In celebrating George Luckyj, all the contributors to this volume honour a man who, after retirement, is continuing both a productive career devoted to the study of Ukrainian and Russian literatures and an even more active life dedicated to preserving and disseminating among Ukrainians, particularly vulnerable and susceptible to the loss oftheir heritage, knowledge of the life, histoiy, and culture of their people. George Luckyfs life, much to his surprise and, perhaps, annoyance, has been full and exciting. He was born in Ukraine in 1919, and his parents contributed greatly to his development by providing unfailing and unfading models of integrity, disciplined labour, cultured sensitivity, and commitment. His education began at home and continued both in the excellent local gymnasium with its formal classical curriculum and outside school where George received a quick and rough introduction to nationalistic issues and problems that have intrigued and plagued him to this day. He began university in Germany but, because of the threat of World War II, soon transferred to England, where he received both a B.A. ( withfirst class honours) and anM.A. in English literature at the University ofBirmingham. He then joined the British army and served four years in Germany and in England, where, as an interpreter, he witnessed the negotiations between the British and the Russians that resulted in the shamefulforced repatriation offormer Soviet citizens who had fled their homelands together with the return of those taken unwillingly from their countries as prisoners of war or slave labourers. But exuberance and vitality are the experience ofyouth even in wartime, and in 1944 Moira student George married McShane , afellow at Birmingham whom he had met in Helen Gardner’ s seminar. Their marriage turned out to be a happy, long,fruitful union, and in Moira Georgefound not only a loving companion but also an intelligent editor, a diligent proofreader, and, on many projects, a reliable and able collaborator. In 1947 he and Moira, together with infant twin daughters-a third daughter was born later in Toronto-emigrated to Canada, where George began his teaching career in the English Department at the University ofSaskatchewan at Saskatoon. Two years later he left Saskatchewan and English to enroll in Columbia University in New York C ity, where he was admitted both to the doctoral programme ofthe Department ofSlavic Languages and Literatures and to the diploma programme at the Russian Institute. But graduate study could not absorb all his prodigious energy, some ofwhich was devoted to the launching of the Ukrainian Academy ofArts and Sciences in the U.S. and of the Annals of the Academy <7 journal which he created, editedfor itsfirstfew years, and proudly followed for the more than thirty years it flourished. Upon completion of all vii academic requirements, including the writing of a doctoral dissertation for the doyen ofAmerican Slavists, Ernest J. Simmons, George returned to Canada in 1952 to take up a position as Lecturer at the University of Toronto. Atfirst George taught in what was called the Department ofSlavic Studies, though veryfew ofthe courses offered were not in Russian. But soon after he became Chairman in 1954, an office he retained until 1960, he lobbied effectively among the administrators of the University to create a Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures, and he built support for his Department’ s widening activities among provincial and federal politicians and other community leaders. Under George’s leadership, offerings in Ukrainian dramatically increased, courses in Polish language and literature were introduced, and thefoundation for a programme in Serbo-Croatian was laid. Along with those who succeeded him as Chairman he worked to initiate a programme in Czech and Slovak studies. Besides attending to the growth of his own department, George joined colleagues in the social sciences to create at the University of Toronto the Centre for Russian and East European Studies, where for the first time in Canada scholars and studentsfrom many disciplines couldpool their talents to study the Slavic world, its past as well as present, its peoples and institutions, its borrowings from and its impact on the West. During the same period George also fostered the growth and the development of Slavic scholarship throughout Canada. In the mid-fifties he helped found the Canadian Association of Slavists and became the first editor q/" Canadian Slavonic Papers, /w years the only professional Canadian journal dedicated to the study of all facets of Slavic life, history, and culture. His basic commitment was and still is, of course, to Ukrainian studies. Though he did not initiate such studies in Canada, no one has done more,first, to build a strongfoundation for them and, later, tofacilitate their expansion; the quality and influence of his teaching, his public lectures, and his publications established the respectability and legitimacy of Ukrainian Studies. It was not suprising therefore that George eventually was one of a handful of Canadian scholars to found the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies, which he served as Associate Director, seeing its first major publications on
