U N I V E R S I T Y C O L L E G EALUMNI MAGAZINEwww.uc.utoronto.ca/alumniIN TOUCHA Message from UC Alumni Association President Rachel Arbour (BA 1998 UC)It is my great pleasure that this issueof UC Magazine explores “LearningBeyond the Classroom.” No other themeso closely personifies my experiences atUniversity College, and it seems fitting asthis is my final message to you as presidentof the UC Alumni Association (UCAA).As a student, there was nothing I lovedmore than my experiences on the UC Litand as a don (often fuelled by coffee fromDiabolos). My affinity for UC has much to do with thoseafter-class activities, from Reznikoff’s pub to reading theGargoyle to watching the UC Follies and dancing at Fireball.As a student, I became involved for the fun and friendships.As a lawyer, I realize that through co-curricular activities, Ilearned how to run meetings, manage time, plan events andsocialize with clients, not to mention the skills acquired asan executive of an incorporated student council with a largebudget and employees.I still turn to UC, through the UCAA, for manyexciting experiences beyond the classroom. As a mentorin the UC Career Mentorship Program, I have had theopportunity to meet many bright UC students and alumnimentors. Through the Historical Society I have attendedlectures on UC’s rich heritage, most recently ElizabethHulse’s presentation on Sir Daniel Wilson. Reznikoff’sReaders, the UC book club, has attracted excellent authorssuch as Nino Ricci, Edeet Ravel and Alissa York to discusstheir latest books. And, of course, there was our successfulWinter Social during which Prof. David Rayside sharedhis knowledge of UC’s architecture.I hope that you will join fellow UCAA members atone of our many events and consider getting involvedas a volunteer or mentor. If you are interested or havean idea for UCAA clubs or activities, please contact theAlumni and Development Office at (416) 978-2968 oruc.alumni@utoronto.ca. I look forward to your emailsand letters and to seeing you at our upcoming events. ENDLook for this icon throughout the magazineand go online for additional photos, stories andinteractive features at www.alumni.utoronto.ca/ucA Message from UC Principal Sylvia BashevkinThis issue of UC Magazine isdedicated to a dimension of Collegelife that has captivated students,faculty, staff, alumni and friendsfor generations – namely, experiencesbeyond the classroom. From the foundingof the Lit in 1854, now Canada’s oldestdemocratically elected student government,the UC community has placed a premiumon co-curricular engagement that not onlyenriches the lives of undergraduates but also bridges our variousCollege estates. This tradition continues through the 2009-10academic year, when UC faculty and staff have worked closelywith the Lit leadership on Coffee with the Profs, a speaker seriesthat brings students and professors together to discuss sharedresearch interests. Instead of only meeting faculty in a formalcourse setting, UC students now have regular opportunities tospeak informally with scholars working across disciplines in arelaxed, informal environment. During recent years, dozens ofalumni mentors have assisted UC students who want to pursuecareers in fields as diverse as medicine, law, communicationsand non-governmental organizations, both through oursuccessful one-on-one UC Career Mentorship Program as wellas a series of very popular student/alumni roundtable sessions.These initiatives supplement many longstanding Lit activitiesthat alumni fondly remember, including Orientation, Fireball,intramural sports, UC Follies theatrical productions, SilhouetteDance Company events and the UC Residence Council.Since the opening of UC’s Commuter Student Centre(CSC) in September 2007, the College community hasbenefited in particular from an energetic Lit Off-CampusCommission that uses this new space in innovative ways.Pizza lunches, movie evenings and an annual birthday party tocelebrate the CSC’s creation help to ensure that the David LeithLounge serves as a meaningful home away from home for theroughly 3800 current UC students who live off campus. TheCollege has continued to sponsor Tea and Cookies in the UCUnion every weekday afternoon, which draws upwards of 60students and faculty on a regular basis.Any discussion of life outside the classroom would beincomplete without some mention of the written word.Whether it’s the Gargoyle newspaper, UC literary magazinesor a rich array of student creative writing prizes, Collegeactivities in 2010 continue to build on our community’slong history of fostering fine poets, novelists and journalists,such as Simon Houpt (BA 1991 UC), who shares his UCwriting experiences in the feature article on page 10. I hopethis magazine issue inspires you to become more involved inthese fine co-curricular traditions, and in helping to buildnew ones!

U N I V E R S I T Y C O L L E G EALUMNI MAGAZINEwww.uc.utoronto.ca/alumniProf. Michael Wayne onCoffee with the Profs“The Coffee with the Profs seriesis an example of how the differentelements of UC—faculty, students,staff and alumni—come togetherto form a single community.It afforded me the welcomeopportunity to meet with studentsbeyond the classroom, and toshare with them my passion forwriting. I chose to talk not aboutmy scholarly research but aboutmy first novel, Lincoln’s Briefs,an historical satire on nationalidentities, but also, I should confess,a satire on university life.”Michael Wayne is a professor ofAmerican history at U of T and afellow of UC. Lincoln’s Briefs(Canadian Scholars’ Press, 2009)is his first novel. He comes by histalent for humour as the son of thelate Johnny Wayne (BA 1940 UC)of the iconic, UC-bred comedy teamWayne and Shuster.Campus Life TodayCoffee with the ProfsFacilitating student-faculty interactionoutside the classroomFor more than thirty years,UC students have enjoyedfraternizing over tea andcookies on weekday afternoonsin the UC Union. Even though it offersa break from the rigours of the schoolday, the Tea and Cookies hour—asanyone who ever attended will know—tends to assume an academic tone, andstudents can be overheard debatingcourse content with a confidenceunique to undergraduates.Today at Coffee with the Profs,the contemporary cousin of Tea andCookies, students have the chanceto engage in similar discussions withfaculty members. Launched in the fallof 2009, the Coffee with the Profs seriesfacilitates student-faculty interactionoutside the classroom. At each session,faculty members discuss their currentprojects with students over a free coffeein the relaxed, informal setting of theJunior Common Room.The series engages both studentsand faculty in ways that courses simplycannot. Professors get the chance toshare with students the joys of researchdiscovery, which is not always possiblein the courses they teach. “It makesfaculty members and their work moreaccessible to students,” says ResidenceLife Coordinator Jason MacIntyre.For their part, students are able toparticipate in meaningful dialogue withworld-renowned scholars. “During aformal lecture in a large class, studentsmay not ask questions,” MacIntyreexplains. “Coffee with the Profs is anopportunity to ask those questions in asmall, informal setting.”Student Arman Hamidian, whohelps organize the series, agrees. "It’s afantastic medium that allows studentsto interact with professors outside of anacademic, 'serious' setting. Especially inthe first and second years when large classsizes can cause feelings of anonymity,” hesays, “the series gives students a chanceto see the personality behind the face ofteaching, and boosts their confidence toapproach professors."In addition to Coffee with theProfs, UC has in recent years introducedPopcorn with the Profs, which takesplace during Orientation and is a chancefor first-year students and professors tomingle, mitigating any jitters one groupmay have about the other. Both eventsare joint initiatives of University Collegeand the UC Lit, and reflect the College’scommitment to fostering communityacross the estates as well as co-curricularlearning opportunities. ENDCo-curricular Opportunities in UC’s Flagship ProgramsBoredom is not an option for studentsenrolled in UC’s flagship programs:Canadian Studies, Drama, HealthStudies and Sexual Diversity Studies.The valuable, co-curricular opportunitiesoffered by these unique interdisciplinaryprograms are unusual at the undergraduatelevel. Slackers, beware!Students in the Drama programenjoy the opportunity to participatein internationalized course modules,which in 2009 saw them attend a tricitytheatre festival in Poland. This year,students will travel to Scotland to critiqueperformances at the Edinburgh FringeFestival. The program also hosts visitingprofessional actors and theatre critics fortalks and workshops.The Sexual Diversity StudiesStudent Union organizes a majoracademic conference each spring.Sexual Diversity Studies students alsocontribute to SexText, the blog on sexand sexuality recently launched by theprogram and available on its website atwww.uc.utoronto.ca/sextext.The hands-on, community-basedresearch projects that constitute an integralpart of the Health Studies curriculumallow students to develop advancedresearch skills while making a differencein the health of a local population. Todate, Health Studies students haveconducted research in places as diverse asCuba, Zambia and inner-city Toronto.Finally, students in CanadianStudies can join their renewed studentunion, which is currently working toestablish an undergraduate journal, andhave the option to pursue independentresearch through the program’s fourthyearsenior essay course.

Thelecture was followed by a VIP reception where guests had the opportunityto meet Ralph Nader and Shirley Douglas. ENDHeritage Society LuncheonThe UC Heritage Society Luncheon, a dual celebration of plannedgiving donors to the College and the 150th anniversary of theopening of UC for classes in 1859, was held in Croft ChapterHouse on November 4, 2009. Professor Emeritus Peter Richardson,principal of UC from 1977 to 1989, gave an illustrated talkon the early history of the College—the building, theinstitution, the architect, the people and the city of30,000 for which it was a visual anchor.With the help of archival photographs, Prof.Richardson highlighted features of the College whichsurvived the calamitous fire of 1890. Showing copiesof the architectural drawings, he pointed out sketchesthat had been penciled in over the original plans, someof which represented significant alterations to UC’s design.Principal Sylvia Bashevkin and student Keenan Dixon deliveredintroductory remarks to the group of 60 donors and friends. After theseminar, guests mingled over lunch and an impressive display of architecturaldrawings, borrowed from the collection of Prof. David Rayside. END5

It hasenriched my overalluniversity experienceand made me feelpart of the largerUC community.”University College co-curricular lifeopens student minds to new possibilitiesIt’s a snowy January afternoon, andUniversity College’s Junior CommonRoom (“JCR”) is humming with an energythat would be familiar to any alum fromthe past 80 years. The creaking tables andleather couches are filled to capacity, as usual.Someone strums a guitar, rehearsing fortonight’s coffee house. A half dozen studentstalk in line at the Diabolos counter, whileGargoyle managing editor Emily Sommerspauses work on her laptop as someone fillsher in on some urgent gossip. A steadystream of undergraduates stomp snow offtheir boots and greet friends before headingto the tiny corner area office that houses theoffice of the University College Literary andAthletic Society (“the Lit”). They’re here topurchase advance tickets for Fireball, theLit’s annual (and hotly anticipated) formal.Dating back to 1854, the Lit is Canada’soldest democratically elected studentgovernment. Every full and part-timeUniversity College student is a member ofthe society, which is funded through tuitionlevies and fundraising activities. As stewardsof student life at University College, the Lit’selected officers carefully allocate budgetsand oversee the wide range of social, culturaland athletic offerings at UC, includingintramural sports, Fireball, Orientation, theGargoyle newspaper, the UC Review literarymagazine, the UC Follies musical theatrecompany, and the UC Water Dragons,one of the top dragon boat teams on theCanadian university circuit. Combinedwith support for residence and off-campusBy Kathleen Sanduskystudents, these co-curricular opportunitiesare fundamental to the richness of studentexperiences at University College.Staffing the Lit desk on this day is Spiritand Communications Commissioner DJSison. He chats with students (he seems toknow them all) as he deftly manages briskFireball sales. Social interaction of thisscale hasn’t always come so easily. “When Icame to Canada from the Philippines I gotinvolved in politics at high school almostright away,” says Sison. “But when I got toU of T, it was so much bigger than my highschool, and I found it intimidating. I didn’tget involved at first; I was just adjusting.But I was excited to meet these people whothink really deeply about everything. So insecond year, I decided to get involved inthe Lit.” Now in his fourth year studyingecology and evolutionary biology, zoologyand anthropology, Sison holds down twopart-time jobs and still manages to devote10 hours a week to the Lit. He expects hisefforts to pay off: “I’m learning about publicrelations, as well as how to manage mytime. I think it will all be useful in my worksomeday.”Through a series of budget meetings,UC student leaders allocate funding forCollege clubs and activities. They learn howto read financial statements, record minutesand set policies, manage conflict and balancetheir time and personal responsibilities.They do it all with the support—but notthe direction—of Dean of Students NonaRobinson and her staff.below left: My Definition is a leadership retreat designed for first year, off-campus UC students.

UC frosh (in red) and Orientationleaders (in yellow) visit the ArtGallery of Ontario I UC Lit“The level of responsibility and autonomy our studentcouncils have is really unique to Canada, and it’s somethingwe should celebrate,” says Robinson. “At UC we set ourexpectations of our students quite high, and they meet andfrequently exceed them. We don’t hand-hold, but we’resupportive. The Lit manages a significant amount of money,and they do it responsibly and well. They take considerabletime and care in their funding deliberations. They learnto manage conflict, to assign and accept responsibilities,to take initiative—and because these skills can be broadlyapplied to just about anything that people might want to dolater in life, their co-curricularinvolvement will certainly beextremely useful to them aftergraduation.”“I’m so glad I got toexperience extracurricular lifeat University College,” saysLyndsay Anderson (BA 2005UC), who received a bursaryin third year, allowing her toremain engaged as a studentdespite financial strain. Herongoing involvement was so exemplary that an annual awardfor student engagement was created in her name. “My accessto leadership opportunities at University College taught meso much about myself and others, about community andtime management and being part of something that’s biggerthan yourself,” says Anderson, now residence life manager atDalhousie University. “Whenever I meet up with a studentwho for whatever reason—financial pressures or familyobligations—doesn’t have time for campus life besidesacademics, I feel really badly for them. They’re missing outon a wonderful opportunity to grow and learn.”Besides the Lit, University College offers many otheropportunities to try on new skills. Student journalism is oneof them. Simon Houpt (BA 1991 UC) was for a decadethe New York arts correspondent for the Globe and Mail;he recently returned to Toronto as the paper’s advertisingand marketing reporter. He credits a spur-of-the-momentdecision to write for the Gargoyle as the launch of hiscareer. “Journalism wasn’t really on my radar,” says Houpt,“My extracurricular life atUniversity College helped toteach me that when giventhe opportunity, we have thecapacity to come together tobring about positive changein our community”who was a drama major at UC. One day hewandered into the Gargoyle office, hopingto get media credentials for free theatretickets. The experiment changed his life.“Looking back, it’s very clear to me thatwere it not for the Gargoyle, I would nothave the career that I have. It all startedthere.” Houpt wrote for the Gargoyle for ayear, then moved to the Varsity, eventuallybecoming arts editor. “University is alwaysa heady time, but this experience certainlyhelped me to figure out who I was and whatI wanted to do. Those five years really made me, in largepart, who I am today. They gave me my career and explodedmy perceptions, altered my view of the world—and onlypart of that was in the classroom.”Currently posted in Pakistan as a protection delegatefor the International Committee of the Red Cross, JessieThomson (BA 2003 UC) has worked as a senior policyadvisor on refugees and internally displaced persons forCanada’s Department of Foreign Affairs and InternationalTrade. After earning an MSc from the London School ofEconomics, Thomson created a short documentary film in2008 entitled Home Free, aboutthe experiences of Burundianrefugees in Tanzania. “Forcedmigration is just about theworst thing that can happen toa person,” explains Thomson,recalling an insight she first gainedwhile at University College. As theLit’s outreach commissioner, shewas responsible for administeringthe World University Serviceof Canada student refugeeprogram. Working closely with Arash Wared, an Afghanrefugee, Kincardine-born Thomson found her calling.“Growing up in a small town, I had never before metsomeone who had experienced such things,” reflectsThomson. “Meeting Arash was a life changing experience.Here was someone who had lived through unimaginableexperiences, and yet he was this lovely guy who had thesame kind of worries about family and love and career that Ihad. This was when I really gained my first insight into ourshared humanity.”“My extracurricular life at University College helpedto teach me that when given the opportunity, we have thecapacity to come together to bring about positive changein our community,” adds Thomson, who also served asLit president in her final year at University College. "Wehad the benefit of an absolutely fundamental experience ofstudent democracy. I have so many fond memories of UC asa fantastically open, inclusive and nourishing environment.It’s an amazing haven in the world.” END10 U N I V E R S I T Y C O L L E G E A L U M N I M A G A Z I N E S P R I N G 2 0 1 0

UC HISTORY 101U N I V E R S I T Y C O L L E G EALUMNI MAGAZINEwww.uc.utoronto.ca/alumniThe Happy DecadeStudent Life at UC in the 1950sThe UC Historical Society recently hosted a seminarby the illustrious Martin Friedland (BComm1955 UC), University Professor of Law Emeritusand author of The University of Toronto: A History.Prof. Friedland’s reflections upon his experiences as a UCstudent and president of the Lit in the 1950s delighted anaudience of College alumni, students and friends.Student life in the 1950s was quite different from whatit is now. There were only about 12,000 students on theUniversity of Toronto campus in those years. According toProf. Friedland, “It was good to be a student in the 1950s …There was neither the seriousness of the post-war veterans,nor the intensity of the students of the 1960s. This was theapolitical, silent generation of students who attended footballgames, spent hours each day playing bridge, and were notparticularly worried about their future” (The University ofToronto: A History, page 382).An entire chapter in Prof. Friedland’sbook is devoted to the 1950s.Appropriately named “Easy Street,” itdescribes student life in the 1950s as“enlivened by drinking and studentpranks, particularly surroundinginitiations.” There were scavengerhunts to obtain advertising signs fromTTC streetcars, clashes between rivalcolleges and, “some students, allegedlyengineers, painted the word ‘Skule’ onarts buildings throughout the campus”(The University of Toronto: A History,page 384). Although these activitieswere all in good fun, it is not surprisingthat University officials were shockedby the behaviour of U of T students.But, what was our distinguished authordoing throughout all of this?In his memoirs, My Life in Crimeand Other Academic Adventures,Prof. Friedland reflects on how hebecame president of the UC Lit uponits centennial in 1954. “I probably wonthe election as president of the Lit fortwo principal reasons. The first was theelectoral speech that I made… I do notBy Victoria Hurliheyknow whether it is still the tradition, but in the early 1950sthe speeches consisted entirely of off-colour jokes… My joke,using language that is still not used in mixed company andwas even less used in those days, brought down the house.”At the end of Prof. Friedland’s presentation to the HistoricalSociety, a couple of students asked him to divulge thejoke, but much to their disappointment, he mischievouslydeclined.Alongside the frivolity of student life in the 1950s,significant changes to student politics were underway.Perhaps most notable was the amalgamation of the Women’sUndergraduate Association (WUA) with the Lit. The WUAstruggled for recognition as a governing body for most ofthe early twentieth century. This struggle is documented byDr. Charles Levi (BA 1992 UC) in his doctoral thesis, Wherethe famous people were? The origins, activities and future careersof student leaders at University College, Toronto, 1854-1973.continues on next page...The UC Lit 1954-55; Martin Friedland is seated in the first row, third from right I UC archiveswww.uc.utoronto.ca/alumni 11

U N I V E R S I T Y C O L L E G EALUMNI MAGAZINEwww.uc.utoronto.ca/alumnicontinued from previous page...Dr. Levi describes the amalgamation motion, passedon November 27, 1957 by a vote of 85-17, as having“proceeded without a hitch.” “A new constitutionwas drafted, and approved unanimously at a meetingof one hundred students in the Junior CommonRoom on January 23, 1958. From that point on, theLit consisted of a ten-person executive, five men andfive women, with joint control of all administrationof student activities at University College.” This wasindeed a triumph for women students and heraldedfurther efforts to end discrimination on campusduring the 1960s.The 1950s also saw sweeping changes to thephysical and cultural landscapes of the St. Georgecampus. It was a period of intense planning for therapid development that occurred in the 1960s, as theUniversity gradually took on an international flavour.Although the multicultural environment of 2010was not yet apparent, seeds of change were sown bythe 1951 establishment of Friendly Relations withOverseas Students, a group that sought to createlinks among students from different ethno-culturalbackgrounds.So, perhaps the 1950s were not entirely asinnocent and carefree a time as many believe.Many important steps were taken towards creatingthe socially diverse university that U of T is today.Nevertheless, it’s still a delight to hear about thelighter side of student life on “Easy Street.” Thank you,Prof. Friedland, for sharing your memories.

FolliesThen & NowThe UC Follies production of Urinetown (2009) I Luke SutherlandSince its creation in the 1920s, the student theatre companyknown as the UC Follies has formed a crucial part of studentexperiences at University College. From iconic comediansJohnny Wayne (BA 1940 UC) and Frank Shuster (BA 1939 UC)to modern-day entertainment powerhouse Lorne Michaels (BA1966 UC), Follies alumni have shaped the cultural landscape ofCanada and the world. Remarkably, the Follies’ legendary statushas persisted despite periods of hibernation as well as a changeaway from the vaudeville format of the early days, toward theBroadway musicals the troupe performs today. But the invaluablerole of the Follies experience, as alumni from across the years willtestify, has remained constant over time.As a Follies cast member from the late1930s, Frances Halpenny (BA 1940 UC)remembers a fanciful variety show basedon the three pillars of song, dance andcomedy. A contemporary of Wayne andShuster, she witnessed their unique brand ofsatirical, literary slapstick—and arguably, the humble, UC-basedbeginnings of the great Canadian tradition in sketch comedy.“That was certainly their forte,” she says, “and no doubt theystarted to get their act together in the Follies.” For her part,Halpenny says, the Follies “added an enormous amount to mystudent experience.”Judith McErvel (BA 1949 UC) fondly recalls her time asa member of the Follies during the late 1940s. Four dozen castmembers and crew prepared for months in advance of the shows,“It was absolutenonsense and weenjoyed it a lot”performed then as now at Hart House Theatre, but featuringoriginal song, dance and comedy routines written by the studentsthemselves. “It was absolute nonsense and we enjoyed it a lot,”she says, “but we had to work hard and practice like mad.” Inaddition to fostering creativity, discipline and teamwork, theFollies of yesteryear were a key social medium. “In those days,the University formed a large part of our social lives, which werecentered on the Follies,” she explains.According to current student and Follies member AidanNulman, the Follies today “is a whole other beast than it used tobe.” “A gaggle of students still spend months practicing to get upon stage to act and sing their hearts out,” hesays, “but the Follies have become a musicaltheatre company,” a change coincident withthe group’s return from hiatus in 1999 withthe Broadway hit Cabaret. Since then, theFollies have tackled well-known musicals suchas Fiddler on the Roof (2000), A Chorus Line(2004) and for this spring, Stephen Sondheim’s Assassins (2010).While the format may have changed, the Follies oftoday offers an exceptional opportunity for students’ artisticand intellectual growth. “The actors are given the freedom togrow into their roles and reach new heights in their theatricalaspirations,” says Nulman. “It is this freedom to learn, to train,to progress, to grow—but most of all, to make mistakes—thathas made my time with the Follies the most rewarding experienceof my life thus far, let alone my student years.” ENDwww.uc.utoronto.ca/alumni 13

GIVING BACKU N I V E R S I T Y C O L L E G EALUMNI MAGAZINEwww.uc.utoronto.ca/alumniNew Acquisitions at the University of Toronto Art CentreThe University of Toronto Art Centre (UTAC) atUniversity College is committed to the preservation,display, study and appreciation of art. UTACprovides over 540 square metres of high qualitygallery space and houses a collection of over 5800 works ofart. It regularly mounts acclaimed exhibitions and providesoutstanding opportunities for student engagement, as wellas a major new student meeting space in the art lounge.The collections under the care of UTAC are particularlystrong in the area of Canadian landscape painting from the19th century through the Group of Seven. The recentlyacquired John Hall (below) and the promised gifts of worksby Jacques de Tonnancour (right) and Albert Franck (belowright), constitute important additions to the collection in thatthey assist in presenting a more complete history of Canadianart, including via the teaching opportunities they afford.The de Tonnancour and Hall paintings offer outstandingexamples of 1950s Canadian landscape, quite distinct in stylefrom the Group of Seven. The very fine Albert Franck addsto a small nucleus of works focusing on domestic buildings,presenting a view of Toronto residential architecture that isincreasingly difficult to find.The vast majority of the works of art under the care ofUTAC have been acquired through donations by friends andalumni of the University. Since its founding in 1996, thenumber of works overseen by UTAC has more than doubled.The de Tonnancour and Franck paintings are promised gifts ofVincent Tovell, currently being held by UTAC. The John Hallwas donated by Douglas Lloyd. The University of Toronto ArtCentre thanks both donors for their generous gifts. ENDSpring Comes to King Township is a fine example of Hall’swork. Its muted colour, expansive horizontal format, anddeep space bounded by a distant escarpment complement thesquare and richly coloured 1957 de Tonnancour landscape.Together, the Hall and de Tonnancour present very goodsamples of Canadian landscape practice in the 1950s.Acquired from an exhibition of de Tonnancour’s workat the Blair Lang Gallery, Toronto in 1957, thispainting is clearly reminiscent of many Group of Sevencompositions. At the same time, it is highly typical ofde Tonnancour in its relatively broad, flat areas of colouroverlaid by thin, dynamic lines rendering the foliage andcharacteristic “bottle-brush” trees.Jacques de Tonnancour (Cdn, 1917-2005) I Untitled [landscape]I 1957 I Oil on canvas I 38 x 50 x 2 inches (framed) I Promisedgift of Vincent TovellFranck is a well-known and respected artist who practicedin Toronto, and whose works provide a wonderful recordof certain aspects of the city, notably the less grand and oftenoverlooked corners, such as the rear of houses and backlanes.John Alexander Hall (Cdn, b. 1914) I Spring Comes to KingTownship (incorrectly labeled Spring Comes to King County) I1958 I Oil on canvas I 45.1 x 113 cm I Gift of Douglas LloydThe University Toronto Art Centre is located in the LaidlawWing of University College.
