  • The Scottish Roots of English Studies in Canada
    The Dream of Empire: The Scottish Roots of English Studies in Canada SARAH PHILLIPS CASTEEL T XHE LAST FIFTEEN years have seen the publication of a num• ber of histories of English Studies in Canada which depart from earlier discussions by focusing on disciplinary formation rather than on the history of a specific institution (Tayler; Johnson; Murray; Hubert). This new orientation has brought to light some of the social undercurrents that propelled the formation of the discipline of English in the emerging society of nine• teenth-century colonial Canada. Yet surprisingly, these disci• plinary histories largely neglect the significant links between the rise of English Studies and the history of British imperialism that have recently been identified by scholars such as Gauri Viswanathan and Robert Crawford. This limitation is best illustrated by the treatment of the Scot• tish legacy in the histories of the discipline. Most scholars of Canadian English Studies readily acknowledge the dispropor• tionate impact of Scottish immigrants on the formation of Canadian universities, and especially on the growth of rhetoric and of modern languages departments. Some have in fact made the Scottish contribution the focus of their studies (Masters; Tayler). Such scholars call attention to the deep-rooted divi• sions between English Anglican and Scottish Presbyterian edu• cators that patterned the Canadian educational system and determined the place of English Studies in that system, as the English emphasis on a classical curriculum came up against the more utilitarian Scottish approach. Yet these accounts fail to consider in any depth how a long and fraught history of Anglo- Scottish relations informed the Scottish immigrants' debate with English educators in Canada.

  • The Hiring of James Mark Baldwin and James Gibson Hume at Toronto in 1889
    History of Psychology Copyright 2004 by the Educational Publishing Foundation 2004, Vol. 7, No. 2, 130–153 1093-4510/04/$12.00 DOI: 10.1037/1093-4510.7.2.130 THE HIRING OF JAMES MARK BALDWIN AND JAMES GIBSON HUME AT THE UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO IN 1889 Christopher D. Green York University In 1889, George Paxton Young, the University of Toronto’s philosophy professor, passed away suddenly while in the midst of a public debate over the merits of hiring Canadians in preference to American and British applicants for faculty positions. As a result, the process of replacing Young turned into a continuation of that argument, becoming quite vociferous and involving the popular press and the Ontario gov- ernment. This article examines the intellectual, political, and personal dynamics at work in the battle over Young’s replacement and its eventual resolution. The outcome would have an impact on both the Canadian intellectual scene and the development of experimental psychology in North America. In 1889 the University of Toronto was looking to hire a new professor of philosophy. The normally straightforward process of making a university appoint- ment, however, rapidly descended into an unseemly public battle involving not just university administrators, but also the highest levels of the Ontario govern- ment, the popular press, and the population of the city at large. The debate was not pitched solely, or even primarily, at the level of intellectual issues, but became intertwined with contentious popular questions of nationalism, religion, and the proper place of science in public education. The impact of the choice ultimately made would reverberate not only through the university and through Canada’s broader educational establishment for decades to come but, because it involved James Mark Baldwin—a man in the process of becoming one of the most prominent figures in the study of the mind—it also rippled through the nascent discipline of experimental psychology, just then gathering steam in the United States of America.

  • The Undergraduate Curriculum in the Faculty of Arts & Science at the University of Toronto, 1945-2000
    The Toronto Scheme: The Undergraduate Curriculum in the Faculty of Arts & Science at the University of Toronto, 1945-2000 by Emily Alexandre Walters Greenleaf A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Theory & Policy Studies in Education University of Toronto © Copyright by Emily Alexandre Walters Greenleaf 2010 The Toronto Scheme: The Undergraduate Curriculum in the Faculty of Arts & Science at the University Toronto, 1945-2000 Emily Alexandre Walters Greenleaf Doctor of Philosophy Department of Theory and Policy Studies in Education University of Toronto 2010 Abstract Over the course of the second half of the twentieth century, undergraduate degree requirements in the Faculty of Arts (later the Faculty of Arts & Science) at the University of Toronto were comprehensively reviewed and revised seven times. The records of these reviews demonstrate that the curricular changes of the second half of the twentieth century were substantial, reflecting attempts by curricular planners to shape the undergraduate program of study to accommodate broader social, economic, demographic, and epistemological changes. These changes therefore reflect the connections between the University and its local, provincial, and international communities. These substantial changes, however, are balanced by consistent and recurrent patterns in curriculum across this period as curricular planners sought ways to implement sustained curricular goals into a changed institutional environment and a changed curricular framework. Collectively, these reviews demonstrate that the U of T maintained a distinct approach to undergraduate education from the beginning of this period through the end. This approach, referred to here as the ―Toronto Scheme,‖ is characterized by the belief that specialized study can lead to liberal education, and that students should have access to multiple pathways through the degree.

  • The Canadian Institute and the Origins of the Ontario Archaeological Tradition 1851-1884
    KILLAN: THE CANADIAN INSTITUTE 3 THE CANADIAN INSTITUTE AND THE ORIGINS OF THE ONTARIO ARCHAEOLOGICAL TRADITION 1851-1884 Gerald Killan ABSTRACT Although David Boyle (1842-1911) is credited with fully developing the Classificatory- Descriptive Period of Ontario archaeology after 1884, his precursors at the Canadian Institute laid the foundation for a scientific archaeological tradition in Ontario. Between 1851 and 1884 Institute members tried to replace the purely speculative and antiquarian approach to archaeology by articulating a scientific rationale for the emerging discipline, by introducing advanced methods and procedures, and by opening the pages of the Canadian Journal to those influences giving rise to a scientific archaeology on both sides of the Atlantic. The first attempts to establish an Ontario archaeological museum and to undertake site inventory also occurred in this period. INTRODUCTION Ontario archaeologists are generally aware that during the second half of the nineteenth century, the Canadian Institute in Toronto played a noteworthy role in the development of their discipline. It was under the auspices of this organization, for instance, that David Boyle originally established his Ontario Archaeological Museum and launched what has been properly described as "the first archeological work in Ontario which may safely be called scientific" (Kidd 1952:71; Noble 1972:16). While Boyles invaluable contributions have been briefly acknowledged in the several short historical surveys of Canadian archaeological endeavour Jenness
