Barry Graham Deirdre Baker Trinity Associate 2008 to 2010; sessional lecturer in the divinity program Trinity fellow since 2008; English prof, specializing in children’s literature

Talk about your role at Trin: It seems like, if you’re going to be a fellow, you should do more than sit on commit- tees. I would really like to interact with the students more. I talked to the head of the Trin English Society and she was really excited. She said she had no idea faculty were interested in that at all. Even if it’s meeting once a month and having a different faculty member bring a text, and sitting around and reading it and talking about it … it’s more of a relationship and a more informal setting. Students learn better in that environment.

Where were you before U of T? When we came back here [she and her husband, to Toronto from New Jersey], I needed to get a job of some sort but didn’t want to teach. So I worked at Indigo – which was really funny. For my mom it was entirely humiliating. There I was with a PhD working for $8 an hour. But I’m actually so glad I did it. Selling books to people for their kids was great.

I’m so evangelical about it.

Who Dunnit?

A mystery of a very Trinity nature arose in 1959 when a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II disappeared. A group of Trinity alumni visiting London had purchased and shipped a copy of the Pietro Annigoni painting as a gift to the College. Upon her arrival, Her Majesty was promptly placed above the mantel in the Junior Common Room. This spot, however, had been occupied for several years by a portrait of long-time professor and resident of the College, Prof. C.A. Ashley. With the arrival of the royal portrait, Ashley’s was relegated to a less prominent position on the west wall. One morning shortly after, College staff doing the morning rounds were surprised to find that someone had switched the positions of the paintings during the night: Ashley was back above the mantel. The staff returned the paintings to their appropriate spots, but the next morning, the one of Ashley had been mysteriously moved back to its former position. The battle raged on for months, until one day, Her Majesty had vanished completely. At first, College staff thought it was a student prank. But after a complete search of the buildings, it became clear the painting was gone. Known as a mild-mannered man, Ashley was never considered a suspect. However, his friends and student supporters had been very vocal about their displeasure at the displacement of the gentle professor’s likeness. When asked for comment on what could have happened to the Queen’s portrait, one Ashley defender mused: “They obviously haven’t looked in the ashes of the incinerator.”
