  • Apartment Style Living in New Residence
    Apartment style living in new residence The Universitys newly-completed east resi- dence complex consists of self-contained apartments, each with its own cooking,lounge and washroom facilities. "When these units were planned we had four features that we felt best reflected the students needs," says Martyn Best, area director for the new complex. "These features were apartment-style living, a high degree of emphasis on single rooms, full kitchen facili- ties, and a minimum of noise. In the east residences we feel we have achieved these goals." The new units are located just east of the East Ring Road, and are connected by a walkway which passes underneath this road, and joins the pedestrian spine to the centre of the campus. Most conspicious from a dis- tance is Glengarry Hall, a 12-storey, high-rise building. But beside it are two four-storey units: Dundas Hall which is to the north, and Lanark Hall to the east. The three units, which are joined together on the main floor Lanark Hall, left, and Glengarry Hall, two buildings in the Universitys newly-completed east by a corridor and by gymnasium facilities in residence complex, stand in a landscaped setting on the highest point of land in Guelph. They the basement, have spaces for 617 students. will provide apartment space which includes cooking facilities for 617 students. The university now has, not counting married student housing, 3875 residence spaces, more than any other university in Canada. The apartments in the new complex vary in size: the smallest ones accommodate six students in four singles, and one double room, the largest provide for 12 students, 10 in single rooms and two in a double.

  • The Czech Prism
    Oskar Morawetz: The Czech Prism by Radka Hanáková A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts Faculty of Music University of Toronto © Copyright by Radka Hanáková 2020 Oskar Morawetz: The Czech Prism Radka Hanáková Doctor of Musical Arts Faculty of Music University of Toronto 2020 Abstract Oskar Morawetz (1917 – 2007) carved out a successful career in Canada, yet he remains relatively obscure in his native Czechoslovakia (now the Czech Republic). The complexity of his social, political and cultural background framed his identity as a person and musician. Understanding Czech–Canadian dualism is a vital component of grasping both his identity as a composer and reception of his music in the two countries. The Czech Prism is a documentation of a multidisciplinary project I developed and carried out in the years 2015 – 2019 in both Morawetz’s homelands – Canada and the Czech Republic – in order to unveil the Czech identity of the composer. It is neither an analysis nor a biography, but it contains elements of both. As such it follows Morawetz’s footsteps geographically: beginning in Europe, then moving to Canada, and finally returning to the Czech Republic. Among the most valuable contributions of this research is the discovery of a large amount of fascinating Czech correspondence in the Morawetz fonds in the Library and Archives Canada in Ottawa. The correspondence contains letters Morawetz exchanged with both his family members ii and others in Czechoslovakia, mostly between the years 1939 and 1995. This is the first time that this material has been examined, translated, and incorporated into a research document.
