He returned to New York to attend the annual meetings of the American Philological Association and the Archaeological Institute of America. He was one of six Classics professors invited to present position papers at an open forum on the state of undergraduate programs in Classical studies. Other papers were presented by professors from Yale, Wellesley, Harvard, Duke and Texas. Dr. Kahn has been invited to become a member of the Committee on Teacher Training of the American Philological Association. Dr. Kahn and Dr. Boggess engaged in informal discussions with Classics professors conducting experimental courses in the discipline, particularly in ancient history and urban studies. At a meeting of distinguished archaeologists and museum directors from all over North America Dr. Kahn and Mrs. Elizabeth Boggess, curator of the Brock Museum of Cypriot Antiquities, made plans for an international conference on Cypriot archaeology and history to be held at Brock the weekend of October 15, 1971, at which Professor Vassos Karageorghis, Director of the Cypriot National Museum, will be the quest of honor. This year both the retiring president of the American Philological Association, Malcolm McGregor of UBC and the newly-elected president, Edward Salmon of McMaster University, are Canadians. IN THE NEWS PROFESSOR H. SCHUTZ Herbert Schutz, Germanic and Slavic Studies, has been awarded a Canada Council Research Grant which will enable him to spend the summer at the Schiller Museum, -3- BROCK CAMPUS NEWS JAN 7/71 Marbach, Germany.

Kayser, Geography, has been re-appointed to serve on the St. Catharines Urban Renewal Citizen Advisory Committee for the year 1971. INTERLIBRARY LOANS AVAILABLE NOW TO UNDERGRADUATES Interlibrary loans are now available on an experimental basis to undergraduates. The Ontario Council of University Librarians has established a pilot project to be conducted in the Brock, Queens and Western Libraries. Each of these three libraries is able to borrow for their undergraduates from the libraries of the other provincially assisted universities in Ontario. The experiment will run from January 1, 1971 to April 30, 1971. The results of the experiment will be analysed by the staff of the Ontario Universities Bibliographic Centre Project to determine whether this service can be continued on a regular basis. Any student holding a valid Brock identification card is eligible to request material directly through the Reference Department of the library. Endorsement by faculty is not necessary. Full details of the procedures to be followed by undergraduates requiring interlibrary loans are available from the Reference Department. The interlibrary loan service to faculty, graduate students and staff is not affected by the implementation of this pilot project and will continue in the usual manner.

WINTER CARNIVAL BIG AFFAIR The annual Winter Carnival, beginning January 14 and ending January 18, will include a medley of social/cultural happenings. -4- BROCK CAMPUS NEWS JAN 7/71 Richard Needham, Globe and Mail columnist, visits on Friday, January 15 at 1:30 p.m., and Toronto Workshop Productions presents The Hostage in Thistle Theatre that night.

The movie version of Hamlet is being presented in Thistle Theatre Monday afternoon, and in the early evening 'War Games' will be practised on the football field. To climax the carnival week there will be a Pub Nite in the Poesis Lounge at 8:30 p.m. NOTICE BOARDS Notice boards are an effective medium for reaching the University Community. To achieve the greatest efficiency it is a prerequisite that uniformity of presentation be achieved, overcrowding on bulletin boards avoided and the freshness of news maintained. There are basically three types of bulletin boards within the University: Students, Departmental and Official. The supervision of the student notice boards is a student responsibility; likewise the Departmental notice board is the responsibility of the department concerned; the Official notice board is the responsibility of the Department of Information and Development. There are at present eight locations designated as Official bulletin board locations. These boards are being purchased and it is expected they will be in place later this month. The objective of 'Official' bulletin boards is not to curtail posting but rather to handle notices in an orderly manner. It seems important to draw attention to the fact that there are a number of places in the University where notices are not to be posted because they give rise to maintenance problems: 1) ELEVATORS, 2) ON WALL SURFACES; surfaces are damaged because dirt adheres to those spots where scotch, adhesive or masking tape is used, 3) GLASS SURFACES; most of the glass used in the building is thermophane and if a poster is stuck on it unequal expansion results when the sun is shining on the glass. -5- BROCK CAMPUS NEWS JAN 7/71 The cleaning and maintenance staff have been instructed to remove all notices, posters, etc. from these areas. MASS MAILING Increased mailing costs and certain duplications in our current mailing lists have encouraged the University to undertake a review of mailing procedures with a view to cutting down wasteful costs.

    Liberalism, Social Democracy, and Tom Kent Kenneth C. Dewar Journal of Canadian Studies/Revue d'études canadiennes, Volume 53, Number/numéro 1, Winter/hiver 2019, pp. 178-196 (Article) Published by University of Toronto Press For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/719555 Access provided by Mount Saint Vincent University (19 Mar 2019 13:29 GMT) Journal of Canadian Studies • Revue d’études canadiennes Liberalism, Social Democracy, and Tom Kent KENNETH C. DEWAR Abstract: This article argues that the lines separating different modes of thought on the centre-left of the political spectrum—liberalism, social democracy, and socialism, broadly speaking—are permeable, and that they share many features in common. The example of Tom Kent illustrates the argument. A leading adviser to Lester B. Pearson and the Liberal Party from the late 1950s to the early 1970s, Kent argued for expanding social security in a way that had a number of affinities with social democracy. In his paper for the Study Conference on National Problems in 1960, where he set out his philosophy of social security, and in his actions as an adviser to the Pearson government, he supported social assis- tance, universal contributory pensions, and national, comprehensive medical insurance. In close asso- ciation with his philosophy, he also believed that political parties were instruments of policy-making. Keywords: political ideas, Canada, twentieth century, liberalism, social democracy Résumé : Cet article soutient que les lignes séparant les différents modes de pensée du centre gauche de l’éventail politique — libéralisme, social-démocratie et socialisme, généralement parlant — sont perméables et qu’ils partagent de nombreuses caractéristiques.

For more complete and updated information on the meeting refer to: http://www.isce-psna2004ottawa.ca/. With the exceptional two-year hiatus this time between annual meetings, Ottawa will be an excellent opportunity for Society members to consider how the society provides a forum for chemical ecologists worldwide to exchange ideas amongst themselves, as well as consider how the Society can improve the facilitation of this through various modes, including annual meetings, this newsletter and website, keeping in mind the limited resources of the Society. To this purpose, I encourage members to contribute to the Society actively by expressing any ideas or constructive criticisms they have to the Executive and Council members. Those of you who will be attending the meeting can do this at the Business Meeting. However, I encourage those members who are unable to attend this year’s meeting to email me any suggestions, etc they have and I will table them at the Executive Council meeting in Ottawa.

  • The Regional Cosmopolitanism of George Woodcock

    The Regional Cosmopolitanism of George Woodcock

    Transoceanic Canada: The Regional Cosmopolitanism of George Woodcock by Matthew Hiebert B.A., The University of Winnipeg, 1997 M.A., The University of Amsterdam, 2002 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF Doctor of Philosophy in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (English) The University Of British Columbia (Vancouver) August 2013 c Matthew Hiebert, 2013 ABSTRACT Through a critical examination of his oeuvre in relation to his transoceanic geographical and intellectual mobility, this dissertation argues that George Woodcock (1912-1995) articulates and applies a normative and methodological approach I term “regional cosmopolitanism.” I trace the development of this philosophy from its germination in London’s thirties and forties, when Woodcock drifted from the poetics of the “Auden generation” towards the anti-imperialism of Mahatma Gandhi and the anarchist aesthetic modernism of Sir Herbert Read. I show how these connected influences—and those also of Mulk Raj Anand, Marie-Louise Berneri, Prince Peter Kropotkin, George Orwell, and French Surrealism—affected Woodcock’s critical engagements via print and radio with the Canadian cultural landscape of the Cold War and its concurrent countercultural long sixties. Woodcock’s dynamic and dialectical understanding of the relationship between literature and society produced a key intervention in the development of Canadian literature and its critical study leading up to the establishment of the Canada Council and the groundbreaking journal Canadian Literature. Through his research and travels in India—where he established relations with the exiled Dalai Lama and major figures of an independent English Indian literature—Woodcock relinquished the universalism of his modernist heritage in practising, as I show, a postcolonial and postmodern situated critical cosmopolitanism that advocates globally relevant regional culture as the interplay of various traditions shaped by specific geographies.

  • The 1962 Grey Cup: Played in a Fog

    The 1962 Grey Cup: Played in a Fog

    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 13, No. 6 (1991) The 1962 Grey Cup: Played in a Fog by Jack Ziegler Most pro football games take 3 to 3 1/2 hours to complete. However, when the Winnipeg Blue Bombers met the Hamilton Tiger-Cats for the Grey Cup Championship in 1962 the game took 25 hours because of fog delay. Or as Bobby Kuntz of the Ti-Cats put it: “I waited seven years to play in a Grey Cup game and then I get two in two days.” The Grey Cup game was scheduled for 1 p.m. on December 1, 1962 in Toronto’s Canadian National Exhibition stadium. As early as 30 November, league and club officials were concerned about the heavy fog in Toronto. Joseph Sheehan of the New York Times reported that “It was so foggy ...in downtown Toronto that until noon it was impossible to see across even a narrow street.” Yet by 11:30 a.m. on game day things seemed to be going well. While there was heavy fog over Lake Ontario, weather at CNE stadium was delightful with the temperature in the fifties and sunny skies. But by 1 p.m. kickoff time the field was covered with haze as prevailing winds began to move the fog in from the lake. By the end of the first quarter there were dense patches of fog on the field that eventually became a solid mass. From the stands and the press box, fans and reporters could only see halfway across the 65 yard wide field.
