Fifty years ago, as they were leaving to attend a symphony performance at Northern Illinois University, Warren and Mary Ober’s phone rang. It was a dean from the University of Waterloo, offering Warren a chance to interview for the position of chair of Waterloo’s English Department. After a visit here with their three young sons, they headed to Waterloo and never looked back.

Over the years, in his roles as Chair of the English Department, Chair of the Building Committee for Hagey Hall and Acting Dean of Arts, Warren has made significant contributions to Waterloo. But the list of 10 essay questions, really complicated ones, highlight of his career, he said, was being named of which three would appear on the final exam.

People would say to me, ‘Professor Ober, belongings and turned to leave, he was stopped in you’re one of my favourite profs.’ But I knew in my his tracks. “I turned back and there was the whole heart that I hadn’t [got there] so I kept working on class, giving me a standing ovation,” he said. “And it and working on it. I did my very best. And finally, I thought, my goodness — I sort of hid my tears. out of the blue, And after I had lowered the boom on them with that I was told I got exam! That’s an event that means so much to me a Distinguished still. I loved teaching that course, every time I did it.” “Ideas start here — that is a Teaching Award, Warren retired in 1994, but he maintains close and I said to very true motto, in keeping connections to Waterloo.

the development of a very distinctive and differentiated university education with its world-renowned co-op, experiential and entrepreneurship programs embedded in its 2016 genome (I can use that term as a biologist!); and a strategic plan that is remarkable in its Mark your calendars! continuous implementation and accountability to governance.

Much of my time is devoted to the 8 strategic plan themes and one can observe many changes occurring through the various themed groups of Vibrant Student Experience, Transformational Research, and Academic Programming and so on. But one visible, physical manifestation of this (behind which all activities occur) is the increase in research, teaching, study and social space. And so we see the building of Science Complex 1, Needles Hall extension, Hagey Hall infill, AHS extension and a 500 bed residence. But we are not finished! We are about to build Science Complex 2 and Engineering 7 — so stay tuned. But one project that is not so evidently observed from the

UWaterloo’s original board table Professor John Keeler, reminiscing on the early days of the university in the 2015 Fall WATtimes, mentions a table:

When Engineering II was “finished there was a board room on the first floor of the office wing. It was used for meetings of the Board of Governors, the Senate, the Engineering Faculty Council THOMSON J. PHOTO:

and other university committees. That table still had much more life in it! Your editor sat at the table For a small university the for about 20 years, at department and committee meetings, seminars furnishings were quite grand and thesis defences. It is in the Norman Ashton Seminar room of the Faculty of Applied Health Sciences on the third floor of B.C. Mathews including a large round table, Hall and still in use today. It has been refurbished and a plaque reminiscent of legendary King attached signifying its importance. Arthur. It too gradually became The history of the table’s resurrection is a bit murky however. Ron too warped to be useful — Marteniuk, dean of the then Faculty of Human Kinetics and Leisure a minor design problem. Studies (HKLS) retrieved the table from Central Stores sometime between 1985 and 1987. Both assistants to several deans, Donna ” Sutherland and Julie Cassaubon, confirm it was there when they started in the now-named AHS in the late 80’s. During his time as dean, Bob Norman had the table refurbished to its present luster. The next dean, Mike Sharratt, attributes the bronze plaque to Bob, maybe in collaboration with Norm Ashton (the father of Kinesiology). The current dean, Jim Rush, reports that the University Secretary, Logan Atkinson, has expressed an interest in seeing it. In the photo, the pictures of all of the Faculty’s Deans are on the wall, and the plaque is on the table at 9 o’clock. This story/fable has been pieced together from collectively foggy memories.
