10 Spring/Summer 2018 St. Michael’s Brennan Hall

Major renovation will Continuity revitalize this much-loved centre while maintaining in its place as the social heart of St. Mike’s change By Mark Osbaldeston 9T0 n the morning of August 29, 1939, hundreds of St. Michael’s College alumni came back to campus to celebrate the official opening of Brennan Hall. The day started with Mass at St. Basil’s Church and, fol- lowing the formal dedication of the new building by Archbishop James Charles McGuigan, concluded with a festive lunch Oin Brennan’s second-floor dining hall. No one in attendance on that late-summer morning could have known how radically life was about to change: less than two weeks later, Canada declared war on Germany. Change has been a constant in the eight decades since. Yet through it all, Brennan Hall has remained at the centre of St. Mike’s campus life, providing space for dining, meeting and socializing. Now a major, two-stage renovation is underway that aims to revitalize Brennan Hall’s interior while securing its place as the student-focused social heart of St. Mike’s for years to come.

“Where else could one relax with a Coke and french fries, listen to loud Beatles’ tunes, and compare exam results with a bunch of co-ed friends? Where else could you dance, meet other USMC’ers—non-residents, as well as those in other dorms—and still be close to your dorm…in order to get back before curfew? For us, Brennan Hall really was the “heart” of USMC…a place for socializing, nourishment and fun.…” – Jane Lavery 6T8

“During my five years at U of T, I spent time in many areas of campus, taking courses and engaging in peace activism, but I called St. Mike’s home. In particular, Brennan Hall and the [Dodig Family] COOP were home because that was where my friends were. I met most of these folks on the first day of orientation in September 1986, and a group of us developed a close-knit friendship/family that remains strong today. I was a commuter student—a ‘day hop’—and having a welcoming

There were members of the Italian Club who lounged there, the student council offices were there, and of course everyone knew that Lourdes, who ran the COOP, would provide comfort food for all.” – Esther Cieri 9T0

A design for the ages Architect Arthur W. Holmes, then in his 70s and at the end of a prolific career that had seen him design Catholic churches and institutional buildings across the province, planned Brennan Hall in the same Gothic revival style as his 1935-36 Teefy/Fisher/More complex on Queen’s Park Crescent. But Brennan Hall marked a turning point in the development of the campus. Both complexes can be traced to a pre-Depression master plan that would have seen every building on campus razed, including St. Basil’s Church. Yet Brennan Hall’s deft insertion among its historic neighbours suggested a new ethos where the best of the past could be integrated with new construction.

Máirtín Coilféir Celtic Studies

Professor Máirtín Coilféir holds a BA and PhD from Trinity College, Dublin, and has worked in the National University of Ireland, Galway, and Univer- sity College, Dublin. He teaches the Irish language, modern Irish literature and history, and aspects of the manuscript tradition, and is currently preparing a 1950s manuscript—a lost translation of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn—for publication.

What’s special about Celtic Studies at St. Mike’s? A rare mix of academic excellence and personal care. The program is remarkable for both its breadth and its depth of learning. I’m lucky to be working with some amazing scholars and, between us all, we are able to offer courses on everything from Irish medieval manuscripts and Welsh legends to Famine histories and contemporary music. Why did you choose to come teach in Canada? The biggest part of my coming here, I think, was the chance to help develop the Irish language in Canada. Although its promotion and protection in Ireland remain as important as ever, the opportunity to do the same in Toronto was too interesting to pass up. So far, it has been as rewarding as I could hope for—the students are fantastic and there’s a wonderful appreciation for the Irish cultural events that St. Mike’s organizes. What did you enjoy about teaching this year? The courses I taught this year were very varied—the history of the Celtic manuscript and book, early modern history, contemporary Máirtín Coilféir, St. Mike’s Irish literature, sociolinguistics and traditional music all featured— new Assistant Professor in but the ones that mean the most to me are the Irish language courses.

It’s the unique product of Catholic intellectuals who had the vision to inaugurate an academic program that would bring the range, the depth and the variety of the Christian experience into the curricular life of both a Catholic college and a world-class secular institution. How does that affect your work? St. Mike’s is a place to think seriously about the ultimate questions that are explored in art and culture but which, too often, fall outside the disciplinary scope of other academic courses. For example, my current

Why are you at St. Mike’s? By good fortune or providence? In all seriousness, if by ‘why,’ you mean ‘for what purpose,’ then I would say I’m here to make a dif- ference in the lives of students who seek answers—whether they realize it or not—to ‘big questions’: the origins of the universe, its trajectory, and the place that human beings occupy in it. Of course I don’t have answers to provide, but as a historian of science and religion, I can offer context, perspectival depth and intellectual tools that I hope will help them in their own search. This is particularly true for students who both pursue a scientific career and have a spiritual life, but I think it is relevant for all of them.

20 Spring/Summer 2018 St. Michael’s What was your favourite course to teach this year? Two of them really stood out. One was an advanced research seminar called ‘The Church and the Earth.’ The course provides a historical survey of ‘Earth theories’ from the late Middle Ages to Pope Francis’s Laudato si’. The projects students put together for this class were ambitious: some are hands-on and involve the chemical analysis and testing of early modern recipes; other are more theoretical yet highly relevant to current research at the intersection of the humanities and environmental studies. And the other? The other course I’m very fond of is a Christianity and science fic- tion course, which has given me a chance to read and analyze great novels, films and role-playing games. It’s been a treat. What are you looking forward to next academic year? For example? There’s a lot going on.

One of the most exciting things we are introducing next year is the Boyle Seminar. Máirtín Coilféir and I are collaborating to introduce first-year students to both fields—medieval and Celtic studies—and Alison More help them understand how histories are discovered and constructed. Mediaeval Studies

New Emblem, Eternal Truths

With the introduction of a newly designed crest this year, St. Mike’s is celebrating its Basilian legacy of achievement, and inviting its alumni and students to join in celebrating the school’s next era. The new design honours the history of the College and affirms the continuity of the school’s traditions, which now extend over 165 years. The crest hearkens back to the emblem that first appeared on a yearbook cover in 1910, and presents a modern interpretation of the design that was formalized for the school’s centenary in 1952. The three words embracing the crest represent the motto of our founding fathers: “Teach me goodness, discipline and knowledge.” Gifts from our alumni and friends embrace our past, celebrate our future, advance our mission, and encourage students to live and learn according to this motto.

1910 1952 1979

The winged sword is a traditional 2017 symbol for St. Michael, for whom the College was named.

These three words are derived from the Basilian motto: “Teach me good- ness, discipline and knowledge.”
