FRANKLIN BIALYSTOKFranklin Bialystok’s intention in high school was to join hiscohort at UC. As it turned out,he didn’t qualify. Nevertheless,he persevered, and only 32 yearslater he earned his doctorate inhistory from York University.Beyond his academic interests,he has a passion for basketballand jazz and being with hisgrandchildren.

FRANCESCO GALASSI (BA 1981 UC)Francesco (Francis) Luigi Galassipassed away on January 2, 2015at the age of 55, following avaliant battle with cancer.

Born in Rome, he came toCanada when he was 18, andattended the University ofToronto, ultimately graduatingwith a PhD in economics. Hetaught economic history at various universities in Canada,Spain, England, and Italy formost of his career and had anextensive publication record.Most recently, he worked as a research economist for theCanadian federal government in Ottawa.

Francesco had just publishedhis first book, Catiline, theMonster of Rome: An AncientCase of Political Assassination(Westholme Press, 2014).

His life was also about his family and friends and he was known for his warm andconstant hospitality. He is greatlymissed by his colleagues andformer associates in academia.He is remembered for his singular courage, strength,humour, intellect, and faithfulness.

Francesco is survived by his wife, Caroline Sewards (MLS1988 U of T), and their two children, Anna and Julia. Hisconcern for their well-beingafter his death echoes the sentiments of the Roman soldier of 2100 years ago, whom he describes in “WhyBother with History?” (page 12).

SHELDON GORDONLike Leonard Waverman, thealumnus he profiles on page 32(“Leading by Example”), free-lance writer Sheldon Gordonhas no plans to retire any timesoon. He’s devoted four decadesto journalism, including stintswith the Toronto Star, theFinancial Post, the CBC, and the Globe and Mail. Born inWinnipeg, he has lived andworked (and curled) in

Montréal, Ottawa, and Torontoand reported from Japan, India,and Sri Lanka. He devotes hisfree time to volunteering.

JANE WOLFFJane Wolff is an associate professor at the John H. DanielsFaculty of Architecture, Landscape,and Design, and also teaches inthe Department of Art, Universityof Toronto. Her research investi-gates the complicated landscapesthat emerge from interactionsbetween natural processes andcultural interventions.

Her subjects have ranged from the western Netherlandsand the California Delta, topost-Katrina New Orleans, theshoreline of San Francisco Bay,and the metropolitan landscapeof Toronto. But her projectshave the same aim: to articulatelanguage for these difficult—and often contested—placesthat can be shared among thewide range of audiences with a stake in the future, fromexperts and policy makers, to politicians and citizens.

Briefly

IF YOU'LL PERMIT, I’d like to suggest that the discontinu-ation of the “In Memoriam” section, over the occa-sional regrettable error, is tantamount to, if you’llforgive the clichéd aphorism, throwing the babyout with the bath water. Mistakes of this sort areembarrassing to publishers as well as those who

IN THE SPRING OF 2014,UC Magazine ceased publishingthe long-standing section “In Memoriam,” a list of alumni who had recently passed away. Thedecision was made after we erroneously listed analumna as deceased, owing to a mistake in ourrecords. Since then, a number of alumni haveexpressed their disappointment with the removalof the section. See below for Will SteevesMancini’s (BA 1991 UC) eloquent argument in defence of “In Memoriam,” for example.

In light of your feedback and the larger message of the late Francesco Galassi’s (BA 1981UC) beautiful piece, “Why Bother With History?”(page 12), we concede that we perhaps acted too hastily in discontinuing “In Memoriam.”Therefore we have reinstated the section starting with this issue. Please flip to page 49 for a list of classmates who have passed awaysince we last published such notices.YVONNE PALKOWSKI (BA 2004 UC)

Letters

find themselves needing to pen a “Rumours of my death have been greatly exaggerated” letter,but are, in my humble opinion, generally rareenough that dispensing with the entire sectionseems a tad, well, extreme.

During my years on the UC Lit, I was known (or more often, pilloried) as a crusader forunpopular causes, so let me once again boldly be the fool who dares to go where angels fear totread, and explain why I support this column.

When I first started receiving UC Magazine, I skimmed through it and didn’t pay particularattention to “In Memoriam”—until I saw the first entry under “1990s” and did a double-take. I remembered many of my fellow students,including the first departed from my own class of 1991, and I was shocked to see her name.

Since those days, I have read UC Magazinemoreattentively, including “In Memoriam.” Should I happen to see the name of someone with whom I have lost touch, I may decide to contact thedeparted’s family to include my condolencesand/or make a donation (anonymously or other-wise) to the departed’s favoured cause or charity.Perhaps others may choose to do the same, but it is simply not practical to, as you suggest, to contactthe UC Advancement Office with a list of name(s).WILL STEEVES MANCINI (BA 1991UC)

KEYNOTEPrincipal's Message



WITH UNIVERSITY COLLEGE’S SPECIAL ROLE as the oldest andfounding college of the University of Toronto, itis not surprising that members of the UC communitytake history seriously. In a recent survey of thismagazine’s readers, we heard requests for morecoverage of the College and its history. Thus inthis issue of the magazine, UC faculty and alumniexplore the evolution of the College’s physicalstructure (Jane Wolff, an architecture professorand a UC member, who writes about the main UCQuad), its diverse student body (Frank Bialystok,a lecturer in the Canadian Studies program at UC,who examines how Jewish students were the vanguard for a truly pluralistic UC), and theCollege’s relation to the idea of history itself(Francesco Galassi, a UC alumnus and historian).

As a philosophy professor, I too take history seriously, in my case, the history of philosophy.Ever since I first started studying the field, I havebeen interested in how we have come to think ofsome problems as pressing, and how the conceptswe use to understand our situation carry withthem certain assumptions that often pass us by.The task of the historian of philosophy is, amongother things, to excavate what remains hidden in our intellectual heritage.

To that end, I have recently completed a book on the philosophy of the great eighteenth-centuryScottish empiricist and sceptic, David Hume(1711-1776). In Hume’s True Scepticism (Oxford

University Press, 2015), I explore Hume’s use of sceptical challenges to reason and to sensorybelief in the service of his account of the mind as dominated by fundamentally non-rationalprocesses of association.

I became interested in Hume because of his naturalistic focus on humans as complex animals,whose instincts lead us to understand the worldaround us in our distinctively human ways. But he also argues that there is no guarantee that our minds get the world right. Unlike theisticphilosophers such as Descartes or Locke, Humedoes not believe in a God that ratifies our capacitiesto know. Indeed, it is because of this limitation thatthe sceptical arguments Hume explores havetheir grip. But, despite their plausibility, he showsthat they ultimately fail to persuade us. When weattempt to follow them, their reliance on the verycapacities they investigate means that they under-mine their own structures. They cause confusion,not conviction.

Hume illustrates his point in the climax to his investigation of scepticism, when he narratesfor the reader a mounting sense of dread, and ultimately a complete paralysis. He takes himself tobe “in the most deplorable condition imaginable,inviron’d with the deepest darkness.” He says hesuffers from a “philosophical melancholy anddelirium,” the only escape from which is to dinewith friends, engage in conversation, or play agame of backgammon. He then learns that hedoes not need philosophical vindication of hiscognitive capacities in order to sense and to reason as well as is humanly possible.

My book opens with the statement that “Hume is an ambivalent philosopher.” On the one hand,he thinks that philosophy improves our under-standing of our situation. On the other hand, philosophy holds dangers, either the nervous collapse he illustrates for us in his exploration of scepticism or a dangerous self-deceit, wherephilosophers dogmatically assume that they havewhat he takes to be an impossible insight into thedeep structure of nature. But Hume thinks thatno one needs to become a philosopher. WhereSocrates took the unexamined life not to beworth living, Hume holds that an unexamined life is just fine, if you are not the kind of personwho is curious about abstruse matters.

It is sometimes said that historians of philosophyend up telling their readers more about them-selves than about the philosophers they study. Itoo am an ambivalent philosopher, both attractedto the investigation of the human condition andslightly maddened by our incapacities to know.The University College community offers me a

respite from my own “philosophical melancholyand delirium”—colleagues from across a range ofdisciplines who teach me things well outside of my areas of expertise; students whose energy,enthusiasm, and thirst for knowledge energizeme; staff, whose devotion to the mission of theCollege is truly exemplary; and alumni whorepeatedly demonstrate that a UC education has taken them to success after success.

One of Hume’s slogans urges: “Be a philosopher;but amidst all your philosophy, be still a man.” In my case that means balancing my interests inthe history of philosophy with the pleasures andchallenges of the historic University College.

FOCUSWhy Bother With History?



AUTHORFrancesco Galassi

ARTISTPierre Mignard

Still, is history bunk? If used aspolitical propaganda, it is—butthen is that history? Probablynot. But other than that—no, it’s not bunk.

Historical novels and films areblockbusters—think of Gladiatorsome years back, the success of which cannot be explainedsolely by Russell Crowe’s athleticframe. Audiences the world overpay their hard-earned wages toread or watch historical talesand documentaries that havecost millions to make. You can-not fool all of the people all of the time.




Jungian archetypes may be trotted out to explain history’sappeal: it presents the fight ofgood against evil, light andrebirth against darkness anddeath. But not all history showslight’s triumph over darkness,and in any event this mayaccount for an interest in story-telling in general, not specificallyhistorical storytelling. The fave-las of Rio de Janeiro, the drug-fuelled violence in Mexico, thebloodbath in Sudan, embodyarchetypes just as well.

Yet we like historical tales: wekeep watching and reading them.They matter to us. Why?

Historians offer two reasons.The first is that the past explainsthe present. Why is Canada abilingual country? Because set-tlements in New France were toonumerous and well rooted to beabsorbed by the British after theTreaty of Paris of 1763. Why isChina suffering terrorist attacksby Uighur nationalists? Becausethey feel culturally distinct fromChina’s Han majority, and greatlyresent control from Beijing.




The second answer is moreinvolved. The idea is that historymatters because it hides in thefolds of its cloak “lessons” fortoday. If you understand whathappened in the past, you willunderstand what is happeningtoday. Pick a recent example:Putin’s contention that his invasion of Crimea in spring2014 was meant to protect local Russians, echoed Hitler’sequally egregious nonsenseabout protecting SudetenlandGermans in 1938. We all knowwhat followed. This is history

as repetition, and its lesson is,don’t appease dictators. Again,an eminently sensible reasonwhy history matters.

There may be flaws in both“history as regression” and “history as repetition.” Theformer leaves little space for free choice, the latter dependson conditions really being quitethe same. Neither reason isobviously wrong, but they are,shall we say, bloodless. Cold.Insightful in an intellectual way,objectively important, useful tointerpret events. But studentsyawn at them, and find refuge

in the thought that historyis bunk. Nobody went to watch Gladiator to betterunderstand power politics in an imperial court.

Something is missing in ourexplanation of why historicaltales speak to us. What?

I suggest looking to Greekmythology. Zeus, father of the gods, took a fancy toMnemosyne, the personificationof memory. No one knowsexactly how she felt about him,but he was after all top god.

Their tryst produced nine sistergoddesses, the Muses, repre-senting knowledge and the arts.Two of them—Calliope (“thebeautiful-voiced”) and Erato(“the desired”)—embodied epicand lyric poetry. A third—Clio(“she who recounts and makesfamous”)—personified history.

History, then, is the twin sisterof the poetry of conflict andthe poetry of love.

This is the third (and, I submit,the real) reason why we botherwith history: we read and writehistory because we are human.And humans are filled withpassions: love, hatred, anger,empathy, envy, greed and generosity, lust and regret, pity and arrogance, fear andjoy, hope and despair. Whenwe read history, we read aboutthe passions of the past. Theyare, we soon discover, the sameas our own today. That discoveryreveals who we are: we sharewith people from the past thecore of our being. Historyidentifies, expands, and refinesour humanity.

This is not rhetoric. Let mequote from a letter written by a soldier the night before adecisive battle. He knows the

enemy force is much larger andbetter equipped. He knows hischances of survival are virtuallynothing. He can only give oneletter to a messenger who willslip across enemy lines and ridethrough the cold of a Januarynight. He writes to a friend:

I would like to write more, but an army is marching against me.Now all I can do is beg you totake care of my wife, asking thatyou should protect her, and helpher in all things, for the sake ofyour own children. It is all I ask.

You understand his feelings. He is afraid, the enemy is pow-erful. He asks you to help hiswife, who will survive him. Whyshould you? Because you loveyour own children, and in thatlove you recognize his love forhis family. If you recognize ityou will see why he asks you toprotect the object of his love.Nothing could be simpler. Ormore human.

Those few lines are a mix of pain, fear, love, hope, trust,and regret. Each is familiar toyou, to me, to all of us. In factyou can imagine a Canadian soldier writing the same words in the veldt during theBoers’ War, or in the mud of Passchendaele, or beforeembarking for Juno Beach.

In fact, those words are 21 centuries old. The writer was a Roman nobleman whorebelled against the corruptionof his native city and died inbattle the day after writing thatletter. But the messenger gotthrough, and 2100 years later

we can still read the soldier’swords. And his words build abridge between him and us:across an unimaginably widespan of time, they tell that youand I share the same feelings asthis man. He was one of us, justlike uncounted soldiers overthe centuries. You don’t needto have been there: read hiswords and feel what he felt.

Realizing that others share our own feelings is the sourceof human empathy. And historygives us access to the passionsof people we will never meetbut who were motivated by the same feelings as ourselves.Even the feelings of madmenimprove us as human beings.Mein Kampf teaches us as muchabout our weaknesses asGandhi’s My Experiments withTruth teaches us about ourstrengths. The awareness ofshared passions builds empathyand extends tolerance andacceptance to all humanity. Youcan’t kill people whose feelingsyou understand and share.

So read history.It makes you human.

REPORTThe History of Jewish Student Life at UC



AUTHORFranklin Bialystok

ith the creation of the UC Alumniof Influence awards in 2012, 134former students have been honoured of whom, from my imper-fect assessment (based on namerecognition and bibliographic infor-mation), 58 are Jews. Further, given

that few Jews attended university until afterWorld War I, of the 122 honourees who graduatedafter 1927, 64 seem not to be Jews. While we do nothave concrete statistics of Jewish enrollment at UC,it is unlikely that Jews ever constituted a majority.Consequently, it would not be an overstatementthat the impact of Jewish alumni has been out ofproportion to their numbers. This discussion

Enrollment rose through the30s, although many potentialcandidates had to leave theirstudies to support their familiesduring the Depression.Nevertheless, 7.2% of the first-year students at U of T in 1935were Jewish, by far the largestrepresentation of ethno-culturalminorities in the city. Theywere vastly overrepresented incertain fields, notably medicine,where in 1932 they comprised27% of the student body.

University College opened in1853 as a non-denominationalcollege. As the University grewin the nineteenth and earlytwentieth centuries, colleges withaffiliations to various Christiandenominations federated with U of T (notably Victoria, St.Michael’s, and Trinity), thoughUC remained the only non-sec-tarian option for arts and sci-ence students until the 1960s.

Thus when the children of thefirst wave of Jewish immigrantsfirst started attending U of T,during the inter-war years, in aperiod of rising antisemitism,they did not have an option butto enroll at UC. Even so, theatmosphere for Jewish studentsat U of T was not easy. TheUniversity, for instance, kept atally of “Hebrews” in the 1920s,and its president, H.J. Cody, was a Fascist sympathizer. Whilethere were no established quotasfor entrance, there were fewopportunities for career posi-tions. The Toronto GeneralHospital allowed only one

Jewish resident per year whileestablished engineering andarchitectural firms were closedto Jewish candidates.

Yet, it appears that UC provideda haven. While anti-Jewish senti-ment may have been expressed,the children of immigrantsbecame comfortable within theircollective. Some were elected tothe Literary and Athletic Society.Louis Rasminsky (BA 1928 UC),Bora Laskin (BA 1933 UC), RevaGerstein (BA 1938 UC), andRose Wolfe (BA 1938 UC) areamong notable College gradu-ates. The most detailed docu-mentation of Jewish enrollmentin this period is a notebook kept by Evelyn McAndrew, anemployee in the UC Registrar’sOffice. Her survey found thatthere were 161 “Hebrews”enrolled in 1941-2, representing17% of the student body.i

In the immediate postwardecade, the immigrant com-munity along Spadina was intransit to tonier neighbourhoodsin the boroughs of York andNorth York. Alan Borovoy (BA 1953 UC), a graduate ofHarbord Collegiate, the majorsource of Jewish students, went

“up the hill,” as it was called, to St. Clair. He recalls that in 1950,there was “a feeling of inhibition”by Jewish students, “a reluctance” to come out fully as Jewish.

Borovoy feels that while therewas a sizeable Jewish presence at UC, by 1953, there was a “freeflowing relationship across eth-nic boundaries” and that “Jewsand non-Jews collaborated inextra-curricular activities.”Indeed the Lit Executive had

is a glimpse at Jewish student life at UC from its documentedonset to the present, within thecontext of the evolution ofethno-cultural diversity inCanadian society. This discus-sion also posits that Jews werethe vanguard of diversity atUC—the first of many ethnic or other groups which con-tributed to the composition of the College.

The great migration of Jews and other Europeans from the1890s to the early 1920s con-tributed to Toronto’s emergence.In 1891, there were some 1400Jews, representing less than 1%of the city’s population; 30 yearslater, there were 35,000, consti-tuting 6.7% of the population.University education was adream for the immigrant com-munity, so it wasn’t until the1920s that we have some senseof a Jewish presence at U of T.




a growing Jewish membership.Martin Friedland’s (BCom 1955UC) election as its president wasindicative of this trend.

In this period, the gradual erosion of traditional barriers to Jews in employment andopportunity and their socioeco-nomic ascendance meant that ahigh proportion of Jews went onto post-secondary education. Assuch, UC developed a reputationas “the Jewish College.” A curso-ry glance of the Junior CommonRoom (JCR) wall’s list of themembers of the Lit Executivereveals that, from 1958 to 1966,about 55% of its representativeswere Jewish. Michael Bliss (BA 1962 UC), in his memoir,remembers that the JCR wasreferred to as “the JewishCommon Room,” not in a disparaging tone, but as a matter of fact.

The Colleges were a beehive of extra-curricular activity. Fromathletics to music to drama, theywere an essential aspect of thestudent experience. At UC, theactivity most associated withJewish students was the annualFollies. They were a series ofcomic sketches, performed overthree consecutive days inNovember at the Hart HouseTheatre. They were produced,composed, and written by thestudents, and behind the sceneswere students involved in sales,publicity, costumes, lighting, and set construction.

It’s unclear when the Folliesbegan and when they ceasedproduction (at some point inthe 1970s, though they wererevived in the 1990s as a theatretroupe). From the 1930s, therewas a strong Jewish presence andflavour to the Follies. In 1938,the Follies were directed by LouWeingarten, who was betterknown as Johnny Wayne (BA1940 UC), and co-produced byFrank Shuster (BA 1939 UC). In1945, the cast of Anything WarmWill Do included Murray Davis(BA 1948 UC), Roy Frankel (BA1946 UC), and Lloyd Bochner(BA 1947 UC), who went on to astellar career on stage and film.

At the apex of Jewish life at UC,the Follies of 1964 could havebeen termed, the “Jewish Follies.”Arnold Shoichet (BA 1965 UC)directed the orchestra, PaulHoffert wrote the score, RobertIscove choreographed, AlanGordon (BA 1955 UC )designed the production, thePomerantz brothers, Earl (BA1966 UC) and Hart (BA 1962UC), were the writers, andLorne Lipowitz (BA 1966 UC)directed. Lipowitz changed hislast name to Michaels, joinedHart Pomerantz as a comedyteam on CBC, and was thefounder of Saturday Night Live,

welcome at Trinity,” and “Vic and St. Michael’s might as well have been on anotherplanet” because they were onthe other side of Queen’s Park. According to Gluskin, the JCRwas where “the long-hairedfreaks” congregated, as theRefectory had become the preferred destination for Jews.Since the mid-1970s, the ethno-cultural diversity at UC that hadmade it a “Jewish college” hasbecome more representative ofthe Canadian social fabric. Thisis the primary factor in explain-ing the changing face of UC.One indicator of this change hasbeen the composition of the Lit

and Hoffert was a founder of the band Lighthouse. Michaels’ first wife, Roz Shuster, FrankShuster’s daughter, becameSaturday Night Live’s head writerand was part of a huge Folliescast and crew that includedfuture luminaries such as RosalieSilberman Abella (BA 1967 UC)and Diane Loeb (BA 1966 UC).

Bob Rae (BA 1969 UC) joinedthe Follies to “meet girls” and

“was the only guy who was a goy,”chosen “to be the straight manwho would mispronounce everyYiddish word.” A major explana-tion for the Jewish presence inthe Follies lay in the heritage ofJewish music, comedy, anddrama that provided an impetusfor popular North American culture. For Canadians, this heritage was most evident in theunforgettable contribution ofWayne and Shuster.

With the establishment of NewCollege in 1962 as the secondnon-sectarian institution, andthe opening of its first building in1964, Jewish student life started

Bialystok (BSc New 1971), whobecame my wife, reports havinghung out there, hoping to meetUC boys. We assume that thisendeavour worked in reverseas well.

The late 60s and early 70s werethe height of the Jewish pres-ence at UC. From 1966 to 1973,58% of the Lit was Jewish,including most of its presidents.Max Gluskin’s (BCom 1936 UC)son, David (BA 1968 UC), wason the Lit Executive. Daviddescribed Max and his cohort as “closet Jews.” As for why UCbecame the place of choice forhis generation, it was primarilythe same as for Max’s years:

to change. New College quicklybecame an alternative destina-tion for Jewish students, appeal-ing in part to the children ofworking-class parents. Second,York University’s campus hadopened and was a draw for manyJewish students, especially thoseliving proximate to its campus orattracted by its interdisciplinaryapproach. Third, the northern,Laidlaw wing of UniversityCollege was built. It housed the UC library, and its basement,facing the playing field, was thesite of the Refectory. This rathergloomy room soon became a meeting point for Jewish stu-dents across the campus. Ellen

Allie Cuperfain (BA 2011 UC)relates that in her graduatingclass of 180 at the CommunityHebrew Academy in Toronto,nine classmates chose U of T, of whom approximately fourenrolled at UC. Danielle Klein, a current UC student and theeditor of U of T’s student news-paper, The Varsity, came fromOttawa and chose UC at the sug-gestion of her parents and familymembers who were alumni.

Although Klein was told that itwas the “Jewish College,” she saysthat “nothing was what I thoughtit would be at UC.” In fact, UChas been “a major hub… givenme a lot, but not the Jewishexperience.” For her, that hascome from the Jewish Studiesprogram and her current intern-ship in Shoresh, a Jewish environ-mental project. For Cuperfain,the Jewish connection was Hillel,the Jewish learning initiative,and the Jewish Federation ofStudents. Nevertheless, bothKlein and Cuperfain contendthat only a small fraction ofJewish students (at U of T) areinvolved in Jewish organizations.

Klein remarks that “the Jewishpresence is nostalgia,” but thatUC remains “a welcoming com-munity for… minorities, such as LGBTQ.” It’s notable that this atmosphere was enhancedduring the tenure of SylviaBashevkin, the College’s onlyJewish and first female principal.

Bashevkin, a professor of politicalscience, joined UC in 1996 andwas principal from 2005 to 2011.She highlights the creation ofthe Commuter Student Centre,in part because of Jewish alumniwho brought attention to theneed to create a stronger bondbetween the 85% of studentswho lived off campus, and the




Executive. From 1974 to 1982,Jews constituted about 35% ofthe board, falling to about 25%in the 1990s. From 2006 to thepresent, there have beenapproximately 16 Jews on theExecutive and about 300 stu-dents from other backgrounds.

During this period, UC hadbecome only one option forincoming Jewish arts and sci-ence students. In addition toNew College, Innis College,founded in 1964, opened itsmain building in 1973, thedenominational colleges becamefar more welcoming to studentsof other faiths, and the profes-sional undergraduate facultiesincreasingly offered alternativesto arts and science. More sig-nificantly, Toronto Jews wereensconced in the Canadianmainstream, becoming moreestablished, confident, andsecure. As such, U of T was nolonger the automatic choice forits children. In the last threedecades they have increasinglychosen to leave Toronto forother Ontario universities, forMcGill, Dalhousie, and UBC,and to the Ivy League and liberal arts colleges in theUnited States. On a personalnote, a cursory look at 21 chil-dren of my friends and familywho were born after 1970 showsthat two attended U of T asundergraduates.

College. She notes that Jewishfaculty and alumni have main-tained a significant Jewish pres-ence. She adds that the growthof non-sectarian colleges anduniversities since the 1960s have “emulated the outstandingUC example of opening doors to students regardless of their backgrounds.”

The Jewish student experienceat UC, tentative and fragile inthe first half of the century,assertive in the third quarter,and subdued since then, is amicrocosm of the CanadianJewish experience and a chapterin the creation of multicultural-ism in general. UniversityCollege was a chapter in thejourney from the immigrantneighbourhood adjacent to theUniversity, to the Canadianmainstream. In this odyssey, UCmoulded two generations of Jews,and they, in turn, contributeddisproportionately to the spiritof the College and, as alumniand faculty, to Canadian society,paving the way for otherminorities to UC. This story isworthy of memory and shouldbe inscribed in UC’s history.ii

CAMPUSQuiet, Green, and Orderly



he peaceful space of Laidlaw quadrangle, designed by renownedCanadian landscape architectMichael Hough, was part of anextraordinary chapter in his earlycareer—and at the University

of Toronto. The quadrangle, at the centre ofUniversity College, is an iconic space. Quiet, green,and orderly, it evokes the self-contained courtyardsof medieval monasteries and old English universi-ties. Despite its apparent seclusion from the busylandscapes of the rest of the University, archivalevidence suggests that the courtyard needs to beunderstood in larger contexts: the reimagining ofthe St. George campus in the 1960s, the develop-ment of the curriculum of the University’s degreeprogram in landscape architecture, and thecareer of its young designer.

Even though we think of the quad as essential tothe life of University College, it was not built until1964, when the construction of the Laidlaw wingseparated the college from back campus. An 1856plan by architects Cumberland & Storm entitled

“Toronto University Buildings, First Study” i showsUniversity College with an enclosed courtyard ofapproximately 195 feet by 235 feet surrounded by a screened cloister, an interior hallway with win-dows onto the court. As the design evolved, thebuilding became a three-sided U, open on thenorth side. When the Laidlaw Library buildingwas designed by Mathers & Haldenby in the early1960s, the courtyard was finally enclosed.

Michael Hough’s design for the Laidlaw quadrangle,which opened with the library, constituted a con-temporary interpretation of the essential featuresof a university courtyard. Unlike the first study forUniversity College (or its Cambridge and Oxfordantecedents) the new court’s four sides were

extremely different from each other, and there was not a consistent cloister walk at the perimeter.Hough, then employed as the University ofToronto’s landscape architect, used planting andearthworks to create a coherent space that did notdepend on its varied edge conditions for integrity.His design translates the essential feature of amonastery or college courtyard—access from insidethe building to a covered walk around an open centre—from architecture to landscape. The pro-gram for the opening of Laidlaw Library includesthis description of the new space:

“Hough… has designed the new quadrangle on two levels. A paved walkway, supported by retainingwalls and planted with flowering shrubs, runs alongthree sides of the area. On the north side, the walk-way broadens out into a terrace, forming an exten-sion of the new Library colonnade, with provisionfor outdoor seating and later, it is hoped, for apiece of sculpture. Two sets of steps on the northand south sides of the quadrangle lead down to a large lawn which will occupy the central space.Maples planted at this level will increase the “colon-nade” sense by providing shade over the walkway,contrasting with the sunny lawn area. The wholehas been designed to create an atmosphere of quietreflection, appropriate to an academic setting.” ii

Hough’s design evokes the feeling of older courtyards and cloisters without slavish historicism.It creates consistency while accepting the varietyand idiosyncrasy of its four sides, for instance, byconfining the walkway to the three sides of thecourtyard with access from inside to outside. It usesabstraction to convey ideas: trees evoke columns,and the low walls surrounding the lawn emphasizethe special quality of the courtyard’s centre.

The enclosure and design of Laidlaw quadrangleeffected a radical spatial transformation of theUniversity’s central grounds. Previously, UniversityCollege had seemed like an object building, anedge between the large, open lawns of King’sCollege Circle and back campus. The courtyardmade University College into its own place, created a semi-public space of a different scaleand character from what existed on either side,and emphatically separated the ceremonial entry to the university at King’s College Circle from theinformal playing fields of back campus.

That the design of the Laidlaw quadrangle affectedthe reading of its surroundings speaks to MichaelHough’s deep involvement in the evolution of theUniversity’s grounds in the early 1960s. The court-yard was one in a series of spaces he designed whileemployed by the University of Toronto planningoffice, including Philosophers’ Walk (1962), theentry plazas at the Ramsay Wright ZoologicalLaboratories (1965), the master plan of the St. George campus (1965, with John Andrews andDonovan Pinker) and the master plan and sitedesign of Scarborough College (1964, with JohnAndrews and Michael Hugo-Brunt). (Hough,Andrews, Pinker, and Evan Walker also designedthe master plan for Erindale College in 1966, thistime as consultants to the University.)

These projects embodied a range of scales, typesand ambitions, and together, they suggested a newidea about what sort of place the University shouldbe. Laidlaw quadrangle was a modern interpretationof an archetypal university landscape. However,Hough’s other projects had significantly differentimages and sources. Philosophers’ Walk followedthe route of Taddle Creek between Bloor Streetand Hoskin Avenue. The creek had been buried in the nineteenth century without any trace on thesurface of the ground. Though its route through a combined storm and sanitary sewer preventedHough from revealing the stream, his designrecalled the ravine through which it had run andoffered pedestrians a picturesque walk amongnewly planted canopy trees. The entries to theRamsay Wright Zoological Laboratories, at thecorners of Huron Street with Harbord Street andClassic Avenue, featured dramatic geometric pavingpatterns that created visual spectacle on the streetand from the building’s upper stories.

Hough’s work also put forth radical ideas at a campus scale. The St. George campus master plan,like many urban planning documents of the post-war era, wrestled with the impact of the automobileon the pedestrian-centred life of the university. Itargued for the segregation of cars to the perimeterof the campus, where they would park in above-ground garages. With president Claude Bissell’ssupport, the plan also called for the suppression of St. George Street between College and Harbordto create a pedestrian precinct that stretched fromQueen’s Park to Huron Street. The December 1966issue of Varsity News reported a demonstration bystudents in October of that year in favour of theproposal; the demonstrators blocked traffic andlaid down turf along St. George Street to suggestthe benefits of putting the road underground.iii

Finally, the plan called for an expansion to thenorthwest to accommodate graduate facilities,including a new main library, and to the south forhousing. The Scarborough College plan, whereHough’s ideas drove the siting of buildings as well as the detailed landscape design, preserved thecreek and ravine that ran through the existinglandscape and suggested a linear building thatfollowed the terrain.

Hough’s work as a landscape architect at theUniversity of Toronto extended beyond the physicaltransformation of the grounds: his projects for theUniversity were carried out as he was planning thelaunch of a new academic program in 1963 and1964. The School of Architecture admitted its firststudents to the new bachelor’s degree program inlandscape architecture, led by Hough, in 1965.Hough described the new course to the Varsity asconcerning “the planning of land areas for beauty,health, safety, and, of course, utility….” iv In a 1968talk at the Garden Club of Toronto, he urged mem-bers’ children to consider landscape architecture as a profession and described the ambitious scopeof the curriculum, whose subjects included studiodesign (partly in collaboration with architecturestudents), botany, ecology, physical geography, andconstruction technology:

“There are many new areas of knowledge that we must look into today… the problem of estab-lishing… dialogues with the social scientists andpsychologists so that we may contribute in a moremeaningful way to the physical environment ofthe city: also, the problem of establishing commu-nications… with engineers, geographers, botanists,foresters, and other physical scientists…. Ourobjective is to turn out students who can thinkcreatively about problems at every level, and whowill be able to fill the many posts in governmentand private practices in Canada.” v

Hough described the university grounds as a laboratory to test ideas about landscape architecture and design education. In an interviewwith the Varsity in December 1966, he said,

“The University itself is a proving ground for thework of landscape architects, which the young menand women seeking a place in the profession maysee, appraise and criticize if they wish.” vi

The program, which became a master’s degreecourse in 1999, emerged as one of the strongest inNorth America and continues to further Hough’scommitments to urban landscapes and to the nego-tiation of natural process and cultural intention.

Michael Hough’s early work at the University of Toronto laid out a set of concerns that wouldoccupy his long and distinguished career. Hisdesign firm, established as Michael Hough,Landscape Architect in 1963 and eventually knownas ENVision—The Hough Group, was responsiblefor some of Toronto’s most important landscape

eonard Waverman (BA 1964 UC) looks back happily to his undergraduate years atUC. “I remember the old chemistry room,the Junior Common Room, the hallways,the gargoyles outside,” he says. “I could walkthrough it with my eyes closed. It was ahome away from home for me. Actually, itwas better than home. It was so much fun.”

Waverman, 73, has enjoyed a full academic career—threedecades as a Professor ofEconomics at U of T, a decade

at the UK’s prestigious London Business School (LBS),an appointment as Dean of the University of Calgary’sHaskayne School of Business, and—since January,2013—Dean of McMaster University’s DeGrooteSchool of Business. In 2012, he was honoured with a University College Alumni of Influence award.

Yet his four years at UC in the early1960s still occupy“a special place in my heart,” he says. “It was a verywarm, friendly, welcoming institution.” Why did heaffiliate with UC? “Because of its liberal reputation,”he says. “I never thought of going anywhere other than University College.”

He became friends with fellow UC students such as Ira Gluskin (now an investment manager), FredWebber (now an arbitrator) and Diana Bennett (nowan artist). In 1963, he served as social director on theUC Literary and Athletic Society (UC Lit)—the oldestdemocratically elected student government in Canada.It was a formative experience for him.

Years later, he took his grandson to the JuniorCommon Room, where a wall panel lists all the students who were on the UC Lit Executive. SaysWaverman: “That really impressed him when he saw my name!”

This deep attachment to UC underlies the $25,000donation that Waverman and his wife, Eva Klein, aProfessor of Psychiatry at McMaster University, havemade to UC for the restoration of a library alcove.“When I was tired,” he recalls, “I would find one of thealcoves with a big leather seat and take a nap. That’swhy I wanted to refurbish an alcove. It’s where I slept.”

Waverman and Klein liked contributing to a buildingproject, having established a graduate scholarship ineconomics at U of T when they married 12 years ago.

“University College is a venerable building which has to be renewed,” says Waverman. “These days, theprovince of Ontario just has no capacity to do that. Soit’s critical that alumni step up to the plate—or rather,to the building.”

He adds: “This is where we all shared such good times. It made us who we are. So we should give back,according to our means. Education made such a hugedifference to our lives. It’s not just what I learned inclass but also outside of class. It was leadership that Ilearned at UC.”

Klein is a professor in McMaster’s Department ofPsychiatry and Behavioural Neurosciences. A PhDclinical psychologist, she has specialized in organiza-tional change, personal change, and leadership. Prior to joining McMaster in 2013, she spent five years asProfessor of Organizational Behavior at the HaskayneSchool of Business and six years as a Teaching Fellowat the London Business School.

She describes that, UC was “the entrée to a widerworld than [her husband] had previously experienced.He has such warm feelings about his undergraduateyears there that I’m enthusiastic about supporting thisproject with him.”

L

Waverman says his father had wanted him to studymedicine, “but the sight of blood made me nauseous.”Commerce and finance, though, intrigued him. “Inthose days, it was mainly economics and math. In myfirst economics class, I was, like, ‘Wow, this is theoreticalyet applies to the real world.’”

Waverman seemed destined for an accountancy career. He majored in accounting while working at a chartered accounting firm on Fridays to earn money for tuition.

However, two of his economics profs, Mel Watkins andthe late Donald Forster, persuaded him to continue intheir field. He did a Masters in economics at U of T, taking Marshall McLuhan’s famous seminar in media andsociety. He then applied to the Massachusetts Institute ofTechnology (MIT) for doctoral studies in economics.

When it came to choosing between Waverman andanother applicant for a spot in the PhD program, amember of MIT’s selection committee who was usuallysilent spoke up: “Everyone we let in is a clone ofeveryone else. But look at Waverman. He has a letter of reference from Marshall McLuhan.” It was a donedeal, and so began a brilliant career in academe.

Hired by the Department of Economics at U of T,Waverman broke new ground in research on energypipelines. But in the mid-1970s, when the Washington,DC-based Brookings Institution invited several youngeconomists to write papers on regulated industries, hisspecialty was already spoken for. So he shifted hisresearch focus to the telecom sector, which sharedcharacteristics with pipelines.

His research on mobile phones and economic growth became the subject of an Economics Focussection in The Economist magazine in 2005. He wasrecognized in 2009 as one of the world’s 50 mostinfluential thought leaders in the telecom industry by Global Telecoms magazine.

Waverman became a visiting professor at the LondonBusiness School in 1997. “I’d never been in a businessschool before,” he says. When his sabbatical ended, LBShired him as a full professor. I became more entrepre-neurial, more business-focused, and moved away fromteaching my electives in economics to teaching MBAs.It ultimately led me to being a Dean.”

As Dean of the Haskayne School, he started an EnergyMBA and launched the Canadian Centre for AdvancedLeadership in Business, which put ethics at the core ofthe curriculum. He says the tagline was, “Ethics is notan elective.”

Now, in his current position, Waverman is bringingtogether the best faculty and students from the busi-ness and the health sciences schools in a joint graduateprogram in global health. DeGroote is also launching anew Executive MBA program in digital transformation.

“A big part of my job as Dean involves fundraising,” saysWaverman. With the gift to UC, he’s leading by example.
