The University Killam Trust Committee, with membership from the senior administration, Killam Committee Chairs, and the Killam Trustees, meets annually to provide guidance and coordination for all activities related to the Killam programs at Dalhousie, and this report therefore is presented on behalf of this committee. The Killam Endowments enable Dalhousie University to maintain five programs: 1. Killam Predoctoral Scholarships are funded from the Advanced Studies fund; 2. Funding for Faculty of Graduate Studies Departmental Allocations for Graduate Scholarships are provided by the Killam Memorial Research and Scholarship (Anonymous Donor) fund and the Killam Residue fund; 3. Killam Postdoctoral Fellowships are funded by the Advanced Studies fund; 4. Killam Chairs are funded from the Killam Chair fund; and 5. Dorothy J. Killam Memorial Lecture Series and the annual Killam Dinner are funded from the Killam Residue fund. In recognition of the financial support provided to the Faculty of Science by the Killam Endowment, two additional awards were established in 1994-95: 1. Faculty of Science Killam Prize, funded from the Faculty of Science Operating fund; and 2. Faculty of Science Killam Professorships, funded from the Killam Memorial Salary fund. 1) KILLAM PREDOCTORAL SCHOLARSHIPS Killam Predoctoral Scholarships are awarded to graduate students in thesis programs at the master's and doctoral level in all disciplines except the fine arts. Killam Scholarships are the most prestigious awards offered by the university. Killam Predoctoral Scholarships are awarded based on a highly selective competition. Members of the 2008-2009 Killam Predoctoral Scholarship Competition Selection Committee are listed in Appendix 1. The competition for the 2008-2009 scholarships concluded with the awarding and acceptance of 38 new awards to first- year and continuing students (13 master’s, all new students, and 25 doctoral), while 68 students had their award renewed (15 master’s and 53 doctoral, see Appendix 2). Among the Killam scholars, 91 are Canadian, while 15 are students from 12 different countries. Of the 106 2008-2009 Killam Scholars, 64 were successful in obtaining major Page 2 Annual Report to the Killam National Conference 2008 external awards, demonstrating the very high quality of our scholarship recipients. All Killam PhD award holders starting PhD programs at Dalhousie are also eligible for the President’s Award, which covers tuition. 2) FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES DEPARTMENTAL ALLOCATIONS The Killam Memorial Research and Scholarship (Anonymous Donor) fund and the Killam Residue fund, award graduate scholarships to Canadian students in departments in the sciences and engineering. For the 2008-09 aca- demic year (September to August) students receiving these scholarship awards were in the Facul- ties/Departments/Schools/Programs of Anatomy & Neurobiology, Biological Engineering, Architecture, Atmos- pheric Science, Biochemistry, Biological Engineering, Biology, Biomedical Engineering, Business Administration, Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Civil Engineering, Community Health and Epidemiology, Computer Science, Earth Sciences, Economics, Electrical & Computer Engineering, Electronic Commerce, Engineering Mathematics, Environmental Studies, Food Science, Health & Human Performance, Health Services Administration, Health Informatics, Human Communication Disorders, Interdisciplinary PhD, International Development Studies, Marine Affairs, Mathematics, Mechanical Engineering, Metallurgical Engineering, Microbiology & Immunology, Mining Engineering, Naval Architecture, Nursing, Oceanography, Pathology, Pharmacology, Physics, Physiology & Bio- physics, Planning, Political Science, Public Administration, and Statistics. 3) KILLAM POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS The Dalhousie University Killam Fellowship competition is open to doctoral graduates, within two years of graduation,

While the LRT was trumpeted by local politicians DOI: https://doi.org/10.7202/1039114ar and bureaucrats as a symbol of the city’s coming of age, the project was fraught with problems. The article explores these problems and points out that the way See table of contents in which the project was managed is a cautionary tale in how not to promote large-scale public infrastructure projects.

  • The Parish Assembly and Its Delegates in the Loudunais and Acadia, 1650–1755
    The Parish Assembly and Its Delegates in the Loudunais and Acadia, 1650–1755 Gregory M. W. Kennedy Université de Moncton Most historians of western France conclude that rural community political life there was weak; they cite limited collective agriculture and communal property, and an outdated parish assembly that lacked regular meetings, wide participation, or written records. 1 In contrast, many historians of Acadia, a French colony that was ceded to Great Britain and called "Nova Scotia" after 1713, claim that rural community political life there, led by elected deputies, was unusually active and egalitarian. They maintain, moreover, that this was "a crucial step in the continued evolution of a distinct Acadian identity," perhaps even a "commitment to a democratic society."2 They further argue that these characteristics emerged from the need of the new British regime and the Acadian population to establish relations after 1713.3 Taken together, these conclusions contrast a new and dynamic colonial political culture with an older one in the home country that had become stale and subordinated to the 1 See Annie Antoine, Fiefs et villages du Bas-Maine au XVIIIe siècle (Mayenne: Éditions Régionales de l'Ouest, 1994), 41; Jean Gallet, Seigneurs et paysans en France, 1600–1793 (Rennes: Éditions Ouest-France, 1999), 68. 2 N.
