Below are some of their replies. I hope my nephew’s son Wesley enjoys as much benefit from Bishop’s as this old bodger. John Chappell ’36 Our memories are still fresh and happy ones. We will be forever grateful for our years and experiences and above all our education at Bishop’s. Jean ’51 & Bob Hayden ’51 I moved onto the campus in 1945 as my father taught chemistry at Bishop’s and eventually became the Dean of Science in the late 60s. The article about moving the library with a wagon in the recent alumni magazine was my first summer job and it is true that Arnold Banfill’s nephew and I moved the entire library with two wagons. It was a long summer. My son Adam graduated in honours Chemistry in 1999 and completed his Ph.D. at Queen’s, making him the third McCubbin in a row to earn his Ph.D. in chemistry with an association with both Bishop’s and Queen’s. I have taught chemistry at Lakefield for over 30 years and encourage good Lakefield students to go to Bishop’s. It is a part of the McCubbin family. Alex McCubbin ’66 I have always loved saying I am a Bishop’s grad. Every time I put on a robe to attend my school’s convocation, I proudly donned the purple and white. Bishop’s played an important role in my passion for teaching and learning. It made me realize what one can do with one’s talents and interests. Elizabeth Robinson Mackinnon ’66 I have no doubt my years at Bishop’s had much to do with what I accomplished. The beauty of Bishop’s is that students need not get lost in the numbers. It is small enough for everyone to have an identity, yet the quality of education is second to none. It provides a solid platform of knowledge from which any student should be able to take on the world. I am proud when reading about Bish alumni and what they have accomplished. I suspect that such accomplishments and attendance at Bishop’s are not a coincidence. Dean Apps ’71 Keep up the good work. It is one of the best places to get an education in Quebec. Small, intimate, good teachers and one of the most beautiful campuses. Barbara Perry Cartmel ’91 I frequently look back at my time spent at Bishop’s fondly and keep in touch with many of the people I met while there. Bishop’s was a great experience and launchpad for my career. Jeff Bean ’96 This fifth anniversary coincides with my graduation from the MBA program at U of T. My degree from Bishop’s has served me well indeed. Nick Dubick ’01 Cover photos: Perry Beaton, Matt McBrine, Nathalie Simard Letters Can you believe it? Photo: Perry Beaton The new bridge over the Massawippi River, renovated last fall to the tune of $2.3 million, had two large potholes which proved difficult to repair. Steel plates were placed temporarily over the holes, and through June, July and August the bridge had only one lane open while extensive repairs were made. “This is an experimental The new bridge already has potholes because it is “too flexible.” bridge made from experimental materials, and the potholes were created due to the bridge’s flexibility. It seems too flexible,” a spokesperson from the Ministry of Transport said. “If we had used concrete it would have been too heavy to keep the arches. This is nothing serious. The bridge is perfectly safe.” He said no decision has been made concerning the request from Bishop’s students to have the arches painted purple. (courtesy of The Record) The Apartment, Norton Hall “Vélo universitaire” is the title of a photograph by Céline Dionne of Sherbrooke I purchased recently. I call it “The Apartment, Norton Hall.” Norton Hall is in the background in the photo. That bay window, just below the bicycle’s handlebars and behind the bush, shows my room during my first year at Bishop’s. Although Norton Hall was then a residence housing 200 men, six “freshettes” lived in one of the professor’s ground floor apartments under the guidance-and supervision of a graduate student in Education. When I, a meek and mild “freshette,” was first directed there in the fall of 1956, I was upset. I wanted to be in Pollack Hall, the women’s residence! In those days, however, one did not speak out, and I later came to appreciate the situation. The other girls in Norton were terrific. The Education student was a gem, great fun and most understanding. We all became close friends and still share a special bond. We surmised that our presence was an experiment, “streaming.” I am happy to say that we probably disproved the theory of streaming. We did not all quit before graduation, nor did we all go on to graduate school. We all turned out pretty well, probably just as we would have had we been in Pollack Hall. The Apartment brings back a flood of memories — the big tree that stood out front and came down that fall; the “Seven Dwarfs,” our ice sculptures for Winter Carnival (“But where is Snow White?”, everyone asked.); traipsing out to chapel with the graduate student; dashing over to the cafeteria on cold winter mornings wrapped up in our gowns; eating leftovers from the Chinese Dinner. In the photograph, Norton Hall is not as sharply in focus as the foreground. That makes it even more appropriate. After all, these memories were forged fifty years ago. Lillian (Lu) Rider ’59 Some people leave a piece of themselves at Bishop’s I was the student who slid down the “Bishop’s” bridge and encountered a sharp metal object, 25 years ago. It was a Friday the thirteenth. Of course it was asinine of me, but that night a few of us were going from campus to the Lion and I decided to walk over an arch, as I had many times before. Seeing that the top of the bridge held a couple of inches of powdery snow, I recalled that my roommate Sue McCowan ’83 had a dream that I had fallen off the bridge and hurt myself. To prevent her premonition from coming true, I chose to descend the backside of the arch by sliding on the seat of my pants. Unfortunately, near the bottom I suddenly felt like I had been goosed and we all heard my pants rip. Soon we discovered that quite a bit of me was ripped too. (by the time we got back to my room in Munster there was blood in both my socks.) We never made it to the Lion that night as we had to take my sorry ass to the Sherbrooke hospital for fifty stitches to close a gaping wound. Dixon Kenner’s letter was correct (hi Dixon!) – I had slid over the sharp metal remnants of a “caution” sign that someone had removed from the bridge by twisting and bending the stem until it snapped. I was the butt of jokes for a month but this was no skin off my ass. The lesson? Obviously, don’t walk over the arches of the Lennoxville bridge. And please, kids, think twice before removing warning signs from public infrastructures – the ass you save may be mine! Greetings to all classmates, with fond memories, Kris(tin) Trotter ’83 ([email protected]) P.S. I considered sending a photo of my scar but decided this would show much too much cheek. We want to hear from you.

The weather was sunny and warm, which allowed for a great day on the course. It was also a special occasion as we inducted two former Gaiters, Debbie Savoy Morel ’75 and Steve Davies ’81, into the RBC Athletic Wall of Distinction. Thank you to all participants who raised over $18,000 for the Department of Athletics. Winners of the 2006 Gaiter Classic (l-r): Tim Price, Steve Davies ’81, Gil Broome ’82, Philip Johnston ’59,2006 Tournament Chairman, Ron Perowne ’72, Tom Allen ’69, Dave Whiteley, Riddell Canada Debbie Savoy Morel ’75 and Steve Davies ’81, two of the greatest golfers to attend Bishop’s, were inducted into Bishop’s RBC Wall of Distinction. The pair, who not only excelled on the links during their college days but continued that success following their graduation, were officially inducted into the Wall on Friday, June 2, 2006. The unveiling of the plaques were held at the John H. Price Sports Centre while the formal induction ceremony took place during the Gaiter Golf Classic at the Milby Golf Club later that evening. New Food Services at Bishop’s On July 1, 2006, Sodexho, Canada took over Bishop’s Dining Services. Students in residence will have an all-you-care to-eat, continuous dining venue open from 7 a.m. to midnight at Dewhurst Dining Hall. They can go to Dewies as many times as they wish during the operating hours and eat all they want during those visits. A full service Tim Hortons will be open in fall 2006 in the Student Centre and Starbucks coffee will be served in the Upper Crust (formerly the Loft).

Dr. Louis-Georges Harvey,Professor of History, “Le Printemps de l'Amérique française. Américanité, anticolonialisme et républicanisme dans le discours politique québécois, 1805-1837,” Boréal. The monograph traces the roots of Francophone political discourse not to the French Revolution, but to traditions of anglo-american political discourse. He emphasizes the anticolonial nature of the Patriote movement and suggests its discourse was the contemporary expression of a republican tradition grounded in civic humanism which contested the advent of commercial capitalism and the liberal state.

Dr. Harvey White, Professor of Religion What Is What-Is?, Peter Lang Publishing USA. A Study of Parmenides’ Poem. Dr. White discusses a new interpretation of this poem, concluding that the pre-Socratic philosopher Parmenides was not the radical and revolutionary thinker to the degree he is commonly portrayed to be.

Back: Scott Griffin ’60, DCL ’02, Chancellor, Robert Poupart, Principal, Yves Jodoin, Registrar. O n June 10, Convocation 2006 was held outdoors for the first time in many years. Bishop’s was informed by Sherbrooke Fire and Safety officials that last year’s ceremony exceeded the legal capacity of the John H. Price Sports Centre by hundreds of people. Three options were considered: split the graduation class into two separate ceremonies, limit graduates to a maximum of two guests, or move Convocation outdoors. After much consideration, we chose the third option. On Convocation day the temperature dropped, the wind howled, rain fell relentlessly. Unfortunately, Bishop’s had devised no fail-safe alternative and graduating students and their families were unable to properly celebrate the occasion. Principal Poupart sent a letter of apology to the Class of ’06, and the University will make different plans for the Class of ’07. Despite the weather, Bishop’s was proud to confer degrees on 588 students (370 women and 218 men). Business: 134 graduates (61 women, 73 men) Education: 109 graduates (90 women, 19 men) Humanities: 159 graduates (113women, 46 men) Natural Science and Mathematics: 54 graduates (26 women, 28 men) Social Sciences: 132 graduates (80 women, 52 men) Bishop’s honoured two distinguished Canadians with its highest honour, Doctor of Civil Law honoris causa. Warren Allmand was appointed President of Rights & Democracy in February 1997 following a 33-year career as a Liberal Member of Parliament for the Montreal riding of NotreDame-de Grâce. He served in the Trudeau cabinet from 197279. A lawyer admitted to the Quebec Bar in 1958, he holds degrees from St. Francis Xavier University and McGill, and a certificate of Comparative Law from Université de Paris and the Institute of Comparative Law. He was appointed Queen’s 6 • Fall 2006 Bishop’s University News Counsel in January 1977 and named a member of the order of Canada in July 2000. His many awards include The John Howard Award for Distinguished Humanitarian Service and the World Peace Award. Presently, Mr. Allmand is President of World Federalists Canada and Vice-President of the Montreal City Council. Fiona Reed is one of Canada’s most renowned actresses and has appeared at theatres across North America and Great Britain. Her 30-year career has been marked by diverse signature roles that include Blanche Dubois (A Streetcar Named Desire), Lady Bracknell (The Importance of Being Earnest), and Martha (Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf). Fiona’s association with The Shaw Festival spanned ten seasons, with a number of memorable performances. Honours include two Dora Mavor Moore Awards, the Toronto Life Women of Distinction Award and Vancouver’s Jessie award. A graduate of McGill, she is an Associate Artist at CanStage in Toronto and has advocated for literacy, Shakespeare in the schools and many charities. Fiona’s work is part of Canadian TV history, as wife Cathy King to Al Waxman’s King of Kensington. With numerous film and television credits to her name, audiences will recognize her as the mother of the groom in “My Big Fat Greek Wedding.” Dr. Cecil Haver was named Professor Emeritus of Economics and Dr. Donald Hilton was named Professor Emeritus of Biology.

Roger Titman ’69 and daughter, Stephanie Fall 2006 Bishop’s University News • 7 Keeping the markets honest As head of the Alberta Securities Commission, Bill Rice ’68 knows how vulnerable stock markets are when people lose faith in their integrity. “T rust is an essential component in the financial environment,” says Bill Rice ’68, Chair and CEO of the Alberta Securities Commission (ASC). He should know. He is head of an organization whose mandate is to ensure that capital markets have integrity, are fair and have the confidence of investors. On top of that, he and other executives at the ASC have spent the last year trying to reestablish the trust of the media and government when it was shaken after a number of internal personnel issues became public. “We rebuilt the management group and reorganized the Commission to reestablish an air of normalcy for the organization instead of going from fire to fire and reaction to reaction. We have worked hard to show that the ASC was doing its job and continues to do so, that things are being dealt with properly and fairly, and we have control over the markets.” One-third of the staff at ASC work in the enforcement of securities legislation and rules. “Most illegal activity is exposed by complaints by investors or professional participants in the capital markets. The complaints are assessed, investigated and prosecuted if the Enforcement Department deems it appropriate. We have a whole team of investigators, often ex-police officers, accountants and lawyers who work in this area.” Proceedings are most frequently undertaken against individuals. “There are not generally corrupt companies, but poorly behaving people. Bad behaviour is hard to maintain if you expect everyone in the company to do it.” The most common offences are insider trading (buying or selling a security by insiders who possess information that is not public), market manipulation (trading activities that have an artificial impact on prices) and the illegal sale of securities (by people or securities not registered or companies filing a misleading prospectus).” “This is a wonderful time for people in the financial sector to gain experience, knowledge and exposure, and to make a good living. But never cut corners on expertise and integrity.” Illegal activities jeopardize the confidence in the capital markets which, Bill claims, threatens the effectiveness and possibly existence, of the markets. That doesn’t mean to say there could be another general stock market crash. “People will invest in other markets if they do not believe the market is run with integrity and fairness for both the small and big investor.” As head of ASC, Bill works with representatives of other Canadian security commissions to develop policy in the field of securities regulation. Policies they are currently discussing include the reporting and evaluation of internal accounting controls to ensure accounting records and processes in companies are accurate, the disclosure of executive 8 • Fall 2006 Bishop’s University News compensation which is often too complicated and difficult to understand in annual reports, and the need to harmonize legislation and rules of securities regulation to allow an Bill Rice ’68 says that rules for people issuer of securities and in the financial sector are stricter than ever. “That’s appropriate, but I don’t people who must register think there has been any worse to deal with one behaviour. We must be seen to be jurisdiction in Canada protecting investors from illegal and unfair practices.” rather than with each province. Bill’s list of “hot” topics in the financial sector include: • hedge funds: these have grown dramatically in the past few years and more people are involved in them. They are not regulated to any significant degree and this is becoming a focus of national and international scrutiny. • best practices: after the Enron and Tyco scandals, people want to be assured boards of directors do their jobs and senior executive officers are under strict controls. Regulatory commissions must determine what governance rules should apply and whether companies held by families or single shareholders should have a different set of rules. • self-regulatory organizations (SROs): regulatory commissions like the ASC supervise organizations that regulate themselves (e.g. investment dealers association, stock exchanges). A review is currently underway as the role of many of these organizations is changing. • International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSC): Markets are now internationally competitive, and there is heightened concern that people in other countries have confidence in Canadian markets. Provincial securities commissions are working to harmonize practices across the country, and Canada often looks at U.S. rules to make sure its rules will allow for cross-boarder trading and the movement of investment funds. An international commission would also force less developed countries to follow international standards if they wish to establish a market. Bill’s advice for young alumni in the financial sector? “This is a wonderful time to gain experience, knowledge and exposure and to make a good living. But never cut corners on expertise and integrity. Know your business. You may be able to bluff for a while, but it will not last. Many sectors are complicated, but the more complicated your business is, the more value you will have. Do not be tempted to make a decision without appropriate analysis. And never compromise. Your reputation for integrity is critical. You may think that you are making a compromise in one instance only, but you can finish your career or your ability to advance. Trust is essential for this environment to work.” From donuts to diagnosis Father Steve and sons Reg ’90 and Brian ’90 Allatt have found a niche in the insurance business that has allowed their family company to become a leader in North America. A lthough Reg ’90 and Brian ’90 both worked in the family business, Allatt’s Bakery, as children, they had completely different views of the experience. “I always knew I wanted to be in business some day. I tell my children that when I was ten years old, I worked Saturday mornings making donut boxes and at 13, I had my first summer job in the bakery,” says Reg with pride. Brian is more ambivalent. “I had no desire to be in the food industry as a kid. I liked donuts, but that was about it. It’s very long, hard work, seven days a week.” The bakery was in business until 1973 when the family sold it to Weston, and then continued to sell baked goods but not breads until 1983. Reg started selling life insurance in their father’s insurance brokerage firm in the 1980s and Brian, after graduating from Bishop’s, found himself being interviewed and offered jobs by insurance companies in Montreal. He decided to join the family business — etfs — and stay in the Eastern Townships. In 1992 many provincial governments decided to cut their contribution to out-of-country medical emergencies. “My father saw the opportunity,” says Reg. “We sold $20,000 of travel insurance premiums the first year, the next year about $900,000, and it kept growing.” Today the company administers over $300 million in premiums for health and travel insurance. The largest driver of the growth of etfs, however, is its case management and cost containment services. “In 1996 we decided that, in order to be successful as a travel insurance broker, we would also have to start an assistance company. We hired nurses and a doctor to manage medical emergencies that we were selling the insurance for,” says Reg. etfs found there was a need for cost containment for insurers of people travelling in the U.S. “The U.S. has the most expensive health care in the world,” says Brian. “The hospital system is entrepreneurial, so different groups get charged different prices. If a patient is international, the hospital might, for example, try to charge $250,000 for a heart transplant where under an American plan they would charge $50,000. Our job is to pay a fair and reasonable price based on our understanding of the system in a particular hospital. In the U.S. there are actually courses to help hospitals bill treatments and medications in clever ways so that they can make more money. It’s a huge business and extremely complicated, but we have mastered it.” “We’ve put a great deal of effort into understanding the financial drivers in the U.S. healthcare system,” says Reg. We have to be aggressive and at the same time get hospitals to recognize that we are just looking for a fair deal. We can often offer our international clients guarantees that are superior to the financial performance they are getting from their current suppliers. We have clients in over 20 countries around the world and pay about $200 million in U.S. medical bills a year.” Although their emphasis is on international clients, about onefifth of this side of the business serves groups in the U.S. “From Three members of the Allatt family — Brian ’90, CEO, Global Excel, Steve, Chairman, and Reg ’90, President & CEO — operate etfs, a company with world headquarters in Lennoxville and sales offices in Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, San Francisco, Houston and Orlando. my perspective,” says Brian, “we are the best at this in North America.” The fast growth of the company has been a challenge. “We’ve had to learn from our failures,”says Reg. “We have always invested in people and it’s always people who have made us grow. Every year or two we have to evolve the way we manage the company because what works in a small organization does not work in a larger one. We now employ over 400 people.” “We have to keep good morale in the company, continue to work on structure, improve systems, communications, quality of life (growth is exciting but can be very stressful) and our relationships with our clients. And we must make sure we are not concentrating Bishop’s alumni only on our growth employed by efts but also improving what we do,” says Monica Alas ’00 Kristina Hartwell ’06 Brian.

Fall 2006 Bishop’s University News • 9 Youth Symposium ACE — the Association of College Entrepreneurs — is a national university organization that encourages students to engage with their communities and communicate entrepreneurial values. On March 16, 2006, eight ACE Bishop’s students partnered with more than 20 provincial and federal agencies and educational institutions to help stage a “Youth Symposium” at Heritage Regional School in Saint Hubert QC. More than 100 Secondary V students from four English School Boards attended the symposium, billed as “Entrepreneurship: Unlock the Possibilities.” Bishop’s was at the centre of the action, behind the scenes, and just about everywhere else, too. Each of three Bishop’s teams led two workshop sessions, and just about every participant selected at least one session offered by the ACE teams. Alexi Lachambre and Michael Cestnik led a session titled “Yourself Inc.” which had students reflect on how to “market” themselves effectively. Robb Schaeffer, Kevin Larocque and Andrew Simboli talked to 60 kids about “Making Cents: Financial Literacy,” and Andreas Reissner and Adam Vokes introduced participants to the entrepreneurial concept of “Opportunity Recognition.” I was impressed by the intelligent thoughtfulness of the workshop themes developed by ACE President Sam Saintonge and his team, and by the way ACE students involved participants in their workshop sessions. Eight teachers from two school boards spoke to Robb Schaefer about repeating his financial literacy program at their schools, and the next day we received and had to turn down — end of term, exams — a number of requests for repeat sessions at individual schools. The Youth Symposium was coordinated — with plenty of help from the schools and workshop presenters — by The Community Table’s South Shore representative Debbie Horrocks, South West Quebec’s Stacey Dakin and our own region’s Martha Crombie. The Table links federal ministries that share responsibility for programs in support of Canada’s Co-operative Education: E David Rittenhouse, ACE Faculty Advisor You ven though the Williams School of Business Co-operative Education Program is still quite young, its list of employers keeps growing, and its worldwide reputation continues to solidify. However, some people still wonder what Co-op is and why it has become more important than ever in Canadian universities. In order to gain relevant knowledge, university students must not only learn theory but also have access to practical work experience. Our Co-op Program is a great opportunity for students to strengthen the link between theoretical knowledge and real-world applications, all the while serving to confirm students’ career choices. Luckily, due to increasing numbers of qualified students from different concentrations who join our Co-operative education year after year, Bishop’s Co-op Program can boast a varied and motivated student workforce. 10 • Fall 2006 Bishop’s University News Official Language Minorities. Behind the scenes, Bishop’s Dobson-Lagassé Centre helped shape the Community Table’s entrepreneurial approach, whereby citizens are encouraged to identify opportunities for economic and social initiative. The Centre also works with the Table to develop a network of advisors available to help English-speaking entrepreneurs outside the Montreal area. The workshops offered by Bishop’s students could be viewed as the culmination of a great deal of effort over an extended period of time and a test of the Table’s —and the Centre’s — ability to communicate entrepreneurial values. Participants agreed: the Youth Symposium had encouraged secondary students to think seriously about their own innovative, leadership and entrepreneurial potential. The coordinators had nothing but praise for the Bishop’s students: “I was very impressed by the ACE students — their subject knowledge and the professionalism they displayed was excellent. . . . You could feel the electricity and the excitement in the room.” “There was super energy in the school . . . people were enthusiastic, outgoing, talkative, sharing, and interested.” “Having university students address youth allows for an interesting exchange of ideas and an interaction that is not always possible. . . . Together we created an opportunity for many people to network, exchange and explore the idea of entrepreneurship.” These sentiments were echoed in comments by teachers who accompanied their students, And the students? Well, the overwhelming majority enjoyed their day. “Animators were understanding and knew what they were doing.” “I learned a lot.” “They made it fun.” One consistent complaint: “We should have been allowed to do more workshops.” It doesn’t get much better than that. can help This is why we need you, our valued alumni and friends, to get involved in the Co-op education process. To be able to offer students a wide variety of interesting and challenging work placements, we require the help of people who are in the business world — in other words, people like you! Please see our website at www.ubishops.ca/coop for further information about the program and for application deadlines. Employers who visit our website will not only find out more about Co-operative education, they will also discover many advantages of hiring a Bishop’s Co-operative student.

Sixty golfers participated in the inaugural tournament at the Falcon Golf Club in Hudson. It was great fun. Everyone who participated raved about the service they received throughout the day. The course was in excellent shape, and at the end of the day we had it to ourselves — several took advantage of this by playing a few extra holes. Following golf, we had a cocktail hour followed by a very hearty mechoui meal. Every golfer left with a nice gift thanks to our silent auction. We have several people committed to taking this event to new heights in the years to come. A special thanks to everyone who participated. Over $4,000 was raised for the Montreal Alumni & Friends Award, which will be given to a student(s) from the Montreal region entering Bishop’s in fall 2006.

FYI Financing university education Almost 75% of senior high school students expect to receive a scholarship for university, but only 43% actually will. Over 80% of high school students who plan on going to university expect support from their parents or families, but only half of first year university students say they actually receive such support. Parents also tend to be overly optimistic about their child’s prospects: 66% believe their child will receive a scholarship, and 64% think their child will receive a government loan or grant, whereas only 30% first-year university students actually do.

The change became effective immediately. When you donated securities previously, you had to pay tax on 25% of the increased value. This tax has been eliminated. Good news for you and for Bishop’s University. Here’s an example of tax savings to be realized by donating your securities rather than the proceeds of their sale: Donating to Bishop’s Sell Shares Donate Cash Donate Appreciated Securities Market Value $10,000 $10,000 Original Cost $ 2,000 $ 2,000 Capital Gain $ 8,000 $ 8,000 Taxable Portion of capital gain $ 4,000 (50%) $0 (0%) Capital Gain Tax Liability $ 1,840 (46%) $0 Donation $10,000 $10,000 Tax Credit from Donation $ 4,500 (45%) $ 4,500 (45%) Net tax credit $ 2,660 $ 4,500 Cost of gift $ 7,340 $ 5,500 (Marginal tax rates vary for each individual and in each province, so you should seek professional tax advice for your situation.)

The entire BU community wishes to pay a warm tribute to a remarkable colleague who, whether as a member of various committees, as Head of the Business Department or simply, as a colleague and counselor, has been a truly committed mentor for the whole University. Professor Cunningham was educated at Praetoria University in South Africa where he was born and lived until 1965 when he moved to Canada. Prior to becoming an accounting professor at BU in 1984, Professor Cunningham taught at McGill University, where he was also the Continuing Education Assistant Director. Since his arrival at BU, the accounting department has blossomed under his leadership and the University is now well recognized in the field of accounting education. Professor Cunningham has provided rigorous training and a strong background in accounting to Bishop’s students going on to further study in accounting as well as teaching the basics of accounting to business students who graduate in other concentration areas at the Williams School. He did this by concentrating on delivering excellence in his courses and tirelessly ensuring the curriculum was updated and developed. When I was asked to write approximately 500 words about Peter, as a good accountant, I immediately started counting. Impossible task indeed! • Thousands of hours studying and working to obtain the chartered accountant designation in South Africa (1964) and Canada (1978) and a MBA from McGill University (1982). • 15 years as an accountant and auditor/tax supervisor in professional firms. • 9 years at Mc Gill University as an accounting professor. • 22 years at Bishop’s. • Over 7,000 students at BU! • At least 180 courses taught at BU, as Peter was always willing to teach extra courses to help students when there were faculty shortages. • Committees, committees, committees… • Hundreds of CDS of jazz and classical music, listened, borrowed, lent and sometimes lost! • Incalculable, his love of sports, rugby in particular • Thousands of smiles and lively chats • Countless qualities, not to forget his characteristic modesty. Peter is a generous person, full of humor, and yet capable of fighting for his opinions. He is an unforgettable colleague. Peter, there is something we will not count: our many thanks for all you have accomplished and done for this University! It is difficult to envision the Accounting Department and the Williams School of Business without Professor Peter Cunningham. However, Peter, you have accomplished more than your share of work. The entire Bishop’s community will miss an exceptional teacher, an irreplaceable, kind and caring colleague. We wish you a very happy and fruitful retirement in the company of your wife and two sons. Well deserved. Camille Lessard Associate Professor, Williams School of Business years has been the unflagging support of those individuals who offered personal counselling to students. In 1990, Dr. Rosa Morell (Ph.D. Queen’s) was hired to direct the Counselling Service at Bishop’s, and few could have guessed the department would grow over her 16-year tenure to its current operation of five employees. At the outset, Rosa’s challenges were varied: managing counselling services and a diverse case load of students, most of whom were away from home for their first time and were linguistically cut off from many services in the community. As enrolment at Bishop’s continued to grow, an increasing number of students arrived with special needs. Largely thanks to the dedicated efforts of Dr. Morelli, Senate endorsed a policy in 1993 confirming the University’s commitment to provide additional services to students with special needs. When the Canada Employment Office moved off campus in 1993, Dr. Morelli assumed new responsibilities within the Department to provide career Rosa Morelli T he 1990s at Bishop’s saw the formal beginnings of a unified Student Services team whose mission includes providing a centre “where service to students is encouraged and where a caring community supports the well-being of each individual.” Paramount to the personal and academic success of a great number of students over the past 16 16 • Fall 2006 Bishop’s University News Rosa Morelli (cont’d) counselling and job search techniques to students. Today, as a result of Rosa’s leadership and vision, the Counselling and Employment Resource Centre is comprised of three full-time counsellors and two assistants who offer students personal counselling, career counselling, and special needs services. These services are complemented by a resource centre where current information on graduate programs, study and career reference material and self help books and periodicals is maintained. A peer tutoring service rounds out the offerings of the department and is available to students wishing to benefit from the help of a qualified senior student. Dr. Morelli has always maintained that service to students comes first and she has been available unfailingly to support thousands of students in their times of need — day or night. In retiring from Bishop’s, Rosa describes her future as follows: “I will do what many students do upon graduation, though it has taken me 16 academic years to do so: I will take a year off, with no commitments other than to mull over what I want to do with the rest of my life.” She does, however, plan to do some volunteer work and, as she says, “I will be giving back to the University.” The entire campus community will miss Rosa, but it is with our best wishes for her future that we bid her au revoir. We thank her for her professionalism, compassion, friendship and, most of all, for her commitment to promote the wellbeing of each individual in the Bishop’s community. Bruce Stevenson ’76 Dean of Student Affairs and Director of Ancillary Enterprises among other sensitive matters. In addition to this responsibility she has taught academic courses, prepared and delivered workshops, assisted with departmental functions and contributed to Resident Assistant training. When asked about the changes she has witnessed at Bishop’s over her career, Lies said: “I have seen women becoming more assertive and men more in touch with their feelings. Many more males are now coming in for personal counseling than 15 years ago. Although double standards still exist, along with some role confusion, I consider the narrowing of the gender gap and the wider acceptance of diversity as very positive trends.” Lies Ouwerkerk has always had a great rapport with students and she has helped establish easier access to the Counselling Service by demystifying the sometimes faulty conception of a “shrink.” She has worked hard at convincing students that it is actually not such a big deal, yet a very wise decision, to talk to her or her colleagues. Lies has counselled with an ethic of empowerment and trust, helping students pursue their goals with confidence while not holding them too tightly by the hand. She believes there is no greater satisfaction than witnessing initially struggling or confused students eventually spread their wings as confident and accomplished alumni. As a teacher, her courses Psychology of the Couple and Counselling the Older Adult became hits in the mid 90’s. The entire Bishop's community will miss Lies, and we thank her for her contributions over the years. We extend our best wishes for much success and enjoyment in her private practice and in her adventure travel, photography and other creative endeavours. Bruce Stevenson ’76 Dean of Student Affairs and Director of Ancillary Enterprises Lies Ouwerkerk I n 1991 Lies Ouwerkerk had recently emigrated from the Netherlands and was looking for employment in Canada as a psychological counsellor. When the opportunity presented itself at Bishop’s, she was immediately attracted to the idea of working at a relatively small university with a prestigious reputation , its pastoral setting and most importantly, the friendliness of its community After 15 years of service to the Counselling and Employment Resource Centre and the University community, Lies has decided to retire, to dedicate herself to her private practice in North Hatley and to continue writing a regular column in the local newspaper, The Record. The life of a counselor is by nature a very confidential one. Lies’ primary role at Bishop’s was to be available to help students deal with personal concerns related to adapting to university life, family problems, relationships, difficulties with drugs and alcohol, Fall 2006 Bishop’s University News • 17 Jacob Vida Anderson-Vida: To Lisa ’98 and Gabor a son, Jacob Francis, on July 27, 2005.

Wedding on October 7, 2006 in Cornwall. E. Roger Boothroyd ’38 on May 30, 2006. Roger was born on April 2, 1918 in Lennoxville, the youngest son of Eric “Boots” Boothroyd, Professor of History at Bishop’s, and grew up around the university. He graduated from Bishop’s and then McGill. He taught at Bishop’s 1945-46, before moving on to a professorship in the Genetics Department at McGill. Although he enjoyed research, his true love was teaching. In his 45-year career at McGill, he inspired multiple generations of students with his love for his subject and served as a mentor for many. After finally retiring, he moved to Langley BC to pursue his other love: gardening. Roger was a man of gentleness and wit, of intelligence and integrity. He will be missed by students, friends and colleagues, and by his family. He always felt most at home in Lennoxville and the Eastern Townships. His memorial service was held in St. Mark’s Chapel on June 26, 2006. His obituary requested donations to Bishop’s University Foundation. Charlie Jack Clément-Beaton, son of Marie-Hélène Clément ’96. Born on December 4, 2005. Died on December 8, 2005. Howard McConnell on June 9, 2006 in Ottawa. He was a beloved Political Science professor at Bishop’s from 1966-69. John David (Dave) Savage ’42 ave Savage ’42 died on April 26, 2006 D at the age of 84. He was a wonderful husband, father, veteran, educator, dancer, musicia and , book collector. When Dave graduated in 1942 from Bishop’s, the yearbook described him as “one of those fortunate people who can do everything at the same time — but well.” He excelled scholastically, played on several university sports teams, was president of the students’ association, and found time to act as drummer for a local group called the Jerks of Jive. He obtained a degree in math and physics but was not present at his convocation because he and others had left early to join the RCAF, thereby gaining an exemption from their final examinations. Convoys were taking troops to England in anything that would float. Dave’s transport happened to be a former banana boat, a fact he learned with some trepidation. He arrived safely and was posted to a radar installation in Devonshire where he met Peggy, his future wife, an English WAAF (Women’s Auxiliary Air Force) who was working on the same station. They were married there in 1944, a union that was to last for 61 years. Dave returned to Canada in 1945 but Peggy had to wait until she could travel with all the other war brides; she arrived in 1946 to join Dave in Montreal where he was teaching veterans at Sir George Williams University (now part of Concordia). He then took teacher training at McGill and started his career at Granby High School, in the Eastern Townships of Quebec. All four of their children (Susan, Jayne, Christopher and Murray) were born during this period. In 1960 they moved to Rosemere, Que., and he retired there as principal of the high school in 1981. In Honour The marriage of Liane Mills and Michael O’Toole Rose Mary Church In Memoriam E. Roger Boothroyd ’38 Adventium Labs Peter & Edna Barg William Grant Anne Hunter (1922-2006) Dave was a very popular teacher and administrator and years after retiring he still encountered former students who recognized him and spoke fondly of their time in his school or classroom. As an educator, he usually had the summer off. The car would be packed with everything necessary for two months of camping and off they would go, usually to New England, returning just in time for school reopening in the fall. Dave liked to entertain the backseat passengers with spirited rounds of wartime songs like K-K-K-Katy (which would always involve versions with every child’s name) and Pack Up Your Troubles in Your Old Kit Bag. Dave could play almost any musical instrument. There is a photograph of him just after the war, playing the guitar with his sister Mary on the mouth organ and his brother Peter on trombone. In retirement, Dave and Peggy moved to the West Island of Montreal and developed an interest in round dancing, a form of ballroom dancing. They made many new friends, both there and in Florida, where they spent their winters. His grandchildren enjoyed helping Grampa play the organ, tell Just So Stories from memory, and make stained-glass projects. In many respects, Dave was as British as Peggy. They made their first trip back to England in 1970 and went regularly after that. British bookstores were great sources for the illustrated books that Dave collected. Dave was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1993, but it went into remission after treatment. He had lung surgery in 2003 and recovered from that as well. In early 2006 he discovered that the original cancer was back. He died at home.
