McKay has keen appoint- ed • Asseeiate Professor of Classics in, the University of British Columbia and will be leaving University Col- lege, Toronto in July. He attended the Public School at Hermit and the Collegiate Institute at Clinton, where he received hie Classical training from the late Prin- cipal J. W. Treleaven._ He entered University. College in 1919; and grad- uated as head of the course and Mc- Caul Gold Medalist in 1923. For two years he was Lecturer, at Victoria College; and then went to Balliol College, Oxford; as Rhodes Scholar, After taking high honours en "Mod- erations" and "Greats" he rammed; to University College. as Lecturer in Classics and later was promoted to an Assistant Professorship, British Columbia's gain is Ontar- io's loss. He has used to the full every advantage that a Classical training and ;study can offer. His in- terests have extended fa>. • beyond the Yo prescription of the curriculum. Col- leagues and pupils, and many others, have been impressed by his extraord- inary xtraordinary- versatility, which one might call bewildering were it not he is re- freshingly free from the jargon that is the bane of scholarship, even in Classics, in the last few years he has given special attention to Greek and Roman History, and to its study he has brought- a rich knowledge drawn -from 'many sources. He could, "take 'on" with equal readiness and thoroughness various courses, from Thucydides to Aristotle's "Ethics," Ancient Literary Criticism, Virgil; Livy, and Latin' Proses both Pass and Honour. He has contributed valu- able articles and criticisms to the Classical journals His independent judgement has been shown, for ex- ample, in his defence of Seneca's Tragedies. From the first he has found a special pleasure in interpret- ing Horace's thoughts and explaining his" versification. He has studied more thatu the narrow technicalities of Latin scansion • (which can be a prosy topic); he has an. uncanny sense for poetie rhythm in several• languages. He has boldly criticized Shelley's vowel harmonies, or want of then. Ili this respect and others he has ventured to deem Burns an over -rated poet—which, however, has net prevented him been composing a charming version of Catulius' "Vi- vamus, mea Lesbian" in the diction and manner: of the Scottish Bard. These few instances are quoted as samples of his wide interests and raanyy sided scholarships. Beyond the limits of his formal classes he has written English and French plays, is a poet and satirist and a discerning book-reviewer,rtis familiar with misted - ern T'rench fictin, notably the works of Proust, and'discusses present-day political questions with a judgment that is •subject to no influences un- less it be that of the first great thinkers. Apart from his strictly Pp rofessto n - a1 activities he is a skilful feneer, a player of chess and squash, an ex- pert knitterwho could give lessons to the most ambitious Women's Auxil- iary of any !church, And he was for two years HonorarY President of the University College Literary and Atli- letic Society, thus attaining the crowning glory to which a, graduate, of the College may aspire. The University of British Colum- bia is fortunate in acquiring so stim- ulating a reacher, who is, "in omni parte humanitatis :perpolitus,1 and to whose inborn gifts has been added in full measure the " conformatio d'octrinae" To him and his- wife, Constance Charlesworth, daughter of Hector Charleswortls, we offer best wishes for their future success and hap- piness.
