Said Dr.‘ Johnston, "We hope the week will foster a sense of pride on the part of the Canadian public .in the notable accomplishments of our universities. The future well-being of our 'country is inextricably tied, to the health of our higher education institutions. The economic and social "development of our society over the paSt several decades was due in large measure to work that began on our university campuses. We want to remind the public that the universities are an essential part of our community." Most NUW activities will take place on individual university campuses. Costs will be kept to (a minumum by re-scheduling exhibits, public lectures,” open .houses and other events that might normally be held at other times in the year, to coincide with the Week. The four regional and provincial university associations will coordinate cooperative events within their jurisdictions and, with the AUCC, will plan Canada—wide activities.- .
