University of Guelph Atrium NEWS BULLETIN UNIVERSITY OF GUELPH Vol -10-26 25th July, 1966. THREE-SEMESTER ASUMMER STUDENTS In a report entitled "Who are they? and Why did they come?", the students who enrolled in the spring semester revealed just who they are and why they came. This report is the efforts of a joint committee of faculty members from the University and the Ontario Institute of Studies in Education who assembled the data from a questionnaire that was given to the students the second day of their arrival WHO ARE THEY? The data revealed several things: first of all, the girls out­ number the boys by a slight number bringing to an end the era of the 1:6 or 6:1 'proportion, From 246 students who enrolled in the spring, 216 were students who did not finish their Grade 13 course and were able to begin their university education earlier. If these students had not been able to come, the success of the summer program would have rested on only a few. Many of them have come from small communities and from families with wide ranges of income. About.two-thirds of the students are from families of three or more children. In most families, neither parent has | attended university. Of the more than six hundred secondary schools in | Ontario, the students attended 139 of them or one in every five. The high academic qualifications of this pioneer group is apparent | to all who teach them. As a group, they entered with an average of 73%. ! In the provincial, departmental tests that were given to all Grade 12 | students, almost one half of this freshman class placed in the top twenty ! percent. These students were all eligible to obtain financial help under the | new bursary-loan scheme instituted by the Department of University Affairs, j About 80% of the students received some form of financial aid,including 39 students with averages of 75% or above who were awarded University of j Guelph scholarships. WHY DID THEY COME? An overwhelming number of the students cited the trisemester system and the opportunity to complete their university education in a shorter period of time as their reason for leaving Grade 13 to enroll in the spring_semester, Only a small number of students stated the opportunity to avoid Grade 13 departmental examinations as their reason for coming. Some students mentioned that the opportunity the trisemester offers to balance educational costs with financial resources was an advantage. A few considered the job opportunities to be greater in the fall and winter semesters when most students are at university. 2 APPOINTMENTS Mr. Harold Hughes has joined the staff of the School of Engineering as an Assistant Professor in his field of design. Although he will be mainly concerned with research in the design of machinery and mechanization in the fruit and vegetable production, he will also lecture in design. Mr. Hughes obtained a BSC from Michigan State University and this year completed his studies for a Masters of Science at the University of Arizona.

  • Remembrance Day Poppies: the Political History of a Symbol
    Remembrance Day Poppies: The Political History of a Symbol This post by Andrea Eidinger originally appeared on Unwritten Histories. This post was inspired by a suggestion from Tina Adcock, and without her support and encouragement, it probably would have remained unwritten. So I would like to send her a huge extra-special thank-you. I would also like to thank the individuals who read and commented on previous versions of this draft, including Tina Adcock, Andrew Nurse, JonWeier, Chris Schultz, and Maj. (ret.) Peter Scales MA. A special thank-you goes to Christina Wakefield for supplying me with information about the 1921 Great War Veterans Association. Finally, many of the points raised in this blog post emerged out of online conversations about wearing poppies, both on Facebook and Twitter. I would like to thank everyone who participated for their contributions and for making this blog post much more nuanced. A few weeks ago, the Royal British Legion posted a series of images designed to bust some prevalent myths about what poppies mean. One of the comments caught the attention of Tina Adcock and myself: “Poppies are not pro-war, they are a symbol of respect for those who sacrificed everything for our safety. But not commemorating past wars would mean we don’t learn from history.”[1] That is one hell of a loaded sentence, especially when we are still in the midst of Monument Wars. But it did make me start realizing that we don’t know very much about the poppy’s history as a symbol in Canada.

  • A Short History of Army Intelligence
    A Short History of Army Intelligence by Michael E. Bigelow, Command Historian, U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command Introduction On July 1, 2012, the Military Intelligence (MI) Branch turned fi fty years old. When it was established in 1962, it was the Army’s fi rst new branch since the Transportation Corps had been formed twenty years earlier. Today, it remains one of the youngest of the Army’s fi fteen basic branches (only Aviation and Special Forces are newer). Yet, while the MI Branch is a relatively recent addition, intelligence operations and functions in the Army stretch back to the Revolutionary War. This article will trace the development of Army Intelligence since the 18th century. This evolution was marked by a slow, but steady progress in establishing itself as a permanent and essential component of the Army and its operations. Army Intelligence in the Revolutionary War In July 1775, GEN George Washington assumed command of the newly established Continental Army near Boston, Massachusetts. Over the next eight years, he dem- onstrated a keen understanding of the importance of MI. Facing British forces that usually outmatched and often outnumbered his own, Washington needed good intelligence to exploit any weaknesses of his adversary while masking those of his own army. With intelligence so imperative to his army’s success, Washington acted as his own chief of intelligence and personally scrutinized the information that came into his headquarters. To gather information about the enemy, the American com- mander depended on the traditional intelligence sources avail- able in the 18th century: scouts and spies.

  • Last of the Doughboys by Chris Gibbons Published in the Philadelphia Daily News, May 25, 2007
    Last of the Doughboys By Chris Gibbons Published in the Philadelphia Daily News, May 25, 2007 “To the world he was just a soldier, but to me, he was all the world.” (Epitaph on the gravestone of a soldier killed in WW I) It must be a very strange and lonely feeling to realize that you are among the very last to still be alive. Being last has always held a somewhat negative connotation in our society: finishing in last place, the last in line, the last to be picked, or the last to know. However, these men are the last of the doughboys, which some might contend is not such a bad thing, for you are still among the living. However, to have endured the deaths of so many of their comrades, both during and after the war, and to have witnessed the devastating wars that followed the “war to end all wars”, must have slowly chipped away at their souls. In the prime of their youth they were among the 4.7 million Americans who served their country during World War I. Now, in the twilight of their lives, they are the 4 known surviving American veterans from one of the most devastating wars the world has ever seen. The origin of the term “doughboys” remains sketchy. Some said it referred to the dough-like shape of their uniform buttons, others thought it was due to the dough-white trimmings on their uniforms. The doughboys fought in one of the greatest conflicts of the 20th century, and its impact upon the world still reverberates to this day.

  • Dwight Wilson, First World War Veteran Dies at Age 106
    Dwight Wilson, First World War Veteran Dies at Age 106. May 9, 2007 The flags have been lowered to half-mast at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, Canada’s largest veterans care facility to honour the passing of Percy “Dwight” Wilson, First World War veteran. A resident of the veterans’ wing at Sunnybrook, Mr. Wilson passed away peacefully this morning at the age of 106. His passing leaves one known surviving Canadian First World War veteran, Mr. John Babcock who lives in Spokane, Washington. Mr. Wilson was born on February 26, 1901 in Vienna, Elgin County, Ontario. He was one of nine children. In 1915, as a young Cadet he trained as a mounted bugler in the militia and in July of the following year, at age 15 (a full three years shy of the legal minimum) he enlisted and joined the 69th Artillery Battery in Toronto. In 1916, following basic training in Camp Niagara and Camp Petawawa, Ontario, Dwight ventured overseas, as a bugle boy with the Toronto-based 69th Artillery Battery. On the two week voyage crossing the North Atlantic to England, he entertained the other troops on the R.M.S. Grampian liner with his wonderful singing voice. He was 1 of over 600,000 Canadians who fulfilled their sense of duty and volunteered to serve in the Great War. Once there, his superiors realized he was too young and held him back from the front lines. He stayed for a short time with the 34th Battalion (a reserve unit), where his duties included digging trenches in Dover, England.
