Foreword

Preambule

With the presentation of this catalogue, drawn from the Sesquicentennial Historical Exhibition shown at the University's Artists' Centre December 2, 1993 to January 27, 1994, the Committee has attempted to provide readers with a glimpse of the rich history and proud traditions of Bishop's University. It has been produced as a souvenir of the Exhibition, and as a memento of the Sesquicentennial celebrations held during 1993-1994. This publication is by no means exhaustive and it is the hope of the Committee that readers will regard this catalogue as but a sampling of the treasures which are to be found in the University's archives. Due to the restrictions of physical space, the texts are brief and inevitably the names of the men and women who have contributed so much to the history and growth of Bishop's University could not all be mentioned. The Sesquicentennial Historical Exhibition and Catalogue Committee would like to thank the Sesquicentennial Steering Committee and the BelangerGardner Foundation for their financial support. The Committee also wishes to sincerely thank all the many &iends of Bishop's who generously loaned or donated precious photographs, documents and artifacts in the mounting of the exhibition and for the production of this catalogue. Without their generosity, and in some cases, their time and talent, this project would not have been such a success. The Committee gratefully acknowledges the technical assistance of Perry Beaton, Monique Conn, Sylvie COte, Tim Doheny, Catherine Doucet, Nora Hague, Rina Kampeas, Andre laurencelle, Lynda Raymond, Alphonse Saumier and Monique Nadeau-Saumier.

This exhibicion catalogue has been published as part of the ongoing Sesquicentennial Celebrations to provide readers with a glance into Bishop's University's long, rich and proud history. I invite you to meet our founders, Bishop George Jehoshaphat Mountain, The Reverend Lucius Doolittle and The Reverend Jasper Hume Nicolls.

Introduction - Robin B. Burns

The foundation of Bishop's University in the Eastern Townships of the Province of Canada in 1843 must have been an extraordinary act of faith. What was that faith and the world of 1843 like? The engraving of the first building, which is reproduced on the opposite page, is worth more words than this introduction is allowed and provides a glimpse of a part of that world. It was a brick building with some stone, in a British style, and an assertion of permanence when most buildings in the region were wooden and American inspired. The earliest British brick building in the area was only a few years older. It was the Sherbrooke jail; the cccity'sÂť population having reached 800 souls. Civilization had come to an alien, and sometimes hostile frontier, as barren and bleak as the landscape in the engraving above. There was no railway, and, in good weather, it took several days to reach the St. Lawrence by coach on primitive roads and then on to Montreal or Quebec by steamer. Many families still lived in log cabins. Queen Victoria was but 24 years old, but local subjects could not find a Union Jack to celebrate her birthday. Most Townshippers were descended from American pioneers and preferred to celebrate the Fourth ofJuly and fly the Stars and Stripes. Confederation was a generation away. Looking back, 150 years later, the faith of those founders seems to have been based on a certainty which has long since been undermined. It was a time before Charles Darwin, before Sigmund Freud, and before Albert Einstein. That certainty was reflected in the curriculum, a corpus of received tcuth which was recognized throughout the civilized world: the classics in the original Latin and Greek, ancient history, theology, natural philosophy and mathematics. Of course no attention was paid to anything Canadian. The corpus was transmitted in a setting and style by learned genclemen designed to cultivate other educated gentlemen some of whom might hopefully study divinity and become priests. Recti Cultus Pectora Roborant. Of course there was no place for women as students or members of faculty.

Introduction - Robin B. Burns

La flndation en 1843 de rUniversiti Bishop's au coeur des Eastern Townships, les Cantons de l'Est de fa Province du Canada fot certainement un acte de fli extraordinaire. Questce qui, en 1843, pouvait nourrir cettl foil La gravure reproJuiu ci-contre, qui represente It premier edifice, nous donne un aperfU eloquent de la vision entretenue af Ipoque par les fondateurs de /'institution. Chait un batiment de style angLais construit en brique et pierre, signe de solidite et de permanence, alors que dans La region on mgeait d'habitude des edifices en bois inspires du style ammcain. Le premier batiment britannique construit en brique dans La region ne datait en effet que de quelques annees : il lagit de La prison de Sherbrooke, rendue necessaire par Ie diveloppement de La villt qui comptait alors 800 ames. Avec l'universite, La civilisation arrivait au coeur d'un environnement rude, voire hostilt, aussi morne que It paysage reproduit sur la gravure. II n'y avait pas encore de chemin tie fer, et par beau temps it fllLait compter plusieurs jours pour flire en diligence Ie voyage jusquizu Saint-Laurent, par des chemins peu praticablts, puis il fallait poursuivre son chemin vers Montrealou Quebec par bateau avapeur. Bien des flmillts vivaient encore dans des cabanes de bois rond. La reine Victoria nizvait alors que 24 ans, et it n'y avait mbne pas moyen de trouver de drapeau britannique pour clilbrer son anniversaire! La plupart des Townshippers, qui avaient colonise La region, etaimt de souche ammcaine, et prlflraient clilbrer la Fete de l'indlpmdance des Etats-Unis, It 4juillet, en arborant La banniere etoille. On etait encore aune vingtaine diznnees de la Confldlration. En retrospective, 150 ans plus tard, la fli qui animait Its flndateurs de rUniversiti Bishop's semblt fondle sur des convictions qui ont Ite remises en question dtpuis. Cetait avant l'Ipoque de Charles Darwin, Sigmund Freud, bien avant Albert Einstein. Les convictions de l'lpoque se reflltaient dans Ie programme detudes, qui regroupait les disciplines reconnues dAns tout It monde civilise: les etudes classiques en latin et grec ancien, l'histoire de l'Antiquitl, la theologie, les sciences naturelles et les mathhnatiques. Nature//ement, Ie programme ne s'interessait aucunement aquoi que ce soit de canadien. Les cours etaient dispenses par des gentlemen instruits qui se preoccupaient de former dizutres gentlemen dans lespoir que

If the faith of the founders was certain, it was hardly complacent. Lesser men would have despaired. Bishop's College began with one full-time member of faculty who was also the Principal, Jasper Nicolls. In the first year of operation there were ten students, one of whom died of typhoid fever at the beginning of term. Although incorporated by provinciallegislation in 1843, Bishop's was unable to grant de~ees until it received its Royal Charter ten years later. The bill to incorporate caused some debate in the Legislative Assembly. One member objected to incorporation on the grounds that Bishop's was «a poor institution... whose durability was quite uncertain;...of [not] much use to the Church of England or to the cause of literature and science.... » Tuition fees in 1843 may appear to be a pittance today, but for the people of the Eastern Townships then, they were prohibitive. George Stacey, a recent emigrant from England was attempting to support his family on a farm in nearby Ascot Corner. When he learned of the plans for Bishop's, he wrote, «It will be a great advantage to those who can afford to be educated. The expenses for tuition will be about £ 20 or £ 25 per annum, far beyond my means.)) The one advantage he obtained was to supply some of the wood needed for the construction of the college building. One of the earliest trustees wrote to advise that no one in the Brome area could even afford to send a son to the Bishop's grammar school, adding, «...instead of being a popular school with its hundreds, it is ... a penal setdement for Quebec and Montreal.» In 150 years, Bishop's has proved to be durable and has made a contribution to the cause of literature and science. What would the founders think of Bishop's today: the campus, the curriculum, 2,000 students, women and men? What would Queen Victoria think? Would Jasper Nicolls still be as amused as he appears to be in his portrait? Probably. ~

Que penseraient Its fondateurs tit Bishops al'beure actuellt: son campus, ses programmes d'ltudes, ses 2 000 ltudiants, hommes et flmmes? Qu'en dirait III reine Victoria?

- Moniqlle Natieall-Saumier One remarkable achievement among those marking the history of Bishop's University over the past 150 years is the conrinuiry with which (he inicial integration of architecture to environment has been maintained. An important architectural style, Gothic Revival, and an aesthetic philosophy, the Picturesque movement, have prevailed in the developmem of the campus from the institution's beginnings in the 1840s to this day.

Gothic Revival was in keeping with Bishop's College's initial vocation, which was to train Anglican clergymen as well as «to offer to the COUntry at large the blessing of a sound and liberal education«. The style fostered a retu rn to the architectural forms of the Middle Ages in Britain, in panicular the 13th aold 14th centuries, largely inspired by the Ecclesiological Societies of Oxford and Cambridge, advocateS of a faithful imitation of medieval protOtypes in religious architecture. As to the aesthetic philosophy, it was related to the English love of narural scenery and concern for landscape, fundamental aspeers of the Picturesque move-

John George Howard, the English-born architect from Toronto, designed the Gothic Revival building first erected on this site. The facade of the imposing brick structure consisted of five bays divided by bumesses, the central bay enhanced by a crenelated rower.

Expansion first came in 1848 wirh the construction of ,The Lodge., a residence for Ihe Principal, al Ihe soulhern end of Ihe college building. Featuring an oriel window and pointed finials on the roof, the new wing was consistent with the AIlS Building's architectural style. The construclion of a chapel was undertaken in 1853, JUSta few ya rds north of Ihe college. Consecrated in 1857, Sr. Mark's Chapel was a simple, steep-gabled struclure wilh ogival windows and perpendicular bumesses, a direcI reference 10 early English GOlhic style. It was subsequently joined 10 Ihe college building by Ihe addilion of an ante-chapel and common room, crealing a continuous structure from Ihe chapel 10 Ihe principal's residence. In 1861, a separate building was constructed 10 accommodate Ihe grammar school, Ihen associated wilh Ihe university. Wilh irs pointed gables crowned by a lofty spire, the Stately new structure seemed to overshadow rhe neighbouring chapel and college building.

In January of 1874, bOlh chapel and school building were destroyed by fire. Less Ihan IWO years later, in December of 1875, a second fire gulled Ihe interior of Ihe AIlS Building and caused extensive damage to the Principal's residence at the soulh end and 10 the dining hall in Ihe north end. James Nelson, [he Monrreal architect in charge of the reconstruclion of Ihe college building, altered Ihe configuration of Ihe roof 10 Ihe mansarded Second Empire style which was popular for public architecture in Ihe mid 1870's. During Ihe reconstruclion process, Ihe chapel was enlarged by Ihe addilion of a chancel. Few changes were made until 1891 when a major conAagration destroyed bOlh Ihe chapel and Ihe school for Ihe second lime. The fire Ihreatened Ihe Arts Building as well, bur il was saved due 10 Ihe effollS of Ihe students, staff and townspeople. The chapel, reconstructed in the same position and style, was reopened in 1895. The new interior furnishings in Townships ash featured superb wood panelling and intricately carved finials, as well as sculptures of exquisite craftsmanship, representing eighl kneeling angels and Ihe four Evangelists. In 1898, the university undertook a major renovalion program which was Ii.lIlded by an endowment from the Hamilton Memorial, in memory of Robert HamillOn, a former

A new residence for the Principal was constructed in 1908, sourh of the common, upon a knoll overlooking the campus. The wide verandah of [his stately brick building, a link between interior and exterior spaces, was a direct reference to the picturesque movement of the previous cemury.

a concert hall which is the pride of Bishop's music department. During the Sesquicentennial year, McGreer Hall, the oldest and most significant building on the campus, was returned to Bishop's University after having been leased to Champlain College since 1971. Following a major renovation program, McGreer Hall now houses the administration offices, committee rooms and faculty common room. The consultation room for the Archives of Bishop's University and the Eastern Townships Research Centre is now located in the former library wing of 1909. In her address to the convocation of 1987, Phyllis Lambert, architect and founder of the Canadian Centre of Architecture, had these comments on the campus of Bishop's University: ((Each generation interprets its patrimony in a different way according to the lessons of the past. Given the wanton destruction of our cities and the consequent loss of urban form, of architectural heritage and of community, we view Bishop's University as an oasis...Those who live here for some time, consciously or unconsciously, gain an understanding of what a city could and should be - the relevance of scale, of defined space, the pleasure of the pedestrian who progresses through a series of outdoor rooms and is aware of the play of light, the quality of material, of the play between built and natural form, the respectful relationships of buildings each to the other. This academic village will provide you with a scale to measure by, wherever you may live in the future. You will also remember the pleasure of security and the intellectual and visceral satisfaction of being anchored in history.» For students and other members of the university community who walk about the campus daily, as well as for first-time visitors, the architecture of Bishop's provides a sense of time and place. John George Howard's initial decision to use brick as the building material, a reference to English college architecture, has remained a consistent choice for most of Bishop's subsequent constructions. This serves to unify the variety of architectural styles and different historical perspectives. As in the beginning, the human scale

Dans une allocution presentle Iors de Ia collation des diplOmes en 1987, l'architecte montrealaise Phyllis Lambert, flndatrice du Centre Canadien d'Architecture, dlcrivait ainsi Ie campus de luniversite Bishop's: «Chaque glneration interprete son patrimoine de foron diffbente, selon les lerons du passe. Dans Ie contexte dune destruction i"ej/lchie de nos villes qui entratne Ia perte de Ia trarne urbaine, de son patrimoine architectural et de sa communautl, Ie campus de I'Universite Bishop's foit figure d'oasis... Ceux qui y vivent durant quelque temps en viennent lz percevoir, consciemment ou inconsciemment, ce que devrait et pou"ait etre une ville - /'importance de /echelle humaine, de l'espace bien difini, Ie plaisir du pieton qui, travmant les pieces exthieures, est sensible au jeu de Ia lumim, aIa qualitl du matiTiau, a l'affinitl des flnnes construites et des flnnes naturel/es, aIa relation respectueuse de chaque edifice envm son voisin.

Pour les ltudiants, comrne pour les autres membres de Ia communautl universitaire qui tUambulent quotidiennement en ses murs, ainsi que pour les nouveaux visiteurs, l'architecture de Bishop's rcprlsente l'appartenance aun lieu et une epoque bien difinis.

The Graduate School of Education

Ecole de hautes ItuJes en Iducation

The first formal training for teachers at Bishop's was a Course of lectures on the Art of Teaching, given by Dr. S.P. Robins, Principal of the McGill Normal School, during the Lent term in 1897. Encouraged by the enrolment in this course, Corporation requested Principal Adams to meet with the College Council and a committee of the trustees to develop a permanent programme for the training of prospective teachers. This committee's proposal for a course of lectures and a stage of supervised practice teaching in local schools was approved by the Protestant Committee of the Council of Public Instruction, and the programme was introduced during the 1898-99 session. The Central Board of Examiners of the Protestant Committee participated in the examination of the seven students who followed the course, which marked the beginning of the long and fruitful engagement of the university in the struggle to raise the standard of teaching in the schools of the province. Bishop's and McGill had already agreed to offer admission with advanced standing to holders of Academy (teaching) diplomas who wished to study for a degree. However, most of these were women, and it was not until 1903 that Bishop's admitted women to a degree course. The first woman graduate from Bishop's was Anna Bryant, a teacher at the Lennoxville Academy who had been admitted with advanced standing and took her B.A. in 1905. Over the next twenty years, teaching became the professional goal of a majority of the undergraduates in Arts. In 1922, the Protestant Committee introduced more demanding criteria for the High School Diploma, including more

theoretical study, a course of physical education and 50 halfdays of supervised practice teaching. Bishop's responded by appointing Dr. W.O. Rothney, the school inspector for the region, to supervise this professional training, which was to be absorbed by the candidates in addition to their work in Arts. By 1925, it was evident to the faculty that, under this regime, satisfactory results could be obtained neither in Arts nor in Education. At Rothney's urging, Principal McGreer agreed that a graduate year in Education must be established and a full-time professor appointed to supervise it. He also undertook to introduce a summer school for teachers, which would include courses for experienced teachers who aspired to positions as principals or inspectors. McGreer was successful in a campaign to obtain a grant from the provincial government to cover the professor's salary, and he also succeeded in persuading Rothney to leave his secure and pensionable position as an inspector in 1928 to become the first Professor of Education. Under his leadership, Bishop's graduates in Education came to exert an influence out of proportion with their numbers on the Protestant school system. During the 1939-45 war, enrolment in the High School Diploma course fell off, and by 1943-44 only three students were entolled. During that session, Dr. Rothney became critically ill, and these students had to be transferred to McGill to complete their training. Noting the small enrolment at Bishop's, Principal James of McGill suggested to the Protestant Committee that all teacher training in the province could be more economically carried out at McGill. However, McGreer was convinced of the value of the Bishop's post-graduate year in Education and confident that enrolment would recover at the end of the war. Fortunately he was able to replace Rothney with J.D. Jefferis, an alumnus and an experienced high school teacher who had completed his doctorate in classics at the University of Toronto and was teaching at Waterloo Lutheran College. Thus fortified, he marshalled his considerable lobbying resources to repel bearders, and was able to persuade Principal James to withdraw his proposal.

Under «Dr. Jeff.», enrolment in the graduate year increased to the largest number for which facilities for practice teaching could be found in the region's English-language schools. Graduates of the programme became known for their ability to function effectively in isolated schools, where they had to depend on their own intellectual resources. A programme leading to the degree of Master of Education was developed, which involved a further session of course work and the writing of a thesis, and in 1964 the department was expanded into a Graduate School of Education, with provision made for a research appointment During the financial crisis of the 70s, this appointment fell by the wayside; but A W. Jones, who succeeded J. D. Jefferis on the latter's retirement in 1968, was nevertheless able to maintain the standing of the School's Diploma which, exceptionally, qualified its holders to teach in both elementary and secondary schools.

In 1880, several members of the St Francis Bar decided that it was desirable to establish a Faculty of Law at the University of Bishop's College. Though they were aware that the prospects were not very encouraging, since the teaching would have to be done by busy practitioners and the reservoir of potential students was not large, they were willing to make the experiment. Corporation welcomed the proposal. The first Dean of the Faculty was Robert Newton Hall, sometime Batonnier of the Quebec Bar, M.P. for Sherbrooke from 1882 to 1891 and a director of several railroads. The members of the faculty were L.c. Belanger, E.T. Brooks, H.B. Brown, H.C. Cabana and L.E. Morris, and lecturers were also given at one time or another by D.W.R. Hodge, L.E. Panneton and S.B. Sanborn. Morris was Joint Prothonotary for the District. The others were all members of the St. Francis Bar practising in Sherbrooke. There were in fact 20 advocates already established in Sherbrooke to serve a population of 8,000, and a total of 35 to serve a population of 55,000 in the District. Unless the Townshippers were exceptionally litigious, the local prospects for graduates of the new Faculty would seem to have been slim.

Nevertheless, a three-year course of lectures was established. To be admitted to the Faculty, candidates had to present a certificate of good character and pass an examination in French, Latin and English. They were examined at the end of each of the first two years on the subjects appointed for those years, and at the end of the final year on the subjects appointed together with such portions of the course of the earlier years as Convocation in conjunction with the Faculty should see fit to specify. Four students matriculated in 1880 and seven in 1881, and of those, three graduated LL.B. in 1883 and four in 1884. However, the initial misgivings proved to be wellfounded. The reservoir of potential students from the region was small, and increasingly French-speaking. Most graduates of Bishop's in Arts who intended to practise Law went to McGill or Harvard. By 1888, enrolment in the Faculty had fallen to four, and the last LL.B. in course was granted in that year. In all, fifteen degrees in course were granted by the Faculty during its short life.

The Faculty of Medicine In 1871, five Montreal doctors, Francis Campbell, Aaron David, William Hingston, Charles Smallwood and Edward Trenholme, decided to found a second English-language medical school in Montreal. Their principal motivation was to obtain access, as attending physicians and surgeons, to the Montreal General Hospital (MGH) and the Hotel Dieu. The responsibilities attached to those posts ind~ded the clinical instruction of medical students, and appolOtments to them were jealously-guarded prerogatives of the established Faculties of Medicine, of McGill (teaching in English) and of the University of Victoria College (teaching at the Hotel Dieu in French). Insofar as the practice medicine was scientific at the time, it depended on the dose observation of the symptoms of suffering humanity. Its essentiallaboratories were therefore the hospitals, and access to the hospitals as an attending physician or surgeon was vital to any practitioner who aspired to excellence. Only candidates who possessed a university degree in medicine could obtain a licence to practise in Quebec. The

new school therefore sought affiliation with Bishop's and at the Annual Meeting of Corporation held in June, 1871, statutes for the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Bishop's College were approved and the five founders were appointed Professors. A number of other lecturers were appointed from the ranks of the practising medical men in Montreal. The first lectures were given in temporary quarters; but by October, 1872, the Faculty had taken possession of a new building at the corner of St. George and Ontario Streets, designed to provide ample facilities for lectures and practical work in anatomy and the other pre.clinical laboratories. Clinical instruction proved to be much more difficult to arrange. At first, both major hospitals refused to admit to their clinics students who had not matriculated in the established Faculties; but by the end of the 1872-73 session their resistance had been overcome and Bishop's students were admitted to the regular clinical lectures at both institutions. Another problem was to provide access to enough obstetrical cases to secure the minimum number of attendances at childbirth required for a licence to practise. To respond to this need, the Faculty made arrangements with several 'lying-in' hospitals and, eventually, leased the new Western Hospital which had been constructed at the corner of Dorchester and Atwater streets in 1879, to be developed initially as a hospital specializing in obstetrics and gynaecology. The fledgling Faculty also pioneered the introduction into the curriculum of courses in public health and laboratories in experimental physiology. By 1881, when the Faculty celebrated its tenth anniversary, Bishop's graduates were received in the hospitals of Great Britain and the United States on the same basis as those from McGill and the University of Toronto. Acceptance in Montreal took longer; but in 1890 and 1891, Bishop's graduands were successful in the annual competition for residencies at the MGH. At first, the mother tongue of one-third of the Bishop's students was French; but in 1884 the religious authorities began to exert pressure on French-speaking students to attend medical schools under Roman Catholic control, and by the end of the decade only a few remained.

Cest ainsi que la nouvelle ecole voulut laffilier avec Bishop's; Iors de sa reunion annue//e, la Corporation fiXil en juin 1871 les statuts de la Faculte de medecine de I'University o/Bishop's College. Les cinq fondateurs y devinrent professeurs titulaires. On choisit Igalement plusieurs instructeurs parmi les mldecins pratiquant a Montrlal. Les premiers cours se donnerent dans des Iocaux temporaires; cependant, tits octobre 1872, la [aculte de mtdecine etait installle dans un nouvelldifice au coin des rues St. George et Ontario. Etudiants et professeurs jouissaient dans cet edifice des locaux et equipements necessaires aux cours thloriques et pratiques en anatomie, et aux autres laboratoires prlcliniques. La formation clinique mtait cependant beaucoup plus problJmatique. Au depart, les deux grands hOpitaux refosaient d'atlmettre dautres etudiants que Ctux qui etaient insmts dans les flcultls reconnues. Ce nest qu'a la fin de tannee 1872-73 que leur resistance fot vaincue, et les etudiants de Bishops purent dorenavant assister aux cours cliniques des deux Itablissements hospitaliers. II flllut egalement rlsoudre un autre probltme, celui de lacces aun nombre suffisant daccouchements pour que les etudiants satisfassent les normes presmtes pour obtenir leur licence. Pour repondre ace besoin, la Faculte prit des arrangements splciaux avec plusieurs maternites, et finit par louer les services du Western Hospital nouvellement construit au coin des rues Dorchester et Atwater en 1879.

In 1890, Octavia Grace Ritchie applied for admission to the Faculty. A graduate of McGill, she had been refused admission to McGill's medical Faculty because she was a woman. After considerable debate, it was decided to admit her, and she was joined in September by Maude Abbott, also a graduate of McGill. Both women had great difficulty in obtaining admission to the clinical lectures at the MGH, and in May, 1891, the governors of that institution were persuaded to refuse to admit any more women to the clinic. Bishop's continued to admit women until 1897, providing clinics for them in Medicine and Surgery at the Western Hospital; but attendance at clinics in a hospital with at least 100 beds was required for a licence to practise in Quebec, and Western Hospital had fewer than SO. In all, 12 women graduated in the Faculty during the decade. As students, they had completed successfully with their male fellows, and most of them subsequencly practised their profession, several with distinction. By 1900, the rapid development of the medical sciences had radically changed the practice of medicine and greacly increased the scientific content of the undergraduate curriculum. With its generously endowed Chairs and scientific laboratories, McGill was in a much stronger position than Bishop's to respond to this development. The Bishop's faculty had also by this time been seriously weakened by McGill's systematic raids on its most promising younger members, to whom the McGill Faculty could offer resident and attending positions at the MGH. In 1904, Francis Campbell fell ill, and it quickly became evident that without his leadership the Faculty could not survive. In 1905, Bishop's agreed to close down the Faculty of Medicine and the Bishop's graduates were granted ad eundem status by the McGill Faculty. During its 34 years of teaching, the Bishop's Faculty had trained 246 doctors to internationally recognized standards. Since Canada's population grew rapidly during this period and, because of the rigorous licencing standards in Ontario and Quebec, the country was not oversupplied with medical men, the Faculty endowed Canada with a very useful legacy.

Apres de Iongues hesitations, Bishop's accepta de l'admettre, et tits Ie mois de septembre de cette meme annie, une autre diplOmle de McGill, Maude Abbott, s'ajouta. Les deux femmes eurent bien du mal II obtenir Ie droit d'assister aux cours cliniques du MGH; d'ailleurs, en mai 1891, les administrateurs tit l'hopital cltitrent aux pressions barrant l'acces des femmes II la formation clinique. Bishop's continua d'admettre tits femmes jusqu'en 1897, leur offiant une formation clinique en mldecine et chirurgie au western Hospitak cependant, il follait foire ses stages cliniques dans un hOpital d'au moins 100 lits pour avoir sa licence au Quebec, et Ie western Hospital n'en comptait meme pas 50.

The Faculty ofMwic at Bishop's University Tom Gordon Dey.uunentofMwic

Ia formlltion des medecins, fa flcult! de mtdecine de Bishops fit au Canatl4 une contribution non n!gligeabk dans ce domaine.

Founded in June of 1886, the Faculty of Music at Bishop's University was only the second institution to grant the degree of Mus. Bac. in Canada. An initiative of organist/composer William Reed, the Faculty offered degrees by examination in an effort to establish national standards for professional musicians and music teachers. In 1895 Bishop's formalized an affiliation with the Dominion College of Music in Montreal to provide practical instruction for its students under the guidance of a group of British emigre musicians, particularly Percival Illsley, organist at St. George's in Montreal. Phantom though the Faculty was in the University's history, it led a paper life of over sixty years, bestowed degrees on some twenty musicians, and if only obliquely, contributed to the health and development of colonial musical institutions in the post-confederate era. Simultaneous efforts to establish the study of music as a liberal art in the curriculum of Bishop's University were initiated on March 25, 1891 by a petition to the College Council signed by 90% of the student body that (cprovision should be made for the study of music.» With the encouragement of the enlightened Rev. Dr. Thomas Adams, Bishop's principal from 1885 to 1899, music blossomed on the banks of the Massawippi. RN. Hudspeth, Bishop's first lecturer in science, as well as being a gifted artist and musician, wrested the choral singing in the chapel from the deplorable state to which it had sunk. And Arthur Dorey, the flamboyant organist from St. Peter's Church in Sherbrooke offered concert series on campus, establishing singing classes for Divinity students, and stimulated the musical life of the University through procuring its first piano in 1894. Music grew to assume so central a role in the University's life that the Corporation approved in October of 1896 the establishment of a chair in music. After an extensive search the position was offered to John E. Barkworth, a distinguished English organist with impeccable credentials. Barkworth's eventual rejection of the offer stole the momentum from the movement which might have

Like its Faculty of Medicine. Bishop's Faculty of Music was among the first to admit women. Percival Ulsley, Registrar of the Dominion College of Music, petitioned Bishop's College Council in February 1894 to admit his student Jennie Elizabeth Howard in the Bachelor of Music programme, five years later Miss Howard was awarded her degree in 1899 on the basis of her cantata «The Lord is My Shepherd .• Tout comme la facult6 de m6decine,Ia facult6 de musique de

made Bishop's the first Canadian university to have a chair in music. With the passing of Principal Thomas Adams in 1898, so passed also efforts to entrench the study of music in the life of the University. For the next seventy years Bishop's had no alternative but to resist the recurrent student entreaties to «give music its place...and a very prominent one in the College education» (The Mitre, 1899). The University encouraged its fair share of musical societies, glee clubs and theatricals, but the «e1evatint, and refining influences» which would be brought through the scientific study of music were denied its students until the establishment of the present Department of Music under Professor Emeritus Howard Brown in 1978. ~

Peter de Sherbrooke, donnait des concerts sur Ie campus, instimait des cours de chant pour les etudiants en theologie, et stimulait Ia vie musicale de ntablissement en foisant l'acquisition du premier piano en 1894. La musique finit parjouer un role central dans Ia vie de luniversitl, attl point que Ia corporation approuva en octobre 1896 Ia crlation dune chaire en musique. Apres de vives recherches, Ie poste fot offert aJohn E Barkworth, un organiste britannique renomml et de compltence incontestable. Lorsque celui-ci rejeta finalement cette o./fre, on vit ilteindre Ie dynamisme qui aurait pu faire de Bishop's Ia premiere universitl au Canada aposseder sa chaire de musique. Ie dices du principal Thomas Adams en 1898 sonna egalement Ie glas de tous les efforts qui avaient eu pour but d'asseoir solidement les etudes musicales dans Ia vie de luniversitl Pendant les soixante-dix ans qui suivirent, Bishop's neut d'autre alternative que de rlsister aux reclamations repetees des ltudiants aleffit qUII follait «voir adonner aIa musique sa place IIgitime ... et bien une place de choix au sein de !'education ofJerte par Ie Colltge» (The Mitre, 1899). L'Universiti Bishop's encourageait toujours de son mieux nombre de clubs de musique, chorales, et representations diverses, mais on dut attendre 1978 pour quun veritable programme d'etude tMorique de Ia musique ;uisse exercer une « influence civilisatrice et edifiante» sur les etudiants, comme The Mitre l'avait rlclaml autrefois. Cest en eJfot a cette date que Ie dipartement de musique qui emte encore actuellement fot fondi et place sous Ia direction du Professeur Emeritus Howard Brown.~

Divinity at Bishop's La theologie aBishop's - CIH. Nicholl The primary purpose of the founders was to train ordinands for the Anglican Church, and the first ten students in 1845 were all candidates for ordination. Principal jasper Hume Nicolls was the first professor of Divinity. However, by 1855 he was finding it impossible to keep up with the necessary reading during a period of great theological and ecclesiastical turmoil. He took over the chair of Classics and j.H. Thompson was appointed professor of Divinity. In 1866, due to the desperate financial situation of the university, the trustees could no longer pay his salary. One of Nicolls' first students, Henry Roe, was a parish priest in the city of Quebec. A member of the College Council, the Reverend Charles Hamilton, volunteered to assume Roe's parish duties gratuitously, and Roe came to Nicolls' aid as (unpaid) professor of Divinity. Thanks largely to the efforts of Charles' brother Robert and the Reverend C.P. Reid of Sherbrooke, an endowment for the Harrold chair of Divinity was raised in 1885, and Henry Roe became the first incumbent. The improved financial situation enabled Corporation to appoint Ej.B. Allnatt as Professor of Pastoral Theology, and in 1887 Convocation approved a B.A (Theological Honours) programme of four years' duration as an alternative to the two years of the License in Sacred Theology programme which had been offered since 1845. In 1891, a generous capital grant from the S.P.c.K. in London made it possible to build Divinity House as a residence for Allnatt and his students. There was little subsequent change in the Divinity programme until the appointment of Philip Carrington as Harrold Professor and Dean of Divinity in 1927. During the 1928-29 session he introduced a thorough revision which

required ,he Divinity class of 1930 to remain ar rhe university until 1932. Four of ,hem became bishops. In 1935, Carring,on was elected Bishop of Quebec and ,hus became vice-president and later president of Corporarion. From ,his eminence he conrinued to exert powerful influence on instruction in Divinity. He appointed Basil Jones replace him as Dean, and in 1939 he ve,oed a proposal by ,he Faculty of Divinity ,hat a 3-year course in Arts should be a prerequisi,e for all Divinity students.

In 1947, ,he Corporation was secularized, over Carrington's (now become archbishop) determined opposirion, and when Basil Jones ,hen refused to recognize its au,hority over ,he Faculty of Divinity, his appointment was ,erminated. Though ,he arch bishop played no pa" in ,he appointment ofJones' successor WR Coleman, he was soon reconciled to the new order. When Coleman left in 1952 to become principal of Huron College, Carrington, at Principal lewin's requeSf) conducted an energetic search in England which led to the appoimment of Sidney Jellicoe as Dean and Lewis Clarke as Leerurer. This did much '0 convince ,he bishops who controlled ,he entry into Divinity ,har, though ,he Corporation was secular, the Faculty of Divinity was sound. During ,he 1960s, grants from public funds increased until ,hey provided almost all ,he operating revenue of ,he university which did no, come from studen' fees. During ,he same period ,he Executive of ,he Anglican Church of Canada exerred increasing pressure roward the concentration of Anglican theological insrruction at large universities with multidenominational schools of Theology. In 1970, i, was decided to admit no more Divinity srudenrs and to convert rhe Faculty of Divinity into a department of Religious Studies.

The Chapel

La chapel/e

In 1845, Bishop Mountain set aside £400 from the Harrold benefaction to establish a building fund for the Chapel. Throughout his 32 years as Principal, Jasper Hume Nicolls canvassed energeriailly for the fund In 1857, he was able to finance construction of the first Chapel, a simple nave extending from the north door as far as the fourth pair of windows on the east side. St. Mark's Chapel was destroyed by fire in 1874. Over a period of several years, it was rebuilt following the original design as closely as possible, but with the extension of the nave toward the Quad and the addition of the apse housing the present sanctuary. A second fire in 1891 demolished the chapel again along with the School Building. It was rebuilt in 1892 as a memorial to Principal Nicolls. The superb interior woodwork was completed in 1898 under the direction of the firm of George Long of Sherbrooke. However, most of the intricate craftsmanship is attributed to a Sherbrooke sculptor and cabinetmaker, George Belanger. The thirty-one beautiful stained glass windows were installed during the same period and are the work of a Montreal firm, Messrs. Spence and Sons. In 1962 another fire broke out in the basement of the Chapel but was extinguished before it reached the main part of the building. However there was considerable smoke and water damage and the delicate carvings and woodwork had to be cleaned and refinished. The resulting lighter finish on the wood enhances the beauty of the work. In 1989 St. Mark's Chapel was classified as an historical monument by the Cultural Affairs Ministry of Quebec. ~

En 1845, 1'!v2que Mountain mit de coti 400 £ provenant de la donation Harroldpour instituer un fonds destinl ala construction de la chapelle. Tout au long de ses 32 ans com me principal de /etablissement, Jasper Hume Nicolls ne mmagea pas ses eflOrts pour gamir ce fondr. En 1857, ilY avait assez d'argent d'amassl pour financer la construction de la premiere chapelle, une simple nefallant de laporte du cott nord jusqua la quatrieme paire de [entlres du cotl est. Ia chapelle St-Mark fot dltruite dans un incendie en 1874. Le reconstruction qui eut lieu sur une plriode de plusieurs annles respecta Ie plus possible Ie style et Ie plan du premier ldifice, malgrl une extension de la nefvers Ie Quad, et l'addition de l'abside qui abrite maintenant Ie choeur. Un deuxieme incendie en 1891 dhnolit cependant de nouveau la chapelle, ainsi que /edifice du college. On reconstruisit en 1892 en mhnoire du principal Nicolls. Les magnifiques boiseries de IInthieur de la chapelle forent terminles en 1898, signles par la firme George Long de Sherbrooke. Cependant, on doit la plupart de ce travail d'artiste au sculpteur et Iblniste sherbrookois, Georges Blltznger. C'est a cette plriode quon installa les trente et un magnifiques vitraux; ceux-ci sont I'oeuvre de Itz firme montrlalaise de Spence et fils. En 1962, un autre incentiie se tUclara dans Ie sous-sol de Itz chapelle' heureusmzent maitrisl avant qu'il n'atteigne la partie principale de ledifice. IIy eut cependant beaucoup de tUgats dus aItz fomle et aleau, ce qui nlcessita des travaux de nettoyage et de reparation des tUlicates sculptures et boiseries. Le fini de couleur plus cltzire qui en rlsulta ne fait que mettre en valeur Itz beautl de celte oeuvre. En 1989, la chapelle St-Marc a Itt tUclarle monument historique par Ie ministere des Affoires culturelles du Quebec. ~

Academic History

Programmes universitaires - CIH. Nicholl Le Mission of Bishop's University is to provide a sound and liberal education primarily at the undergraduate level. The goal is the education of individuals to realize their full potential in their intellectual, spiritual, social and physical dimensions. To this end the University emphasizes excellence in teaching enriched by scholarship and research. In addition, Bishop's encourages frequent interaction between students and faculty, participation in non-academic activities, openness within a uniquely Canadian bi-culrural environment, and a keen sense of responsibility to others.

Academic History - Arts and Sciences Though the immediate purpose of the founders was to produce clergy for the Anglican church in Lower Canada, instruction in Arts was offered from the beginning and degrees in Arts were conferred at the first Convocation in 1855. The original curriculum was designed to develop what were considered to be the principal faculties of man as an intellectual being, Language and Reason. The study of classical literature, as far as possible in the original languages, was held to be the best means of educating the first of these, and the reasoning powers were to be developed by mathematical exercises. Residence in an academic community was held to be essential, and instruction in the Christian religion was compulsory. As early as 1860, Principal Nicolls (1845-1877) hoped to expand the curriculum to include the study of drama, modern history and modern languages, and the trustees were pressing for the introduction of courses in engineering and ÂŤsciences of practical utilityÂť. It had also become evident

Pour ce foire, l'universitl mtend flurnir un enseignement de qualitl suplrieure, m sappuyant sur l'lrudition et les activitls de recherche de son corps professoral De plus, Bishops encourage des contacts frlquents entre Ies ltudiants et Ies professeurs, Ia partidpation aux activitls para-universitaires, l'ouverture d'esprit fovorisle par un contexte biculturel unique au Canada, et Ie sens aigu de ses responsabilitls envers les autres.

Le cursus de I'lpoque visait adevelopper chez les ltudiants ce quon consid/rait comme les prindpales focultts intellectuelles de Ia personne humaine : Ie langage et Ia raison. On enseignait donc Ia littlrature classique autant que possible dans ses langues dorigine pour flnner les ttudiants aux richesses de Ia langue, tandis qUII fol/ait divelopper les capadtls de raisonnement par des extrdces de mathematiques. On considlrait alors que Ia rlsidence en milieu universitaire foisait intlgralement partie de /education quon y recevait, et l'etude de Ia religion chrltienne ttait obligatoire.

4. Prince of Wales Medal! MedaiHe du prince de Galles The Prince of Wales Scholarship and Prize was founded in 1860 by a gift from H.R.M. the Prince of Wales, 00 the occasion of his visit to this country. Open to all undergraduates, it was offered annually for the best examination in certain Classical subjects. A brooze medal was awarded and then a gold if the same candidate won a second time. For many years the winner would also receive a book bearing the crest of the University. The nature of the scholarship has changed over the years; in 1953 the prize became monetary only, as it continues to be to this day. Le prix d'exceHence du prince de Galles Jut cree en 1860

that, if the study of English would not be admitted on the same level as that of Classics, instruction in English composition would nevertheless require a great deal of the facultis time. Plus ~ change! However it was not until the end of the century that enrolment and the College finances permitted enrichment. In 1898, Greek ceased to be compulsory except for theological students, and the Ordinary degree programme was strengthened by the provision of courses in philosophy, constitutional history and political economy. In 1902, Convocation authorized Honour programmes in history and in philosophy and political economy, and by 1920, modern languages was added. Each of the Honours programmes was the responsibility of one member of faculty. During Principal McGreees reign (1922-1947), enrolment grew to 200 and the study of chemistry, physics and biology was introduced. Three courses in divinity, two in English and two in Latin were still compulsory. The Ordinary degree programme now included 7 courses in each of the first two years and six in the third, accomplishing in three «long" (September-June) years what most Canadian universities accomplished in four «short)) (September-April) years. In 1936 Convocation authorized a programme leading to a Bachelor of Science degree. During the 1950s, at first the Honours and then the Ordinary degree programmes were converted to four short years, in order to conform to the requirements of graduate schools and professional accreditation bodies. Economics, geography and psychology were added to the list of subjects taught. Latin was replaced by a compulsory course in classical civilizations and growth in enrolment to 450 permitted faculty establishment to be increased to provide at least two instructors in most departments. A programme in business administration was introduced, at first within the Faculty of Arts. By 1970, Convocation had authorized the degree of Bachelor of Business Administration. With the advent of government financing in the 1960s and a further growth in enrolment to 1100 undergraduates, it became possible to provide at least 3 instructors in most departments. The study of sociology and music was initiat-

ed, but at the end of the decade the separation of the twelfth and thirteenth year of instruction into a Ministry-supervised curriculum forced abandonment of compulsory courses in divinity and classical civilizations. The loss of the CEGEP years reduced enrolment to 600 and caused severe financial difficulties. However, the university was determined to complete the circle of its academic interests. Drama was recognized as a separate department in 1971, and programmes leading to Major degrees in fine arts and music were instituted in 1978. Over the next fifteen years, growth in enrolment to 1900 has filled out the new departments and produced a balanced enrolment among the four divisions-humanities, exact sciences, social sciences and business administration. Thus residence in the academic community still offers the breadth of intellectual stimulation which was deemed essential in the founders' idea of the university. ~

Sports and Recreation

Sports et loisirs 1. Bishop George J. Mountain, one of the founders of Bishop's University, sports the famous Bishop's gaiters.

- Christine Ljungkull 1843 -1891 There are few accounts of early sports at Bishop's. However, early diaries record that students eagerly participated in team sports such as cricket and football. In the early years, lectures finished at 1:00 p. m. and the afternoons could be used by students as they liked. This was the time that many spent participating in numerous sporting clubs and recreational activities such as boating, tennis, the game of fives and skating. The competitive sports of cricket and rugby-football held annual matches as early as 1873 of School vs. Old Boys. The College teams also played against local teams from Sherbrooke and Stanstead. The Bishop's teams were able to hold their own against the tough farm boys despite the College's small enrolment. A Fives (similar to handball) and Racquets Court was built in 1873 and the games soon became popular with the students. There was also a Lawn Tennis Court in front of Old Lodge towards the river. This sport took a while to catch on and was not considered very exciting until the players began to use heavier «bats) and harder rubber balls than were originally used. In 1851 the school possessed a flat bottomed boat which was rigged up with a mast and sail for outings on the St Francis River. The College's fleet eventually grew to include five brightly painted row boats and a red four-oar skiff which was paddled on the Massawippi with brooms. A boat house was eventually built at river side near the CPR bridge. Another sport which was for adventurous students only was to swim in the river during warm weather off the tip of the

In 1947 a competition was sponsored by the Committee on

1843-1891 Bien qu'on sathe peu aprlsent de Ia vie sportive clans les premieres annles de Bishop's, j/ semble d'apres les Icrits de lepoque que les ltudiants partidpaient activement ades sports d'equipe tels que Ie cricket et Ie football Aux dibuts de luniversit/, les cours se terminaient a13 heures, laissant aux ltudiants Ia possibilitl de disposer libremmt de l'apres-midi. Bien des ltudiants en profitaient pour partidper aune varilti de clubs sportifi ou ades activitls de Ioisir comme Ie canotage, Ie tennis, Ia balle au mur, ou Ie patinage. Des 1873, avaient lieu des matchs annuels de cricket et rugby entre lequipe universitaire du moment et une formation d'andens. Les Iquipes de luniversiti se mesuraient Igalement aux Iquipes locales de Sherbrooke et Stanstead. Malgrl Ie petit nombre d'etudiants, Bishop's n'avait pas arougir de Ia qualiu de ses Iquipes sportives qui tenaient en Ichec les robustes gaillards des Iquipes locales. Un fronton de balle au mur et jeu de paume fot construit en 1873; ces jeux devinrent vite popu/ajres aupres des ltudiants. On jouait Igalement au tennis sur gazon pres de Old Lodge non loin de Ia riviere. Ce sport neut pas Ie meme succes avant quon commence a utiliser une plus grosse batte et une balle de caoutchouc plus dure que ce qui servait al'origine. En 1851, luniversitl disposait dun bateau afond plat Iquipl de mat et voile qui servait aflire des excursions sur Ia riviere Saint-Franrois. Plus tard, s'ajouttrent dnq bateaux a rames aux couleurs vives et un ski[pour quatre rameurs qu'on utilisait sur Ia riviere Massawippi. II flllut finalement construire un hangar abateaux Ie long de Ia riviere pres du pont du chemin de for CPR. Les ltudiants thnbaires affictionnaient un

Athletics and The Campus newspaper, unaware of the team name used in the 3Os, to find a nickname for the University's Football team which would fire up the enthusiasm of the fans. The contest was won by George B. McClintock '49 who originally suggested « 'Garors. after the alligator which is a clough and formidable foe when aroused, capable of swift and decisive action in an emergency•• However, by using a play on words, the name spelled «Gaiters. seemed more appropriate for an Anglican College. Gaiters were an article of ecclesiastical clothing which covered part of the wearer's shoes and lower legs. These were wom by Bishops. Deans and Archdeacons as part of the clerical dress when not robed. Collection: Quebec Diosesan Archives

L'evaque Geo'3e J. Mountain, un des fondateurs de l'Universite Bishop's porte les fameuses guatres (gaiters). En 2947, un concours a ere o'3~ par Ie Comite des sports et Ie journal etudiant The Campus, dans Ie but d'attribuer d I'equipe de football de I'universite un nom qui sache genker l'enthousiasme de ses partisans. Le nom adopte par I'equipe dans les annees 30 etait passe dans I'oubli. Le concoursJut remporte par Geolle B. McClintock, qui avait Ii I'origine propose Ie nom de Gators, rappe1ant I'alligator, cun adversaire redoutable lorsqu'U passe Ii I'attaque, capable de reaction rapide et efficace en cas d'urgence Jl • Cependant, par I'intermedialre d'an jeu de mots, ce fut la graphie Gaiters qui prevalut, car eUe semblait mieux s'appliquer au contexte anglican de Bishop's. En efJet, Gaiters sipiJie cguatres., un article de toile qoi rerouvroit Ie bas de 10 jambe et Ie dessus du soulier. Ces gu8tres falsoient partie de I'habit ecclesiastique des ev6ques, diaues et arcrudiaues lorsque ceux-ci ne portaient pos I'habit de ceremonie. CoUection : Archives diocesaines de Quebec.

2. Football team c.1888 Football was played against local teams. The players were primarily unskilled students who had little training and even less practice. They played without benefit of protective equipment and as a result suffered many injuries. tquipe de football, vers 2888. On jouait au football contle les equipes locales. Les joueurs etaient surtout des etudiants pris sur Ie tas, qui ne recevaient qu'un minimum d'entrainement et pratiquaient encore moins. On jouait sans equipement de protection, ce qui occasionnait bien des bJessures.

island where the Massawippi joins the St. Francis. Here, the current was strong and caution was required of those brave enough to venture in the icy water. Sadly, two boys were drowned in the early years crossing the river by raft. A diary written in the mid·1870s by a student named Worthington indicates that skating was the most popular winter recreation. Occasionally the river was frozen solid and smooth enough to be used, although th!re were usually open areas due to the currents. Before the College provided a skating rink, the students most commonly used the Village rink located beside where the curling rink now stands. For an afternoon of fun students would walk in their usual moccasins to the rink where they stored their skates in lockers. Skates were then blades fastened to shoes, which were always cold when taken out to use.

Sports and Recreation: 1892 - 1947 In A. J. H. Richardson's account of «Life at Bishop's from 1875 to 1900», mention is made that if «one was so inclined there was golf and hunting, as well as tobogganing or snow shoeing parties offered at Pottery Hill (sometimes on moonlit nights) which were hosted by faculty members and to which «the fair sex)) was invited, the event was usually followed by a tea. Skiing was still considered a «savage sport, confined to Swiss and Norwegians (c. This list of recreational activities could be added to those of the other six clubs in existence : rugby-football, boating, hockey, tennis, cricket and racquets. The Jubilee year of 1895 brought the promise of funds to

be set aside to build a gymnasium. The building was erected on the far side of the Quad from the McGreer building. In 1897 the new gym was finished and formally opened with a skating party and a dance. The building was noted for its ccfixed climbing wall»...a wooden wall with hand holds on which users would muscle themselves up crossing between two sections on the bridge and down the other side. The equipment was used under the guidance of a Sergeant Perrin. By the following year the gym was the scene of ccmany hody contested» basketball games, which were then seen as a (cfiller)) to be played between football and hockey seasons. Even wrestling was enjoyed due to the new indoor facility.

autre sport, celui de nager flte dans Ia rivim au bout de lile pres du confluent de Ia Saint-Franfois et Ia Massawippi. Le fort courant de l'endroit posait un danger pour ceux qui avaient Ie courage de negocier ses eaux g/aciales. Malheureusement, deux jeunes gens perirent noyes lz cette epoque, tentant de traverser Ia riviere en radeau. Un journal personnel eerit dAns les annees 1870 par un etudiant du nom de Worthington indique que It patinage etait lz l'tpoque It Ioisir It plus populaire pendant l'hiver. II arrivait que Ia glace de Ia riviere soit assez epame et Ime pour quon puisse y patiner, malgre Its zones laissees libres de glace par Its courants. Avant que l'universite nait sa propre patinoire, Its etudiants se servaient d'habitude de Ia patinoire du village, qui etait situee lz l'mdroit actuel de Ia piste de curling. Pour alltr patiner, Its etudiants se rendaient sur Ie bord de Ia patinoire chausses de /turs mocassins habituel.s; les patins, entreposes au froid dans des casiers pres de Ia patinoire, etaient de simples lames fixees aux chaussures.

Sports et loisirs: 1892-1947 A. j. H. Richardson mentionne dans son volume La Vie lz Bishops entre 1875 et 1900, que «si on Ie dlsirait, on pouvait jouer au golfou alkr lz Ia chasse, ou bien participer aux parties de luge ou de raquette» offertes lz Pottery Hill (parfois lz Ia bellt etoilt). Ces parties etaient organisees par des membres du corps enseignant. On y invitait «ces dAmes», et It tout se terminait par un the. Le ski etait encore vu comme un «sport rutle, qui ne convenait quaux Suisses et aux Norvegiens». II flut donc ajouter ces activites aux six autres clubs dijlz mentionnes: rugby. aviron, hockey, tennis, cricket, et jeu de paume. Lannee jubilaire de 1895 vit Ia promesse dal/ocation d'un fonds special destine lz Ia construction d'un gymnase. Celui-ci fot erige de lautre cote du Quad (Ia cour carree) par rapport lz fldifice McGreer. En 1897, It nouveau gymnase r!cemment termine fot inaugure par une partie de patinage et un bal Le batiment etait dllbre pour son fCmur descalade» ... un mur de bois muni de points dappui pour Its mains. Les athlltes pouvaient lescalader, traverser un pont entre deux sections et redescendre de lautre cote. Tout cet !quipement !tait utilise soU! Ia surveillance d'un dlnomme Sergent Perrin. Lannee suivante, Ie gymnase fot Ie theatre de nombreux matchs de basket-ball

Cricket Team c.1890 Cricket is the oldest recorded team sport at Bishop's. Practices took place on the then much larger Butternut Island in the St. Francis River. The island was hayed every year which provided a fairly smooth field. Baseball was forbidden until the tum of the century as it was thought to be «too American». Equipe de cricket, vers 1890. Le cricket est Ie premier sport dont les annales de Bishop's fassent mention. On pratiquait autrefois sur l'ile Bunemut de la riviera St. Fran,ois, l'Ue etont al'epoque beaucoup plus grande qu'a I'heure actuene. On y faisait les foins chaque annee de fa,on II libber un terrain relativement egal. Le baseball, qu'on trauvait trap flamericain» Jut proscrit II Bishop's jusqu'au debut du siecJe.

5. Boat house near C.P.R. bridge. c.190{)'s Enthusiasm for boating lagged in the mid·1890s partly because of the low water level and from the fact that logs being driven downstream clogged the river and made boating both difficult and dangerous. Hangar II bateawc pres du pont du chemin de fer CP, au debut du sitcle. L'entbousiasme pour ce sport diminua sensiblement au milieu des annees 1890 : la secheresse avait fait baisser Ie niveau de la riviere, et Ie volume grandissant de randins qui descendaient Ie courant encombroit la riviere. 11 devenait done difficile et dangerewc de faire du bateau sur 10 Saint.Fran~is.

Once the location for the gym was determined, the University's first out-door skating rink was staked out nearby. The new rink was worked on by students during their Christmas vacation. In the winter of 1896 the first hockey games were played in the improvised rink in the quad. «Tough games were the rule and the ice was often steeped in the gore of our players», recorded one student, «while black eyes and small wounds were the rule rather than the exception». The game of «Shinny» (road- hockey) came into fashion for a while at this time and was played when the weather became too disagreeable to play football. An article in The Mitre notes however that the «students' enthusiasm for the game died quickly when the Principal appointed himself referee and became unpopular for his autocratic decisions, which included making all games end in a draw».

Curling Curling was introduced in 1898 and was explained as «a game that must be seen to be comprehended». The curling rink in Lennoxville was used and the students played matches against the Sherbrooke Club. There was a concern that some hockey players would turn to curling because there was «no wayward puck to spoil the classic features of the player». Cricket continued to be played however, and soon after the turn of the century baseball was allowed and a diamond was laid out. It is also recorded that ping-pong was played with «a great deal of enthusiasm and energy.» The enrolment of women at Bishop's after the turn of the century encouraged the growth of athletic teams and soon there was a ladies' basketball team. Womens' involvement in sporting activities expanded to include golf, badminton and hockey. Continued strides in athletic recognition for the College were marked by the building of a covered skating rink due to the perseverance of Principal McGreer. The rink was claimed to be the best in the province. Bishop's could further boast that in 1928, 70% of males registered at the College were playing rugby-football and that Searth field (now the Optimist's Park) had been plowed and would be ready for practice in the fall.

Ce sport etait considire comme un «intmnede» entre les saisons de football et de hockey. On mentionne que ce batiment permettait meme Ia tenue de matchs de lutte. Une fois quon ait decide de lemplacement du gymnase, on se mit a!'installation dune patinoire non loin de Ill. Ce sont des etudiants eux-memes qui len chargerent pendant leur conge de Noel Pendant l'hiver de 1896, les premiers matchs de hockey formt livres sur Ia patinoire improvisee du Quad. «Cetait toujours violent, et Ia glace etait sou vent maculle du sang de nos joueurs,» ecrivait un etudiant de l'epoque. «Les yewe poches et les petites blessures etaient Ia regie plutot que l'exception,» ajoutait-il Le jeu de Shinny (hockey-macadam) devint aIa mode acette epoque. On y jouait quand if commenfait afoire trop froid pour Ie football. Un article du The Mitre note que «I'enthousiasme desitudiants baissa vite Iorsque Ie principal se nomma arbitre et commenfa aexercer un controle tyrannique. II allait meme jusqua triger que chaque rencontre se tmnine par un match nul» Ie curling Le curlingfot introduit aBishop's en 1898, presentl comme «un jeu qUII fout voir pour Ie comprendre.» On utilisait Ia glace de Lennoxville. les etudiants jouant contre les membres du club de Sherbrooke. Un peu apres Ie debut du siecle. Ie baseball fit son entree aluniversitl et on tr~a un terrain de baseball sur Ie campus. On note aussi que Ie ping-pong avait des adeptes enthousiastes. Larrivee de femmes parmi les etudiants de Bishop's favonsa Ia croissance des equipes de sport; une equipe fbninine de basket-ball se forma rapidement. Les femmes se tournerent egalement vers dautres sports. tels que Ie golf. Ie badminton et Ie hockey. La reputation sportive de luniversitl grandit avec Ia construction d'un arena. grace aux efforts et al'lnergie du principal M McGreer. La patinoire avait Ia reputation detre Ia meilleure de Ia province. Bishop's pouvait aussi senorgueillir du foit que. en 1928. 70% de ses ltudiants males jouaient au rugby. et quon avait laboure Scarth Field (actuelfement Ie parc Optimiste) pour en faire un terrain. qui serait prh alautomne.

His store se"ed as a sort of tuck shop for students, selling candy and noteboob. Les joueurs avaient la chance de disposer d'une abondance de batons de hockey par l'interm6diaire de Marie Bennett, qui tenait un magasin juste de I'aulre c616 de la riviate vers Lennomne.

In 1938 the Athletic Committee was established to deal with the business derails and management of all organized athletics in which the University took part. This same year the Ski Club had skiing acknowledged as a competitive sport. Meets were held at the new Hillcrest ski area in North Hatley against members from the North Hatley Connaughr Ski Club and Bishop's College School. Finally in 1939 the Committee succeeded in having Bishop's recognized as a member in the Canadian Intercollegiate Athletic Union, the C.I.A. U., a forerunner to the current day interuniversity C.I.A.U. established in 1961. The Athletic Committee is credired with sreering sports at Bishop's through the war years. Besides directing and supervising athletic activities, the Committee had the responsibility of keeping sports alive despite the time and energy students needed to put into training with the C.O.r.e. In 1942, intercollegiate athletic competitions were suspended for the duration of the war. In 1944 hockey suffered a blow when the rink burned to the ground. The war situation did not have an altogether negative effect on athletics at Bishop's since it encouraged minor and individual sports, such as badminton, skiing, bowling, ping-pong and track to become more popular. Enthusiasm for these sports could also be credited to the fact that mixed teams of men and women were organized. In 1947 the intercollegiate playing schedule was resumed. Football entered a league with Loyola, MacDonald, McGill and Dawson. Basketball, under the coaching of Doug McVie had a most successful year finishing second in the league. Hockey continued to suffer because ofinadequate ice facilities, but the badminton team played in the St. Francis Valley Badminton League while the ski team, known as the «Snow Dusters», sent members to compete at Mt. Orford and to the first intercollegiate ski meet in St. Sauveur.

Sports and Recreation 1948 - 1993 In 1948 the purple and white brought home the St. Francis Valley Badminton Championship and that same year, Bishop's ski team gave an outstanding performance at the Canadian Intercollegiate Ski Union meet held at Hillcrest near North Hatley. Competitive sports at Bishop's were gaining more atten-

En 1938, Ie Comite des sports fot cree pour regler les details administratifi et la gestion des rencontres sportives auxquelles Bishop's participait. Gette mbne annee, Ie club de ski parvint afoire reconnaitre Ie ski comme sport de competition. On organisa des rencontres ala piste Hillcrest de North Hatley contre les membres du club de ski Connaught de North Hatley, et contre Bishop's College School En 1939, Ie Comitl des sports reussit a foire admettre Bishop's au sein du Canadian Intercollegiate Athletic Union, Ie C.IA. u., ancetre de l'association actuelle etablie en 1961. Ie Comitl des sports eut Ie mtrite de permettre aux sports universitaires de survivre la ptriode de la guerre, malgrl Ie temps et l'!nergie que les etudiants devaient consentir au cours de formation des o./ficiers. En 1942, les competitions sportives entre les universites forent suspendues jusqua la fin de la guerre. En 1944, Ie hockey sou./ftit un autre recul,' l'arlna fot detruit dans un incendie. II fout cependant admettre que la guerre n'eut pas que des effets negatifi sur les sports a Bishop's; elle fovorisa Ie developpement de sports individuels tels que Ie badminton, Ie ski, les quilles, Ie ping-pong et l'athlltisme. On doit aussi une partie de l'engouement pour ces sports au foit qu on organisa des Iquipes mixtes. En 1947, les competitions entre universitls reprirent. Lequipe de football se joignit aune ligue regroupant Loyola, MacDona!tJ, McGill et Dawson. Lequipe de basket-ball menee par son entraineur Doug McVie se distingua en finissant dtuxieme de sa ligue. Ie hockey continuait de souffiir de son manque d'arhza, tandis que l'Iquipe de badminton jouait dans la ligue de badminton de la vallie Saint-Franfois. Lequipe de ski, quant aelle, qui avait pris Ie nom de Snow Dusters, envoyait de ses membres en competition au Mont Orford et ala premiere rencontre intercolllgiale de ski aSaint-Sauveur.

10. Hockey Team, 1901. Wearing new authorized uniforms. The authorized uniform for hockey, foothall and baseball consisted of stockings with alternate purple and white one and one half inch stripes, white jerseys and sweaters with purple trimmings, and white knee pants. Cricket and tennis required white trousers with a soft white shirt and white felt hat. The cricket uniform added a purple sash and dark blue blazer trimmed with white cord. All members of the Athletic Association were entitled to wear a white flannel cap with a purple mitre stitched on. At this same time, tbe purple .BIt came into use as well as Roman numerals indicating the wearer was a member of the starting line for that particular sport, only those players were allowed to wear the distinctive marks oftheir team's position. Equipe de hockey, 1901. Les joueurs portent les nouveaux uniformes officiels.

L'uniforme officiel des equipes de hockey, footban et baseball consistait de bas arayures violettes et blanes de un pouce et demi de lfJ18eur, de chandalls blancs agarniture violette, et de pantalons aux 8enoux blanes. Pour Ie cricket et Ie tennis, Ie pantalon blanc, chemise Jloue blanche et casquette de feutre blanc etaient de rigueur. L'uniforme de cridet y ajoutait une lfJ18e ceinture violette et une veste bleu fance 8ame de cordon blanc. Tous les membres de l'Association sportive avaient Ie droit de porter une casquette de JlaneJle blanche 8arnie d'one mitre brodee de fi1 violet.

cion and the end of this partirular decade saw more interest in the teams having individual managers and experienced coaches. The 50s brought about a boost for sports at Bishop's with the addition of a new gymnasium, which was soon in constant use as athletic activity began to playa major role in the daily life of many Bishop's students. An Athletic Director was hired to oversee the expanding sports programme. One of the Athletic Director's first initiatives was to introduce intra-mural sports which took the place of Inter-year competitions. This provided both male and female students with the opportunity to take part in a greater number of athletic activities. The introduction of this programme was enthusiastically received by those students not interested in playing major athletics at Bishop's. In the following years golf and track were added and most recendy, volleyball. It is estimated that at one time seventy-five per cent of the student body took part in some type of intra-mural sport. Interest and involvement in intra-mural Athletics has continued to grow, and the remarkable spirit and eagerness of contestants has m~de the programme an overwhelming success. Garth Smith who had previously been hired as a coach took over the job of Director of Athletics for the Athletics Society. He provided the energy and resourcefulness the teams needed to increase their ranking. Particular emphasis was put on golf and basketball. Under Garth's coaching, Bishop's gained golfing recognition in 1955 when it hosted the Ottawa-St. Lawrence Valley Intercollegiate Golf Tournament which was being held for the first time. Bishop's came third behind Loyola and McGill.

Athletics Board Formed Yet another reorganization came for sports when an Athletics Board was formed in the early 60s to make major decisions on Athletics. It also took over financial control from the Athletics Society. Two other big changes occurred at about this same time. The Athletics Board hired Bruce Coulter as Athletics Director with the hope of developing the football programme, and the long awaited W. B Scott Arena opened, providing Bishop's with artificial ice. All of these changes would have a lasting impact on sports and student life

1897 when professors from the College and the School were granted permission to use a pasture and a field within walking distance of the campus buildings as a «Golf Links•• A clubhouse was soon erected and the COtme took the name of the SI. Francis Golf Club, later changed to the LennoxviUe Golf Club. The original clubhouse seen here burned in the early 20s and was replaced by a pump house donated by the Town of Lennoxville. In the 19705, under the direction of Garth Smith, the University undertook to build a new clubhouse and improve the greens. The present day golf club is comprised of 45 acres. Last year the clubhouse underwent an expansion making it a comfortable site for receptions and entertaining. On commen,a a jouer au golf iJ Bishop's en 1897.

at the University. Added to this. Bruce's involvement in the founding of the current day Canadian Inter-University Athletic Union (C.I.A.U.) would further instill in Bishop's players the feeling of being part of a bigger spnrts picture.

Minor sports continued to thrive. Curling became more popular and boasted over sixty participating students. Ice arne was secured at several rinks in close proximity to Bishop's and the school won the Inter-Varsity Curling Championship in 1962. Other bonspiels were played against reams from Sherbrooke and the surrounding area. The annual road races for the McGreer Shield and the Dunn Cup were run with great emhusiam and continue ro be run today. Badminton. volleyball. rine-shooting. golf and rennis along with the major sports of soccer. football. hockey and basketball rounded our the sports programme. The early 70s saw the emergence of the Quebec University Athletic Assocation which allowed English andlor French language orienred Universities to play against each other. The advantage of this league was that our-of-province travel was nOt necessary which saved Bishop's money on travel and accommodations. A (mal of rwelve universities

and colleges provided strong competition which continues to this day.

John H. Price Sports Centre The student population began to expand when the CEGEP system was introduced in Quebec and Champlain Regional College took up residence on Campus. Thankfully the John H. Price Sports Centre opened in 1975 offering students access to a swimming pnol. double gymnasia. squash courts, weight training facilities, dance studio. a COffibarives room and ream rooms. \'(fomen's sports continued to flourish generating the popular ,Vestal Virgin,. field hockey team. a soccer ream and the Polar Bears hockey ream.

About rhis same rime rhe University reclaimed rhe Lennoxville Golf Course from rhe rown and undertook rhe building of a new club house, Under rhe direcrion of Garth Smith membership grew as the greens improved, The revitalized club thrived and under-went another expansion and face lift in 1992-93, and rhe club-house is now a comfortable site for University receptions and emerraining. [n the 1980s some sports rose in popularity such as men's and women's rugby, skiing and volleyball, while other sports such as hockey and riAe-shooting died, An impressive list of championships were won by Bishop's including the Lady Gaiters Basketball National Championships, the Ontario Quebec Intercollegiate Football Conference Championships in '82 and '83; rhe C.I.A,U, football Semi Finals in '71, '86, '88, and '90; and the men's Provincial rugby Championships in '92 and '93, and the men's provincial basketball championship in '88. In 1988, Bruce Coulrer suggested rhar a ,Wall of Distinctionll be installed to honor individuals who have played a major role in sportS ar Bishop's eirher as an athlete, a coach or an avid supporter of Bishop's University's arhletic programme.This visual tribute was realized in 1991 under the current Arhletics Director, Tom Allen. Recipients of rhis award are chosen by delegares from rhe Alumni Office and the Department of Athletics from a list of nominees. Bishop's success in rhe field of athletics is a tesrimony ro the enthusiasm of its athleres, and ro rhe suppOrt of the Student body, administration, alumni and friends of the University. ~

Early History, 1850 - 1920 The earliest hisrory of the Bishop's Dramatics Socie'Y is obscure but we know that drama is one of the oldest of the many traditions of the Universi'Y and it has flourished for well over a hundred years. Early issues of The Mitre as well as diaries and lcuers from alumni attest ro this. There are references to «many dramatic performances)! being held as

early as the 1850s. One of the first direct descriptions of a play is in an article by the Reverend E G. SCOtt entirled ,College Memories., which appeared in the 1935 Mitte. In it he refers ro a play in 1881 in which the men had ro play all the parts and he commented that he ' never saw such a bunch of hideous imitation females as were the ladies in the performance.. It was apparencly a success, however, for it was followed by ,The Hunchback. the next year, with another distinguished alumnus, G. Abbott Smith, in the tide role.

members and thus drama was firmly entrenched as an important part of the students' extra-curricular life. By the early 1900s the Bishop's players had achieved a reputation for good amateur drama, and in 1907 took on the challenge of a more demanding three-act play, «She Stoops to Conquen). For the first time the students rented the Clement Theatre in Sherbrooke {which later became His MajestYs}. It was by far the best production Bishop's had ever staged and caused quite a stir in the area. It happened that the Drama Critic of the New York Herald was in the vicinity and attended the performance. He not only commented favourably on the playas a whole but said that the «Tavern Scene was exceptionally well done». This heady success was followed by Sheridan's «The Rivals», which was also performed by invitation at the Auditorium in Quebec City. It was under the patronage of the Lieutenant Governor and we are told that he was seated in the Royal Box which was draped in the purple and white Bishops colours for the occasion. During World War I the students had to curtail their activities to save expense, so once again they used the small parish hall and had to sacrifice scenery, props and costumes except for those their ingenuity could provide. It kept the Dramatic Club alive and even made a profit which went to the Red Cross.

Theatre 1920 - 1993 It took some time for university life to return to normal after the war, but by 1920 plays were once again being staged in His MajestYs Theatre. A new Dean of Divinity, the Reverend R. Rocksborough-Smith brought new energy and enthusiasm to the Society as its Honorary President. His wife was also interested in dramatics and was a character actress of great popularity. She played leading roles in several of the plays he directed until he was appointed Bishop of Algoma in 1927 after only a few years at Bishop's. The play chosen for that year was «Green Stockings) and Arthur Speid returned as director for several years. He was well known to the Bishop's students as actor, director and advisor since his student days before the war.

Au debut de ce siecle, Ia troupe de theatre de Bishop's acquit une solide reputation au niveau amateur, et en 1907, its s'attaquerent It une piece en trois actes plus diffidle, «Elle s'abaisse pour vaincre». Pour Ia premiere fois, il fallut louer Ie theatre Clhnent de Sherbrooke (theatre qui devint plus tard His Majesty's). Cette piece dtpassait de loin Ia qualite de tout ce qui avait ete presente auparavant It Bishop's, et elle eut un tres gros succes dans Ia region. II se trouva meme que le critique dramatique du New ~rk Herald etait dans les parages It ce momentla, et qUII assista It Ia representation. Non seulement fit-il des commentaires favorables sur l'ensemble de Ia piece, mais it remarqua egalement que «Ia scene de taverne etait particulierement bien rlussie.» Ct succes sans preeldent mena ensuite It Ia representation de Ia piece de Sheridan «us Rivaux».

I~ ~ 929 it was decided to move on to something more amblOous and the students mounted a production of Bernard Shaw's «You Never Can Tell» in the Clement Theatre which marked a turning point in Bishop's drama. It was directed by Mr. Speid and was a resounding success. It received an excellent review from The Montreal Star's distinguished drama critic, S. Morgan-Powell, who suggested that this promising talent merited «the establishment of a drama department and a theatre with a workshop where students could learn all facets of theatre art)).

The university had no funds for such a project at that time nor was it convinced of its viability. There were some who considered drama to be merely a frivolous extra-curricular occupation on the students' part. The first step was therefore taken by the students themselves and this was the temporary conversion of the original gymnasium (now Bandeen Hall) into a theatre. Asectional stage was designed made up of folding units which could be easily dismantled and set up again when required. There were certain drawbacks such as the fact that the only access to the backstage are~ was by means of a ladder to a small window through which the actors had to crawl head first, assisted by the stage crew inside. Also the dressing-rooms were situated across the Quad in the New Arts Building which meant a 100-yard dash between scenes. Despite these small inconveniences the «Little Theatre» thrived for seventeen years. The first major play to be staged in the «Little Theatre» was «The Dover Road» by A. A. Milne, and its success proved that the small stage was indeed more suitable for their needs than the rented theatre which was inconvenient as well as expensive. Perhaps the most memorable of the many plays that were staged in the «Little Theatre» was the first Bishop's performance of a Shakespeare play in 1936. <cAs You Like It» was directed by the Reverend Philip Carrington {later Bishop of Quebec}. There was criticism and foreboding over the choice of play because of the difficulties of manoeuvering a cast of thirty on the small stage, not to mention the awkward stage entrance, but the Society overrode the objections and Dean Carrington took on the daunting task of directing. He also found time to paint all the scenery - over three hundred

homme de theatre depuis les annees qUII y avait passees comme etudiant avant la guerre. En 1929, on decida de se lancer dans une entreprise d'envergure en presentant la piece de Bernard Shaw «You Never Can Tell» au theatre Clhnent. Ce spectacle, sous fa direction de M Speid, connut un sueees sans prlcedent et fot loeemion dun nouveau depart pour Ie theatre a Bishop's. La piece refUt les commentaires elogieux de leminent critique du The Montreal Star S. Morgan-Powelk celui-ci !tait davis quun tel talent mhitait «la creation dun departement de theatre et d'un theatre muni dun atelier, afin que Ies etudiants puissent apprendre tous les mpects de lart dramatique.» Luniversitl navait pm dargent pour une telle entreprise a ltpoque, et elle n'ttait dailleurs pas convaincue quun pmjet comme celui-Ill soit viable. Plusieurs consideraient par ailleurs Ie theatre comme une activitl para-scolaire fiivole pour les etudiants. C'est donc ces demiers qui prirent les devants et convertirent temporairement Ie premier gymnase (actuelkment Bandeen HalO en theatre. On construisit une scene composee de sections stparees pliantes qui pouvaient etre facilement monties et demontles selon les besoins. II subsistait cependant des inconvlnients: Ie seul aeees aux coulisses, par exemple, !tait une echelk menant aune petite fenetre que les acteurs ne pouvaient franchir que la tete /a premiere, avec laide des assistants techniques! Dautre part, les loges des acteurs etaient situees de lautre cotl de la cour dans le nouvel edifice des arts - ce qui necessitait un sprint de cent metres entre les scenes. Malgre ces quelques probltmes, Ie «Petit theatre» flnctionna tres bien pendant 17 ans. La premiere piece majeure presentee au «Petit theatre» fot «The Dover Road», de A. A. Milne.

square feet altOgether. The whole production ran with almosr professional smoothness and was presented for four

nights to delighted audiences, which silenced all the doubting Thomases. During World War 11 (J 939 - 1946) a rerired actOr, Mr. Dickson·Kenwin from Montreal, agreed to direct the major plays while the students continued to produce the three oneact plays in a search for new talent. It was a difficulr time as rhe enrolment dropped sharply, bur enough young actors were found each year so the continuity of the Dramatics Society was never imerrupred. From 1947 to 1950 Lewis Evans, rhe Director of Drama at Bishop's College School, took over the direction of the Universiry's major play. «Our Town» was the last ro be sraged in the ,Litrle Theatre, because the building was to become [he dining hall for nvo new residences. At the same time, the Memorial gymnasium was built with a larger stage and dressing room facilities, and during the transition twO

plays were produced by Mr. Evans on the B.C.S. stage. In 1950 Arthur Moryer joined the English Department. He had considerable experience in drama, both as an actor and direcror, and under his guidance the Dramatics Socicry entered an exciting and productive period which culminated

seventeen years later in the building of the Centennial Theatre. Soon after his arrival, a one-act play he had written was the choice for the Drama Festival and won second

place, while the student who played one of the leading roles received the Best Actress award. This was an auspicious Start to a new era.

The first major play to be performed on the stage of the Memorial Gymnasium was "The Importance of Being Earnest' in 1951. While the stage was much larger than that of the (Li ttle Theatre)) it was still in a gymnasium so there were the usual difficulties with acoustics and lighting as well as lack of backstage space for the stage crews to do their work. Again the students accepted the challenges and produced many excellent plays which were well reviewed in Montreal as well as local papers. A notable one was "The Diary of Anne Frank> {with a superb set}. It was also played in Quebec Ciry by invitation. In 1968 a one-act play, "The

Sport of My Mad Mother», won the Canadian University Drama League award for the best play, and the cast went on to give a performance in New York. Serious planning on the building of a theatre began in the fifties. After visiting many university theatres in Canada and the u.s. Professor Motyer submitted a design to the Building Committee to be discussed with the architects. Altogether it took twelve years ofplanning before Centennial Theatre opened its doors in January 1967 to a week of jubilant celebration. The years following the opening have seen many spectacular plays done on the Centennial stage. During the seventies the Bishop's facilities were being used winter and summer. For ten years Festival Lennoxville brought fine professional theatre to the Townships in the summer. There were also exciting projects like the Quebec Ete Danse group which was here for several consecutive seasons, and for the last two years Centennial Theatre has been the headquarters for the World Youth Orchestra during its concert tours. In 1971 the University introduced a new program of Dramatic Arts and Literature leading to a degree. Drama had come of age, exactly forty-eight years a&er Mr. MorganPowell first suggested that Bishop's should have a theatre and a Drama Department! In 1989 a smaller Studio Theatre was added for experimental drama and plays requiring a small area for closer rapport with the audience. In 1991 the University, in collaboration with the Quebec Ministry of Cultural Affairs, undertook extensive renovations to the lobby of Centennial Theatre to make a formal reception area and an enlarged box office. Theatre administration offices were added, and also an Artists' Centre which included an Art Gallery. These facilities were inaugurated in 1992 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony presided over by Mme. Monique Gagnon-Tremblay, M.N.A. for SaintFran~is riding, Dr. Hugh Scott, Principal of Bishop's University and the Mayor of Lennoxville, Mr. Duncan Bruce. Throughout the eighties and nineties Bishop's has continued to add to its laurels in the field of drama. One of the most recent awards was for a play by a drama student Lainey Baites entided «Mere Mortality». This play was chosen one of the winners of the «Write On The Edge Festival» in

Montreal in March 1993. The festival is for student written work across Quebec. The many programs now offered in all facets of the theatre and the sophistication of the facilities are a far cry &om the humble beginnings of the enthusiastic little Dramatic Club performing in the Town Hall before the turn of the century. However, all this might not have been possible had it not been for the dedicated people through the years who believed in striving for excellence in amateur drama and thus paved the way for the advancement of university theatre to the high standard of today. ~

- William M. Curran Although the University was steeped in the so-called British and Anglican tradition, North American inAuences had a profound impact on student life at Bishop's. From the very beginning, Campus life included student government, mock parliaments, debates, social activities such as wimer carnivals. dances, plays, sports and other recreational activities designed to suit everyone. As early as 1847, student associations were formed

encourage «sound learn ing. and

enhance the quality of student life. Most noteworthy among these were: the Quintilian, a literary and debating club; the Reading Room Association which sponsored concerts and classical readings; the Harrold Association, a theological society; the Churchwarden's Club; and the Guild of the Venerable Bede. An Alumni Association was formed in 1867 and in 1890 a Lyric Club and Glee Club were part of campus life. In 1893 The Mitre was launched. This impressive literary review has been published on a yearly basis over the last cenmry, an accomplishment few Canadian universities can match. Other events such as the Stigma protest of 1890, the studems' protest against the cuning down of trees on campus at the turn of the century and the referendum to discontinue wearing gowns in the 1970s are examples of eventfu l occurrences in Bishop's history. In the I%Os, the students managed to disperse FLQ supporters set to march on campus when they infiltrated the group and gave ,he Bishop's .yell •.

Dances

-Janet Speid Motyer

-Janet SpeiJ Moly"

Three years after Bishop's was founded, Bishop Mountain and the Principal, Jasper Nicolls, had an earnest discussion on whether it was (cseemly to tolerate dancing». They decided that it was not, and the Bishop wrote «that if our students go to dances it will offend the prejudices of weak brethren and so hurt the University». We do not know exactly how long it was before the authorities softened their attitude but we have accounts of students attending dances in Sherbrooke and Lennoxville in the 1880s. To get to Sherbrooke they rented sleighs or buggies from Hawes' livery stable in the village. Frequently they came back after hours and had to enter by a window, having arranged before-hand that one would be unlatched in case of this eventuality. It is interesting to note that the first entry in the first Minute Book of Student Meetings in 1892 was to consider the possibility of giving a Ball before Lent. A Motion to have it was passed unanimously! There were frequent references throughout the next few years to Dance Committees being elected, but because there were so few students they had to canvass everyone for a donation to make sure of having 100% support so they could finance it. Fifty cents per student was considered a fair donation. The earliest dances were held in the dining hall. By the 1920s and into the thirties and forties dances were held on campus throughout the year. There was an Introduction Dance given for the freshmen, tea dances after all home football games and e.O.T.C. dances several times a year. These took place in the old gymnasium (now Bandeen) or occasionally in Bishop Williams Hall. There

The Winter Carnival was for a while a very important part of student life. It started in a small way in the postWorld War II years with activities ranging from snow sculpture competitions and a day of skiing at Hillcrest near North Hatley to a variery of special events including the crowning of a Carnival Queen and a Carnival Ball. The "Rink Night, had changing programs from year to year and for three seasons a group of figure skaters called the Carnabelles held the spotlight. They were invited to perform at the McGill

political satire called "The Grate Escape. (sic). Student singers, dancers and orchestra made it a smash hie. Buoyed

by this success, rhe same people undertook a three-act show the next year called "The Eskimos Who Came in from the Cold. . The recordings of these are now prized collectors' Item s.

The purpose of the Society was to promote and supervise all women's accivities sponsored by the Students' Associacion. All women entering the University auromaticaJiy became members of the Society and elected their representatives each year for their Executive. The Athletics Representative directed all women's sports such as the Bishop's Basketball Team and intra-mural games such as floor hockey, ice hockey, volleyball and badminton. The Society handled social events including the Seniors' Tea held in the Spting and the annual Sadie Hawkins dance. The Society continued to look after women's interesrs until a few years after the second residence for women

Yearly meetings were held and as the Association grew, members provided financial suppOrt for the Universiry, helping ro fund construction on campus (for example the Bishop Williams Wing of the School building in 1888), establishing endowments for scholarships and supporting student activities. By 1906 the Alumni Association had 33 members who paid a membership fee of S1. The Association was made up exclusively of men but, as more women graduated from the University, an Alumnae Association was fo rmed. Each kept

interest In 1952 the amalgamation of the two groups was approved. Cecil T. Teakle (Class of '26) became President of the Association in 1948, and for the next 12 years he led the Association through a number of important changes. Alumni branches were organized, an Alumni Newsletter was established, Convocation was changed from Thursday to Saturday so that alumni could attend, and the Alumni Annual Giving programme was introduced. Today , new alumni branches have sprung up across the country and around the globe, and the Alumni Association is a dynamic part of the University community.

The first record of a dining room was of one adjacent to the Common Room in the original College, which was a section of Cushing's Country Store at the corner of Queen and College Streets in Lennoxville. In the Principal's words, «The dining room had one long table of decently planed boards and all our furniture was in keeping - 'planed boards:» However the dining room was «sufficiently large» and overlooked a garden. The room also served as a chapel. In 1849 breakfast was at 8:00 following chapel and dinner was at 1:00. The 1856 Proceedings of the College Council record a requirement that «Those who desire to have beer at dinner be requested to communicate their wishes to the Principal in order that such arrangements may be made as may appear to be necessary.» Meals were served at long tables where undergraduates were required to remain standing until the Principal or Rector said grace in Latin. Another grace was said at the end of the meal. Even from earliest times students complained about the food: «The desserts were named Resurrection, Samson and Mystery. Often students recognized some of their leavings from previous meals, -hence 'Resurrection'. Samson was a sort of round pudding served in slices, strong and hard to cut Soup was of course dishwater and served only once a week.» In 1890 there occurred a protest against living conditions

Selon les paroles du principal de ltpoque, «Ia salk amanger ltait equipee dune longue table [aite de planches convenablement rabotles, et de meubles assortis - des planches rabotees.» La salle amanger !tait cependant «de taille suffisante», et elle donnait sur un jardin. La piece servait egalement de chapelle. En 1849, on servait Ie dljeuner a8 heures apres l'office, le repas du midi etant prlvu a13 heures. Un proces-verbal dune reunion du Conseil du college en 1856 prlcise que «ceux qui dlsirent de Ia biere aux repas doivent en fairt Ia dtmantle au principal, afin qu'on puisse prendrt Ies mesures necessaires.» On servait des repas sur de longues tables. Les ltudiants devaient rester debout jusqua ce que Ie principal ou Ie recteur ait prononce en latin Ia flrmule de benediction. On redisait les graces aIa fin du repast Des les debuts, les etudiants eurent fort aredire sur Ia nourriture : «On surnommait Ies desserts «Resurrection», «Samson», et «Mystere». Les etudiants reconnaissaient sou vent des rtstes de repas precedents - d'ou lappellation «Resurrection». «Samson» Itait une som de pudding rond servi en tranches, dur et difficile acouper.

Evenements speciaux Bishop's University Harvester Trip - 1942

Bishops participe afa moisson de 1942

By the autumn of 1942 so many Westerners had joined the armed forces that the harvesting of the wheat crop was endangered. Bishop's responded to an appeal for help from eastern Canada by sending almost all its male undergraduates out west. The University was dosed for six weeks from October 10 to November 4 and the harvesters were escorted to the prairies by Professor Eric H. Yarrill, Department of Modern Languages. The group left Lennoxville by rail. They were provided with free transportation to Regina (the fare then was $15.00 for a return ticket) and free room and board. The pay ranged from $4.00 to $8.00 per day depending upon one's ability to operate farm equipment. Professor Yarrill wrote that «Bishop's contributed wholeheartedly and effectively to solving a serious wartime problem and the proportion of those students who participated outstripped that of any other institution.» In a letter to parents of students dated October 26th, 1942, Principal McGreer reported that «from an outside source I have learned that our students impressed the officials at Regina as a body of young men who appreciate the value of discipline. It is gratifying to know that though most of our men are unaccustomed to such work, they are giving a good account of themselves, as we anticipated.»

Lorsquarriva l'automne de 1942, tant d'hommes s'ltaient engages dans les forces armees que la r!colte de bli devenait problhnatique dans les provinces de I'Ouest. On fit alors appel al'Est du CanadtJ. Bishop's ripondit en envoyant presque taus ses etudiants masculins travailler a la moisson. L'universitl cessa ses activitls pendant six semaines entre Ie 10 octobre et Ie 4 novembre, et Ie proftsseur Eric H Yarri/J, Dipartemmt de langues modernes, se vit accompagner les moissonneurs dans les Prairies. Ie groupe quitta Lennoxville par chemin de for. Les moissonneurs ltaient transportls gratuitemmt jusqua Rtgi11ll (It voyage aller-retour cofJt4it alors 15$); on leur offrait en outre la pension complete. Les salaires variaient de 4$ a 8$ par jour, suivant les capadtls des individus pour opber I'lquipement agricole. Le proftsseur YarriO note que «Bishop's contribua avec enthousiasme et efficacitl ala solution d'un problnne sbieux dfJ a la flJme. La proportion d'ltudiants qui ripondirent al'appel dut flJpasser de loin la performance de tous Ies autres itablissDnents.» Dans une lettre aux parents de ces ltudiants datfe 26 octobre, le principal M McGreer, affirmait que «une source exttrne m'apprend que nos ltudiants ont impressionnl les autoritls de Regina par leur sens de /a discipline. II est r!confortant de savoir que, malgre leur peu d'experience pour un tel travail nos etudiants font bonne impression, com me on sy attendait de leur part.»

The opening of Centennial Theatre in 1967 was one of the most colourful events ever held at Bishop's. A Special Convocation took place on January 14 and the ceremony was presided over by the Lieutenant Governor of Quebec, The Hon. Hugues Lapointe, who officially opened the Theatre. Six prominent Canadians representing the Arts received Honorary Doctorates from the University: Jean Gascon, Artistic Director of the Stratford Festival; Robertson Davies, Master of Massey College, University of Toronto, publisher, critic and teacher; A.J.M. Smith, Poet-in-Residence at Michigan State University; Jon Vickers, renowned operatic tenor; Celia Franca, Artistic Director of the National Ballet; Guy Roberge, former Chairman of the National Film Board. That weekend there were dinners, concerts and a symposium on the Arts. The celebrations continued into the following week with concerts, musical and dramatic programs and short films. A recital of modern dances by the Erick Hawkins Dance Company concluded the week long festivities. Throughout the week an exhibition of contemporary work by Canadian artists took place in Studio One of the Theatre.

Pomu tk Ralph Gustafson I Mis en musiqut par Ricbartl Amell

On March 12, 1970 a multi·media event took place in Centennial Theatre as part of the Bishop's Art and Music Festival. It consisted of a poem commemorating the invasion of Czechoslovakia, written by Bishop's poet.in.residence and one of Canada's most eminent poets, Ralph Gustafson. The work was set to music by Richard Arnell, an Honorary Fellow of Trinity College of Music in London. Richard Arnell directed the overall production and his music featured wind instruments, a choral group, a rock group and a background of film clips of the invasion. The poem was narrated by Ralph Gustafson, with electronic music by Jon Appleton. Bishop's students, under the direction of Professor Howard Brown, head of the Bishop's Music Department, were able to give a very impressive performance despite hav· ing little rehearsal time. The presentation was subsequently described as «a tremendous artistic achievement and one of the proudest moments for Centennial Theatre».

Duke of Edinburgh Visits Bishop's University His Royal Highness the Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh visited Canada from May 18 to 21, 1989. Bishop's University was one of the official stops on the itinerary which focussed upon the 75th anniversary of the United Empire Loyalists Association of Canada. On Sunday, May 21 at Bishop's University His Royal Highness unveiled a plaque which commemorates the designation of St. Mark's Chapel (I857) as a historical monument After signing the Golden Book of Bishop's University, Prince Philip planted a butternut sapling (an endangered species in the Eastern Townships) on the shore of the Massawippi River to symbolize the University's commitment to the establishment of an arboretum and wildlife reserve.

.... :

In 1939 the University of Bishop's College, as it was known at that time, was indirectly involved in another royal visit, that of King George VI. His Majesty visited the Eastern Townships' «Queen City» with Queen Elizabeth, {now the Queen Mother}, was driven through the streets of Sherbrooke between 11:50 am and 12:30 pm. after which they boarded the Royal Train bound for the Maritimes. This tight schedule did not allow for a prolonged visit, but the University did present greetings in the form of an illuminated scroll. It read: «To His Gracious Majesty, The King: May it please your Majesty: The University of Bishop's College at Lennoxville, in the Province of Quebec, humbly begs to proffer most Loyal Greetings to His Majesty our Most Gracious Sovereign Lord King George VI and to Her Majesty our Gracious Queen Elizabeth.» This distinguished document was signed by the Chancellor RAE. Greenshields and Principal A.H. McGreer, dated Lennoxville, June the Twelfth, Nineteen hundred and thirty-nine. ~
