Days at Ajax. One of these was the first Open House in the spring of 1946, when relatives, friends, local citizens and Important People all turned up to have a look at the Division. Another was the time the Ajax rugby team won the eastern Ontario junior championship. An event that wasn't planned was when food poisoning laid low about 250 students. The trouble was tracked down to a salad: the sort of thing that can happen unavoidably in any large cafeteria. The physical plant that was necessary to keep Ajax Division going made the place a self-contained community. The immense heating system used 16,000 tons of coal in the 1946-47 term. Ajax Division had its own water pumping station and its own sewage disposal plant; its own road maintenance and snow removal system. There was a local fire and a brigade, and a cleaning staff. Ajax had its own post office. The laundry service ran a 24-hour service and cleaned shirts for 12 cents each. There was a local telephone switchboard, and a local protective service of uniformed men. The complete maintenance staff, under the Deputy Superintendent, Alex Russell, numbered 196 persons. Ajax Division had a 25-bed hospital staffed by a doctor and four nurses. There was a resident dentist. All these services are being maintained to support the industrial community that is springing up. No one yet knows if the streets of Ajax Division will be renamed. What will happen to College Avenue, University Drive, King's Road, Queen's Road and Western Square? The ex-servicemen who made up the bulk of the student body at Ajax, the "men in a hurry," think back nostal-gically, to their days at Ajax. Bill Turner, second year student, who was president of the Ajax branch of the Engineering Society this year. says frankly that he believes "Ajax had a better spirit than Toronto." "The residence idea worked out satisfactorily," says Professor Wright. "Some of the students found it easy to study, and some didn't, but on bal-ance it was an advantage." Men of Ajax will remember the easy informality of the place, the chill two-and-a-half miles of corridors be-tween the classroom buildings, the "Green Dragons" that carted them from lecture to lecture, the bright airy labs, the bustling friendly atmosphere of the cafeteria and the crowded Tuck Shop, the riotous water fights, the bull sessions, the Engineers' Ball. In the back of their minds they will hear the winter wind that whistled across the bleak fields. Did Someone Say "Ivory Tower?" Clifford A. Curtis, '22 C, professor of economics at Queen's, was elected mayor of Kingston recently. Among other interests, he has been Chairman of, the Prices Commission at Ottawa. Pakistan Bound Fred Quance, '38 S, of Montreal, is off to Pakistan where he'll join the engineering staff of the government's Radio Pakistan. His headquarters will be in Karachi. 10
