He spoke and for the most part Brian Hodges on what he characterized as a generally “unhappy time have always been Ellen Hodnett for the media” in the digital age in which we live. In the course of his presentation, Coyne was blunt deserving of mistrust. Caleb Holden in his assessment of today’s media: “A lot of our woes are We get things wrong. Mimi Hollenberg self-inflicted. We ignored the web for far too long, and then We hunt in packs. Sally Holton when we got wise we put out lousy web pages. And when the iPad came along we put out lousy iPad apps. We have our biases. Thomas Homer-Dixon We haven’t adapted our methods of news collection and – Andrew Coyne Journalist Daniel Horn distribution to the new media.

At this April’s gathering, Professor Brock Millman of the History Department at Western University addressed “Canada, the Great War, and Social-Ethnic Conflict.” The theme was taken from the author’s study, Polarity, Patriotism and Dissent in Great War Canada, 1914-1919, which was just published by University of Toronto Press. Professor Millman explained that this period was scarcely a time of smooth solidarity and firm commitment to war. Rather, it was marked by dissent and repression at home.

Rose chose the passage from the Hebrew Scriptures, Proverbs 6: 20 that is depicted in the form of a ray of light in one of the panels:

My son, keep the commandment of thy father, and forsake not the teaching of thy mother; Bind them continually upon thy heart, tie them about thy neck.

Massey does best: bringing people together.

The College owes Rose Wolfe for many things, but it has a particular debt to her for the amazing individuals she first introduced to Massey and then turned them into participating and contributing citizens. She helped Massey fulfill its mandate to be a meeting place between town and gown.

And there was this about her, too. Her social work background

U of T Campus from the Bell Tower - photography by Anthony Luengo U of T Campus from the Bell Tower gave her a sweet sense of humility and at that last Seder she attended at her great age, she had people in stitches when she turned around and said to those within hearing: “What on earth am I still doing here?” We all knew. As one Junior Fellow at that Seder noted, Rose Wolfe had the “life force” with her. She was a Visitor for all seasons.

SUSTAINING MASSEY

THE MASSEY COLLEGE VISION of the inclusive pursuit of interdisciplinary intellectual and cultural opportunities in the humanities, sciences, and professions – enhancing the learning opportunity for all members of the Massey community – is at the spiritual and purpose-driven centre of our College’s mission. That mission, plus sustaining the qualities and conducive atmosphere of a hospitable nature that makes collegiate life interesting for all College members, is Job Number One here at Massey. Your College has had a remarkably active year, with many policy and cultural events, the usual galas, High Tables, chapel services, and unique Junior Fellow lectures, Quadrangle Book Club evenings, music evenings, barbeques, tea and sherry parties, seasonal celebrations, some special seminars, and so much else. New appliances, repaired installations, and thermal lining for House IV have also proceeded, along with a website modernization and upgrade initiative. Bursaries for Junior Fellows, research travel grants, and the Journalism Fellows program have also featured prominently in our expenditures. The good news is that Massey’s budget is in balance. The larger picture tells us, though, that the mix between revenues from all sources and expenditures remains tight. Financial support from the Massey College community, which ticked up modestly last year, always helps in keeping the College sustainable and heading in the right budgetary direction. As an independent graduate residential college at U of T, we receive no formulaic financial transfer from the University, unlike the other federated colleges. Junior Fellow fees, catering, summer rental income, annual donation campaigns, and yield from our modest endowments are our only dependable source of necessary operating funds. Your support during this calendar year makes a great difference, and is always truly and sincerely appreciated! Massey gives full tax receipts for all donations received. We hope we can count on your generosity and support as a strong Massey, now and always, is always the right answer.
