Message from the President

My fifth and last year as AlumniPresident has begun, so theAssociation will have a newspokesperson on 1 July 2003. We haveterm limits at Bishop’s, if not in ourgovernments in Ottawa or QuebecCity!

In a departure from tradition, theNational Committee will elect the nextPresident much earlier than usual, —4 September 2002 in Montreal —allowing for a gradual passing of thetorch.

I want to pay tribute to DougLloyd ’62, long time member of theCommittee, representative onCorporation, and great friend andsupporter of the University, whopassed away this spring. It was agenuine pleasure to have worked withDoug, and I benefitted so much fromhis counsel. We extend our deepestsympathies to his wife, Nancy, andthree children —all Bishop’sgraduates.

Jacquie Scott ’90 has resigned asVice President of the Association.

Jacquie and I go back a long way.Regular readers of this column (Himom), may remember that she wasonce a student of mine at Champlain. Iwant to thank Jacquie for her supportof the University and wish her all thebest as she ties the knot with fiancéPeter.

Partly as a result of informationgrads are sending for inclusion in theBishop’s Alumni Directory now beingcompiled, our e-mail directorynumbers have skyrocketed. Withapproximately 9,100 active alumni,we now have over 5,000 signed upand the numbers are growing daily.This venture has been a tremendoussuccess, and I encourage you tocontact Esther Barnett ’70 to add orupdate your listing.([email protected])

We are preparing for a very busyand fun fall beginning with thepresentation of the Alumnus of theYear Award in Toronto on 26September 2002 (this event will alsoserve as a kickoff to the AnnualCampaign), with receptions plannedfor other cities later the same month.

Homecoming on 28 September2002, besides the usual horseplay anda football game, will feature a reunionof the Classes of ’75-’79.

Hope to see many of you at theseand other activities.

As if fighting fires in real life isn’t challenging enough,Stirling McNeil ’93 and Ottawa firefighters haveproven themselves world champions in firefighting

competitions.Developed as a showcase for firefighter fitness, the

competitions simulate the physical demands of real lifefirefighting. Contestants must complete a number of gruellingtasks in the shortest time possible. The accomplishments ofStirling and the team are impressive:

• Summer 1994: Kanata became the first Canadian team tocompete in the “Combat Challenge” firefightingcompetition in Montecelio, NY. They placed first at thisregional event.

• Fall 1994: Competed at the World Championships for firsttime. The Kanata team finished 3rd, and Stirling placed8th as an individual.

• 1997: Kanata team finished 3rd at the WorldChampionships.

• 2000: The newly amalgamated City of Ottawa team(including Kanata) won the World Championship (beatingover 220 other teams) and set a new world record. Stirlingplaced 3rd as an individual.

• 2001: Team finished 4th in the world. Stirling placed 3rdin the world.

As part of the team’s winnings, Ottawa received a giftcertificate for an infrared camera that can detect a body in asmoke-filled room. This year the team is taking a year off. Nowonder: they train six days a week, six or seven months a year,and have to do some training in the off-season to keep in shape.“The competitions help me as a firefighter,” claims Stirling.“They keep me mentally sharp and in good physical shape.”

Stirling always knew he wanted an outdoor job, and aftergraduation he wrote the firefighter exams. He became avolunteer firefighter in Kanata in fall 1993 and joined the forcefull-time in 1997. “I wouldn’t trade this job for anything. I loveit. It offers instant gratification — you get to see how you havehelped people when you put out a fire or respond to a medicalemergency.” He also enjoys the shift work. “Although the shiftsare long, you are off for a long time. That way I can spendplenty of time with my kids.”

4 • September 2002 Bishop’s University News

Early this summer, I participated inan afternoon of competitive tenniswith 30 of us from the Bishop’s

community. The players came from closeand far, including Dr. Hugh Scott(Bishop’s Principal from 1986-95, DCL2000), who drove from Montreal, takinga day off from his duties as executivedirector of the McGill University HealthCentre.

It was a lovely day, and the Bishop’scampus was showing off magnificentlyin the sun. Could there be a morebeautiful setting in the country, betweentwo rivers, surrounded by rolling farmland, on the fringes of agolf course, decorated with gothic, brick buildings? It’s easy tounderstand why students don’t want to leave.

Yet what got them to Bishop’s wasn’t necessarily the lovelysetting or the friendliness of the place or thegolf course. Those became fringe benefitslater in the Bishop’s Experience. No, inmany cases young people from across thecountry came to Bishop’s because of itsscholarship program that has grownimpressively in the last five years.

The figures are startling. Four years ago187 students benefited from scholarships.Today that number has grown to 340-plus,an increase of more than 80 percent. Thetotal amount devoted to scholarships in 1997-98 was about$300,000; now it is close to $1,000,000. We have stretched theresources of the Bishop’s Foundation.

The reaction of the students makes it all worthwhile. “I wasattracted to this school because it was billed as a small, liberalarts, undergraduate institution. My decision was clinched by theoffer of the generous Mills Scholarship in the Humanities,” saidCatherine Aikman. Added Pierre-André Arel: “I am proud of

going to Bishop’s, and it is people like you (Bishop’sbenefactors) who foster such a sense of belonging to ouruniversity.”

Who are the benefactors? There are dozens, includingindividuals and families with strong Bishop’s ties such as theGriffin Family (Scott ’60, DCL ’02, Ian ’63, Peter ’70, Tim ’71,Anthony and Kathleen, Tessa ’87, Peter Lamantia ’87, Alastair’90, Willa ’93, Diana ’68, Anna Potvin ’96, Tom and NadineWatson), Ron ’66 and Shelly Kaulbach, S.R. “Bud” McMorran(Bud ’60 is head of the Bishop’s Foundation), Jean Crépeau, astrong supporter of Bishop’s from the Sherbrooke area, and theBorough of Lennoxville. And there is Hugh Scott, who hasfunded an award in honour of his mother.

Then there is Janyne Hodder, our current Principal andVice-Chancellor, who showed much imagination and generosityin establishing a scholarship earlier this year. The idea beganwhen she was asked to sit on the transition committee thatsteered the merger of Sherbrooke with the surrounding

municipalities. The compensation for thoselong hours of work totaled about $40,000,which she turned over to the Bishop'sFoundation to create a scholarship in thename of her husband, Gary Mullins.

Finally, there is the remarkable story ofEd and Jackie Cannon. They run golftournaments in Toronto and Lennoxville everyyear which raise funds that benefit Bishop’s inmemory of their son, Jeff Cannon ’89, whodied tragically in a car accident. The total in

this memorial fund now exceeds $60,000, and the Torontotournament held June 21 last raised $9,500 alone.

These are generous gifts, given by energetic and creativepeople who love Bishop’s. And they represent a challenge to therest of us to open our pockets and unlock our imaginations. Thebeneficiaries are young people who are pursuing highereducation. Tennis anyone?

Remembrance of Alumni Receptions Past

(The following is an e-mail sent to Matt McBrine, AlumniRelations Coordinator, in response to an invitation to an alumnireception in Halifax.)

I recall organizing two alumni events in Halifax. The first,in the late 1950s, featured two bishops and six or seven othersouls (with their spouses). Most were clergy, although therewere two, perhaps three others in more profane kinds of work(journalism, in my case). Bishop Waterman transported us backto the Bishop’s of the early years of the First World War’s. Itwas a bittersweet reverie that included his last walk in the hillsabout Lennoxville before he left to tend to battle. The collegesetting was familiar; the most modern building in his time wasstill the most modern in mine.

The second was a 1960s wingding in our home, with abouttwice the number of guests and an inexhaustible liquor supply.

The guests were the late Ogden Glass, then Principal, and thelate Ray Almond, the alumni secretary and a wonderful friendand onetime neighbour. Reverend Ronald Reeve, now also gone,turned out to be a mean jazz pianist, and alumni affairs became,well, an affair to be remembered fondly 40 years hence. (Raysomehow infected his arm, and I took him to my wife’sobstretrician the next morning for repairs, our GP being onholiday. I can still see and hear Ray’s delight.)Footnote: The bishops in question were Rt. Rev. HaroldWaterman, Bishop of Nova Scotia, and Rt. Rev. William Davis,Bishop Coadjutor of Nova Scotia. (coadjutor is Anglican jargonfor a bishop with an automatic right of succession.) In this case,a very short bishop succeeded a very tall one. They were knownas the Big and Little Bishops, both good.

The Concubine’s Children tells the story ofher maternal grandmother and The Girl in the Picture is thestory of one of the most recognized photographs of theVietnam War.

Scott Griffin ’60 founded the Griffin Trust for Excellencein Poetry in 2000 to raise awareness of the role of poetry insociety’s cultural life. The trust awards two prizes of $40,000annually each for books of poetry published in Canada and inEnglish internationally.

Milton Tectonidis ’85 has worked with Médecins sansfrontières in Asia, Africa and Mexico and is now working inEthiopia, helping a local organization with primary health careand literacy training for a nomad people. Médecins sansfrontières received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1999 for itshumanitarian work in emergency medical relief throughout theworld.

The following professors were named Professors Emeriti:Charlie Carman, Professor Emeritus of Computer ScienceDavid Sorensen, Professor Emeritus of Fine ArtsHewson Hickie, Professor Emeritus of Chemistry

(l-r): Scott Griffin’60, MiltonTectonidis ’85,Janyne M. Hodder,Principal, Denise Chong, Alex K. Paterson’52, DCL ’74,Chancellor.

Dr. Milton Tectonidis gave the Convocation address. Theinformation about the desperate situations he confronted inRwanda, Ethiopia, DRC, Angola, Sierra Leone and othercountries took some time to describe, so Dr. Tectonidis didnot have an opportunity to answer the question, “What canwe do to help?” Since Convocation, many people have askedme this question and I received two responses from Dr.Tectonidis and his colleagues:

As Médecins sans frontières provides emergency publichealthcare, including mass vaccination campaigns,distribution of drugs and supplies and medical assistance ofall kinds, it is always in need of funds to carry out itshumanitarian assistance. MSF is always in need of doctorsand medical professionals interested in work overseas. It alsoneeds volunteers in Canada to arrange public speakingengagements for a pool of returning field volunteers, and tohelp organize fund-raising events.

Anyone interested in volunteering can apply through thewebsite www.msf.ca and donations can be pledged throughthe website or mailed to Médecins Sans Frontières, 342Sherbrooke St. East, Suite 2, Montreal, Quebec H2X lE6 OR402-720 Spadina Ave., Toronto, Ontario M5S 2T9.

Each year, for the past ten years, students and staff ofBishop’s University and Champlain Regional Collegesponsor one student refugee a year — young people

forced to leave their homelands who wish to continue theireducation (and their lives) in security. After one year, therefugees are expected to support themselves.

Sponsorship costs approximately $12,000-$15,000 a year.Every Bishop’s student contributes $2.50 per semester to theproject as part of their student fees, and the University waivestuition fees and provides a room in residence and a meal plan.Applications for sponsorship are supplied by the WorldUniversity Service of Canada (WUSC — our Principal, JanyneHodder, is Chair of the Board of Directors) and are reviewed

by the Refugee Student Sponsorship Committee.At Convocation 2002, Fode Mansaray (sponsored in

1999-2000) graduated with a B.B.A. Zaheer Bawar(sponsored in 2000-2001) is the recipient of The George H.Tomlinson Memorial Scholarship in Science and is on theAcademic Honour Roll. Jean Claude Majyambere (currentsponsored student) is also on the Academic Honour Roll and isthe recipient of The Dorothy & Alan Williams Scholarship forthe most improved first year business student.

The Williams School of Business & Economics is pleasedto announce the creation of a Co-operative EducationProgramme. The co-op option will be available to

students in all three programmes currently offered (B.B.A.,B.A. Major Business, and B.A. Major Economics).

The new programme combines a student’s academicprogramme with integrated work experiences through full-time work terms and regular academic sessions. Students havethe opportunity to blend theory and practice and to gainrelevant work experience. Each co-op work term is fourmonths in length and will be a three credit course. Thesecourse credits are in addition to their regular degreeprogramme requirements. Students in a 90 credit programmewill be required to complete two work terms. Those in the120 credit programme will complete three. Admission will belimited and competitive. The first work terms will begin in2003.

The co-op will increase the benefits and opportunities forour business students and enhance the already excellentreputation of the school and Bishop’s. Participating employers

will have access to the best students in our school. The initial challenge is to build and maintain a strong and

diversified base of employers to provide the work placements.We hope to build a nationwide network of employers in abroad base of industries.

The co-op programme provides an opportunity for alumnito say thanks for their Bishop’s experience and to contributeto our current students’ experience by mentoring the nextgeneration of graduates. To be successful, the programmeneeds the support of Bishop’s alumni and friends. If you wantto get involved in the programme or would like moreinformation, contact:

Throughout its almost 160 year history,Bishop’s has been the victim of a numberof devasting fires. Luckily, no one was

injured in the disasters.

1874: Mr. McPhee, who spotted the fire rodeon horseback to Sherbrooke for thesteam fire engine, but it arrived too lateto do more than assist in saving theadjacent buildings. The school buildingand all its contents were destroyed.

1876: When fire broke out shortly aftermidnight, faculty and servants organizedbucket brigades to try to contain theflames. One of the staff ran to therailway station in Lennoxville totelegraph for the Sherbrooke fire engine,which arrived quickly and preventedfurther damage. The library wasgutted, and the students lost all theirpossessions.

1891: Fire broke out in the afternoon whenthe dormitories were empty.Professors, students and villagerstried to quell the flames. Studentsdashed into their rooms to save theirpersonal effects and Principal Adamscried unashamedly in thequadrangle. By the time theSherbooke Fire Brigade arrived, thefirefighters concentrated on savingthe original college building as firerepeatedly broke out on the roof. TheBishop Williams Wing, erected theyear before, was completelydestroyed as was the grammarschool. Only the walls of the chapelremained, but the original collegebuilding was saved. After the fire, there was a good dealof looting.

1917: Fire broke out in the room beneath the library from theexplosion of an electric torch. It was put out before theSherbrooke brigade arrived.

1929: Fire damaged the gymnasium, located in the rear of OldArts (McGreer) and slightly away from the otherbuildings.

1944: The rink, a wooden structure, was destroyed.

1962: St. Mark’s Chapel and the two-manual electro-pneumatic organ were damaged. Students and both theLennoxville and Sherbrooke fire departments worked toput out the fire. The interior of the Chapel did not burn.

Dr. Michael Lustigman’spassion for sociology iscontagious. This is in

part due to his ability toclearly communicate classmaterial and his willingness toconstantly monitor students’responses to ensure everyoneunderstands. However, Dr.Lustigman’s success is due tomore than an exceptional teachingstyle: it is the result of arare capacity forempathy towardsothers. In other words,he teaches by example.When asked what they will take with them after havingattended his courses, students say they will remember to thinkcritically about the social

injustices in the world and they will never forget about “thelittle guy.”

Although highly demanding of his students, Dr.Lustigman is always available to them to offer assistance. Hisstudents confess he finds a way to make them want to workharder and learn more: they just don’t want to let him down.Dr. Lustigman is also praised for displaying genuine concernfor students’ future endeavours. He understands the anxietystudents often feel about their post-graduation decisions andwillingly offers guidance with graduate school and careerchoices.

Described by his students as a passionate and eccentricprofessor, Dr. Lustigman challenges his students to think forthemselves and reach their own conclusions. The mainconclusion they all agree on is that this respectful and caringgentleman is an outstanding professor, well deserving of thisyear’s teaching award.

Faculty Profile

Five Long-serving Faculty Retire

Bob came to Bishop’s in 1986, a Montrealer who hadtravelled the world before coming to Lennoxville,having held academic appointments at The American

University in Beirut, Memorial University and the University ofToronto. Though Bob left in 1999 to take up the duties of Deanof Arts and Sciences at the fledgling American University ofSharjah in the United Arab Emirates, he was still a member ofour faculty. Bob has now just retired from Bishop’s.

Bob was, with Jean-Luc Grégoire who retired last year, atthe heart of the University’s successful efforts to adapt to thedifficult years during which we lost nearly 25% of our publicfunding as a result of the Québec government’s efforts tobalance its budget. When I arrived in 1995, Bob was the Deanof the Division of Natural Sciences and Mathematics. In 1996,Bob assumed the role of Acting Vice-Principal; he wasappointed Vice-Principal one year later.

Bob Cook is a stellar administrator and his work,particularly on the Senate Planning Committee, was critical toour ability to balance the needs of our academic programmeswith the imperatives of our financial means. He is anoutstanding negotiator and problem-solver. He successfullynegotiated faculty contracts, remaining both steadfast and open-minded.

Dr. Andy Stritch, a close colleague, particularly on theSenate Planning Committee, remembers working with him:

“Bob was a remarkable administrator and a great colleague.He was always a calm voice of reason and diplomacy, andhelped to bring Bishop’s through a difficult and turbulentperiod in its history. His hard work, openness and sense of

humour made a bumpy administrative path considerablysmoother. ”Many of us will remember these qualities, along with his

unfailing courtesy and good humour, his commitment tostudents and good teaching, his hospitality and the way he andWadad hosted great Super Bowl parties.

What stands out the most for me is that Bob was great funto work with; he had ideas, he was creative and experimental.Bob could think of ten ways to meet a goal, could design fiftypaths to a certain end and nothing ever could deter him. He wasalways imagining what ought to be and how we might get there,and Jean-Luc was always figuring out how much it would costus. But between the two of them, we found new solutions to ourdifficulties: we recruited new students and revamped enrolmentpractices, we renewed the academic planning process, wesigned honourable collective agreements and we navigatedstormy waters to a safer port — and we balanced our budget!

Bishop’s owes a great deal to the faculty, staff, alumni, andstudents who made this possible, but it also owes a great deal toBob Cook who had the integrity, the patience and the skill toguide change and build a better Bishop’s.

Since he is now helping to build a brand-new university,we know his talents are being put to good use. We wish him andhis wife, Wadad, the very best and offer them our warmestwelcome should they ever be back our way.

Faculty Retirements (cont’d))

After 21 years at the School ofEducation, Carol Mooney retiresthis spring as Director of

Practice Teaching. During this time,Carol has done much to shape anddefine the practical elements of theTeacher Education programme atBishop’s. Among her manycontributions to this programme werethe introduction of inclusive educationfor students with special needs and thehighly successful CAST seminars, which bring associate andstudent teachers together to prepare for the pratica.

Carol has a long association with Bishop’s, havingcompleted her B.Sc. in Chemistry and Mathematics in 1968.She qualified as a teacher at MacDonald College and beganteaching with the Eastern Townships School Board in specialeducation. In 1981 she started working part-time at Bishop’sSchool of Education and became the full-time Director ofPractice Teaching in 1992. She completed an MA in Educationat Bishop’s the same year. In addition to placing students inschools, Carol has taught a variety of classes, from courses onworking with students with special needs in the regularclassroom to introductory courses on the teaching profession.For several years she also found time to run the Summer Schoolfor Teachers.

The Teacher Education programme at Bishop’s has growntremendously over the last twenty years. From a one-yeardiploma with 12-15 students, it has now become a four-yearprogramme leading to two degrees, a B.A. or B.Sc. and B.Ed.

This past year Carol placed over 200 students in schools forpractica lasting from half a day to thirteen weeks. Carol takes avery personal approach to this process, attempting to make agood match of associate teachers with students. She has alwaystaken the time to get to know all of the students so that she isable to place them in a school where they will be able to dotheir best. She has made time to help students prepare for theprofession in the way they most needed it, whether it wasadvice on how to dress, to project one’s voice or to survivestaffroom politics.

Carol will be greatly missed. Her legacy lives on, in thestrong and successful programmes of the School of Education,and in the former students who are now teaching in the schoolsof the Eastern Townships and across the province. We have alllearned from her words and her example. In her quiet butdetermined way Carol was able to convince us all to strive to doour best.

Carol is looking forward to an active retirement of golfing,gardening, taking courses, travel, and spending time with hergranddaughter, Claudia. She plans to get involved in teachereducation abroad through international exchange programmesfor teachers.

The Mooney family has generously created the Carol andMichael Mooney Bursary to help students in financial needcover the costs of their final internship practicum. For moreinformation about this fund, please contact Pam McPhail atBishop’s: [email protected].

Ian Gaskell

In 1983 an energetic assistant professor arrived on campuscharged with a mandate to reorganize and revitalize theoperation of Centennial Theatre and to teach the technical

theatre courses in the Drama programme. Dr. Ian Gaskellofficially retires from Bishop’s this year.

As Director of Centennial Theatre facilities, Ian’s impactwas both immediate and thorough. In a few short years he wasresponsible for a substantial facility upgrade (1986) and a majorconstruction and renovation (the new lobby and administrationwing, 1991). Ian also brought his technical expertise to therealization of the Bandeen Hall concert space.

Perhaps Ian’s proudest achievement was the construction ofthe Studio Theatre in 1989 as a performance space for theDrama Department. This facility has contributed substantially tothe 150% increase in drama enrolment since 1983.

Administratively, Ian’s reforms were of great effect.Centennial is a much busier place than it was 20 years ago, thenumber of performances and revenues are significantly higherand the operation much smoother. Another of Ian’s innovationswas the institution of the theatre assistant’s program.Centennial’s present reputation in performing arts circles as a

thoroughly professional operation is in no small measure due toIan.

Ian is also pre-eminently an educator: as a teacher, director,designer and technician he infused his students (and employees)with both a knowledge of the field and a passion for it.

Looking for new challenges, Ian took a leave of absence in1997 to accept a position as head of the theatre department atthe University of the South Pacific in Suva, Fiji to create agraduate program and develop (yet another) performance space.Ian and his wife, Carol, have remained in Fiji, except for theodd hiatus during coups d’etat.

While Ian’s physical legacy at Bishop’s — a flourishingtheatre operation and a wonderful and flexible performancespace for the drama department — is impressive, equallymemorable are his qualities as a stimulating colleague andinspiring educator. Ian was mentor and friend to a generation ofstudents.

14 • September 2002 Bishop’s University News

The retirement of Fakhari Siddiquicloses an academic career of 34years, remarkable in its impact not

only on the teaching of Economics buton all aspects of the university. Fakharipossessed an irresistible combination offorce and personal charm which, alliedwith a deep commitment to candour andcritical debate, made him one of themost effective members of this smallcommunity; he was a powerful advocateof faculty rights, he was an insistent voice for economicefficiency and, above all, he was a fine teacher.

Fakhari, born in Peshawar, an independent outpost ofPakistan renowned for its warriors, was educated at theAmerican University of Beirut and McGill University. In 1968he was appointed to the Department of Economics at Bishop’sand simultaneously joined campus life as a Dean of Residence,naturally excelling in a role which at the time was important tothe social and educational goals of the university.

Later, during the Learning for Life Capital Campaign, hewas instrumental in securing support for the establishment oncampus of the Cormier Centre for Economics, becoming itsfounding Director. There followed a series of high-profileconferences at Bishop’s, organized by Fakhari and bringing tothe University scholars of international repute to discuss thecritical issues of the time, including his good friend, NobelLaureate Robert Mundell.

Fakhari has played an unusually prominent part in thegovernance of the university. Apart from his innumerablechairmanships of the Department of Economics, he has beenChair and Dean of the Division of Social Sciences, he hasrepresented faculty on Senate for several years in succession

and he has sat perhaps more frequently than any other memberof faculty on the Executive Committee of Corporation. He hasbeen an almost permanent President of the Faculty Council andof the Faculty Club just as often. And throughout his career hehas both served and supported the Faculty Association withgreat effect. All these institutions received and benefitted fromFakhari’s frank and sometimes hard-hitting counsel.

Off campus, the family household of Fakhari and Norma,his wife, became synonymous with hospitality. Local andinternational students, new and old faculty, administrators,friends of Bishop’s — all were invited to their splendid dinners.Fakhari himself liked to cook and could put together a deliciouscurry at a moment’s notice.

Fakhari, however, will best be remembered for histeaching. For decades of students he was a dedicated andpopular professor who set the highest standards and demandedhard work. Year after year his students return to Bishop’s torenew contact with Fakhari; many others are actually here at theUniversity — in the administration, on Corporation, eventeaching.

With the departure of Fakhari Siddiqui, Bishop’s loses afigure who has, by his own values and culture, enrichedimmeasurably those of the University. His forthrightness, hissense of honour, his conviviality will be sorely missed. He wasand regarded himself as an economist. Can one ever forget hisfavourite refrain: “It’s just a matter of simple economics.”

Fakhari leaves to take on his own new and challengingproject, the problem of education and population in his nativePakistan. We wish him and Norma every success, and all ourthanks and affection go with them for their immensecontribution to the Bishop’s community.

Professor John Oldland and his wife,Alice, joined the Bishop’scommunity in 1984. Prior to

joining the Bishop’s faculty, Johnenjoyed a very successful career as theDirector of Strategic Planning for theprestigious advertising firm, J. WalterThompson. This experience provedinvaluable as he launched himself intothe role of Professor of StrategicManagement as well as teachingAdvertising and later Entrepreneurship.

Professor Oldland came to Bishop’s with a fine academicpedigree. He completed his B.A. in History at Queen’s College,Oxford University where he was an Exhibitioner Scholarshiprecipient. John then moved to Canada where he worked invarious capacities for Procter & Gamble after pursuing hisMBA at Indiana University. Once again John had the distinctionof receiving the English Speaking Union Scholarship at Indiana.

John’s fourteen-year sojourn at J. Walter Thompson washighlighted by various promotions including the top position asa member of the Board of Directors.

John, his very creative wife Alice, and their three sons(Christopher, Nicholas and Jeremy) then escaped from thehustle and bustle of Toronto to the more civilized life of theEastern Townships, where they immediately became majorcontributors to life at Bishop’s University and North Hatley.John sat on several university committees including Senate andnumerous Senate sub-committees including the ExecutiveCommittee. He also served as Department Chair and wasinstrumental in establishing the Dobson-LagasséEntrepreneurship Centre.

Both John and Alice contributed further by establishing avery successful novelty gift business based on Alice’sextraordinary creative talents. Their Hatley business (now runby their sons) has been a wonderful atmosphere for countlessBishop’s University students to gain experience and to launchtheir own careers.

Never one to rest on his laurels, John was a consistentcontributor to the pursuit of knowledge. His first book, TheWhole Pie, was an engaging look at contemporary marketingissues that was grounded in real business cases. John haspublications in several important journals and given numerouspapers at well-known international conferences. ProfessorOldland also contributed over one hundred articles to theprestigious Marketing magazine.

For the last few years Professor Oldland has been pursuinghis doctorate at Royal Holloway College at London University.Perhaps not surprisingly, John is combining all of his academicloves (history, the textile industry and business) by centering hisresearch topic on Medieval Business History of the Textile

Industry and Business Life (1250-1550). Professor John Oldland will be a hard act to follow. He has

made a significant academic, administrative and teachingcontribution during his tenure at Bishop’s. His cooperative andoptimistic approach to life, students and colleagues will bemissed. Fortunately, he and Alice will be maintaining a closelink to Bishop’s as they intend to spend a significant amount oftime in North Hatley. We wish them both well, in what willundoubtedly be another exciting phase in their very full lives.

Dr. Masters was head of thehistory department at Bishop’sfrom 1944-1966. Like all faculty

at Bishop’s at the time, Dr. Masterstaught a wide variety of courses.Canadian history was his specialty, butthe history of thought (particularlyChristian thought) was a derivativeinterest. Among his advanced seminarcourses, the history of 18th centurythought was one of the most stimulating.

Throughout his career and into hislate 80s, Dr. Masters conducted active

historical research, resulting in a lengthylist of books. His studies of a trunk fullof letters between the first Principal ofBishop’s and the Anglican Bishop ofQuebec (his father-in-law) resulted inTen Rings on the Oak, co-authored withMarjorie Masters and published byBishop’s University in 1987. Hepublished books on Canadian economichistory, politics and thought, ending withJohn Henry Cody: an Outstanding Life(Dundurn Press 1995). His best knownbook is The Winnipeg General Strike

(University of Toronto Pres, 1950).Dr. Masters’ sense of humour was

well known, particularly one spooflecture. Purporting to deal with Canadianliterary history, the lecture beganseriously with stirring examples ofCanadian narrative poetry. Soon Dr.Masters turned his attention to the“Saskatchewan poetess Sarah Binks”(based on Sarah Binks published in1947). Typically a few earnest studentscontinued to take notes while the restrocked with laughter as the poems

degenerated from bad to worst. Dr.Masters gave this lecture many timesover the years, often on request. OneApril fools’ day, when all chairs in thelecture room had been turned backwards,he entered from the back and deliveredhis Binks lecture.

One of the benefits of a smalluniversity community was theopportunity for socializing betweenfaculty and students. In the early yearsthe History Club, founded by DCM, metmonthly at the Masters’ home oncampus. Copious refreshments followed

each meeting and the Masters childrensoon decided fancy food was for the“students,” not for them. The Mastersalso entertained students for Biblestudies on Sunday evening and hostedsome large parties, often just for fun.

Dr. Masters was deeply involved inbroad-based programmes. He organizedseveral “Canada in World Affairs”seminars at Bishop’s during the early1960s with many distinguished speakers.These attracted large audiences from thegeneral community. During his last yearat Bishop’s he wrote the script (later

published) for the CBC radio series “TheComing of Age.”

In 1966 Dr. Masters left for newchallenges at the University of Guelphand retired in 1974. Many of his studentswent on to influential positions ineducation, journalism, politics, the law,and the Church. Dr. Masters is survivedby his wife Marjorie, five children andten grandchildren, including Erice WhateCantelon ’00.

On 21 May 2002, the Bishop’scommunity lost a loyal anddevoted friend. Doug Lloyd

’62, who died of cancer at the age of61, will be sadly missed by everyonewho had the privilege of knowing him.

Doug’s contributions to Bishop’swere huge. As a student, he wasPresident of Dramatics, a member ofthe Students’ Executive Council andChief Brother of the Brotherhood. Asan alumnus, he was a member of theExecutive Committee of Corporation (1979-89), the HumanResources Committee and President of the National Committeeof the Alumni Association (1980-83). He was awarded theAlumnus of the Year Award in 1989 and the University ServiceAward in 1992.

After graduation, Doug supplemented his knowledge in thehumanities (English and Philosophy) with business acumen,earning an M.B.A. at the University of Western Ontario in1964. In 1972, he joined the Sun Life Assurance Company andfor many years was the manager of the successful downtownMaisonneuve branch until he retired. His close friend andbusiness Partner at Sun Life, Clifford MacLean ’62, recalls withfondness the many years they worked together. Cliff remarkedon Doug’s optimism: “Doug Lloyd was always upbeat andpositive about whatever goal he chose for himself. He neverapproached anything, in my experience, with less than 100%enthusiasm for the task once he had decided on his course ofaction.” Mutual trust and respect between Doug and Cliffbecame the signature of their success.

The fundamental value that ran throughout Doug’s life wasthat family came first. Nancy Tees ’63 and his children werealways the center and joy of Doug’s life. This was never moreapparent than at the funeral in Beaconsfield. While it was a sadoccasion, it was also a beautiful experience because of thewonderful contributions of his three children, all of whom, of

course, are Bishop’s graduates: Stephen ’89, Jennifer ’92 andCarolyn ’96. (Nancy’s brother is also an alumnus: Doug Tees’65).

Doug had a terrific sense of humour — he was a prankster“par excellence.” A litany of practical jokes orchestrated byDoug Lloyd is still being uncovered some 40 years later.Among others, as an undergraduate he had the Principal’s carput up for sale at an outrageously low price on a radio phone-inshow.

Bark Lake, a Laurentian lake where Doug and his familyvacationed for close to 60 years, was Doug’s favourite place.For the last eight years of his life, he was Mayor of the Town ofBarkmere. His three grandchildren, Clara, 3, Patrick, 3 andAlexandre, 2, were just beginning to enjoy some special timeswith him at the lake.

Doug was a good athlete and particularly excelled atcurling. He represented Quebec in the National School-BoyChampionships prior to university. At Bishop’s he organized thefirst curling team and skipped it to numerous victories in thesurrounding bonspiels. Laterally he curled at the Pointe ClaireCurling Club in Montreal. At PCCC, he was on the Board ofDirectors and won the Club Championship in 1990, a feat thatwas classified as exceptional by his peers considering he neverpracticed, played only once a week and was competing againstyounger curlers.

Doug was the consummate “people person.” His clientsloved and trusted him, and he had a huge network of friendsand acquaintances. He had the gift for reaching out to people,uncovering their best qualities and making them feel good aboutthemselves.

We are left with the wonderful memories of the good timeswe shared with this exceptional man. Our lives have beenenriched in being his friend. Doug, we will miss you. God bless.
