WATERLOO, ONTARIO

Sounds from Showboat Tomorrow night, as the “Showboat ‘61” swings down

the Mississippi, we’ll hear on deck the Trev Bennett Band- a talented “group of seven” which has been creating music around these parts for over four years.

The band is made up of two saxes, a trombone, trumpet, piano (played by our Barry Wills of Fourth Year Engineer- ing), bass and drums; and plays a variety of music arranged to suit any dancing crowd. At times the tenor sax and trombonist step up front for duets, and for some numbers either Trev or the versatile saxophonist handle the vocals.

Always one to ‘keep in tune’ with the tastes of his audience, Trev says, “If there is anything they prefer to hear, I will gladly do my best to play their requests.” So “all aboard” for the sweet and swinging sounds of the Bennett Band!

THE ENGINEERING QUEEN The votes have been cast, and the Engineering Queen

for the 1961 Winter-Summer term reigns, supreme in beauty. The crowning will take place tomorrow night, at the dance. But just in case you are wondering who this year’s Queen is, you will have to wait and see for yourself tomorrow night. We will tell you that the finalists in the contest are Karen English (Galt); Olga Haluschynski (Toronto), and Carol Schieberl (Hamilton). One of these finalists is our Queen, chosen according to your votes last Friday. We hope that we will be fortunate enough to have such beautiful entries again next year, with a bigger and better response. Hope to see you tomorrow night at the “Showboat ‘61.”

SHOWBOAT ’ WELCOME ABOARD

We’re about to cast off on the wonderful week-end of Showboat ‘61, a gala time set in the genteel refinement of the fabled Mississippi Showboats. And so, ‘Welcome Aboard’ to a setting of days gone by, for here’s memories in the making.

9 61, Once again ‘we present our

semi-annual extravaganza. The following is a general plan of what we hope to accomplish between mid- night Friday and dance-time Saturday, or about eighteen hours.

On the evening of Febru- ary l&h, you will enter the gym by a canopied gang- plank, emerging onto a raised platform where you will be welcomed by the reception committee. This for your girls, will be the first real look at “Showboat 61”. Above, instead of a false ceiling of streamers, there will be about eighty twink- ling stars and a pale moon. A centrepiece of a raised platform, complete with twin stacks, ventilators, ship’s wheel (from Owen Sound) and captain’s chair, will oc- cupy the centre of the dance floor. Certain sound equipment, will, we hope, enhance the centrepiece. On each side of the gym there will be a 20-foot paddle wheel, which will “turn” by the use of a light sequence. This will be the backdrops for the orches- tra one one side and the throne for Miss Engineer on the other. Two flags, mount- ed on a flag deck at the rear of the ship, will complete the individual novelties. All of the seating area will be covered with a white canopy of streamers, with a vertical wall of more white streamers, completing the dance floor edge of the area. Blue lant- erns will light the seating area, with all the other coloured spots scattered wherever they are needed. The colours will be white, red, gold, grey, and black.

In order to accomplish this, we need lots of help. There will, as always, be two shifts, the first crew, the riggers, will begin at mid- night Friday and work ‘until 8.00 a.m., the second crew, the decorators, will then complete the transformation.

The first crew will set up a grid system of cord and wires to support the “stars”, and all the support for the seating canopy. The big electrical job, tbe “stars,” should be completed by the first crew. For the lighting, in- cluding the “stars,” we plan on stringing about two thous- and feet of cable, so to anyone electrically minded, Gurney Barker, 3A Electrical needs your help. My pet projects are the paddle wheels. These will be partially prefabricated before Fri- day, but they should be completed by Satruday morning. About twenty able- bodied men, electricians, car- penters, and monkeys are

Message from the President ~ The engineer at play is an

awesome sight, if past per- formance is any criterion, and this week-end will see quite-a number of engineers playing pretty hard. The occasion is the sixth con- secutive semi-annual “week- end” sponsored by this term’s Engineering Society; the prime social event of the year from an engineering viewpoint. In the ralatively short history of the school, this occasion has grown from the first “Billionaire’s Ball”, haphazardly held and sparse- ly attended, to lavish pro- ductions minutely planned

and packed to the rafters. This year’s effort follows the trend of previous “week-ends” in that a great deal of planning and hard work on the part of the committee has resulted in a potentially bigger and better “week-end” than any of its forerunners.

.

It is with a great deal of pleasure that on behalf of the Engineering Society executive, I invite everyone on campus to take part in and enjoy the activities of this occasion. We hope you have a great time and are still with us on Monday morning.

Bill McGratton, President, Engineering Society

Message from the Convenor At approximately 9.00 p.m.

Saturday evening the pride and joy of the Engineering Society, “Showboat ‘61,” will be launched on her only ., . voyage as part of the Engii- eering Week-end.

About 320 passengers will step aboard for an-evening of entertainment and dancing in the charm and hospi- tality of the legendary Missi- ssippi Showboats. Amongst these passengers will be our charming Engineering Queen and her attendants, outside University representatives and faculty members. Show- boat ‘61 is the results of the

labour of many people and I would like to extend my congratulations to my Dance Committee for a job magni- cently done. We hopelthat this week-end will take its place as one of the memorable occassions of our University days. To all those in attendance tomorrow evening go my best wishes for an enjoyable and a memorable cruise.

needed for the first crew. During Saturday, every-

one who can possibly make it, come on out and bring your girls or your wives. It should be amusing just to stand around and watch, even if you aren’t able to help. The final touches of any dance decorations should in my opinion, have some feminine advice.

As you can see, it will take a lot of work for’s few, or a lot of fun for a whole gang to make University of Wat- erloo’s “Showboat ‘61” a roaring success. So let us have lots of help and we ‘will make “Showboat ‘61” a

dance worthy of our Engin- eering Week-end tradition.

EDITORIAL

It appears that the University of Waterloo is developing a uniqueness not witnessed in other Universities. Here at Waterloo the Engineering, Science and Arts faculties not only co-exist but work together to create a friendly well- rounded student environment; not that friendly inter-faculty rivalries are to be discouraged. To paraphrase an ancient philosopher, “I am first a citizen of the Universe, and second a citizen of Greece.” Let us then be “first students of the University of Waterloo and secondly members of our individual faculties.”

This special issue of the paper is devoted primarily to Engineering, and ‘Showboat ‘61.’ Credit for it must go to many people who are not regularly on the Coryphaeus staff; as well as organizing this dance and week-end they have taken time out to contribute items to this issue. We would like to make this issue a regular event; coming out just previous to the big. ‘week-ends’ in both the winter and summer quarters as a souvenir issue for the dance. The organization and preparation of an issue like this is not hard, it is just that the collection of material is sometimes a little strained. So keep it in mind throughout the year, if you have an idea that you think will be of interest to this issue . . . a cartoon, a story, an appropriate saying, some poetry, or even the idea of some story or feature that you would like to see in future issues, jot it down and mark it for the ‘Week-end Issue’ of the Coryphaeus. Given time, experience, and participation like this, we will really be able to turn out magnifieient ‘Engineering Issues’ on these special occasions. This issue in itself will become a tradition, just as the dance itself is now a widely recognized tradition of this University.

Since by now you are all enthralled by creating traditions that live for ever in the annals of the University of Waterloo, let’s have a good turn-out of workers Saturday morning: to decorate the Gvm for the big dance. Due to the game Fyiday evening, there is only the one day possible for decorating, and there is a lot of work that will have to be done. But please, seeing as how we have been talking of tradition, don’t carry it through to its bitter end by a mass stay-away Sunday morning; remember, “What goes up, must eome down.”

What is a Waterloo Man? Somewhere between adolescence and adultery Comes

that period of life known as the Waterloo Man, or the Waterloo Engineering student. Waterloo men come in assorted shapes, sizes, weights and colours (mainly grey and gold) . . .

Everyone has the same creed: to pull pranks on Water- loo College and out-scream and out-prank every other University body in the world; Waterloo men are found annoying arts students, chasing girls, staring through trans- its or bending elbows . . .

They are innocence in a jam, beauty with a beer bottle, and wisdom with a slide rule . ; .

Waterloo men are a composite, they have the appetite of an army, the absorbing capacity of a sponge, the of a DiVinei, and the audacity of a bear trap . . .

curiosity

They like liquid spirits, pretty girls, Engineers’ Week- ends, bird courses, money from home, pranks and loafing. . .

They dislike authority, intelligent girls, labs, examina- tions, the high price of liquid diets, coffee shop coffee, professors who hand out assignments and twelve o’clock curfews . . .

Yet no one gets more fun out of a snake-dance, a boat ride or a good-night kiss than a Waterloo man. Only a Waterloo man can cram into one faculty jacket a half-filled twenty-sixer, a slide rule, three old bones, one pipe (smoking variety), one well thumbed sexy novel, two match boxes, three phone lists and five lipstick stained handkerchiefs.

Message from the Dean We have eome to look

forward, at this time of year, to the annual Formal Dance held by the Engineering Soe- iety. In a short time, this dance has come to be one of the most important social features at the University of Waterloo. A remarkable pat- tern has been established by which these dances have been bigger, better and more spectacular every year. Al- though this tendency cannot go on for ever (read your notes for Math. 201), I am eonfindent that this year’s “Showboat ‘61” will be the most successful formal yet!

A special commendation should be given to the members of the Society Executive and the Dance Committee and all those who help for their fine efforts.

I look forward to seeing everyone at the dance, and I would take this opportunity to wish everyone a very good time!

Letter to the Editor Dear Sir:

Tromp, tromp, tromp. We are the hollow men. Why? What is wrong with this ruddy university? They’ve imposed strict regulations on inter-campus pranks; stags are dying out as we once knew them.

Life around Waterloo is getting duller and duller. Where are the good old controversial hell - raising days? It’s getting harder and harder to fling a good orgy or wallow in a little filth occasionally. Even that erst- while champion of purity

and the sanctity of the womb Clarissa Thaekerby, has van- ished like the snows of yes- teryear. All the organisms in this crop seem bent only on getting an education in a degree course and not in the (ah) liberal arts.

What is university for if not to raise hell? What are classes for if not to cut? What are women for if not to make love to? We may never know.

Dirty Old Man. Words for Today:

Confueious talks too much.

will be footpaths connecting the teaching buildings with the residences, a foot-bridge crossing the creek, the for- mation of a lake by damming up the creek, a spillway coming down from the lake, cleaning out all the brush and weeds from the creek bed, a practice sports field, a student car park for about 300 ears, and a general tree planting program throughout the campus, area.

The 1965 program deserib- es the campus as it will be, based on the best figures available for the prediction of the growth of the Univer- sity. All buildings are Uni- versity buildings, not faculty buildings, so that the elass- room space expands to handle the increase of students in the entire University, and not just for one particular faculty. As the size of the University continues to grow, however, each faculty will develop more and more on their own separate group of buildings; so that all their facilities are within eonven- ient distance, and not sep- arated by the entire width of the campus. The present Chemistry building, for example, will eventually be devoted mainly to Chemical Engineering; a second Chem- istry and Biology Building will take over manv of the functions of the ” present Chemistry building. This has been caused partially by the development of the individual faculty units; and partially because of the amount of reseraeh work being done by the Chemistry department calling for larger faeili- ties than originally antiei- pated.

But enough of figures, they are interesting to statis- ticians but they add little to any actual realization of size. A far better estimate of the completed size is that the Engineering Building will have almost three times the floor space of the Chemistry Building. The main buildings are concrete, primarily prestressed eoneret, but the heavy laboratories are steel construction. There is a very good reason for this use of steel, they need the extra space available in the steel-type of construction.

This laboratory section will be the first part completed, it is scheduled for completion early next October, so that the heavy machinery and equipment can be moved in and installed for use next year. Due to the amount and complexity of some of the equipment, the University officials requested that this section be completed first, so that it could be ready for classes next January.

But steel construction is not desirable for the main classrooms, offices, libraries and smaller laboratories. It

Message from Co-ordination “SHOW BOAT” Comes

out of the past to carry us into the future, we hope, with many happy memories. Jerome Kern, taking his theme from Edna Ferber’s best seller, produced a musi- cal which, both on stage and screen, has won for itself the name of an “American Mas- terpiece.”

Such lyrics as ‘01 Man River, Make Believe, Why Do I Love You’ and Can’t Help Lovin’ That Man - each with its own distinct personality - have helped make Show Boat the classic that it is.

In much the same way, each party has its own distinctive personality providing memories to be carried through the years. There are those who will remember the days (and nights) of planning and working to make ‘Cottonblossom’ become a reality on our campus, expending every effort to make ‘The Dance’ a true sueeess. There are those who will long remember the fun and gaiety of this gala affair. Then too, there are those for whom ‘Why Do I Love You’ will repeat its haunting melody as a tantalizing question through the months to come.

May this, your ‘Show Boat’, bring with it the success of its past and may you have many happy memories of it long

c after the music has faded and you have left these halls of learning.

We wish - FULL STEAM AHEAD - to You and Your ‘Show Boat’.

is a noisier type of building, sound carries further, and you have the problem of interference from one room to another. So instead eon- erete is used, it is much quieter in that it doesn’t carry noise nearly as far, and it is much more economical in the long term eonsidera- tions. And when building with concrete, prestressed is one of the easiest and most practical methods of eon- struction.

When building with prestressed concrete you must have a central core to build around, an anchor to tie in the rest of the building to. So the central corridors of the classroom wing were built in the traditional wood- en form and pouring method, a solid central core to anchor the rest of the building to while under construction. Then the outside columns are put in place, the cross beams are fastened to these, and the ceiling sections lifted into place. These ceiling sections (each weighing 3 tons) are notched so that they fit closely together, with four steel sections set into them along the edges. These steel plates, butting with adjoin- ing ones on the next section, are welded together in order to tie the whole building solidly together. Then a layer of concrete is poured over the whole surface, which results in a building that is as strong and solid as if the whole structure had been built in the manner of the central core. And the whole bmui:mg has been put up

more economically than otherwise would be possible.

The Library wing, not as wide as the classroom see- tion, does not have a corridor to ‘anchor’ the rest of the

structure, instead a poured set of columns down the centre serve the same pur- pose. But the end result is the same, a solid ‘honey- comb’ type of structure, which is then closed in with bricks. A quarter of a million bricks will be needed for this, and they hope to have this ‘closing in’ completed by the end of April. Then will eome the interior work, the building serviees such as water, light, power, heating and cooling, and plumbing. Ter- razo floors and plastering, painting, doors, windows, t.he completion of the building to the stage where the Uni- versity has only to move in their furniture, sit down and start to work.

The office wing, extending down towards the Chemistry Building, has been covered for the last few weeks with a hermispherical section of tarpaulins; workmen under here are constructing two tunnels for services, the heating, water, power, etc. These tunnels extend to, but do not connect with, the Chemistry building; the only connection between the Engineering building is the tunnel across to the Physics building. This having to wrap everything in tarpaulins is one of the handicaps of winter eon- struetion; thawing out the ground that they are building on and keeping the air warm enough to be able to handle the materials.

Progress has been magnifi- cent on the building, they are head of schedule with no signs of any major delays. But winter construction has been hard; what with the cold weather, the amount of work handling tarpaulins, heaters, and materials, and the general loss of efficiency from the workmen, it is as

much as 50y0 more expensive than summer construction would have been. But it was rather impossible to do anything else, Government grants don’t eome through until July, then the building plans must be drawn up before construction can be started. It is a disadvantage to build in the winter, but construction couldn’t be put off; the University will need the extra classroom space by next September, and will be almost desperate for this space by January, 1962, when the building opens. Priority on the new building is on the heavy laboratories, then the completion of the library and classroom wings, lastly the office space.

Sports By Lewis Taylor

Since this issue of the Coryphaeus is a special Engineering Issue, we are devoting this editorial to ‘information about who of the Engineering Faculty played or is playing on University of Waterloo teams. You may see a few names of friends or classmates here.

Football: The following Engineers played on the Waterloo Warriors football team: Dave Moogk, Chuck Elliot, Cam Wood, Dave Stewart, Bob Sehellenberg, Hank Kryzwicki, Ron Stoltz, Max Gould, Spenee Staynar, Phil Pearson, Bob Graham, Paul Kurtz, Mieheal Doyle, Richard Koster, John Phillips, Erie Czarneeki, and Alex Caldwell. Of 32 players on the team, the above 17 were Engineering students.

Golf: On the Varsity Golf team (four members) the Engineering golfer was Jack Cranston. This team placed second in the Inter-Varsity tournament.

Basketball: There are no Engineers officially on the Warriors Varsity team, although Bernie Long has played in a few of the Varsity games. On the J.V. team, the En- gineers are represented by Bernie Long, Tom Pettipiece, Gunnar Riehters, and Enn Pajur.

Badminton: In this sport our Varisty Doubles took the Inter-Collegiate title. The Engineering half of the twosome was Rick Tompkins.

Hockey: The Engineers playing on the Varsity Hockey squad are: Kurt Christie, Kenneth Thompson, Graham Sehaeffer, Mike Mathews, Jim Lone, Peter Shearer, John Marsh, Bill Pinkerton, Bernie Fransen, and John Davis.

Rifle Team: Ed Stoltz, David Ross and Nick Kouwen will be the Engineers representing the U. of W. along with Dennis Lehto (Science) at the Rifle competition to be held Saturday, February 18th, over at O.A.C. We wish you all the good luck and lots of “bulls.”

Curling: The University of Waterloo will be playing host to the other competitors in the inter-collegiate Curling Championships to be held today (Feb. 17th) at the Kitehener Granite Club. Frank Raehieh is the Engineer in charge, with Don Hagey, Graeme Fournier and Bob Heinz as the other curling Engineers.

Basketball Highlights Basketball, Feb. 8. Waterloo J.V.‘s 63 - O.A.C. J.V.‘S 50.

The Waterloo J.V.‘s opened up an early lead in the game and led 37 - 22 at half-time. O.A.C. tried to stage a comeback in the second half, but our boys just wouldn’t give in even after having two of our players fouled out of the game. Horst Wohlgemut led the scoring with 13 points. He was closely followed by Ian MaeNaughton with 12, Lloyd Niziol with 11 and Mike Whitney with 10. For 0.A.C Wayne Helmer had 12, and Harvey Brown had 10. Waterloo Warriors 71 - O.A.C. Redmen 54.

The Varsity game was closely contested with the Warriors leading by only six points (36 - 30) at half-time. The Warriors opened up a bigger lead part way through the second half and held the lead from then on. Bill Jones, back

1 in the line-up after being out for four games, came back to lead in the scoring with 20 points. Tim Craig, who’s been showing us lately that he can score too (he’s had at least 10 per game in the last few games) had 11, while Dick Aldridge and Jerry Hiekey each had 10 points. For O.A.C. Jack MeNab had 18, and Bill Slusarehuk had 16. Basketball, Feb. 11. M&Iaster J.V.‘s 75 - Waterloo J.V.‘s 46.

The Waterloo J.V.‘s opened up the game in good style matching MeMaster point for point and even holding the lead for awhile early in the game, but by half-time the MeMaster team had taken the lead 31 - 14. In the second half, the Waterloo boys just couldn’t seem to match their opposition and so had to admit another loss. For the Water- loo crew Bernie Long had 13 points, and Ray Miske had 11 points. For MeMaster Ludis Timmermanis had 17, Barry Leech had 16, Joel Goldenberg had 14 and John Wouders had 12 points.

’ Basketball, Feb. 11. Waterloo Warriors 77 - MeMaster Marauders 69.

The Warriors made it seven straight in league corn- petition on Saturday night by defeating MeMaster on the home floor. This game was beyond all doubt the most exciting game of the season SO far. With both teams tied for first place in the league standings, each one needed the win to move out in front. In the opening minutes of the game, the Maurauders took a commanding 90 point lead and for the first three of four minutes things looked pretty grim for the home fans. Waterloo called “time-out” in order to regroup forces and plan a bit of extra strategy. I don’t know just what Coach Pugliese told his boys in the time-out but they soon started to roll and by half-time led 39 - 32. During the half-time break, the capacity crowd was entertained by Miss Judy Vollmer of Galt who gave an exhibition of baton twirling and also did an Irish jig, and also by Miss Deardra King of Waterloo (aged seven) who thrilled the crowd with her fine show of baton twirling. The second half of the game saw the Warriors hold the lead all the way to take first place in the league standings. On the whole all the Warrior players are to be congratulated on a fine show of both offensive and defensive teamwork. A standout on defence was Dick Aldridge who effectively held down the Maurauders “big guns” on more than one occasion. On offense, Bill Jones came up with one of his spectacular games scoring 34, while Ray Palmer added 17 points. For the Maurauders Gene Rizak scored 27 and Mike Sehertzer had 22. On the whole the game as a real thriller and the biggest crowd ever really enjoyed themselves. An added attraction was the music of the St. Jerome’s “SwingWorms” who played between games for our entertainment. We would remind you

Student Residences This is the ‘Willison Hall’ type of residence, a long

corridor, washrooms centrally located, stairs at eather end. Cheapest to build, it is also the least desirable and most incon- venient for the students living in residence.

P ‘4 I This is a more desirable alternative, with the rooms grouped

in units of ten, a lounge per unit, stairs centrally located, and rooms located around washrooms. More expensive, but easier to manage, and far better for the students who are living in residence.

This summer the Univer- sity of Waterloo will be starting on the construction of the first University residences, the start of a program that will eventually see 50% of all students attending the University in residence. This is a very idealistic figure, most Universities today are very pleased if they have residence facilities for 33 y0 of their students, many have to be content with much less than that. But it is one thing to say that we shall have residences, another question is “What will they be like?”

Around here the only example of student residences now is Willison Hall, of the Waterloo College. This is an older building, and it is typical of what is now re- garded as the cheapest and least desirable type of residence construction. Basically this is the long corridor, rooms along this corridor, and washrooms located in the middle of the building. It is quite inexpensive to build, that is true; but it is also auite difficult to super-

&

vise and it is very i&on- venient for students. It is very desirable to have the students’ rooms broken up into individual sections, with no more than ten to twelve rooms per section. It is possible then for students of like interests to live in the same area of a residence, and since they are in a unit by themselves they won’t dis- turb other students with other interests. This, however, means a different style of residence construction, which is a more expensive undertaking.

Let’s consider some figures of residence requirements, and costs; for a residence that will house 100 students:

50 students in single rooms 120 sq. ft. per room, 6,000 sq. ft.

50 students in double rooms, 100 sq. ft. per room, 5,000 sq. ft.

Lounges and common rooms, i0 sq. ft. per student, 1,000 sq. ft.

Services, washrooms, etc., 1,500 sq. ft.

ft. Miscellaneous, 1,500 sq.

Corridors, luggage, laundry rooms, 5,000 sq. ft.

Total 20,000 sq. ft.

This is figuring on what is considered as the most basic essentials for residences, and amount to approximately 200 sq. ft. per student. A far more realistic figure, and one which the University of Wat- erloo is aspiring for, provides at least 300 sq. ft. per student. But considering the most basic minimum area per student, and using eon- erete construction, the cost amounts to at least $280,- 000.00 for the building. This is for the bare building, it must have furniture which will add another $60,000.00 to the bill, and services such as water, light and power, which will amount to another $50,000.00. About the least you can expect to pay for a residence housing 100 students is approximately $390,- 000.00.

As I mentioned before though, the University is planning on at least 300 sq. ft. per student, this would raise the total floor area to at least 30,000 sq. ft. And although you can get away with construction costs of about $14.00 per sq. ft., this in itself leaves much to be desired, a more realistic figure is approximately $16.00 per sq. ft. This would raise the building cost to almost half-a-million dollars; with furniture and services, the finished cost would amount to about $590,000.00 Con- crete construction is essential for residences, it is the only practical method of elimin- ating noise transmission throughout the building. An excellent example of this is Queen’s University; one of the residences there is steel construction, and noise ear- ries and reverberates throughout the entire building; the later residences are concrete construction, and are amazingly quiet in com-

Here, in line with the philosophy of constructing units for each particular see- tion, the residences will be constructed along similar lines. The basic residence construction may be either a ‘T’ or a ‘Y’ centred about a Common cafeteria, grouped together in units of three or

four. The ideal residence consists of far more than just rooms to live in, in addition to these there are common rooms and lounges, a coffee shop, games rooms, baggage rooms, a music and TV room, laundry rooms, tutorial rooms and meeting rooms. When you think that a residence is a student’s ‘home’ away from home for the better part of a year, the importance of something more than just four walls, a bed and a desk, can be easily realized.

Meet your Waterloo - cont’d The 1980 program will see

the completion of the entire University of Waterloo eam- pus, all of the individual faculty units and all of the student residence eonstrue- tion. Landscaping will have been completed, and the final realization of the Uni- versity will be seen. This is one of the greatest advan- tages of the University of Waterloo, the entire campus is being developed according to a pre-planned program; it is not the piecemeal assembly of buildings that has been the development of so many other University campuses throughout North America. The completion of the Uni- versity of Waterloo campus will see the physical realization of the ideal philosophy of the University as ‘a community within a community’.
