1988 Annual Fund campaignsurpasses $500,000 goalM emorial's 1988 An?ual Fund ha,

exceeded eX!=lauons and sur­passed Ihe SSOO,OOOgoal set for thefundraising campaign. The Office ofAlumn i Affairs and Developmenlrq>orUthat a total of S6:z9,240has beendonated to uie university as of Jan. 18,1989.

"We're going to double Our bollomline for lasl year," says Kevin Smuh,director of alumni affairs and develop-­ment, noting that there are IWOmonthsremainingbeforethecampaigncloscsonMarch 31. The 198:7Annual Fund raised$330,927.

Inadramaticrise,corporalesupporthas increased by alrnosr 400 per centsinceI987,foralotalofS280,4111.Alumni giving is up by 64 per cenl, from

S82,US in 1987 toS 134.839 in 1988.Faculty and staff have donaled Orplcdged(lhroug./tpayrolldeduclion)more than SgS,OOO, a 131 percenl in·crease over Ihe previous year. Contribu­tions have also increased fromolhergroups, inc1uding parenlJ and friends.

"This is only the second year of ageneral appeal and we're extremelypleascdwilhit,"Mr. Smilhsays. "TheAnnual Fund ha.. become an umbrellafund for all gifts 10 rhe umversuy.vIn1\l87the uruversuy launched the Annu­al Fund as a general community-wideappeal to support rhe universuy. Foreight yean prior, the eampaigo wasdirected almo<! solely at Memorial'salumni

Mr. Smith isgralifled. by the supportshown by the umversuycommumtyrorthe Annua l Fund. "Everyone soennstobe a liltle more a part of this whole thingbecausc tile mnnies that oomein are forlllcbenefiloflhcwholeuniversily."Bc­sides making general or unrestrictedcomributions to the university, donorscan also designate lhe irgifts to supportscholarships, or specific faculties,schools or areas of Memorial.

Donations to support scholarshipshave climbed from S76,417 in 1987 to$ 148,829 in 1989. There have also beennotable increascs in donatiollS 10 theMemorial UniversilY An Gallcry andthe Sir Wilfred Grenfell College, whichto date have received S24,510and

m,w respectivdy. Gifts were madeboth in·kind and in cash. In 1987thcscareas received almosl nothing throughthe Annual Fund.

Mr. Smith also aunbutes the successofthcl988eampaignlolhcalumnioul'rcachprogram. "We're noticing thatdonation. are up, particularly wherethere is a strong, active alumni chap­ter," he says. There are now 18 chap­ters of Memorial's alumni associationacross the country.

Though tile 1988 Annual Fund is stillunderway, Mr. Smilh thinks that thesuccess of the eurrcnt campalgn augurswell for the 1\l89 drive. "We feel goodaboullhisyearandareexlremclyop­timisticabout next ycar."

Her empathy for Amazo nia "gaveher an unu,ual power to expres s its mysterious beauty". May she rest in peace.May OIherscontinue her labors.

Another artist has the same eye for precise detail, due to his love of nature.I refer to my friend and colleague Glen Loates, who has been sketching and poliOl_ing since the age of .ix. His early childhood Toronto home was next to a cemeteryand it was there among the monuments and ,tones immortalizing the dead thatGlen first found,amon8slthegra.. , weeds, trees and gravesite s, a living worldthat awaited and whetted his nascent arti stic skills. His deep sensitivity towardthe life forms he rccreates on canvas, padorcards,istherool sourceofhis ex­traordinary skill al depiction with scientific precision. So it was with Margaret Mee.

Take a selection of Glen's rroductionssuch as the American bald eagle, the'Siberian tiger , the blue jay cr the Arctic wolves. What looks at you fromthe paperisas near a representation of that panicular life form as on e could wan t.AsGlenhimself put s it, " ldowhat ldotothebest ofmyabilitics."Though I had longbeen an admirer of hi, work, Glen wales first became known to me personallyapproximatelyl8monthsagothroughourmutualinterestinthe giantsquids. HisenthusiasticassociationwiththeanimalhilJiheenlongerthanminesin~itdates

from his first reading of Jules Yerne as a child. l ndeed, his firsc allempt to com­mit the arctnteurhid to paper was at the age of 16. It was this same spirit whichtook Glen and me to the bottom of the Atlan tic Ocean in the Canadian Navy'ssubmersible SD LI last November as member s of the Beebe Project tearn. Earlier,as part of the Beebe Proj ect, Glen had descended 10 a depth of l.S miles in tileCa ribbean Sea on a dive which lasted 17 hours in searc h of the six-gill shark withCalif ornia's Ur. Euge nie Cla rk.

Aphra",oflenassociatcdwithGlen'sanisticendeavorsis"a bru,hlOjthlife."Ob\'iously the romance and the spirit of adventure which he brings to hisendea vorsextend beyond our coastline and ha\'e led him to paint life forms in their natu ralhabit ats even at the bottom of the ocean. Allhough his voyages into thedeplhshave been more exten.,i"e, Glen i. not the first to have attempted to paint mari~organisms on the sea bottom. That distinction goes to a litlle-known Austrian ba­ron, one Eugen von Ransonnet-YiIlez , born in 1838. A traveller thro ugh his car=in the diplomatic servi~, he saw many of the world' s "exotic places" and sailedon most of its seas. 1t was on the Red Sea in 1863 that he first sketched the faunaof co ral reefs as seen from a boat. By the following year , in answer to a desir eto see them closer, he sketched and painted the corals while'submerged.

Crude indeed was his gear, but remember it was 1864. For three months hedescended into the coosta! seas off Ceylon , now Sri Lan ka, sill ing on a bench wi_thin theconfincsofanunderwaterbell,square,madeofsheetiron, andapproxi­mately a metre high. Round windows permitted him to make observations, andanair·linetohi.surface"tender"su,tainedlife.givinga reasonably dry enviro n.ment in which 10 make his oil paintings. The iron bell was secured by cannon balls,wrapped in nettin g hanging from the squared corners, and anchors wereprovided10 fix his position in currents. Despite the rcspiratory self-pollu tio n of his bubb leof air, von Ransonnet-Yillezspent up 10 thr ee hours at a time beneath tile water,fascinated nOl only by what hesaw but with theopportunitytorecorditincolor,in shadow, and with the reality of it all.

Intheeourseofthispioncerin8activilY,Ransonnetpaintedthecolor.ofIhewater through which he descended, recordin g the penl'lration of light ancns er­feet on what his artist's eye perc ei\cd. How weill remember our calling off thedepth metre readings every ~O feet 10 Glen wales within the SO LI on a Bonavistadive. For each depth interval he record­ed the hue of turquoise blue or emeraldgreen or black which therechatacterizedthe sea.
