PRINCIPAL’S CORNeR
Trish Fulton, PhD
Dr. Trish Fulton has been appointed
Interim Principal of Huron University
College for the period October 1, 2010 to
June 30, 2011. She succeeds Dr. Ramona
Lumpkin who became President and
Vice-Chancellor of Mount Saint Vincent
University on October 1. A Selection
Committee will appoint a new Principal
to take office beginning July 1, 2011.
Dr. Fulton, who joined Huron as
Assistant Professor of Economics in 1977,
brings a wide variety of teaching and
administrative experience and leadership
to the position of Principal. From 1999
to 2009 she served two five-year terms as
Dean of Arts and Social Science and from
1997-99 she chaired the Department of
Economics.
Principal Fulton`s report to alumni
and friends of the College follows.
Since I took office on October 1, I have
spent fruitful and engaging time with
faculty and staff, students and alumni
and friends of the College and want to
let you know some of the activities that
have taken place.
The Huron Student Council and
a very energetic Soph committee
welcomed new undergraduate students
to Huron in a very successful if
exhausting Orientation Week at the
beginning of September. More students
along with parents, sisters, brothers
and even grandparents are on campus
for move-in day – Labour Day – than
at any other time of the year. It`s an
incredibly festive, warm and welcoming
day as students begin their time at
Huron with a lifetime of hopes and
rewards ahead of them.
Homecoming, in early October, was
a particularly enjoyable event for me
since the Young Alumni awards were
presented to Huron graduates for their
work on the Miss G project, initiated
while they were students at Huron, and
which culminated in the introduction
of Gender Studies into the secondary
school curriculum in Ontario.
We were also thoroughly entertained
at Homecoming by Huron alumnus
Gary McCauley, Class of `63, in
particular his reading from his new
book Faith of our Fathers which
includes stories of the pranks
perpetrated by that active bunch of
alumni from the 1960’s. As the current
Student Council President lamented,
“you guys have already done it all!”
On the academic front, both Faculties
are working on Faculty-level academic
plans to be implemented this year. each
plan is primarily aimed at curriculum
and its delivery and is focussed on
student learning objectives including
but not limited to critical and creative
thinking, effective communication,
contextualized knowledge and ability
to use metaphors and models, and
integration of community-based learning
into student formation. New program
development and faculty appointments
in the future will take place within the
framework of each plan.
We strive to provide a university
education of the highest standards
and these academic developments are
informed by a critical examination of
best practices in university education, as
well as comprehensive student feedback.
We continue to present ourselves for
scrutiny and review, and the results
reported in Maclean’s magazine and the
Globe and Mail Canadian University
Report (see page nine of this issue) testify
to our accomplishments and the firstclass
educational experience we offer our
students. Because of our high rankings
I was asked to join other university
Presidents in a panel discussion on the
Business News Network which aired
November 4th and will be available on
the Huron website at www.huronuc.ca.
Huron`s `Touch the Future` Capital
Campaign has reached $10.7-million
towards its $12.5-million goal. I want to
take this opportunity to thank Alumni
donors whose contributions to this
campaign are six times the level of
contributions in our previous campaign.
Thank you also to the College`s many
friends who have generously supported
the Campaign through their gifts. The
support and continued affection and
commitment of Huron`s many alumni
and friends allows us to achieve the
student satisfaction levels that we do, and
together we can take can pride in them.
With my best wishes to all of you from
the College,
Trish Fulton, PhD

ramona lumpkin, Phd, Principal,
Huron University college, 2001-2010
By Ramona Lumpkin, PhD
In my first few months at Huron I
spent many hours asking students,
alumni, staff, faculty, Board
members—everyone I met who was
attached in some way to the College—
“What does Huron mean to you?
What are its values? Its strengths? Its
needs?” And in my address when I
was installed as Huron’s 15 th Principal
in November of 2001, I summed up
these early impressions. Huron seemed
to me, to a remarkable degree, to be
cherished by those who work here,
those who volunteer on its behalf, and
those who are or were its students.
It’s a place defined by community—
something not unique to Huron but
increasingly rare in today’s universities.
It’s also a place of academic rigour,
where students know they’ll be
challenged and will earn a degree that’s
recognized and respected. They will
work hard for that degree, but they’ll be
guided by faculty who value excellent
teaching and by staff who care deeply for
student success.
At the same time, along with these
stories of Huron’s achievements, many
people spoke to me about their anxieties
for the present and future of our College.
The higher education environment in
which we operated was characterized
by a growing emphasis on the applied
and the vocational, declining levels
of public funding, rising student debt
loads, deteriorating physical plants,
and strained university finances.
Ontario’s universities also had to cope
with special challenges such as the
pending elimination of OAC / Grade
13 and the need to revise our programs
to accommodate a new high school
curriculum.
And so we asked each other nine years
ago: Will Huron be able to preserve its
vibrant academic community in the face
of these changes? Will we draw adequate
numbers of students to the study of the
liberal arts and theology? Will we attract
and retain sufficient numbers of faculty
who are dedicated scholar-teachers? Can
we maintain our buildings and grounds
in good repair? Can we continue to
afford the model of education we so
passionately cherish?
I took heart at that time from all the
evidence I found in Huron’s history of
its capacity to change and adapt. The
College was by no means the same
institution in 2001 that it was in its
founding year, 1863. It had moved
sites, become co-educational, added a
Faculty of Arts and Social Science to
its Faculty of Theology, grown in size,
evolved in mission, and reinvented
itself many times over. As I remarked
in my installation address, the need to
change had been met with the courage
to change at each critical moment in
our past, and I had high hopes that such
would be the case in our future.
Now, nine years later, I can say with
considerable pride and no small measure
of relief that my optimism was indeed
well founded. We’ve not only continued
to attract students to our programs but
have in fact witnessed a 40% growth
in enrolment. The associated growth
in revenues has helped us balance our
budget in each of the past eight years,
with annual surpluses going in part
toward maintenance and renewal of
our physical plant. While a number of
long-term and beloved faculty and staff
have retired, we’ve recruited gifted new
members to our ranks. Our endowments
which support student programs and
services have more than doubled in
value, and alumni giving to our current
“Touch the Future” capital campaign
has increased six-fold over the previous
campaign. Further, the exceptional
quality of a Huron education, which
we sometimes lamented was one of the
country’s best-kept secrets, has been
publicly recognized through our stellar
results in a survey published annually
in Maclean’s magazine. These results
speak to the dedication of faculty and
staff colleagues with whom I’ve had the
great privilege of working to ensure that
Huron would not only survive but would
flourish. They also speak to the devotion

of our many supporters, both alumni
and friends, who care deeply for the
College and give countless hours to
our enterprise.
As of October 1, I assumed the
position of President and Vice-
Chancellor of Mount St. Vincent
University in Halifax. As of October
1, one of Huron’s most respected and
dedicated faculty members, Dr. Trish
Fulton, former Dean of Arts and
Social Science, will serve as Interim
Principal until a new Principal is
appointed to serve beginning July 1,
2011.
In leaving this place and its people,
whom I have learned so deeply to
love, I’ll return once again to the
words of my installation address,
when I accepted the principalship
“with humility and joy, promising to
you my best and knowing that our
College’s well-being will depend on
the work that we all do together. I
believe that our future, like our past,
will tell the story of an institution
steadfast in its fundamental purposes,
but at the same time vibrant and
changing to meet the needs of the
society it serves.”
Then as now, my closing words are,
“Thank you for this opportunity to be
a part of your work.”
Yours sincerely,
Ramona Lumpkin, PhD
Principal
2001 - 2010
Huron University College
in appreciation of ramona
lumpkin, 15 th Principal of
Huron University college
Huron has benefitted tremendously
under Ramona’s vision and excellent
stewardship. Since her appointment,
student enrolment increased by 40%
and now stands at 1,300 students.
Unlike other universities, Huron has
been able to maintain its full staff
complement and achieved a balanced
budget for the past eight years. Huron’s
“Touch the Future” Capital Campaign is
on track for completion in 2011, already
having raised over $10.7 million of its
$12.5 million goal.
Dr. Lumpkin has made Huron’s
commitment to internationalization
and community service a priority and
has continued to strengthen Huron’s
role in these areas. She has been a
strong advocate for the value of small
liberal arts colleges and their benefits
to students. We all appreciate Ramona’s
heart-felt concern for students and the
way she is always available for a student
in need.
During her nine years at Huron,
Ramona has overseen significant
expansion projects with the
construction of a new residence, the
addition of a library wing, development
of new classroom space and a renovated
Registrar and Academic Services
Centre.
In addition to her commitment to
Huron, Dr. Lumpkin has been an active
community leader. She has served
as the President of the Board for Big
Brothers and Big Sisters of London and
Area and was a member of “Imagine
Huron” Strategic Planning Task Force
for the Anglican Diocese of Huron. In
addition, she was awarded the Order
of Huron from the Anglican Diocese
of Huron in 2007 for her service to the
Diocese.
John Leitch, Chair, Executive Board,
2008 – 2010
I wish I could take a little bit of the
credit, but I had left the executive
Board when Ramona was chosen. But
what a great choice was made. For
nine years Huron has had as its CeO a
gifted academic and a strong and tough
administrator. She will be missed but
she leaves behind a vibrant, growing,
outward looking, financially strong
Huron University College. Thanks be to
God for her principalship.
W. Darcy McKeough, Honorary Chair,
The Campaign for Huron and
Past President, Huron University College
Foundation
Dr. Lumpkin was not only a wonderful,
warm Principal who made every
student at Huron feel welcome; she was
also a dynamic teacher who brought
literature to life for so many of us
in her seminars. As Principal and a
professor, she inspired us to pursue
excellence both inside and outside of
the classroom.

I remember well, years ago,
interviewing Ramona when she first
applied for the position of Principal of
Huron University College. Here I was, a
new Dean only months in the position,
yet feeling giddy with excitement that
she might possibly be our new leader.
Imagine how I must have felt
experiencing for the first time what
years later the whole Huron community
came to know and love - vision,
excitement, energy to spare, abounding
humour, accountability, fairness and
a deep faith in the educational and
religious mission of the college. We
would be so lucky to have her and, we
were.
Not a week passes that I do not
remember the lessons learned or the joy
of an experience shared with Ramona.
It was my honour to share a path with
Principal Ramona Lumpkin at her
farewell dinner in the Kingsmill
Room (formerly the SAC),
September 17th, 2010
her. She was loved and respected by
students, staff, national colleagues,
faculty, alumni, board members and by
me. She will be missed. Let us honour
her by honouring the work she did and
the love she extended to all of us, the
Huron Community.
The Rt. Rev. John H Chapman ’78,
Bishop of Ottawa and Dean of Theology,
Huron University College, 2000 – 2007
It was my first meeting with Ramona,
long before I became actively involved
with the College, that remains indelibly
etched in my mind.
I was introduced to her by Ken
Andrews in her office. And it was like
we were old friends…like it wasn’t the
first time we had met. And we talked
about the College and its challenges and
opportunities and what it meant to me,
and more importantly what it meant to
her. I remember being touched by how
she made the time to talk to me.
I have heard many times since my
first meeting that I am not alone and
that others who meet her for the first
time feel the same way – that her
personal notes on letters to alumni or
the way that she always remembers a
name makes them feel special…makes
them feel a part of Huron.
She leaves us with a legacy of caring,
not only for Huron University College,
but also for its students, faculty, staff,
alumni and friends. We will miss her
deeply but know that others can only
benefit from her tremendous leadership
and example.
Sandra Datars Bere, President, Huron
University College Alumni Association

She always says “yes”, is supportive
and is involved at the grass roots
level. When I asked if I could plant a
Carolinian Garden at Huron, Ramona
helped choose the site and took more
garden tours than is reasonable to
expect of a mortal. When I asked if
I could restore the Winder Garden,
she interrupted her Huron work and
arrived at 3:00 p.m. on Victoria Day,
2004, armed with secateurs and lopping
pruners; we pruned and weeded for
hours. When I asked if I could initiate
an eradication program (weed) the
invasive garlic mustard plants, she
readily agreed and as recently as July
20 th , she pulled a tall slender garlic
mustard specimen from the edge of
Burnlea Walk. Thank you, Ramona, for
all your gifts of opportunity.
Helen Moore ’62, Member, Huron
University College Corporation
Where I got to know Ramona perhaps
the best was through fundraising. Now,
I’m sure Bishop Cronyn asked a few
friends of the College for some cash, but
it wasn’t with the same style as Ramona.
With her natural charm and enthusiasm
she cemented a lot of relationships
with alumni and friends of the College.
Now, according to the fundraising
textbook, the number two guy does all
the heavy work: keep the conversation
going; do the “ask”; etc. But not with
Ramona. I rarely got the chance to do
introductions and the conversation
began in earnest. On a number of
occasions Ramona even did the “ask”. I
just carried her bags and flagged down
cabs.
Rick Lucas ’69, President, Huron
University College Foundation
Dr. Ramona Lumpkin has been a gift
to Huron University College and to
our Diocese of Huron. ‘Building up the
Community’ is her ministry and she
does so with such elegance! Ramona
has generously shared her skills with
her Church through strategic processes
such as the Imagine Huron Team and
episcopacy Review Task Force.
Great responsibility and a hectic
schedule have not diminished this
woman’s concern for others. Trying
to help a family in my parish, I asked
Ramona if someone at Huron could
provide a tour of the school for a
young man who was trying to select a
university, often a challenging time for
families. The welcome they received
was beyond their expectation. Needless
to say, Huron University College was
the school chosen, but more than that,
they felt valued and comforted to know
that someone cared enough to help
them. That is simply Ramona’s warm,
engaging way!
The Ven. Kimberly Van Allen ’97, All
Saints’ Church, Windsor and Archdeacon
of Essex
The Renaissance at Huron University
College is clear evidence of the
administrative skills of Principal
Lumpkin. As well, her personal
contributions to community
organizations in London, such as
Big Sisters, reveal personal attributes
worthy of acclaim. But these
accomplishments are mere expressions
of a restless energy harnessed by
a fertile intellect and driven by an
exacting will. In her initiative, (Acting
up! with Shakespeare) Dr. Lumpkin
sought to bring the City right inside the
University with an evening to have fun,
to raise funds, but predominantly to tell
the good news story of Huron. Through
this endeavour, and the multitude of
others during her tenure, Dr. Lumpkin
has secured a place of high honour in
the history of Huron and won a similar
place in the hearts of all she touched in
the process.
Mike Menear, Director, Huron University
College Foundation
One of the most precious qualities a
person can have from a theological
perspective is the ability to be fully
present with anyone regardless of the
differences between them. Ramona
Lumpkin embodied this presence with
grace and joy as she worked alongside
students, faculty and friends from vastly
different backgrounds and interests
during a theology fundraiser to support
St. Philip’s Theological College, founded
in Tanzania in the early 20 th century by
a Huron graduate.
Donning hairnet and gloves, Ramona
was as poised and genuinely engaged
with the people and her tasks as she
was during any of her most important
responsibilities as our Principal.
Regardless of how busy she was,
Ramona always brought all of her
best strengths to the table in student
leadership discussions, with humour
and kindness that brought out the best
in student leaders who were blessed to
work with her.
Thank you, Ramona, for your quiet
confidence and faith that has inspired
us to look higher, reach farther and be
the people God calls us to be.

of Divinity degree and President, Bishop

Dr. Alfred Chan
By Ken Andrews, Director, Alumni and Community Development
As you read
this issue
Huron’s 15th
Principal,
Dr. Ramona
Lumpkin,
will have
become
President
and Vice-
Chancellor
of Mount St. Vincent University in
Halifax. Dr. Lumpkin’s last day at Huron
was September 30th. Her portrait
graces the cover of this issue and hangs
in the Great Hall at Huron with those of
other former Principals.
During her nine
years at Huron, Dr.
Lumpkin (left) made
life at the College one
full of joy, engagement
and rewards for its
students. The CeO of
any university in this day and age faces
formidable challenges at any time, and
during her principalship, Dr. Lumpkin
successfully worked with her colleagues
– from faculty, staff and students to
board members, alumni and friends
– in a way that produced remarkable
successes including, in financial terms,
operational budget surpluses in each of
the past eight years.
The bottom line is not only financial.
It’s also the exceptional results which
the College has achieved in student
satisfaction surveys as reported in
Maclean’s magazine (see sidebar).
The connection between positive
financial results and high student
satisfaction is no accident. Within a
positive, stable environment, students
have been able to pursue their dreams
and prepare for the future in the
uniquely supportive and engaging
environment that is Huron; faculty
pursue their individual commitment
to teaching excellence and scholarship;
and staff develop innovative programs
and services for students. For her
leadership we owe Dr. Lumpkin
enormous thanks.
Moreover, being the kind of person
she is, Dr. Lumpkin showed an ability
to bring out the best in people. I knew
that five minutes after meeting her,
and that never changed over the nine
years she was Principal. She appeals to
people’s best instincts and their best
qualities, and the result was that people
contributed to the Huron community
in ways that brought out the very best
in them. Dr. Lumpkin embraced the
community of alumni and friends at
Huron with a genuine and heartfelt
interest in each of them, and the
College is that much better for it. The
comments of many
alumni and friends
are included in this
issue.
Huron is also
fortunate that Dr.
Trish Fulton (right)
has been appointed
Interim Principal. Dr. Fulton brings
enormous experience and wisdom to
the position at Huron, having joined the
College in 1977 as Assistant Professor
of economics and served in a number
of roles over the years including Chair
of the Department of economics and,
for two five-year terms, Dean of the
Faculty of Arts and Social Science.
Indeed, the transition from Dr.
Lumpkin to Dr. Fulton was as smooth
as can be, ending with Trish driving
Ramona and Bill to the London train
station for the trip to Halifax, complete
with luggage and cats Marley and Rosie.
Dr. Fulton is known to Huron alumni
over four decades, and in the months
ahead she looks forward to seeing
alumni and friends at
many Huron events.
Her Principal’s Corner
column appears on
page three.
Another person
who has made such a
remarkable difference
in people’s lives, Miss
Catharine Ridley (above), Huron’s
Registrar between 1961 and 1991,
continues to improve after some health
setbacks in 2010. Over the winter she
was hospitalized twice following falls
at home, the second of which resulted
in a broken hip. In both instances,
after long rehabilitation and, as much
as anything, a fortitude, independent
spirit and resoluteness which carried
her forward over pain and weakness,
she returned home where she is now
resting comfortably, although she is not
as mobile as she once was.
Miss Ridley’s memories of Huron
are as vivid now as they were 19 years
ago when she retired, and its students
continue to have a special place in her
heart. For Miss Ridley, any student
who qualified to attend Huron and

met its standards was special as she
devoted herself to help them prepare for
the future and a successful life ahead.
As she has said on many occasions of
Huron students, now alumni: “They have
all done so well.”
Congratulations
to Dr. Neil Brooks
(right), Department
of english, this
year’s recipient of
the Huron Student
Council Teaching
Award. Dr. Brooks
was profiled in 2005 in the Huron
newsletter. Congratulations as well to
Dr. Jim Crimmins
(left), Department
of Political Science
and recipient of the
Award of excellence
in Undergraduate
Teaching as chosen
by his colleagues in Faculty of Arts
and Social Science. Dr. Crimmins’
remarks to Huron’s executive Board are
reproduced in this issue.
Last but not least, a recent
independent survey of Huron
graduating students speaks to the special
place Huron continues to be. In response
to the question as to whether they would
recommend Huron to a friend, 100%
responded ‘yes.’ Together with faculty
and staff, Huron alumni and friends can
take great pride and satisfaction in these
results through their commitment to the
College and the exceptional educational
community that is Huron.

Top marks
Huron earns top grades in Maclean’s
University student issue and The Globe
and Mail Canadian University Report
Huron has earned high marks in student satisfaction as reported in Maclean’s
magazine and The Globe and Mail.
In its February 22, 2010 edition, Maclean’s reported that Huron finished
first in Ontario in three of the nine categories in which it was ranked.
As the basis for their rankings, the editors used results from the National
Survey of Student engagement (NSSe) in which 64 universities from across
Canada participated, including Huron. Huron finished first in Ontario in each
of the following categories:
X “Supportive Campus environment” (3rd in Canada),
X “If you could start over (among final-year students), would you go to the
institution you are now attending?” (3rd in Canada), and
X “Student-Faculty Interaction” (5th in Canada).
Of the nine categories of student satisfaction, Huron finished above the NSSe
benchmark in seven of the nine categories.
Moreover, Huron’s results improved in a number of categories compared
to two years ago when Huron students were first surveyed. For example, 95%
of students rated their entire educational experience as excellent or good,
compared with 91% in 2007.
In The Globe and Mail Canadian University Report published October 25, 2010,
Huron University College earned “A” grades in 12 of the 17 categories of student
satisfaction reported, including an A+ in “Student-Faculty Interaction” and in
“Class Size” and an A in “Quality of Teaching” and in “Quality of education”.
The results of the survey of over 35,000 undergraduate students at 59
Canadian universities were grouped according to size of institution.
The survey also drilled down to the program of study asking Liberal arts
students the “degree to which you feel your academic experience will prepare
you for employment.” Huron students rated Huron “TOPS” on this career
preparation question.
A portion of the survey sought to uncover what undergrads thought about
various aspects of what the publication identified as the University’s
“personality.” Huron was rated among the top 10 universities in Canada
as an “academically nurturing and supporting” university.
“Huron continues to receive valuable feedback from its students on the
quality of their academic, extra- and co-curricular experiences during their
undergraduate years,” says Interim Principal Trish Fulton.
“We appreciate the advice and support that we receive from all of our
students as we work to provide an excellent liberal arts education.”

“Your homework from the

Huron’s first-Year convocation ceremony
Each year as part of Orientation, Huron holds a First-Year Convocation Ceremony
to recognize formally the beginning of the academic career. Held in the Kingsmill
Room (formerly the SAC), students are introduced to the responsibility ahead of
them, how to make the most of their time at Huron, and the opportunities that
await them beyond graduation.
2009’s ‘First-Year Convocation’ featured greetings from Dr. Mark Blagrave, Dean
of the Faculty of Arts and Social Science, and guest speaker Andrew Aziz, Class of
1983. Both addresses are featured below.
Mark Blagrave became Dean of the
Faculty of Arts and Social Science on July
1, 2009. His debut novel, ‘Silver Salts’
was shortlisted for the Commonwealth
Writer’s Prize for Best First Book. He has
also written ‘Marco Polo: The Musical’
which premiered as part of The Saint
John Theatre Company’s 2010-2011
season.
By Mark Blagrave, PhD, Dean,
Faculty of Arts and Social Science
I feel a special connexion with you as
an incoming class. even though I am
old and you are not, and I am dressed
in a funny frock and you are not, and
I’ve spent more than half my life on the
east Coast and most of you have not –
we are alike.
I have been at Huron a little longer
than you, it’s true; but only eight
weeks longer. We are fresh-persons
together, neophytes – new plants –
scared, excited, daunted by a sense of
responsibility not to screw this up, to
put our best foot/feet forward with a
new set of peers. (For those of you who
are counting, there are at least three
metaphors horribly mixed in there.)
I have written a note in the
programme. Read it, please. (There will
be a test later—though not of the kind
you might expect). The note speaks
to the incredible opportunity you
have been given (me too) and of the
significant responsibilities that come
with that opportunity.
These will be among the best years of
your life, but they can be wasted. Don’t
let that happen. Being a student is your
job now, and it will need every bit as
much attention and devotion as any
full-time job you’ll ever have.
For all of us fresh-persons, I have
two words (literally, it’s two words;
but because I’m an academic, there
are footnotes, so it seems longer).
The two words both have Greek roots
and they share a prefix. They are:
“metamorphosis” and “metaphor.”
By metamorphosis, I don’t have in
mind the Kafka nightmare of waking up
to find yourself a bug (though that can
feel like it’s happening some mornings),
or the terrifying mutations into trees or
rocks or animals chronicled by Ovid.
We don’t have Ovid’s angry gods (or
Kafka’s hero’s nasty author) to transform
us. We have to do it ourselves (though
we can ask help from a lot of others –
read the programme note; look around
you). We have to do the transforming
ourselves, and it’s hard work.
How we tackle the job is through the
second word: “metaphor.” Quite apart
from being at a higher order than a
simile and different from a homonym
or whatever you have been drilled in
by successive years of boring english
teachers, a metaphor puts side by side
two things you might never have
thought similar and makes you consider
the connexion.
In a simile, my love is like a red red
rose. The two comparators are allowed
separate existences. The proposition
is plausible, and nothing in the world
changes. The love is love and the rose is
a rose (read Gertrude Stein). Metaphor
says my love IS a red red rose. That’s
revolutionary. It makes no rational sense.
It is the act of imagination that opens
up the closed system to suggest new
relationships.
And that’s a huge part of what we do
here at university, whether it’s through
the formulas of mathematics, the
experimental method of science, data
sets in social science, or in studying
the great works of art. everything
stands for something else. We are
all about metaphors. They help us to
metamorphose.
So, your homework from the Dean (and
it’s due every day as long as you are here):
transform yourselves. See the connections.

Mark Blagrave, Dean, Faculty of Arts and Social Science.
“Programme notes”
(from the Dean of Arts and Social Science, distributed to first-year students).
Congratulations. You have chosen — and been chosen by — one of the absolutely best places in the country to transform your lives.
Beginning right now, you have the opportunity to start becoming whatever you want, drawing on the experience, wisdom, guidance, and
support of the faculty and staff of Huron University College.
Over the next eight months, and in the years that follow, you will develop new habits of thinking, and revise or abandon old ones.
You will be exposed to challenging ideas. You will discover new ways of relating to your peers. You will become part of a community
of learners: students, professors, the whole college, sharing the best that has been thought and felt, and exploring and adapting
methodologies that have advanced society, while always remaining open to seeing another perspective, to adjusting, growing, and
embracing. the experience that transforms you at Huron will set you up for your lifetime by nurturing you as a critical, creative, and
compassionate thinker.
today also represents the early stages of an enormous investment. You have huge responsibilities to your “stakeholders.” these include
family members who have helped financially to get you here, the taxpaying public at large who help fund higher education in this
country, alumni and friends of the College who have provided scholarships and bursaries, your former teachers and classmates who
have made you the learner you are today, and, finally, yourselves.
never for a moment forget your responsibilities to these investors. Your devoted commitment to your studies from day one is crucial
to your success at university, to achieving the highest dividend for everyone on the investment. treat your studies as you would a job.
typically, a full-time undergraduate at Huron has about 15 hours of lectures, laboratories, and tutorials each week. if you find yourself
spending any less than double that amount of time on your studies outside of class, reading, writing, researching, discussing, then you
are failing to take advantage of the opportunity.
We will do everything in our power to make your career at Huron fulfilling, challenging, and successful. the wholehearted commitment
of time and energy is up to you. Make us, and yourselves, proud.

Ceremony in Orientation Week, he spoke to frosh in the Kingsmill Room.
By Andrew Aziz, ’83
Although you may not be sure what you
want to do with your education,
I can assure you that one at Huron will
both inspire you and prepare you well.
When I got here that first week in
1980, I was very nervous because I
really wasn’t all that outgoing and
I didn’t know what to expect, and I
was really excited because university

epresented a fresh start with many
possibilities. I expect at least some of
you are feeling that way today. And to
allay any worries you have, I want to
assure that you have made the right
decision to pursue a liberal arts degree,
and to do so at Huron.
I believe there is intrinsic value to
learning, gaining knowledge, and
personal growth, all of which you will
get here, both inside and outside the
classroom.
It is amazing to me that it was 29
years ago that I entered university
because I remember it like it was
yesterday.
I have some great memories from my
years at Huron. Many are of the people
I met and got to know here. Some were
real characters.

On Wednesday 26 May, the Faculty of
Arts and Social Science (FASS) hosted its
first-ever research day at the College to
celebrate recent scholarship and to provide
opportunities for faculty and staff to share
their research activities with one another.
Organized by the research Committee of
FASS, the day began with presentations on
funding opportunities and partnerships by
representatives of the University of Western
Ontario and the Ontario Ministry of research
and innovation.
the afternoon was given over to a celebration
of research activity in FASS, with fifteen
members of faculty and staff sharing the
fruits of their recent endeavours through
poster presentations and brief talks.
geoff read’s talk on the formation of
Métis identity and Arja Vainio-Mattila’s
One I encountered playing in the
then Huron College Ball Hockey
League. This league was open to
anyone who could hold a hockey
stick. It was full contact, no one wore
equipment, and the refs were bordering
on negligent. Anyone could enter a
team and normally a floor in residence
would put a team together and enter.
The teams would name themselves and
most players had nicknames on the
back of their jerseys.
In first year, our floor put a team
together. We were green – we had no
idea what we were getting into and
some of us only dreamed of being
athletes. Our first game was against
a team of third and fourth-year guys,
absolutely the meanest bunch ever
to play.
presentation on performativity of “civil
society” in development projects and
Mariana ionescu’s work on writing from
the margins by francophone women were
complemented by Michiya Kawai’s linguistic
analysis of Cuban dialects and Mark Cole’s
data on learning patterns in rats.
the large audience heard about identity
strategies among young Muslims in
europe from Paul nesbitt-larking, about
philosophical understandings of the nature
of love from glen Koehn, and about the
history of technological change in South
Western Ontario from doug leighton. With
the portrait in the great Hall looking on,
they even heard a reassessment by doug
leighton and nina reid-Maroney of the
career of isaac Hellmuth, Huron’s first
Principal.

theresa Hyland, Ozden Sungur, Christine

I remember being cross-checked in
the back. I think I yelled something to
him like, “What’d you do that for?” His
helmet was loose (almost as much as
his grip on sanity) and slightly off to
one side. He just looked at me. He had
combined theatre and sport. I knew this
was the place for me. I only ever saw
him on the ball-hockey court but his
legend lives on, at least in my mind.
While we certainly played a lot of
sports, I have to say I really enjoyed
classes too. There were only three
people in my second-year philosophy
class. even with the small class sizes in
first-year, this took a little getting used
to. It was difficult to get away with not
doing your readings, but when you
know the professor that well there were
times when that was possible. >>
Celebrating Huron faculty research and scholarship
shared the results of work on communitybased
learning and transformative learning
theory, student engagement with the culture
of writing at Huron, the use of micro data to
understand real exchange rates and limited
asset market participation, the effect of
musical training on reading skills, the
hierarchical structure of personality, and
the role of academic libraries in developing
civil society.
the range and rigour of the work being
done is a clear sign that high quality
research continues to be done in concert
with excellent teaching.
the day concluded with a roundtable
discussion of means of nurturing research
activity at Huron and of harnessing faculty
research to encourage intellectual curiosity
in the classroom. One firm conclusion
was that the research day event should
become an annual one.

even in second year, I had no idea
what I was going to do after university. I
had tried a business course, economics,
english and history and my major was
French. If we had received report cards
with comments, mine would have said;
“Lacks focus”. But it was in one of my
philosophy classes that we studied some
elements of the philosophy of law that I
began to see that law might eventually
be a career for me.
Recently, I was flipping through a few
of my old yearbooks and aside from a
few very bad haircuts and lumberjack
shirts, I recognized and remembered
almost all of the people who were at
Huron when I was. Living in residence
greatly contributed to my experience
at Huron. Living on my own away
from home for the first time and in
residence with others, and participating
in university life, were integral to my
education. But I had to learn to do what
worked for me.
I remember one particularly gifted
friend of mine who was on our floor.
When I was in first year one of the
toughest courses on main campus was
organic chemistry and he was the only
person I knew taking this course. There
were both classes and an additional
five hours of labs per week in this
course and apparently the class average
hovered around 40%.
My friend never went to this class,
and I was absolutely amazed when
he cracked his textbook for the first
time the night before the final exam.
He ended up near the top of the class
with a grade of 75%. He also later got a
perfect mark on his LSAT. I knew I was
not this smart and that I had to study
diligently to get decent marks. And to
this day I remember studying for final
exams when it was sunny and warm
for the two weeks from April 15th to
April 30th, and how hard it was to stay
on task. Unless you are as smart as my
friend was, I hope you will put in the
time throughout the year and when you
need to during exams.
The final point I want to make is
that you should make the most of your
time at Huron. Try new things, don’t
worry overly about making mistakes,
and become actively involved in your
education. I know that you will do that
because you are already here.
Thank you and good luck to
everybody!

2010 Medal of Distinction recipient Rick
Cluff ’74, with his daughter Mallory
Congratulations to Rick Cluff, Class of
1974, who received the Huron Medal of
Distinction at the 2010 Faculty of Arts
and Social Science graduation ceremony.
The Huron University College Medal of
Distinction was established to recognize
individuals whose life achievements set
an example of excellence and reflect
Huron’s arts and social science mission.
Such achievements include noteworthy
contributions to scholarship, to public
service, to Huron University College, or
to the local community.
Rick has been the host of CBC Radio’s
popular morning show, “The Early
Edition”, since September of 1997. Prior
to that, Rick’s voice was well-known as
an award-winning sports commentator
and journalist. He has appeared as a
host, reporter or commentator on a
number of different CBC radio and
television programs.
Leaving sports to return to news and
current affairs was actually a return to

his roots for Rick. He began his career
with CBC Radio in 1976, as a reporter/
editor in the national radio newsroom.
Two years later he moved to the national
sports department for what was supposed
to be a “temporary” assignment. That
temporary assignment lasted 20 years,
during which time Rick traveled the
world reporting on the accomplishments
of Canadian athletes at home and
abroad.
Rick has a degree in Political Science
from Huron University College and a
degree in Journalism from Carleton
University in Ottawa.
Thank you for the invitation to be
here today; and thank you for your
courage in handing a microphone to a
broadcaster and saying, “Speak about
whatever you want.”
I am delighted to be with you today.
I’m humbled and I’m curious. Why me?
If you had been at Huron while I was
here and found out that I would be the
Medal of Distinction speaker 36 years
later, you would probably be surprised
– some people would be angry. Let’s just
say I was not the best student. Nor was
I the worst. I was average – the poster
boy for “B’s – okay C’s, get degrees.”
I know there are many more
deserving candidates but since they’re
not here, and I am – what the heck.
I had the pleasure of meeting some of
you prior to this afternoon’s ceremony
and as I looked into your eyes I saw a
familiar reflection: I saw the faces of
my classmates in 1974 when it was our
turn.
During that last week before
graduation, I remember walking
through the Great Hall (which is my
favourite place in the College) and
wondering what was I going to do.
Asking myself where would I be in, say,
10 years. Would I be happy? Would I be
wealthy? Would I be wise? (I guess one
out of three isn’t bad. I’m pretty happy.)
1974 – long before most of you were
born. Back when a box of beer cost
less than ten bucks, apple was just a
fruit and telephones still had dials. I
wasn’t the first to ask those questions
and I knew I wouldn’t be the last. Many
of you have asked yourselves those
questions and are still looking for
answers.
Well, I’m here today to tell you that
uncertainty you feel – that doubt –
never really goes away. The question is,
how do you manage the uncertainty?
If I may, allow me to share a bit of my
personal story. My uncertainty.
It might have been decades ago, but I
still remember when I had to leave the
protective embrace of these walls.
Armed with a freshly minted degree
in Political Science, I thought about
studying law, but soon realized the
world didn’t need another lawyer. And
more importantly, I wasn’t about to
enlist for another three years.
I considered the priesthood, but had
too many questions and too little time
to repent for past sins. The Bishop was
not amused. That didn’t go anywhere.
I left here with little idea of what I
wanted to do, full of uncertainty and
self-doubt.
Oh, I had a job. I took a shot at
business and began with the best of
intentions. I was hired by Bell Canada
as a management trainee, but soon
realized I was the one who needed to be
managed. That job lasted five months. It
was their suggestion I leave.
The great playwright George Bernard
Shaw wrote:
“A life spent in making mistakes is not
only more honourable, but more useful
than a life spent doing nothing.”
So my life to that point had been, at
the very least, honourable! I had been
doing something – even if it wasn’t what
my Mother had hoped. It wasn’t what I
wanted to do, either.
Unemployed but undeterred I pressed
on. But to do what?
My father had worked in the
entertainment business most of his
life. Back in the 1930’s he had his own
radio program. He was a band singer
and broadcast a daily 15-minute show
of music and chat. When the Second
World War broke out, he and his
band enlisted and were part of the Air
Force Show. In the 60’s, when I was
growing up, he was a music producer
and mentor to young entertainers.
Kids, he used to call them, like Gordon
Lightfoot.
As I was thinking about my future
and worried about what I should do,
I could hear his voice in the back of
my head saying, “If I can give you any
advice, don’t go into radio. There’s no
future in it. And for goodness sake,
steer clear of the CBC.”
During my years in school I had
dabbled in radio, beginning in campus
radio and then with part-time jobs in
small commercial stations where I did
everything from sweep the floors to
playing Lawrence Welk records. It was
fun but was it a career?
Unlike my Dad, I had an advantage –
this place!
My time at Huron had prepared me
for almost anything. It had given me a
solid foundation upon which to build
and I took that knowledge – combined
with my interest in media – and
decided to head back to school for a
degree in journalism.
When I graduated I knew almost

immediately I had discovered my
career. I was a journalist, a paid
observer in a field that is seen by the
general public as being ranked just
below ‘used car salesman’ and just
above ‘politician.’
But I have no regrets. My life’s path
has taken me on an adventure that
wasn’t planned, but followed. I followed
my heart and if you do that you will
never go wrong.
I have enjoyed wonderful
opportunities and have seen and done
things I could only dream about when I
was your age.
I have met Kings and Princes. I have
interviewed Presidents and Prime
Ministers. I have crossed between
east and West Germany when there
was a Berlin Wall and I have stood at
the border, looking across the DMZ
between North and South Korea.
I have enjoyed cocktails with Her
Majesty, conversed with Muhammad
Ali and have Don Cherry’s personal
cell phone number. I gave Michael
Buble his first air play and have had the
privilege to cover some of the greatest
athletes in the world. I have been to
eight Olympic Games and this year was
honoured to carry the Olympic Torch. I
am a member of the Canadian Football
League Hall of Fame and I have piloted
the Goodyear Blimp!
And through it all I remembered
Huron, and have been thankful for this
place a thousand times over because
none of it would have been possible had
it not been for the time I spent here.
In retrospect, I’m glad I didn’t listen
to my Father – and I know he would be
too.
Some of you will be surprised by what
I am about to say.
A Liberal Arts degree trains you
for nothing but prepares you for
everything.
Research suggests your generation
will be a transient work force. You will
have a variety of career opportunities
and a number of different employers.
Gone are the days of lengthy careers
and the golden watch for 25 years of
service.
You will be forced to adapt.
encouraged to experience new things,
and you will continue to learn. And
yup, some of you might even be fired.
There will be great joy in your
life. There will be sadness. There
will be triumph and there will be
disappointment. You will make
mistakes and some people will call
them failures. But you will also enjoy
great success and ‘YeS’, the uncertainty
will continue.
You’ve spent some wonderful years
at Huron. It’s been your home, your
security blanket, your clubhouse, your
family, and now you’re leaving.
How successful you are will depend
in large part on what you have
accomplished here.
Let me quote from one of my
favourite writers, and I hope one of
yours, Dr. Seuss, who said:
“You have brains in your head. You
have feet in your shoes. You can steer
yourself in any direction you choose.
“You’re on your own. And you know
what you know. You are the guy who’ll
decide where to go.”
The degree you earn today is not an
automatic passport to success. It tells
the world you are intelligent and have
the capacity to learn and it should give
you more confidence as you go on to
face your uncertainty.
You are the lucky ones. You are
graduating from the best liberal arts
1974 Grad,
Rick Cluff
university college in the country. A
college recognized around the world for
its quality of education and its legacy of
graduates – many of whom have made
enormous contributions to society.
Today you join that group and are now,
and will forever be, a member of the
Huron family.
Look around you.
Some of the people here today you
might never see again – appreciate
them.
The life you lived within these walls
is gone but will never be forgotten – be
grateful for it.
And look to your family, your parents
in particular, and say “Thank You” for
everything.
Let me close with a quote from Mark
Twain.
“Twenty years from now you will be
more disappointed by the things you
didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So
throw off the bowlines. Sail away from
the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds
in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
Don’t be sad it’s over – be grateful it
happened. Don’t fear the uncertainty –
manage it. And never stop learning!
Well done Class of 2010!
God Bless You.

“our experiences allowed us to view the
different strengths of the human spirit”
Huron theology students in post-apartheid south africa
As part of the Faculty of Theology’s
Transcultural Learning Experience
Program, five Master of Divinity
students embarked on an
experience that would forever
alter the way they view issues of
social justice. This inaugural event
was sponsored by the generous
contributions of Diocese of Huron
churches and Huron alumni and
friends.
Led by the Dean of the Faculty of
Theology, The Rev. Dr. William J.
Danaher, Jr., and including students
Chantal Blackshaw, Martin Levesque,
Meghan Nichols, Rebecca Sample
and Chris Travers, the group began
their three-week journey in May,
2009 to explore firsthand the social
transformation and reconciliation in
post-apartheid South Africa.
“The six of us embarked on an
education experience half way around
the globe to embrace a culture that
was not our own, and to share in the
experiences of people young and
old, rich and poor, healthy and sick,”
says Chris Travers. “Our trip allowed
us to explore the impact of social
transformation and restoration postapartheid
and to see reconciliation at
work through people and institutions
throughout the country.”
Visiting and studying South
Africa provides Canadians with an
important perspective not only on
another culture and context but on
our own, says Dean Bill Danaher. But
no amount of preparation could have
prepared the students for the sights and
experiences of those stricken with HIV
and banished from their homes and
families.
“South Africa is a state of `fragile
stability,’ in which the gap between rich
and poor has increased,” says Dean
Danaher. “Crime rates are among the
highest in the world, nearly 20 per cent
of the population is infected with HIV,
and political groups have become
increasingly entrenched along racial,
ethnic, and tribal lines.”
While in South Africa, students
took part in teaching HIV awareness,
peer education, outreach programs,
and spent a day at an HIV rescue
centre talking to those infected with
the virus.“Our experiences allowed us
to view the different strengths of the
human spirit,” says Rebecca Sample.
Dean Danaher helped us reflect and
process our experiences, our anger,
our joy and awe through prayer and
conversation, says Chris, who adds
that “it is safe to say that all of us
experienced the trip differently.”
“We were taught the power

of forgiveness, and what can be
accomplished if you truly are willing
to devote yourself to a cause,” says
Rebecca. “What we saw has deeply
changed the focus of my own ministry,
and I am still continuing to unpack
where it will take me.”
Dean Danaher first visited South
Africa when he was six-years-old
with his family. He was so taken by
the experience and people that he has
traveled back to South Africa on several
occasions.
Understanding where people stand
in a particular culture and standing
with them in faith serves as a constant
reminder, he says, of the struggles
people endure. Moreover, with the
power of the church and faith, a
people can finally find themselves and
overcome such hardships.
Dean Danaher believes that in order
to gain a real-life perspective and “by
seeing how another part of the world
sees itself,” students must go beyond
the safety and sanctity of the classroom
and insert themselves in that culture
and people firsthand and then begin
to reflect and redirect their new-found
knowledge back onto the world around
them.
For the students, the experience was
profound. “(It had) a lasting effect that
cannot be understated,” says Martin
Levesque . “The challenges that South
Africa presents to someone from North
America cannot be understated. As
a theological education trip, it was
immeasurable.”
Adds Dean Danaher, “Whether in
townships or cathedrals, at universities
or on the street, at prayer or in
conversation, at work or at play, I was
amazed at the empathy, resiliency,
determination and faith of the
seminarians that came with me on
this trip.
“For sure, the demands facing us in
the Anglican Church of Canada are
significant, and the next generation of
priests will face challenges that previous
generations did not. But having worked
with seminarians like those who came
to South Africa, I am confident that
God is giving us leaders to meet what
lies before us.”
Children of Africa
Remember
By Chris Travers ’09
To be a child once again;
To laugh,
and run,
and sing,
To play their games and have no
worries;
and spend their time in dreams.
To be a child once again;
To smile,
and dance,
and sing,
To pretend and make believe;
To remember that you used to be;
a child with no worries.

The campaign
for Huron
Small class sizes, individual attention from professors and a supportive
community environment. Pranks plotted secretly among friends and
executed to the astonishment of those not in on the planning. Studying
for a liberal arts degree in a truly liberal arts environment, knowing
everyone’s names, and realizing the beaver is not only a symbol of Canada
but also of the best post-secondary institution in Canada.
These elements are ingrained in Huron’s heritage and have remained constant
throughout Huron’s history.
The Campaign for Huron honours the past while extending a hand to the future
to ensure these aspects of Huron’s legacy remain. Instead of focusing on bricks and
mortar as previous campaigns have, Touch the Future – The Campaign for Huron
is focused on dramatically increasing the College’s endowments to provide a secure,
strong and continuing source of funding for College programs and student support
including scholarships, bursaries, community-based learning, the Chapel, campus
preservation, The Silcox Memorial Library and the Faculty of Theology.
Officially ending next April, the Campaign aims to raise $12.5 million. As of
October 15, 2010, alumni and friends have generously contributed $10.7 million to
the Campaign.
The Campaign for Huron includes an interactive Campaign website.
Located at http://alumni.huronuc.ca, it features favourite Huron memories, photos,
quizzes and more.
Through a contribution to The Campaign for Huron, alumni and friends can

doug Hammar ’58:
A tradition at the College in the ’50s
was for the frosh class to make sure all
other members of the residence were
in chapel at 7 a.m. to celebrate the
Christmas service. This usually meant
rousing a few sleepy heads.
One year, on the eve of the Christmas
service, the senior students loudly
proclaimed at dinner in the refectory
that the frosh were “wimps” and
wouldn’t get them out of bed. Simply
locking their doors would do the trick.
The frosh had a better idea; they
simply lifted the doors off the hinges of
a few selected seniors while they were
away after dinner.
The senior class showed up for the
Christmas service.

Who knows.
One day in the late 1950’s, we awoke
to find the flag of the Irish Republican

soul to have climbed the steeple! One
student was a staunch Irishman, and
might have known something about it...

LIBRARY
The silcox memorial library –
from the ’60s through the present
Huron alumni have fond memories
of the Library as a place for study,
quiet reflection and meeting other
students. The Silcox Memorial
Library at Huron features a firstclass
collection which is enhanced
each year through the acquisition
of new books, periodicals and
electronic databases focused on the
needs of Huron students and their
course work.
Indeed, the Silcox Memorial Library
has come a long way from using card
catalogues for finding books and
print indexes for locating journals.
The introduction and expansion of
information technologies over the years
has made the system of retrieving and
disseminating information a faster and
more convenient, user-friendly process.
“Web-based shared library catalogues
provide students access to all books
and resources at Western and the
affiliate libraries,” says Pamela MacKay,
Director, Library and Information
Services at Huron University College.
“Access to extensive online databases
and e-resources is also available.”
Librarians continue to interact with
students in a variety of ways, combining
the traditional reference desk service
with classroom teachings and online
tutorials. Says Pamela: “Despite the
availability of numerous materials
online, e-books, and Google books, the
number of books which circulate from
Huron’s library has increased by more

than 15 per cent since the year 2000.”
“The changing physical space of
the library reflects advancements
in technology as well as the way
students and faculty access and use
information,” adds Pamela. In 2003
a new addition was constructed to
house an Information Commons with
20 computer workstations, a reading
gallery and four group study rooms for
discussion and collaborative work.
The Reading Room, named after
Marion Orser ’91 and ’97, who made
a gift to support the 2003 Library
expansion, has many happy memories
for Huron alumni. While the Reading
Room retains its special character and
ambience, with long reading tables,
the Mezzanine above, and a stunning
view of the valley below, the room now
includes wireless Internet.
Indeed, the special ambiance of the
Library remains as true now as in years
past, as the following comments from
students suggest in a recent survey
when they were asked to comment on
the Library:
“It’s very quiet and calming.”
“The main room is gorgeous.”
“It’s quiet – a good place to focus on
study.”
“The reading chairs are extremely
comfortable and even preferable over
the residence beds!”
“It’s a beautiful clean cozy place to be
and very conducive to learning.”
“Books, books, books…a treasure
trove of learning at your fingertips.”
“I love the comfy chairs and how the
staff remember who you are and are
willing to help you with anything.”
“One – I love the friendly staff,
they are always smiling. Two – I love
the huge windows that let in so much
sunlight.”

In March 2010, Jen came back to
Huron to give a talk to current students.
Below are excerpts from her April 8,
2010 blog post regarding her perceptions
of coming home to Huron and visiting
her favourite place on campus, the
Library.
last week i Time Travelled...
I was shown the library... the place
where I spent hours and days and weeks
of my life throughout those four years.
The main reading room was completely
untouched, thank goodness -- it had
big rich dark wood bookshelves and
partitions on the desk... and I loved it.
But then, outside of that room and
off to the side, where there used to be
the computer databases and (gulp) a
couple of old card catalogues still sitting
there, the WALL was gone and it had
been rebuilt out into this big high-tech
reading area. It was big and bright
with windows all over, and had been
built off the side of this beautiful stone
building, so the inside wall was actually
the former exterior of the college. It was
incredible.
Later, when I was on my own, I
headed back into the stacks... my
favourite place in the entire school.
Down in the bowels of the library
were the rows and rows of army green
metal shelves holding thousands of
books with their old paper smells. Oh
the days I spent here. On days where I
didn’t have classes I’d still drive across
town and just sit in these stacks from
morning ‘til night working on papers
and studying. As soon as I stepped into
the room, the smell of the books sent
me back in time.
(The stacks are) still gloriously old
and creaky, and the floors so rickety you
thought you were going to fall through.
As I wandered over to the periodical
section I saw those rows and rows of
same-coloured bound journals, where I
used to spend hours just standing in the
aisles balancing the journal on one arm
and my notes on the other (because I
didn’t want to take the extra minute to
just wander over to one of the desks).
I walked down one of these aisles with
my fingers caressing the binding on the
books. I still have dreams where I’m in
this place, so to actually be physically
back there was very exciting.

‘Best Books’
A new and ongoing feature on books which Huron faculty and
staff have identified as important, informative and/or favourite
books in their lives.
Paul nesbitt-larking
If there is a single academic book that I return to again
and again, it is Anthony Giddens’s The Constitution of
Society. This detailed and finely-tuned book represents the
culmination of the theoretical life-work of a great social
scientist, and is foundational to much of what I try to do
in my own work. Throughout the book Giddens outlines
his Theory of Structuration, a necessarily incomplete but
masterful attempt to bring together the best of structuralism
with sociologies of human agency.
I love novels, particularly Victorian novels. My favourite is
George eliot’s Middlemarch. This is a novel that has always
held my close attention, from the first time I read it as an
undergraduate until the present. I admire the way that eliot
works up and down the scale from the closest intimacy to the
national political issues of the day on the public stage. As a
political psychologist, it has everything for me: struggles of
passion, intimacy and trust, the tension between duty and
fulfillment, the politics of institutions, petty greed and heroic
altruism, the crudeness of early democracy and the cruelties
of political life.
As a parent, I treasure special books that I have shared with
my children. Among my favourites is Kenneth Grahame’s The
Wind in the Willows. It works for me because it worked so
well for my children. They embraced its sense of warmth and
security balanced with just enough adventure and excitement
to be fun. I think the book works so well for kids because it
is close to their level, both literally - in the riverbank setting -
and metaphorically. And of course reading the book out loud
kept me in touch with my British background as I invested
each of the characters with a regional or class-based accent.

Books are the stuff that my dreams are made of. I imagine
plays, I sing music but the scenes that lull me to sleep at night
are embedded in those pieces of prose that explore the rich
emotional and ethical complexities that are for me the true
jewels of life.

I quickly made up a long list of about eight books that
have stayed with me over the years, as reference points
in my ethical dilemmas, as theoretical touchstones in my
professional life or as emotional balm for my troubled soul.
However, it was more difficult once I had to narrow it down
to the final three.
So, I did what the producers of “Canada Reads” do: I
consulted a panel of nine articulate women friends (i.e. my
book club), and I let them argue the pros and cons of each
book on my list. While the final choices are very personal,
they do reflect our communal deliberations.
My first choice was Pride and Prejudice. I read this when
my husband Peter (who teaches english at Huron) and I were
living in Iran. It’s a book about manners and ritual, but it’s
more than Mr. D’Arcy (the tall, dark and handsome stranger
in a wet shirt). The book is really about seeing the person
behind the manners, and the need to be understood
that is fundamental to all our lives. It’s also about
patience and the acceptance of things that can’t be
changed. elizabeth waits for what she wants and
endures the pain of her errors in judgement as
gracefully as possible. This has helped me when
I have erred in my dealings with people.
My second choice was Obasan by Joy Kogawa.
Having spent five satisfying years in Japan, I
understood both the feeling of being “the other” and
the cultural values that would dictate the reaction
of the Japanese community to their internment. I
sympathized with that inter-cultural girl Kogawa
creates, who is both Canadian in rebelling
against injustice and Japanese in accepting her
grandparents’ silence for many years. The anger of
the book became my anger, and it strengthened
my resolve not to let blind prejudice cloud my
dealings with my international students.
everyone deserves to be treated with
dignity --- even when they have done
things that are incomprehensible to me
and seem misguided or destructive.
My final choice is a book called Writing
Without Teachers by Dr. Peter elbow. This is a
seminal book on the teaching of writing and
it keeps me humble when I teach students
about academic writing. In the book elbow
asserts that everything that students really need to know
about academic writing is common sense. Writers don’t need
teachers to teach them how to write. They learn to write by
writing. The only other thing they need is good feedback
from honest peers who will tell them what seems clear and
logical in their writing and what doesn’t. My task as a writing
teacher, therefore, is to create conditions that encourage
students to take a reflective stance towards what they read
and what they write. I can’t teach them how to write – only
they can do that.

FACULT Y
Jim crimmins receives Huron’s
award for excellence in
Undergraduate Teaching
Dr. James E. Crimmins, Professor of Political Science at Huron, received
the Award of Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching for the 2009-10
academic year. The award recipient is determined each year by his or
her fellow members in the Faculty of Arts and Social Science. Jim was
honoured by the Executive Board of the College at its June 24, 2010
meeting, which he addressed.
My thanks to Principal Lumpkin for
her kind words of introduction, and
to John Leitch and the members of the
executive Board for this invitation to
myself and Johanne, my supportive and
ever-patient companion, who has her
own extremely demanding career in the
Ministry of education.
Several months ago the Globe
& Mail published an article by the
noted University of Toronto political
philosopher, Clifford Orwin, in which
he complained of the increasingly heavy
workloads carried by the professoriate
at Canadian universities.
Professor Orwin offered this advice
to parents and students: that if what
you are looking for is an education at
the hands of professors who embody
the traditional model of the “scholarteacher”,
professors who are esteemed
in their fields of study and who are
dedicated teachers, teachers who
channel their research in the arts and
humanities into small classes in which
students fully engage in the experience
of higher learning … then you must go
to a reputable liberal arts college in the
United States.
According to Professor Orwin, such
an intimate and inspiring education
is not available north of the border,
where professors are weighed down

“My annoyance at the Globe’s indifference to my
own measured, eloquent but unequivocal letters was
compounded when the Globe published a response
from an elderly former student (university not named),
who insisted that the entire problem would be solved
by banning power-point presentations by professors in
the nation’s classrooms. Good luck with that!”
by administration, oppressed by large
classes, and encouraged by their
institutions to focus on research rather
than teaching.
A few weeks after the publication
of Professor Orwin’s article the Globe
followed up with an editorial on the
same topic, bemoaning the deficiencies
of an undergraduate education in
Canada, where scholars have vacated
the nation’s classrooms, and students
graduate with little regard for the
quality of their education, particularly
when compared with the ratings of
students in the United States.
On both occasions I wrote letters
to the Globe in response. The first
letter highlighted the myopia inherent
in Professor Owin’s view of higher
education in Canada. A desk is indeed
a dangerous place from which to view
the world (Mark Twain), especially it
would seem if that desk is located in
the Department of Political Science
on St George Street – no doubt high
rise apartments, office buildings, and
numerous hotels obscure the horizon.
In my second letter to the Globe I
pointed to Huron’s stellar ranking in
student satisfaction surveys, both in
comparison to Canadian and American
universities, to illustrate that Canada’s
liberal arts institutions are a clear
exception to the editor’s complaints.
Neither letter was published by the
Globe … though Principal Ramona
Lumpkin had rather more luck with her
letter subtly questioning the accuracy of
the editor’s remarks. The interventions
of Principals in public debate obviously
count for more than the views of lowly
professors!
My annoyance at the Globe’s
indifference to my own measured,
eloquent but unequivocal letters was
compounded when the Globe published
a response from an elderly former
student (university not named), who
insisted that the entire problem would
be solved by banning power-point
presentations by professors in the
nation’s classrooms. Good luck
with that!
The point of relating this is to let you
know that Huron’s two faculties boast
a veritable army of “scholar-teachers”
– truly outstanding and dedicated
teachers, who are innovative and widely
published scholars in everything from
contemporary China, global justice and
environmental issues, Bible studies,
the politics of cities in Canada and
elsewhere, and issues facing native
communities, to Asian, French, and
english literature in a variety of periods
and places, child psychology, African-
Canadian history, and much, so very
much more.
Huron students benefit from
this expertise first-hand from their
professors inside and outside the
classroom. Our professors teach
formally in the lecture halls and
seminar rooms, and informally in
their offices and in the corridors
and open spaces at the College.
Professors model for their students
what it means to be engaged in critical
thinking and the acquisition of new
knowledge. They involve students in
their research projects, and fill the
roles of mentor, career adviser, and –
in the course of time – friend. These
are the unambiguous gifts of a Huron
education.
As a testimony to the strength of
my conviction that Huron offers the
very best undergraduate education
in the arts and social sciences in
Canada, as you heard Ramona say, my
precocious son Dylan will attend Huron
in September (rather than Western,
Queens, or McGill, to each of which
he received early admission), to read
Philosophy, Politics, and French, and to
reap the rewards of all that Huron has
to offer.
Naturally, Dylan has chosen to stay in
the residence furthest from my office,
though I expect to see him once a week
with his laundry and to make his usual
overtures on the theme of why he needs
more money!
I am truly honoured to be this year’s
recipient of the Huron teaching award,
in the full knowledge that any number
of my colleagues in the Faculties of
Theology and Arts and Social Science
would be equally worthy recipients.
Thank you.

deliberate, by
design
By The Revd Canon
William G. Cliff
Rector of the Collegiate Chapel of
St. John the Evangelist, Chaplain to
Huron University College and Anglican
Chaplain to UWO.
I hear the strangest things when I
am working at my desk at Huron
University College.
I am not speaking just of strangeness
of people’s comments, but also
the assumptions that underlie the
comment. For example, while working
away in my office on one of those rare
afternoons when my office was empty
of students, two young women walked
past my open door on their way out
the front doors of the college. Their
conversation was in full flight about
plans for the weekend and who was
going to be where, and what might
happen when one suddenly said, with a
level of attempted irony in her voice:
“How Random is it that there is a
Chapel here?”
And I, unable to resist the quick reply,
called out from my desk,
“Not random at all, in fact it was built
quite deliberately!”
My humour was lost on the ladies in
question.
There is more to this story than meets
the eye. The Chapel is a busy place,
it has prominence in the building, it
is marked by magnificent windows,
a steeple, woodwork and wide open
doors.
To the eye of the “churched” it simply
shouts “CHURCH” and identifies the
College as connected to Church. But for
some reason, the language of symbol
and architecture which is so rich a part
of our heritage is as lost on some folks
as noticing the 40 or 50 instances of a
Coca-Cola sign we see every day. They
have become immune to the language
which the church speaks, because the
language of symbol they speak is one
of brand names, product placement,
popularity and focus group – not the
language of architecture, art, light and
transcendence.
The Chapel is an opportunity – its
strangeness to unchurched eyes is not
the liability that some might think. The
conversations I have had with young
people in that space are wondrous
examples of dialogue with the world:
“What’s that?” pointing at the font,
“What’s that?” pointing at the Altar,
“What’s that?” pointing at the Oils in
their Aumbry.
Patiently answering these questions
finally gets me to the territory where I
can share the depth of the Gospel with
them as they finally get to the question
“Why?” Why be baptised? Why go to
communion? Why kneel? Why Pray?
Why sing hymns? Why believe?
Then the conversation begins and the
talk of brands and focus groups and
marketing melts away as they begin to
discover an understanding of the world
that is not based on what they buy, how
much they consume, or whether or not
they have the “latest” of anything.
We talk of love, of sacrifice, of sin
and of redemption, and they begin to
ask even more questions of “Why?”,
and the people who sacrificed and gave
the resources to see this place built are
vindicated in their vision.
The Chapel at Huron? Not Random at
all. It was built quite deliberately.

ALUMNIB O OKS
new novel by Huron grad Gary
mccauley includes college stories
Sandy McDougal attends Huron College in the 1960s. While here, he
participates in various aspects of College life including building a brick
wall across a road, briefly dates a girl who lives in Brough Hall, and
idolizes John Gordon Rowe.
Why does Sandy attend Huron?
“Because I did,” says Huron alum
Gary McCauley ’63. That’s the simple
explanation of why he wrote the main
character in Faith of
our Fathers as a Huron
student.
“Academically and
contextually it was just
an absolute wonderful
time of growing up.
I wouldn’t be the
wonderful person
I am today without
attending Huron College!” he says with
a smile.
Faith of our Fathers is a sequel to
Gary’s earlier book, Soldier Boys. In
Faith of our Fathers, Sandy grows up
with a father who returned from World
War II suffering from what was then
called ‘shell shock’ but is now referred
to as post-traumatic stress disorder – a
theme interwoven throughout, as the
book examines how those returning
home with invisible wounds are just as
damaged as those returning home with
visible ones.
The warrior archetype fighting
injustice as well as the Parsifal / Holy
Grail myth is heavily employed within
the tale, Gary says, but throughout the
background is Huron, including the
Huron chant, Huron characters and
Huron pranks.
As the book explains, the lack of
fast-drying cement is the only reason
the wall wasn’t a permanent facet right
down the middle of the street and
blocking traffic. “It is a true story,” he
says. “As it’s told in the book it’s true.
Names have been changed to protect
the innocent,” Gary says with a laugh.
The book is autobiographical in
various elements including, of
course, the Huron references.
Gary says portraying John
Gordon Rowe in the best possible
light was paramount. “He was
quite a mesmerizing character and
a caring guy too. You got caught
up. He was a performer (but) it
wasn’t phony,” he says. “I don’t
think you could find anyone at
Huron at that time who has a bad
thing to say about him.”
The character Sandy “worshipped
at the feet of The Rev. John Gordon
Rowe” – an apt description of Gary’s
feelings towards the man as well.
Dr. William Blissett and Fr Tom
‘Father Fluff ’ Harris are also included
in the book. Two of Gary’s Huron
friends are acknowledged – Len Owen
’62 and Kim MacKendrick ’63 – both of
whom read rough drafts.
Gary says Huron professors were
much more than just teachers – they
took the time to take students under
their wings and mentor them. “It made
an enormous difference in our lives,”
he says.
Gary is currently working on the
third and final book in the trilogy called
Closing Time.

excerpt from Faith of our Fathers (pg. 149)
One by one, the operatives slipped out into the frosty night and made
their way to the assembly point under the bridge spanning the Thames
River just inside the UWO campus where they waited, hardly daring to
breathe, for the gendarmes to pass over.
When a whispered “all clear” was sounded, the work began. One
crew mixed cement while the other hauled concrete blocks, cement and
blocks purloined from a nearby campus construction site. In a little over
thirty minutes, the mission was accomplished and history made.
Where once the bridge access to the main campus had been free and
clear, it was now barred by a five-foot-high wall stretching across two
traffic lanes, while on the wall a sign, hastily spray-painted in black,
boldly proclaimed, “Welcome to the Western Sector.”

ALUMNIAWARD
Janice (Potter) macKinnon ’69
2009 Huron alumni award of distinction recipient
In appreciation of Janice MacKinnon ’69
By Neville Thompson
Congratulations to Dr. Janice MacKinnon, Class of ’69, the recipient of the Huron
Alumni Award of Distinction in 2009. The annual award recognizes outstanding
professional achievement and community service on the part of Huron alumni,
and was presented to Dr. MacKinnon at Huron’s Homecoming celebration on
October 3, 2009. The entire Huron community congratulates Dr. MacKinnon in
receiving this award.
Janice MacKinnon is a professor of fiscal policy at the University of
Saskatchewan, Chair of the Institute for Research on Public Policy (IRPP), and
Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. She has an Honours B.A. from Huron
University College, and a M.A. and PhD from Queen’s University. Between 1991
and 2001 she was a cabinet minister in Saskatchewan and held various portfolios,
including Finance Minister from 1993-1997. She is the author of three books, The
Liberty We Seek, While the Women Only Wept, and Minding the Public Purse.
Janice and i both arrived at Huron in 1965, she far better prepared to be a first-year student than i to be a first-year instructor.
Having better students than oneself is a common experience which is both intimidating and inspiring. As long as i could hold
Janice’s attention in History 20 in the great Hall, i knew that i must be keeping up the illusion of competence.
A couple of years later she took another course in which i thought i knew a bit more and again helped to keep me up to the mark.
Her memory is surely playing her false in imagining that i ever teased her about spending too much time on bridge in the SAC rather
than on history.
it was a great compliment to all the historians at Huron that Janice became a professor and eminent Canadian historian, as
recognized by her fellowship in the royal Society of Canada. But her academic achievements are not the half of it. She has made
a great contribution to public life as minister of finance and other posts in the government of Saskatchewan and as a director and
chair of important corporations and institutes. taking her knowledge and wisdom outside the academy is another form of instruction
as well as a reflection of the highest ideals of Huron which she exemplifies.
As it says in the stained glass windows of the dining hall of the graduate college from which i came to Huron: ‘they that instruct
many in righteousness shall shine as the stars forever and ever’.
Janice is a star indeed and we all bask in her reflected glory. But she is also still the same vivacious and glamorous person she was
as a student when we, the Beatles and the whole world were young.
Dr. Neville Thompson taught history at Huron College from 1965 to 1970. He then went to McMaster University until 1973 when he
joined the history department at the University of Western Ontario (as chair until 1978), where he is now an emeritus professor.

I N T R I B U T e
remembering:
Barry Grant ’66
Barry
Grant,
Class of
’66, passed
away on
September
29, 2009.
Barry
never really
left Huron
after
graduation
despite
going on to graduate from Osgoode Hall and becoming a
highly successful lawyer, say his many friends. He continued
his association with the College in various ways, most recently
as the co-chair of The Campaign for Huron and also as a
member of the executive Board and trustee on the Huron
University College Foundation. He passed his love of Huron
to his three children all of whom are Huron graduates –
Tucker ’00, Britt ’02, and Morgan ’05.
“Barry Grant, aka BG, made sure his family and friends
dr. John s. winder
Dr. John S. Winder, Honorary Fellow of the College, former
College physician and lifelong College friend, passed away
on September 22, 2009. As Catharine Ridley, former College
Registrar noted, “He was an old-fashioned doctor – he was
there when we needed him.”
Miss Ridley remembers how when College students were
sick – before university-wide medical services – Dr. Winder
would make house calls. “The kids didn’t need to see him; he
came to them.”
Continuing his years of service to others, Dr. Winder
established The Maude and John Winder Bursary Fund
lived the Motto ‘Good Food, Good Fun, Good Friendship’
to the fullest. We did and we still do,” says Ann Kennedy
Kedwell ’66 and a close friend of Barry and Gayle Grant. “I
miss Barry’s challenging questions, his overactive curiosity, his
keen appreciation of tradition, his worldly travel stories and
more importantly, his good friendship.”
Barry made many friends over the years and his friendship
with Rea Godbold, Class of ’68, lasted over four decades. As
Rea remembers, “We met at Huron in ’65 – I was a Frosh and
he was Head Student. The purpose of the meeting may have
been a discipline matter.
“That initial encounter turned into a lifelong friendship that
included being a fellow traveler (Barry’s passion), fraternity
brother, godfather, best man, neighbour, squash partner,
confidant and mentor amongst numerous other things.
“Barry had the unique talent of engaging people. His circle
of friends was legion as was shown by the 1,400 people who
turned out to his funeral service. There wasn’t a weekend that
he and his wife Gayle (when they weren’t travelling
somewhere in the world) were not hosting or being hosted by
friends.
“Huron held a special place in Barry’s heart. All three
children are graduates of Huron and he continued to provide
his time and effort on various boards at the College.
“He was truly ‘One of A Kind.’”
which provides financial assistance for Huron students who
otherwise might not be able to attend university on the basis
of family income.
Sheldon Aaron, former Huron executive Board Chair,
recalls how Dr. Winder’s generosity spread to those all around
him. The Aarons and Dr. Winder and his wife, Maude, were
neighbours beginning in 1978 while living in Grand Bend,
Ontario.
“Right from the beginning, John was very affable and
friendly and made us feel most welcome,” says Sheldon.
“Over the years, I enjoyed many conversations with John and
he was always available to any of us in the neighbourhood
who had a medical problem.
“He was a good man and will be sadly missed.”

in this evocative book afford a glimpse into a way of
life in ireland that has all but disappeared.
Bill says, “Huron has always
been such an important part of my life and i am deeply grateful
for the kindness and encouragement afforded me by so many
friends and dedicated faculty during my time as a student at
the College. As i look back over the years my memories of Huron
do not diminish. Standing by my residence window, looking out
over the playing fields on that first term, i can still recall the
excitement i felt at the opportunity i had been given to embark
upon a journey of learning and personal growth at the college
of my choice, a journey that played such an important role in
preparing me to embrace the opportunities and challenges
that came my way in the course of my long career.”

susan and Phil
Baldwin move
to new Zealand
When something’s
meant to be, it’s
meant to be.
When the rev. Susan
Baldwin, the Faculty
of theology’s director
of Field education
and Co-ordinator
of Formation for
Ordained Ministry, travelled to new Zealand in April 2009,
she didn’t expect to come home with a new job but that’s
how things worked out.
“When i got to new Zealand in April i thought i’d just look
around” she says. “literally the day before i left i interviewed
and at the end of the day they (the parish) told me i had
the position.”
“the right place was open at the right time,” she says of her
new position as Vicar in the Parish of Malvern, diocese of
Christchurch, new Zealand.
Susan is ministering to 290 families spread between six
congregations. Accompanying her is her husband, the rev.
Philip Baldwin, Class of 2000, and their dog, Bo’sun.
the Baldwins’ roots with Huron run deeply. Susan originally
came to Huron as a student, graduating in 1986, but
returned in 1997 as the director of Field education,
coordinating student internships through the Faculty of
theology. Prior to the appointment of the rev. dr. William
J. danaher, Jr., as dean in 2008, Susan was the faculty’s
Acting dean for one year.
As is the case of his wife, the rev. Philip Baldwin came to
Huron as a student. Over the years, Phil coordinated 10
issues of Huron Horizons, the theology alumni newsletter,
supervised exams, worked in the Huron computer lab and
taught first-year Hebrew. He was also a minister part time
in london, Windsor and Sarnia in the Worldwide Church
of god.
Both Baldwins say Huron will forever have a special place in
their hearts – and not only because Huron is where they met
and fell in love.
“i did four other degrees in the ’70s at Western and i never
felt this kind of community,” says Phil. “the thing that i
looked forward to every day was coming and seeing folks i
knew and talking with them.”

remembering Bert finney
So many alumni fondly remember Bert Finney, a former teacher who
lived year-round in O’Neil Residence on First South during the 1960s,
’70s and ’80s. During his time at Huron, Bert took two honours English
courses each year, worked at the Porter’s Desk at the front of O’Neil and
checked meal passes at the Refectory.
Bert did so much more than work at the College. His kind, paternal
presence and willingness to listen endeared him to students, faculty and
staff. A long-standing fixture at Huron, Bert left a lasting impression of
fellowship and goodwill. He passed away in the mid-1980s.
Huron alumna Ngaire Lowndes ’76 recalls her memories of Bert and the
impact he made on her life at Huron.
When I started at Huron in September
1972, I soon became aware of the large,
shambling figure of Bert Finney as he
patrolled the corridors at night, or was
in the mill of students going between
classes, or on the door at the Refectory.
I assumed he was an eccentric
professor, since he was obviously
involved in study, who happened to live
‘on the job’, hence the late-night patrols.
I was a bit nervous of Bert. But then, as
a very inexperienced overseas student,
I was a bit nervous of most people at
Huron!
However, I got to know Bert, and
we had a lot of talks. I thought he
was a terrific asset to the College – a
kindly, wise, experienced ‘uncle’ for
the students in residence. I was really
surprised to learn that his life at Huron
was more of an accident than intention,
but I’ve always thought how very wise it
was of the College authorities to allow
Bert his residency. eccentric, sure. But a
huge asset to the community.
Without ever pulling rank or being
at all authoritarian, Bert was a superb
mentor. He knew so much, he’d DONe
so much, he’d been out there, earning a
living as a teacher. He had lived a long
rich life and now he was back at Huron
where he’d started, many years before,
giving back to the institution he loved.
It was a superb arrangement. I didn’t
know anyone who didn’t respect Bert.
even the rambunctious young males
would settle down when Bert loomed
over them and gently enquired as to the
reason for the noise. I know he’d never
have hurt a hair on their heads, but he
had that knack of being Large and Right
There, with an air of quiet authority,
that would calm down the silliest
gathering.
I used to get terribly homesick for
england and my family, then living in
Bermuda. It was very bleak at times,
knowing that I was a long journey
away from ‘home’. Talking to Bert
eased the homesickness, as he always
understood how I was feeling, and
would talk me through it. He was
the ‘Huron Uncle’, quietly there in
the background, shuffling from class
to class, checking meal tickets in the
Refectory, exchanging greetings with
every student.
None of us knew how old Bert was
– as teenagers, anyone over 40 looked
ancient, anyway – he just seemed
ageless, an unchanging part of Huron
that would always be there to chat to
and reminisce with. It was a real shock
to hear when he moved into a nursing
home, and then when I learned he had
died, I felt truly saddened.
So here’s to you, Bert, with
affectionate thanks for your time, your
friendship, and your guiding words.
You were a large part of what made
Huron a very special and nurturing
place for me.

THANK YOU!
YourGenerosity:
Huron alumni and friends showed their support for the College with donations totalling
$1,886,864 in the 2009 calendar year. Thank you!
Through your generosity, you help ensure that Huron remains a first-class community of
learning, distinguished by its commitment to students through small classes and teaching
excellence in a personal, supportive environment.
Donations were directed to the following areas:
39%
26%
Scholarships and bursaries for Arts and Social Science students:
Scholarships recognize and reward students for outstanding academic achievement. donations were made to
both the general Scholarship Fund to provide scholarships to first-year students and to named scholarships and
prizes in the form of capital funds (endowments) from which 4% of the assets are distributed each year to those
receiving the awards.
Bursaries provide financial assistance to students in need based on family income. thirty per cent of Huron
students qualify for this financial assistance based on government of Ontario guidelines. Currently, Huron is able
to meet only 30% of the financial need for which students qualify. Support for bursaries can make a significant
difference in a student’s ability to attend Huron.

Supporting Huron
and Saving Taxes
Gift of securities to Huron
University College can help keep
Huron a first-class community of
learning for its students while
saving you hundreds or thousands
of dollars in taxes.
As provided by the federal government’s May,
2006 budget, donors pay no capital gains tax
on a gift of securities such as stock or mutual
funds to a registered charity such as Huron
University College.
this can mean substantial tax savings
particularly on securities which have appreciated
in value over time.
the following example shows how, if you own
securities and wish to donate them to Huron,
considerable tax savings are possible:
Gift of securities to Huron
Market Value $25,000
Original Purchase Price $15,000
Capital gain $10,000
tax Payable on Capital
gain
$0
tax Credit from gift $11,250
net Cost of gift $13,750
the above assumes a marginal tax rate of 45 per cent.
Making a gift of securities to Huron can be
easily arranged. For more information on how to
make this possible, please contact Ken Andrews
at the co-ordinates listed on page two.
Additional information is available on the Huron
website at www.huronuc.on.ca in the Alumni
and Friends section. Please see the gifts of
Securities area where, for ease of access
convenience, visitors to this page can download
forms online to print and mail to the College
once the decision is made to make a gift of
securities.

Huron endowments:
The ‘gift that keeps on giving’
Many alumni and friends make gifts to Huron in the
form of an endowment to benefit an area of College
life which has particular meaning for them. An
endowment can be established in their name, their
family’s name, the name of a friend or to honour a
favourite professor, for example.
An endowment is ‘the gift that keeps on giving,’ benefiting
Huron students now and generations of Huron students to
come.
Put simply, an endowment is a capital fund which the
donor establishes that resides in The Huron University
College Foundation. each year, a percentage of one’s total
fund (currently 4%) is paid out towards the area of College
life which the donor chooses to support.
For example, a Library endowment of $10,000 provides
$400 each year for the Library to purchase books, periodicals
and electronic databases. The endowment over time increases
through investment growth and any additional donations,
thus providing growing support for the Library in the years
ahead.
each year we publish in the newsletter an updated directory
of endowments which have been established, plus profiles of
alumni and friends who have established endowments.
One of the most attractive features of endowments is that
they can be designated to support an area of the Huron
experience which has particular meaning to the donor
whether in arts and social science or theology – for example:
X a bursary to provide financial assistance to students
depending on family income
X a scholarship to recognize academic achievement
X academic programs such as academic chairs, lecture series,
community-based learning and international study abroad
X facilities such as the Library, and
X Huron’s Chapel and Chaplaincy.
Additional benefits to establishing an endowment:
X the donor receives an annual report from Huron on the
performance of the endowment and how the endowment
has supported students at Huron.
X endowments contribute to Huron’s financial well-being
and security, providing an ongoing stream of revenue in
support of the College’s programs and student life.
X endowments help attract students to Huron by providing
scholarship and bursary support, for example.
X endowments can be established with a gift of $5,000 or
more, depending on the area the fund supports. A gift to
establish an endowment can be made over a period up to
five years.
In addition, many donors arrange for a planned gift such as a
bequest in one’s will which can be directed to the endowment
they establish.
For more information on endowment opportunities at
Huron, please contact Ken Andrews at Huron at the coordinates
listed on page two of this newsletter.

establishing an endowment
five easy steps
1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Determine an area
of Huron life that has
particular meaning
or relevance to you
and that you wish to
support. examples
include a scholarship,
bursary an academic
award (for either
arts or theology
students), The Silcox
Memorial Library,
community-based
learning, student
volunteer service,
study abroad and the
Chapel.
Decide the
amount of your
gift. The minimum
to establish an
endowment is $5,000
(such as an academic
award) depending
on the area you
wish to support.
Alternatively
the minimum to
establish a bursary
or Library fund
is $10,000 and
a scholarship is
$30,000. Your gift
can be made over a
period of five years.
Thank you, Huron!
Choose the name of
your endowment.
An endowment can
be established in
your name, your
family name, or
perhaps in the name
of a Huron professor
you wish to honour.
Consider
establishing a
planned gift
(e.g. bequest in your
will) which can be
directed towards
your endowment.
Contact Ken
Andrews, executive
Director of the
Huron University
College Foundation,
to discuss your
options or for
assistance.
Ken’s co-ordinates
are on page two.
The programs and services which endowments support provide opportunities for an exceptional educational experience at Huron.
Students receiving financial support have written to donors to express their appreciation, as in the following examples:
“Your generosity permits me to attend a school of Huron’s calibre without accumulating onerous financial burden.
i cannot justly express in this note how greatly your bursary has been of help to me.”
“the bursary i was awarded this year has allowed me to concentrate on my studies and broaden my education.
i would like to sincerely thank you for helping me to reach my full potential and prepare for my future.”
“Without this financial assistance i would be unable to attend Huron. i am now immersed in full-time study and look
forward to the call to ordained ministry. Moreover, i feel part of the Huron family.”
“Huron is a place where i am challenged academically yet at the same time my faith has been built and strengthened.
the community of students here supports and builds into one another. it is an amazing place to be.”

leaving a special Gift to Huron University
college in Your will
Since its founding in 1863, Huron University College
has benefited from the commitment of its alumni
and friends in so many ways, allowing the College to
maintain its commitment to small classes, teaching
excellence and a supportive, community environment.
ust as Huron may have significantly influenced
your life, you have the opportunity to leave a
legacy as you shape the future of the College,
its students and programs through careful
financial planning.
Many individuals have helped the College
maintain its special character by making
a planned gift to Huron, such as leaving a
bequest in their will or designating Huron as
the beneficiary of a life insurance policy. In
addition to ensuring the long-term financial
strength of the College, donors of a planned
gift also benefit from significant tax advantages.
a properly planned gift can:
X Reduce or eliminate capital gains taxes.
X Generate a charitable income tax reduction.
X Provide a more substantial gift to Huron than you ever
thought possible.
Planned giving is meaningful to many people because it
allows them to make a significant gift to an area of the College
which is of particular importance to them. Areas include:
X academic chairs;
X scholarships and bursaries for either arts and social science
or theology students;
X The Silcox Memorial Library;
X community-based learning programs;
X international study grants; and
X campus preservation funds.
Alternatively, your gift may remain unrestricted and support
the area of the College with the greatest need.
Huron Heritage society
A planned gift can be established to support one of the
above areas such as a scholarship or bursary, in the form of
an endowment or capital fund. A percentage of the fund is
paid out each year, while preserving capital, to benefit Huron
students in ways such as those mentioned above. In this way
a planned gift can provide a continuing legacy to benefit
students at Huron University College – it’s the gift that keeps
on giving in your memory.
Many thanks to the members of the Huron Heritage Society
for their generosity, through their planned gifts, in keeping
Huron a special community of learning. A planned gift can be
made to Huron in one’s will or arranging for a life insurance
policy with Huron as the beneficiary.

The endowment can be established in your name, your family
name, or in honour of a favourite professor, for example.
Planned giving is often done in conjunction with estate
planning and is an attractive option for donors of all income
levels. eighty-five percent of planned gifts to Huron are in the
form of a bequest in one’s will, while beneficiary designations
of a life insurance policy make up most of the remaining
fifteen percent. Other types of planned gifts include charitable
gift annuities, charitable remainder trusts and charitable lead
trusts.

Providing opportunities for Huron students
now and in the future
Ken ’68, ’73 and mary lou
anderson ’72
Created in 2009, The
Ken and Mary Lou
Anderson Bursary
owes itself to a
snowstorm and the
related liberation and
relocation of a sleigh
from Dr. Morden’s
residence to the Chapel.
Ken, Class of ’68
and ’73 and Mary Lou,
Class of ’72, met, in fact
during the ‘liberation’ – and the shared shock that snow will
melt when brought inside leaving behind an inch of water
in the Chapel!
“Maybe the bursary was a result of delayed guilt,” jokes
Ken. “establishing the bursary just seemed like a very
natural thing to do. We were both brought up in households
where helping others and charitable donations was normal.
It’s an extension of our family backgrounds.”
Both children of Anglican clergy, Ken and Mary Lou
wanted to give back to the school where their love began
and also provide vital financial assistance for theological
students.
The couple have served Huron in various ways over the
years. Mary Lou was a member of the executive Board and
after Ken retired from parish ministry, he began working at
the College as the Faculty of Theology’s Interim Director of
Field education.
Ken knows Huron will always be a presence in their lives.
“Our roads always come back to converge at Huron College.
That’s where our heart is.”
sharon robertson mcKillop ’02
Sharon Robertson
McKillop has a unique
perspective on Huron.
She first came to the
College as a staff member
in 1985. With the
encouraging support
of Principals Charles
Jago and David Bevan
and Registrar Catharine
Ridley, Sharon registered
as a mature student and graduated in 2002, completing her
degree studies which began at Western in the mid-1970s.
A year prior to graduation, Sharon noticed a gap which
she hoped to rectify, by establishing an award to recognize
mature students. The Nelson Viglianti Memorial Mature
Student Award is given to a graduating mature student in
recognition of successful effort to balance family, education,
career and personal development goals.
“Balancing work, family and study time is a real juggling
act,” says Sharon, who is Director of Housing and Student
Life at Huron. “I know myself, trying to fit everything in was
difficult.”
Named after Sharon’s grandfather, the award recognizes
a special group of students. “The mature students add a
different outlook to the class and the discussions that take
place in the class,” Sharon says. And, she adds, mature
students have a different perspective than their youthful
counterparts, just as she does.
“As a staff member, mature student, and now an alumna,
you develop a deep appreciation for the Huron community
and how everyone is here to help the students.”

rose dotten ’69
When alumna Rose Dotten pictures
Huron she pictures flowers - specifically,
the daffodils that bloom each spring in
the woods behind Brough Hall. When
Rose began thinking of establishing
an endowment for Huron, the image
of the flowers – and the image of
rebirth, growth and renewal – led her
to establish The Rose Dotten Spring
Flower Fund.
“I wanted to reflect my interests
and my lifestyle. Something that
would be long lasting,” she says of her
endowment, which makes possible
the annual purchase of spring bulbs
which are planted on the grounds
of the College. “I think part of it
was something that was enduring.
Something that would come up every
spring to beautify the grounds.”
Rose also serves the College as a
member of the Huron University
College Corporation. establishing
an endowment is her way of giving
back and she encourages others to
do the same. Rose’s advice for people
considering creating an endowment?
Think about something that means
a great deal to you and let your
endowment to Huron reflect your
passion.
london life
Founded in London, Ontario over 135 years ago, today London Life helps almost
two million Canadians meet their financial security needs.
As part of its ongoing commitment to building stronger communities,
London Life funds many scholarships and bursaries across the country to help
students continue their education.
In 1999, the company established the London Life Fourth-Year Scholarship in
Management and Organizational Studies at Huron University College.
The scholarship is awarded to a student registered full-time at Huron with
the highest average in his or her third year of study in the Management and
Organizational Studies program, who is entering the program’s fourth year.
“This scholarship is an opportunity for us to support career paths and help
pave the way for the next generation of leaders,” says Jan Belanger, Assistant
Vice-President, Community Affairs for Great-West Life, London Life and
Canada Life. “These dedicated students have done outstanding work for three full
years. We’re pleased to support them in their final year, and help bring them one
step closer to realizing their goals.”
London Life has a long connection with the College, with many Huron alumni
working at the company. For example, Jeff Aarssen, from the graduating class of
1980, is now Vice-President of London Life’s Group Retirement Services division,
and also a member of Huron’s executive Board and its Golf Committee.
“I’m very proud of London Life’s involvement with the College and our
recognition of both the needs and excellence of Huron’s students,” says Jeff.
“As my alma mater over 30 years ago, Huron prepared me for a career in the
financial services industry. It is great to see the College is still very healthy and
stronger than ever.”
London Life is committed to supporting non-profit, charitable and community
organizations locally and across the country.
“Our support for the London Life Fourth-Year Scholarship in Management
and Organizational Studies is made available through our national corporate
citizenship program,” says Belanger. “It’s part of a vision we share as an Imagine
Caring Company to help build Stronger Communities Together.”
