Ralph Nader Speaks in Support of the UC Health Studies Program

opular consumer advocate and former US presidential candidate Ralph Nader spoke in support of Pthe UC Health Studies program on September 24, 2009, delivering a speech entitled “Public Health Care and Its Preservation in Canada.” The sold-out event at Hart House was part of ongoing efforts to build an endowment for the program and name it after Tommy Douglas, the founder of Canadian medicare and former premier of Saskatchewan. In an address full of sobering statistics and bold pronouncements, Nader praised the universality and accessibility of Canada’s health care system relative to that of the United States, which he scathingly described as “criminal and criminogenic” and “beyond a travesty; a pay or die system.” Of Canada’s cherished public health care system, he warned: “Don’t think it can’t be destroyed.” Shirley Douglas, the daughter of Tommy Douglas and spokesperson for the Canadian Health Coalition, delivered introductory remarks. The lecture was followed by a VIP reception where guests had the opportunity to meet Ralph Nader and Shirley Douglas. END

Heritage Society Luncheon

he UC Heritage Society Luncheon, a dual celebration of planned giving donors to the College and the 150th anniversary of the opening of UC for classes in 1859, was held in Croft Chapter THouse on November 4, 2009. Professor Emeritus Peter Richardson, principal of UC from 1977 to 1989, gave an illustrated talk on the early history of the College—the building, the institution, the architect, the people and the city of 30,000 for which it was a visual anchor. With the help of archival photographs, Prof. Richardson highlighted features of the College which survived the calamitous fire of 1890. Showing copies of the architectural drawings, he pointed out sketches that had been penciled in over the original plans, some of which represented significant alterations to UC’s design. Principal Sylvia Bashevkin and student Keenan Dixon delivered introductory remarks to the group of 60 donors and friends. After the seminar, guests mingled over lunch and an impressive display of architectural drawings, borrowed from the collection of Prof. David Rayside. END

Appropriately named “Easy Street,” it describes student life in the 1950s as “enlivened by drinking and student pranks, particularly surrounding initiations.” There were scavenger hunts to obtain advertising signs from TTC streetcars, clashes between rival colleges and, “some students, allegedly engineers, painted the word ‘Skule’ on arts buildings throughout the campus” (The University of Toronto: A History, page 384). Although these activities were all in good fun, it is not surprising that University officials were shocked by the behaviour of U of T students. But, what was our distinguished author doing throughout all of this? In his memoirs, My Life in Crime and Other Academic Adventures, Prof. Friedland reflects on how he became president of the UC Lit upon its centennial in 1954. “I probably won the election as president of the Lit for two principal reasons.

The UC Follies Dr. Levi describes the amalgamation motion, passed on November 27, 1957 by a vote of 85-17, as having “proceeded without a hitch.” “A new constitution was drafted, and approved unanimously at a meeting of one hundred students in the Junior Common Room on January 23, 1958. From that point on, the Lit consisted of a ten-person executive, five men and five women, with joint control of all administration of student activities at University College.” This was indeed a triumph for women students and heralded further efforts to end discrimination on campus during the 1960s. The 1950s also saw sweeping changes to the physical and cultural landscapes of the St. George campus. It was a period of intense planning for the rapid development that occurred in the 1960s, as the University gradually took on an international flavour. Although the multicultural environment of 2010 was not yet apparent, seeds of change were sown by the 1951 establishment of Friendly Relations with Overseas Students, a group that sought to create links among students from different ethno-cultural By Yvonne Palkowski backgrounds.

UTAC Aat the Blair Lang Gallery, Toronto in 1957, this Tprovides over 540 square metres of high quality painting is clearly reminiscent of many Group of Seven gallery space and houses a collection of over 5800 works of compositions.

It regularly mounts acclaimed exhibitions and provides de Tonnancour in its relatively broad, flat areas of colour outstanding opportunities for student engagement, as well overlaid by thin, dynamic lines rendering the foliage and as a major new student meeting space in the art lounge. characteristic “bottle-brush” trees. The collections under the care of UTAC are particularly strong in the area of Canadian landscape painting from the 19th century through the Group of Seven. The recently acquired John Hall (below) and the promised gifts of works by Jacques de Tonnancour (right) and Albert Franck (below right), constitute important additions to the collection in that they assist in presenting a more complete history of Canadian art, including via the teaching opportunities they afford. The de Tonnancour and Hall paintings offer outstanding examples of 1950s Canadian landscape, quite distinct in style from the Group of Seven. The very fine Albert Franck adds to a small nucleus of works focusing on domestic buildings, presenting a view of Toronto residential architecture that is increasingly difficult to find.
