36 mccauley : continued from page 35 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.” To purchase Faith of our Fathers please visit General Store Publishing House at www.gsph.com or visit www.amazon.com and type in G.F.

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. 37
