Dr. Louis-Philippe Bonneau, vice-rector Laval University. The investigations will begin in July 1971 and will end in June 1972. Inquiries and correspondence concerning the commission should be addressed to Dr. L. F. Michaud, Director of Research, AUCC, 151 SI ater, Ottawa, Canada. Campus Notes Dr. H. Loubat, Associate Professor of the Geology Department of Lakehead University is currently preparing for a research trip in conjunction with Dr. Aumento at Dalhousie University. They will be collecting samples from the floor of the ocean at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

Instrumental Instruction - a non-credit course (July 12th - August 6th) offering individual instruction in piano, string and wind instruments, musical theory and ensemble playing for beginning and advanced students, at a fee of $60.00. Chamber Music Concerts will be offered without charge to all members of the University. For further information, contact the Extension Department (Ext. 210) or the Music Department (Ext. 444 or 344-0631 ). Off-Campus Housing The Off-Campus Housing Bureau is operated in conjunction with the Office of the Dean of Students. Its purpose is to help prospective students to find suitable accommodation while attending Lakehead University. This year, the task is being handled by Miss Susan Duke, who is a resident of Thunder Bay and a fourth year student at Lakehead University. Persons wishing information from the Off-Campus Housing Bureau can either call Miss Duke at Lakehead University, 345-2121, Ext. 726, or come to room UC 0003K, one of the interviewing offices located beneath the Agora. Accommodation listings are presently available for summer school students. Anyone wishing accommodations for the fall, however, will be placed on a mailing list, and will receive the fall listings in August. This procedure must be adopted due to the lack of housing listings for the July and August period. It is hoped that by the end of July there will be more places to offer students of the regular session. Area residents who have accommodations for rent are asked to call the Off-Campus Housing. Accommodations at present are very few. Rooms, room and board, apartments and houses are needed for both the summer and fal I terms.

Volume 3 Number 34 July 9, 1971 President's Annual Report The following is President Tamblyn's Annual Report addressed to the Annual Meeting of the Board of Governors, held on Tuesday, June 29, 1971 in the Senate Chamber of Lakehead University. "Mr. Chairman, Members of the Board of Governors: It is my pleasure and my duty at this time to report to the Board of Governors on the activities of the University during the past year. The academic year 1970/71 at Lakehead University has been one of continued growth and conDr. W. G. Tamblyn tinuing change, of difficulties and, I believe, of progress. The growing pains of any institution are considerable, but they are perhaps more painful in a university, with the delicate balances which must be established and safeguarded in an academic community. L.U. Media Services Admit to Lecture Card is available at the Extension & Summer School Office for those who have not yet received one. ENROI_MENT Before dealing with the difficulties and progress which we have experienced this year, I would like to outline some aspects of growth and change by means of some relevant statistics. Full-time enrolment increased over the previous year by more than fifteen per cent, rising from 2,599 undergraduates and 42 graduates to 2,876 undergraduates and 57 graduates. Enrolment by part-time students has also continued to grow, from a total of 2,480 students in 1969/70 to a total of 2,613 in the current year. This includes students enrolled in evening classes during the fall and winter, students in spring term and summer term, and students who I ive in the smaller communities of Northwestern Ontario �and are able to pursue university-level studies because of our Extension Program. This year the University offered twenty-two credit courses in thirteen different locations within a three hundred mile radius of Thunder Bay . Growth is also measured in a university by the number of degrees and diplomas which it awards. At our first Convocation, in 1965, a total of 76 degrees and diplomas were granted. Last year this number had risen to 712, while in the current year a total of 771 degrees, diplomas, and certificates were conferred. This constitutes a ten-fold increase in the size of our graduating class in just six years. CAPITAL PROJl:ClS The University has attempted to keep pace with developments in academic programs, enrolment, and research, by providing additional physical facilities as required. Although the Board is familiar with the details of the University's capital program, I would like to briefly summarize the major components of the program at this time. Work is currently in progress on the 40,000 square foot academic building with an estimated total cost of $2.5 million. Phase One of the extension to the Athletic Building, valued at $550,000 is also underway. Work on the power house extension, the installation of additional power house equipment, and utilities extension, are all in progress at an estimated cost total of $1.8 million. Site Services during the past fiscal year, which included the dam, the lake, landscaping and site development, were valued at approximately $1 .2 million. Preliminary approval has been received from the Government for a major renovation to the Faculty of Education building, with an estimated cost of $250,000. The Government's decision not to approve our planned extension to the Library building has necessitated the construction of a temporary structure, at a cost of $105,000, which will provide essential classroom and office space for the coming academic year as wel I as meeting Library growth needs unti I the original Library extension project is reactivated. Work is in progress in the Library building relative to the eventual removal from that building of those non--Library functions which wi 11 go to the Academic Building. This work is providing, in the main, additional space for the Library operation. There is also a Capital Project of the order of $212,000 to cover alterations to our present structures, primarily in the Main Building, for the purpose of upgrading facilities consistent with our needs. Finally, tenders will be solicited in early July on Phase Two of the Athletic Building extension, although no final decision re the construction of this extension has yet been made. This phase will include an olympic-size swimming pool with ancillary functions, at an estimated total cost of $1.7 million. The project facilities are designed for joint use by Confederation College and the Community in general, as wel I as the University. The City of Thunder Bay has tied its annual grant to the University to this specific project, while the Provincial Government has indicated that it is prepared to assist in the financing if there is a guarantee that the facility will serve the needs of both the University and the College. Negotiations with the College in these matters are in progress." NEW PROGRAMS This year, as in the past, a great deal of time and effort has been devoted to the further extension and development of existing academic programs, and to the preparation of new programs. The University has received the necessary approval from Government bodies to offer the complete four-year degree program in Forestry. As you all know, only the first two years of this program have been available here in the past, and our Forestry students were forced to transfer to another university to complete their studies . The third year of the Forestry Program will commence this September, with the fourth and final year to be added in 1972. Another new addition to commence this September is the Bachelor of Liberal Science program which has been designed to meet the growing academic and career needs of students for a general education which includes a strong base in Science. DIFFICULTIES $)me of the difficulties which we have faced this past year have been the cause of considerable pubI icity and comment in the local community and even in Toronto. I believe, however. that our problems are much similar to those experienced by many other Canadian universities. We feel our difficulties very acutely here, perhaps because we are still in the process of establishing procedures for a wide variety of eventualities. The non-renewal of the probationary contract of a faculty member in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology was the spark for some disruption on campus this year. The faculty member concerned was a leading participant in a month-long sit-in in the Administrative Wing of the University Centre, which saw a smal I number of students and nonstudents demanding immediate concessions which would have had the effect of threatening the internal checks and balances of the University in the area of contractual arrangements. As a result of these �pressures and actions, the University Senate estab1ished an Ad Hoc Committee to review the validity of the reasons for the non-renewal of contract. You have all received a copy of the Ad Hoc Committee's ~ep<;>rt, and of the Senate motions endorsing their findings that the reasons for dismissal were accurate and val id and that the decision not to renew the contract was just and had fol lowed due process. cuss. a particular matter of mutual concern. If such meetings produce no other result, they will allow members of the two senior governing bodies the opportunity to acquire an understanding of each other's perspective. I do not believe that the difficulties associated with this faculty member have weakened our institution. The problem was met rationally and resolved. The University community bore witness to its cap~city to acc?mmodate within itself differing opinions and actions. The demonstration remained peaceful and was not al lowed to escalate to vio1ence, as has so frequently occurred elsewhere. I would not go so far as to suggest that the experience was beneficial, but I do suggest it has helped_ to ~ake us aware of our growing maturity as a un1vers1ty. WRIGHT COMMISSION The final Report on the Wright Commission on PostSecondary Education in Ontario has still to be presented to the University. The effects of that Report might well prove to be far-reaching insofar as the future development of this University and of our ~ister institution, the Confederation College of Applied Arts and Technology, is concerned. It must be admitted, however, that regardless of the final outcome, the Wright Cammi ssion has served as an impetus for co-operation between these two institutions. Dialogue and co-ordination were not created by the Wright Commission, but they were no doubt accelerated by the activities of that body. However, there is a pressing need to examine the fu~damental relationships among the various const1tuen~ parts of the University community, and the respective roles of the Board of Governors and the Senate. There is a very real danger that one or more particular factions within the community might seek to take unto itself ultimate authority over a broad range of m_atters without being aware of, or capable of assuming, the responsibilities involved. It 1s my personal opinion that many members of the University community are only too willing to assume authority, but at the same time show that their se~se ?f responsibility does not encompass the ~n1vers1ty as _a whole but rather is narrowly confined to a particular segment of the institution. PROGRESS I mentioned earlier, Mr. Chairman, that there were indications that the University had not only grown during the past year, but had al so progressed. I think that the quality of our faculty and of the academic programs which they conduct is a very real measure of our development as a University. The integration of our Faculty of Education, though not without its stresses and difficulties, has resulted in the availability for the people of this region of a number of programs in professional teacher training. The manner in which the University community dealt with some of the serious chal lenges of this past year is also a sign of our developing maturity. The questions of a proper structure for a university, o! the proper balance among the parts of a university, and of the proper role for the administrators of a univ~rsity, a~e not merely local problems - they are questions ~h1ch trouble all universities. A year ago we established a Commission on University ~overnmental ~rganization which was representative of the various segments of the University. The ~ork ?f t~is Commission was interrupted by the 1nvest1gat1on of post-secondary education in Northwest~rn Ontario by a Provincial Commission. The possible results and recommendations of this Provincial Commission notwithstanding, I believe that we must reactivate our own Commission and proceed with the examination of our internal structures. In the interim period, it would perhaps be advantageous to hold periodic joint meetings of the Executive Committees of the Board of Governors and of the Senate, similar to one held recently to dis- The period of accelerated physical expansion is now coming to an end. Our rate of growth, though sti 11 substantial, wi 11 be at such a I evel that we wi 11 have a greater opportunity to concentrate our attention on qualitative development. In this new period we are now entering, we are fortunate to have men such as the Honourable Mr. Justice Bora Laskin, our new Chancellor, and Dr. Donald Eldon, our new vice-President. These are men whose experience and wisdom will prove to be major assets. And finally, Mr. Chairman, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the members of the Board of Governors, and in particular to yourself and the members of the Executive Committee, for the constant support, understanding, and guidance which were extended to me during this past year.

Its purpose is to give people, particularly parents and teachers, sufficient insight into the nature of human sexuality so that they can I ive happier I ives and create healthier learning situations for their children and students. According to Father Leo Lafreniere, pioneer of the Family Life Program in Thunder Bay, "sexuality has always been shrouded in mystery. The most wonderful accomplishment of a man and a woman, the procreation of a child, remained a mystery until about fifty years ago." Because of its necessary role in the survival of the human race, "sexuality has always been associated with a religion which made laws and regulations to protect it." But these laws were always based on religious belief rather than on a clear picture of human sexuality. For example, Old Testament Jews emphasized procreation in order to generate a Messiah. Many early Christians, on the other hand, looked upon sex as a danger- �.I . l ous physical diversion which tended to impede spiritual pursuits. As a result, religion instigated many taboos and fostered unnecessary gui It because of its ignorance of the nature of sex and sexuality. Although it emphasized the holiness of marital union, the Christian religion never came to grips with the purposes of the sexual act before the present century. Insights came gradually. Around A.O. 400, St. Augustine revived emphasis on procreation. A thousand years later, St. Thomas Aquina wrote: ..... to impel man to the act whereby the deficiency of the species is aided, God put delight in copulation." But it was not until 1930 that the Christian Church officially recognized all aims of sexual intercourse, including the procreation and education of children, the expression of love, and the satisfaction of personal needs. Ham Field "Day" According to Jim Wheeler of Engineering, the University Amateur Radio Station along with several staff and students took part in the A.R.R.L. Emergency Field "Day", June 26/27. Amateurs throughout North America and al I American territories hit the hi II s to operate fortwenty-seven ( 27) hours under emergency conditions, i.e. NO HYDRO ... just portable generators and any equipment you can carry to the site, "We 'set up' at Lake Shebandowan and managed to stay awake and 'on the air' the full 27 hours. The issue in the twentieth century involves controlling the rate of birth rather than "aiding the deficiency of of the species." The current sexua I revolution is a quest for values. Now that facts about sex are common knowledge, younger people demand to know how to act. There is a genera I need for understanding of our sexuality, of our maleness and femaleness, so that we can accept ourselves for what we are and so that we can relate more readily and more responsibly within our families. The Family Life Program, by exposing people to expert judgements on sex and sexuality, and through encouraging dialogue and discussion, purposes to promote understanding and acceptance of sex and sexuality in human life. The program cannot deny its moral basis ( i.e., a genuine respect and concern for self and others), but it does exclude biased preaching from any religious point of view. Other Universities The appointment of Mr. B. R. James, B.A., C.A., as Assistant Vice-President Administration of McMaster University has been announced by Dr. H. G. Thode, President of the University. Mr. James will act as deputy to D. M. Hedden, Vice-President Administration, and have special responsibilities in the area of finance. The Honourable Emmett Matthew Hall, Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada, has been appointed Chancellor of the University of Guelph, President W. C. Winegard has announced. Justice Hall, who succeeded the Honourable George Drew when he retired on June 30th, wi II be installed at the fall Convocation of the University in October. As you can see, our antennas weren't very artistic but they kept us busy putting them up and taking them down as the frequencies changed. We passed over 750 messages in the name of good ol' LU during the period. We set out to beat the University of Saskatchewan VE5-US, last year's Canadian Champs. Since it takes several months to tallyall the results we are still just hoping. Next year we may forget about this year's difficulties and want to do it again." Students wishing to register opinions or suggestions regarding University food services are urged to contact the office of the Dean of Students. �I, An Office of Library Coordination, designed to guide and develop a wide range of cooperative activities among the provincially-assisted university libraries in Ontario, has been created by the Counci I of Ontario Uni vers iti es. The aim is to achieve a system of academic libraries which are essentially self-sufficient in providing service for undergraduates, and which are effectively interdependent in serving graduate students, faculty and research needs. The Council has requested that the Office give high priority to an investigation of centralized technical processing and its alternatives. Cost studies wi 11 be conducted on acquisitions, cataloguing, reC.ords, production, shelf preparation, and related services in university libraries. In the examination of alternatives, the experience of university users and other information on existing processing centres will be studied. The targeted completion date for the investigation is late spring 1972. Bicultural Exchange Lakehead University is pleased to announce that it will be one of seven Ontario Universities featuring indepth studies of Canada's two official languages this summer. The Summer Language Bursary Program was initiated by the Federal Government and is administered by the provincial departments of education . Each student accepted under the program wi 11 receive a bursary of $550 to defray a 11 costs of the six week program. English-speaking students will experience rigorous study of the French language and culture. Frenchspeaking students will have an opportunity to immerse themselves into the language and customs of English Canadians. The program at Lakehead University wi 11 involve thirty English-speaking students frnm across Canada, who wi 11 study under Mr. Andre Cloutier of the University's French Department. Also, thirty French-speaking students from post-secondary institutions in Quebec wi 11 study English under r>r. M. A. Colina . Not only will students learn in morning and afternoon classroom sessions, but they will also find it necessary to put their learning to work, as they are expected to conduct their daily life in the language they are studying. In their daily instruction the students will have full access to all facilities of the University's Language Department. Al I audio-visual equipment in the Language Labs will be utilized; also, the library is expected to be of great benefit to a 11 the students involved. The program at Lakehead University is being admini;:;tered through the office of the Dean of Students, as well as that of the Director of Extension and Summer School. Everyone involved in the program is optimistic about this unique opportunity to give Canadian students a better understanding of Canada, and the problems presented by Canada's biculturalism. Book Preparation Dr. Gerhard P. Knapp, Assistant Professor of German, has been awarded a research grant from the Chancellor's Fund. In cooperation with various outstanding experts in Canada, the United States and Germany, he is preparing the publication of a book on Friedrich Durrenmatt, the well-known Swiss Dramatist. Among the contributing scholars is Dr. A. A. Scholl, Assistant Professor of French. Dr . Knapp expects the publication of this study in the coming year. He has also recently published an article on Francis Bacon's theories of method and invention in the well-known periodical "Zeitschrift fu'r Philosophische Forschung". Privacy Threatened? The 40th Annual Couchiching Conference on public affairs takes place at Geneva Park, Ontario, between August 4th and 8th, 1971. This conference will examine whether individual privacy is being threatened by social and technological changes and, if so, what steps might be taken to safeguard our privacy. Government officials, academicians, businessmen, I awyers, authors and journalists wi 11 participate as speakers and panelists during the five day conference which will examine such areas as Privacy, the Law, and Law Enforcement; Computers and "The Dossder Di lemma"; Privacy and the Media; and Privacy and Urban Life. The keynote address and summary discussions wi 11 be handled by Dr. Alan F. Westin, Professor of Public Law and Government at Columbia University and a world authority on the subject.

They are Canadian Studies, Theatre Arts and Industrial Relations. The Canadian Studies program leads to a Bachelor of Arts Degree in English with concentration in Canadian I iterature and related subjects. It is open to students who have a basic understanding of the English and French languages and who meet the entrance requirements of the Department of English of Lakehead University. Courses offered by the Department of English would necessari I y be comp I emented by relevant, Canadiancontent courses in Sociology, Anthropology, History, Economics and Poli ti cal Science. Dr. George Merrill, Chairman of the Department of English, commented that the knowledge, understanding and appreciation of Canadian thought and culture gleaned from this course of studies would prepare people for careers in government where an awareness of bilingualism and biculturalism becomes increasingI y important. The Department of English al so announces a new Theatre Arts program, presented in association with Confederation College. It will be a four-year program leading to a Bachelor of Arts Degree in English with a special diploma in Theatre Arts. The first two years wi II be spent following electives leading to a degree in English at the University, with emphasis on the study of classic dramatic works. Practical experience will be gained at Confederation • College in the third year when students will learn through lectures and theatre workshops. The course will be concluded in a fourth year of study at the University. The Department of Economics announces a new interdisciplinary program in lndustri al Relations, wherein courses in Economics will be complemented by relevant studies in Political Science, Psychology and Sociology. This·,interdisciplinary module leads to an Honours Bachelor of Arts Degree in Economics with a concentration in lndustri al Relations. Every year of the program will be offered this fall. Therefore, students at the University who wish to transfer into the courseare asked to contact Dr. Chris A. Jecchin is of the Department of Economics. This program is designed to prepare people for careers NUMBER 36 DEC AUGUSf 12,1971 in industry, or in government services where a detailed knowledge of industrial relations, personnel management, manpower planning, or human resources development is required. Commenting on the relevance of such programs, Professor Tim Ryan, Dean of the Faculty of Arts, states that he is particularly pleased to see the development of a special study of Canada, and in particular the encouragement of the French language as a vital part of the Canadian Studies program. He is also gratified, as Vice-chairman of the Board of Governors of Confederation College, to witness the continuing development of cooperation between the College and Lakehead University, such as in the Theatre Arts program. Dean Ryan sees the Industrial Relations program as especially relevant in the community of Thunder Bay, and he is hopeful that many adult residents will participate. "As in any new program", says Dean Ryan, "there are bound to be some bugs. However we feel that we are making a solid endeavour to provide a wider range of coherent courses of study of unquestionable benefit." Feasibility Study In February of this year, Dr. R.A. Ross, Dean of the Faculty of Science at Lakehead University announced that he had received a grant of $25,000 from the Nationa I Research Council of Canada to finance a feasibility study regarding the location of an area-oriented research centre in Applied Sci enc es at Lakehead University. At the time, Dr. Ross had hoped to acqui-re the services of a "senior scientist" who would carry out such a study in the period of one year. It would appear that the project could not have attracted a more eminently qualified man than Dr. Norman S. Grace, who has recently arrived at the University. A graduate and gold medalist from the Uni versity of Saskatchewan, Dr. Grace received his Ph.D. from the Dr. Norman S.. Grace �University of London in 1931. After Post-Doctoral work at the University of California, he joined the Physics Department of the University of Toronto in 1933. Since 1935, he has been a professional research chemist, mainly with the Dunlop Company, until his retirement last year. Throughout his distinguished carrer, Dr. Grace has been a leader in the industrial and scientific community. For example, he is a Past-President of the Chemical Institute of Canada, and first President of the Association of the Scientific Engineering and Technological Community of Canada, a ·novel Canadian organization dedicated to coordinating the efforts of the scientific community in Canada toward keeping the government and the public expertly infor.med with regard to scientific solutions to pressing human probI ems such as pollution, and the need for wisdom in the allocation of our human and natural resources. Dr. Grace approaches this specific feasibility study in the context of his vast experience, and in the Ii ght of Canada's needs today. He is presently concerned with determining the uniqueness of Thunder Bay and the Region of Northwestern Ontario, so that he can evaluate our potential for contributing to Canada and the world in the area of interdi sci pl inary scientific research on the broadest conceiveable scale. In Pursuit of Accµracy Dr. J. David Martin, Associate Professor of Sociology, has just published a paper on sociological measurement in the American Sociological Review, which is widely regarded as the leading forum for publications in sociology. The article, written by Dr. Martin and Dr. iLouis N. Gray of Washington State University, is entitled "Measurement of Relative Variation: Sociological examples." The article deals with the prob! em of measuring variables, such as group consensus and power balance or imbalance, which are best expressed in terms of variability rather than in terms of average values. Basketball Camp The conventional measures for such variables are simple dispersion statistics, which do not ·allow for differences in the central tendency or average value of the things measured, and Dr. J. D. Martin a "Coefficient of Variation" computed by dividing such a statistic by a measure of central tendency. In order to avoid interference with the pre-season football training the evening session of the Lakehead University Basketball Camp has been moved up one week to August 23-27. Late applications will be accepted. Those interested should cal I Coach Howard B. Lockhart at 344-8974 or 344-2262. The evening session will begin at7 and finish at 10 p.m. In their paper, Ors. Martin and Gray point out that the common interpretation of the coefficient of variation as a zero-to-one measure is incorrect. They present a correction formula which generates a measure that ranges from zero to one. The advantages of having this range include comparability and ease of interpretation; any value can be compared with any other because all values are proportions of the maximum possible variation. Whatever Dr. Grace's findings, the University and the community at large can be confident that they will be based on a clear and complete picture of the area. Other Universities Brock University Board of Governors has confirmed that Dr. A.J. Earp, Provost and Vice-President, wi II serve as Chief Executive Officer with the additional title of Acting President during the one-year I eave-ofabsence recently approved for Dr. J.A. Gibson. Martin and Gray are currently working on a second paper dealing with this topic. The "Coefficient of Variation" can be properly applied to only a I imited cl ass of data, and therefore they are designing a measure to be used where the "Coefficient of Variation" is inappropriate. New L.U. Registrar Dr. W.G. Tamblyn, President of Lakehead University, �is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. W. John McDonnel I to the position of Registrar. As Registrar, Mr. McDonnell will report to the University's recently appointed Vice-President, Dr. Donald Eldon, and wi II be responsible for advising on academic regulations, for the admission and registration of all students, for advising students concerning their academic programs, for the maintenance of appropriate records, for the scheduling of lectures and examinations,for liaison with secondary schools, and for other related duties. applicants. Both during and after the admission period the Centre will prepare extensive statistics on admissions patterns. Mr. McDonnell is a chemist with many years of university teaching experience, and he brings to his new position considerable administrative experience. He was Dean of Freshmen and Admissions at Loyola College (Montreal) for two years; Dean of Arts, Science and Commerce at Loyola for five years; Director of Faculty Research atCanisius College(Buffalo, r'IL.Y.) for three years; and Di rector of Graduate Fellowships and scholarships at Canisius for eight years. Mr. McDonnel I has al so had many years of experience in student counselling. Colin B. Mackay, former President of the University of New Brunswick and a former President of the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada, has been appointed Executive Director of the AUCC. He succeeds Mr. Geoffrey Andrew, who has occupied the position since 1962. Mr. McDonnell received his B.A. in Science at Loyola College and his M.A. in Chemistry at the University of Toronto. He has al so a Ph.L. in Philosophy and the S.TL in Theology, both from Regis College. Mr. McDonnell will arrive at the University in mid-August. Application Centre The Council of Ontario Universities has appointed Mr. H.W. Pettipiere as Director of a new Ontario Universities' Application Centre. Mr. Pettipiere was the author of a report prepared for the Council on the design and operation of the Centre. Problems of multiple applications and acceptances have increasingly caused difficulty under existing procedures. By funneling all applications for admi ssion to any of the Ontario universities through the Application Centre such problems can be eliminated. The Application Centre wi II be managed under the Council of Ontario Universities as a collective venture. The basic functions of the Centre will be to receive and record applications, decisions taken by universities concerning applicants, and student acceptances of offers of admission. The Centre will also provide a means to put qualified but unplaced Ontario students in touch with universities which have places available, and at the end of the admission period, will be able to advise universities about students not placed so that steps may be taken to accommodate the maximum possible number of qualified The Centre is being financed during its developmental year by a special grant of $150,000 from the Depart• ment of University Affairs. In subsequent years the costs wi II be borne by the uni versi ti es. AUCC Executive Director Dr. Mackay, who assumed his duties on July 1, is responsible to the Board for the affairs of the AUCC. In particularhe directs the affairs of the association's secretariat, located in Ottawa. As Executive Director, he also serves as a member of the Board of Directors. Lakehead Wrestling Camp From August 23-27 and August 30 to September 3, 1971, the Faculty of Education Gymnasium at Lakehead University will be the site of a physical activities program for boys interested in wrestling. No previous wrestling experience is necessary. The program will include other sports besides wrestI ing and will keep the participants very active from 1: 30 to 5 :00 p. m. each afternoon.

Born and educated in the Maritimes, Mr. Haggerty graduated in Forestry from the University of New Brunswick . Upon graduation he accepted a position with the Marathon Corporation . In 1951, he joined the Lakehead Technical In• sti tute as a I ecturer in Forestry. He accepted JACK HAGGERTY responsibility for the Forestry program in 1957. When the School of Forestry was established at the University in 1965, he was appointed Chairman, in which position he held the rank of Associate Professor in Forestry. Throughout his 20 years of association with Lakehead University, the School of Forestry was his primary concern . He was not only dedicated to maintaining high standards, but he was also a driving force behind the expansion of the Forestry program to full degree status . Largely as a result of his efforts, this has finally been achieved . The appointment of additional staff was announced by Mr. Haggerty only last week . His loss will be felt deeply in the community, particularly at the University, where fruits of his leadership in the School of Forestry wi 11 always be a tribute to him . L.U. Parking Regulations On August 25, 1971, the Board of Governors of Lakehead University adopted traffic and parking regulations which wi II become effective on campus on September 1, 1971. "The purpose of these regulations is to facilitate the safe and orderly conduct of University traffic and parking and to provide services within the limits of.available space and facilities" . Copies of the Lakehead University Traffic and Parking Regulations 1971-1972 are being sent to all fulltime and part-time Faculty and Staff members and copies will be provided to all students during Regis- tration . Copies are also avaI a e at e ecunty Office, Room UC0003G .These regulations apply to all persons operating and parking a motorized vehicle on campus . The following are excerpts from the Regulations: ... Free parking is available in the lots in front of the Faculty of Education (lot 9) and adjacent to the Athletics Building ( lot 10) . ... Al I persons are required to obtain an authorized parking permit for any motorized vehicle which they wish to park on University property, with the following exceptions: (i) permits are not required for parking in lots 9 and 10 (the lots in front of the Faculty of Education and adjacent to the Athletics Building, respectively) . (ii) permits are not required for parking on University property between the hours of 7:30 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. Monday through Friday and at any time on Saturday, Sunday and official holidays. ... The following are the types of regular parking permits and the parking fee corresponding to each for 1971 /72 . $10.00 Faculty/ Staff Vehicle 10.00 Full-time Student Vehicle 10.00 Residence Student Vehicle 5.00 Part-time Student Vehicle Motorcycle, scooter, etc. 5.00 Visitors' Vehicle ( unlimited entry) 10.00 ... A temporary visitor's permit may be purchased at the time of entry onto the campus for a fee of 25¢ and wi 11 be va Ii d for the date issued. ...

Vehicles which are parked on fire access routes, illegally parked in reserved or service areas, obstructing the passage of emergency or service vehicles, blocking entrances or in any other way impeding proper traffic movement, shal I be towed off campus. If such action is necessary, the operator and/or owner of the vehicle wi II be responsible for all costs involved. ... These traffic regulations are in effect twenty-four hours per day. Parking permits may be obtained at the Accounts Office upon submission of the completed appl ication form and payment of the required fee. It is hoped that a 11 Fae uI ty and Staff members wi 11 obtain their permits prior to Registration in order to avoid long waiting lines when the students are here for Registration . The parking permits must be obtained by September 15. �Academic Building The construction currently underway adjacent to the Main Building and the Library is known as the Academic Building . It will house faculty offices and classrooms; and it will serve all faculties in the University . It includes classrooms in a multitude of shapes and sizes designed to complement current approaches to learning. For example, there are three "case study" rooms which feature horse-shoe shaped, teired tab I e•tops wherein attention is focused on the centre of the room from every vantage point. Academic Building Temporary Structure The building is designed to accommodate additions to i tse If, so that it can serve as a link in planned expansion which may eventual I y connect the Facu I ty of Education Building with the Current campus . It is to be completed for September 1972. As a result of cut-backs on the Provincial level, the University was forced into building a tempor• ary structure adjacent to the Library for the purpose of housing non•academic functions formerly located in the Library . The structure consists of one lecture theatre, two 1 seminar rooms and administrative offices . The entire interior is flexible so that partitions can be Irearranged for any purpose. When original plans for expanding the Library are reactivated, the temporary structure can be dismantled to be sold or re- used by the University . Athleti< Power House ·Complex Construction around the current Power House Complex represents expansion of power facilities to adequately supply the needs of a rapidly growing University in the areas of electricity, heating, chilled water for air conditioning, domestic water, and sewage disposal. Temporary Structure A second smoke-stack, a fourth boiler and additional air conditioning towers have been completed, or are under construction . �I, Completion of current projects will enable the Power House Complex to service considerably more square feet than we have at present. More additions, therefore, are not planned for the immediate future. Athletic Facilities Current construction around the Fieldhouse represent~ the third and final stage in construction of athletic facilities at Lakehead University. It features an olympic swimming pool, fifty meters long with six lanes. However, it also includes three squash courts, one general purpose training room suitable for gymnastics or dance exercises, a smaller room primarily for wrestling, and two classrooms . Outside ancillary facilities will include tennis courts and a learner's ski hill . This stage is slated for completion by September, 1972. The first stage in construction Power House Complex included a competition basketball court, offices for the Athletic Department, and minimal ancillary facilities . The second stage expanded facilities to accommodate the third stage; including shower faci I ities and a structural base for the third stage teaching facility. The swimming pool has been financed jointly by Confederation College, the City of Thunder Bay, and Lakehead University . And the facilities will be available to the entire community . Education Addition I ities This building was originally built by the Ontario Department of Public Works for the Department of Education . It was designed to educate teachers in the tradi tiona I way, so that the building resembles a conventiona I high school. The building is now woefully out of date. The addition to the east end wi 11 house a I ibrary on the second floor, with offices and classrooms below. Remodelling of the existing structure is also underway . For example, labs which served home economics and technical shops have been converted to a science lab area . Education Addition �W88KILl even~s mee~ings Arts and Crafts Campus Notes For the p~st several years non-credit programs in arts and crafts have been developing on the University campus . The Faculty of Arts is pleased to announce that this year, due to the dedication of a group of local artists and University officials, the Aesthetics Society, Incorporated, has come into beo ing on Campus and in the community . • Dr. J . S. Griffith, Associate Professor of Mathematics, has been invited to the United States Naval Observatory, Washington D.C. for a week of consultative talks in September on cooperative work in Celestial Mechanics . The main topic will be the extension of the theory of the motion of the Moon to match the precision of present day observations (laser ranging, spacecraft doppler, radar ranging) . Dr. Griffith is the sole representative from Canada on the United States Ephemeris Working Group, which was established to coordinate research on the orbital motion of the planets and satellites . The Aesthetics Society has a number of objectives, the foremost of which is to provide competent instruction in the arts for al I interested students and citizens of Thunder Bay and surrounding districts . Their aspirations lie in painting, pottery, and in a gallery where loca I artists' works may be exhibited . In the case of painting, they wish to set up a workshop which would be run on a year-round basis instead of just concurrent with the University's academic year. This would allow more members of the community, and in particular school children, to receive quality instruction in the use of charcoal, ink, watercolour and acrylics . With respect to pottery, the Aesthetics Society is anxious to see citizens of Northwestern Ontario given the opportunity to develop skills which have traditionally been lacking in this area . Approximately fifty students studied this past year at the facilities avai labl.e at the University . The program was a resounding success and the workshop instructor, Mrs . Jerri ' Ashby was discouraged only by the fact that some people who showed interest could not be accommodated due to the lack of resources . It is the aim of the Aesthetics Society to make provisions such that no person should be held back from developing his artistic ski 11 s and interests. The third ai n, of their program is the establishment of a permanent gallery to display the works of young artists. The gallery would also provide space to display work from all over Canada . The program will function at the University this year under the directorship of Ray Andrews in painting and Mrs . Jerri Ashby in the pottery workshops. Both courses wi II include demonstrations of different materials, various equipment, and novel techniques in painting and sculpting. It is hoped that those taking the courses wi 11 attempt more than one type of work. The pottery program wi 11 feature a Saturday morning children's workshop with the purpose of generating a local interest in art and an opportunity for creative expression from the earliest possible age. • Mr. A.

What if he hadn't run into the Nobel Laureate on the back stairs at Harvard? What ifhe hadn't been playing with some malfunctioning chemicals in a photo lab one evening? And most importantly, what if, as a new student from Hong Kong, he hadn't met Donald Ayre in Montreal,just as Ayre was leaving to take up a job as registrar of Lakehead? "My life would have been completely different," agrees Dominic. The way it turned out, he went on to become a leading expert on the human eye and to invent a groundbreaking procedure for preventing secondary cataracts that made him financially independent. At the same time, Dominic's artistic sensibility led him to create a new art form, known as Chromoskedasic Painting, and he has held exhibitions as an artist all over the world, with pieces selling for up to US$1 million. He has received the U.S. Presidential Medal of Merit, and counts former president George H.W. Bush among his friends. Devoted now to art and philanthropy, Dominic created the World Eye Organization, a self-funded charity that is building eye treatment centres all over China and aims to go global. Yet he still stays on the cutting edge of science by pushing forward with what could be a huge boon for the 21st century: edible vaccines for animals and humans. "This is what education at a university like Lakehead gives you -you learn to take calculated risks." - Dominic Man-Kit Lam And all of this began with Lakehead, where his undergraduate years shaped him into the truly exceptional and unconventional individual he has become. Or, as Dominic offers with a laugh, "fearless and sometimes reckless." Dominic is the kind of person who makes an instant and deep impression on people, particularly highly-educated people. "Brilliant" is the word they usually use. That showed early on when the Lakehead University 1 �China-born, Hong Kong-raised teenager talked his way into a top-notch Jesuit school in Hong Kong during a meeting with the vice-principal, Fr. A. Deignan. This in tum led to a scholarship to Montreal's Jesuit-run Loyola University, where Dominic arrived in September 1964 at the age of 16. Dominic, who calls himself "an impatient person," always seemed to be in a hurry. In his first week in Canada, he discovered that you could do your undergraduate degree in three years in Ontario, unlike the four needed in Quebec. So he met with Ayre, just finishing as registrar at Loyola and Ayre - impressed - accepted him at Lakehead. Dominic jumped on a train for Port Arthur and, within two weeks of landing in Canada, was ensconced at Mrs. Robinson's boarding house and had a new Fort William City scholarship. "I had a really wonderful education at Lakehead," Dominic says. "I chose math as a major, because if I took liberal arts, I would have had to write essays and read a lot of books. Science would have meant many hours of lab work. Math is basically logic, and if you know it, it doesn't take much study." The calculating student still had to take English, though, and he fondly remembers learning Chaucer and the classics from the late John Rideout, chair of the English department and a Rhodes Scholar. Mathematics Professor Emeritus John Whitfield recalls Dominic as "quite an academic force. He stood out in all his classes. Anyone who met him was impressed with his scholarship." But it was his math instructor, now Professor Emeritus William Eames, and his physics professor, the late David Frood, who would prove instrumental in setting him on his path. "It's quite important in your formative years to have great teachers like these," says Dominic. Eames was a highly After receiving his HBS cfrom Lakehead in just threeyears, Dominic 1vent on to earn degrees from the Universiry ef British Columbia, the Universiry ef Toronto, and afaculty position at Harvard Medical School in record-breaking times. supportive presence in math, while Frood, he says, "was the inspiration for me to go into physics." During his nearly three years in Port Arthur, the man in a hurry managed to: 1) hold down two jobs - at Canada Post sorting mail during the week and at a Chinese restaurant on weekends; 2) become a table tennis star, starting on campus and ending up as Ontario university singles champion - Professor Emeritus George Ozburn describes watching Dominic play "like watching the Olympic competitions - really spectacular;" 3) join the Lakehead basketball team, and 4) play guitar and sing in jam sessions in local bars for pocket money. Oh yes, and 5) study, giving him the first-class marks to enter the University of British Columbia for his MSc in theoretical physics, as Frood had urged. "You got to know everybody at Lakehead and these were some of the most joyful years of my life," says Dominic. "It really shaped my future." Dominics contributions to science, medicine, art, philanthropy and business, earned him the admiration ef former US. President George H. W Bush, 1vho invited Dominic to be a member ef the Presidents Committee on the Arts and Humanities in 1988 and to have a one-man sh0111 in 2003 at the George Bush Library and Museum. 2 Lakehead University The following May, he was back at Lakehead to teach a summer course in physics, having completed his MSc in eight months. Then it was off to the University of �Dominic's charity, the World Eye Organization, is givingpeople back their vision and their independence l?J preventing and treating rye diseases in poor and isolated regions. Dominic has also been involved with the "F/ying Eye Hospital" kn01vn as Pro/ect Orbis since 1980. This photo was taken in Guangzhou at the 30th anniversary ef Orbis in China in 2012. Toronto, where, fascinated by genetics and the contributions physics could make to medicine, he polished off a PhD in medical biophysics in a little over a year, getting a waiver to do so. At just 22, he was Dr. Lam. "I sized him up pretty quickly. He is obviously a very brilliant person." - Torsten Wiesel, Nobel Laureate Where next? Backed by a prestigious federal Centennial Award, he had a list of top universities to visit about doing a post-doc and chose Harvard Medical School as his first stop. But at Harvard he was devastated to learn that the world-leading visual scientists he was there to meet, Torsten Wiesel and David Hubel, had not yet come back from a trip. Expecting to move on to Cambridge or Cal Tech, Dominic was walking down the stairs when he ran into just-returned Wiesel coming up. The two went out for dinner, Wiesel was impressed, and a mentorship was born. "I sized him up pretty quickly. He is obviously a very brilliant person," says Wiesel, who with Canadian-born Hubel won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1981 for breakthroughs in visual information processing. Now 90 and president emeritus of Rockefeller University, Wiesel is still in regular touch with Dominic and often visited China with him. "He has a way of engaging himself in things and engaging other people in his interests and passions," says Wiesel. "He is one of the most dynamic and friendly people you could meet. He is constantly on the move, in science and in art." Although Dominic had been doing Chinese painting since he was six, his parents opposed any thought of him taking up brush strokes for a living. "If I could not be a visual artist," he often says, "I decided I would be a visual scientist." Under Wiesel and Hubel at Harvard, Dominic reached that goal, becoming a neuroscientist specializing in vision and joining the Harvard faculty at age 24. But it wasn't long before he was head-hunted as a professor of ophthalmology by Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas. "I feel very blessed that I have been able to use the commercial value of my visual art and the expertise of my visual science to help the visually impaired." - Dominic Man-Kit Lam There Dominic invented a drug against secondary cataract, helped create a cluster of private and academic research centres, took his own company public, and became lionized as "the father of Texas biotechnology." By 1988, he was financially independent and ready to pursue his other dreams. As part of his research at Baylor, Dominic took black and white photographs of the eye. On that what-if night in the darkroom in 1980, he failed to mix the photo solutions and found colours suddenly appearing on the paper. "I got excited, and very curious," he says. It later took him and Kodak's B. Rossiter an entire article in Scientific American (November, 1991) to explain exactly how this phenomenon Lakehead University 3 �occurs, but Dominic turned it into an art form - dubbed Chromoskedasic Painting, meaning "light scattering" - that can produce giant, vividly colourful images. Two samples of his paintings now hang in China's famed Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, where many visiting heads of state stay in Beijing. At Baylor, too, Dominic worked with David Paton, chair of ophthalmology and founder of the renowned Project Orbis, in which a fully equipped airplane, the "Flying Eye Hospital," travels the world helping eye patients. Dominic, who got Paton to visit China, was inspired by his example. In 1999, when he moved back to Hong Kong, Dominic established his own charity. The World Eye Organization now runs nine eye hospitals treating rural people across China, with more planned. Dominic channels the income from his paintings, as well as other sources, to the organization. "I feel very blessed that I have been able to use the commercial value of my visual art and the expertise of my visual science to help the visually impaired," he says. "It's like a trinity of bliss." And there is more to come. Some 20 years ago, Dominic published his first journal article on the feasibility of edible vaccines, then conceived as being incorporated genetically into fruits and vegetables, to target animal and human diseases, from influenza to hepatitis B. This novel production and delivery method would be safe and far more efficient than costly and cumbersome injections, especially in developing countries. Even his two children - son Fong, now a pediatrics professor at Baylor, and daughter Yee, now a lawyer in Los Angeles - got involved in the research during high school. The patented idea was hailed by Time magazine in 2001 as one of the most important inventions for the new century. "You know, to be truly exceptional and unconventional, you actually have to be bold because with most major discoveries, people might laugh at you for 20 years." - Dominic Man-Kit Lam Recently, amid the controversy over genetically modified organisms, Dominic and his colleagues have turned to vaccines embedded in lactobacteria and contained in rice-sized pellets, mixed with animal feed, as the delivery method. This year, he received the first patent on the technology from Chinese authorities, who he hopes will soon approve its use against avian flu in chickens. "Animals will be much faster," he says, "but we are targeting five to IO years for making a health-food hepatitis B preventative for humans, maybe in tomato juice." Dominic observes that in science, "asking the right question is often the key to a breakthrough." Lakehead's belief in teaching people how to think, not what to think, resonates deeply with him. Dominic and his children 1ee (I) and Fong (r) at a Christmas party in 2014. Thry have theirfather's energy and drive and thry have become accomplished prefessionals in their respective fields of law and pediatrics. 4 Lakehead University "You know, to be truly exceptional and unconventional, you actually have to be bold," he says. "Because with most major discoveries, people might laugh at you for 20 years. So you have to be brave and not worry about what people think. This is what education at a university like Lakehead gives you - you learn to take calculated risks. You know it's exceptional, you know it's unconventional, but you figure that the odds are on your side." 50th Anniversary Memories Dominic Man-Kit Lam will receive an honorary Doctor of Science degree at Lakehead's 2015 Convocation. We asked him four questions about his experience at the University. What was your favourite song while you were at Lakehead? "Windmills of your Mind" by Noel Harrison. It was so romantic yet so philosophical. Even mathematical "Round, like a circle in a spiral..." Was there a particular course or professor that made a difference for you? Professor William Eames in Mathematics. He gave me a lot of confidence. I chose math because it was easy for me, but it turned out that math is also the queen of sciences and the basis of logical thinking. What is your most vivid Lakehead University memory? One of them is riding the train from Montreal for 24 hours to get to Lakehead. The registrar, Donald Ayre, met me at the station. This was very touching to me. I didn't know where to go or where to stay. He helped me get settled. What are your thoughts on Lakehead's 50th Anniversary? I'm very excited to be part of this event, and most appreciative and grateful to the faculty for honouring me. I'm also very impressed that the medical school spends a lot of time training students to work in rural areas and among Aboriginal people. In China, too, it is very difficult to get doctors to work outside the cities. Lakehead is setting an excellent example for the rest of the world. -- Berton Woodward �Dominic Man-Kit Lam A LAKEHEAD JOURNEY In 2012, Dominic was invited by the International Olympic Committee to paint "Millennium Olympic Odyssey: From the Great Wall to River Thames," which was exhibited at the Barbican Centre, London, during the Olympic Games - it was also awarded a gold medal at the Olympic Fine Arts Exhibition. Doing a test in mathematics class one day, Dominic Man-Kit Lam remembers getting 100%. Nice enough, but it was the response of his Lakehead University math professor, William Eames, that he recalls most vividly. "I wish I could give you 105," Dominic remembers Eames saying. "Your solution was more elegant than mine." For a boy still in his mid-teens, that was a tremendously supportive thing to hear. "It gave me a lot of confidence." Dominic Lam likes to say he was shaped by Lakehead. But in some ways, you could say Dominic helped shape Lakehead. After all, when Dominic arrived in September 1964 at age 16, Northwestern Ontario's key educational institution - now celebrating its 50th anniversary - was only just becoming a university. Previously it had been the Lakehead College of Arts, Science and Technology, and it conferred its first degrees in 1965, at the end of Dominic's first year. Back then, there were about 400 students and 40 faculty, and Dominic was the first international student. "He was quite an academic force," remembers John Whitfield, a retired Lakehead mathematics professor and a former senior member of the administration who served as acting president for a year. "He stood out in all his classes. Anyone who met him was impressed with his scholarship." And that can mean a lot to an institution that is still forming. "Lakehead was very young at that time," says Whitfield. "We were just developing and feeling our way. To have students like Dominic come - especially from Lakehead University S �Dominic's MSc thesis 'The Gravitating Effect of Gravitation" (1967) and his invention of Chromoskedasic Painting (1980) have led him to interpret the universe through his art. (Above is Dominic's 2015 painting '54. Better Tomorro1v: Companion.''.) afar - lent a great deal to the stature and credibility of the University. He was probably the brightest student we'd had to that date. So he really made an impact on how we grew from that point." Today, of course, Lakehead is a major university with more than 8,500 students on two campuses, more than 300 faculty and 50,000 alumni. It ranks second in Ontario among primarily undergraduate institutions in the widely watched Maclean 's rankings, and eighth in the country. It gets especially high marks for its strong support for research and its low student/faculty ratio. "Lakehead has grown into a significant university in the country," says Whitfield. "Having guys like Dominic around in those early days helped us realize what the potential could be." Dominic was also a nice guy to have around, according to Whitfield. "He was a pleasant young man who got along well with faculty and fellow students. It's not easy sometimes for very bright students, but I had the impression he was well-liked. In the smaller upper-year classes, Dominic always seemed to bring a sense of joy and happiness to the class." Dominic remains grateful that he chose to study mathematics at Lakehead under professors like Eames and Whitfield. "My mathematics training was really important," he says. "I greatly encourage anyone, no matter what they want to be in life, to major in math. It is the basis of logical thinking." Dominic am·ved at Lakehead at the tender age of 16 to mqjor in mathematics. 6 Lakehead University During his studies, Dominic recalls, he became interested in Einstein's relativity theory, and went on to do his master's in theoretical physics at the urging of his Lakehead physics professor, David Frood. "In the first three months, before I even took my courses at the University of British Columbia, I did my thesis on 'The Gravitating Effect of Gravitation' under Prof. F. Kaempfer," says Dominic. "If it had not been for my mathematics training, I would not have been able to do that." "Math turned out to be better than anything else I could have chosen. If I had done physics, I would have been limited to physical sciences. If I had studied biology, I would have been limited to biology. But if you study math, you are not limited." "In the smaller upper-year classes, Dominic always seemed to bring a sense of joy and happiness to the class." - Professor Emeritus John Whitfield That solid grounding, leading to his physics MSc and his medical biophysics PhD, served him well at Harvard, where he studied visual and neural science for his post-doc under neurophysiologist Torsten Wiesel, who won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1981 with colleague David Hubel. "Dominic's background in physics was good because as a physicist you think differently," says Wiesel. "I often like to work with physicists because they have a way of asking questions which are different from biologists. If you make it in physics," says �'Dr.Lam, 'Witn 6est wislies ant£ appreciation, Dominic, dubbed the 'father of Texas btotechnology," was awarded a US. Presidential Medal of Merit and also received this thank you note from the Republican Presidential Task Force for his achievements. Wiesel with a laugh, "you are better than average." Wiesel notes something else about his student and longtime friend, drawing an example from Dominic's sojourn at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas. "When he was at Baylor, he had an amazing orchid garden, one of the best collections in the country," says Wiesel. "That's another aspect of Dominic. If he gets interested in something, there is no end to his passion. He wants to be the best." Indeed, when people are good at one thing, they're often good at a lot of things. At Lakehead, Dominic excelled at math and physics, of course. Later he would show off his talents in art, business, science, and philanthropy. But his other big strength as an undergrad was table tennis. By his second year, Dominic dominated Lakehead's table tennis competitions, becoming campus champion in singles and doubles, and he qualified for the Ontario Inter-Collegiate Athletic Association tournament held in Toronto. Professor Emeritus George Ozburn remembers that journey well. Ozburn, who taught biology and zoology, also coached Lakehead's squash team, whose tournament was held in Toronto at the same time. 6 pm on a Thursday. They had to be in Toronto - about 1,400 kilometres to the southeast - the next day, which meant driving all night and arranging ahead for gas stations to be open in the wee hours. At one point, a policeman stopped them to tell them the road was too icy to proceed, but after they told him they had to get to "Dominic was a standout table tennis player, bar none," says Ozburn. "Watching him play was like watching the Olympic competitions - really spectacular. Nobody could get a point from him." Driving to Toronto in the winter of 1966 was "the trip from hell," he chuckles. Ozburn, Dominic, and four squash players piled into a rented bench-seat Pontiac three in the front, three in the back - at Dominic with actor Jackie Chan Lakehead University 7 �Toronto for their matches, "he said, 'OK, just make sure you keep it on the road,"' recalls Ozburn. "I don't think they'd do that today." They arrived in Toronto by 3 pm Friday and played their tournaments at York University's Glendon College. "Dominic cleaned up in table tennis," says Ozburn. By Sunday, Dominic was the Ontario university singles champion (the squash team won their provincial title as well). Then they got in the Pontiac and drove back to Lakehead in time for class on Monday. While in Toronto, they also managed to have two great Chinese meals, thanks to Dominic. "He seemed to know the places," recalls Ozburn. "Authentic Chinese food, as he would say." 15,000-square-foot gym and an eight-lane swimming pool. But facilities were limited when Dominic attended, notes Ozburn. "And being as bright as he was, he was still committed to his education first." Dominic was not the only international student at Lakehead during his time there. Two of his friends from the Salesian School in Hong Kong, where he did his lower grades, also spent a year at the university - and both went on to major prominence in the Hong Kong business arena in later life. Henry Cheng Kar-Shun and Douglas Chan Wing-Tak studied business administration at Lakehead. Dominic, who is tall, also played basketball at Lakehead. " I remember scoring the critical two points from the foul line," he says. "It won the game." At the time, Henry's father, Cheng Yu-Tung, had established himself in the jewellery business and was turning to real estate. That enterprise became the New World Development Group, a major property firm in Hong Kong, and when he retired in 2012, Cheng Yu-Tung was listed by Bloomberg Business magazine as the world's 34th richest man. These days Lakehead boasts state-of-theart sport and fitness facilities, including a lfenry succeeded his father as chairman of New World, and Douglas wor_ked in the company as a managing director for many years. Dominic remains in touch with both men and is currently creating "Iridescent Gold" art works and jewellery in collaboration with the Cheng family's Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Group, now the world's largest jewellery company. Having reconnected with Henry and Douglas at Lakehead, Dominic says, "we became lifelong friends." Dominic also credits his brother Louis for giving him important support ever since his Harvard days. Louis joined Dominic in Boston at age 15 and followed him to Houston, where both raised families. Louis now serves as president of the World Eye Organization (where actor Jackie Chan chairs the international advisory board) and other Lam organizations. "Louis not only has a very good intellect and diligence but also exceptional emotional intelligence," says Dominic. "I would not be able to do many of my projects without him." Nor, arguably, without the grounding he got as an undergraduate. Today, Lakehead may be a much larger and more sophisticated university than it was in those early days. But Whitfield, who sits on Lakehead's 50th Anniversary Task Force, sees a continuum across the years. "Dominic and others made a significant contribution to setting the standards for the institution in terms of the kind of students we wanted to develop," he says. "Now, 50 years later, essentially we still want to do the same thing. People like Dominic are a powerful example of the fact that it can be done and that Lakehead is doing it." "That's another aspect of Dominic. If he gets interested in something, there is no end to his passion. He wants to be the best." - Torsten Wiesel, Nobel Laureate In 1981, Dominic, his daughter Yee, his son Fong, his brother Louis, and their mother gathered at Dominic} greenhouse in Houston. 8 Lakehead University ��~ Lakehead UNIVERSITY Internationa I � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Although it looks like an ordinary document - one of the many universities turn out with predictable regularity - even quickly leafing through its pages makes it clear that this Strategic Plan is anything but ordinary. It's a framework that will foster intellectual and human connections and give students the tools to construct their own destiny. It's not surprising that Lakehead's collective vision for the next five years is a bold one. Since moving to Northwestern Ontario more than twenty years ago, I've learned that innovation and resourcefulness is a way of life here. And this spirit is also rooted in the hearts of those who call Simcoe County home. Thank you to all the faculty, staff, students, alumni, and broader community members who have engaged in the consultation process. While completing the Strategic Plan is a major milestone, we know that this is just the start. With your commitment and hard work, we will ensure that Lakehead is a place where scientists, philosophers, engineers, and fearless dreamers come together to and sustain our world. Cameron Clark Chair, Board of Governors Lakehead University Stiategic Plan - 2013-18- �L E T T E R from the p R E S I D E N T and Vice-Chancellor The Strategic Plan for 2013-18 has gone through different iterations, alterations, and revisions. And this is a good thing because it means that Lakehead is being responsive to the aspirations of everyone connected to this dynamic university and true to itself. By listening to many voices, we have created a plan that embraces Lakehead's tradition of encouraging students and faculty to explore big questions and find original solutions - and taken it several steps further. Our stakeholders should expect no less from an institution that revolves around experiential and collaborative learning. Now it is time to launch the strategic actions laid out in this plan. This complex process will be carried out in concert with our Academic and operational plans and will result in vibrant community partnerships, strong social justice initiatives, and greater economic development for Northwestern Ontario and Simcoe County. The challenges Lakehead University has set for itself may seem daunting, choosing the road less travelled often does. But our cutting-edge excellence in teaching, research, and community service ensures that these are challenges we are more than ready to take on. Brian J. R. Stevenson, PhD President and Vice-Chancellor Lakehead University Strategic Plan - 2013-18 - 2 �OVERVIEW T his Strategic Plan is the culmination of a twoyear process that began in January 2011 when Lakehead's Board of Governors first turned their attention to laying the groundwork for the 2013 to 2018 period. Their initial efforts became the draft Strategic Plan which was released for comment in April 2012. From April until November, the Board of Governors and senior administration engaged the entire University, and the broader communities in both Thunder Bay and Orillia, in a discussion aimed at defining a fresh vision for Lakehead University. The consultation was a resounding success, resulting in a plan that is more complete, more nuanced, and more attuned to the University community. It is also one that continues to support the dual governance model of Board and Senate. Among the highlights of the consultation process, led by Board Chair Cameron Clark, were over �50 meetings with students, faculty, staff, alumni, and community members. The Board was rewarded with the diverse perspectives of these key stakeholders as well as those of individuals unconnected to the University who took the time and trouble to read the plan online and forward their thoughts. The ideas the Board received have been incorporated into the updated plan and will help shape the direction of the University. The evolution of the Strategic Plan also coincided with a major re-branding initiative designed to identify what we value as an organization. The responses to the simultaneous branding consultation formed the basis of a new Vision and Mission, unveiled for the first time in this Strategic Plan. These core elements of Lakehead's approach to learning and scholarship have been enhanced by a Belief statement revolving around the heartfelt conviction that, "Our students make Lakehead University different." The task of writing the plan is now complete and the Mission, Vision, and Belief statements are firmly in place. But this achievement is just the beginning. The Board of Governors is ready to lead the implementation of the plan's five strategic actions and nearly 50 initiatives on behalf of the entire University community. And when we celebrate our 50th anniversary in 2015, we will also be celebrating a transformed Lakehead. 4 - Strategic Plan - 2013-18 �., V IS IQ N To provide a transformative university experience that is far from ordinary. To be recognized as an innovative comprehensive MISSION university that provides an education that is about how to think, not what to think. We believe our students make Lakehead University different. We believe that our students want an innovative comprehensive university where they have the highest chance of success. We believe that our students have the passion and drive to BELIEF realize their dreams and succeed. We believe that our students want the intellectual freedom to pursue the unconventional. We believe in the diversity that comes from our students of many cultures and many nations. We believe that our students are passionate about both their own individuality and their communities. We believe in our students. '\ Strategic Plan - 2013-18 - 5 �WHY DO WE NEED A STRATEGIC PLAN? Strategic planning is an evolving process that begins by defining a collective and worldly vision for the future that reflects the dreams and The Strategic Plan provides clear measures for success and establishes the basis for monitoring actions of Lakehead's 10,000 students, faculty, and staff, and 50,000 alumni. As we approach our 50th anniversary in 2015, the Strategic Plan offers a way to consolidate our achievements and show the world that we are a place that creates unconventional thinkers who are transforming the way we live. By charting Lakehead's direction and the goals it seeks to achieve, the Strategic Plan provides clear measures for success and establishes the basis for monitoring and accountability. That is the task of this document. The Strategic Plan becomes reality through operational plans, like the Academic Plan, which articulate how the vision is to be realized, and and accountability. integrated planning and budgeting which establishes and funds priorities. This Strategic Plan is built around five major interrelated and interconnected components. They should be seen not as directions, or even as pillars, but rather as interlocking circles. A clear sign of their interdependence is the fact that many of our initiatives support more than one component. 6 - Strategic Plan - 2013-18 �Fierce pride in our students and the determination to see them • succeed sets Lakehead apart. This is evident in everything from our new mission to the exciting changes we have made over Growth & Capacity Development the last decade including the opening of the Orillia campus, the establishment of the Northern Ontario School of Medicine (NOSM), and the approval of the new Faculty of Law. These changes are enhancing Lakehead's reputation and attracting increasing numbers of students from southern Ontario, throughout Canada, and across the world. Community Engagement Nurturing Scholarship Economic Development At the same time we recognize that the next decade will bring a major set of challenges and opportunities - working within budget constraints, fostering sustainability, maintaining comprehensiveness, and responding to the needs and aspirations of an increasingly diverse and technologically-savvy student body. Lakehead must also meet our partners' expectations that we take Learner-Centred Student Experience the lead in facilitating social justice, greater access to education, and economic development.

Our third challenge is symbolized by the Commission on the Reform of The previous Strategic Plan made comprehensiveness a major priority Ontario's Public Services, known also as the Drummond Report (http:// and with the new Faculty of Law, Lakehead now has the breadth of a www.fin.gov.on.ca/en/reformcommission/).

It is Universities also nurture arts and culture and provide students with the interaction between these motivations that brings the University's essential skills and knowledge. The final challenge is wedding the mission, and this Strategic Plan, to life. Strategic Plan - 2013-18- 9 �THE F RAM E WO R K FORTH E F UT U RE Nurturing Scholarship Teaching, research, and service form the three pillars upon which universities achieve their twin objectives of expanding and communicating knowledge. The term scholarship was chosen for this direction because it accurately reflects the Board's belief that teaching and research, although they may be seen as separate activities, are inextricably linked and driven by a common focus on learning. Learner-Centred Student Experience The lakehead Experience must flow both from its history and its mission. Increasing diversity and a clear commitment to helping students succeed will create a transformative student experience. Lakehead University offers unrivaled opportunities for life experiences that are far from ordinary. A clear example of this is the active student involvement in Lakehead's varsity athletics program and the program's strong community relationships. The University itself, through the dual focus on one-stop services and giving students the tools to carve their own unique path to success will bring additional richness to the lakehead Experience. Growth and Capacity Development The Board anticipates that by 2018, major new initiatives to attract and keep international, Aboriginal, and graduate students, coupled with the University's successful undergraduate and graduate programs, will result in an overall enrolment of 10,000 students. As a result, lakehead University will be broader, deeper, and more sustainable. 10 - Strategic Plan - 2013-18 �.... ... Community Engagement At the heart of this component is Lakehead's desire for a relationship with the community. The plan will build a stronger, more vibrant relationship with the community through a "knowledge commons" and a commitment to students who face barriers to postsecondary education. A critical element is expanding working relationships with Aboriginal groups, school boards, municipal governments, non-profit groups, private businesses, and alumni. A comprehensive external relations plan that prepares the University to enter into a significant campaign is integral to greater community engagement. Economic Development Lakehead is directly involved with economic development in four major ways beginning with the positive financial impact on the community stemming from the purchasing and spending of University staff, faculty, and students. We provide trained graduates for new jobs created by the knowledge economy. Our faculty and staff enrich the community through their active involvement and support of art, music, culture, and recreation. Our research fosters innovation that will lead to the emergence of new companies and new industries. This component recognizes these benefits are part of the University's raison d'etre and not simply an accidental by-product.
