Most of the research material exists in the 40-50 boxes in the Archives of the City of Victoria. The other main sources were the BC Provincial Archives and the Victoria Public Library. Numerous other sources were checked but yielded little. Throughout the hundred years, there were literally dozens of individual members who contributed to the recording of the story. Most are now unknown but a few stand out. HP (Pete) Johnson was the historian during the twenties and the thirties. Captain Thomas J. (Cappy) Goodlake, who was the Club Secretary for twenty years and then was elected President, wrote an abbreviated 60-year history of the Club starting in 1913. Dr.Carron Jameson (President 1966-67) was the historian for many years until his death. He was followed by Bedford Bates (assisted by Judge Blake Allan). Bedford Bates made an appeal to the Club for historical information. Lo and behold, he was invited by Eric Dowell (President 1970-71) to visit Dowell’s Transfer and Storage warehouse where, with the use off a forklift, they obtained a large case filled with memorabilia. At this time, Bedford’s wife had passed away so he was rattling around in a large empty house. Bedford took the material from Dowell’s and sorted it by decades in different rooms of the house. Over the years, the material was all indexed and turned over to the Victoria Archives. The last major Club historian was Frank Cappello who continued the indexing and archiving. This history is a summation of probably 50-60,000 pages of material. There are a few scattered years where the information is sketchy and there are a few individual presidential biographies which were not found in the city, however, there are no historical events that have been missed. There are a number of Club members who deserve thanks in the preparation of this history. In particular, Past President Ros Scott took the basic draft and turned into a format ready for publishing. Others include Presidents Murray Ramsbottom (proof reading), Don Jensen, and Terry Toone as well as Bedford Bates and Frank Cappello. Flynn Printing, which has supported the Club for more than two decades, printed the history. SE (Stu) McGowan President 2000-01 4 ROTARY INTERNATIONAL BEGINNINGS Paul Harris organized the first Rotary club in Chicago in 1905. The name ‘Rotary’ was derived from the practice of rotating meetings from one member’s place of business to another’s. This practice was changed when the size of the club became unwieldy and the luncheon meeting was initiated. By 1910, the existing 16 Rotary clubs linked to form the “National Association of Rotary Clubs”. In 1912, the name of the association was changed to the “International Association of Rotary Clubs”. During the same year, the first emblem embodying a gear wheel was adopted. In 1916, a Rotary endowment fund was established which was the forerunner of the Rotary International Foundation. In 1922, the name was changed again to “Rotary International”. In 1923, the present cogwheel (with 6 spokes, 24 cogs and a keyway) was adopted. In 1933, Chicago Rotarian Herbert Taylor formulated the “4-Way Test”. In 1942, at a Rotary conference in London, a vast educational and cultural organization was studied, which eventually resulted in UNESCO. In 1946, a graduate fellowship program was established in memory of Paul Harris. The 4 “Avenues of Service” were established in 1951. 1954 saw a new RI Headquarters building in Chicago. In 1962, ‘Interact ’was established (for youth at the secondary school level. A few years later in 1968, ‘rotoract’ was established (for 18-30 year olds). In 1985, RI established Polio Plus, a 20-year commitment to eradicate polio from the world. Ever since, this has been the highest priority for RI. The goal was to free the world of polio by the year 2005, Rotary’s 100 th anniversary. The present RI HQ building in Evanston, Ill was completed in 1987. A year later, approval was granted to admit qualified women into Rotary. 5 CLUB FORMATION In the early days of Rotary, it was considered unwise to attempt to organize clubs in communities of less than 25,000 people. Growth was slow for the first few years, but eventually the movement took hold on the Pacific Coast quickly resulting in the formation of – San Francisco in 1908, Los Angeles in 1909, Seattle in 1909 (#4), Portland and Tacoma in 1910 and Spokane in 1911. The Seattle Club organized the club in Vancouver in the spring of 1913 and during the same year the Vancouver and Seattle Clubs brought the idea to Victoria. Ernest L. Skeel of Seattle and James Giffen and WO Webster of Vancouver did the ground work. Skeel, a lawyer, went to one of his own profession, Frank Higgins, to promote the idea. Giffen and Webster canvassed the businessmen in Victoria and the idea of Rotary caught on rather quickly. The Club began with a number of informal gatherings in October 1913 of young businessmen who had heard of Rotary and were inclined to go further. Some of these men were Percy Abell, W.R. Dale, R.F. Fitzpatrick, John Hart, Alex Peden, W.P. Sweeney and, of course, Frank Higgins. It is noted that the Vancouver Club (#61) was chartered in March of 1913 and the Victoria Club was formed later in the same year as Club #90. The inaugural dinner was held at the Empress Hotel on November 15, 1913 with 41 charter members and 14 visitors (9 from Vancouver and 5 from Seattle). This date was considered as that of the formation of the Club. The dinner cost was $2.50 which included a 6-course meal and cigars. The average age was 37 and they were all on their toes to make Rotary work without the burden of a battalion of older members to keep them in their place. The Charter arrived from Chicago in due course dated January 1, 1914. Frank Higgins was elected as President. According to custom, the first president was re-elected for a second year, so Frank was president during the year s1914-15. Captain Thomas J. (Cappy) Goodlake was elected Secretary, a position he held for 20 years. Cappy was undoubtedly the spark plug behind the Club. His patience, excellent judgment and quiet sense of humour were of inestimable value to presidents, as all who served under his stewardship would testify. As might be expected, the major activities during the first year were Rotary education, acquaintance and classification talks by the members. 6 THE CHARTER MEMBERS – NOVEMBER 15, 1913 C.A.

  • The Canadian Cadet Movement and the Boy Scouts of Canada in the Twentieth Century
    “No Mere Child’s Play”: The Canadian Cadet Movement and the Boy Scouts of Canada in the Twentieth Century by Kevin Woodger A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto © Copyright by Kevin Woodger 2020 “No Mere Child’s Play”: The Canadian Cadet Movement and the Boy Scouts of Canada in the Twentieth Century Kevin Woodger Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto Abstract This dissertation examines the Canadian Cadet Movement and Boy Scouts Association of Canada, seeking to put Canada’s two largest uniformed youth movements for boys into sustained conversation. It does this in order to analyse the ways in which both movements sought to form masculine national and imperial subjects from their adolescent members. Between the end of the First World War and the late 1960s, the Cadets and Scouts shared a number of ideals that formed the basis of their similar, yet distinct, youth training programs. These ideals included loyalty and service, including military service, to the nation and Empire. The men that scouts and cadets were to grow up to become, as far as their adult leaders envisioned, would be disciplined and law-abiding citizens and workers, who would willingly and happily accept their place in Canadian society. However, these adult-led movements were not always successful in their shared mission of turning boys into their ideal-type of men. The active participation and complicity of their teenaged members, as peer leaders, disciplinary subjects, and as recipients of youth training, was central to their success.

    Canadian Official Historians and the Writing of the World Wars Tim Cook BA Hons (Trent), War Studies (RMC) This thesis is submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Humanities and Social Sciences UNSW@ADFA 2005 Acknowledgements Sir Winston Churchill described the act of writing a book as to surviving a long and debilitating illness. As with all illnesses, the afflicted are forced to rely heavily on many to see them through their suffering. Thanks must go to my joint supervisors, Dr. Jeffrey Grey and Dr. Steve Harris. Dr. Grey agreed to supervise the thesis having only met me briefly at a conference. With the unenviable task of working with a student more than 10,000 kilometres away, he was harassed by far too many lengthy emails emanating from Canada. He allowed me to carve out the thesis topic and research with little constraints, but eventually reined me in and helped tighten and cut down the thesis to an acceptable length. Closer to home, Dr. Harris has offered significant support over several years, leading back to my first book, to which he provided careful editorial and historical advice. He has supported a host of other historians over the last two decades, and is the finest public historian working in Canada. His expertise at balancing the trials of writing official history and managing ongoing crises at the Directorate of History and Heritage are a model for other historians in public institutions, and he took this dissertation on as one more burden. I am a far better historian for having known him.
