An Academic Journey
College life is a continuing negotiation between who and
what have been before and what one brings to the present
it begins .… It seems a long time since I was
unveiled (if that is the right word) as the
incoming Provost at a meeting of Corporation this past October, and it has been a
wonderful learning curve finding out further just how large and
broad and deep is the wider Trinity family that we share. Staff,
students, faculty and alumni have all been so welcoming; it has
been a little like having the honeymoon before the wedding. I
only hope it lasts.
A particular pleasure and privilege these past months has been
shadowing and observing the grace and wit and vigour of the outgoing (in both senses) Provost Margaret
MacMillan, whom we will all massively miss.
I am sure we wish her well. For now my life,
like hers I suspect, revolves around boxes. As
I write this, my first column as Provost, while
packing and stacking boxes preparing to ship
them out to a new home in Trinity, I find it
hard to avoid evaluating the many moves and
many college lives I have left behind. To some
(including some who should know better),
colleges may sometimes seem an outdated and
endangered species, an expensive and expendable luxury in a monolithic cost-cutting corporate enterprise, but it is clear to me that
they can and should survive and thrive, as oases of independence,
rightly proud of precisely what makes them so distinctive and different. And Trinity College, though superficially similar to other
colleges, certainly has its own special flavour, and separate history,
and justifiable aspirations.
I well remember arriving as a teenager at Queens’ College Cambridge, with far fewer boxes and a lot more fear, to start my own
student experience (as apparently we must now learn to call it), and
being blown away by the buildings and the half a millennium of
accumulated history. It took me awhile to realize that I was part of
that history, too. Exeter College Oxford was the next stop, a much
smaller and cosier place in many ways, but with a tighter focus on
SO
gowns and Latin and chapel life than Queens’ had ever had, and
with a wonderful library where I found a handwritten note in fake
Old Norse from C.S. Lewis of Narnia fame tucked inside one of
the books that J.R.R. Tolkien had repeatedly taken out (and, it must
be said, repeatedly returned). Yes, I have it still.
Much grander and richer and more academically ambitious
was St. John’s College Oxford, where Clare and I were married
and where I landed my first real job. Then off to the friendly and
relaxed Emmanuel College Cambridge, and nine years as fellow,
librarian, archivist and head of my university department, growing and watching others grow. At all the other colleges I have
known, mostly in two not-so-very-different
places, I have heard students say as they were
leaving how much they wished they could do
it all again, and likely differently. I suppose
the joy of my academic journey is that I have
managed to do that. But then, being part of
college life is a continuing negotiation with
who and what there is and has been, past and
present, present and absent. And what one
brings and leaves and brings back is at least as
important as what one takes away. Back to
those boxes again.
Perhaps it is a mark of being a medievalist,
and indeed (if it is not tautologous) a middleaged medievalist at that, always to look to the past for inspiration,
but to have faith always in the future. Even as I admire the legacy
that is left, I am firmly looking forward to working with our new
Chancellor, Bill Graham, and with all of the many amazing individuals and entities that make up this great adventure and experience of ours. Even as we highlight our differences, both within and
beyond the College, and between the College and the wider university, I do look forward to exploring what can jointly be achieved.
For after all, colleges are nothing if they are not collegial, and I dare
hope that we will all be working together.

Chancellor

THE HON. BILL GRAHAM ’61
was installed as Trinity
College’s Chancellor at the
Faculty of Divinity Convocation on May 8. He is the 12th
person to hold the College’s
chancellorship.
Graham retired from public
life on July 2 as a Liberal Member of Parliament for Toronto
Centre-Rosedale. During his
career, he served as Minister of
Defence, Minister of Foreign
Affairs and Interim Leader of
the Liberal Party of Canada.
“I’m very proud that this
College has become a focal
point for the study of international relations, a leader in
Canada and, I dare say, the
world,” said Graham in his
Convocation address. “We are
producing students who are
willing to fight for their ideas.”
Graham discussed the role
of religion and spirituality in a
secular society, and encouraged
the divinity graduands to be
actively involved in public life.
He quoted philosopher Charles
Taylor, recent recipient of the
prestigious Templeton Prize, in
his view that religion cannot be
separated from politics and
that “a deafness to our spiritual
dimensions” has terrible social
consequences. At the same
time, however, he underlined
the political philosophy that

“Thank you to the Trinity

students will graduate from
this place equipped with the
knowledge and the determination to make their contribution

Village People
EIGHT TRINITY STUDENTS,
representing Students for
International Development
(SID), left for the village of
Kigama in Kenya in May to
volunteer with development
projects there. Several of them
liked the work so much that
they decided to extend their
populated rural farming
region. Together with local
community leaders, the students – Jennifer Barrett, John
Ginther, Alexis Nicole
Lemajic, Jenny Ling, Aziza
Mohammed, Andrew Sharp,
in addition to Ronan MacParland and Jasmeet Sidhu (see
page 5) – participated in
development projects in areas
such as education, reforestation, HIV/AIDS and other
health issues. The partnership
is set to continue, which will
create more opportunities for
Trinity students to work in
Africa in the coming years.
“It’s been a really great experience,” says Ronan MacParland, SID’s president.

CONSTRUCTION ON TRINITY’S
long-awaited renovation of the
College quadrangle, begun June
A photo mock-up of
the new quad design
20, will refine the quad over
the course of the summer into
a serene quasi-medieval space
for the arriving students of
2007. After more than a year of
consultations with the College
community, Toronto-based
landscape architecture firm gh3
produced a design that incorporates stone walkways,
a paved terrace and room for
more seating at the sunny
north end of the quad. There
will be a series of intricate
gothic squares, with stone
filigrees outlining the shape
of the Greek letter chi, which
will punctuate the lawn.
“I thought it was a very
bold design,” says outgoing
provost Margaret MacMillan,
adding that it is also a practical
and functional one that allows
for a number of uses. The new
design rationalizes a space
that was simply left behind as
Trinity expanded to enclose it,
MacMillan says. “It had never
been designed as a quad. No
one had ever thought about
what was going on between the
buildings. The ground was getting quite compacted and the
trees were beginning to suffer,
so when an anonymous donor
wanted to give money for a
quad renovation, that spurred
us on as well.”
For the balance of the summer, most guests of the College
will be housed at the St. Hilda’s
residence. All entrances to the
College will remain open, except
for Henderson Tower on the east
side of the building. The quad
will be closed to weddings and
other events during the renovation, although Seeley Hall and
meeting spaces will be available;
the front garden and the space
between the Larkin Building
and the Munk Centre will be
accessible for wedding photos.
2,100 High
School Students
Can't Be Wrong
The class of 2011, which
will enter Trinity College in
September 2007, will have
an entrance average of 91
per cent, a slight increase over
last year in the average entering
grade.With just 310 first-year
spots available, 2,100 high
school students applied to
Trinity for the 2007-08
academic year.
Control Freak
SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY
chemistry professor Neil
Branda ’89 plays a management role that not many people can claim. As executive
director of SFU’s 4D Labs and
an expert in molecular shape,
Branda does research to tell
molecules how to work.
“If you can control the shape
of a molecule,” says Branda,
who attended Trinity and
received his undergraduate
degree in chemistry, “you can
control the properties of the
materials that contain that molecule.” In May, for his research
into molecular shape and how
to control it, Branda was named
one of Canada’s Top 40 Under
40, sponsored by the executive
search firm Caldwell Partners.
Using different stimuli
such as light, electricity or
the presence of other molecules, Branda’s research is
focused on how to create
molecules that can switch
back and forth between two
different shapes, and hence
have two different properties.
That could lead to the development of materials that can
change colour, or highly targeted drugs with fewer side
effects. Branda recently
founded Switch Materials Inc.
to commercialize the applications of his research.
“An electrical or mechanical
engineer looking at our field
would probably be amused by
the lack of on-off control we
have over our molecular systems,” Branda says. “Imagine if
every time you wanted to turn
off a light, you had to unscrew
the light bulb – but that’s what
we’re facing now.” His research,
however, may one day soon
result in chemicals that do
exactly “what we want, where
we want, when we want.” As
he describes his work, “We’re
the ultimate control freaks.”
Strength in Numbers
A
record number of Trinity College students were among
the group chosen to attend the 2007 G8 Summit in Heiligendamm, Germany.
“Last year,nine out of 20 students were from Trinity,and we thought that
was a huge number,” says Sadia Rafiquddin,fundraising co-director of the G8
Research Group, who will be entering her fourth year in September.“This
year we have 13 out of 20, so we’ve surpassed last year.”
The G8 Research Group is based at the Munk Centre for International
Studies, and brings together students and academics to study the activities
of the G8 group of countries. One of the group’s major projects each year
is to send U of T students to the annual G8 summit to gather, organize and
publicize information and analysis on the proceedings. Students are accredited as journalists for the summit, and report on news, assist professional
journalists by providing research and briefings, and are sometimes interviewed by media outlets. It’s all part of the group’s mission to be an independent source of information on the activities of the G8 and the wide vari-

that for undergraduate students, the proximity to world

A COLLEGE
QUEST
As Beowulf scholar Andy Orchard
takes over as Provost of Trinity College,
knowing the academic world – and
how to slay dragons – might be of help
BY JOHN ALLEMANG
PHOTOGRAPHY: NADIA MOLINARI
IT’S

one of those odd quirks
of fate and language that
the supremely multicultural University of Toronto can lay claim to
being the centre of the Anglo-Saxon universe.
Of course, we’re not talking about the
born-to-rule WASPs of the Family Compact
and the British Empire, not any more. These
Anglo-Saxons are a very different breed that
predates privilege – the wild, mysterious English originals who have given us Beowulf ’s
monsters, four-letter words, and now, Trinity’s
14th Provost and Vice-Chancellor.
The blunt and beautiful Anglo-Saxon
world has fascinated Andy Orchard since he
taught himself the harrowingly difficult language while still a rugby-playing London
schoolboy, and when he migrated here from
Cambridge University in 2000, one of the
strongest attractions was that “Toronto is the
best place in the world to study Anglo-Saxon.”
The ongoing Dictionary of Old English (as
the ancient pre-Chaucerian language is known
in these parts, to avoid post-colonial confusion) makes its global headquarters at the
Robarts Library, and the Centre for Medieval
Studies, which Orchard directed until he
moved to Trinity’s Provost’s Lodge this summer, is the largest program of its kind in the
world. “I have a facsimile of every surviving
Old English manuscript within a five-minute
TRINITY ALUMNI MAGAZINE
walk,” he says with the enthusiasm of a man
ready on a moment’s notice to explore the hidden depths of Anglo-Saxon Toronto.
It seems appropriate that Andy Orchard has
made the study of Old English riddles one of
his specialties, because he so readily defies the
stiff Anglo-Saxon stereotype. There’s no aura
of privilege in someone who volunteers that he
and his brother were the first members of their
family to go to university, and whose claims to
fame include a designated booth-cum-shrine
at Mullins pub on Bay Street where the
medievalists gather that’s now dubbed Andy’s
Orchard. Here you can admire the framed covers of his A Critical Companion To Beowulf and
Pride and Prodigies, alongside historic Orchard
family photos, while downing pints of Guinness, his favourite refreshment.
For a college that so fervently believes innovation can be rooted in tradition, that affirms
its Anglo (and anglophile) heritage while continuing to pursue more diverse forms of excellence, Andy Orchard looks like an inspired
choice for Provost. At 43, he is also among the
younger provosts in Trinity’s history, someone
who is just as likely to quote his 10-year-old
daughter on the charms of the College’s Harry
Potter atmospherics (“She says my new office
comes with its own church”) as to discuss the
fine points of the speech he delivered (in Latin,
Old English and Medieval Welsh, naturally)
‘‘
Orchard’s personal manner
is open and friendly, a style
natural to someone whose
career has developed in small,
congenial, underfunded
academic departments.

when the Archbishop of Canterbury was
awarded an honorary doctorate in April.
That occurred in his role as Trinity’s stentorian Public Orator, a ceremonial post he has
held since 2002 (he has also chaired the College Senate and taught a first-year course characteristically titled “Unmuddling the Middle
Ages,” among other duties). It says something
about his capacity for hard work, or
his cheerful willingness to take on
tasks others might find daunting,
that he composed and delivered his
breezily allusive encomium to
Rowan Williams within hours of
winding up the Toronto-hosted
conference of the Medieval Academy of America – a deadline orator,
if you like. But it’s been a job he has
enjoyed hugely, and not just because
he got to offer unsolicited advice to
beleaguered archbishops on how to
run their global empire while drawing on the wisdom of some of his favourite
Anglo-Saxon poets and prelates. “Quite honestly,” he says both modestly and mellifluously, “if you make it sound good, you can get
away with anything.”
Getting away with things isn’t the usual job
description of the Trinity Provost, but sometimes it doesn’t seem all that far off the mark,
especially in the never-ending dealings with the
’’
beast that is university power structure (it’s
worth noting that he is also an expert in teratology, the study of monsters). Orchard’s personal manner is open and friendly, a style that
comes naturally to someone whose career has
developed in small, congenial and perennially
underfunded academic departments where
there’s not a lot of room for bureaucratic attitude. And he makes it clear that in Trinity, he
has found a place that is notable for “collegiality,” a quality he prizes, as well as for its high
intellectual aspirations. Which may be why he
starts to bristle (making his weather-beaten,
rugby-player’s visage seem to turn even ruddier)
when the conversation shifts to Trinity’s position in the greater scheme of things.
“The university can tend to see its colleges as
little more than dormitories,” he says, “but to me
it’s a very simple fact that the federated colleges,
including Trinity, aren’t like that at all. The college is at heart a community, where you have a
full, active, enjoyable life outside the classroom
as well as in.” That’s hardly a controversial statement within Trinity, but it’s a defiant stance to
take as the federated colleges begin their renegotiation of the Memorandum of Agreement that
sets out their relationship with Simcoe Hall. The
university is naturally keen to have its alumni
identify with the broader institution, especially
at fundraising time. But Orchard is deeply concerned about upholding and developing Trinity’s
‘‘

to seek out the unfamiliar.
position as a small institution that “punches well
above its weight” academically while fostering a
strong sense of collegiality.
“There are certain things the College does
extremely well, like the library. It’s a beautiful
space and congenial to use compared with
Robarts, which is simply not a pleasant place to
work. As a result, Trinity has more outside students working here than any other library on
campus, for which I have no trouble asking for
more funds. And yet there’s a danger that certain elements of the upper university administration regard the independent college libraries
as a luxury and want increasingly to centralize
library resources, which seems to me crass, stupid and unaware of what students are actually
doing at ground level.”
University President David Naylor has made
it a priority to improve what administrators
label “the student experience,” which Orchard
finds encouraging because he’s certain that
strong federated colleges are essential to this
commitment. “Quite honestly, we have a lot to
teach the university about how to improve the
student experience. Forget the college-as-dormitory model – it’s about small-group teaching,
libraries, clubs, sports, communal eating, living
together and getting to know your peers.”
There’s another area where the Provost finds
himself in accord with the President: the need
for Toronto undergraduates to broaden their
’’
horizons, to explore the world beyond their laptops. He talks passionately about setting up student exchanges that move beyond the usual
summer-vacation credit courses and provide
what he calls “a life-changing experience.”
There’s no doubt that his own life-altering
choice in his teenage years has shaped his
views on the urgent need to get away, to seek
out the unfamiliar. It may be rooted
in his genes, because his father left
Bristol Cathedral School at the age
of 17 and hopped aboard a tanker
ship, but when Orchard was
awarded a travel grant on graduating from the London private school
he had entered as a naïve scholarship boy five years before, he
decided to disappear into the wilds
of Iceland.
“I had this wonderfully detailed,
completely stupid plan that I would
spend three months camping in a
one-man tent and going to all the saga sites in
Iceland, which naturally are in the most uninhabited parts of the island.” While his very traditional English school days were taken up with
translating Shakespeare into Greek and bashing heads on the rugby field, he had still found
time to teach himself both Old English and
Old Norse and read his way through the
ancient sagas. But even with their vivid evoca-

tions of cold-climate brutality in his head, the
budding scholar in him wasn’t quite prepared
for the rigours of the Icelandic spring, which
blends frostbite and snow blindness with literary catharsis.
“Pure stupidity, pure luck,” he says, ruminating on his bookish survival skills. That didn’t
stop him from leading walking tours of Iceland
for the next nine years, or indeed from threatening to drop out of Cambridge in his undergraduate days and turn himself into a writercum-Icelandic mountain guide when the
inflexible university curriculum required
him to move on to Classics from his beloved
Anglo-Saxon studies. Instead, in an almost
unparalleled act of undergraduate résuméenhancement, he transferred to Oxford, topped
his class, and just four years later was back
teaching Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic at his
original alma mater.
Over the nine years he was at Cambridge, he
became dissatisfied with what he saw as the
“heavy-handed bureaucracy” that was being
used to determine the value of British academic
research. Yale offered him a post, but New
Haven seemed like the wrong place to raise a
child. Toronto, quite apart from its strengths on
the Anglo-Saxon side (including the opportunity to consult on director Sturla Gunnarsson’s
2005 film, Beowulf & Grendel), looked much
more suitable for child-rearing.
14
’’
And what better place to do it than the
Potteresque Provost’s Lodge? Orchard and his
wife, Clare, the Ottawa-born daughter of
a British diplomat and an eagle-eyed copy
editor of scholarly journals, now have
two children, 10-year-old Ellen and six-yearold Oscar. Ellen has already attended a College Corporation meeting as part of the TakeYour-Child-to-Work-Day festivities, an
outing that may not be quite as magical as
a J.K Rowling novel but still has its own
peculiar charms.
And so the man who represents the first
generation of his family to go to university now
calls the College his family home. How different it could have been if he had carried through
on his threats, as a fiery undergraduate, to walk
away from by-the-books Cambridge and disappear into the more exhilarating world of his
beloved sagas. “I well remember the speech
I made,” says Orchard, the veteran orator
appraising his younger self. “A typical 21-yearold, eyes blazing, I told my director of studies,
‘I don’t want to be simply interested, I want to
be inspired.’” In the end, he found a way to
make the educational bureaucracy bend to his
needs, and that passion for the act of learning,
the compulsive need to make sense of the
Anglo-Saxon monsters and riddles, has never
left him. For Andy Orchard, this is still a place
where you can change your life. TRINITY COLLEGE
DONORS’ REPORT 2006-2007
A stellar year
of support
DONORS
2006-07
Trinity and its students benefit
every day from the generosity of
alumni, parents and friends
Trinity College thanks everyone who has made a gift to the
College. Your support is vital to our success and to the education
of our students. This roster recognizes alumni and friends who
gave $100 or more between May 1, 2006 and April 30, 2007.
Your generosity is truly appreciated.
Dear fellow graduates and friends,
This has been another outstanding year for donor
support of Trinity. The College receives financial
support from its alumni, parents of current and
former students, faculty and staff, and corporations, foundations, and friends. Every individual, organization and
company listed in these pages enlarges the educational experience
Trinity students enjoy. We are deeply grateful to you all.
The Annual Fund had a strong year in 2006-07, surpassing its goal
and raising $916,000 in support of the College’s most urgent funding
needs. At the same time, the Development Committee and the staff at
the College are working hard on a new campaign to endow various priorities at the College. More than $10 million has already been raised to
ensure an even more vital learning environment and a healthy financial
outlook for the College in the years to come. There will be more exciting news about this campaign in the coming months.
Inside the walls of Trinity College lives a diverse family of students,
faculty, alumni, and friends. Our students benefit in so many ways
from an exceptional community in which to learn and grow. Trinity
simply would not be able to provide this experience to its students
without donor support. On behalf of the Development Committee,
thank you again for your generosity.
Sincerely,

Margaret MacMillan and Joanne Tod
are standouts in their respective fields.
How could the result of their meeting, the official
portrait of the outgoing provost, possibly disappoint?
BY GILLIAN MACKAY
The
ceremony of unveiling a portrait is one of those old-fashioned rituals that still make sense in the 21st century. A
touch of drama is appropriate to the high hopes surrounding such occasions. And
when the subject of the portrait is Margaret MacMillan and the painter is Joanne Tod,
the expectations are high indeed. Interest in the project was first kindled in the spring,
SUMMER 2007
31
PHOTOGRAPHY: JIM SWENSON
(Top) Joanne Tod paints from photographs,
which worked to her advantage in
capturing the “very animated” Provost.
(Left) “Beautiful, sanguine and tall,”
in Tod’s words, Margaret MacMillan
stands between her mother, Eluned
MacMillan, and her portrait (also shown
on previous page).
when the College sent out a letter announcing that Joanne Tod had been commissioned to paint the portraits of the outgoing provost and the previous chancellor, the
Hon. Michael Wilson ’59. The response
from the Trinity community to the appeal
for funds was overwhelming.
In early June, a small audience of donors
gathered at the Toronto home of William
and Meredith Saunderson for the unveiling
of the MacMillan portrait. (The Wilson
portrait will be completed this summer and
unveiled at a later date.) “We wanted a way
to keep her with us forever,” said Donald
Ross ’54. Anticipation was keen as he and
the artist prepared to roll up the blue cloth
covering the handmade gold-leaf-framed,
four-by-five-foot canvas.
The project brought together two
women who are standouts in their respective fields. Over her 30-year career in
32
Toronto, Joanne Tod – whom critic Robert
Fulford has called the virtuoso of the
painted portrait – has revitalized the genre
and renewed its cultural relevance.
She has painted prostitutes and demimondaines, as well as Queen Elizabeth and
a 19th-century Canadian prime minister,
Sir Mackenzie Bowell. At the University of
Toronto, she is best known for her large,
irreverent portrait of former chancellor Hal
Jackman, now hanging in Simcoe Hall.
Like Margaret MacMillan, Joanne Tod
knows how to acknowledge tradition without being stifled by it. The artist was excited
by the challenge of immortalizing the celebrated author and academic leader. “I have
such respect for her,” says Tod. “She is a
credit to our gender, a true role model.”
In preparation for painting the portrait,
the artist began by attending a few of the
provost’s lectures and reading her latest
book, Nixon in China. Coincidentally, one
of Tod’s well-known paintings, Dick ’n
Mao, 1978, now in the collection of the Art
Gallery of Ontario, was based on an official
Chinese photograph of the two leaders
shaking hands. “The fact that Margaret
knew that painting gave us a connection
from the start,” she says.
Tod paints from photographs, as
opposed to the traditional practice of live
sittings. That proved a blessing in the case
of this particular subject, a fact that became
clear during the photography sessions,
which took place in and around the College. “She is very animated and gestures a
lot with her hands. Sitting still was problematic,” Tod recalls. “And I didn’t want to
downplay her height. I said to her, ‘Margaret, you are a standing woman.’”
The image they eventually chose was of
MacMillan standing in Seeley Hall, where,
(Top) The unveiling was clearly a happy
occasion for MacMillan and her assistant,
Brenda Duchesne.
(Right) Dick ’n Mao (1978), Tod’s painting of
President Nixon’s meeting with Chairman Mao
in 1972, hangs in the Art Gallery of Ontario.
The photograph it is based on was also used on
the cover of MacMillan’s book, Nixon in China.
as it happens, her parents were married in
1942. In the photograph, the figure is
bathed in natural light from front and
behind, producing a subtle aura around the
head and a luminous glow on the floor
behind. “This is the way I thought she
should look: beautiful, sanguine and tall,”
Tod says.
In planning the portrait, they also considered the fact that it would eventually
hang on the wall of Strachan Hall between
those of MacMillan’s predecessor, Thomas
Delworth, and College founder John Strachan. As the first woman provost, she was
bound to stand out in the all-male crowd,
and she was not averse to playing up the
contrast. Whereas the men are darkly robed
and set in gloomy, indeterminate space,
MacMillan chose to wear a vintage blue
and gold Trinity gown (more flattering than
the current model, she says), a magenta
shirt and large hoop earrings.
The cheers and applause that greeted the
unveiling of the finished portrait in June
were proof that, at least on this occasion
and at a later showing for the College community, reality can live up to expectations.
In its verve and warmth, it captures the singular spirit of a much-loved figure. “Whenever I look at this in the future, I will think,
‘This is the Margaret I knew,’” said Rina
Greer, an art consultant married to retired
architect and heritage consultant Bill Greer
’47 (DSL ’99).
For all its originality, the portrait has a
place in the humanist tradition, evident in
the simple grandeur of the pose, the generosity about the mouth, and the intelligent
penetration of the eyes. Even the subject
herself appeared pleased, though oddly (as
she herself noted) at a loss for words. “It’s
a very odd thing to look at oneself in a
painting,” she remarked. “But I do recognize myself in it.”
Her favourite detail, one that appeals to
her sense of humour, is the tiny red exit sign
hovering in the distance to the upper left.
As a formal element in the composition, it
is typically Joanne Tod, a quirky dash of
cayenne that energizes the whole. It is also
a subtle nod to MacMillan’s imminent
departure for St. Antony’s College at
Oxford University. As she noted the day
after the unveiling, “I do like the fact that I
am not being memorialized.”
Far from signalling the end, this is a portrait of a woman with life and achievement
still ahead of her. The College architecture
in the background honours the past, but
the eyes look forward. Gillian MacKay attended Trinity College and
graduated in 1976.

DRAWN TO
THE LIGHT
Under the guidance of Janice Price, Toronto’s newest arts festival,
Luminato, could shine as brightly as the Toronto Film Festival
By Liz Allemang

L
uminato, the Toronto festival that took over the
city’s arts venues and streets from June 1 to 10,
was both praised and panned by the masses and
the media. Free public works of art – such as
Rafael Lozano-Hemmer’s multi-day interactive
light show and Xavier Veilhan’s prodigious floating mobile suspended from the ceiling of the atrium in BCE Place
– were applauded. Not nearly so successful, however, was The Passion of Winnie, the multimedia opera based on the life of Winnie
Madikizel-Mandela by Bongani Ndodana-Breen and Warren
Wilensky, or, for that matter, the debut of the monolithic Michael
Lee-Chin crystal at the ROM.
As the festival wrapped up and the one million-plus attendees,
local media and the blogosphere compared notes, one thing was for certain:
Luminato CEO Janice Price, ’77, was
already looking ahead. And it’s no
surprise: This is a woman with tremendous resilience, a capacity she attributes,
in part, to her need to constantly challenge and be challenged. Her energy and
drive attract headhunters on a regular
basis – about one call a month, on average – and have firmly established her
status as an in-demand strategist, innovator and businesswoman.
Price is the face of Luminato. She
spearheaded the $12-million project and
is undeterred in her conviction that its
unconventional mix of programming will
eventually place it on the same plane as
internationally recognized local institutions such as the Toronto Film Festival.
But flash back to 1973, and Price, now 51, didn’t see the faintest
glimmer of the arts maven she would become. A self-described
“suburban Toronto kid with good marks,” she came to Trinity at
the urging of her priest, an alumnus himself, to study history and
politics. “I thought, ‘I guess I’ll get a law degree,’” she laughs.
During her time at Trinity, however, life happened. She performed in a number of productions, including The Fantasticks during her first year, and Happy as Larry, which was staged at St.
Hilda’s. Most fondly, she recalls a stint as a diva in her final year,
when she played the lead, Polly Peachum, in John Gay’s cheeky,
satiric Beggar’s Opera.
The granddaughter of Scottish immigrants and the first of her
family to go to university, Price acknowledges that one of the first
challenges at university was figuring out where exactly she fitted in.
The richness of Trinity’s history and tradition was something of
a revelation to her. “By the end of orientation week I had met
kids from longstanding Canadian families with multiple generations of Trinity graduates. They had this history with the College,”
she says. “I was fascinated; I was getting a privileged view into a different world.” But far from feeling isolated by it, she was intrigued.
Price arrived at what she describes as a great time to be a student
at Trinity. “I was part of the wave in the ’70s when the College
began to reflect the diversity of the city. And yet it still maintained
its unique and funny traditions, like teas and formals.”
The “unique and funny traditions,” as well as the “social interaction at a very sophisticated level that Trinity strived to instill,”
were eventually of surprising benefit, says
Price. “It was unfamiliar, but it forced me
to become confident when meeting people from all strata. In business, knowing
how to host people, spark interesting dialogues, be professional in a social setting
– these are imperative in getting a leg up,
in achieving success.”
In the years that followed she used
these skills often while building an
impressive résumé: seven years at CFTO
in Scarborough (where she began as summer help and moved up the rungs to
become director of programming and
promotions); then marketing director for
Massey Hall and Roy Thomson Hall and
later the Stratford Festival. In 1996 she
headed stateside and held positions as
interim director at the Lincoln Center for
the Performing Arts in New York in 2001 and president and CEO
at the Kimmel Center in Philadelphia from 2002 to 2006, before
returning to Toronto last summer to head up Luminato.
Price won’t stand for boredom and is clearly a woman who likes
to be displaced from her comfort zone. “I’m not averse to risk. I’m
comfortable with change; in fact, I enjoy it. I like things that people find scary,” she says.
“One thing I’ve been accused of is taking on things that are
impossible to accomplish. When I hear the word impossible, I
think, ‘That’s it, I want in.’ In the performing arts, accomplishment is so objective. I think that Luminato is already a success in
that we’ve brought it to life. That was the biggest hurdle. I like to
hear what didn’t work so that we can do it better next year, but I
don’t dwell – I’m already looking five years down the line.” “I’m not averse
to risk. I’m
comfortable with
change; in fact,
I enjoy it. I like
things that people
find scary.”

LETTERS
The article on Trinity’s 1957 Mulock
Cup-winning football team
(“Gridiron Grit,” Trinity, Spring
2007, page 18) caused quite a stir.
We incorrectly reported that after the
1957 victory, Trinity did not capture
the Mulock cup again until 1983.
Guy Rowe-Sleeman and Tom
DeWolf, whose letters appear below,
set us straight. The confusion arose
partly because there were two divisions vying for the Cup from 1972
until 1991. For the record, the
university’s Department of Physical
Education and Health confirms that
Trinity won the Mulock Cup in the
following years: Division I: 1931-32
and 1957-58. Division II: 1975-76;
1982-83; 1983-84; 1985-86; and
1986-87. Our apologies to all those
Trinity heroes who have ever flung the
pigskin on behalf of the College.

magazine, I read the very fine article “A Champion Guy,” in which
the author, Andrew Clark, mentions that in 1957, the Trinity

repeated until 1983.” I have a very

The two-division system for
Mulock started in 1972 and
ended in 1991; a one-division
system existed prior to 1971 and
also in 1992 and 1993 – and in
a few years there were three divisions! Intramural tackle football
was discontinued after the 1993
season, and the trophy was rededicated to rugby.
Trinity’s victories in 1975-76,
1982-83, 1983-84, 1985-86, 198687 were all in Division II. Apparently
Trinity was asked after each victory
to consider moving up to Division I,
but declined to do so.

the foundation for some of Christianity’s most profound contributions
to understanding human life.
Examination of three of his letters –

it will ultimately be banished from

or directed 130 productions, and
played dozens of roles, including
King Lear, Richard II, Titus
Andronicus, Falstaff in The Merry
Wives of Windsor and, in 2005,
Prospero in The Tempest, his last
stage appearance before retiring at
age 85. He also starred in
Canadian TV and films, notably as
Sir John A. Macdonald in The
National Dream and James Tyrone
in Long Day’s Journey into Night. Over the years he
shared the boards with many luminaries of the theatre,
including John Gielgud, Peter Ustinov, Maggie Smith,
Alec Guinness, Sybil Thorndike and Jessica Tandy.
Following five years of service in the Canadian
Forces’ medical unit in the Second World War (for
which he was awarded the Military Medal), Hutt
enrolled at Trinity, and was soon drawn to Hart House
Dalglish ’52 and niece of Tracy
Dalglish ’85.

Theatre, where he became part of
HUTT ’48
a circle of emerging talent that
included Charmion King, Ted
Follows and Eric House. After graduating in 1948 he worked in summer stock, then joined Stratford in
its inaugural season in 1953.
Though over the years he
appeared on and off Broadway, in
London’s West End and in theatres
throughout Britain, Hutt remained
true to his first commitment: to
stay in Canada and support the
country’s theatre.After all, he once
said, he was associated with “the
greatest playwright in the English
language and with a company that
produces his plays with love, passion and a good budget.”
Love and passion he provided in
abundance during a long and stellar career – and he
inspired those same feelings in his legions of fans. The
recipient of many awards, including the Governor
General’s Award for Lifetime Achievement and the
Order of Canada, he was, says his friend and colleague
Richard Monette, the Stratford Festival’s artistic director, “a national treasure.”

the SARS crisis. Roy McMurtry ’54,
recently retired Ontario chief justice
and a long-time friend of Campbell,
called him “one of the giants of the
legal world,” and lamented the loss of
one of Canada’s “most able judges.”
Born in Montreal, Campbell studied at Trinity College before going on
to Osgoode Hall Law School, where
he graduated in 1967. In the mid-’70s
he was a senior policy adviser to then
Attorney General McMurtry, helping
with major law reform in Ontario and
the creation of the legal-aid clinic system. He also taught at Osgoode Hall
Law School. He was regional senior
justice of the Ontario court for the
Toronto region for three years before
his appointment to the Superior
Court in 1996.
Friends cherished him for his
warmth and sense of humour, which
sometimes leaned toward the quirky.
Many remember his stuffed skunk
“Buddy,” who often accompanied him
on social occasions.
Despite having to use a wheelchair to get around and a large oxygen tank to breathe, he returned to
the bench in recent months, hearing
criminal appeals until just two weeks
before his death.
“This court has lost an icon and a
giant of criminal law,” said Heather
Forster Smith, Chief Justice of the
Superior Court. – Mebbie Black
Legal luminary Archie Campbell ’64
died April 17 after a lengthy battle
with lung disease. He was 65.
A highly respected member of the
judiciary, Campbell handled some
tough issues during his career, including an inquiry in 1995 into the bungled investigation of the kidnapping
and murder of two teenaged girls by
serial rapist Paul Bernardo. In 2003 he
headed a commission of inquiry into

There are numerous ways to spell griffin, the name of the mythical beasts that
we see depicted in Minoan and ancient Egyptian art, Italian vases from 375
B.C., ninth-century Irish literature, early Christian text, and editions of Alice
in Wonderland.
But are these griffins that sit sentinel at the ends of the hand-carved
dark oak benches scattered throughout Trinity’s main building, or some
other mythological dragon-like beasts, such as the winged dogs seen in
ancient Crimean ruins? Usually, griffins have the head of an eagle, but these
Trinity creatures roar with the head of a lion. And while we can admire the
craftsmanship that went into the fearsome creations, one has to admit that
beasties born with serpent-like tails, hooves, huge teeth, horns and wings
aren’t typically what one would use to decorate one’s indoor furniture.
Medieval in style, the benches were originally installed in Trinity College’s Queen Street West building, opened in 1852, before being transferred to their current home on Hoskin Avenue in 1925. One bench
makes an appearance in the portrait of George Whitaker (Trinity’s first
provost) that hangs in Strachan Hall, while another can be seen in a
vintage photo taken in Convocation Hall at the old College.
Lovingly restored with the help of the Art Committee (one was
completely recarved, thanks to the Class of ’61, after the original
was stolen in 1997), every bench has two entirely different versions
of these mysterious mascots. Even though fearsome and disagreeable-looking, these grimacing college guards discourage absolutely
no one from resting near them. – F. Michah Rynor
