Administrative and teaching files

This series begins with a file containing Professor Barbeau’s curriculum vitae. It is followed by a single file on courses he taught at the University of Western Ontario (1964-1966). The remaining files document his activities in the Department of Mathematics at
the University of Toronto. There are a few general files, followed by a report of the Committee on the Structure of the Governance of the Department (1973), and files on selected staff, the Fields Institute and the Fields Medal. This section concludes with two
boxes of index cards listing students registered in the Mathematics and Physics program between 1903 and 1966, along with cards on interested Commerce and Finance students, physics students, and students who received the Samuel Beatty Fund Scholarship
between 1953 and 1959. One use made of these cards was to compile statistics on the number of students registered in the Mathematics and Physics (M&P) program.

The main part of the series contains material relating to courses Professor Barbeau taught at the University of Toronto, beginning in 1969. It ends with files on a number of publications and organizations at the University of Toronto. For most courses of the courses in this series, Professor Barbeau inserted a memo providing the background and context of each. The material for each course ranges from memoranda, notes and reports, reading lists, and supplementary notes to problem sets, analysis, tests and examinations. Included is the occasional term paper. Until the 1980s, Professor Barbeau developed detailed mimeographed material for his courses; he then switched to typewriters and eventually to computers. Some files, such as those for courses 129, 133Y, and 1030F, contain manuals, drafts of papers, and supplementary notes. Course 439 has drafts of chapters for a work by Barbeau on ‘functional analysis,’ the topic of his doctoral thesis.

Professor Barbeau taught both at the undergraduate and graduate level at the University of Toronto, and also did a lot of outreach work with high school students and working professionals. His taught his first course at the University of Toronto in 1960-1961,
while taking his Master’s degree: calculus to pre-medical students. Later he taught the history of mathematical analysis, a course on chaos and dynamical systems, and a research course of Pell’s equation (the last not represented in this series). He also
developed a general course in mathematics for students in other disciplines, particularly engineering students (see, for example, MEC 362F and MAT 2432/335) and a course in mathematics for intending elementary students. At the graduate level, besides courses in functional analysis and Fourier series, he helped develop a course on problem solving for a Master of Science in Teaching program.

Professor Barbeau’s interest in introducing high school students to mathematics is well documented in this series. Beginning in 1970 and for a quarter century thereafter, he ran a number of courses for high school students. The first, in the summer of 1970 and 1971, was the John Honour Special Seminar in mathematics, while the longest running program, from 1985-1995, was a correspondence course in polynomials, initially for high school students in Metropolitan Toronto. It was soon extended across Canada. In the 1980s he also ran a quantum mechanics seminar (1986), a recreational mathematics and combinatorics course (1987-1988), and he also encouraged high school students to compete in the American High School Mathematics Examination competition.

Another area of outreach was working professionals who needed to upgrade their knowledge. There are two examples in this series, a mathematics seminar for secondary school teachers (1964, 1965) and”Operation alert for engineers”. Each fall between 1972 and 1975, the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering offered an engineering update program in seven three-hour sessions, initially for about 40 working engineers from General Electric and later engineers from General Motors in Oshawa.

Professor Barbeau taught one of the sessions in each semester, on linear algebra and linear analysis.

This series ends with files on a number of publications and organizations at the University of Toronto. “Mathematical Mayhem” was a mathematical journal for gifted high school students and undergraduate students created by students at the University of
Toronto. In 1979, Professor Barbeau conceived of the idea of an essay contest in mathematics open to high school students, named in honour of Samuel Beatty, former Dean of Arts and head of the Department of Mathematics, which ran until 1982. The
quality of the submissions was sufficiently high that the trustees of the Samuel Beatty Fund published two volumes of the best essays.

Administrative and teaching files

This series begins with Professor Allemang's appointment files at the University of Toronto (1959-1960, 1965-2003) and at the University of Washington in Seattle (1964-1965), while she was a doctoral student. There is followed by a file on three theses she supervised and a list of names and addresses she compiled of the members of the Class of 1954 in Nursing at the University of Toronto. The remaining administrative files document a variety of activities in the School (later Faculty) of Nursing. The earliest are Muriel Uprichard's files on the degree course for graduate nurses (1951-1963) and staff seminars from 1952-1953. These are followed by a series of reports, including Irene Saarik's report on the School library (1956), the first Nettie Douglas Fidler Lecture (1963), the report of the Sunnybrook-University of Toronto Nursing Project (1981), and an address by Gail Donner to the Faculty of Nursing Alumni Association (1981).

This series consists of papers prepared for presentation at conferences, workshops and other invited talks, reports prepared as a referee for scholarly journals, and working papers published on University of Toronto Department of Economics web site since 1998. The numbers attached to the working papers are from Professor Munro’s 2009 curriculum vitae [see B2014-0035/001(02)] and elsewhere. By the time of his death, he had completed 55 of them for the Departmental website.

Also by May 2009, Professor Munro had given papers at 81 scholarly conferences and invited lectures. He organized three of these conferences. Many of the conference and workshop papers are early versions of later published works (See Series 9). Refereed reports are for such scholarly journals as Journal of Economic History, Explorations in Economic History, Economic History Review (see also Series 5: Other activities), Medieval Studies, American Historical Review and university presses such as the University of Nebraska and Oxford University Press. Files may contain various versions of the typescript report or paper, the final version, along with associated correspondence.

Addresses and speeches

This series contains addresses and speeches presented mainly at peace conferences, meetings and professional sociology associations. Most of them relate to the peace movement, advocacy and disarmament. There is also Spencer's speech on accepting the Jus Prize in Human Rights. Again these papers represent only a small fraction of addresses given throughout Spencer's career. Arrangement is chronological for specific titles with general speeches filed at the end.

Addresses and publications

This series contains, in four folders, two addresses by Dr. Glass, with covering correspondence, and background files. The first was delivered at the 7th International Shock Tube Symposium in Toronto in 1969. The second, "China and its vanished Jews", was also delivered in Toronto on 8 February, 1981. The files relating to it contain correspondence and reports in Chinese, with the originals of the translations into English, along with other background material and press clippings. The final address, "Jewish life at the crossroads: the role of Yiddish literature in the 20th century", is by Dr. Glass's wife, Anne, delivered in 1982 shortly before she died.

Six of the remaining nine files in this series are devoted to Shock Waves and the Man, which was published in 1974 to great academic acclaim as the reviews and notices demonstrate.

Negotiations began almost immediately for its translation into Russian (1977), while editions in Chinese, Polish, Hindi, and Japanese followed. The files for each edition contain correspondence, notes, and some contracts that document the process.

The seventh file contains correspondence, notes, press clippings and other articles that were received in response to Dr. Glass's article, "Terrestrial and cosmic shock waves", that appeared in the July/August, 1977 edition of the American Scientist. Next, there is a file of correspondence with Cambridge University Press (1985-1988) over a proposed book, "Fundamentals of shock waves and shock tubes". The final file contains a copy of Professor Glass's retrospective article, "Forty years of continuous research at UTIAS on nonstationary flows and shock waves", that appeared in the first issue of Shock Waves in 1991, of which Dr. Glass was editor-in-chief.

Addresses and public lectures

Dr. Glass was much sought after as a public lecturer and gave freely of his time. Most of the addresses relate to his professional work, but he also took time to share his private passions, especially the utilization of geothermal energy and his research on the Jews in China. The last arose from his invitations to visit China in 1980 and 1985, where he was awarded an honorary professorship from the prestigious Nanjing Aeronautical Institute.

The files contain drafts of addresses, covering correspondence, notes, programs, press coverage, photoprints and slides.
