The Mace shyits anatomy As symbols of tradition the mace of the University of Guelph incorporates many di ffe rent ma terials and a wide range of armorial bea rings and meaningful designs that have been melded into an extremel y elegant and attractive piece of art

Upon examination its hard to believe that donor mate rials came from such unlikely places as a roo f an arch a farm tool and a piece of farm maciJinery

Designed and executed by H arold E Muller a G uelph artist and metal craftsman the mace was presented to the Univers ity by the citizens of Guelph for the Universitys first convocation in 1965

by Mary Cocivera

Macdonald Institute owed its existence toa stubborn and p rsuasive woman and an enlightened benefactor

At the turn of the century Mrs Adelaide Hood less of Stoney Creek was fervently dedicated to creating better opmiddotportunitics for teaching homemaking to Canadian rural women Her infant son had died needlessly from a contaminated milk supply and she was determined to prevent similar tragedies by educating rural women

She started in Hamilton by establishing programs to teach household science through the YWCA and later through the schoo]system but soon realized that she needed to extend this service Her major

stumbling block financial backing was

conquered by convincing philanthropist Sir William Macdonald of the Macdonald Tobacco Co of Montreal to include teacher training in home economics in the Macdonald Movement The movement was dedicated to improving the educational opportunities of rural Canadians who at that time numbered about 60 per cent of the population

Sir William set aside $175000 to build an institute for nature study manual training domestic science and domestic art H is donation ultimately ran to $182000 and that timely investment erected two red brick buildings By 1903 the Macdonald Institute building and an adjacent residence Macdonald Hall were completed Within two years the residence was full - an indication that the new program was readily accepted by the families of Ontario and the D ominion

T he first brochure from Macdonald Institute announced three programs a twoshyyear program in home economics for teachers and programs in manual training and nature study The young women in the first graduating class in 1904 practised teaching in the Macdonald Consolidated

Mary Urie WGlson Lady Principal Macdonald Institute 1903 to 1920 and head of the Home Economics Department

School a mere stones-throw from the Institute The School also built with a gift from Sir William was an attempt to encourage the consolidation of rural schools across Canada and to introd uce some of the new educational ideas of the day ature study was viewed by progressive educators as a more rational approach that appealed to

Adelaide Hoodless of Stoney Creek

the natural interests and activities of childhood The innovators were bucking the traditional methods of filling the mind with forms which are often equally meaningless and useless to the learner

An early form of professional development was offered through the Institute Teachers could enrol in a threeshymonth program and learn how to introduce some of the innovative ideas into their classrooms

For students not intending to teach the program in home economics offered emphasis on the practical rather than the theoretical Courses included such subjects as millinery dairying and poultry raising In its own way the Institute met the needs of Canadian rural women who managed the

home and garden churned their own butter and perhaps sold eggs for household money

O ne of the most popular early short courses - the three-month course in domestic science - emphasized practical work It soon came to be known as the diamond ring course and apparently succeeded in this unofficial objective

The Ontario Agricultural College since its founding has helped to raise agriculture to the stature of a science noted an early observer but few efforts were made to dignify the household duties of wife and daughter by raising these also to the rank of a science Macdonald Institute attempted to do just that

Our image of women in the early twentieth century being tied to their homes is shattered by the comments of those early students A Mac girl from 1905 noted in the OAC Review Let us glance backward from our present standpoint to the days when the womans place was essentially in the home O bviously not all the M ac students were interested in the diamond ring course

The vision of the original founders proved a solid foundation for a developing institution They gave the Institute the scope

and freedom to evolve with the times - and its this flexibility that has kept the Institute and later the College as relevant in each decade as it was at its founding

Through the following decades Macdonald Institute continued offering one and two-year programs The nonshyprofessional courses taught the basics of home management the two-year courses in home economics prepared teachers of household science for Ontario schools and the professional housekeeper was a forerunner of institutional management The enrolment at OA C had its ups and downs but Macdonald Institute managed to maintain a consistently high enrolment By 1930 another residence Watson H all was constructed to house more young women attending Macdonald Institute

Activities across campus attracted the interest of these young women In the Literary Society they touched on such controversial political subjects as womens sufferage T heir enthusiasm for sports belied their demure ladylike photos Reportedly ground hockey ice hockey basketball ice skating snowshoeing baseball and tumbling broke the study routine

The Mac girls soon established their role in campus traditions They prepared lunches and offered baby-sitting for the annual farm and home week Daisy chains appeared at graduation and the annual maypole celebration and Halloween dance were apparently highlights of the year Fashions changed with the season as hems alternately dragged on the floor then bared the thigh A student of the twenties declared knitting an obsolete sport of the middle ages but by the early fifties the click of knitting needles accompanied each and every gathering

World War II brought an abrupt halt to the M acdonald Institute programs The buildings were used for a cookery school a nd wireless school fo r C ommonwealth armed forces The Textiles and Design building erected during this time as a temporary building remains as a reminder of the Institutes war-time service

When the Institute reopened after the war it faced a changed world and its faculty sought to establish programs that would continue to serve the needs of Canadians

A four-year BH Sc degree program was implemented in 1948 and the degrees were awarded through the University of Toronto The role of research in home economics was recognized and some facilities for research were provided in a new wing The wing also housed home management apartments until 1970 when they were converted to offices for the rapidly growing faculty for the newly established BASc degree program

The founding of the University of Guelph provided yet another opportunity to re-evaluate the Institutes role in the contemporary world Research was further encouraged and the first graduate degrees awarded The Institute was recognized as one college within a supportive and varied university setting and from 1965 on the degrees awarded were from the University of GueJph

By 1968 D r Margaret McCready who served as dean for 20 years and made innumerable contributions to developing a contemporary college of home economics was nearing retirement and the opportunity arose for a thorough look at the programs offered then and in the future

Dr McCready appointed Deanshydesignate Janet Wardlaw and a faculty

In j 968 Dean Dr M argarel McCready (Ierl) andDean-designale Dr Janel Wardlaw

committee to prepare a comprehensive report on the future direction of the College Their vision - as innovative as Sir Williams vision in J902 - called for an applied science program that would focus on the needs of consumers and families in Canadian society Macdonald Institute thus stepped into the seventies as a very modern C ollege of Family and Consumer Studies The enrolment of this College has grown to 1400 men and women

Toda ys College brings together a diverse faculty from many disciplines including sociologists textile scientists nutritionists a housing consultant an architect child development specialists family finance counsellors social workers psychologists and food chemists among others They find common ground for collaboration study discu ssion and stimulating exchange for ideas

The concept is indeed progressive for they do not educate carbon copies of themselves to find careers in esta blished traditional disciplines They are dedicated to an education that will enable the graduates to effectively tackle the interdisciplinary problems in todays complex society Undergraduates in the Bachelor of Applied Science program get a solid background in the biological physical and behavioural sciences with further study in one offour areas family studies child studies consumer studies or applied human nutrition

As the Colleges founders predicted the University provides supportive disciplines fAe students take courses across the campus in subjects as diverse as drama animal science politics and modern dance

A combination of theory and practice and an emphasis on concepts sets the BASc program apart from other university programs across Canada When the graduates enter the career world they have practical information at their finger tips yet their thorough grounding in theory facilita tes lea rning in a ny career sit ua tio n

Research plays an ever increasing role in the College Beca use of close association with academics from varied disciplines faculty tend to focus on family - or consumer-oriented problems rather than discipline-defined concerns More often

6

than not several academics with different training and perspectives tackle a problem The give and take of fresh ideas and their different approaches can lead to interesting and unique solutions to some of the nagging issues in society today Examples of current faculty research projects include personality and language development in young children attitudes of adolescents toward contraceptives loneliness among old age pensioners and use of textiles for noise control

Graduate programs leading to M Sc and Ph D degrees are founded on the strong research component in the College These post grad uate programs offer specializat ion a nd the opportunity for original research in consumer products services or behaviour food administration textile science applied human nutrition and family studies

Yet another innovative development in the Colleges 75-year evolution was the founding of the new School of Hotel and Food Administration offering the first fourshyyear degree program of its kind in Canada The Schools enrolment now stands at 350 students and its graduates have moved into all levels of the Canadian hospitality industry These alumni are rapidly establishshying a national reputation for the School

History has come full circle The Hotel and Food Administration building added to the acdonald Institute building was financed by the hospitality industry and the Macdonald Stewart Foundation a charitable foundation carrying on the philanthropic work of Sir William Aptly named Macdonald Stewart Hall the HAFA building was officially opened in 1975 by David Macdonald Stewart President of the foundation H e continues Sir Williams tradition and re-asserts his forward philosophy of education

Today the young men and women in F ACS may feel light years away from nature study and manual training but in many ways they carryon S ir Williams goal to improve the status of the Canadian family The graduates like the College have expanded their horizons and are now entering such diverse career areas as law social work research product design nutritional educashytion food service management housing management and the hospitality industry

T he next 75 years will certainly bring further changes in the emphasis and content of the Colleges programs It is a tribute to the men and women of vision throughout the history of the College that this 75-year-old institution contributes as much in 1978 as it did in 1903 Sir Williams $ 182000 gift has multiplied many times over and the impact

has been felt not only in North America but throughout the world 0

Elizabeth (Landels) Casselman Mac 36 Because she understood she established a scholarship

The late Elizabeth (Landels) Casselman graduated with the M acdonald Institute diploma class of 36 after experiencing the difficulties of financing an ed ucation during the depression of the 30s

Memories of those years of st ruggle motivated her many years later to extend a financial helping hand to students who might be in the same situation

That helping hand reached out last year to Betty Wilson a FACS semester five student majoring in C hild Studies who was the first recipient of the S 1000 Eliza beth Landels Casselman Scholarship

Established as an ann ual undergrad ua te award funded by the interest from a generous bequest from M rs Casselmans estate the scholarship will be limited to C ollege of Family and Consumer Studies students entering the fifth semester of the BASc program with an A standing Preference will be given to a student showing potential for excellence and leadership in educational endeavours

A teacher for all of her working life Mrs Casselman attended normal school in Calgary and then taught for three years in ungraded country schools for a tiny salary from which she carefully saved in order to attend Macd onald l nsti t ute

Following graduat ion she started a long and successful career teaching home

economics in Calgary and continued studies at the niversit o f Washington She also completed a BEd deg ree at the University of Alberta

Specializing in fabrics and dress throughout her career she was recognized as one who never relaxed high and demanding standards established during her years at

Elizabeth (Landels) Casselman rei iredrom teaching in Calgary in 1971

Macdonald Institute Countless students who attended her classes have expressed their appreciation for her dedication to excellence

In 197 I M rs Casselman took an ea rly retirement so that she might travel more extensively It was during a F riendship Tour with a group of Alberta teachers to the Peoples Republic of China that she suffered a fatal heart attack at Sian Shensi Province on July II 1975

Also on the tour was M rs Casselmans sister D r Isabel Wilkins of Lethbridge Alberta

In a recent letter to John Ba bcock D irector of Alumni Affairs and Development D r Wilkins advised that she had received a delightful letter of a ppreciation from scholarship winner Betty Wilson and noted the coincidence that the fi rst student to win the award was also a Betty - as my sister was always called rather than Elizabeth 0

Traditional Pigeon Holes Are Out David Laing FA CS 75 - computer systems designer

Recent FACSgrads just dont fit

by Mary Cocivera

A n OAC professor recentl y slipped and mentioned Mac girls in his economics class only to be corrected by a hefty indignant very male voice protesting Were no longer M ac and were not all girls

We all need the security of stereotypes but like the now-enlightened professor we should file away outdated labels a nd look at present realities

The recent grad ua tes ofthc C ollege of Family and Consumer Studies simply do not fit any of the t raditional pigeon holes Theyre a new breed of university graduate prepared to enter a society that differs greatly from the one their predecessors faced in 68 and scarcely resembles the Canada of 1904 which welcomed the first Macdonald Inst itute grad ua tes

Todays graduates sha re a concern for the family with alumni through the years whether M ac o r FACS but todays graduates are likely to enmiddotter non-trad itional careers tha t reflect the di fferent p riorities and needs of society today T heir B ASc degree is as relevant to society today as the first two-year certificate was in 1905

Partly because of poor market conditions and fewer opportunities in traditional areas like teaching and partly because of emerging opportunities in

13

consumer related areas and social services todays F ACS graduates are exploring new career field s compatible with their education aptitudes and interests

Who knows Seventy-five years from now the graduates of the College may fight stereotypes being created today They may turn away from these traditional areas and go into fields only the imagination could predict at this time

C omputer systems

David Laing Consumer Studies 75 spent four mont hs looking for a job after he graduated The market wasnt good but more than tha t I hadnt decided exactly what I wanted Interviews with prospective employers helped me define my assets and goals Eventuall y I was able to see the interview through the employers eyes and could predict what questions would pop up

Now David is a sales representative in the educational area for Digital Equipment of Canada Ltd He helps design computer systems to fit the needs of his clients at universities research laboratories and high schools

The technical selling area - combining technical knowledge with marketing expertise - isan ideal mix for me He studied sciences at the University of Toronto for a yea r before transferring into FACS because it seemed more practical and more directly related to a career Although most of his colleagues have scientific or engineering degrees David feels hes not handicapped

Theres still lots to learn The initial nineshymonth training program in Massac husetts covered just the basics Ive learned at least twice that in the last year and a half

There is continual pressure to perform and deadlines to meet but pulling through builds self confidence Ive spent long hours proving myself but the regular feedback is encouraging and satisfying

Although the work itself is quite technical sales involves working with people I have to maintain a working relationship with my clients which involves not only selling an initial computer system but making sure it performs well and is in peak condition

My short-term goal is to meet my budget but eventually I would like to work my way into management a step at a time I feel I entered this company on the ground

floor during a major development period That will be good in terms of a career David and his wife Dayle (H ossie) Consumer Studies 75 live in Brampton

Karen Bennell FA CS 76

Business operations It was a surprise to me how much is

involved in running a business observed Karen Bennett Consumer Studies 76 Shes learning first hand as one of a staff of lOa t Optique Maisonneuve a company which distributes optical products My position gives me all-around business experience The marketing aspect reall y interests me because it invol ves fashion pricing product promotion and advertising Theres tremendous potential in this area

Karen has suffered through the initiation rites of the school of hard knocks Her first job with a large optical distributor came to an abrupt halt last November Head office in the States said Canadian sales were down and 23 employees had to go I was the last one hired in management so I was the first to go

In her first job Karen was the only woman in management the youngest and the least experienced was constantly

proving myself Any job is a learning experience and when you succeed it gives you self confidence

The nine weeks in search of another job were completely devastating 1 tried everything but it was almo st impossi ble even to get an interview Im a little leary of making long-range plans after my first experience Being laid off has forced me to reassess my goals Ive learned to be very flexible and not count on anything Im pleased to be with a small company now where I can learn all facets of operating a business

Janel (McGuigan) Kelly FACS74

In the field of law Lawyers ha ve to enjoy solving other

peoples problems thats what law is all about explains Janet (M cG uigan) Kelly Family Studies 74 Many lawyers would prefer to stay out of family law - it involves emotional strain and long-term continuing cases Janet would like to esta blish a general law practice with an opportunity to do some family law With her background in family studies and experience working in family court she knows she could handle it You have to ha ve a certain personality to be able to deal with people in those stressful circumstances

Concern for the legal problems of families got Janet interested in la w school during her second year in FACS She arrived at the University of Western O ntario law school prepared to take all the family la w courses only to find there was a grand total of two She took them both and in her third year helped to teach one and worked in

14

family court as a duty counsel In addition she worked a sum mer for the Childrens Aid Society in London and gained invaluable experience in dealing with child abuse custody and support cases

D uring the C hildrens Aid work I served on the front line handling emergencies I didnt sleep much all summer worrying about some of the cases but the experience gave me good perspective on family court My co-workers had very good interv iewing skills and I learned a lot from them

ow articling with a law firm in London Janet still has to take the bar admission course from September to March of next year before becoming a bona fide lawyer

Law school was tedious and heavy at times but I think I worked just as hard during my four years at Guelph I realize now that the undergraduate work put a lot of valuable information at my fingertips

I dont see any reason why I cant combine a family with a law practice My husband Michael is very supportive

Elinor (Schlorff) Phillips FA CS 77

Protective counselling

As an ad ult protective services counsellor Elinor (Schlorff) Phillips Family Studies 77 works with mentally retarded adults in P erth County to help them achieve as much independence as possible within the community setting She works with the St ratford Family Counselling Service but her services are offered through the Ontario M inistry of Community and Social Services

Some of her more than 60 clients live with parents while others have found their own accommodation and hold down jobs She works individually with each client to

help generate independence This could involve life skills counselling in such areas as budgeting transportation medical and dental care personal hygiene finding accommodat ion and coping with a job I help them learn to anticipate problems before they happen I help them identify their needs find alternatives and make their own decisions about how to handle the situation I cant dictate In some cases Elinor serves as an advocate - speaking for her clients before medical personnel employers community agencies lawyers and landlords - to assure that their rights are not compromised

I couldnt sit behind a desk all day so this job really suits me Im continually meeting and talking with people - not only my clients but their parents workers in social service agencies and other people in the community Elinor confesses that she had no trouble finding the job and is so busy and so happy in her work that she hasnt even thought about long-term aspira tions

Elinor and her husband Jim Phillips Arts 76 live in Stratford

Judy (Holdsworth) Binnington FA CS 74

The medical profession

A third-year medical student at the University of Toronto Judy (Holdsworth) Binnington Applied H uman Nutrition 74 is looking forward to next year when she will work fulltime with patients in the Womens

College Hospita l in Toronto My nutrition background has been helpful We dont get much nutrition in medical sc hool and I find I pick up on things that other students completely miss

Judy was interested in medicine in high school but didnt have the self confidence to follow it through At Guelph she worked hard earned good marks and decided to apply For me nutrition was interesting but too narrow a field medicine is almost too wide - tmiddothats why its so exciting

At this point Judy looks forward to eventually opening her own practice because she feels that female famiJy doctors are needed almost everywhere My location will depend on where my husband (Dr Brian Binnington OVC 73) will be working a t the time He gives me much needed support and encouragement but being married involves inevitable geographical complications Right now hes working for the O M AF Veterinary Services Bra nch in Brighton I spend weekends there with him

Last summer J ud y worked with two female doctors in Guelph O ne was married and had a young child She was a very good model for me because I would like to com bine a practice with a family When I entered medical school I didnt know anyone who had combined both roles

After the final year in medical school Judy will do a two-year family practice residency Her nutri t ion background cannot help but colour her approach to practising medicine

Much more career pioneering has been accomplished

These and other F ACS graduates have pioneered in challenging career areas recognizing that their unique backgrounds cou ld bring new insights and approaches to established and emerging career fields

Unlike the visionaries of the early sixties the recent graduates have their feet and minds firmly planted in the sobering economic realities of the late seventies

Dreaming has given way to hard work and calculated career strategies Graduates soon discover that proving themselves in the working world is never easy but has as its rewards personal growth satisfaction and upward mobility in the work force 0

campus highlights Priorities for survival

The University of Guelph will survive restricted levels of funding from government for the next four to five years and survive with integrity intact

Dur ing meetings with faculty professional and support staff University President Donald Forster said that Guelph will survive both academical ly and financially by emphasizing that this University is different from any other university in Ontario It will survive by maintaining the attractiveness and quality of its programs and through saving every possible nickel and dime out of authorized budgets President Forster said Guelph is going into this period in sound condition and will come out of it in a sound position

The Presidents assurances fo ll owed the Ministry of Colleges and Universities anno uncement that there are lean years ahead and Guelph will receive a fo rmu la grant of $45753000 in 197879 With tuition levels frozen thi s represents an increase in basic operating income of a bout 54 per cent substantially belowtheannual inflation rate Moreover it follows a number of a lready lean years as the student unit revenue expressed in constant dollars has declined some 20 per cent over the period 1970 to 1977

The University has a significant operating reserve to assist it through the very difficult years ahead and I hope it will ass ist us through that period with our integrity intact our academic programs not badly damaged and our level of services maintained President Forster said

Guelphs first priority is to maintain the attracti veness of its programs to st udents particularly Ontario scholars The University will increase its liaison efforts but with dignity cautioned the President and they will focus on the uniqueness and qualit y of Guelphs academic programs

Guelph has several options in order to survive the years ahead The University could significantly redu ce the evel of services a measure President Forster sees as se lf-defeating or by consuming the reserves accumulated over past years

While Guelph will be faced over time with some red uctions in its establishment he said the objective of the administration is to maintain the present establishment to the maximum extent possible to avoid layoffs of staff and faculty and to accomplish reductions through attrition and fai lure to

fill vacancies in the current establishment I think we have a responsibility to all

our colleagues to ensu re that we continue to offer close to the same level of se rvice we now do 1 think and my colleagues agree that we can do it 0

N ew HAFA undergraduate major

The School of Hotel a nd Food Administration is adding a new major area of st ud y in response to a public need for people trained in institutional food service management The undergraduate major approved by Senate will commence in the fall 1978 semester

Grad uates from the maj or will proba bly work in hospitals nursing homes colleges universities and government institutions There is a need within the industry for this type of person with an admini strative background says HA FA Director Professor George Bedell

The new major will stress administrashytion and food service management but will branch out into the food area more than does the major in hotel and food administration At present students majoring in applied human nutrition in the College of Family and Consumer Studies can choose to emphasize therapeutic nutrition community nutrition or administrative dietetics Thi s latter option will be phased out as HAfA initiates the new institutiona l food service management major 0

C entre linked to Family Studies

The UniversityS Centre for Educational Disabi lities will playa more prominent role in University teaching and research programs under a new arrangement in which it is formally associated with the Department of Family Studies The association will give faculty more access to th e Centre for research and may eventually enable students from many departments to work in the Centre as part of their academic programs

This change in stat us was recommended by the Senate Committee for the Centre which has provided administrative support

to the director since the Centre was found ed in 1969 Under the new arrangement the director of the Centre will select an advisory committee to work with him on program development made up of one member from each of the olleges of Biol ogical Science Social Science and Family and Consumer Studies and members from the commun ty who are concerned and professionally interested in learning di sabilities

Professor Griffith Morgan director of the Centre explains that the community members of the advisory board will keep the staff alert to t he co ncerns of peo pIe in the comm un it y We shall tailor our programs to meet their needs

One or our main concerns says Professor Richard Barham Chairman Department of Family Studies is to crea te more opportunities for facu lt y from across campus to interact with the people in the Centre

Dr Barham looks on the new association as a means of bringing together facu lty with simi lar interests and encouraging a closer working relationship with the Centre Traditionally he explains the Department of Family Studies through its teaching and research in child studies has focused on younger child ren The toddlers and preschool programs were developed to facilitate the teaching and research in this area By including the Cen tre for Educational Disabilities we create a wider resource base provide a broader range of experiences for our students and encourage faculty to expand their research horizons to include older children It could provide a whole new dimension for instance to look at language development from toddler stage through adolescence

Dr Morgan stresses that the Centres new association with an academic department should promote worki ng relationships with faculty in all departments Weve already worked with faculty and students from the Departm ents of Psychology Human Kinetics Family Studies and students from York University and the Ontario Institute for Studies in -Education We hope to encourage more of this

The Centre is primarily a research facility although its community service and professional development functions have become important and highly visible aspects of its operation

Current research projects are varied Dr Morgan is writing a report for the Ministry of Education on a completed survey of children with language disorders in O ntario A second project carried out in cooperation with H umber C ollege is concerned with early intervention for developmentally retarded infants Now in its second and final year the project prepares senior Guelph students to assess and work with retarded children and their families A third large project currently funded by a grant-in-aid from the Ministry of Education involves developing testing and evaluation methods and materials for a psycho-acoustic approach to read ing A planned research project funded by IBM will survey and evaluate programs for children with lea rning disabilities in primary pu blic schools

The potential for research is enhanced through associa tion with the D epartment of Family Studies Many times explains D r Morgan we realize that the family situation could be aggravating the childs learning problem We just have to draw the line and focus only on the child and his immediate problem which of course is only half a solution The whole concept of the learning disabled child in a family environment could provide unlimited possibilities for further study

It is still only a gleam in his eye but Dr Morgan sees the possibility of school boards sending teachers to the University for working sabbaticals A teacher could take advanced psychology child studies or related courses and work part-time in the Cent re learning to recognize and deal with single or multiple learning disorders in school-aged children 0

Vacation with a difference

It began as a pilot project in the summer of 1976 It was called the vacation with a difference and it boasted something for everyone Since then the University of Guelph Family Summer Campus program has received national acclaim as a truly unique learning experience

The Summer Campus program is a combined academic cultural recreational and social experience for all ages from preshyschooler to senior citizen To date ove r 300 families and 900 people from all walks of life and aU geographic regions have

participated in the mid-July living and learning vacation

And it keeps getting better According to Professor Jim Murray acting director of the Universitys Office of Continuing Education the 1978 program has added a writer in residence a French immersion youth program a film festival as well as doubling the number of week-long courses

The writer in residence will be the distinguished C anadian author and broadcaster Harry Boyle

Course topics this summer include agriculture outdoor education indoor plants beekeeping new lifetyles wineshymaking and wine appreciation personal

finance design summer reading drawing conversational French and Spanish a weekend residential workshop in awareness and personal growth home gardening adult-child communication tapestry making parapsychology parenting in sports getting and using personal power and designing remedial education

The Summer Campus program which will beheld July 10-14and July 17-21 will again offer its popular youth programs A film-ma king course has been added to the teen program and the junior program (ages 6-11 years) has been revised substantially 0
