Starting in '36, Nordau proceeded to breeze through the B.Sc. course, majoring in Geology and received the Governor General's Medal in '40. Nordau played intermediate football and was an active member of Tau Epsilon Phi Fraternity. In '41 he interupted his studies to go into the R.C.A.S.C. This year he returned to continue his studies for an M.Sc. and was chosen as the Rhodes Scholar for Nova Scotia. Generous and with a good sense of humour, next year he will be Oxford's again.
