Our second inductee was born in Matelot and attended St. Mary’s from 1959 to 1965. He was a bright boy, who excelled in Math. He would go on to win first place in the world in his final Accounting exam. He practised for several years as an accountant at Pannell Fitzpatrick in the USA as well as in Trinidad and Tobago and, just 33 years old, he was appointed an independent senator in the 1981-1986 Parliament. Alwin Chow moved from the accounting profession to become the managing director of the Trinidad Publishing Company and Trinidad Broadcasting Company. He immediately began to make his mark there introducing information technology into the news gathering and editing process. As interesting as those facts may be, that is not why he is being inducted today. Many people assert their belief in this or that principle. That belief may never be really tested during the course of a career or a lifetime. It is when that belief is challenged that we can know for sure that it is something we hold dear and truly believe in. When it is tested by powerful forces that have the capacity to inflict real harm, then we really know where we stand and whether or not we have the courage of our convictions. This was the situation in which Alwin Chow found himself. It was in 1996 after a new government had come to power in Trinidad and Tobago that Alwin Chow was tested. Press freedom was challenged, and the Guardian came under direct attack by the new administration following a front-page headline which was interpreted negatively as political bias. There was a demand for the resignation of the newspaper’s editor in chief. Alwin Chow resisted the demand which had been channelled through the newspaper’s owners, and he defended his editors and journalists. Eventually, Chow himself was fired, opening the door to the resignation of the editor-in-chief and several other editors and journalists, precipitating one of the seminal moments in the history of the media in Trinidad and Tobago. For his courage in support of freedom of the press and his contributions to public service, Alwin Chow is hereby inducted into the St Mary’s College Hall of Fame.
