The Business of Art

H ow does teaching skiing for four months at Alpe d’Uez above the tree line (6000'-11000') lead

to owning an art gallery in London, Ontario with a nation-wide reputation for specializing in contemporary Canadian and international art?

When Michael Gibson graduated in 1981 with a BBA, he set short-term goals that would take him abroad. He attended Trois-Pistoles French Immersion School in the summer, learning enough French to succeed in getting employment in France.

There he made friends who embraced the arts and worked in retail for the first time, two experiences that would serve him well later on. After the ski season ended, he lived in Paris “where going to museums, galleries and art auctions was as common as going to the Lion Pub in Lennoxville.”

On his return to Canada in late 1982 he landed a job at Richardson Greenshields in his hometown of London. Michael recalls visiting many independent retail shops, including a business called Roth Art, during his lunch breaks.

“The owner had the street smarts in business one does not acquire from a business degree, which I found truly fascinating. He had an active framing business and small dynamic poster shop and was importing and distributing the posters from Europe throughout Canada.”

The two became friends, and Michael took on the job as his sales representative for Canada. In 1984, at age 26, Michael purchased the business.

He housed the business in several locations in downtown London before moving to his current one in 1997. At that time he hired an architect to help design the space.

“Build it and they will come was clearly our vision,” says Michael. “We won a silver award from the National Post Design Exchange Awards for small renovations.”

“I dropped the framing and craft sections of my business and put 100% of my efforts into selling exclusively original art and looking to high-end markets,” declares Michael. “At the time selling original art constituted only 20% of my business, so it was a leap of faith.”

It proved to be the right move. Michael was privileged to purchase the building in 2006, and his gallery claims national renown.

In 1998 Michael was accepted as a member of the Art Dealers Association of Canada, a 90-member group of his peers, and served as President of its Board of Directors from 2007-09.

“Placing original art in private homes, private businesses and public collections is an art in itself. I do not sell a useable or consumed product. I create demand

for something of which, in many people’s minds, there is an endless supply.”

While his business has evolved into tax and estate planning, collection management, the purchase and resell market, and donation and insurance appraisals, his main focus continues to be working with artists.

Through ten annual exhibitions, in-depth catalogues, and lively public events, his gallery promotes the work of the best emerging and established regional and national artists.

He’s participated in 20 art fairs in cities such as New York, Chicago and Miami, as well as the Toronto art fair in the fall every year since its inception.

Michael offers the following advice: “Find something you are emotionally involved in to make your living. Vision, passion and hard work represent a strong combination. Seek change and the opportunities it brings. Travel, even day trips, can expose you to new people and ideas you would not encounter otherwise.”

He concludes by saying, “be honest and realize business is about relationships. Success is not just about money.”

An Artist Takes Shape

Bottom: “How do you feel today? can be defined as a mixture of a concrete form that possesses its own order, while simultaneously suggesting an abstraction from natural phenomena. With both an internal and external form that consists in an uninterrupted interplay of fluid planes, the sculpture suggests the existence of a fourth or fifth dimension. My sculpture aims to provide an aesthetic experience in which participants find themselves not only thinking but also feeling and relating.”

Top: Régine works on a new piece, the first of a series of cardboard sculptures.

Régine Neumann initially enrolled at Bishop’s to learn how to draw and to

sculpt. “I thought sculpture simply entailed making figures out of clay or carving in stone or wood,” she recalls. Her attraction to the studio courses led to four years of intensive studies, including a semester at the University of Wuppertal in Germany, and a degree in Honours Fine Arts Studio.

During a visit to Berlin, Régine learned of a sculpture competition in Italy that invited students from European art schools and academies to submit a sculpture with the potential to appeal to the senses of sight and touch. Fifty-nine competitors from the European Union entered the competition.

“My experience of entering – and then winning – the competition laid the groundwork for my present research and practice in sculpture.”

After graduating in 2011 and starting to sculpt full-time, she took the opportunity to study at the Arts Students League of New York and also participated in several group exhibitions.

“I liked visiting art museums, looking at contemporary art, and meeting other students, teachers, artists and critics. However, although New York, Berlin or Milano offer great places for seeing and studying art, I benefitted even more from my Bishop’s education.”

Régine claims her professors helped her discover who she is and what art is. “For the past couple of years, my participation in Dr. Jim Benson’s experiential learning projects allowed me to acquire a

solid technical and visual language from which my personal work has emerged. I recognize this experience enables me to express myself in a more nuanced and profound way.”

Régine also grew to appreciate how much time and effort it takes to become an artist.

“One can’t force it; one can only prepare the conditions to allow art to happen. From this perspective, a few years of studying is not sufficient.”

Régine is currently working on pieces based on an enlargement of a classical sculpture, one of the experiential learning projects. (See page 16 for a photo of Régine sculpting the piece.)

A version that includes a head and arms will be installed at the “The Quebec House of Prayer,” formerly Lennoxville’s popular Elmwood and, before that, the residence of Lucius Doolittle, bursar of Bishop’s for its first 12 years of existence.

The conventional icon without the head and arms will be installed at the Uplands Museum in Lennoxville.

Working on these projects inspired Régine’s latest sculpture, How do you feel today? (left).

Her procedure consists of an exploration of the plastic possibilities of known or new sculptural materials and is informed by traditional sculpting techniques as well as by methods used in contemporary design manufacturing.

Régine won first prize of $10,000 for How do you feel today? in a national sculpture competition organized by Kingsbrae Garden in St. Andrews NB.

The accidental photographer

left: One of Finn’s photos in a series for Tourism Toronto promoting an athletic city. Olympic gymnast Alexandra Orlando models.

Finn began by shooting landscapes but later discovered a joy in portraits. “Photographing people can be intimidating. Intense. While landscape shots unfold before you, portraits require you to get involved with your subject.”

“You need to establish a line of trust. If my subjects think they’re in capable hands, and believe I’ll make them look good, more often than not I get a great photograph.”

He likes to shoot people in their own environment, enhancing or highlighting the natural lighting through his strobes. He uses film as well as digital. “Film is a slow, finite process. You commit to every frame, getting 12 shots to a roll. On the other hand, you can shoot digital endlessly and perhaps even faster than photography is intended.”

Everything in Finn’s business starts from his website, his foremost marketing tool. Several years ago he began writing a blog as another means of promoting his work.

He also puts the writing skills of his English degree to use in directing for ad agencies. To get the gigs he must write treatments of 1500 words or more that both explain the project and reflect his personality.

Being self-taught in photography, Finn says he had a lot to learn in the first four years. He has mastered his art. His long list of clients include the Toronto Maple Leafs, Nike and Sport Chek, as well as Time, ESPN The Magazine, Toronto Life and others.

In another happy accident, Finn was assigned to photograph Chris Jones ’96 and his father for Esquire magazine. “Chris was my radio station manager at Bishop’s for a year. I was thrilled to reconnect with him after such a long time.”

As words of advice, Finn says: “Get a job you love. Now.”

www.finnohara.com

F inn O’Hara loves happy accidents. “They’re the unknown fruit. You can’t plan or construct them, yet they happen because you’ve opened yourself up for them.”

One such “accident” occurred when he travelled to the UK to visit family and to shop around his portfolio. Finn set up an interview with the photo director of Wallpaper, a leading architecture, design, fashion, art and lifestyle magazine. The conversation seemed pro forma; Finn left disheartened. Three weeks later he got a call to shoot a 19-page story featuring Toronto.

The assignment remains his biggest and one that proved his capability to produce for top tier magazines.

His father worked for Kodak when he immigrated to Ontario from England at age two, so Finn acquired a familiarity with photography from an early age. However, his professional inspiration came from an internship at Shift Magazine in 1997-98.

“The magazine had a talented art department and the country’s best photo editor. I saw how the industry worked from the inside. Friends at the magazine encouraged me to pursue photography, so I quit my job and started at the bottom.”

B orn and raised in Serbia with a classical education in art, Nana Veljovic decided at the beginning

of her career to cross the continents to Canada. The year was 1993. War and chaos in former Yugoslavia left a small window only for a prosperous future for her family.

“My freedom began when I settled in Canada and divorced my husband,” says Nana. “It was a difficult time but one full of hopes and dreams for my young daughter and me.”

Within a short time Nana enrolled at Bishop’s where she earned a degree in Honours Fine Arts Studio, winning a prize for her evident talent as an artist. She remembers those years as one of the greatest periods in her life.

“I relished learning, being inspired and developing lifelong friendships amid amazing artists and teachers such as David Sorensen and Margaret Lawther.’’

Just as writers express their ideas and feelings through words, Nana takes an empty canvas and fills it with a coded language of colors and geometric shapes.

“My paintings are born of a great need, that is a basic sense of survival, the need to find a certain hope in the human condition, a reaction to the loss and the wastefulness that surround us in the contemporary world,” she explains. “In a sense, my paintings represent a personal diary.”

Memories of the war and bombing in Serbia haunted Nana, leading to depression and a reluctance to exhibit. At the time she was working on a “Babylon’’ series of paintings. An artist from Creatio Artists Centre in Magog came to Nana’s studio and collected her work to be exhibited. Those paintings are now in the Loto-Québec collection.

“I contributed money from the sale of my paintings to help families in the war zone. The solidarity and understanding

demonstrated by fellow artists and my friends helped me renew my hope in humanity, love and the future despite the darkness that blanketed me. I remain forever grateful to them.”

Nana relates the lesson she learned: “Even a small, good gesture in life creates a ‘butterfly effect’ of light and happiness. Through such acts we can make our world a better place for all of us.”

Nana painted and exhibited throughout those years of tribulation. Her work was featured in different group and single-artist shows at museums and galleries, including the Musée de Beaux-Art, Musée du Séminaire and Horace Gallery in Sherbrooke, as well as the Creatio in Magog.

After 17 years in the Townships, she moved to Toronto to be near her daughter who is studying psychology.

Nana continues to work, paint and follow her dreams.

The building will offer inviting social spaces for students, faculty, staff and the community to congregate.

For instance, plans include the construction of a rooftop terrace, facing north to Coulter field.

A new main entrance, also facing Coulter field, will open into a spacious reception area.

A large, bright lounge – complete with WiFi, food service and comfortable chairs – will attract people to the building.

This project represents the single largest infrastructure investment in the history of Bishop's.

The governments of Canada and Québec will each contribute $13.25 million, while the Ville de Sherbrooke will provide $3 million.

The grants cover the construction costs only. The University’s Foundation will seek private donations to fund other costs such as equipment and bleachers.

Scheduled to begin in March 2013, construction should be completed by September 2014.

Light and life will characterize the Centre when it gets fit.

Campus Notes

S tephen Mendel ’76 appeared on campus in June to film Walter, a child-focused live action series of

episodes featuring a comical character seeking to resolve everyday ecological issues. Stephen plays a bookshop owner who often finds a lead or a solution to the conundrums by browsing through books.

Stephen plays the guitar and sings with a group of folk musicians when he’s off-stage–camera. He also skis, teaches scuba diving, runs, backpacks, cycles and practices aiki-jutsu.

H is path to a pitch on CBC’s Dans l’oeil du dragon began as an assignment in an entrepreneurship class in 2010: create a product, bring it to life, prepare a business plan

and present it in a Dragon’s Den competition at Bishop’s. Alex Gagnon-Sckoropad ’13 and his team won the prize

then. Two years later Alex on his own secured funding of $150,000 from two dragons on the French television show.

His uncle invented and patented the product ten years earlier: prefabricated, automatic outdoor gates. The prestigious gates are transportable and easily installed. Clients need only supply electricity to them.

Working from a facility in Magog, Alex currently markets his master gates throughout Quebec and aims to develop distribution channels in Ontario, Western Canada and the US.

Campus Notes

S amantha, stand up, and Jessica stand

up. Why do you think these two are standing? asks Reza Satchu, the smooth talking millionaire who founded The Next 36. That’s just a typical moment in one of the demanding classes of the program.

Thirty-six students f rom Canad ian universities take MBA level courses and are assigned to teams of four, given $30,000 in seed capital and must start a mobile-related business, all within eight months.

Students are also paired with CEO mentors. I was fortunate to be put with Bishop’s alumnus Peter Lamantia ’88 and Jordan Banks of Facebook Canada.

The program was a roller coaster that constantly put us in uncomfortable positions and in situations with a high risk of failure. The philosophy: if you feel comfortable you’re not learning.

My team created a mobile app to play along with live sports. We launched the application, Row1Sports.com, at a conference in Boston and then sought capital to continue our venture once the program ended.

The Bishop’s community in the GTA proved to be unbelievably supportive and inspiring.

Despite graduating, I am still surrounded by purple. Samantha Juraschka ’12

T he Big Dig, as the project was dubbed, involves upgrading and replacing underground infrastructure drainage and water conduits that have deteriorated over the years and can

cause problems when the river rises. Estimated to cost $700,000, the work (between Johnson and Centennial) is funded by subsidies from MELS and was completed by late August.

While a few old bottles, bricks and a horseshoe were discovered on the site, no hidden treasures or surprises were dug up.

Project Malawi

The Big Dig

Surrounded by purple

T he Crossing Borders’ research cluster invites students to participate in a research-based program in the Kasungu region of Malawi, Africa.

Participants live in the rural village of Makupo and, during their five-week stay, engage in creating and exploring their research interests in conjunction with professors, peers and members of the Makupo community.

The experience encourages students to creatively expand their own borders of learning through a spirit of reciprocal participation and dialogue.

In the past four years, projects have included curriculum development, entrepreneurial initiatives, identifying healthcare resources and instilling self-esteem in young girls.

Sailing to a dream

F rom Lac St. Louis in Quebec to the London 2012 Olympic Games, Tyler Bjorn ’94 has pursued his passion for sailing – with passion.

He took up the sport as a young boy and began competing at age 15. Tyler tried out for the Olympic teams in 1996, 2000 and 2008 but was unsuccessful. He thought his chance had passed.

In 2008 he invited Richard Clarke, a former rival and fellow member of Canada’s national sailing team, to enter the 2009 Star Class North American Championship together. Tyler arranged to charter the same boat that had served him well in the earlier Bacardi Cup that year. The two placed second in the regatta.

Sailing well together they decided to juggle a modest Star campaign with their many other activities throughout 2010. They posted tremendous results, including winning the 2010 Star

Western Hemisphere in Nassau and placing third in the 2010 Star European Championship, the largest regatta in the Star Class’s history to date.

Satisfied with their first year of Star sailing together, Tyler and Richard purchased the P2, a fiberglass boat

weighing about 1500 lbs, the second PStar ever produced. They committed to an Olympic campaign.

The Star is one of the most prolific keelboats in the world and has raced in every Olympics but one since 1932. Given his size, Tyler is the crew on the Star whose job is to relay information on wind and other competitors and perform tasks that involve adjusting sails and countering the wind by balancing the boat. Richard serves as the tactician and helmsman of their team.

“It’s a full-time job to get to the Olympics,” says Tyler. “It takes money, training, travel. Fortunately we gained great support, getting all we needed to give it our best shot.”

Tyler spent 280-300 days out of the country in each of the past two years to train and stay competitive on the International Star circuit. “I missed my family, but my wife has been incredibly supportive of my dream.”

At 42 years of age Tyler is not a typical Olympic athlete. “Many people mistook Richard and me for coaches during pre-Games events over the past few years. They’re surprised by our age.”

“The Olympics are all about gold, silver, bronze. My partner and I were in top form building to this competition, but we didn’t win a medal. Still, it’s been a terrific experience at this stage in my life.”

Sailing is in Tyler’s genetic makeup. His father competed at Munich in 1972 and his older brother Kai ’96 at Sydney in 2000.

Tyler says watching the extinguishing of the flame at the closing ceremonies will bring closure to his 25-year pursuit.

“I am proud to be an Olympian.”

Alex Bulmer ’88: writer, performer, theatre maker and teacher

Take failure on as a good cause. You never know what will result. At the time of my diagnosis I could never have envisioned creating a spectacle to open an Olympic event.

BISHOP’S UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE FALL 2012 15

A lex Bulmer ’88 insists that meaning and spectacle can co-exist. She put her belief to the test in mounting her largest production ever: a giant outdoor spectacle of pyrotechnics, dance, trapeze acts, naval ships and

torchbearers that was the opening ceremonies for the Olympic sailing events off Weymouth Beach.

“Breathe was a massive collaboration involving multiple art forms and multiple countries, different bodies and different ways of thinking about making art,” says Alex.

A cast of 64 disabled and non-disabled people, the Breathers looked like no cast ever seen before. In the play they are dismissed as nothing more than ‘sea litter,’ but in fact they turn out to hold the power to set the boats to sea.

“Breathe is about community, about having passion to express joy through art, about belonging, and about overcoming fear by believing in yourself.”

Alex spent over a year working on the production but did not see it, at least not in the usual sense. She is legally blind.

Alex was at Bishop’s when she detected something wrong with her vision. A mishap that occurred while fulfilling her tasks as manager of the Lady Gaiters spurred her to fly to Toronto for testing. The doctor gave her the diagnosis: retina pigmentosa, a degenerative condition that would steadily diminish her sight.

It all seemed surreal to the 21-year old who was studying Drama at the time. She was told at the hospital: “no one wants to see a blind person tripping across the stage. You should give up theatre.” So she changed her degree program.

Enter stage left, Prof. Greg Tuck (Drama) who went with Alex for a long walk on the golf course. Appreciating her creative ability, he convinced her to carry on in the arts. He introduced her to Prof. Jo-Jo Rideout (Drama) who took Alex as an apprentice to the Banff School to learn voice teaching, inspiring her to follow a new career path.

After Bishop’s Alex moved to Toronto where she pursued acting and voice teaching, all the while tolerating confusion in her vision. In her early 30s, however, she could no longer fight her disease and “after that I became more disabled.”

Her transformative experience of going blind, terrifying as it was, caused her to dig deep for meaning. Turning to writing, Alex found a new voice that reframed how she would proceed in her life and work. Her career as a writer began to take off.

In 2004 the Oval House Theatre in London, England presented one of Alex’s plays. Smudge had been performed in 2000 at the Tarragon Theatre in Toronto where it earned nominations for a Chalmers Playwriting Award and the Dora Awards (Best New Writing and Best Production).

Alex discovered the UK offers terrific support to disabled artists. About six years ago she was given a visa as an expert in disability arts and has lived in London ever since.

“The British hold the view that environmental and social barriers disable you, not your medical condition,” notes Alex. Under an “Access to Work” program, she receives funds to employ “seeing eye persons.” With these aides ensuring she has, to use the operative word, “access,” Alex is no longer “disabled.” That’s a different perspective than in Canada where no funding is available for an independent artist to hire support workers.

Alex realized one of her visions in unleashing Breathe upon an audience of 10,000 on July 28. “The audience was rapt. For the entire hour and a half.”

“Take failure on as a good cause. You never know what will result,” recommends Alex. “At the time of my diagnosis I could never have envisioned creating a spectacle to open an Olympic event.”

Principal’s Message

T he respected National Survey on Student Engagement ranks Bishop’s as Canada’s number one public university for its supportive campus environment. But in addition to the individual attention students receive

from professors, they also benefi t from the generous support of individuals far beyond the borders of our campus.

Although the alumni, parents, faculty, staff and friends of Bishop’s listed in this report may be separated by many miles (or even by oceans), each of you, by giving to the Annual Fund, has made the decision to be part of the supportive community that defi nes Bishop’s.

Your charitable support gives the University the ability to provide a valuable scholarship and bursary program for deserving students, to expand the resources available at our Library, and to make possible countless artistic, athletic and extracurricular activities that enrich the Bishop’s experience and help students pursue their passions. You also allow us to enrich our academic programs and create innovative learning opportunities outside of the traditional classroom.

I express my sincere thanks to each of you – for your generosity and your belief in the value of a Bishop’s education. Your giving extends the Bishop’s tradition of excellence in undergraduate education.

With appreciation,

Michael GoldbloomPrincipal & Vice-Chancellor

During my time at Bishop’s, I came to realize that fulfillment lies

not in exercising my rights with the selfish impunity of my generation, but in the exciting and arduous journey to become a responsible, concerned and caring human being who pours her energy into

learning and working, with an open mind and heart, as

part of a community.

Thanks to financial support from the McConnell Student Opportunity Fund, I traded the theory of my degree for practice with the WUSC’s Student Without Borders program.

Highlights of my first six months as a Junior Program Officer in Sri Lanka included travelling around the country to conduct an analysis and report on the sustainability of our 15 local partners, representing WUSC-SL at UN agency meetings and workshops, and drafting a proposal for a new Uniterra project in Sri Lanka.

BISHOP’S UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE FALL 2012 29

My B.E.S.T. Experience

T hrough my university studies in Education and Science, I’ve developed an interest in providing effective and interesting science education at the high school level. My goal is to assist

students to recognize, develop and explore their interest in science, with the hope that this interest will transform into a career ambition.

The effectiveness of science education has become increasingly important as we continue to move towards a technologically driven society. Recent studies indicate that a country’s economic success depends on the size and profi ciency of its science and technology work force.

Students who study Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) subjects acquire analytical and problem solving abilities that are highly attractive to potential employers. In England STEM graduates earn on average 30% more over their lifetime than graduates from other disciplines. Yet employers face diffi culties in recruitment. STEM organizations build on the government’s ongoing strategies for developing a strong supply of scientists, engineers, technologists and mathematicians.

In the spring of 2012 Bishop’s B.E.S.T. Projects Fund fi nanced my trip to England to study the STEM programs that aim to increase the number of students who choose to continue their study of STEM disciplines as well as pursue careers in these fi elds.

Boarding the plane, I carried two and a half weeks of baggage and the ambition that my experience would give me a wider outlook on science education and some possible steps towards ameliorating current educational practices.

I visited both the National STEM Centre in York and the Centre for Science Education in Sheffi eld, meeting with directors, education professors, future science educators, teachers, and students, each of whom offered information and opinions about various science education techniques and intervention strategies.

I found the greatest asset for science teachers in England is the plentiful supply of resources. Vast online and paper libraries provide supplies, activities, videos and texts. Projects such as STEM Ambassadors give teachers access to a database of contact information for a variety of industry professionals who will travel to local schools and teach lessons in a variety of STEM subjects. This program not only exposes students to highly rewarding career options but also assists in creating a link between classroom material and real world application.

In addition, other programs such as STEM Days and STEM Clubs have been initiated across England to allow students to work in groups on various projects that explore science and technology in a hands-on manner.

By the time my visit ended and I boarded the plane to return to Canada, I brought with me a mind full of new ideas, resources and contacts. I learned ways that can be effective in encouraging students to consider careers in the prosperous and ever-expanding fi eld of STEM.

My experience reinforced my goal to teach high school science as well as sparked an aspiration to get involved in curriculum planning.

In the near future I intend to set up a STEM ambassadors link between our regional high schools and STEM professionals within the Bishop’s community as well as the greater Sherbrooke region.

I also plan to continue my pedagogical research through a Master’s degree in Education and by introducing a STEM Club and STEM Day once I become an educator myself.

I n June, the University welcomed a new Director of Athletics

and Recreation, Brian Breckles.

B e t ween 1990 and 1994, Brian was both Offensive Line Coach and Recreation Coordinator at Bishop’s.

“I’m thrilled to return to Bishop’s and excited to have been chosen to lead the Department at a time when important changes are on the horizon and many developments have occurred on the Quebec interuniversity sports scene.”

Brian has a BA in Physical Education and an MBA from Wilfrid Laurier University. He has both corporate and academic experience. Before re-joining Bishop’s he held the positions of Vice President of Business Development at National Group Mortgages since 2009 and Director of Alumni Relations at Wilfrid Laurier University for seven years prior to his move to the private sector.

At Laurier, Brian played for the Golden Hawks football team from 1985-89, earning All-Canadian honours two years in a row. Drafted by the Argonauts, he instead chose to pursue coaching, amassing 14 years in various CIS coaching roles and winning a Vanier Cup with the 2005 Laurier Golden Hawks.

“Brian’s passion and enthusiasm for Bishop’s combined with his leadership and experience will drive our Department of Athletics and Recreation to a new level,” said Jackie Bailey ’95, Dean of Student Affairs. “Brian is committed to providing exceptional sport and recreational opportunities for the entire community and has both the experience and personal drive to push our Gaiters to achieve excellence.”

The role of the Director has evolved and the current mandate includes leading the Department just as major renovations are set to begin at the John H. Price Sports & Recreation Centre and the Sherbrooke 2013 Canada Summer Games approach.

At the helm: new Director leads in time of change

Many games will be webcast on www.ssncanada.ca. Check gaiters.ca.

60 years later ... the spirit continues

A very special event took place at Bishop’s in mid-June when the classes of ’50, ’51, ’52 & ’53 celebrated the 60th anniversary of their graduation. Of the 114 graduates

still with us, 39 attended along with 20 spouses and guests. The program started with a reception and lunch at the home

on campus of Principal Michael Goldbloom and his wife Fiona Macleod. It provided a great opportunity to meet and greet.

In the afternoon, we participated in an interactive campus tour. At the Library we learned from the Head Librarian, Bruno Gnassi, about the steps being taken to improve the Library and make it a place where students want to congregate and work.

At the Chapel Rev. Canon Heather Thomson talked about the fine maintenance of the historic building and its uses by the Bishop’s and Lennoxville communities.

We met Psychology professor Dr. Stuart McKelvie in the old concert hall or auditorium, now Bishop Williams Hall. He told us of the differences between being a student now and 60 years ago!

From there we visited the newly updated Chemistry Lab and heard from Dr. Dale Wood.

The tour ended in the Music department in Bandeen Hall, which was the dining room in our time. Dr. Ross Osmun performed on one of the beautiful Steinway pianos…what a treat!

After the tour, Lee (Scowen) Campione ’53 hosted an Open House at her North Hatley home.

That evening we gathered for cocktails and chatter, followed by dinner in what was the old Common Room, now Cleghorn Common Room. The space was beautifully decorated, and we savoured a delicious, catered meal and a program put on by some of the grads.

We went to a chapel service on Sunday morning, reminding us of our days when we were expected to attend chapel several times a week. We realized how important the chapel experience had been in our formation. At a light lunch later, we said our farewells.

Everyone enjoyed returning to campus for a few days. We came away feeling very grateful for the warm welcome we received. We are convinced that Bishop’s stands apart with its wide range of benefits for students in both their academic and social development.

We know, as well, that through all the good changes that have been made over the years, the spirit of 60 years ago that keeps drawing us back continues today.

Daphne (Atchison) McMullan ’53, Ebert “Bim” Hobbs ’51, Bruce Anderson ’51

Special thanks go to Dave McBride ’93, Matt McBrine ’96, Sarah Heath ’99 and Rev. Canon Heather Thomson.

O n behalf of the Bishop’s University Alumni Association, it is my pleasure to present the Alumnus/na of the Year Award which honours an alumnus or alumna who has made a long-standing

commitment and contribution to the University. The Alumni Association Executive Committee has bestowed this award

annually since 1967 and today, it is with great pride that we add another worthy name to the list of distinguished past recipients.

This year’s recipient is Robert Goldberger, a BBA graduate from the class of 1979. He resides in Toronto and he is currently the Vice-President and Investment Advisor at Macquarie Private Wealth Inc.

A generous philanthropist to Bishop’s University – as well as numerous other charities – and a committed volunteer as Vice Chairman of the Bishop’s University Foundation, Bob plays a leading role in the fundraising activities which help to enrich the Bishop’s experience of today’s students.

Bob leads by example; his interests and support are wide ranging but are focused on providing financial support to students. Two examples include the Robert J. Goldberger Awards for Bishop’s student-athletes and the Goldberger Global Experience Bursaries for students studying on exchange. In addition, he provides insightful leadership and guidance to the University’s Advancement Office whenever it’s needed. These are just a few examples of how Bob’s actions support our institution and help to make Bishop’s an even better university.

On behalf of the Bishop’s Alumni Association and the University, please join me in thanking Robert Goldberger for his on-going service in support of Bishop’s University and congratulating him on receiving the Alumni Association’s most prestigious award.

Presented by Cathy McRae McLean at Convocation 2012

Alumni Perspectives

Until I became a university president in 1991, my favourite ever “job” was editing The Campus, the Bishop’s student newspaper founded 68 years ago by Paul Beaudry ’46

and Fred Kaufman ’46, DCL ’76. The first faculty adviser to the editor of The Campus was the

redoubtable J. D. Jefferis ’27, DCL ’68, long-serving Professor of Education and one of Bishop’s all-time orators. My own advisor was ex-diplomat and Political Science professor, Terry MacDermott. A former McGill Daily editor, he was ever supportive and often regaled us with wonderful stories from his career. He also introduced us to his son, Galt MacDermott ’62, DCL ’72, a stellar jazz musician who Terry knew would “make it big in New York” some day – sadly, Galt’s success with his musical, Hair, was realized a few short months after Terry died in 1966.

My true mentor was distinguished journalist Norman Webster ’62, DCL ’85 (The Campus editor 1961-62), who taught me how to write succinctly and never stopped encouraging me.

We used to prepare the paper on Monday nights in a Norton Hall basement room adjacent to the apartment of Victor Pierce, a long-serving porter at Bishop’s. Given that we seldom put the paper to bed until 2 a.m. and that typewriters were extremely noisy, Mr. Pierce registered a complaint with popular Dean of Residence, “Deaky” Dan Patridge. Consequently, we were instructed to vacate the premises each Monday by 10 p.m.

We responded by recording a continuous loop of typing on a hidden tape recorder attached to a long control wire that went down the hall and around the corner. A lookout gave the signal when the night security guard came on his rounds. Hearing loud early morning typing from The Campus room, he started unlocking the door, at which point hand signals passed down the corridors led us to shut off the tape recorder.

The security guard emerged from the room, scratching his head at what had been the source of the sound. This happened a couple of times but on the third occasion, Deaky Dan himself appeared and we all panicked, leaving the tape recorder on. Fortunately, we then moved to private quarters in the new Bishop Mountain House, thus sustaining our middle-of-the-night operations.

My proudest moment came when we did a huge photo essay on the abysmal living conditions of the support staff who were stuffed into hot, dingy quarters in the bowels of McGreer. It was not well received by bursar Lyman Tomkins, who wrote a letter to The Campus asking why concerned students didn’t contribute money to the cause. It was a different era!

In 1964 at a Students’ Executive Council (SEC) meeting in Bishop Williams Hall (BWH), someone (either Ken Livingstone ’65 or Michael Ondaatje) moved that the SEC of Bishop’s University write a letter to the United Nations protesting American involvement in Southeast Asia. From my begowned prominence on the BWH stage, I scoffed at the idea that “little” Bishop’s would have any impact whatsoever on the United Nations.

Besides, I noted, Carnival was only a few weeks away and no one had organized cars for the princesses! The motion was soundly defeated and I have been embarrassed by this memory ever since. It doubtless lies behind my long-standing advocacy for student activism, even when (as is the case with the current manifestations in Quebec), I don’t always agree with their position.

I am proud to be part of a long line of dedicated editors of The Campus. Its history, set out on the Wikipedia website, The Campus (Lennoxville), needs considerable updating. Please help fill in the gaps so that we have a permanent record of its continuing legacy and the men and women who have made it such an important part of campus life.
