Towards the 200th Anniversary by paul w. gooch As we near the grand finale of Victoria University’s 175th anniversary celebrations, it is tempting to dream of the history about to be made in the next 25 years. Is there anything to be predicted about Vic on October 12, 2036, when the then-members of the university and its two colleges gather for bicentennial celebrations? Probably very little. But we can still dream and resolve to realize our expectations in the next quarter of the 21st century. Let me indulge in a little prediction, mixed with a larger dose of speculation. It’s likely that the crowds who gather will mirror the diversity of Canada’s urban populations. They will live mainly in the GTA, but a higher percentage will have made their lives abroad. Among our 20,000 new alumni, over 70 countries will be represented, with 1200 alumni in Asia and another 1200 across the globe. Our efforts in encouraging a broad education will have paid off. Every Vic student will have been challenged to do some study elsewhere. Intellectual breadth will be achieved with extra-curricular programming, the model for the most desirable college experience anywhere. What will students study in 2036? Though we can’t accurately predict, we will have made the first year a special one for them. Everyone will enjoy a Vic One-type experience: a personal education where students are names, not numbers. In upper years, our dedicated programs will continue to honour the name and legacy of Northrop Frye, and our academic relationships with institutions such as the Royal Ontario Museum and the Gardiner Museum will be the envy of the cultural world. With endowed programs, Vic will attract the best, regardless of means, and enable them to experience our hallmark broad education. Who will the Emmanuel College graduate be? Ordained ministry will remain a second-career choice for some, but more students will be interested in connecting theological issues and religious inquiry to all manner of human endeavours. Emmanuel will be the preeminent school in at least two areas: theological inquiry in a multifaith context and outstanding doctoral work, in conjunction with U of T. A significant number of current alumni will participate in the 200th anniversary of Victoria University. Among them will be Canada’s outstanding authors representing Vic’s future literary tradition. In public service, there will be a number of political leaders, some cabinet members, and (let us not be timid in this dream) another prime minister. About 750 grads from our concurrent teacher education program with OISE will be devoting their lives to education. Thousands will be in business. Vic will be widely known, not just for its contributions to culture and public life, but also for its entrepreneurs and for science leaders who were supported in their undergraduate education here. Among those graduating over the next decades, many will stay in touch with each other because we will have in place the best alumni relationship-sustaining program in the country. It will be an invaluable resource for Vic’s students, and because alumni are valued members of the Vic family, they will generously support student aid and programs. Vic’s campus, featured in the cover story on page 8, will continue to be a place of tranquil beauty in the city’s core. The Goldring Student Centre will be full of memories. Northrop Frye Hall will have been completely refurbished. Annesley Hall will be air-conditioned with a stateof-the-art climate control system. Victoria University will have spent over 50 million current dollars by 2036, apart from any major renovations or new construction. On past patterns, it will be the fifteenth or sixteenth president who will welcome alumni back to Vic in 2036. But this, the twelfth, is confident that in its evolution, Vic will be the same strong Victoria University we celebrate this year, rooted in those values of personal and inclusive education of mind and spirit.  2

Launch of Norman Jewison Stream for Imagination and the Arts Blake Goldring Donates $1 Million to Expand Vic One Program This September, Vic welcomes the first cohort of students into the Norman Jewison Stream for Imagination and the Arts. This new stream of the Vic One program was made possible through the generous gift of $1 million from Blake Goldring Vic 8T1. In recognition of Goldring’s generous gift, the Blake C. Goldring Professorship will be established within the stream. Albert Moritz, Griffin Poetry Prize winner, is the inaugural holder of the professorship. “As a poet and a citizen, the relations between personal creativity and the surrounding society have always fascinated me,” says Moritz. “The course gives me and the students a chance to explore this human reality that isn’t just ‘crucial,’ it’s in fact unavoidable, it’s all around us: every single person lives it, whether he or she wants to or not. And the course will give me, personally, the opportunity to present and deepen my faith that art is not a reflection of society but a source of society and social health, the irreplaceable source of creativity, which is in fact the same thing as humanity, and the same thing as pleasure, and the same thing as hope.” The establishment of the Norman Jewison Stream for Imagination and the Arts is inspired by the creativity and vision of renowned filmmaker, and Victoria University’s 12th chancellor, Norman Jewison Vic 4T9. “Norman, apart from being an outstanding film-maker, is known for using his artistic talents to fearlessly confront injustice and challenge hypocrisy. This stream will celebrate creativity, and nurture critical thinking,” says Goldring. The five streams of study within Vic One explore ideas and events from a multidisciplinary perspective, in small classes

of only 25 first-year students. The Norman Jewison Stream for Imagination and the Arts will provide students with the opportunity to study how the arts play an integral role in confronting the social problems of the time, and to develop an original creative work addressing a social issue. “We are very grateful to Blake Goldring for providing the means to make this special experience possible for students,” says Paul Gooch, president of Victoria University. “It’s a great privilege to recognize the remarkable life and work of one of Victoria’s most distinguished graduates in this way.” 

Paul Huyer: A Dedicated Focus Boston Marathoner, Triathlete and Chair of the Board of Regents Training for the Boston Marathon requires organization, commitment and enthusiasm: “You’ve got to make it a priority and not sweat the small stuff.” Paul Huyer Vic 8T1, ombudsman of TD Bank Group, would know. He achieved his personal best in the Boston Marathon this year and recently qualified for the Canadian team to compete in his age group at the 2012 World Triathlon Championships in New Zealand. He brings the same excitement, focus and philosophy to his position as chair of the Board of Regents. Huyer believes that the Board has obligations to all students—to honour the legacies of past graduates, provide quality for today’s students, and ensure resources are in place for the classes of tomorrow. Highlights from his first year as chair include extending President Paul W. Gooch’s term and the installation of Chancellor Wendy Cecil Vic 7T1. In June, he was thrilled to participate in convocation. “It was amazing to be a part of the procession, to look back at the grads in their gowns,” says Huyer. “It’s exciting to think about what they will become and what they might achieve. It makes everything we do worthwhile.” He is excited about the Goldring Student Centre. “It will give commuter students a first-rate space to gather and hold events.” He also has a particular interest in the broad theological direction in which Emmanuel is headed. The next few years will be critical for Vic. The Board hopes to carry forward President Gooch’s initiatives for quality student experiences including Vic One, beyond-the-classroom

programming and international opportunities for study. Huyer is confident about Vic’s future. “We make great use of our skilled alumni on the Board,” he says. For the remainder of his term, Huyer will work with the Board in the same way that he works on his training—with dedication, commitment and everlasting enthusiasm. 

At this year’s Spring Reunion celebrations, Chancellor Wendy Cecil Vic 7T1 presented Ronald MacFeeters Vic 3T6 with a 75-year Chancellor’s Medal. MacFeeters toasted the College at the Principal’s Dinner on May 27. He fondly reminisced about Vic’s 100th and 150th anniversary celebrations and was pleased to celebrate Vic’s 175th. MacFeeters took a three-year arts degree and admits to not being the “best” student. “The Hart House pool room was open a lot,” said MacFeeters. With a wealth of memories of Vic and its environs, he was happy to reminisce about all-night bridge sessions; 10-cent cups of coffee at Diana Sweets on Bloor Street; shenanigans in the mens’ residences, instigated mostly, it seems, by the future doctors and engineers of his day. When asked about his favourite space on the Vic campus, MacFeeters wryly answered, “There was a library … that some people went to.”

THE ARCHITECTURE OF EDUCATION

VICTORIA’S BUILDINGS REFLECT A LONG AND RICH HISTORY

Victoria University, originally Upper Canada Academy, in Cobourg, Ontario.

estled between a commercial district, government buildings and museums, stand the buildings of Victoria University. But as recently as the 1990s, Vic looked very different. There was no Isabel Bader Theatre, there were tennis courts. E.J. Pratt Library was a dark, low-tech building. Many of the tall buildings that now surround the campus were in the blueprint phase. And going back 120 years ago, the Victoria College Building (Old Vic) was the only building. A lot has changed. The mélange of buildings on campus represents an evolution in architecture and design, an awesome display of over 100 years of history. When Victoria University moved from its former home in Cobourg, the original building was converted into an insane asylum for women. In 1892 the principal building, at the time called New Vic, was built in Toronto. It was designed to accommodate 600 students, and in its first year 226 students, of which 14 were women, attended. The building represents Romanesque “revival” style. It also has Grecian

vic report autumn 2011

features, which were inspired by some of the college buildings found in New England and New York State. Old Vic matches nicely the style of its close neighbour, to the south, the Ontario Legislative Building. The rough texture of the red sandstone and grey limestone reflects the back-to-nature ideals of romantic naturalism. Some argue that the Grecian aspects of Old Vic violate the strict rules of proportion of ancient Greece’s Doric order. Critics say the three-storey columns above the front entrance are too tall for their width, and the design of the main entrance is, in places, too wide or too narrow. The outside of the building features assorted carvings of animals, plants, and human faces, with Plato and Bacon over the front door. The building boasts three storeys, plus an attic, and includes a lovely chapel on the second floor. The chapel is adorned with stained-glass windows, displaying images of Martin Luther, Isaac Newton, Thomas Milton, and John Wesley, as well as the Vic crest and motto abeunt studia in mores (studies pass into

character). These images were designed to represent a mixture of sacred and secular knowledge, reflective of the liberal arts tradition of education at Vic. Regular morning services were held until the late 1960s. The third floor was designated for theology studies and as a meeting place for clubs and societies. It was also used to store museum artifacts and specimens, which are now housed at the Royal Ontario Museum. English professors J.D. Robins Vic 1T3 and E.J. (Ned) Pratt Vic 1T1 are believed to have practised their golf strokes on a putting green in the attic. It was decided that if enrollment were to increase, student accommodation would need to be offered. Surprisingly, the first residence was not Burwash, but Annesley Hall, the first purposebuilt women’s residence in the British Commonwealth. Annesley opened in 1903, and represented a monument to Vic’s belief in higher education for women. One hundred years later it was recognized as a National Historic Site of Canada. The handsome building is made of red brick and cut stone, and features an elegant

doorway. The residence offered three floors with double and triple rooms, and included the Tackaberry Library and a music room. The women enjoyed a skating rink behind the building, and used the front lawn to play tennis, basketball and croquet. The building and furnishing cost was $90,000, and represented a revolution in women’s education. This amazing feat would not have been accomplished without the tireless fundraising efforts of the Victoria Women’s Association (VWA), which will celebrate 115 years in 2012. Seven years later, Vic’s campus doubled in size with the addition of Burwash Dining Hall and the BirgeCarnegie Library. Both buildings were designed by the firm Sproatt and Rolph (designers of Hart House), and were completed in 1910. The library and hall were built to emulate the style of the buildings at Oxford and Cambridge, and represent the “robust and masculine” collegiate Gothic style dating back to 17th-century England. These neo-Gothic buildings had become the trend around U of T: Knox College,

Trinity and Hart House, for example. Each is Georgetown grey, constructed with Credit Valley ashlar, with trimmings of Indiana limestone. The style emphasizes harmonic proportions, and features massive windows, carved figures and heavy oak doors. The Birge-Carnegie Library was mainly financed by Andrew Carnegie. He built 2,811 libraries around the world, in part to avoid the “moral disgrace” of dying wealthy and because of his strong belief in a literate public. He paid $50,000 of the total $75,000 cost, and Cyrus Birge, a wealthy Vic alumnus, paid the rest. The building interior features stucco walls, oak woodwork, a dark slate roof, marble staircases, and a Bath Stone-carved statue of Queen Victoria. Before the library was built, the Vic collection was kept in what is now Alumni Hall in Old Vic. The old library served as the main Vic library until construction of the E.J. Pratt library was completed in 1961. It is the home of Victoria University’s Archives and formerly housed the United Church of Canada Archives.

Burwash Dining Hall was named to honour chancellor and president of Victoria, Nathaniel Burwash. It features large, tracery windows on both sides. The hall—used now for dining and social functions—is tall and elegant, featuring the portraits of Burwash and Chester Massey (whose family paid for most of the construction). At the other end, Queen Victoria’s standard is proudly displayed over high table, where faculty continue to dine today. The Burwash Houses, North, Middle, Gate, and South, that adjoin Burwash Dining Hall, were completed three years later, in 1913. The residences are grouped on the east side of an open quadrangle, and were also modeled after the Oxford and Cambridge residences. Each residence contains 25 to 30 bedrooms and a common room with a fireplace on the ground floor. Until the mid-1990s, the four houses remained exclusively for men, but today, all the houses are co-ed. The campus was concentrated on the northeast side of Queen’s Park. But this changed for a brief period when Mr. and Mrs. E.R. Wood donated their vic report autumn 2011

Queen’s Park mansion, “Wymilwood,” to Vic in 1925. It was to be used as a space for women students. Eventually, Vic traded Wymilwood with U of T for a stretch of land on Bloor Street. In 1952, the new Wymilwood building was constructed on the east side of the park as part of an effort to keep Vic geographically intact. It was designated for student clubs and events. The original Wymilwood mansion is now the Faculty of Law’s Falconer Hall. Today, Wymilwood is experiencing a re-birth with its transformation into the Goldring Student Centre, a renovation and expansion that will double the original size of Wymilwood. When it opens in late 2012, this updated and thoroughly modern space will enrich the Vic student experience. Across the way on Queen’s Park sits Emmanuel College. Emmanuel was built in 1930 as a physical add-on to the Birge-Carnegie Library, in the same style by the same design team. The building was constructed two years after the amalgamation of Union College with the Faculty of Theology of Victoria. Emmanuel College officially opened in 1931. The Depression and World War II hit Vic hard. Fourteen hundred Vic students enlisted and 76 died in battle. Enrollment was at a record low. Nothing was built during this period. The next building added to Vic was Margaret Addison Hall in 1959, named after Victoria’s dean of women from 1903 to 1931. The residence enjoyed the reputation of being “North America’s most modern and fullyequipped college residence for women.” It was built in response to the influx of baby-boom students, and allowed the number of women in residence to double. Margaret Addison Hall cost about $1.5 million to construct and furnish. The “contemporary design” was made possible by using reinforced concrete, with red brick panels and recessed windows. The excitement and anticipation of the residence inspired one report to include the statement: “Six storeys of glory with a twist in the middle, 200 girls spoiled by carpeted halls and kitchenettes, pianos, and pink and purple rooms.” The six-storey residence was built with two elevators, 10

vic report autumn 2011

60 double rooms, 80 single rooms, and on each floor a kitchenette, don’s room, and common room. The basement originally included “a room for storing full-skirted evening dresses and crinolines,” rooms for practising typing and piano, and a visitor’s cloak room. The first floor featured a large student lounge for parties and “informal entertaining,” as well as a student library and reading room. More recent renovations have converted most of these into residence rooms and a larger front lobby that houses Residence Services for all of Vic’s 780 residents and Events Victoria. The 1960s were a busy time for construction at Vic. It was decided that the president’s home would be razed in order to free up land for a new library. A.B.B. Moore (president from 1950 to 1970) remarked that the “house must have 30 rooms, or more.” The third floor was closed off because he and his wife Margaret “had no use for it.” In 1961, the New Victoria College Library (renamed the E.J. Pratt Library in 1967 after the Vic 1T1 graduate, professor and famous poet) was built, providing a much-needed resource for students, staff and faculty alike. In 1966, the New Academic Building opened; in 1983, it was named after internationally renowned Vic professor, scholar and alumnus, Northrop Frye Vic 3T3, Emm 3T6. For the library and Northrop Frye Hall, the architects used a red-toned Credit Valley sandstone, designed to coordinate with the shade of Old Vic. Curiously, the buildings do not appear red at all, and in no way match Old Vic. The two large, box-shaped concrete-like buildings represent the minimalist modernism of the 1960s. Rowell Jackman Hall was made possible, in part, by the generous contribution from Mary Coyne Rowell Jackman Vic 2T5 and was completed in November of 1993. The contemporary residence boasts luxurious suites which include a living/dining room and kitchen, with some including ensuite bathrooms. The eight-storey building includes an underground parking lot and can accommodate 236 students. Rowell Jackman Hall remained the newest and most contemporary building on campus until 2001 when the Isabel Bader Theatre opened. Alfred Bader gave

a landmark gift to Vic to build an elegant theatre in honour of his wife, Isabel (Overton) Vic 4T9. He called it a “gift of love.” Architect Peter Smith (of Princess of Wales Theatre and Power Plant art gallery renown) designed the modernist, multi-faceted building out of Owen Sound limestone, wood, grey stucco, exposed concrete and glass. The concrete and stucco walls are covered in ivy to complement the traditional style of the older collegiate buildings. The theatre has 500 seats and possesses superb acoustics. Designed as a “multi-use auditorium,” the theatre is used for plays, ceremonies, film screenings, and classes. The Bader Theatre remains the most recent building added to the Vic campus, but not the most recent architectural innovation. The E.J. Pratt Library also underwent a major renovation that involved gutting the inside and replacing it with a striking new interior. Architects Shore Tilby Irwin and Partners, in association with Kohn Shnier Architects, replaced the dark, wood design and antiquated mechanical and electrical systems with floor-to-ceiling glass walls, a large central staircase, red walls and polka-dots, skylights, and gorgeous tiled flooring. The student lounge in the basement overlooks the Lester B. Pearson Garden and its waterfall. The ceiling of the large first-floor reading room is made from round, non-reverberating ceiling tiles to absorb sound. The library’s Robert Farquharson Information Commons offers a multitude of computer workstations with internet and printing facilities. The renovations have also allowed for more natural light and more bookshelves. Since the library reopened on October 9, 2001, student visits have increased dramatically. Both the theatre and library have won awards for their designs. Victoria University has ensured that all new buildings and renovations, including the current construction of the new Goldring Student Centre, complement its rich architectural heritage. The diversity of styles reflects Vic’s long history and growth. Victoria’s landscape from Cobourg to Toronto is a 175-year-old mosaic, unique in character and spirit.  A special thanks to Sarah Houghton Vic 0T4 and the Victoria University Archives for all source material used in this piece.

focus on philanthropy

Celebrating the Support of Vic’s Alumni and Friends by deborah j. scott, executive director of advancement Commitment to Vic remained firm over the course of 2010–2011. I can proudly say that 2,230 donors contributed $2,154,903 and pledged an additional $949,869 to be paid in future years. Vic is so very grateful to all of its loyal donors— some of them new, some of them life-long supporters. I am happy to share some of our donors’ stories within the pages of this year’s donor listing. You will be inspired by their reasons for giving. It is comforting for me to know that as Vic celebrates the end of its 175th year, our donors are ensuring scholarships, bursaries, improved resources and spaces for generations of students to come. Your financial assistance guarantees a continued tradition of excellence. This donor report recognizes everyone who contributed $100 or more to Victoria College or Emmanuel College between May 1, 2010, and April 30, 2011. Only gifts to Victoria College or Emmanuel College are included. While all donations are appreciated, space limitations preclude the listing of all donors. An asterisk (*) following a name indicates that the donor has passed away subsequent to making his or her donation. Every effort has been made to list names accurately.

â&#x20AC;&#x153; Both the Dale Anne Freed Bursary and Scholarship represent the values that Dale Anne stood for in her professional as well as personal life. Dale Anne strove for excellence, truth, and justice. She had an unquenchable and courageous curiosity about the world and great empathy for those in need and for those who fight the good fight. Her desire would have been to enable the next generation to have the same enriching university experience.â&#x20AC;? The Family of Dale Anne Freed The Dale Anne Freed Scholarship and Dale Anne Freed Bursary Donated by family in memory of Dale Anne Freed Vic 7T2 (pictured left). The scholarship is awarded to Victoria College students achieving excellence during the course of their studies. The bursary is awarded to students with financial need.

“ Victoria College is our home and our family—it made us as a couple. We met here in 1967, we learned here and it has since defined us, shaped us and nurtured us. Vic has been a touchstone for our lives and it prepared us for our careers. It’s different at Vic—there is a sense of community here; we have been well cared for and so we want to do the same for students.” Drs. Gillian (Smiley) Vic 7T0 and Kenneth Bartlett Vic 7T1 The Victoria Annual Fund and Beyond Generous donors for over 30 years, the Bartletts have given to the Victoria Annual Fund, past Victoria campaigns, Victoria’s Performing Arts Endowment, and the Goldring Student Centre. They have also confirmed their bequest intention which will provide a financial award to a student for summer travel, and a fund for art restoration and acquisition for the University.

Building Interfaith Bridges While some gifts to the University are visible, there are many more that provide something less tangible, but no less real. These are the gifts of knowledge, insight, experience and opportunity. As a result of two gifts this year, one from the Canadian Dawn Foundation and another from Moez Kassam, Emmanuel College has recruited bioethics expert Abdulaziz Sachedina for its burgeoning Muslim studies program. Both donors were pleased by Emmanuel’s appointment: “Prof. Sachedina demonstrates that Islamic values and beliefs are harmonious with the pursuits of truth and enlightenment, the very core of the academic enterprise. I feel deeply privileged to be able to support Prof. Sachedina in his academic endeavours at Emmanuel College,” states Kassam. The two donations will sustain a three-year appointment for Sachedina as distinguished visiting professor of Islamic studies at Emmanuel College. “My Emmanuel College appointment is an opportunity to develop an important program of building interfaith bridges of cooperation through training the right kind of Muslim leadership in the Canadian context,” says Sachedina. “I see this as an opportunity for me to advance practical knowledge about how Islam taught in the university can advance the well-being of all humanity. This is what I learned as a graduate student at U of T. I see a strong relationship between academic study of religion and spirituality, which leads to strong commitment to service for all human beings.”

Heritage Donor Spotlight “Why did we decide to leave a legacy gift to Victoria College? The answer is quite simple: it is because of what Victoria gave to us. We were undergraduates in the late 1960s, studying traditional humanities subjects (history for Keith; English literature for Pam). The critical thinking, techniques of analysis, attention to language and detail that we learned in those years have been important to us at every stage of our lives. They are skills that took us through graduate studies at other universities (University of California, Berkeley for Keith; Cambridge University for Pam), but perhaps more importantly, they are skills on which we could draw for many challenging and unforeseen life decisions, large and small. Victoria also gave us a community. We had both grown up in small, southern Ontario cities, and attending the University of Toronto was our first experience of living in a large city. Living in residence made it easy to make new friends and meant that there was always someone to share a meal and discussion at the end of the day. Indeed, without the social life of the College, we might not be a couple: we met at a dance sponsored by our two residences, Burwash Hall and Margaret Addison. We hope that our legacy will benefit future students at Victoria at a time when change and innovation continue to accelerate, and when postsecondary education will become more and more important for any society that reflects on its values, on the sharing of resources, and on opening up possibilities for all its citizens.”

Pamela Vic 7T0 and Keith McCallum Vic 6T9 have made a generous bequest intention to benefit Vic students.
