Editorial

EDITORIAL Professor A. S. P. Woodhouse died on the 31st of October, 1964. He had been closely associated with this journal almost from its founding in 1931: as associate editor, co-editor, chief editor, chairman of the editorial committee, and finally chairman of the Honorary Advisory Board until his retirement in June 1964. He also served as general editor of the annual survey "Letters in Canada" from 1936 to 1942, from 1943 to 1947, and again in 1954, and some of his most important articles and reviews appeared in these pages. Indeed, as we have written elsewhere, it is not too much to say that the Quarterly was one important focus of all his manifold concerns, and reflects his influence on the development of scholarship in the humanities in this University and elsewhere. During these years the Quarterly has changed from time to time in layout and general appearance, and there have been changes of emphaSiS in editorial policy, but all associated with its production have profited from Professor Woodhouse's advice (often astringent) and from his example (always present), both continually directed to the best that could be done to make available to the academic community and to the cultivated reader generally the fruits of humane scholarship and criticism. ...
