WHAT IS

TRINITY COLLEGE IS ITS PAST AND ITS FUTURE. IT IS OUR FOUNDER, BISHOP Tr i nStrachan, and i nearly 160 t years of academic y achievement. ? It is the Canada of Confederation and two World Wars. It is an Anglican tradition that still lives on in the services in the Chapel, in the Faculty of Divinity, and in the air of gentle tolerance that fills the College halls. • Trinity is also defined by its architectural heritage. The cupolas, finials and quadrangle of the main build- ing. The austere and soaring Chapel. The panelled dining hall. The Georgian serenity of St. Hilda’s. The glass and concrete of the 1960s Larkin Building.

As her term as Provost draws to a close, Margaret MacMillan reflects on what the College means to her: its architecture, its community of faculty, staff and INTA L alumni – but AMELIA

WHAT IS Tr i n i t y ?

And, most recently, the splendid Munk Centre for International Studies and John W. Graham Library with their beautiful formal gardens. Integral to Trinity’s identity, too, is its rich tradition of learning and aca- demic excellence, both inside the classroom and out. Trinity is about intel- lectual curiosity and valuing achievement for its own sake. It is where learn- ing and social interaction – enlivened by debating, drama and music – flow into each other; where students work hard at study and at life. Learning hap- pens in the halls and dining halls, in the classrooms and in the multitude of student clubs and teams. Trinity is its people: The more than 20,000 alumni who have passed through it doors. The Chancellors, the Provosts, the Bursars, the Librar- ians, Deans, Chaplains, Fellows and Faculty. The porters, the kitchen staff, the engineers who have been here for years. A community to which we all belong. Above all, though, Trinity is its students. The brightest and the best. Still growing, they come from across Canada and around the world, eager to learn and live in our lovely oasis in the middle of the city. They leave For students, as adults with their own tastes and values, and friendships that will endure Trinity is a lifetime. a“home base Many leave with high academic distinction – an inordinate number, for from which they such a small college, as Rhodes scholars.

Each generation represents its own Canada, from the Anglo-Saxon soci- ety of the 19th century to the multicultural one of today. Trinity has always gathered them in, nurtured and encouraged each one, prodded them to be the best they can be, gently teased them when they have been too serious and taught them how to live and work with each other. Much of our success lies in the fact that Trinity is small and intimate. We are the same size as many independent colleges in Canada and the United States. Yet, we are also part of a much bigger institution: the Uni- versity of Toronto, the best research university in Canada and one of the greatest public universities in North America. Trinity gives students a home base from which they can venture to explore and grow – intellectually, spir- itually and emotionally. Trinity makes a difference. Its students, alumni and graduates rightly take pride in it. We have much to celebrate. I – Margaret MacMillan, Provost and Vice-Chancellor

LL FASHION IS CYCLICAL, BUTNOONESAWTHIS LOOK COMING BACK. Trinity students have recently revived one more of the College’s seemingly inexhaustible supply of oddly charming traditions: the bright red Trinity College blazer.A Out of production for decades, the new blazers – a deep crimson with black piping and the College crest on the breast pocket – have popped up again on the backs of some of the more sartorially fearless men of college. “It is pretty daring,” says Trinity College Athletic Association (TCAA) head David Leach, the fourth-year student who was instrumental in reviving the blazer. “But it really does go quite well if you’re wearing black pants and your College tie, or just a regular red tie. It stands out.” Reminiscent of Captain Kangaroo, or Patrick McGoohan in The Prisoner, the look is one part old-boy Oxbridge whimsy, one part swinging-’60s Britannia, and one part 21st-century dandy – in other words, the perfect look for the modern Trinity man. The signature blazers have been spotted at alumni reunions in years past, but new ones hadn’t been made in years, until Leach, TCAA trea- surer Alex Somjen, and Head of College Alex Collis contacted Har- courts, Trinity’s supplier of academic gowns, to request a new batch. A new version of the blue and gold St. Hilda’s jacket – retro, yet up-to-the-minute like its cool men’s counterpart – is under con- sideration and will be produced if interest is expressed by the women of college. The one modelled here is only rarely worn by its owner, Joyce Sowby ’50. The crimson blazer may not be the most versatile piece of cloth- ing – “I wonder where I would wear it” outside of College, Leach admits – but the dapper duds certainly do add to the je ne sais quoi of Trinity life. “I just feel it adds something to the College’s small community,” says Leach. “Every time I wear it, I feel proud to be part of Trinity.” – Graham F.

HEAVY MESSAGE Bland or grand? Fat or fab? Hip or hippo? The eye of the beholder is being refocused, thanks to two Trinity grads who are on a crusade to change how we perceive beauty By Liz Allemang

Ben Barry and Erin Iles are two Trinity grads with very dif- universally heap upon themselves, having swallowed the ferent backgrounds that landed them in roughly the same narrow, unforgiving definition of media-portrayed beauty. place.Working separately – Barry through his own model- Recognizing that the success of their message, a reflection ling agency, and Iles on the Dove Campaign for Real Beauty of the Zeitgeist, lay in timing, Barry and Iles launched their – they concluded that the way women were portrayed in crusades and campaigns when the public was ready to deal advertising needed to be starved and photo-shopped out of with realistic images of women.Thanks partly to them, existence. Both witnessed the self-criticism that women wrinkles and Size 14 haven’t looked so good in years.

ERIN ILES ’95 ERIN ILES REMEMBERS BEING REALLY TERRIFIED. “WE HAD this billboard featuring a heavy woman, and next to her were tick boxes that said ‘fat’ and ‘fab.’ I thought we would cause a lot of car accidents,” says the 39-year-old marketing director with Unilever, the company that owns the Dove beauty line. “People love it now, but at the time it was shocking, and a lot of people were against it before we had even launched.” Iles is talking about the Dove Campaign for Real Beauty, the wildly successful advertising campaign-cum-social revolution that is currently taking place in more than 50 countries and rapidly growing in breadth and momentum. The campaign, which seeks to combat negative self-images among women and promote “a different standard of beauty,” had a relatively modest beginning in 2004, as a $1-million, month-long experiment in the form of the controversial tick-box billboards. The whole thing came about, says Iles, one of five people on Unilever’s global team who developed the campaign, because Dove, known for its soap, wanted to expand its range and become a beauty brand. The ques- tion the team had to focus on was, “What kind of beauty brand?” An enormously positive and influential one, as it turned out. Iles grew up in Scarborough, Ont., and opted to attend Trinity because the prospect of a small, traditional college with an active student body appealed to her. She lived at St. Hilda’s and was Head of College in her fourth year. “I gained so much insight from that experience,” says Iles, who is now married and a new mother. “You have no idea what’s happening in young women’s lives or what they’re thinking just by looking at them, and you work with them and it changes your perspective entirely.” Who knew that the times she shared with fellow St. Hildians would later inform some of her

Ah, but has the songstress with the soaring voice ever worn a cloud? Or a chasuble as heavenly as this one? Donated in 1951 by Ottawa’s former mayor, Charlotte Whitton, in memory of her friend, Mar- garet Grier, it’s a bit heavy for something so celes- tial, but once you get it over your head, “like any well-made piece of clothing, it feels wonderful,” says Dana Fisher, chap- lain of Trinity College, who gets to inhabit this vestment on a regular basis. It was Fisher who, remembering the piece from her student days, spearheaded the movement to take this crumbling fragment of history and return it to active service so that it could once again be seen at Trinity weddings, funerals and “white” festivals, such as Easter. After getting Trinity Divinity luminar- ies Milton Barry ’69, John Bothwell ’48, David Neelands ’65, Borden Purcell ’54 and Brian Ruttan ’76 to donate the necessary funds, and a tal- ented sewer, Dorothy Paterson of Saint Wilfrid’s parish, to volunteer her time to do the restoration, it was discovered that the Tudor Rose silk, first made in the early 1900s and used in the original P HOTOGRAPHY vestment, was still being produced and was avail- able in an ecclesiastical shop in Montreal.
