Alumni AwardsPeter Dunn ’66: 2002 Alumnus of the Year

When the Student Executive Council voted Peter DunnMost Valuable Player on the football team in 1966, the

gesture symbolized a relationship of mutual admiration, respectand affection between Peter and Bishop’s University that haslasted over 37 years.

Peter was active on campus: Football and Hockey teams,the Quad, Business Manager, Culture Club, Autosport Club,Pantheism Club, President of Ancient Order of Froth Blowers— you wonder how he had the time to graduate in History andPolitical Science. Peter went on to study at the University ofToulouse in France and received his Master’s degree.

Peter worked for the Quebec government from 1977-2000,serving in New York, Edmonton, Vancouver and Toronto. A listof alumni receptions during that period shows that Petergenerously held gatherings of alumni and friends during histenure in the cities. He joined his brother’s investmentcounselling firm, Holdun Investment Management Inc. wherehe serves as Chairman of the Board.

Over the years, Peter has enthusiastically been willing toserve his alma mater in a variety of roles. He has opened hisoffice and his home to welcome Bishop’s alumni and friends, heorganized a successful 25th reunion for the Class of ’66 in1991, he volunteered on the Athletic Endowment Campaign in1993-94, he serves admirably on our Corporation (1987-96;1997-present), in particular, as the Chair of the Committee onLife at the University and as a member of our newly formedAthletic Advisory Board. He offers thoughtful comments andfund raising assistance on our Foundation. He is a generousphilanthropist. Peter devotes a considerable amount of timeenhancing Bishop’s reputation and fulfilling its mission andgoals. Bishop’s is a better place thanks to Peter’s tireless efforts.

Service to Bishop’s is in Peter’s blood. His greatgrandfather, Sir Herbert Holt, received a DCL (honoris causa) in1929 from Bishop’s. His parents, Tim and Pam Dunn, havebeen great friends of the University; in 1999, Pam Dunn wasawarded a DCL for her volunteerism and philanthropy on behalfof not only Bishop’s but also numerous other organizations.Peter’s brother, Robert ’68, and sisters Debra ’75 and Daryl ’76also graduated from Bishop’s. Peter and his wife, Judi, have ason, Adrian, and a daughter, Hilary.

In 1994 Bishop’s awarded Peter our SesquicentennialService Award. It is with great pleasure and gratitude the AlumniAssociation names Peter Dunn our 2002 Alumnus of the Year.

Pierre Dion ’88: University Award of Merit

Pierre Dion has had an impressive business career in the 15years since he graduated from Bishop’s. From 1990-96 he

was Vice President, Sales and Marketing for VideowayMultimedia, a division of Videotron Group. In 1996 he joinedThe Reader’s Digest Association (Canada) Ltd. as Vice-President of Marketing and was appointed President and ChiefExecutive Officer in 2001. He has already distinguished himselfin the position. Described as a “man of dynamism andcreativity,” he was awarded the prestigious Direct Marketer of

the Year Award for 2001 from the Direct Marketing Associationof Toronto and The Direct Marketing Personality of the YearAward from the Quebec Direct Marketing Association.

Pierre serves on a number of business and communityorganizations and has been a conference speaker forprofessional associations and business seminars. He generouslygives back to his alma mater. He has spoken to alumni about hiscareer, talked with Bishop’s students at our annual career day,serves on Bishop’s Corporation and was instrumental inobtaining support from Reader’s Digest to help improve thewriting skills of our students. Bishop’s is proud to award PierreDion the 2003 University Award of Merit.

Suzanne Sévigny '70: University ServiceAward

Suzanne Sévigny took full advantage of the “Bishop’sExperience” when she was studying Psychology. The

committees she served on reflect her wide range of interests:Carni, Intro, Mitre (renamed New Mitre at the time), ConcertCommittees and the XC Touring Club.

After graduation, she spent a number of years satisfying herwanderlust in various administrative positions supporting seniordiplomats in political/trade affairs in Canadian embassies inAlgiers, Rome and Mexico. In 1983 she joined the TD BankFinancial Group and for the last 20 years has served the bank in anumber of management positions, finishing her career as VicePresident, Human Resources and Administration.

Suzanne has been generous in offering her time, knowledgeand expertise on Bishop’s behalf over the years. She served onBishop’s University Foundation from 1992-97 and wasparticularly active on its Investment Committee, helping toestablish guidelines and benchmarks for the fund managers. Shehas been a member of Bishop’s Corporation since 1998 and hasserved on the Executive Committee.

To nominate candidates for these awards, see page 29.

Over the last few months, I have traveledwidely across Canada and beyond.Everywhere I have been asked whether

our increased enrolment is a goal we have beenpursuing and whether it jeopardizes the qualitieswe hold most dear. These are, of course, closecontact not only between faculty and studentsbut among students themselves. Our mostfundamental belief is that sound educationoccurs when people interact with others —teachers, mentors and colleagues — and no, ourgrowth has not jeopardized this process.

Our full-time student enrolment stands at2165, higher than any alumni will rememberfrom their days here, but lower than any otheruniversity in Canada. It is likely that our studentenrolment will stabilize at approximately 2000now that the first wave of the Ontario doublecohort has come and gone.

We seek not greater growth but the rightmix of students.What is also significant in ourcurrent enrolment is that growth has occurredprimarily in programmes that couldaccommodate it, mostly in the Humanities andthe Social Sciences, which house disciplines atthe very core of our mission. Indeed, we arehappy to report that Humanities is again thelargest division in the University, a state ofaffairs that has not been true for more than tenyears.

Our average class size has inched up overthe past ten years from 21.7 students to 24, anastonishingly low figure by current standards.Even in first year, a time when classes aregenerally larger because more courses arecompulsory, the average class size increase hasbeen marginal, from 31.2 to 35.5.

Bishop’s is still a university that prides itselfon the contact students have with dedicatedfaculty and on the sense of community amongstudents, faculty, staff and alumni. We continueto be proud of our success in creating acommunity of scholars, learners and leaders, andour students and their families recognize thatBishop’s is unique in this respect.

Other facets of our student enrolment haveindeed changed. We recruit more widely, acrossCanada and internationally. Currently, 41.8% ofour students are Quebec residents and nearlyhalf of these declare French as a first language,

48.4% are students from elsewhere in Canada,and 9.8% have international addresses. Ourstudents are now in the enviable situation ofmeeting and forming friendships with studentsfrom every Canadian province and territory andfrom 36 countries around the world. The tiesthey form today will be as strong as the ties ouralumni have formed in the past. We areeducating leaders, and the relationships ourstudents form with others from across thecountry and around the world augur well for thefuture of Canada.

Our students are also talented young menand women. Our average entering grade is80.6%, and students on scholarship representnearly one-quarter of our student body. Thesestudents have contributed to our increased rateof graduation, which now stands at 74%. Thepresence of so many scholars benefits allstudents. They inspire our faculty and influencestudents who have not entered on a scholarshipto do even better.

Our challenge in the coming years will be tocontinue to recruit students whose high school orCÉGEP experience makes them good candidatesfor university education while also admittingstudents whose leadership potential andacademic talent have yet to be proven. We arecurrently searching for the best mechanism torecognize students whose academic record maynot fairly represent the contribution they willmake to this country later in their lives. We wantto ensure that Bishop’s will welcome not onlythe students guaranteed to succeed but thosewhose potential will be released during theirtime here. This is a challenge faced by otheruniversities in Canada and in the United States.

Bishop’s is not seeking growth. We areseeking quality, accessibility and the pursuit of amission to which we are deeply committed. Wewill continue to define new approaches torecruitment and admissions and we will continueto provide, in the words of our founders, “asound and liberal education” to the young peopleof this country and beyond.

HPC comes to Bishop’s

Thanks to funding from the Canada Foundation forInnovation and the Quebec government, Bishop’s hasconstructed a multi-faceted high performance computing

(HPC) environment that provides researchers at Bishop’s andtheir collaborators with unprecedented computing power.Computer simulations allow scientists to explain the behaviourof the world around us, from modeling the interactions of drugsto understanding how the universe was born and how it isevolving.

A computer lab that takes advantage of the latestinnovations in technology (for example, gigabit inter-connectivity with videoconferencing) has been installed in thebasement of Johnson Building. The need for faster connectivityhas led to shared improvements that have benefitted allcomputer users at Bishop’s. Construction of a very powerful yetlow-cost cluster of computers (a supercomputer) has also beenpartially completed thanks to the collaboration of Dr. André-Marie Tremblay and the CCS at Université de Sherbrooke. Bypooling resources, the team has been able to installapproximately 200 Pentium 4 CPUs (like the ones found inyour PC). Another 120 CPUs will be added this summer. Thiscluster can now carry out mathematical calculations at theincredible rate of one trillion per second. The supercomputer isvery power hungry and consumes about 20 kilowatts of energy(enough to continuously heat a large home in winter).

The cluster ranks very favourably with the bestsupercomputers in Canada (in the top five) and has already beenused extensively by Dr. Lorne Nelson, Canada Research Chairin Astrophysics, and by his collaborators at MIT. It isinteresting to note that other groups, such as the one at MIT, donot presently have as much available computing power

dedicated to their exclusive use. Dr. Nelson (in collaborationwith Dr. Saul Rappaport at the Center for Space Research) hasalready used the cluster to obtain new results on the propertiesof X-ray pulsars and presented them at an international meetingof astronomers. The cluster is also being used by Dr. SylvainTurcotte who recently joined the Bishop’s astrophysics researchgroup and by several undergraduate students who are workingon their honours dissertations. These students, in conjunctionwith Dr. Nelson, will present the results of their research at theupcoming American Astronomical Society meeting in Atlanta inJanuary 2004.

The supercomputer can carry out one trillion mathematicalcalculations per second. The computer will help Dr. Lorne Nelson andother Bishop’s faculty to conduct their research.

Bishop’s University studio theatre opened in 1989 as theConsolidated-Bathurst Studio Theatre in recognition of thecorporation’s generous gift to Bishop’s University. William

I.M. Turner Jr., Chief Executive Officer of Consolidated-Bathurst at the time, was instrumental in securing the gift thatmade possible the construction of this theatre.

Chancellor of Bishop’s University from 1987-1995, BillTurner promotes articulately and persuasively the value of aBishop’s degree. Reflecting his commitment to good teaching,he and his wife, Nancy, introduced a prestigious award torecognize an outstanding professor each year. In 1989 heestablished a Chair in Christianity in the Department ofReligious Studies. In 1987, Bishop’s awarded him its highesthonor, the degree of Doctor of Civil Law (honoris causa).

Chairman and CEO of Exsultate Inc. since 1990, BillTurner serves on numerous boards including Schroeders plc.,the Carnegie Institution of Washington, and the WorldEconomic Forum. He was appointed a Member of the Order of

Canada in 1986 for his distinguished role in the spheres ofbusiness, community services, education and the arts.

Bill continues to offer Bishop’s University his leadershipand expertise, serving as an Honorary Trustee of Corporation, aDirector of the University’s Foundation, and an ardent supporterof the Gaiters.

Paterson Hall Inaugurated

Bishop’s new residence was inaugurated as Paterson Hall onHomecoming Day, October 4, 2003. The residence isnamed in honor of Alex Paterson ’52 DCL ’74, Chancellor

of the University. “It is appropriate that we name this building,which will help generations of students to benefit from theirtime at Bishop’s, in honor of a graduate who has workedenergetically to make Bishop’s a better place for students,faculty and staff,” said Janyne Hodder, Principal.

Alex Paterson led a distinguished law career in Montrealand gained renown for his adroitness in negotiations, managingeven the most challenging of situations with elegance. Themany awards bestowed upon him attest to his dedicated serviceto Montreal, Quebec and Canada: Officer of the Order of Canadaand the Order of Quebec, Queen’s Council, Medal of the Bar ofMontreal, Member of the Academy of Great Montrealers.

Alex Paterson has served Bishop’s University with thesame energy and devotion. He sat on the Bishop’s Corporationfrom 1967-88, including terms as Chair of the ExecutiveCommittee and President of the Corporation. He was namedChancellor in 1995 and reappointed to Corporation that sameyear. In 1974 Bishop’s awarded him its highest honor: Doctor ofCivil Law (honoris causa).

Alex and his wife, Joan, epitomize the characteristics thatBishop’s attempts to instill in its graduates: compassion,wisdom, tolerance, intelligence, and an infectious zest for life.

Alex’s great grandfather, The Honorable George Irvine,was Chancellor of Bishop’s from 1875-78. Of their fourchildren, Robb, Tim, Angie and Alex, the latter two graduatedfrom Bishop’s in 1980 and 1983, as did their son-in-law PeterArndt in 1981 and their niece Valerie Chafe Hinsperger in 1978.

“This is a great honor for me and my wife Joany,” saidAlex Paterson. “I’ve always claimed that Bishop's changed mylife and I hope students in this residence — and all Bishop’sstudents — find their university years as rewarding as I did.”

To celebrate the occasion, Alex wrote a poem for students:May Paterson Hall forever, Be a place for study and fun.For serious reading and research,Combined with laughter and sun.May all who live in residence,Find new knowledge, new friends and new ways,That will stay with you while here,And last for the rest of your days.And if you wake in this building,With a face painted purple and white,Don’t worry, many before youSurvived a similar plight.So thank you for coming to Bishop’s,Good luck in all that you do,Have a good time as we did,But be sure to graduate too.

Life in Paterson Hall

Students in Paterson claim they live in the best residence oncampus. But when they first saw Paterson Hall on LabourDay weekend, they got quite a shock. The building was

PINK. They were relieved to learn that the colour was notpermanent — red brick would cover the pink insulation.Paterson Hall offers students a suite style residence. Eachapartment has four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a sharedliving room and kitchen. Students, however, had a crash courseon communal living for their first three weeks. The residencewas not completed by Labour Day weekend, so those whoseapartments were not finished had to camp out in the livingrooms of the completed section.

The arrangement worked out well for the most part. Onesecond year student who was camped out in the living room offirst year students gave them tips on how to adjust to life atBishop’s. “The living room hasn’t been the same since she left.

We met her roomates, her friends and the friends of herroomates, so we were able to meet a lot of people in a shorttime.”

Not all arrangements were a great success. Four upper yearstudents had the “Frosh King” camped out in their apartment.“He was a nice guy, but he drank quite a bit. And not having aliving room was quite inconvenient. Our common area was thekitchen and dining room, and we had only four chairs. Now wecan have people over and enjoy entertaining them in the livingroom.”

Then there was the construction on the unfinished part ofthe building that started at 7 a.m. every morning. Now that it’sover, students look on the bright side of things. “You’d besurprised by how much you can get done when you get upearly.” “At least it got me to class on time — even though Ihave no morning classes.” “We became more connected, abonding through negatives.”

The best thing about living in residence: • independence: no supervision, no curfew, no parents• setting your own schedule• responsibility• meeting so many other people your own age

The worst thing:• cleaning up after yourself• having less money• having no one to take care of the little details you tend to

forget• budgeting• cooking• being away from your family

My parents would be surprised to learn:• that I can cook• that I eat my vegetables • how much I get done on my days off• how little TV I watch (it helps that cable television isn’t

installed in Paterson Hall yet)• how much time I spend studying when I don’t watch TV• that Kraft dinner can be served for breakfast, lunch and

dinner• that I am a morning person• how much time you can waste playing cards, checking

e-mail, or talking on MSN

Six multimedia rooms on campus have new computerizedcontrols that make them a pleasure to use. A single touch on aconsole, for example, will activate all the specific equipmentrequired for a particular presentation. The "smart-board" allowsa lecturer to project on the whiteboard any prepared materialfrom computer files, to embellish the projected image beforethe class and to re-save the material so that it can be availablelater to students. This can be done easily and naturally withinthe flow of the lecture.

Dr. Christopher Essex, author of the recently released TakenBy Storm: The Troubled Science, Policy and Politics of GlobalWarming, gave a presentation titled “Global Warming and theLaughter of the Gods."

Students in the business administration programme of le cégepde Granby Haute-Yamaska will now be able to complete theirDEC (diplôme d’études collégiales) and their BBA fromBishop’s University in five, rather than six, years, thanks to anagreement between the two institutions. Students who graduatein the three-year Business programme at the francophonecégep will receive 30 credits towards a Bishop’s degree inbusiness. Students must have an average of 80% and be ableto communicate in English. “This is a service for institutions inthe Eastern Townships region,” explains Bill Robson, Dean ofthe Williams School of Business & Economics. A similaragreement is being studied for Collège de Sherbrooke.

The Bishop’s University men’s rugby team captured the 2003Quebec University Rugby Championship, the highest title foruniversity men’s rugby, by a score of 16-11 over McGillRedmen. It was their first league title since 1998. The Gaitershad lost two regular season games to the Redmen, andentered the game as underdogs. Coach Bill Robson found thevictory particularly sweet as the programme celebrates its 20thanniversary.

Larry Legault resigned from his position as Head FootballCoach on 30 October 2003 after a seven year affiliation withthe team, citing family considerations. Legault joined Bishop’sDepartment of Athletics in 1997 as the offensivecoordinator/recreation assistant. He was promoted to HeadCoach of the football team after former head coach Tom Allenretired at the end of the 2001 season.

“Bishop’s University thanks Larry for his dedication andloyalty to the football program and the Department of Athleticsas a whole,” said Tony Addona, Director of Athletics. Tony willtake over the head coaching responsibilities until a suitablereplacement is found.

The shift towards a knowledge-based economy in Canada was a morewidespread and continuous process than analysts previously thought, and was notrestricted to narrow areas of interest, such as high-tech sectors. In 1971, about14% of Canada's workforce fell into high-knowledge occupations. By 2001, thisproportion had almost doubled to 25%.

Growth occurred across most industries. In 1971, 34% of knowledge workershad university degrees, compared with slightly less than 3% of other workers. By2001, 52% of all workers in knowledge-intensive occupations had a universitydegree, compared with less than 10% of those in other occupations.

Fire in KelownaRuth McKeague ’79 describes her experience

(In August 2002 Ruth McKeage ’79 retired from privatepractice as a Counselling Psychologist in Sherbrooke and sheand her husband, Antoine Lahoud, moved to Kelowna)

Our first summer in Kelowna was one thatmade history, unparalleled by any otherrecords of heat, dry spells and fires.

Mother Nature unleashed her strength and powerin a matter of minutes.

Shortly after midnight on 16 August 2003, alightening bolt struck a tinder-dry tree on theOkanagan mountain. Ninety minutes laterflames were burning at level four — the highestis six. A day later the size of the fire hadreached 1,100 hectares. Kelowna was choked under densesmoke and the smell of burning wood. Many residents wereevacuated to shelters and motels. The next day the wind turnedand the fire roared towards more residents. The fire had nowreached 13,000 hectares. Burning embers fell everywhere, andpeople wore masks to filter particles. Flames lept more than 125metres and swept towards the center of the city. The windspushed the flames up to 100 metres a minute. One-third of thecity of 130,000 were told to immediately evacuate their homes,the second largest evacuation in Canadian history.

Hundreds of firefighters from across Canada came to fightthe fire, plus 2,600 Canadian soldiers, many volunteers, 200pieces of heavy equipment, and 20 helicopters and planes thatconstantly roared over us, picking up water with their buckets.Exhausted pilots worked 19 or more hours a day dumping wateron the fires, which had grown to 23,600 hectares. More peoplewere evacuated.

The fire claimed 16 of 19 historic train trestles, anengineering marvel nearly 100 years old that climbed from1,100 to 4,000 feet above sea level. We were fortunate to havewalked the trestles and witnessed the historic work andbeautiful scenery before the fire.

With all our parks closed, no swimming, no boating andmany streets closed, we found ourselves very restricted andlimited. We could only wait to see which way the raging firewould turn. As we strolled along the shoreline one day, wewitnessed the most spectacular, yet eerie, sight. The forest wasexploding into a sky of firestorm red, and the sun, the sky andthe moon were reflected in the shimmering waters. We weresurround by a sea of red. We experienced a sense ofhelplessness in Mother Nature’s grip.

Farmers desperately tried to save their livestock, but manyanimals were burned. The horses were loaded into trailers andtaken to safe places. Many wild animals made their way into thecity — bears, big horn goats, deer, moose and even birds wereseeking refuge. Today there is a project called “Project Fawn,”an effort to feed deer and other ungulates (hoofed animals)displaced by the fires.

I volunteered much of my time and skills as a CounsellingPsychologist to help families learn coping methods to deal with

the fire. We invited families to dinner sothey could enjoy a break from theshelters and motel rooms. Many childrenhad lost their homes, their bikes, theirtoys and were suffering from theseparation from their pets and friends.

Colder weather and rain finallyquenched the fire. Mother Nature startedthe fire and put it out. By September 7, all residents of Kelownawere able to return home.

We received many e-mails and telephone calls from ourfriends and family around the world, including Pam Graham inBishop’s Alumni Office. Our children in Australia were veryworried about our safety.

From the ashes blossomed a sense of closeness amongmembers of this community, a feeling that will last for manyyears to come.

The aftermath of the fire is still being felt. I spoke with acouple who did not lose their home, but who said perhaps itwould have been better if they had lost it. Everything is coveredwith ashes: the children cannot play outside, they have noelectricity or sewers, no trees, and no neighbours or friends.They are alone in the middle of black, dirty, wet ashes. Otherswho lost their homes are renting, and for many it will take atleast a year to rebuild, as contractors are overloaded with work.

Ruth McKeage ’79

Facts about the fire• 238 homes were lost in the Kelowna area. Insurers

estimate $750,000 per loss when additional living costsand other expenses are combined with replacement ofhomes and property.

• Insurers face approximately 1,000 claims of smokedamage.

• Direct impact on the city infrastructure and property isestimated to be over $1million.

• Preliminary assessment of business losses suggestdamages may reach $80 million.

• Total burn area: 26,000 hectares

One-third of the residents of Kelowna wereevacuated from their homes, the secondlargest evacuation in Canadian history.

Why does my digital photo look sosmall in Bishop’s University News?You’ve probably noticed that a number of photos in

this publication are very small. Digital photos that are shotin a low resolution and look great on your computerscreen do not translate well into the print medium. Lowresolution photos become pixelated when they areincreased to a larger size.

The above blowup of individuals in the rugby photo onpage 19 shows how a picture becomes fuzzy whenincreased in size.

If you are shooting digital photos that you wish to bepublished in Bishop’s University News, please be sure toshoot it at the highest resolution possible. This is evenmore important for group shots, as a low-resolution photois often too small for readers to recognize people in thepicture.

To avoid disappointment, before you take a photo,increase the resolution to the highest possible setting onyour camera and, with a group photo, move in as closeas possible.

Bishop’s receives bequest of $4.3 million

Bishop’s University received the largest gift in its history:a bequest of $4,300,000. The gift comes from the estateof the late Florence May Foreman, formerly of

Vancouver, B.C. Harry Smith ’53, her cousin, wrote thefollowing description of Miss Foreman who for the pastseveral years has been contributing anonymously to Bishop’s.

Florence Foreman (1914-2003) was born in Swift Current,Saskatchewan. Growing up in rural Saskatchewan in the hard-luck days of the 20s and 30s brought out in Miss Foreman apassionate caring for the less fortunate. During the depressionyears of prolonged drought, Florence’s parents – Doug andMay Foreman, both native Quebecers – used their previouslyacquired affluence to help struggling farmers and others.Florence never forgot the hardships she had seen, felt a certainembarrassment for the privileged life of comfort she enjoyed,and went on to live a life that was the very essence ofcompassion and selfless humanity.

Miss Foreman’s innate shyness was reflected in herabundant philanthropic interests always being carried out inquiet anonymity. She was a steadfast believer in the enrichingcontribution of teaching and research to Canada and tohumanity as a whole. Her keen and long-held interest in highereducation, with all the generous support this entailed, will bean important part of Miss Foreman’s enduring legacy.

Harry Smith said that, afterreading an issue of Bishop’sUniversity News, Miss Foremancommented on theunpredictability of governmentfunds and the need for individualCanadians to support universitiesand research. Miss Foreman alsobelieved in giving toorganizations where hercontributions would achievesignificant good.

With respect for MissForeman’s wishes and for thelong-term needs of theUniversity, the gift will be addedas a trust to the Bishop'sUniversity Foundation. The income from the fund(approximately $200,000 annually) will support scholarships,research and the Art Gallery.

Generous individuals have invested in Bishop’s mission asa primarily undergraduate university ever since theUniversity’s founding in 1843. In recent times, David Williams ’63 DCL ’96 gave $3,000,000 in 1996 andRichard Tomlinson ’43, DCL ’89 donated $3,700,000 in 1999.

Florence Foreman, lifelongphilanthopist, believed inthe enriching contributionof teaching and research toCanada and to humanity.

Bishop’s University Foundation Endowment

“Ihave been in love with Spainever since I was a little girl.When adults asked me what I

wanted to do when I grew up, I hadtwo answers: I will teach and I willgo to Spain. Don’t ask me where myideas came from. I’m from QuebecCity and no one in my family hadanything to do with Spain.” Dr.Céline Dudemaine, who teachesHispanic Studies at Bishop’s, ishappy to have a career that allows herto realize both her dreams.

When Dr. Dudemaine teachesSpanish civilization and culture, shetalks about her experiences in Spain.“Students enjoy learning details thatcannot be found in textbooks. Forexample, I like to tell my studentsabout my reaction to the SagradaFamilia in Barcelona, the unfinished cathedral of Spanisharchitect Antoni Gaudi. After visiting many museums andcathedrals in Spain, I was looking for something different.When I saw the cathedral in Barcelona, I was speechless. It isunlike any other cathedral, and something you never forget. Theoutside is very impressive, and the inside is empty. It wasstarted in 1883 and architects are still working on it.”

Students not only hear about life in Spain, they get a littletaste of its cuisine. In the last class of her civilization andculture course, Dr. Dudemaine brings in Spanish food — olives,cheese (last year a student from Spain had his mother sendcheese for the students) and turrón, a traditional Christmassweet in Spain.

Dr. Dudemaine is always looking for new approaches toteach Spanish. “I like to try something that may at first seemcrazy to students but, once they do it, they realize that it not

only was different but was also effective.” Take for instance,her composition class. “We play with words. When I tellstudents to write a poem in Spanish, they think they cannot doit. But it works very well. At the end of the course I give themback the poems they have written.”

When students learn in conversation class that they have tofind an Hispanic person and videotape an interview in whichthey are expected to control the conversation, they think it’s toodifficult an assignment. “Every year students come with theirtapes and tell me it was a very good experience. They learn totalk with people outside the classroom, people they do not knowvery well. I try to get them to do things that are close to reality.”Every year students visit Spain and other Spanish countries onBishop’s exchange programme and Dr. Dudemaine wants toprepare them for the experience.

Dr. Dudemaine is proud of her work in developing theHispanic Studies programme at Bishop’s. “We have grown fromteaching language courses in Spanish to offering a major, minorand certificate in Hispanic Studies. I believe we have a goodreputation for the quality of our language teaching in Quebecand with the Spanish Embassy.” The proof is in the excellentresults of Bishop’s students who complete the internationalexam in Spanish as a second language held at Bishop’s everyyear under the auspices of the Ministry of Education of Spain.

Dr. Dudemaine’s specialization is linguistics and she iswriting a book, El Español: De la Lengua Segunda a laLingüística, for students who have learned Spanish as a secondlanguage without a previous knowledge of linguistics. “There isonly one textbook in the world published for such students, andit is full of errors and has not been revised since 1992.” Dr.Dudemaine has written over 50% of her book, and has alreadyused it in her linguistics course. “It’s very helpful. Whenstudents find problems with my draft, I can make changesaccordingly.” Dr. Dudemaine has already approached a Spanishpublisher who is interested. She wants her book to be publishedin Spain “because Spain is my heart.”

Over 100 alumni & friends returned tocampus for the Classes of ’92, ’93, ’94reunion at homecoming this year.Although the weather and football resultcould have been a bit better, everyoneseemed to have a great time from themoment they arrived on campus.

From the Cleghorn Common Room,to the Lion, to Dewies, Coulter Field, backto Dewies, and finally to the Pub (or Liondepending on musical tastes), reunionparticipants showed current BU studentsthat they still know how to enjoy theBishop’s Experience!

Nicole Hendershot’s message reflectsthe feeling of many alumni:

“It was so nice to be back at Bishop’s. Ihave missed being there, and it feltawesome to be ‘home’ again. Bishop’swas such a special time in my life andit is great to see that things haven’tchanged. I had a nice chat with a girl inher third year. She said it was amazingto see so many alumni back. Watchingus having so much fun and feeling soclose after 10 years confirmed herfeelings for the school. No other schoolhas the bond, closeness, and wonderfulatmosphere that Bishop’s has. I hungout with people I never really knewwhen I was attending — atHomecoming, it was as though wewere long lost friends. What otheruniversity has that? Bishop’s truly is a special place.”

On 13 August 2003, Bishop’s losta great friend and the EasternTownships an outstanding

community leader when Dr. Jim Rossdied. His funeral was held in St. Mark’sChapel on August 16 with an overflowcrowd of friends and family.

Dr. Ross was by profession andqualification a General Surgeon. Hestarted out in Ormstown as a GeneralPractitioner and never lost the ability to listen to friends andpatients, advising hundreds of individuals and families in theTownships during his career. He carried out his practice inSherbrooke Hospital and was a dedicated teacher and memberof the active staff. He served as Chief of Surgery and Directorof Professional Services at the hospital.

Dr. Ross married Mary Lynn Boys in 1956, and they hadfour children: Tony, Heather, Andy and Peter.The Community

In the community, Jim could be found everywhere.Founding member of the Eastern Townships Regional SchoolBoard, Founding President of Townshippers’ Association, Chairof Alliance Quebec and Chair of the Regional Health Council,longtime President of Lake Massawippi Water ProtectionAssociation. When people needed a leader, Jim always wasready to serve.Bishop’s University

Jim joined Bishop’s Corporation in 1971 and stayed for 19years, serving as President in 1979 and 1980 and on theAdvisory Board from 1980-84. As in every field of hisendeavours, he was an innovator. He founded the Bishop’s

University Student Adult Service and acted as its Director until1977. For his service to Bishop’s and the community, Jim wasawarded an Honorary Degree in 1994.Athletics

Jim was a superb athlete and conquered many friends onthe squash and tennis courts. His great love was the outdoorsand he skied both downhill and cross-country in the winter andcanoed in the summer. He conducted himself in athletics as hedid in the rest of his activities. He did not follow prepared trailsor well-known waterways — he was constantly exploring andcharting new courses. These qualities made him such anoutstanding leader.

Dr. Ross was my friend for over 30 years. I will alwaysremember that, notwithstanding his extraordinaryaccomplishments, he remained modest and quiet with adelightful sense of humour.

We will all miss him and send our deepest sympathy to hisfamily.

Alex K. Paterson ’52, DCL ’74, Chancellor

I noted with sadness the passing of Dr. (Jim) Ross. Twentyyears ago when I was at BU, I was 20 something and Dr. Rosswas 50 something. I would search him out for a squash gamefrom time to time. Despite being 30 years my senior, hemanaged to stand on the T and wollop me.

I played squash recently and told my partner here in HongKong that my game that day was in honour of Dr. Ross, a man30 years my senior who used to stand on the T and beat mehands down. In fitting tribute my partner went on to beat me inthe same manner.

Dr. Ross set a shining example for us both on and off thecourt.

Through the Years

Dr. StephenCunnane ’75recentlyreceived one ofthe prestigiousCanadaResearchChairs fundedby the federalgovernment. Totake up this new position, he hasmoved from the University ofToronto to the Research Centeron Aging, Sherbrooke UniversityGeriatric Institute in Sherbrooke.

His subject of study will be therole of dietary fats in brain functionduring aging. Over 20 per cent ofpeople 65 years or more live withcognitive disorders, i.e. theirmemory, language and reasoningabilities gradually deteriorate. Themore severe cases of memoryloss occur in Alzheimer’s disease,which 238,000 Canadians had in2001.

Stephen is working on thehypothesis that the onset ofcognitive dysfunction maycoincide with a significant changein the way the body uses dietaryfats. One of the changes ofparticular interest to his researchgroup is in the body's use ofpolyunsaturated fatty acids(PUFA).

Stephen is a leading expert onthe metabolism and health

attributes of PUFA, which areabundant mainly in fish but arealso found in flaxseed andsoybean oils. With his team at theUniversity of Toronto (where heworked for the past 17 years), heshowed that these fats areimportant not only because theysupply substances required bybrain membranes but alsobecause they give rise to fuels forthe brain, In humans, the brainuses more energy for its weightthan any other organ, so keepingit adequately supplied with fuel isan important challenge.

At Université de Sherbrooke,Stephen will study how the bodyof an older person uses fatty acidsto better understand how dietaryfats affect the function of thebrain. His studies will target threeseparate groups: 1. the elderlywith normal memory, 2. the elderlywith declining brain function,especially memory, and 3.younger persons (20-30 and 50-60) with normal or prematurelyfailing memory.

His research could make itpossible to predict who is at risk ofundergoing a loss of brain functionand memory, as well as todevelop prevention strategiessuch as dietary recommendationsand specific medication.
