STEWARDSHIP REPORT 2018/19

STEWARDSHIP REPORT April 1, 2018 – March 31, 2019

DONOR ROLL

LATELY I HAVE BEEN thinking about what it must have been like for King’s students, faculty, staff and alumni between the 1920 fire in Windsor and the formal reopening of King’s in Halifax in 1930. This decade had many challenges for daily institutional life, but it was also punctuated by fresh possibility, imagined futures and the eventual decision to become a College defined by its association with Dalhousie. One hundred years on from that new beginning, it is now time to provide for the College’s next hundred years at a time when our missions in the humanities, journalism and the fine art of writing are more salient to the world’s situation than ever before. Then as now, our mission is funding dependent. This Stewardship Report covers philanthropic gifts to King’s during fiscal year 2018-19, the same year the province increased our annual operating grant by $2.2 million. Together with your generous giving, this represents a tremendous vote of confidence in the importance of King’s and its future. During the decade before us, and with your continued assistance, we must build on this confidence by securing the College’s future for the century to come.

To the alumni, parents, faculty, staff, students and friends recognized on the following pages, your giving enhances the exceptional educational journey our students enjoy, and for this we thank you.

William Lahey President and Vice-Chancellor

ENCAENIA 2019

CONGRATULATIONS CLASS OF 2019

On Thursday, May 23, 2019, King’s held its 230th Encaenia at Dalhousie’s Rebecca Cohn Auditorium and proudly welcomed almost 200 new members as King’s alumni. In his remarks, King’s President William Lahey told graduates: “You will always be welcomed back with open arms and true gladness for your return...King’s will always belong to you, in common with all the others who have signed their names in the matricula.”

HONORARY DOCTORATES AWARDED TO THREE OUTSTANDING COMMUNITY MEMBERS Author and teacher Lawrence Hill received a Doctor of Civil Law (honoris causa), educator and community leader Dale Godsoe received a Doctor of Civil Law (honoris causa), and religious scholar and Yale professor Bruce Gordon received a Doctor of Canon Law (honoris causa).

MEAGAN CAMPBELL’S VALEDICTORY SPEECH: PURE POETRY Meagan Campbell, BJ(Hons)’19, was chosen by her peers as their valedictorian. She delivered her valedictory speech in rhyming couplets. For space, we’ve excerpted portions. The full transcript is found at www.ukings/valedictory-2019

“What are you going to do when you graduate?” Families, guests, faculty If I can offer you a task, There’s one simple question You should try not to ask. You know that the future Gives us trepidation, But it seems the go-to question In every conversation. Ask anything profound, Our answers won’t be frugal, Universities exist For questions we can’t Google But approaching graduation, All good questions fade, Goodbye, epistemology Just one question remains. It’s nine little words That punch above their weight, It’s, “What are you going to do when you graduate?” I think what you’re asking, Is what we’ll do for work, If we’re no longer in school, It’s, “get to work. Get to work.”

Well, “get to work” starts to sound Like “go party” to me, “Get to work, to work, t’work, T’werk, twerk.” See? We’re in a gig economy That’s out of our control, And changes in technology Could compromise our goals. “What are you going to do when you graduate?” When an older person asks, They should think about their own fate. I’ll say, “I’m not sure, It’s not fully in my hands.” “What are you going to do when you die? Any plans?” Your question, it implies, That a normal path should be: High school, university, Career. One, two, three. In 2019, We must change this expectation, Almost nobody will go Right into a vocation. [. . . ] You have a right to ask the question Even if we hate it, You want to know our plans But perhaps you could reframe it. Maybe you could ask, “Can we help you navigate?” Or, “What are you exploring When you don’t know what awaits?” If you start to ask the question, It might not be too late, “What are you going to do When you gradua — I mean, grad … ually get some work experience in a field that might not relate?” Ask us any questions On ethics, art or liberty, That’s why we went to King’s But used all of Dal’s facilities. [. . . ] We’re updating our standards On language, love and race, We’re questioning what beauty means, We’re all about that bass. Yet somehow on careers, An old idea pervades, We expect a simple path, And some interns still aren’t paid! I think we’ll change our standards But I hope, in the meantime, We won’t panic; this is normal, And let’s think hard about our screen time. Social media gets loud The buzz can seem unstoppable, Somewhere along the way We forgot that it was optional. Professors, thanks for putting us On a learning spree, We framed a hundred arguments To frame this one degree.

Our other type of teacher Holds just as many merits, But your tenure never ends That’s why we call you parents. Sorry if we criticize you On a daily basis We take issue with most things you do, And say so, to your faces. Thanks for teaching us to get along With friends, sisters, brothers, Without you, we would not be here, Or we’d be here, hitting each other. Apologies again For giving you such flak You often hug your children, And we should always hug you back. We thank the staff on campus, And the librarian, within it, She’d come around each night to say, “We close in 15 minutes.” We’re closing now, I hoped somehow I’d get a chance to say, Our careers might not be linear, And that’s okay. To all of the grads Who have no idea what’s next, Know that this is normal In an era so complex. And to our families and the faculty, When we return these gowns, Just give us time to find our way, We will not let you down.

E-GAD: THE DISCIPLINE REQUIRED BY CONSTRAINED WRITING WILL FEEL FAMILIAR TO FYP STUDENTS

by Dr. Thomas Curran

ONE WORK THAT MAY NEVER appear in the Foundation Year Program reading list is an infamous French novel by Georges Perec (1969) which shuns the use of the vowel “e” as the condition of its completion and publication. Nor are we likely to embrace its even more miraculous translation in 1995 by Gilbert Adair* (290 pages in the English version, without a single appearance of the letter “e”). Please note that neither the author nor the translator could have been identified correctly on the covers of these books without the employment of the forbidden “e”; up to this semi-colon the vowel in question has already appeared 65 times— and this sentence cannot be concluded without a further 16 repetitions.

This “novel” adventure belongs to a remarkable (bizarre) self-imposition upon authors of something called “constrained writing.” A Parisian avant-garde circle, founded in 1960 and of which Perec was a member, dedicated themselves to exploring these unprecedented constraints in their writing. Perec’s novel has survived as the singular most ambitious and—to employ a second adjective which absolutely requires an “e”—“unconventional” example!

On many occasions I have had opportunity to wonder whether FYP students do not think of themselves as having landed in some eccentric “laboratory” for exercises in “constrained writing.” The seemingly endless rules concerning formatting, titles, spacing, citation, block quotation and electronic submission under which they operate must give students the impression that they seem to have enrolled in a course run by H&R Block—solely for the purpose of the correct, accurate and invariable data entry required by Revenue Canada!

But help is on the way, and specially on the way in FYP, by one of the authors whom we do read more or less annually: Goethe (the German-language equivalent to Shakespeare). For many years, we used to read Goethe’s shorter Novelle, but now we try to liberate students from the cobwebs of stuffy scholarship and incessant philosophical argumentation by reading the infamous epistolary novel of Goethe’s youth, The Sorrows of Young Werther (first published in 1774 and later revised). Werther, the protagonist, chafes under the restrictions of the petty bourgeoisie. Sample: “A man shaped by the rules will never produce anything tasteless or bad … [but] the rules will destroy the true feeling of Nature and its true expression.” How many students have been released from the interminable shackles imposed by FYP, in the reading of Werther’s sustained howls of protest for authenticity? And how many students have been emancipated from the blinkered response of this tutor to their

EDGAR ALLEN POE’S “THE RAVEN” WITHOUT AN “E” BECOMES

“Quoth that Black Bird, ‘Not again.’ ”

creative ideas and startling insights? After reviewing their deep engagement with the greatest thinkers of the millennium, all they learn from me is that they have repeatedly “split the infinitive”!

Nearly 30 years after the publication of this roar of protest against cringing convention, Goethe provided his own answer to Werther in a sonnet (1802) entitled Natur und Kunst (“Nature and Art”). The sonnet (14 lines of verse) has a strict established structure and, in its Continental version, is mostly recognized by its division into two sections, first of eight, and then of six lines, further supported by a prescribed rhyme scheme. How can anyone possibly produce something of “true feeling” under these totally arbitrary and foreign conditions?

Goethe provides us with his answer, presumably himself still squirming under the strait-jacket restriction of 14 lines of verse. Goethe explains that, as with mountaineering, the summit will never be attained without sustained discipline, and true mastery will only ever be available to those who are able “to pull themselves together” and can learn both to operate and to create within the limits that time, reversal of fortune and limited opportunity impose on them.

Maybe this year, I shall militate that we allow FYP students to read a novel (in FrEnch or English) which is offered to them without a single employment of the all too conventional letter “e”…That is so last century!
