Booster Shot TRINITY COLLEGE, ALONG WITH its sister federated universities (Victoria and St. Michael’s), has successfully negotiated a new agreement with the University of Toronto, which will help to preserve their acad- emic autonomy and offer an improved funding formula. Replacing the Memorandum of Agreement, which took effect in 1974 and was last renewed in 1998, is a new agreement that outlines in detail the relationship with U of T and recognizes the special role of the three feder- ated institutions. “Symbolically, it was important since it recognized each university as its own negotiating partner with the University of Toronto,” says Prof. Derek Allen, one of Trinity’s key negotiators in the new agreement. “[The agree- File It Away ment] recognizes the diversity he College has a new archivist.

TRINITY COLLEGE’S International Relations program has travelled far and wide since it was established in 1976 under former Canadian ambas- sador and then-provost, George Ignatieff. In the past decade in particular, the program has benefited greatly from the generosity of Peter Munk, who is profiled on page 13, and his wife, Melanie. Not only are they funding the Margaret MacMillan Trinity One program, but in 1997 they also gave the IR program its current home in the Munk Centre for International Studies. One of the most prestigious of its kind in Canada, Trinity’s IR program attracts bright and promising students and produces outstanding graduates; in the following pages, we tell some of their stories.

HAMILTON SOUTHAM ’39 Diplomat, journalist and tireless champion of the arts Gordon Hamilton Southam died July 1 in Ottawa, age 91. A third-generation member of the Southam newspaper dynasty, he graduated from Trinity College in 1939 with a degree in history. Southam’s plan to follow this with a master’s degree in modern history at Oxford was derailed by the Second World War; after serving for six years in the British and Canadian armies, he worked briefly as a writer at the Times of London and the Ottawa Citizen before joining the Department of External Affairs in 1948. He was posted to Stockholm and then to Warsaw, where in April 1960 he was promoted to ambassador. In 1962, back in Ottawa, Southam was approached to help spearhead a citizens’ move to build a performing arts centre in the country’s capital. He persuaded his former boss and then-prime minister, Lester Pearson, that the proposed National Arts Centre (NAC) was an ideal centennial project for the federal government. Appointed as its co-ordinator in 1964, he ulti- mately served two terms as the NAC’s director-general. Other projects to which he committed his influence and energy includ- ed the Canadian War Museum and the Valiants Memorial, the latter commemorating, in his words, “the men and women who have made this country.” Hamilton Southam’s devotion to the arts encompassed opera, ballet, theatre, visual art and poetry — and a home library where he loved “con- templating three generations of reading.” Married three times, Hamilton Southam is survived by his second wife, Gro Mortenson, and six children, four of whom are Trinity grads: Peter ’67, Michael ’79, Henrietta ’93 and Gordon Hamilton ’95.

FALL 2008 47 For Whom TRINITY Past the Bell Tolls

On certain days and nights it tolls for Trinity College. Completed in 1924, Soldiers’ Tower, just south of the College, honours 1,185 members of the University of Toronto who were killed during the two world wars, more than 100 of whom were members of the Trinity commu- nity. That tragic number has been augmented by the students, alumni, faculty and staff who have died during any of Canada’s military con- flicts between 1850, when the university was founded, and today. Majestic and sombre, Soldiers’ Tower is one of the tallest Canadian war memorials. Jutting 143 feet (43.6 metres) into the sky, this Geor- gian sandstone turret is crowned by Canada’s only university carillon. When a call went out in 1919 to individuals and organizations to donate bells, graduates and friends of the Col- lege responded enthusiastically, contributing bell XIX, a four-ton bronze import from Eng- land, which was installed in 1927. They chose the motto emblazoned on Trinity’s coat of arms — Met’ Agona Stephanos (After the Struggle, the Crown) — to accompany the bell, an inscription that was engraved into a stone wall of the tower’s memorial room. While the tower is one of the College’s loudest neighbours, few grads realize there’s a bell that rings just for Trinity. But every time INTA

L the university carillonneur plays a song at a convocation ceremony or during a concert, AMELIA

: C particularly on Remembrance Day, that bell sounds out in memory of those who left their College — and their country — never to HOTOGRAPHY
