provost, I find that I have to think about somany diverse things – everything from fund-raising to the state of the buildings – that Isometimes forget why I am here in the first

place, and that is, of course, for our students. Trinity College is itsstudents: our 1,700 or so undergraduates, and the approximately140 in Divinity. We used to teach more of them directly withinour own faculty, in such areas as French, German, Classics andEnglish, but that came to an end in the 1970s, when all three ofthe federated colleges found themselves in financial difficultiesand the university agreed to take over. Now we have only the Fac-ulty of Divinity left as a teaching department.

In the ensuing decades, we have recoupedsome of what we lost of our academic mission.We now have three interdisciplinary programsbased at Trinity: International Relations, Ethics,Society and Law, and Immunology. Many ofthe classes for these programs take place in ourclassrooms, and our library has special collec-tions to support them. While the programs areopen to all U of T students, we find that stu-dents who want to take them are inclined toenrol at Trinity. The College also has specialfirst-year seminars in a variety of subjects, from Unmuddlingthe Middle Ages to Putting Physics in Its Place.

Two years ago, we started a first-year program that we calledTrinity One (not very original, I admit, and if you have anysuggestions for a new name, I would love to hear them). Wetake in about 50 students and divide them into two groups, onewith an international relations focus and the other with anethics one. Each stream has two seminars per week, taught bysenior professors, and students also attend three lecture coursesduring the year. I am teaching in the international relationsstream, and it has been a wonderful experience. The studentsare bright, hard-working and interested, and because they arespending so much time learning together, they develop atremendous rapport. I only wish we could offer more places,but perhaps, one day, we will be able to.

Not all learning takes place in the classroom, and here I think Trinity still makes a great difference, by providing

students with an atmosphere in which they can learn and growinto maturity. Our John W. Graham Library offers many com-fortable places to read and think, and its librarians are alwaysavailable to explain the mysteries of the computer catalogue.Our dining halls, common rooms and the Buttery are greatplaces for students to gather and chat, and often they get tomeet our fellows and dons, who come from many of the Uni-versity’s disciplines. There is also a wealth of student clubs, fromthe venerable Lit – the oldest student debating society inCanada – to the new Charcuterie Club, which promotes TheAppreciation of Cured Meats among the Men and Women of

College. All of these give students a chance toparticipate and to find their feet in the newworld of university. Whether it’s tutoring high-school students or sponsoring a refugee stu-dent, our many volunteer activities help students to understand how important it is togive back to society. Trinity students, morethan those at any other college, also takeresponsibility for their own government andfor much of their own activities. This, I amconvinced, is how it should be.

I like to think we older members of the Col-lege are contributors in the process of helping students growup. Often we see awkward teenagers turn into self-assured, self-confident, educated young people. As I think back over myyears here, I like to remember the painfully shy students I metin first year who became leading lights in the Trinity CollegeDramatic Society, or who represented the University at debat-ing tournaments and conferences around the world. Often ourgraduates come back, or e-mail us to tell us what they are doing.They are pretty impressive and astonishingly eclectic: the vol-unteer in Tibet, the young journalist who covered the tsunamiin Indonesia, the Rhodes scholars at Oxford, the host of a pop-ular music program, the promising young novelist, the founderof a new dot.com company – I could go on and on. We are soproud of them all, and if we helped them at all on their way,we’re grateful that we were able to.

We’ll Drink to ThatPHILOSOPHY PROFESSOR

Mark Kingwell’s new book, combining cultural criticism, social history andclassic drink recipes, makes for one heady mixture. Classic Cocktails: A ModernShake expands on Kingwell’spopular column on drinks in Toro magazine, but it doesn’tstop there.

“The column has alwaysbeen about the literary and cinematic associations of classicmixed drinks,” said Kingwell, aTrinity fellow who teaches inthe ethics stream of the Col-lege’s Trinity One program.“I’ve expanded the literary sideof things in the book, so thatit’s now almost a treatise onhow cocktails function as char-acter, plot device, prop, or allthree.” Although Kingwell saysthe book is “not meant to be atall heavy,” it continues a cen-turies-old tradition of associat-ing alcohol with philosophy.

“At least since Plato’s Sym-posium, philosophers haveenjoyed, as a colleague of minesays, ‘linking thinking withdrinking,’” said Kingwell. “Awell-judged tipple loosens the

tongue and frees the mindfrom petty objections, makingfor the best kind of conversa-tion. Indeed, a stiff martini hasbeen known to make even themost tightly wound personwax philosophical.”Classic Cocktails is published byMcClelland & Stewart Ltd.

MacMillan said shortly before leaving

was invested as an Officer of the

of her newest plaudit in December

2004, it came as quite a surprise. “I

thought it was a joke at first,” she said.

“It was not something I had ever thought of, quite frankly.” MacMillan said she has no idea who nominated her,

but is very honoured.“I’m just delighted.You get this pin, and you’re meant to wear it all the time.Apparently some

people do actually wear it to bed on their pyjamas,” she said with a laugh.“But I think I'll give that one a miss.”

Doctorates Without Borders

Trinity College welcomed three new honorary Doctors of Sacred Let-

ters into its ranks in September. Journalist David Halton,The Rev. Dr.

Jae Joung Lee and banker Malcolm D. Knight were presented with the hon-

orary degrees during Trinity’s autumn matriculation.

“This is an honour I never dreamed of achieving when I first stepped into

these hallowed buildings,” said Halton in his keynote address to the incom-

ing class. Halton, who graduated from Trinity in 1962 with an honours BA in

History, recently retired from a 40-year broadcasting career with the CBC,

which included stints as a correspondent in Paris,Moscow,London and Wash-

ington. He used his speech to stress the importance of learning history.

“The study of history proved enormously useful to me in my career as

a journalist,” he said.“It taught me to guard against my own biases and opin-

ions.... It taught me the constant need for skepticism to counter the distor-

tions that often emanate from officialdom.” Halton will deliver the Larkin-

Stuart Lectures in March (see page 4).

The Rev. Dr. Jae Joung Lee, who graduated with a Trinity College doctor-

ate in Theology in 1988,was honoured for his significant work in the Anglican

Church of Korea. Lee served as Archdeacon of Seoul, and later oversaw the

conversion of Seoul’s St. Michael’s Seminary into a full-fledged university,

SungKongHoe University. In early November, he was appointed Minister of

Unification responsible for South Korea’s relations with Pyongyang.

Malcolm D.Knight, a 1967 Trinity alumnus and general manager of the Bank

for International Settlements in Switzerland since 2003,was honoured for his

contributions to international finance. Knight began his career as an econo-

mist in the 1970s as an assistant professor at U of T, but switched to policy

research when he joined the International Monetary Fund in 1975. From 1999

to 2003, he served as senior deputy governor of the Bank of Canada.

The Sound ofMusic John Tuttle is no stranger to

Trinity College. As University

Organist and choirmaster of

nearby St.Thomas’s Anglican

Church,Tuttle already had a

well-established relationship

with Trinity (the College even

bestowed an honorary doctorate on him last year). But in August,

Trinity cemented that relationship, appointing him as Organist and

Director of Music.The part-time appointment will allow him to con-

tinue his other duties, including teaching in U of T's Faculty of Music.

“I’m delighted to do it,” said Tuttle.“I think the chapel choir should

be one of the significant choral ensembles on campus.What I’m hop-

ing to do is to build it into a really fine church choir.” That mission will

require perfecting the singing of psalms and concentrating on the vast

repertoire specifically for Evensong, including canticles that are still

sung, daily in some cases, by cathedral choirs throughout the UK.

Tuttle also sees opportunities for further cross-pollination

between St.Thomas’s and Trinity:“St.Thomas’s is a wonderful mix of

liturgy and music. I'd like to see St.Thomas’s be there for Trinity as a

kind of working model,” he said.“I think it is already, from a liturgical

and musical standpoint.”

Tuttle will also be responsible for teaching in Trinity’s Faculty of

Divinity, instructing students in using music in worship and coaching

them through sung liturgy.“First and foremost I am a church musician

– that’s sort of the tugboat of the fleet,” he said, laughing.“It’s steady

work, and it’s important work behind the scenes.” But clearly it

remains an inspiration:“The liturgical repertoire is some of the most

beautiful music ever composed and, when used properly, it brings old

words to new life.Who wouldn’t want to be part of that?”

Getting Organ-izedMusic student Christopher Ku has the distinction of being the

youngest musician ever to be named a Fellow of the Royal Canadian

College of Organists, Canada’s national, interdenominational organi-

zation for musicians specializing in organ and church music. Ku, 22, is

currently the College’s Bevan Organ Scholar.The Bevan Organ Schol-

arship is an endowed program that helps cover the room-and-board

costs of the College organ scholar. Normally a U of T music student,

the Bevan Scholar is expected to live in residence, play at chapel

services and accompany the chapel choir.The scholarship is named

after the late Guy T.M. Bevan, a lifelong supporter of church choral

and organ music.The endowment was donated by his wife, Josephine.

Ku is in his fourth year at U of T’s Faculty of Music, majoring in organ

performance and studying with John Tuttle,Trinity’s organist and

director of music.

In Good CompanyJACK WHITESIDE (’63), AToronto lawyer, has beennamed the first chair of theGerald Larkin Society. Thesociety was established in2003 in the name of GeraldLarkin, one of Trinity’s mostgenerous benefactors.

Larkin never attended Trin-ity, but during his lifetime hedonated more than $2 millionto the College, a level of generos-ity made possible by virtue ofinheriting the Salada Tea

Company fortune. When Lark-in died in 1961, he left $6 mil-lion to the College, quadruplingits permanent endowment over-night. Never ostentatious, Larkinsought no public recognitionin his lifetime, but the Collegehas acknowledged his remark-able contributions in severalways, most notably by namingthe Larkin Building after him.

The Gerald Larkin Societycomprises Trinity donors whohave set aside a bequest to Trin-ity in their will, echoingLarkin’s contribution morethan 40 years ago. “Nonprofitorganizations turn to their sup-porters and ask them to remem-ber the organization in theirwill,” said Analee Stein, Trinity’splanned giving officer and thesociety’s staff liaison. “Thesegifts, large and small, are a hugesupport to the College.” Theannual Gerald Larkin Society

luncheon, hosted by ProvostMargaret MacMillan, was heldTuesday, Nov. 7.

Miss Trinity,We Presume?

Fourth-year Trinity student Elena Soboleva was one of the top

10 finalists in the Miss World Canada pageant held in

Toronto in July. Soboleva, who is Trinity’s female Head of Arts

for 2006-07, currently reigns as Miss Downtown Toronto and

was competing to represent Canada in the Miss World compe-

tition held in September. “I'd never done anything like this

before,” said Soboleva,“It was the summer and I was in the city,

so I decided to try it.” Although the tiara ultimately went to Miss

Peel Region, Soboleva said that placing eighth out of more than

30 seasoned contestants was

reward enough.“I greatly enjoyed

the experience,” she said, “It was

completely different from my nor-

mal life, and it was a great opportu-

nity to meet girls from across the

country and represent Toronto.”

Soboleva wasn’t the only Trinity student striking a pose last summer:Helen Chen,

a fourth-year Trinity commerce student, placed seventh in North America in the Miss

Chinese Cosmos Pageant held in Los Angeles in August and televised on Phoenix TV,

the Chinese-language satellite station.

The Other “F word”“I WAS JUST BOGGLED THAT Iwould be nominated for some-thing like this,”said Kiera Chion(’06) after beingnamed the recip-ient of the 2006Michele Lands-berg Award, ascholarship fromthe CanadianWomen’s Foun-dation recogniz-ing outstandingfeminist work bya young womanin media oractivism.

While at Trinity, Chion wasthe co-founder and co-editorof The *F* Word, a U of T-based magazine that covers pop-ular culture from a feministperspective. She also workedwith the Miss G_Project, a

lobby group aiming to institutea mandatory, province-widehigh school women’s studiescurriculum in Ontario.

The $1,000 scholarship,named for retired journalistMichele Landsberg, will con-tribute to Chion’s master’sdegree, which she started inSeptember through a jointprogram of York and Ryersonuniversities. “My primaryresearch will be on how grass-

roots feministcultural produc-tion can lead tosocial activismand transforma-tion,” Chionsaid. “I want toexamine alter-native forms ofmedia, such asblogging andindependentpublishing, andthe power ofthat in challeng-

ing one’s relationship to thedominant culture.” Whileacknowledging that themoney is nice, Chion said the scholarship is worthmuch more than that to her:“Michele is an idol to me. It’s fabulous.” ■

Microbiology, Macroachievement Professor Eleanor Fish, a Trinity College fellow, was elected a fellow of

the American Academy of Microbiologists in May. An immunology

researcher studying the body’s response to viral infections, Dr. Fish

was one of just two Canadians elected to the Academy in 2006.

“I was naturally very pleased to hear that I’d been elected,” she

said. Each year, candidates are chosen by a peer-review process for

their outstanding publication records, professional distinction and

awards, and peer-review activity. Dr. Fish said the recognition by her

fellow scientists was especially meaningful:“It's very gratifying to be

honoured by one’s peers and colleagues.”

was not the Buttery aswe knew it.

“A great deal of myyouth was misspent here,” Margaret MacMillan con-fessed to the skeptical crowd of well-wishers who hadcome to celebrate the publication of her latest book,Nixon in China. But on this cool autumn night, thedressed-up Buttery looked nothing like a place whereTrinity’s great minds go to slack off. A table laden withtiny moon-festival cakes, their pastry wrappers stampedwith doubtlessly auspicious Chinese characters, greetedguests as they arrived to help the Provost launch herbook in the standard wine-drinking, noise-making,appetizer-nibbling way. All hints of the room’s usualbetween-classes, eternal coffee-break feel were banishedby the tiny delicacies held out by women in boldlyembroidered coats: steamed har gow dumplings, appe-tizer-sized servings of chow mein, a rolled crepe ofPeking duck, and – could it be? – a miniature ham-burger that would have been completely out of placeexcept for the subject of MacMillan’s book.

When hamburger met har gow, everythingchanged – or so Richard Nixon told us after his earth-shaking visit to Mao’s Beijing in February 1972, thecentrepiece of MacMillan’s wide-ranging study.Despite her skeptical historian’s nature, she is willingto take her tricky title character at his word – at leastto the degree that her subtitle makes use of his catchyphrase, The Week That Changed The World.

But followers of MacMillan’s writings – and therewere many of them in the all-ages crowd that throngedthe Buttery – could spot a second, more personal ref-erence the moment the subtitle was announced. Whenshe came to Trinity from Ryerson University in 2002,it was just before the North American publication ofher epic book about the World War I peace conference,Paris 1919: Six Months That Changed the World: clearly,

her four time-challenged years at Trinity have managedto streamline her standards for global change.

“If we keep subdividing forever,” she joked, “bythe time I hit 90, we’ll be down to a nanosecond.”Still, it seems appropriate that she will leave Trinity asshe arrived, with the publication of a widely praisedbook about international affairs that lures readerswith its vivid use of historical detail. Even standing atthe podium in the Buttery, surveying her well-fed,good-natured audience, she couldn’t stop herself fromrecreating the equally relaxed moments from the past– during her student days, as it happened – whenNixon’s and Mao’s world began to alter forever.

“In the ’60s,” she said, “you had Soviet diplomatsgoing around to cocktail parties just like this one andsaying, ‘Hypothetically, what would you think if wedropped a nuclear bomb on China?’” It’s a sign ofwhat Nixon accomplished that big-power diplomatsaren’t nearly so free and open these days about theircocktail plans for Armageddon. But that mad, myste-rious Cold War world, I discovered in talking with theProvost a few days before her book launch, is muchless present in the minds of her students than those ofus who lived through it could ever have expected.

“I had a student ask me what the Chinese CulturalRevolution was,” she told me in an office crowded withbooks she was trying to find time to judge for a Cana-dian non-fiction award. “I’m of an age that takes it forgranted, but it made me realize there was a lot I’d haveto explain – which is great, because I love explainingthings.” That, in fact, is one of the great strengths ofNixon in China, just as it was for Paris 1919: it is dereg-ulated scholarship, freed from the more oppressive rulesof academic writing and ideally designed to inform theminds of smart young people who weren’t there.

among other things) before itremade itself into a research uni-versity. “I was lucky, in a way.There was no research mandate,so I could begin to write popu-lar history. History – the historyI like, anyway – is storytelling.It’s about how a fascinatingevent changes people, and itshould be entertaining asopposed to looking at smallerand smaller subjects and writingin an impenetrable language.There could be a feeling amongsome historians that I shouldn’t be doing this” – shedoesn’t read Chinese, for example, and relied on trans-lations – “but I’m too old to care.”

So she assumes very little historical knowledge onthe part of her reader, which allows her to tell a storywith innumerable lively, even excited, digressions intothe official weirdnesses of the period, such as the Cul-tural Revolution’s out-of-control destruction, and stillfind room for brilliant portraits of all the main playersand a steady, guiding narrative that isn’t reluctant todeliver judgments or pass on a good, gossipy story.

In the process, she finds she always starts question-ing her past assumptions. With Paris 1919, she remem-bers that she wasn’t prepared to think much of theBritish prime minister David Lloyd George – her great-grandfather, as it happens, whose exploits were praisedmore than she could stand at family gatherings – butemerged from her research believing that for a politi-cian, he acted bravely. Similarly, with Nixon in China,having been a left-wing student during the Vietnam era,she wasn’t predisposed to care for Nixon or Kissinger.

“When I was younger, my views were more blackand white. The assumption was that it was a right-

wing thing to be anti-Com-munist, and I could be senti-mental about the North Viet-namese – these simple littlepeople in pyjamas, as opposedto who they really were: toughrevolutionaries.”

In her “misspent” universityyears, effortlessly arguing withthe likes of her contemporary,Conrad Black, MacMillan wasconsidered a radical. At Ox-ford, where she did her gradu-ate work, she found herself in

the company of the leading members of Britain’s NewLeft, “being treated as a tame member of the bour-geoisie.” It left a sour taste, and her move toward thecentre has as much to do with rejection of that kind ofcondescending rudeness as it does with a growing resis-tance to revolutionary politics.

All the same, when it is suggested that her portrait ofNixon is surprisingly generous for someone whoprotested the Vietnam War and heard the lies of Water-gate, her response is: “This is what we do as historians.We look critically at the accepted version. In his mem-oirs, he comes across as a more complicated and sym-pathetic figure. The early-1970s arms negotiations werea huge breakthrough, and I believe that in foreign affairs,he was a liberal internationalist and a force for goodcompared with a unilateralist like George Bush.” Andreally, what storyteller could resist his mix of self-doubtand bombast, his longing to “dare greatly” on the worldstage, which was wrecked by his compulsion to lie andswear and cheat in the privacy of his own tape recorder?

Her portrayal of Henry Kissinger is a harder read,since so much of what we know of him comes fromthe great man himself. “He’s very aware of his place in

“If there is one word that sums up the Provost’s

approach to research,” says Maria Banda (’04),“it

is comprehensiveness.” Banda,who is now pur-

suing a doctorate in international relations at

Oxford,was one of the first recruits to Margaret

MacMillan’s Nixon in China research team, and

four years later she still remembers the Provost’s

guiding principle to discard nothing as trivial.

As a portrait of history-in-the-making,

Nixon in China is notable for its persuasive

attention to detail, ranging well beyond the

diplomatic give-and-take of the official version

to include memorable scenes of excited

American journalists filling their poker pots

with Chinese currency en route to the Peo-

ple’s Republic, and the usually masterful Henry

Kissinger fumbling with his banquet chopsticks

while a Communist band alternated corny

American barn-dance tunes with Cultural Rev-

olution showstoppers. Much of the book’s

you-are-there quality began with the work of

the young Trinity researchers who buried

themselves in university libraries and pored

over databases to find salient facts from the

world-changing days before they were born.

For Wynne Lawrence (’06),now a master’s

student in human rights at the London School

of Economics, the book that has emerged from all this patient

accumulation of detail “allowed me to see how sense/logic/nar-

rative/truth are ‘made’ in history through personal accounts,

diatribes, propaganda, factoids and memory.” Lawrence had

what some veterans of the 1970s might think was the unen-

viable task of wading through the demagogic exhortations of

the staunchly pro-China Albanian dictator Enver Hoxha, look-

ing at how his opinions shifted as Nixon cozied up to Mao.“It

actually wasn’t boring at all,” says Lawrence,who saw her con-

tribution as a kind of historiographic detective

work, drawing on an ability to discern the

Albanian leader’s sense of abandonment and

growing disappointment “amid his rhetorical

tricks and general ridiculousness.”

Lawrence was asked to find human details

that would flesh out the bare facts and admits

that it was “quite tricky” trying to guess in the

heat of the historical moment exactly what

evidence the Provost might be looking for.But

the nothing-is-trivial dictate must have made

research a lot more surprising and engaging –

she was especially fascinated by the oral-his-

tory testimonials of the State department’s off-

shore “China-watchers” from the unfriendly

years before Nixon touched down, and like

subsequent readers of Nixon in China, she

couldn’t get enough of Premier Chou En-lai’s

crafty humour and cleverness.

Even as she did the painstaking permis-

sions work for the book – cross-checking

quotes and determining which sources would

require credit – Pakistan-born International

Relations and Peace and Conflict Studies stu-

dent Sadia Rafiquddin (’08) was pleased to find

that her duties let her explore a more per-

sonal connection: the hidden role her native

country played as a go-between in the delicate lead-up to the

President’s trip. Having come to know the Provost first

through her published work (“I was in Grade 12 when Paris

1919 was released and read it through the week it came out”),

she was excited to join in the behind-the-scenes production

of history-writing and be an up-close witness to the Provost’s

creative reassessment of a complicated personality like Nixon:

“I now feel like I know him,” she observes – which is more

than any of us could have said back in 1972. – John Allemang

history,” MacMillan says witha professional’s wary respect.Often he’s seen as a strategicgenius (though, to her, Nixonwas in no way his inferior),and his power-enhancing pas-sion for secrecy reaches a con-trol-freak crescendo when heplots his first undercover forayinto China – except that anaide forgets to bring a changeof clothing and Kissinger hasto make do with a colleague’soversized, made-in-Taiwanshirts and resort to rubber bands to hold up thesleeves. Nixon in China is filled with such quiet com-edy. (Mao, for what it’s worth, didn’t much care forKissinger, who always sought an audience with theChinese leader when he was in Beijing.)

MacMillan’s fascination with China goes back to herstudent days. “I first tried to get into China when I wasa graduate student in India at the tail end of the Cul-tural Revolution. But the Sikh soldiers guarding theChinese embassy in Delhi said to me, ‘Please don’tmake trouble for us. If you go in there, madam, we willonly have to follow you, and it is far too hot to do that.”

Her next attempt, this time as a dignitary being wel-comed by the Chinese People’s Institute of ForeignAffairs in 2005, was more successful. Wanting to payhomage to Mao, who had died in 1976 (at just the timeshe started teaching Chinese history), she was surprisedto discover that his personality cult still seemed to cap-tivate the more globalized, post-Nixon generation ofChinese. The tomb was thronged, and faced with theprospect of standing in line for hours, she opted for thedignified foreigner’s prerogative of simply asking a guardto let her cut in – “which wasn’t very proletarian.” There

she saw the plastic flowers leftby Chinese admirers being cyn-ically collected and resold, andwas shocked as a historian, ifnot as a resident of the post-Nixon world, to see the imageof one of her world-changersbeing used to sell kitschy ciga-rette lighters and watches with aMao-waving second hand.

Having encountered, if onlypost-mortem, China’s GreatHelmsman, MacMillan wentto see America’s secret naviga-

tor, Henry Kissinger. Her friend and fellow historianConrad Black (who is working on his own biographyof Nixon) wrote a letter of introduction to his formercorporate board member, and she encounteredKissinger twice. “I chatted with him briefly at a cock-tail party, and then immediately ran off to write downwhat he said. The next time, I took notes at a lunch” –much like an attentive restaurant critic. “I think I couldhave sat down with him and talked more, but youreach the point where enough is enough.”

Enough is right. The phone is ringing, piles ofbooks still have to be read and judged, and the presentis overtaking the past. So I didn’t get around to askingher a question I’d been mulling over since reading herbook: out of all the subjects that must have crossed hermind after the success of Paris 1919, why Nixon?

I needn’t have worried. She brings it up herself at thebook launch. “I don’t know what made me want towrite about Nixon,” she admits. And then there’s along, thoughtful, and finally jovial, pause. “I don’t thinkit had anything to do with my job as Provost.”

itting in his office, surrounded by moun-tains of books and papers, Professor JohnKirton pauses to reflect on his childhoodgrowing up in St. Catharines, Ontario.

Like many baby boomers, Kirton was acutely awareof the importance of Canada’s relationship with theUnited States, and at the time, he and his friends con-sidered Buffalo the “great metropolis” across the river.In 1967, at age 19, Kirton spent a week watching theUN Security Council meeting on the Six Day War,in which Canada stood onside with America, and wasmesmerized by the machinations of internationaldiplomacy. Kirton was hooked. He decided to studypolitical science.

Almost 40 years later, Kirton, 58, is one of thecountry’s most respected experts on Canada’s placeon the international political scene. An associate pro-fessor of political science and a fellow of Trinity Col-lege, he joined the University of Toronto in 1977 andis the director of its G8 Research Group – a globalnetwork of scholars, professionals and students – atthe Munk Centre for International Studies.

Since 1988, Kirton and a delegation of his studentshave attended every G8 summit, making the G8 Groupa leading source for independent and innovativethought on the body. Each year at the G8 meeting, theGroup presents programs in the host country and, asthe G8 has no secretariat, keeps documentation ofscholarly writings, policy analyses and research studies.It has at its disposal the world’s largest collection of G8materials at Trinity’s John W. Graham Library.

When asked if his group has been accepted by theG8, Kirton points to a picture from this year’s summit,held in St. Petersburg. He is shaking hands with Russ-ian President Vladimir Putin. “The Russians asked usto advise on the preparation of a successful summit,”he says proudly. “It was an exciting undertaking.”

This fall, Kirton published his second book,

Canadian Foreign Policy in a Changing World. It is acomprehensive survey of Canadian policy from 1945through to Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s currentgovernment. In his first major book, Canada Is aPrincipal Power, co-authored with David Dewitt andpublished in 1983, Kirton argued that Canada wasnot, as often dubbed, a middle power, but was emerg-ing as a leading nation and significant force. In Cana-dian Foreign Policy in a Changing World, he maintainsthat this evolution is complete and that Canada hasemerged as a principal power. It is a theory that runsagainst the popular current belief that Canada’s cloutis in decline. “To almost everyone on the outside, weare recognized as a success story,” he says. “Some herelike to present us playing the middle power, but theevidence doesn’t support it.”

Kirton points to Canada’s position as an emergingenergy superpower (a view articulated by Prime Min-ister Harper) as proof of its muscle. Central to histhinking is a view of our neighbours to the south as“America the vulnerable” rather than “America the vic-torious.” Since 1945, he maintains, the United Stateshas been in a state of decline, punctuated by booms,recessions, scandal, in part because of a humiliatingdefeat in Vietnam and the possibility of a similar lossPH

rofessor Robert Bothwell thinks some ofhis students might be a bit scandalized bythe uncensored portrayals of nationalleaders in his new book, The Penguin His-

tory of Canada. “When you’re young, you think, ‘Well,this person was prime minister. He must have beenextraordinary.’ Then after you’ve met a couple ….”Bothwell’s hearty laugh fills in the blank. “In part it’sa factor of age. You stand less in awe of characters.”

He writes that a certain Father of Confederation“wrote too frequently of the religious and racial failingsof others,” for example, and calls a former Tory primeminister “a highly intelligent egotist.” These and manyother lively characterizations punctuate the nearly 600meticulously researched pages that make up Bothwell’snew telling of Canada’s story. He starts at the verybeginning, back when a sheet of ice covered most ofNorth America, and takes us all the way to the election

of Stephen Harper. It’s a daunting yet highly readabletome, thanks to Bothwell’s narrative flair, jargon-freeprose and irreverent style. “I tried not to be undulyslavish to the idea of a succession of Great Men, whilenot leaving out character and personality, which givehistory its colour and provide its interest.”

One of Canada’s pre-eminent historians, Bothwellhas long been on a mission to make Canadian historyinteresting to Canadians. His academic career spansnearly 40 years and includes more than a dozen otherbooks, all written with an educated reader in mind.But the sheer scope of this latest one made it a differ-ent kind of undertaking.

“There haven’t been that many full-scale, single-author histories of Canada in the past generation. It’salmost as if there’s so much material out there that peo-ple just despair at the idea,” he says. “My feeling wasthat it was a chance to do something that not many

in Iraq. The terrorist attacks of 9/11 were sig-nificant because they exposed America’s sus-ceptibility to attack. “It’s what Americansfear most,” he says, “and they’re right.”

Kirton’s insight into the United Statesstems from more than academic scrutiny.From 1972 until 1974, he did his doc-torate at Johns Hopkins University. Heremembers it as an exciting time for astudent of foreign policy to be at the centre of theWestern world’s pre-eminent force. “The prevalentbelief was that America was a superpower running anempire. But Washington didn’t feel like a superpower.There had been riots, and much of it was a bombed-out carcass,” he recalls. “If you are going to study theUnited States, it’s very important to live there and tryto get to know the real America. Many Canadians’ideas about the United States tend to be acquiredfrom within sight of the CN Tower.”

Kirton believes that in foreign policy, what mattersis not defence spending and diplomacy, but how effec-tively and successfully a country promotes its interestsand values. Using this measurement, Canada isexcelling. He says that the election of the Conserva-tive party provided a serendipitous test for his theory.“When Stephen Harper took over, most Canadians

thought that he had no foreignpolicy. There was every reason tobelieve he was fond of the UnitedStates and would simply follow theirlead, but that has not been the case.He rightly saw Canada as an emerg-ing energy superpower able to exerciseglobal leadership. Sometimes our lead-ers get it right.”

Kirton considers Canada’s militaryinvolvement in Afghanistan a significant test of thecountry’s resolve. Since 1914, he notes, Canada hasbeen on the winning side of almost every conflict ithas entered. A major setback and humiliation inAfghanistan could mean a severe blow to Canadianforeign-policy initiatives. To those who still maintainthat Canada is a fringe player, Kirton says the evidenceto the contrary is all around. “In 2005 at the UN,Canada pioneered the international responsibility toprotect civilians and overturn the right of dictators toengage in domestic genocide. It was an uphill strug-gle, and Paul Martin had to pull in all his favours, buteventually everyone, including the Americans,accepted it, and it passed. It wasn’t the first timeCanada has had the United States follow itslead…We’re more than a one-trick pony.”

other people have done.” In addition to theintellectual challenge, the project appealedto him on a personal level because the lateKenneth McNaught, a former Trinity pro-fessor who was his teacher and mentor,wrote the first edition of The Penguin His-tory of Canada (originally titled The Pel-ican History of Canada) in 1969.

The whole process of researchingand writing took about five years, withthe bulk of the work completed duringBothwell’s 2004-05 sabbatical. His most vivid mem-ory is of rising early on cold winter mornings to writeby the heat of a wood stove in his country farmhousein Port Hope, Ont. – which he admits is a ratherappropriate setting for documenting the history of theGreat White North. It also helped combat the seden-tary nature of writing, he says, since being in the coun-try necessitated tromping out to the woodshed fre-quently to replenish the fire.

Since his primary expertise is in modern diplo-matic and political history, particularly post-1945,going back several hundred years was a formidabletask. “I had to learn a lot about this part of Canadianhistory. I knew something of it, but it was mostlywhat I learned as an undergraduate.” He found him-self particularly intrigued by the 17th and 18th cen-turies. “I was just delighted at what had been writtenin this area, not just about the battles between theBritish and French, but about the relationship to thenative peoples in the Maritimes and Great Lakesregion.” His newfound fascination with these histor-ical eras proved something he had been telling his stu-dents for years: “No period of history is in itself dull.”

As the director of Trinity’s International RelationsProgram, one of the oldest and largest undergraduateprograms of its kind in the country, Bothwell has spenta good part of his career helping students understandCanada’s place in the larger world. In writing this book,he naturally gravitated toward viewing Canada’s devel-opment from the outside in. “I didn’t really set out todo that. It’s just what happened,” he says. “It doesn'tencourage a sense of Canadian uniqueness. What ittends to do is tell you that Canada is linked to intel-lectual and political trends abroad.”

We are most closely linked, ofcourse, to our neighbour to thesouth. Bothwell is widely recog-nized for his scholarship onCanada-U.S. relations, and this isone of the central currents in ThePenguin History of Canada. From thetime the Dominion of Canada wasestablished in 1867, he says, Canadi-ans have been measuring themselvesagainst Americans. Some of Canada’sfounders were frustrated that the coun-try couldn’t attract enough bodies to fill

up its vast geography, while the U.S. seemed to attractimmigrants effortlessly. In fact, about two million Cana-dians left for the U.S. between Confederation and 1896.“When Canada was judged inferior, it was always withreference to the United States, the giant next door,”writes Bothwell. “Canadians admired, envied, andresented their neighbour.”

And when it comes to the business of writing his-tory, there is one thing that Bothwell himself admiresvery much about his American colleagues: they aregood at making their nation’s history not only intel-ligible, but interesting, to the average reader. “Anynumber of American history books have come outthat are aimed at the general public, and the generalpublic buys them. There isn’t the kind of absolute dis-connect that there seems to be in Canada betweenprofessors and the reading public.”

Rather than just envy the wide audience for Amer-ican history, however, Bothwell strives to write Cana-dian history books with broad appeal, and he encour-ages his peers to do the same. In addition to publishinghis upcoming book, Alliance and Illusion, which cov-ers Canadian foreign relations between 1945 and 1984and is due out this spring, Bothwell is collaboratingwith Trinity Provost Margaret MacMillan on anotherproject with Penguin called Turning Points. It will be aseries of books on pivotal events in Canadian history,written by promising young scholars in an engagingand accessible style. “It’s carrying on the same fight –bringing Canadian history back to the general public,”he says. “Frankly, if we historians can’t do that, then Idon’t see what our purpose on earth is.” �

ilary Nicholls (’59) describes herself onthe telephone to a stranger she’s aboutto meet by saying cheerfully: “I’mplumpish and short-sighted and …

well, if you know Beatrix Potter, I think I look a bitlike Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle … minus the prickles ofcourse.” And I have to agree, when we meet the nextday in the Buttery, that there is something of Mrs.Tiggy-Winkle – the hedgehog laundrywoman in Pot-ter’s children’s books – in her intense light hazel eyesand chatty, jolly, self-deprecating manner.

But don’t be misled by the manner. In her moreserious moments, Nicholls, who was a librarian at theUniversity of Toronto after her marriage in 1959, isa stalwart supporter of libraries and firmly believes intheir role as “bastions of democracy.” And to put hermoney where her mouth is, Nicholls recently made a$1-million donation to help endow the librarianshipat Trinity. “Over the years, Hilary’s commitment –moral and financial – has taken us from a struggling,minimalist library,” says Linda Corman, librarian atTrinity’s John W. Graham Library, “to one wheredevelopment and innovation are possible and Trinitycan be proud of what its library offers to the collegeand university communities.”

Corman, who has been Trinity’s librarian since1980, is particularly appreciative because, she says,“to get support directly for staff is really tough.” Shethinks it’s often easier to find funding for buildings

and books, maybe because they’re so, well, concrete.Nicholls’ donation goes to defray costs that are “cen-tral to our mission,” says Corman.

The mission, as Corman sees it, is to reflect theCollege’s particular academic focus and history ratherthan trying to cover all the bases, bibliographicallyspeaking. And so the library’s holdings and activitiesare particularly strong in international relations,ethics, philosophy, English literature, classics, andtheology, especially in the Anglican tradition.

The collection of the G8 Research Group – aglobal network of scholars, media, business, govern-ment and research types who aim to be the world’sleading independent source of G8 information – isjust one example of a key element in the library’sholdings. (Professor John Kirton, a Trinity fellow, isthe founder and director of the G8 Research Groupand author of many key publications on the subject;see page 16.)

The library’s holdings in the field of ethics are alsomajor, fuelled by Trinity’s Ethics, Society, and Lawprogram and by the presence of U of T’s Centre forEthics, a new multidisciplinary initiative that justopened this fall in Trinity’s Larkin Building (see page40). The library’s Churchill collection is also animportant one, much appreciated by scholars such asRonald I. Cohen, who recently published Sir Win-ston Churchill: A Bibliography of His PublishedWorks. Along with these vital areas, the library also

Like Beatrix Potter’s Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle, Hilary Nicholls

finds nothing too much trouble if it helps out. All the better

if the cause is Trinity’s library BY SUSAN LAWRENCE

maintains small sub-specialties that have developed over the years,such as the history of landscape gardening and the works of Trin-ity authors – Archibald Lampman, Henry Youle Hind, DorothyLivesay and Austin Clarke, to name a few.

It’s also part of the library’s mission, of course, to serve thestudents who use it. There are seven on the full-time staff(including Corman), who are helped by one half-time staff mem-ber and about 25 paid student assistants during term. On mostdays, the heavy doors open at 8:30 in the morning and aren’tlocked until midnight. Among the programs offered to studentsare bibliographic seminars, which teach students how to find andevaluate information needed for their research. The library alsooffers tours and seminars that introduce students to the rarebooks in its collection.

Nicholls’ donation affirms the importance of all the library’s pro-grams and activities and the role of its trained staff, who are, if any-thing, more important since the advent of the Internet. It also freesup funding so that, as Corman points out, “we have more moneyto spend on acquisitions, including access to electronic resources.”About Nicholls’ generous donation, Corman says gratefully, “It’sthe special kind of gift that true friends give.”

Nicholls, who has been an active member of the Friends of theLibrary for at least 25 years, is clearly shy about the prospect ofbeing in the limelight because of her generosity. In fact, she con-fessed that she had half hoped her donation could be anonymous– or even posthumous. Nonetheless, she agreed to the public recog-

nition for one practical reason: she hopes it might encourage poten-tial donors to think of Trinity. “I think it’s important to be one ofthe team,” she says.

As if to emphasize her point, while we’re enjoying a coffee in theButtery, she proudly pulls out and dons the red apron that’s standardattire for the Friends of the Library. As a member of the publicity com-mittee for Trinity’s annual October book sale, Nicholls recently putthe red apron on over her coat and spent most of a very rainy, coolSunday handing out flyers at the Word on the Street festival in Queen’sPark to publicize the forthcoming sale. She doesn’t mind meeting alot of strangers and isn’t averse to “perhaps making a bit of a fool ofmyself,” she says, showing how she waved her hand to attract atten-tion when giving out flyers. The cold she’s been battling for severaldays wasn’t helped by her hours in the rain, or by this interview, butNicholls is the sort who wouldn’t think of cancelling an interview fora cold: “You can count on me,” she promised gamely beforehand.

Although she doesn’t like to talk about it, she and her late hus-band, David (’58), were clearly both fortunate to have financiallysecure childhoods. (Both her father and David’s worked in the rub-ber business.) But she doesn’t want anyone to think she’s the kindwho “sweeps around in a big car with a lapdog, like Mrs. Pumphreyin James Herriot’s books – I’m not that kind of person,” she says.

She and David met in their teens and were married quietly inTrinity Chapel in June of her graduation year. Two years later, in1961, she earned a Bachelor of Library Science from the Univer-sity of Toronto. The couple didn’t have children of their own,

although Hilary is the proud godmother of 10. They travelled fre-quently, their trips often planned around David’s lifelong avoca-tion of photography.

On their trips they would sometimes get up long before sunriseto get good photographs – of the sunrise in Bryce Canyon, forexample, or moose in Algonquin Park. Nicholls just recentlyreturned from a trip to Algonquin Park, which she still likes to visiteven though she’s had a knee replacement. Many of her husband’sphotos are in a collection at Trinity, but perhaps because David wasalways behind the camera, there are sadly no photos of the two ofthem together. David died in 1995.

Over the years, the Nicholls were very generous to Trinity. Theirsolid contributions to funding the Graham Library were acknowl-edged in 2000, when a third-floor reading room was named afterthem. In 2001, Hilary created and endowed the annual FredericAlden Warren Lecture at the library, named after her father. (WriterRoch Carrier, formerly Canada’s National Librarian, gave the inau-gural lecture.) In 2003, Nicholls gave a large donation on her owninitiative to fund the purchase of a limited-edition facsimile of the

eighth-century Lindisfarne Gospels. An amazingly beautiful high-quality edition with illuminated images in 45 different colours thatresemble miniature Persian carpets, the facsimile sits in a climate-controlled display in the library’s basement rare-books room.

Recently, Nicholls realized she could play a substantial role ingiving to Trinity because she doesn’t have children or grandchildrento consider. So she went to the powers-that-be and said, “What canI do for the library?”

Her fondest hope is that telling about her donation will makesomeone else think, “If that little twerp can do that, perhaps we cando this.” Little twerp, indeed. �

ince the mid-1990s, the idea of an ethicscentre had been floating around the Uni-versity of Toronto, but it took a combi-nation of the right plan and the right per-

son to give it substance. Two events coincided: first, theuniversity, as part of its Stepping Up academic plan-ning process, was looking for ways to encourageinterdisciplinary study; secondly, Professor MelissaWilliams, who had joined U of T’s department ofpolitical science in 1992 and was convinced of the needto establish an ethics centre at U of T, gathered togethera group of colleagues to work on a proposal.

Finally, in September,Williams’ concept for acentre that would draw to-gether ethics research froma broad spectrum of disci-plines became groundedwhen the University ofToronto Centre for Ethicsopened on the second floorof Trinity’s Larkin Building.

Now the director ofthe new centre, Williamsproudly swings open theglass doors to the bright,renovated offices and ser-enely modern seminar andreception space that willbring together scholars, stu-dents, public servants andsocietal leaders to debatethe issues that bedevil mod-ern society. She pauses to

draw her finger along the exquisite Centre for Ethics logoon the wall above the front desk; clearly, she admires thebeauty behind the design of the centre.

The appreciation of beauty is just one facet of the corequestion of ethics, which, Williams explains, is: “Howought we to live?” She talks about the centre’s genesis asshe leads the way to the coffee room, where the aromaof free-trade coffee mingles with the smell of fresh paint.

Several university partners, she says, were behind theproposal for the centre, formally established in thespring of 2005: Trinity College; the Munk Centre forInternational Studies; the Faculty of Law; Rotman

School of Management;Joint Centre for Bioethics,the Faculty of Arts and Sci-ence and its departments ofPhilosophy, Political Science,and the Study of Religion;the Institute for Women andGender Studies; the Schoolof Public Policy and Gover-nance; and the Ontario In-stitute for Studies in Educa-tion/UT. “Trinity’s offer ofspace was a crucial elementin the success of the pro-posal,” says Williams, whothis past summer sportedconstruction boots and ahard hat to oversee the con-struction of the new space.

the Faculty of Arts and Science covered the cost of converting thesouth side of the second floor of the Larkin Building to create thenew centre, reports Derek Allen, Trinity’s dean of arts and a drivingforce behind establishing the centre at the College. The funding willalso cover the centre’s operating costs until 2010.

“The Centre for Ethics is a natural fit at Trinity, given the Col-lege’s long-standing interest in ethics,” says Allen. Williams pointsto another reason why Trinity is the ideal location: “It’s neutral ter-ritory,” she says. “If the centre were nestled in the political sciencedepartment, for example, people might perceive a political bias.”

The intellectual mission of the centre rests on three pillars: � Foundations of Ethics: the history of ethics and core concepts

of the philosophical study of ethics (“Philosophy is still thequeen discipline of ethics,” says Williams);

� Ethics in Action: practical applications in the key areas ofbioethics, business, and the public sphere;

� Ethics in Translation: the exploration of the ethics of multi-cultural societies across religious and cultural boundaries, andthe ethics of international society.

One of the key activities of the centre will be to provide a physi-cal and intellectual home for visiting faculty fellows, drawn from aninternational and interdisciplinary pool, who will spend a year in res-idence advancing their research. For the 2006-07 term, Alon Harel,from the Faculty of Law at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, willoccupy an office, while Sarah Clark Miller, from the department ofphilosophy at the University of Memphis, will be down the hall prob-ing questions of international humanitarianism. In addition to theirresearch studies, the faculty fellows will participate in seminars and

public lectures, as well as nudge undergrads to greater heights.“One of the functions of the centre will be to enrich Trinity’s

program in Ethics, Society and Law,” Allen says. “Starting in Jan-uary, a visiting faculty fellow of the centre will be teaching a sec-tion of the program’s senior seminar course.”

What’s more, Trinity’s other interdisciplinary programs (Interna-tional Relations and Immunology), not to mention its Faculty ofDivinity, will also benefit from having the centre in its midst, Allenadds. “It has the potential to be an integrative force in Trinity’s aca-demic and community life,” he says. “Its lectures, seminars and con-ferences will be of interest to faculty and students across the College’smain programs, as well as to many of our alumni.” The centre willalso enhance Trinity One, the College’s seminar-style program forfirst-year students, with streams in international relations and ethics.

The centre’s other activities include a doctoral fellowships pro-gram, a seminar series, an annual public lecture, and community out-reach. “Our community research partnerships program is part ofwhat sets us apart from other ethics centres,” Williams says. Throughthe centre, fourth-year students in Trinity’s Ethics, Society and Lawprogram will conduct research projects in conjunction with the pub-lic sector and community organizations. “The students’ research willprovide the organizations with a deeper insight into the issues theyface, and possibly a set of arguments that they can use to inform pol-icy or in their advocacy and outreach work,” she says.

As the boxes of books are being unpacked, the centre’s potentialto do good in the world starts to unfold. It’s no accident that thedoors into the Centre of Ethics are clear glass. Its vision is firmlyfocused outward. �

Seagram thought it was odd. He hadjust been showing his friend, formerMaple Leaf great Ron Ellis, the pic-

ture of the 1956 Trinity A championship hockey team. Thenext time Seagram looked for the photo, it was gone. Withina few weeks, the cherished photo of his college team reap-peared in the most improbable of places – personally addedto The Hockey Hall of Fame’s Hometown Hockey Galleryby Ellis, the public affairs director of the hall.

Securing a place of honour alongside hockey’s great-est heroes is surely a first for a Trinity intramural squad,but it doesn’t quite tell the story of the glorious under-dogs and their “extraordinary spring of ’56,” as the team’s

coach and manager, Charles Wall ’57, described it.The team, with a few ghosts among them now, reunited

this past spring at the Provost’s Lodge to relive that story.They had a most unexpected audience. Provost MargaretMacMillan had also invited the 2006 Trinity team, the onlyclub from the College to capture the men’s Division Ahockey championship since that “extraordinary spring” –and the two teams celebrated their triumphs together, 50years after the ’56 win.

The ’56 men, winding up impressive careers, wore jack-ets and ties, of course. Some of the ’06 men, just beginningto contemplate directions their lives might take, also worejackets and ties, surprisingly. “They were very respectful of

JOHN

T 1 11/15/06 6:04 PM

their elders,” laughs Chris Johnston ’58, the captain of the ’56 team. Still, the ’56ers weren’t conceding anything to youth. “They

wanted to face us in a match,” says Matt Amaral, the rookie scor-ing phenomenon of the ’06 team. Luckily, Provost MacMillan ’66,herself a stalwart on defence during her playing days with the St.Hilda’s team and for a year on the Varsity squad, had them trad-ing stories instead.

But if time could only erase the passage of 50 years, we can atleast imagine what a match that would be – one between twodeeply talented and eerily similar teams, both of them strong ingoal-tending, with virtually everyone scoring throughout the year,and scoring heroics in the final games.

The eras, however, were a little different. For the ’56ers, the Korean War and the McCarthy hearings were

dark shadows in the background, but the economy was booming,and players looked forward to graduating to a slew of job offers.Though both the university and the intramural program were muchsmaller, students took sports seriously – 20,000 or more filled Var-sity Stadium for Blues football games, and hundreds flocked to Var-sity Arena for intramural hockey games. “It was a pretty happytime,” says Bill Saunderson ’56, who organized his team’s reunion.“As they say, it was a time when the air was clean, and sex was dirty.”

The ’56 team was loaded with nicknames – Michael “de Poo”de Pencier, founding publisher of Toronto Life magazine and KeyPublishing; John “Baggy” Seagram, a lawyer; and Bill “Max” Saun-derson, a former cabinet minister in the Ontario government. Ingoal was future lawyer John “Mighty Mite” or “Goodie” Goodwin,a standout who, according to Wall, might have made Varsity hadhe cared to try out.

The team was small, but fast, skilled, and bonded – many hadplayed together on private-school teams. But that didn’t stop themfrom racking up a losing record in first term. To overcome that“extremely dismal beginning,” they had to win seven straight toreach the finals.

That tremendous season was chronicled in The Varsity by thelate John Brooks, a winger for the ’56ers who went on to a careerin journalism, then later became communications director at TheToronto Star. About the semi-finals, Brooks wrote that Trinity anni-hilated the heavily favoured St. Michael’s College 4-1 in a matchwhere “body checks were meted out with reckless and gay aban-don,” and “Saunderson, the dirty old man of hockey, knockeddown everybody but the Pope.”

The Trinity Black Panthers then faced Jr. Engineers in a best-of-three playoff final. As Saunderson recalls, “I was determined to stayout of the penalty box, and I did.” He set up his brother, Pete Saun-derson, for a goal, and Trinity won the first game decisively – 6-3– setting the stage for an extraordinary night at Varsity Arena.

Team coach Charles Wall, later an English professor at the Uni-versity of Toronto, remembers that game practically shutting downTrinity College, which had not brought home the championshipsince 1940 (there were other wins in 1932 and 1939). After all, thecollege was small in more ways than one – “nearly every engineerwas bigger than even our largest player, Saunderson,” notes Wall,who wound up coach by default.

Swept up in the heroic exploits of the team, Provost Reginald See-ley showed up to cheer, as did virtually the entire faculty, caretakingstaff and enough students to fill the east side of the arena. Amidst themwas the most unlikely of fans, Mossie May Kirkwood, the very properformer dean of women at St. Hilda’s, who had just retired in 1953.

The Trinity side was anything but a decorous crowd, smuggling insnow and firing off snowballs at the lights, time clock and even thetimekeeper. They desperately wanted the game to end, for Trinity led

Fifty years ago, my friends, When we were in our springtime years,

Pursuing dates and carefree ends,One feat gained us acclaim and cheers.

It stunned our peers and burned the earsOf those who scoffed at Trinity types,

Who tended to resort to sneersAt those pretentious gowns and pipes….

And so our rivals weren’t prepared;They thought us precious and effete,With artiness too much impaired,

To harbour any real athlete.…

We beat St. Mike’s to great ovations,Though they were tough and hard as rocks;

They had priests and incantations,But we had prayer books in our socks.

And finally, the Engineers,Spurred on by their Godiva band,Our victory had their fans in tears,As we dismissed them out of hand.

Tonight we gladly reminisce,About those battles long ago,The sheer, exhilarating bliss

Of putting on a winning show.

And though we have our senior moments,Forgetting much that may come up,

One memory stands with shining presence,The day we won the Jennings Cup.

So here’s to us and all our mates,Who cannot join this celebration;A toast to those triumphant skates,

And to the joy of this occasion.— Chris Johnston ’58

Delivered April 5, 2006 at the 50th anniversary of the 1956 Trinity Jennings Cup team


16620 Trinity 1 11/17/06 10:25 AM

2-1 from the second period on a first goal by Bill Lovering, then atremendous short-handed goal by the late Dave Osler. As Wall recalls:“Dave got a breakaway from Trinity’s blue line, circled around the[engineers’] net and popped the puck into the top corner.”

The engineers pressed back – Goodwin remembers having “a verybusy day” in goal. But Osler’s marker stood up to the end of thegame. The Trinity fans exploded as the team accepted the JenningsCup, then swept them back to a celebratory party at the Buttery.

The next day, Dean Kirkwood gave “Mr. Lovering” a note say-ing, “I was exalted by the play.”

Flash forward to the ’06 team and a different era. In a media-influenced society, this team’s wars – Iraq, Afghanistan – perhapscast a longer shadow on day-to-day life. And mindful of fiercercompetition for jobs, this Trinity team opted to play in the non-contact Division One league. But the intramural sports programat U of T remains as strong as ever and, indeed, is much larger, witheight teams in Division One alone and five divisions overall.

On the ice, the ’06 squad had decidedly fewer nicknames, buta much better record. With their year divided into two seasons, theywon the fall championship and went undefeated through the win-ter schedule to reach the spring championship against Scarborough.That was much the same David and Goliath match as the ‘56effort, with Trinity (student population 1,700) facing off againstScarborough (student population 9,000). “They had team jacketsand a bus and a coaching staff,” says Trin centre Jeff Claydon.“Yeah, they were pretty serious,” says goalie Kyle Zoon. “They werealmost like a Varsity team the way they prepared.”

But the game, like the memorable night of ’56, was a nail-biter,ending in a 2-2 tie to set up a shootout. And like the ’56 team, the’06 Trin squad had a star goalie: Zoon. He stoned all five Scarbor-ough shooters in the shootout. Amaral, after netting two in the game,emerged as the lone goal scorer in the shootout to ice the win 3-2.

His team exploded from the bench, as player-rep Mike Lee says,to “tackle everyone on the team” and collect the Jennings Cup. Butas the ’06ers told the ’56ers, their triumph was a lonelier affair.There were at most a few dozen Trinity fans in the stands, and afterthe game the players went home. “It was a school night,” saysZoon. “Some guys had tests the next day and had to study.”

But there’s no doubt that the younger men were inspired by thegathering of the ’56 team. They hope to get new sweaters for the’07 season and host a reunion of their own one day. “It was aunique experience to see these guys come together after 50 years,”says the ’06’s Jeff Claydon, “and it was like they hadn’t missed abeat. The bonds they forged as a team were still there.

“I hope we can get together in 50 years to talk about our win.” ■

A reflection of a much simpler ethos, this celebratorypaean was penned by John Brooks and

sung with delight by the 1956 team at their Marchvictory party that year

From the halls of Trinity CollegeTo the glorious hockey rink,

We will fight our College battlesAnd we promise not to sink;

For we fight for Trinity’s honour,Not for glory’s selfish theme,

And we’re proud to wear the coloursOf the Trinity hockey team.

When we started hockey, boys,We never thought that we,

Interfaculty champions we very soon would be,

Now we’ve licked the EngineersAnd trounced old SMC

Hurrah for dear old Trinity.

Hurrah, hurrah, we’re champions again,Hurrah, hurrah, bring on some better men,

Now we’ve got the Jennings Cup, we’ve got it once again,Hurrah for dear old Trinity.

Randy Boyagoda,writer, professor

and Trinity alumnus (’99) drew inspi-

ration for his first novel,Governor of

the Northern Province, from a most

unusual muse.“I read an article in The

Economist about a disco-dancing war-

lord. I was compelled by this man.His

combination of talents struck me as

funny and disconcerting.” Finding that

he was unable to dismiss, outright, the

idea of a hustlin’ warlord from Sierra

Leone,Boyagoda wrote a short story

for The Walrus’s March 2006 issue that

placed a similar character in contem-

porary Canadian culture.

His piece sparked instant buzz,

both for its quirky subject matter and

for Boyagoda’s refreshing ability to

approach serious political and philo-

sophical themes, such as how the

virtue of multiculturalism can

become a vice, in an engaging, satirical

manner.Boyagoda was approached

and asked to adapt his magazine arti-

cle into a novel. And fast.

“My publisher wanted it for their

fall 2006 catalogue. I wrote Governor

in four months. Meanwhile, my wife

was pregnant. I was teaching at

Notre Dame and looking for a job,”

Boyagoda recalls.“It was a busy cou-

ple of months.”

“Busy” has remained a constant

for Boyagoda.His wife delivered their

first child on the day his manuscript

was due, and they relocated from

Indiana to Toronto in August,where

Boyagoda assumed his duties as a

professor in the department of Eng-

lish at Ryerson University.

Governor, which was released in

September and almost immediately

made the long list of nominations for

the prestigious Giller Prize, has been

receiving due praise from critics and

readers alike, who find his take on

contemporary Canadian fiction

delightfully untraditional. Governor

was ultimately eliminated as a Giller

contender when the list of finalists

was released in early October, but

the nod brought with it a great deal

of attention.

“The reaction to the book has

been surprise and, I think, relief,” says

Boyagoda.“I just found that Canadian

fiction as a genre was overwashed by

solemnity.Reading it is a depressing

experience.” He finds this to be espe-

cially the case in the writing about

immigrants.“It’s pathetic.We see

immigrants and their Canadian expe-

rience only in terms of subtle dehu-

manization,” he says.“I thought that

satire would be a sharp way of calling

these presumptions into question.”

Boyagoda grew up in Oshawa,

Ont. and at an early age developed an

interest in literature,which became

fully realized when he studied English

at Trinity.“I took an independent study

course on William Faulkner taught by

Tom Adamowski – whom I still speak

with – and it was my first sustained

engagement with a particular writer. It

challenged me,” he reflects.Though

Boyagoda spent most of his time in

the classroom,he was a member of

The Lit throughout his undergraduate

career.“I was Speaker in my third year.

My primary responsibility was to

sustain the audience’s attention until

the beer break,” he jokes.

Boyagoda honed his tendency to

question the reigning orthodoxies in

Canada with the company he kept at

Trinity.“The level of conversation,the

intensity… when you have the right

type of intellectual friends, they won’t

let you get away with anything.”

With his insatiable curiosity,

both in the classroom and in

broader discourse,Boyagoda

excelled in the years following grad-

uation.He completed an MA and a

PhD at Boston University – writing

his dissertation on race, immigration

and American identity in the works

of Faulkner, Salman Rushdie and

Ralph Ellison – before completing a

year-long postdoctoral fellowship at

the University of Notre Dame.

While immersed in academic stud-

ies,Boyagoda wrote for various pub-

lications, including The Globe and

Mail, The New York Times opinion

page and The Walrus,where he is

currently a contributing editor.

“I’ve been able to explore ideas

in a variety of contexts, and that

allows me to keep things lively.Being

an academic gives my writing a valu-

able perspective for literary criticism

and fiction,” he says of his combined

professional interests.Boyagoda

applied for his current post at Ryer-

son last winter.The university

appealed for reasons beyond prox-

imity to family.“Ryerson is an inter-

esting place these days,” he notes.

“I’m excited to be there because

they recognize my multiple interests

and see them as an asset rather than

an embarrassment.”

In between lectures on literary

journalism, Boyagoda is getting

started on his second novel,

which follows an ambitious young

newspaper reporter with impec-

cable liberal credentials who is

invited to write the biography

of an arch-conservative media

baron. Of his motivation to write

a story about a “deal with the

devil,” as Boyagoda describes it,

he says: “It’s easy to humanize

a poor, suffering immigrant, but

it takes real imagination to

humanize a successful, waspy

businessman.” — Liz Allemang

For centuries, North American aboriginals placed wooden

totem poles in front of their lodgings to welcome visitors

and let passersby know who dwelled within. These four gentlemen, standing sentinel in the

College’s main foyer, act as Trinity’s totems. Here, carved in limestone quarried in Kingston,

Ontario, are the oh-so-analytical lawyer; the theologian with his biblical scrolls; the philoso-

pher, holding the keys of knowledge; and the poet, his head wreathed with laurels. But unlike

the totems adorning the exteriors of Indian longhouses, these four academic disciples do

more than just introduce. To many who gaze upward, these caricatures foreshadow the future,

showing young Trinitarians who they may become. – F. Michah Rynor
