Introductory material

This series begins with and address by Professor Friedland on his writing of the history of the University of Toronto and his application for the position. Next are early notes, chronologies, chapter outlines and correspondence relating to getting the project under way. The series ends with more detailed outlines (arranged chronologically by the names of the University presidents) in which many of the issues raised are threshed out in memos with his research assistants: Kelly DeLuca, Charles Levi, Tim Meadowcroft, Michael McCulloch and Sam Robinson. These assistants, all law students with the exception of Levi (who was about to complete his doctorate in history) but with varying backgrounds in other fields (some had doctorates), worked with Professor Friedland over the summer of 1998. The law students returned to their studies in September but worked occasionally on special projects while Charles Levi stayed on as the principal researcher, to be joined in a year later by Patrick Okens whose specialty was athletics.

The files contain correspondence, notes, memoranda, lists, and an address.

Drafts of the manuscript

In writing the history of the University, the principal deadline Professor Friedland had to meet was to present a completed manuscript (except for the selection of photos) to the University of Toronto Press by 31 March, 2001, a year before the designated book launch that was to coincide with the 175th anniversary of the granting of the charter to King’s College on 15 March 1827. The book evolved over a period of almost five years from his first contact with the Press on the subject in June 1997. The earliest drafts (computer generated) appeared in October and November 1998 and the complete manuscript was sent to the Press in March 2001.

Sub-series 3.1 begins with drafts of the chapters (with notes embedded) that were written by Professor Friedland between 1998 and 2001. .

Sub-series 3.2, “Text”, begins with early drafts of each chapter, along with footnotes, sometimes with as many as ten versions for each chapter. Professor Friedland revised the drafts, chapter by chapter, as they evolved following feedback from others, the acquisition of more information, and his own further rereading. By the end of December 1999 he had completed at least one draft of the first 32 chapters, bringing the narrative up to 1960.

By mid-September of 2000, Professor Friedland had completed the first draft of the last chapters, 41 and 42 (the epilogue, chapter 43, he had begun writing at the end of December 1999). He usually worked on one chapter at a time, although interesting new information sometimes drew him away to other chapters.

In March 2000, he reread the drafts of the chapters that had been completed (by then usually several versions on), incorporating revisions into new drafts that were printed in April, with another round of drafts in September and October. He again reviewed the whole manuscript in the first week of December 2000, making mostly minor revisions. This December draft was sent to the fifty or so persons asked to comment on the entire manuscript. Further changes were made and a new complete draft printed in February 2001. This February draft was given to the Press as required under the contract. A new printout of the manuscript (again with minor changes) was prepared in April – the first one in which pagination was inserted – a copy of which was submitted to the Press in June and returned as copy-edited. Page proofs were then prepared, Professor Friedland made corrections, and another revised set was produced.

Only those versions with substantive changes that illustrate the evolution of each chapter (which averaged about ten pages, without footnotes) or which document the progress of the project at a particular juncture have been retained. Thus, some, but not all, of the drafts for the various versions of the chapters completed by the autumn of 2000 are found in this series. For the first cumulative manuscript, that of December 2000, those chapters [1-3, 6, 14, 15, 16, 18, 20, 21, 25, 27-29, 31, 34 and 39] that were unchanged from the earlier (September-October) drafts were not kept. For the remaining chapters, some alterations contain only a few words here and there but most have changes ranging from a few lines of text up to half-a-page. For the January 2001 draft only the nineteen chapters with substantial revisions or numerous annotations were retained. The February 2001 manuscript, which reflects the changes incorporated after comments received from readers, has been kept in its entirety.

Sub-series 3.3 contains the copy-edited version of the manuscript and various versions of the page proofs. The clean copy of the April version of the manuscript, identical to the copy-edited manuscript except for the editor’s marks and the insertion of section dividers and the addition of the “end papers”, has not been retained. Both sets of page proofs have been retained.

Sub-series 3.4 contains a sampling of drafts of the notes. Professor Friedland, in his “Introduction” , noted that there were so many bulky versions of the notes that he included only two versions of the notes, those of summer and November 2000, along with a complete set of the various drafts of the footnotes for Part 4 (chapters 22-27) of the notes. Also included are the notes for Parts six to eight of the February 2001 version of the notes. Some of the versions of the webnotes are contained in Sub-series 3.5. A hardcopy of the webnotes at the time of publication (March 15, 2001) was produced as a separate volume.

Research notes and documents

In his “Introduction” to this finding aid, Professor Friedland states that this series contains “some [my emphasis] of the research material collected over the past five years”; then describes the arrangement of the files. “Sub-series 7.1 consists of the spiral binders I used to make notes of what I was reading and how I planned to handle the material. Sub-series 2 contains the notes I made as I tackled each chapter. Sub-series 3 is the most extensive collection of material. In it, the subjects are set out in alphabetical order and include persons, places, institutions, and concepts. Individual files may include newspaper articles, research notes, obituaries, academic writings, and many other matters.” Professor Friedland threw out a large quantity of material before transferring his files to the University Archives: “Material that is bulky and easily found elsewhere has been excluded from the files. The series thus provides a unique source of information on topics which would take individual researchers many long days or weeks or months to gather themselves. University of Toronto publications, such as the University of Toronto Monthly, the Bulletin, and the various alumni magazines, were systematically gone through during the course of the project and copies of this material have been included in the relevant files.”

In sub-series 7.2, “Rough research notes”, the files are arranged by chapter (1-42). In sub-series 7.3, “Research materials”, the arrangement is alphabetical, “Abols – Zoology”.

The files, in whole or in part, that contain information not readily found elsewhere and that illustrate the process of research and writing have been retained. The large volume of photocopied material in the files when Professor Friedland turned them over to the University Archives has been substantially reduced. Much of it is already readily accessible in the University Archives, especially the identified textual records, indexed periodicals, and items from its biographical files (especially A1973-0026 and the ‘people files’) and ‘subject files’.

Entries from the widely available Dictionary of Canadian Biography have also not been kept, although entries from some difficult to locate biographical sources have been. Significantly annotated material and references to sources have been retained (some sources were added when the photocopies were culled), as has photocopied material from sources that would be otherwise very difficult for researchers to locate.

In the course of his research Professor Friedland made careful and extensive use of the files assembled by Robin Harris in the 1970s in his ultimately abandoned attempt to write the second of a proposed two-volume history of the University. Much of the material Professor Friedland’s researchers photocopied from this accession (A1983-0036) had earlier been copied from administrative and other sources in the U of T Archives. While references to files in this accession (and others) have been retained, the photocopies themselves, unless annotated, have been removed. Researchers should, in any case, ultimately refer to the original sources, where they are identified, in the University Archives.

Where deemed appropriate, photocopied material in volume has been retained. There are two principal occasions where this was done. First, Professor Friedland had
copied the complete run of Claude Bissell’s diaries and journals from 1934 to 1971, the year he stepped down as president of the University. These Friedland marked for further copying (the resulting elements were then used to bolster files about individuals, events, groups and organizations that were created by his researchers). Only the pages that were earmarked for further copying have survived culling; they contain the entries that were actually used throughout the manuscript and, with the ‘elements’ described above, provide a rough index to the diaries.

In the second instance, where indices do not exist items have largely been retained. Journals that are indexed in the University Archives include the student newspaper, the Varsity (1880-1931,1953-1973), University of Toronto Quarterly (up to 1937, thereafter in the Canadian periodicals index), University of Toronto monthly (1901-1948) and its successors, the Alumni Bulletin (1948-1956), Varsity Graduate (1948-1967), and the University of Toronto Graduate (1967-1972). The last’s successor, University of Toronto Magazine, has been searchable online since 1999. The Department of Development maintains a card index for the University of Toronto Bulletin, a journal about the activities of faculty and staff and events on campus, for the years 1980 to August 2000. As the card index to the Bulletin is not readily available to users, dated items from the years it covers have been kept, along with entries from earlier years. Recent years of the Bulletin are now available online.

Some of the files also contain research material, including correspondence, reports and publications, that were forwarded by individuals; these files are identified as discrete units and the material therein has, with few exceptions, been retained in its entirety. George Connell, for example, gave Professor Friedland two large binders of memos, reports, and addresses – some are original handwritten versions – from his years as president (see box 045). Some research material forwarded for use by the

History Project has been scattered throughout this series. The principal example here is the index cards compiled by James Greenlee while writing his biography of Sir Robert Falconer, president of the University from 1907 to 1932. These cards have been retained in their entirety and may be found in boxes 051 to 053 and in those files where the notation in the ‘date(s)’ field is [198-].

-Cassette audiotapes of an oral history interview by James Greenlee with Vincent Bladen have been removed from B2002-0022/042(03) to 001S and 002S;
-Cassette audiotapes of interviews by James Greenlee with Robert D. Falconer, dated 13 July and August 1979 have been removed from B2002-0022/050(12) to /003 - /010S
-A cassette audiotape has been removed from B2002-0022/077(14) - /011S

Faculty of Law activities

This series is divided into two sub-series, ‘Activities’ and ‘Correspondence with students’. The first sub-series contains correspondence, memoranda, notes, reports, and lecture material documenting Professor Friedland’s activities within the faculty and the faculty’s affairs generally. The ‘course’ files contain Professor Friedland’s outlines, notes, assignments and examinations for his course in criminal law. There are also files on the publications, Faculty of Law Review and Nexus. The remaining files in this sub-series relate primarily to Professor Friedland’s activities with the ‘Class of 5T8’s fortieth anniversary reunion in 1998 and to the Faculty’s fiftieth anniversary celebrations in 1999-2000. This sub-series ends with files on Professor Friedland’s 1997 report on the grading practices policy at the Faculty and on the Faculty’s marks scandal in 2001.

The records in this sub-series contain correspondence, memoranda and notes and reports; class outlines, assignments and other material; minutes of meetings for anniversary celebrations, along with programmes and publications (including drafts), sheet music and songs, and a video, notices, press releases and press clippings.

The second sub-series, ‘Correspondence with students’, contains correspondence, memoranda, curriculum vitae (but not student transcripts and marks, which have been removed), greeting cards, postcards and the occasional offprint relating primarily to references requested from Professor Friedland, and a file of memorabilia.

Most of the reference requests relate to applications for graduate school, academic appointments, and positions in legal firms and for clerkships in the Supreme Court of Canada and other courts. Others relate to academic honours – awards, prizes and scholarships. Some of the files also contain correspondence relating to courses taken and theses supervised, though most of this type of correspondence is located in ‘Series III.: Correspondence’ above. Some of the requests are more prosaic, such as asking Professor Friedland to sign passport applications and photos. Also included are memos from Professor Friedland to officials in the Faculty of Law, such as the summer student co-ordinator, about specific students. In their letters, these students and former students provide information about their current activities which sometimes have taken them far afield, examples being the Rwanda genocide case, the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, and legal work in Japan.

Books and edited books

During his career, Prof. Richardson published 13 books as author, co-author or as editor. Seven of these works are contained in this series. His first book, Volume 10 of the Society for New Testament Studies (SNTS), was based on his PhD thesis. He changed the title to Israel in the Apostolic Church and it was published by the Cambridge University Press in 1969. Described as “lucidly written, closely argued and most scholarly work”, it was reprinted in paperback 36 years later by Cambridge University Press. In 1984 with John Parry he produced a small pamphlet on University College entitled The great good place: exploring University College.

Another edited book, Law in religious communities in the Roman period: the debate over Torah and Nomos in post-biblical Judaism and early Christianity, appeared in 1991. This book was based on the seminar “Torah and Nomos in Judaism and Christianity” sponsored by the Canadian Society of Biblical Studies over the previous six years. Five years later Herod, Friend of Romans and King of Jews was completed and published by the University of South Carolina Press. This work was reprinted in 1999 by Fortress Press and in Edinburgh by T & T Clark. It became a selection for the History Book Club and the Book of the Month Club.

From 1994 to 1998 he worked with co-editor Karl Donfried on the book Judaism and Christianity in First-Century Rome which was published by Eerdmans in 1998. The papers in this book were revised versions of papers delivered at the “Seminar on NT Texts in their cultural environment” of the Studiorum Novi Testamenti Societas (SNTS) between 1990 and 1994. Prof. Richardson contributed one of the papers "Augustan-era synagogues in Rome" in this volume, copy of which will be found in Series 10 Articles .

In City and Sanctuary: religion and architecture in the Roman Near East (2002), Prof. Richardson “examines the urban design of five cities in the Near East – Palmyra, Petra, Gerasa, Caesarea Maritima and Jerusalem – including cult centres, temples and buildings for mystery religions.” The content of this book is based on a series of John Albert Hall lectures given by Prof. Richardson in 2001.

Building Jewish in the Roman East published in 2004 continues the theme of the relationship between religion and architecture. This book consists in large part of chapters containing revised versions of articles previously published in scholarly journals and collections of essays.

Prof. Richardson’s last book in this series was co-authored with his brother, Douglas Richardson, retired professor of fine art. Canadian Churches, an architectural history is an extensively illustrated book published by Firefly in 2007. This book was described as a “tribute to the religious underpinnings of the nation and to the care with which so many of these houses of worship.. have been preserved”.

Talks, lectures and addresses

This series consists of numerous talks, lectures and addresses which W.E. Gallie presented to various conferences, graduating class receptions, and medical lectures. The file titles in this series represent the content of the lecture as well as the audience, if one has been provided. The files in this series have been arranged in chronological order.

Also includes B1990-0046: Text of toast by Dr. W.E. Gallie to the "Sister Universities" at the formal opening of the Banting Institute, with covering letter and a copy of the program, 1930.

Correspondence

This series primarily consists of professional and administrative, rather than personal, correspondence, B1985-0011/001 being an exception. The correspondence with Harold Innis (1952) is likely to be of interest to researchers as is a draft of a speech by Innis (n.d.). The box B1979-0039/007 is arranged alphabetically according to correspondents’ names.

Teaching

Dr. Fowler was associated with several universities in the United States and Canada as researcher, administrator and teacher. This series documents his teaching activities from his time as a graduate student and professor at the University of Chicago, through his academic career at OISE and at Tufts University, and in his later career as a consultant. Files contain lecture notes, course materials, and correspondence. He also maintained an ongoing correspondence with many of his students from his years at OISE, providing advice, references and support as they continued their academic careers.

Speeches and writings

Papers, speeches, reports and notes by Bernard Etkin, Professor at the Institute of Aerospace Studies and former Dean of the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering.

Education

Harding le Riche received his primary and secondary education in his home village of Dewetsdorp, Orange Free State, between 1922 and 1933. In 1933 he wrote his matriculation exams, receiving a first class pass. In January of 1934 he left the University of Witswatersrand in Johannesburg to begin studies for what he had long since decided would be his profession, medicine. He received his BSc in 1936. Over the following three years, he undertook three surveys, one of nutrition in Pretoria, financed by a Carnegie research grant; the second, of African school children for the Union Department of Health; and the last, of rural malnutrition for the South Africa Institute of Medical Research. Between 1940 and 1943 he completed medical studies for the degree of MB, ChB at Wits, where he was a
senior demonstrator in anatomy. In 1949 he received his MD on a thesis, “Studies in growth, health and nutrition” at Wits. He was then awarded a Rockefeller Fellowship which
enabled him to study epidemiology and nutrition, maternal and child health at Harvard, which awarded him a Master in Public Health (cum laude) in 1950.

This small series contains some of the certificates he received during his primary and secondary education, his matriculation certificate, and a list of members of the class of 1950 for the Harvard School of Public Health. There is also a file of reports on the progress his future wife, Margaret Cardross Grant, made while a student at Roedean School, Johannesburg, in 1938.

For related correspondence and a photograph, see B2003-0012/005(03).

Reports and studies

From the beginning of his professional career, Professor le Riche’s undertook a number of health surveys, the earliest in 1938-1939. The earliest surviving project in this series is a health and social survey of the European woodcutters of Veldsmanspad, Knysna, Cape Province, which he undertook between 1945 and 1948.

In Canada, as an expert in the field of preventative medicine, Professor le Riche was frequently called upon to conduct studies and prepare reports on various aspects of the local, provincial and national health care system. Some of his reports resulted from the work he did while a research medical officer (1954-1957) for Physicians’ Services Incorporated of Toronto; others arose from his work for the federal government on the Downtown Toronto Health Attitude Survey in the 1970s.

Research and publications

Series consists of records relating to various research projects and publications Prof. Cameron worked on, relating to federalism, national unity, and multigovernance.

Records also document Prof. Cameron's work on the Patterns of Association project. Prof. Cameron served as a Principal Investigator (along with Richard Simeon and Jane Jenson) on the project, which was originally proposed as "Patterns of Association in Canadian Civil Society: Linguistic Relations in Non-governmental Organizations"

Walkerton Inquiry

The Walkerton Inquiry investigated the contamination of the water supply of Walkerton, Ontario with E. coli bacteria in 2000. It also addressed, in general, the safety of drinking water in Ontario. Prof. Cameron wrote Drinking Water Safety: Does Ownership and Management Matter? A Commissioned Research Report for the Walkerton Inquiry, 2001, 200 pp. He also assisted Justice Dennis O'Connor in the preparation of a portion of the Walkerton Report, Part II, 2002.

Records in this series consist primarily of official submissions to the inquiry and research files, arranged alphabetically, on the topic of water purification, public works and public policy. Series also includes reports, notes and drafts.

Personal and education

William Fowler was educated in the United States, attending Dartmouth College for his undergraduate degree (BA, 1946), and Harvard University for his Master of Arts Degree (1952) and the University of Chicago’s Committee on Human Development department for his doctoral degree (Ph.D. 1959). He also continued his education as it related to his licensing as a professional psychologist in the United States.

Files in this series contain versions of his curriculum vitae, certificates relating to professional accreditation and licensing in various states, honours from the American Psychological Association, among others. Files documenting his university education are entirely concerned with this graduate education at Harvard University and the University of Chicago. Among the files are those containing class notes and papers while studying at Harvard, class notes and papers for courses in Education with Dr. Helen Koch at University of Chicago, as well as those relating to his doctoral thesis on “ Teaching a two-year-old to read: an experiment in early childhood learning” (June 1959). There is one file relating to his research fellowship at the University of California where he undertook “Reading and general intellectual training and their relationship to psycho-social development in some normal 3-year-old children of average IQ.” (1958-1961)

Conferences and presentations

Series consists of a few files relating to various workshops and presentations in which Prof. Cameron participated, including presentations for the Canadian Centre for Management Development on public service, citizenship and intergovernmental relations.

Planners

Series consists of Prof. Cameron's day planners, which include notes regarding appointments, meetings, personal events, and some notes to self. Some earlier planners seem to be used as diaries, recording events after they happened.

St. Michael’s Hospital

This series documents Dr. Little’s long association with St. Michael’s Hospital where he practised, researched and taught. The subject files contain correspondence, minutes of meetings, reports and other records relating to his activities on the Hospital’s Advisory Committee, the Clinical Investigation Unit, Core Lipid Laboratory, the Department of Medicine and the Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism.

Records within this series from the B2017-0005 accession contain material related to the Clinical Investigation Unit’s fructosemia case study. The study looked at Canada’s first patient diagnosed with hereditary fructose intolerance. Working with colleagues, T.W. Ptak, M.F. Glynn, M.J. Phillips, and M. Flautus, research focused on the symptoms and comorbidity of both fructose intolerance and a platelet disease. Material includes results from medical testing, general patient file, background material, lab notebooks from T.W. Ptak, draft typescripts, and correspondence that span the years 1961 to 1967.

Articles, abstracts, talks, papers, lectures

During his long career Dr. Little wrote extensively on the results of his research. Many of these were collaborative products with colleagues, research associates and students and were published in scholarly scientific and other publications. Among his co-authors are Dr. W. Carl Breckenridge, former associate professor in the Department of Medicine, University of Toronto, and former Director of the Core Laboratory of the Lipid Research Project in the 1970s [1], Dr. Arnis Kuksis, professor of biochemistry in the U. of T.’s Banting & Best Department of Medical Research (and Breckenridge’s doctorate supervisor), and Dr. Philip Connelly, professor in the University of Toronto Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathobiology and Director of the J. Alick Little Research Laboratory at St. Michael’s Hospital, Toronto. Dr. Little was also invited to make presentations at conferences, meetings of organizations of medical professionals, and to community groups. As part of his teaching responsibilities, he lectured to medical students and residents at St. Michael’s Hospital and other teaching hospitals in Toronto and the province. He has continued to publish, speak and present the results of his many years of research after his retirement in 1988.

This series contains a comprehensive record of his writings, both published and unpublished and is far more extensive than his curriculum vitae. Conversely, files relating to some of his publications done in collaboration with others will not be found in this series. As well, official reports on the Lipid Research Clinic project are also not included, and researchers are referred to the records of the Lipid Research Clinic in A2002-0009. Group photographs from the Fifth (1980) and Eighth (1984) Canadian Lipoprotein Conferences are part of this series as well as some lecture slides and publication illustrations.

Arranged chronologically by date of publication or production of work. See Appendix A for list of publications, abstracts and lectures extracted from Dr. Little’s 1992 curriculum vitae and annotated with box and file reference. When photographs have been removed both the file and appendix has been annotated with the location of the photographs.

NOTES

  1. Dr. Breckenridge (PhD in Biochemistry, U of T 1970) is now Vice president, Research at Dalhousie University.

Federal-Provincial Relations Office

Series consists of records relating to Prof. Cameron's work in the Federal-Provincial Relations Office (FPRO), within the Privy Council Office (PCO).

From 1979-1980, Prof. Cameron served as Advisor in the Federal-Provincial Relations Office, and a member of the Coordination (Tellier) Group and successor groups, working on the Quebec referendum. Then, from 1980-1982, Prof. Cameron served as the Assistant Secretary to the Cabinet, Strategic and Constitutional Planning, in the Federal-Provincial Relations Office.

University of Toronto

This series consists of two subseries documenting Prof Paul's teaching and research activities in the Department of Physics.

Science for Peace

Science for Peace was founded by a group of University of Toronto scientists in 1980. It evolved out of a University of Toronto ad hoc committee, chaired by Eric Fawcett, Department of Physics, called "Directing Science for Peace". This committee was formed in 1980 to draw up a proposal on nuclear disarmament for presentation to the American Association for the Advancement of Science. The group changed its name to Science for Peace after the committee was disbanded. Its objectives are to encourage scientific activities directed toward peace and to urge publication and dissemination of the findings of peace research; to encourage educational activities directed toward peace; to interact with expert groups, such as Canadian Pugwash; and to make specific proposals and take positive action toward reducing the dangers of war. Prof. Derek Paul was one of the founding members, along with Ursula Franklin (metallurgist), John Polanyi (chemist), Jon Cohen (political economy) and others.

This series consists of records relating to publications of Science for Peace collected by Prof. Paul as a board member and as Publications Director from 1988-1990 and 1992-1993. Some publications resulted from papers presented at conferences sponsored by Science for Peace. Thus included in this series are conference papers and correspondence as well as draft manuscripts for the final publication. With one exception, "Integrity of the Earth and Life: the Third Point", [see Box /015 (07)] all titles were accepted for publication by the SFP Publications Committee.

Also included are Board of Directors minutes, correspondence, and records related to a workshop on Chemical Warfare.

Personal and biographical

This series consists of three files containing biographical information on Professor Falls; his curriculum vitae, with associated notes and lists (1955-1989); and a day calendar for 1986. Other examples of his curriculum vitae are filed with grant applications in box 027.

Education

The files in this series document some aspects of Professor Falls’ undergraduate and graduate education at the University of Toronto and his post-doctoral research at the University of Oxford.
