AN EVER-CHANGING CAMPUS by Michel Prévost University of Ottawa
AN EVER-CHANGING CAMPUS By Michel Prévost University of Ottawa Archives When Bytown College opened in 1848, under the warm, welcoming shadow of Ottawa’s Notre Dame Cathedral, who could have foretold that, by the beginning of the 19th century, the modest institution would grow into an 80-acre campus in the heart of Canada’s capital? It wasn’t until 1949 that the administration decided to permanently establish itself in Sandy Hill, finally giving up on the idea of moving to Ottawa’s suburbs. Following this decision, several buildings were constructed in the 1950s, such as Vanier Hall (1954) for Medicine and Simard Hall (1955) for the faculties of Arts, Law and Social Sciences, the Library School, and the central library. A science complex including Marion (1958), Vachon (1960) and Gendron (1960) was built on the University’s old playing field. In 1960, construction was completed on Sedes Sapientiae Centre (now Saint Paul University) to house the faculties of Philosophy, Theology and Canon Law. In fact, from 1951 to 1960, the University spent over $8,500,000 in building construction costs. At the end of 1960, President Henri Légaré, O.M.I., along with architect Jean-Serge Le Fort, presented an expansion plan that laid out 22 construction projects to be completed over the next 20 years at a cost of $31,500,000. In particular, this master plan provided for the construction of a new wing in the Faculty of Medicine building (Vanier Library, carried out in 1963); a law building; a student residence (Marchand Hall, completed in 1964); a sports centre; buildings for physics and mathematics, engineering, nursing, home economics, and fine arts; a convocation and performance hall; a student social centre; a field station for geology and biology; a psychosocial centre; a university hospital; a second wing for the Faculty of Arts to house the libraries; and a residence that could accommodate 1,000 male students and 200 female students1.

By Joanna Calder February 8, 2018, is the 70th anniversary of the Royal Canadian Air Force Flyers’ historic Olympic win. The hastily-assembled hockey team came from nowhere to defeat the world favourites at the 1948 Olympic Winter Games and bring home the gold medal. It was September 8, 1947, and Squadron Leader Alexander “Sandy” Watson, the Royal Canadian Air Force’s senior medical officer, was appalled. Earlier that year, the International Olympic Committee had announced that “amateur” status for Olympic athletes would be strictly enforced and that anyone who had received any kind of financial benefit from playing sports – even if it was a stipend (an allowance in lieu of a salary) rather than an actual salary – would not be eligible to compete. That meant that the winners of the Allan Cup, who were normally selected to represent Canada in the hockey competition, wouldn’t be able to play.

A jersey belonging to a member of this team will be on display in the Lobby of the Canadian War Museum starting today until March 16, 2014. Many of the RCAF Flyers were veterans of the Second World War, which had ended less than three years earlier. Formed at the last minute with 17 Air Force and ex-Air Force players, the team lost several exhibition games and was not expected to do well in the medal competitions. Defying the odds, the Flyers won six games in a row before registering a scoreless tie with Czechoslovakia, the team heavily favoured to win. In their final game, against the host Swiss team, 22-year-old goaltender Murray Dowey helped the Flyers to a 3–0 shutout win and a historic gold medal for Canada. http://ottawastart.com/story/22418.php 2/19/2014 Canadian War Museum displays hockey jersey from Canada’s legendary gold medal-win..
