(University of Prince Edward Island Calendar, 1970-1971. UPEI Archives: LE3.P77USS ARCH 1970-71.) Foreword he decade of the 1960s stands out as a period of remarkable change Tand growth in Canadian higher education. Universities were being created and expanded. Significant new public investments were being directed to post-secondary education. The Canadian economy had experienced two decades of postwar expansion and prosperity. A group of young Canadians described by Quebec sociologist Jean- Francois Ricard as "the lyrical generation," those born in a spirit of freedom and optimism in the first decade following the Second World War, was arriving at university. In this climate of expansion, lyricism, and dynamic institutional development, no event is more remarkable than the creation of the University of Prince Edward Island. PEI's two post-secondary institutions, Prince of Wales College and St. Dunstan's University, were riding the wave of growth. In the space of just three years, from 1965-66 to 1968-69, faculty numbers at the two institutions doubled. Grade 11 and 12 students, historically an important component of the "college" student body, had been redirected to newly created high schools. The loyalties formed around PWC and SDU ran deep and largely reflected the sectarian traditions of the Island community, but these, too, were changing. ALAN MACEACHERN 5 It is rime, almost forty years after the establishment of the University of Prince Edward Island, to tell the story of its creation and early development. In Utopian U: The Founding of the University of Prince Edward bland, 1968-70, Alan MacEachern digs into the context, the politics, and the people of UPEI's founding. He provides a lucid and lively account of the events leading up to UPEI's creation, and of the multitude of steps required to make the new provincial university a reality. It is said in many traditional cultures that "paths are made by walking." The establishment and inaugural years of UPEI amply demonstrate this wisdom, as new pathways were beaten down by administration, faculty, students, staff, and a supportive community. From the perspective of today, the decision to create UPEI, through a fusion of Prince of Wales and St. Dunstan's, was brave and truly visionary. In 2005, UPEI has more than 4,000 full- and part-time students, a robust program of research and development, and rich relationships with the PEI community and with academic counterparts regionally, nationally, and internationally. We prize a commitment to teaching excellence and student success, inherited from our founding institutions and embraced through UPEI's early days. As Prince Edward Island forges its place in a knowledge-based world, UPEI is its prime instrument of and pathway to success. Institutions and societies must know and embrace their history. Without a wcll-filled-out understanding of UPEI's "founding," and a rich appreciation of the histories of SDU and PWC, we lack the capacity to know ourselves today, or to fully realize our future. UPEI and its entire community will be much the richer for Utopian U. We can take new pride in UPEI's accomplishments, including producing a historian of the calibre of Alan MacEachern (BA, 1988). A devoted group known as the UPEI Histories Roundtable has shepherded the writing and production of'Utopian U. The Roundtable, comprising Simon Lloyd (chair), Laurie Brinklow, Lawson Drake, UTOPIAN II Mel Gallant, Harry Love, Andy Robb, and Doug- Boylan, with editorial guidance from Edward MacDonald, has played a crucial role of initiative, oversight, and advice for this work, as well as Pets, Professors, and Politicians: lie Founding and Early Years of the Atlantic Veterinary College (Marian Bruce, 2004), and^? Century of Excellence: Prince of Wales College, 1860-1969 (Marian Bruce, 2005). We arc much in their debt, as we are to all who have contributed to the rich history of higher education on Prince Edward Island. H. Wade MacLauchlan UPEI President and Vice-Chancellor Founders' Day, September 8, 2005 ALAN MACEACHERN The Samuel Robertson Memorial Lecture PRINCE OF WALES COLLEGE CHARLOTTETOWN, P. C. I UNIVERSITY - 2000 By Professor Ronald J Biker Presidcnr - designare University ol Prince Edward Island March 31. 1969 Coverfor booklet containing Ronald Baker's lecture, "University - 2000." (UPFI Archives: Prince of Wales College — Lectures, The Samuel Robertson Memorial Lecture — Vertical File — Item 114) UTOPIAN U 1*' I 'was to be UPEI's coming-out party. On March 31, 1969, the JL _L newly appointed president of the new university, Ronald J. Baker, was to deliver the final Robertson Memorial Lecture at Prince of Wales College — "final" because the new institution was making Prince of Wales redundant. Having just arrived on Prince Edward Island and not wanting to offend Islanders by telling them what their new universitv would be like, Baker, an English professor, took a page from Jonathan Swift and Thomas More, and couched his meaning in allegorical terms. His speech, "Universitv — 2000," described having just returned bv time machine from the vear 2000, and a visit to Utopian Universitv, an excellent school of 1,500 to 2,000 students on an island somewhere off the east coast of North America/ (Expecting something more literal from the president's inaugural address, TIJC Guardian reported the talk "at times was baffling both in intent and content."') Baker told how the founders of "UU" had achieved what thev had. Because they did not have much money, they could not afford a large administration, so they gave faculty and students real power to make decisions. Because thev were on an island, they could treat it as a microcosm of society, economy, ecology, and polity, and so use it as the focus of research and teaching. And, most important of all, because what constitutes a Utopia itself changes, these Utopians built on the motto "Process not Stasis": rather than have preconceived ideals, they created a uni­ versitv where goals could be revised as well as reached. (7Zv Guard­ ian unfortunately printed the motto with a typo, rendering it the rather meaningless "Process not Stasts.") Living in the future, we know that UPEI is not really a Utopia today — though with some ^5,300 full-time students, it is also con­ siderably bigger, better-established, and more diverse in its range of programs than even its first president had foreseen. But Baker's 1 Sec "Universitv — 2000," "I'WC — Lectures, Samuel Robertson Memorial" vertical file, item [4, PF.I Collection, Robertson Library, UPE] [henceforth, "PE] Collection' '. 2 Guardian, April [, 11)69.

(Nexus: University ofPrince Edward Island Stu­ dent Union Yearbook, 1970.UPEI Archives: LE1P85N41970 ARCH 1970) vision for the university still resonates. His ingredients for the fledg­ ling university's success were ones he subsequently saw introduced, helping make the university what it is today. More than that, his speech reminds us that UPEI was born in an era when one could speak unself-consciously of a "utopian university." In 1969, universi­ ties were civilization's town squares, the focus of culture, of politics, of social change. You could be idealistic about a university — es- peciallv a new one, filled with possibility. Even though UPEI has changed considerably since 1969, coming into being when it did has meant there's idealism in its DNA. Just a year before Ronald Baker outlined his Utopia, Premier Alex B. Campbell had first announced to the Legislature his plans for creation of a single, publicly funded, Island university.

    '. c Dear Members, Under the Bylaws of the Federation, the National Executive is required to submit a written report to each national general meeting accounting for its activities and the activities of the Federation since the previous national general meeting. Amongst other.things, the Bylaws state that the Report is to clearly delineate "the disposition of all directives given the National Executive by the plenary of the previous general meeting." Unfortunately, due to a variety of factors and pressures, the National Executive did not have an opportunity to compile information on all of the previous general meeting's directives prior to the deadline for producing and translating the Report. On behalf of the National Executive, I apologize for this ommission.

  • The History of Higher Education in the Province of Prince Edward Island
    CCHA Study Sessions, 38(1971), 19-49 The History of Higher Education in the Province of Prince Edward Island by Sister Mary Olga McKENNA, S.C.H. Mount St. Vincent University, Halifax, Nova Scotia In a recent work entitled Changing Patterns of Higher Education in Canada edited by Robin S. Harris and published by the University of Toronto Press in 1966, Monsignor H. J. Somers introduces his treatise on the Atlantic Provinces with the following generalization: The history of education in these provinces is a fascinating story of geography, racial rivalry, politics, religion, and education. I have placed education last because man y t imes the other factors were the major influences in determining educational policy, or lack of policy. Normally the educational development has not been planned but has simply evolved in response to local circumstances. It is only within the past century that definite patterns have emerged and hardened into systems, whether at the elementary, secondary, or university level. The First World War and the great depression of the 1930’s did little to change the approach to education, except to make more meager the educational facilities, and more austere the lives of those who devoted themselves to th education of youth.1 The history of higher education in the Province of Prince Edward Island is no exception . The apparently radical changes which have been effected in the structure of post-secondary education in the Island Province over the past few years, when viewed from the historical perspective, may be seen as the result of an almost two-hundred-year history of attempts on the part of the government to provide a provincial institution of higher learning supported by public funds which would serve the needs of the Island people.

  • The Jean S. Lockerby Memorial Scholarship
    SCHOLARSHIPS AND AWARDS COMMITTEE REGISTRAR’S OFFICE 550 University Avenue, Charlottetown PE C1A 4P3 Telephone: (902) 566-0358 Fax: (902) 566-0795 The Jean S. Lockerby Memorial Scholarship DESCRIPTION These scholarships have been established by the Lockerby family in memory of their parents, Lloyd and Jean. Lloyd Lockerby passed away in February 2008 in Summerside, PEI. His death was preceded by that of his wife, Jean, in 1998. Lloyd and his wife Jean were partners in life, together raising three sons and operating a Shorthorn cattle operation and a third-generation fox farm in Hamilton, PEI. The high quality of foxes produced on the Lockerby ranch became recognized throughout PEI, Canada and abroad, and Lloyd himself became known as one of the most knowledgeable fox ranchers in the industry. Lloyd graduated from Prince of Wales College in 1933, and from MacDonald College, a constituent of McGill University, in 1938, being the recipient that year of the Governor General’s medal for top standing in his class. During the decades thereafter, he made an indelible mark in his regional community and in the broader community of Prince Edward Island. Jean was throughout her life a strong advocate of education at all levels. Having graduated from Prince of Wales College in 1930 with a first class teacher’s licence, she taught in several Island schools, including Summerside High School. She had a keen interest and provided leadership in community affairs, particularly in the areas of heritage and culture. In honour of Lloyd Lockerby’s deep commitment to community service and the agricultural community of Prince Edward Island, and Jean Lockerby’s desire to encourage, recognize and support students pursuing post-secondary education, and to contribute to the future well-being of the Island, these scholarships have been created in their memories.

In 1834 Government House was built with funds advanced through an issue of Treasury Notes to be repaid with monies raised for the purpose by an Assessment on Land. It cost, in the currency of the day, £3,142.17.3, and was intended to serve as a Vice-Regal residence for the Lieutenant Governors of the then British colony of Prince Edward Island. The architectural design of the house is Georgian, with echoes of the Palladian tradition, and was the work of Isaac Smith.
