Leading businessmen of 38 na- tions devoted daily conferences ta the question, at the International Business Conference at Rye, N.Y. They studied the system, apprais- ed its capacity ta meet the needs of the world'g masses of people. r This is part of what that group said in its final report; "Private enterprise is the right of the citizen as an in dividual or jaintly with others ta set up in business for himself, venture bis persa 'nal efforts and capital; to awn, use and riskithe mechanical and other means of production. The reward of success is not only profit but increased employment and prasperity for ail. The pen- alty of failure is nat anly the loss of what bas been ventured but also the loss of employment with consequent injury ta the general1 economy. Natbing else than this cana provide the incentive ta that initiative and energy upan which economic pragress is built. The processes of exploration, research, invention and experiment are al cbaracteristic of free private enterpnise. "The consensus of the section is that the pivate enterprise sys- tem is the best known means of bringing about effective pros- peity and employment, of secur- ing and maintaining warld peace, thereby assuring a higber stand- ard of living for all peoples." To this end, the delegated af the 38 nations warking an this par- ticular subject at Rye urged that gavernments recognize and ad- bere ta the pinciples of pivate enterprise which were defined as fallows: Equality of opportunity; Equality under Iaw; Reward for initiative; Privilege for tbrift; A tax structure that encourages incentive and risk; Restriction of monapaly; Abstinence of government from competitian with private business; Freedam of production and sale; Equitable distribution of pro- fits with cansumers' and labor's interest safeguarded ta the end that more and more things may be supplied ta mare and mare people, tbereby producing maxi- mum employment at the higbest possible level of wages. Government under law that will - pravide encouragement ta business through provision of an economic atmospbere in accord with the above principles.-Tbe Financil"--s& Western University Honors Prof. W. F. Tamblyn By John K. Elliott, in the London Free Press President James A. Garfield of the United States once said "A pine bench with Mark Hopkins at one end of it and me at the other is good enough college for mie!" That was one way of pay- ing tnibute.ta the raie of persanal- ity in education. Another tri- bute of the same kind is being paid this evening by the Uni- versity of Western Ontario to Dr. W. F. Tamblyn, professor emeritus of Englisb. For the first tume in its bistory the university [s conferring the degree of doctor of letters. It is fitting that Dr. Tamblyn should be receiving this unique honor, for he is a unique charac- ter. He recalîs the renawned Prof. Kittredge of Harvard, under whom he may have studied, for he studied at that university, tak- ing the equivalent of two Ph.D. courses, one in classics and the other, later, in English. One test of personality is the acquisition of a nickname, and Dr. Tamblyn has met that. To generations of students he bas been known as "Tammy." It is a sincere tribute to bis warmth and good fellowship. Just when it started we can't say, for our acquaintance with and canse- -quent admiration for Dr. Tamb- lyn only gaes back a littie mare than two decades and he had been înstructing Westarn students for almost a quarter of a century be- fore that time. Dr. Tamblyn came ta Western in 1901, wben the institution was stili in its formative stage and he1 bas been intimately associated with it and with its students ever since. His retirement fram thea beadsbip of the English depart- 0 ment was announced last spring, a and he is now professor emeritus. g To measure. his influence one young students it would be neces- sary ta eaul back from. ail over f the world the young men and ti young women - many of wbom , are not now Sa young-who have been stirred and stimulated by bise lectures and by personal contact with him. But one example might be noted. Dr. N. S. B. Gras, now head of the department of busi- ness bistary at the Baker Gradu- ate Scbool of Harvard University, t bas credited Dr. Tamblyn with being a continuing influence through bis career.. Plenty of others of us, wha have no sucht dlaims ta distinction can look back witb pleasure ta Dr. Tamblyn's lectures and also ta bis eager and stimulating, personality. Neyer Grows OId Whatever the calendar may say, Dr. Tamblyn can neyer grow old, because he neyer loses interest in people and the world they are constantly developing. His ex- pression suggests bis mental alertness. He would have felt at home witb Athenians on Area- pagus, for like tbem he is always eager "ta tell or ta hear some new thing." Despite his un- doubted scholarsbip be neyer sug- gested the ivory tower type, He bas a keen sympatby for the un- derdag, and among bis favroite pdéts; are- those who sing the1 sangs of freedom. He likes ta meet with people and daes nat confine bis interests ta academic circles. At one time he wrote newspaper editorials for bis great friend, the late M. W. Rassie. 0f course like most beloved personalities he bas bis faibles. Sometimes bis concentration on scholarly speculation became sa intense as ta cut bim off from. bis immediate surroundings. There are many legends, slanderous no doubt, wbich depict hlm. as the very archtype of absent-minded« professor. A n y graduate of Western can recallbaîf a dozen. Dr. Tamblyn did bis under- graduate work at the University of Toronto. He belonged toaa group wbich produced two prime ministers of Canada and a British peer. Mackenzie K in g and Hamar Greenwoad were class- mates and Arthur Meigben gradu- ated a year later. Dr. Tamblyn recalls that even in thase days Mr. King was somewbat addicted ta oratory, and was a prominent figure in the celebrated students' strike of the period. One of the most familiar sights in the aid days wben the unai- versity sbared the Huron College buildings was Dr. Tamblyn on bis bicycle, and after the Arts College offI bi lcture -ta observe, "Would the gentleman bebind be good enough ta take bis feet out of Mr. Crawford's ears?. I have something ta say that he might like ta bear." The feet were re- moved. His wit and fellowship with student feelings were evident in the history of the university which Dr. Tamblyn wrate in A ift Suggestion Marr's Jewellery s M*ft .arflr'. ('-. .' - ýiqm@r
