A meeting of the Senate of Victoria University was held on Wednesday, May 7, 2003 at 4:15 p.m. in Alumni Hall, Victoria College, President Gooch presiding. Those present were:

Professor P D Airhart Ms S Larade Mr D Bernhardt Professor M J Legge Professor M Bourgeois The Reverend M J Leuty Dr R C Brandeis The Reverend M C H Locke Mrs J Breukelman The Reverend F W Lockhart Principal D Cook Mr P Mitchell The Reverend S A Dyck Mr E D W Morgan Professor L D Dyer Ms H Parker Professor R H Farquharson Mr D Parsons The Reverend Dr W O Fennell The Reverend J Robertson Dr F Graham Ms M F Russell Professor R C Hutchinson Mr D S Skinner Professor C D Jay Professor D W Smith Professor W S Kervin Principal P Wyatt

Call to Order and Opening Prayer: The meeting was opened with prayer by Professor C D Jay. Memorial Resolutions: The following resolution in memory of the late Professor Emeritus George Wallis Field was presented by Professor Robert H Farquharson:

George Wallis Field, Professor Emeritus of German, was born in Coburg, Ontario in 1914. His long life began with memories of the celebrations marking the end of World War One, stretched through service in World War Two and the last days of the Raj in India, was buffeted by the student irreverence of the '60's and '70's, and ended with the technological explosion of the twenty first century. All this, Professor Field took in stride while at the same time remaining true to the Old Ontario and Anglo-Saxon traditions that were his heritage.

After early education in Coburg, it was natural for Professor Field to come to Victoria College in Toronto since the College had begun in his hometown and since his family had a long association with the Methodist academy from which it came. He graduated from Victoria in 1935 with high honours and as winner of the Regent's Gold Medal in French and German. After a short stint teaching high school in Ontario, Professor Field accepted a job teaching at the Canadian Academy in Kobe, Japan. When World War Two broke out, he followed the call of duty and made his way to India where he joined the Royal Artillery of the British Army. With the entrance of Japan into the War, he was transferred to Intelligence work, serving throughout the war on the fabled North West Frontier and the Khyber Pass area. These war years left him with a strong sense of doing one's duty without complaint. They also began an association with the military that continued as a side interest throughout his life. He served as Lieutenant Colonel commanding the University of Toronto contingent of the Canadian Officers Training Corps from 1966 to 1968 and more recently as Honorary Colonel of the Second Company of the Canadian Intelligence Corps.

At the end of the war, Professor Field returned to the University of Toronto to continue his studies. In 1945 he acquired his MA in German with a thesis on Franz Werfel and his PhD in 1948 for which his thesis topic was "An Interpretation of Schiller's Later Dramas on the Basis of his Philosophical Writings." That same year he was appointed to the staff. At this point began

Professor Field's long and loyal service to the University of Toronto and, more specifically, to Victoria College. Shortly thereafter, a comely young teaching fellow in the Victoria German Department took his eye. When Wallie and Eleanor married, Alvin Surerus, Head of the Department, claimed the right to toast the newly weds, saying, "Remember, Wallie, she was my fellow before she was your girl."

In his many years at Victoria, Professor Field became known as a staunch and stubborn defender of the values of the College and of its traditions. Repeatedly in the College Council and other forums in the University he argued vehemently against the rush to something new and the careless abandonment of the past. He was uncompromising in his fight for the virtues and principles in which he believed — duty, loyalty, and academic excellence. He served as Head of the German Department at Victoria from 1966 until the department was absorbed by the University in 1974. As a teacher, he served throughout his life. From both undergraduate and graduate students he insisted upon hard work, upon acquiring facts thoroughly, analyzing them objectively, and ordering them logically. At his Memorial Service a number of his former students spoke eloquently of the intellectual inspiration and training he had given them. These students are now themselves recognized and respected teachers and professors in various parts of Canada, further testimony to the richness of the legacy he leaves.

Above all, we remember Professor Field for his scholarly production. His text editions of Heine's poetry and of Fontane's Irrungen Wirrungen have proved their worth with many generations of students. A long list of articles on topics as diverse as "The War in Waziristan" and "Basic French in Japan" speaks to the breadth of his interests and his knowledge. He has written on Thomas Mann, Goethe, Schiller, and Fontane. His Literary History of Germany in the Nineteenth Century was published simultaneously in Britain and in America. His special field of interest was of course Hermann Hesse and it is for his work with this author that he is best known. Professor Field's interest in Hesse began in 1957, long before Hesse became the darling of the hippie era, and continued to his death. His book on Hesse in the Twayne World Author Series is acknowledged as one of the best books in the series and one of the best introductions to Hesse's work available. His later book, Hermann Hesse: Kommentar zu Sämtlichen Werken, has become an indispensable reference.

Even after retirement, Professor Field continued his association with the College and the University, appearing regularly in the Senior Common room at Vic to put forward his views on the events of the day or the way the world was turning. It was very like him to take one last swim in the Hart House pool on December 18, 2002 while he waited to have lunch with an amateur Hesse scholar who had asked him for guidance. His was an active, energetic, somewhat eccentric spirit of the kind that we seem no longer to breed. As such, he will be missed and long remembered.

Mr. President and Vice-Chancellor, I move that this resolution be entered into the minutes of the Victoria University Senate and that a copy be sent to the family of Professor Field. The following resolution in memory of the late Professor Emeritus Heinz Guenther was presented by Professor Roger C Hutchinson:

Heinz Otto Guenther was born in Dresden, Germany on March 31st, 1926. He received his early theological education in Germany at Wuppertal and Heidelberg. As a post-graduate student, he studied missiology at the Ecumenical Institute in Bossey, Switzerland, and East Asian Culture at the University of Hamburg. He held a Master of Sacred Theology degree in New Testament Studies from Union Theological Seminary in New York, and a doctorate in New Testament from Victoria University.

Between 1957 and 1974, Heinz taught at Kwansei Gakuin University in Japan, first as lecturer in humanities and theology and then as professor of biblical and religious studies. Heinz never lost his love for and interest in Japanese people and the Japanese language. Doug Jay recalls that when the University of Toronto and Emmanuel College received generous gifts of books from a Japanese religious group, Heinz dazzled both the Japanese guests and their U of T hosts with his command of idiomatic Japanese. Heinz was Professor of New Testament and Hermeneutics at Emmanuel College from the time of his appointment in 1974 until his retirement in 1992. He brought great wit and wisdom to that position. I had met Heinz in 1969 when we were both working on our doctorates, and, of course, I got to know him much better when we were colleagues at Emmanuel. I have many fond memories of his sense of humour, his intellectual curiosity and his enthusiasm for the multifaceted missions of college, university and church. I remember in particular the riotous lunch times we had with Heinz and Grant Bracewell in the faculty lounge. Heinz excelled as a teacher, graduate student supervisor, scholar, conscientious member of the community, and more-than-occasional preacher. His provocative book on the twelve apostles, which was a study in the meaning of religious symbolism, demonstrated both his stature as a biblical scholar and his appeal to scholars in other disciplines. His many, many articles published in German and in English spread his scholarly insights around the world and brought other parts of the world to us. In his retirement years, he continued to study, and to write and to preach. His daughter Beatrice told me that during the week before his heart attack he was working on a sermon on flesh and spirit in Romans 8. Those sermon notes became a central part of the eulogy at his funeral. We offer our condolences to Anneliese and their three daughters, and we assure them that we know how fortunate we were to have had Heinz with us. We share with them a deep sadness at his unexpected and premature death. Mr. President and Vice-Chancellor, I move that this resolution be entered into the minutes of the Senate of Victoria University, and that a copy be sent to the family. The following resolution in memory of the late Professor Emeritus Alan Charles Moffat Ross was presented by Professor David W Smith:

Our well-loved colleague Al Ross passed away on 10 December in his 90th year in London (Ontario). He is best known to us as the Victoria University registrar, a post he occupied from 1963 until his retirement in 1978. He was preceded in this position by Archie Hare, who moved on to become registrar at New College, and he was succeeded by Ken Thompson who was the last of the professorial registrars. In Al's day, the college had the right to admit six students who had not met the entrance requirements of the University; he and the president, Arthur Moore, always made sure that those six places were filled, often with students of some athletic prowess, since he was passionately keen on Vic continuing to win the Mulock Cup! The post was perhaps less demanding and complicated than today, and it was possible for the registrar to do some teaching. Al had been appointed in 1946 by Trinity College as an instructor in its Department of French. He moved to Victoria in 1947 as a lecturer. In 1951 he left to teach at Danforth Tech. at double his Victoria salary, returning as assistant professor in 1952. He obtained his Ph. D. in 1953 at the University of Toronto. He retired at the rank of full professor.

He was not, however, from Toronto but from Hamilton, where he was born on 4 June

1913. He attended Victoria Avenue Primary School, Hamilton Central Collegiate and McMaster University, where he obtained his B.A. in 1935 and his M.A. in 1936. He also studied at the Ontario College of Education and at the Sorbonne, where he completed a cours de civilisation française in 1946. He taught high school at London Central Collegiate Institute for a few years before the war intervened.

He had a distinguished army career (1940-1946), serving with the Canadian Fusiliers, the 1st Canadian Regiment, the Canadian 4th Armoured Division and the Intelligence Corps. He served in the U.K., on the Continent and back in Canada, where he both took and gave courses at the Royal Military College. When in the Reserve Forces after the war, he was a member of the 1st Hussars, then the Governor General's Horse Guards with the rank of lieutenant-colonel. From 1956 to 1962 he was Commanding Officer of the Canadian Officers Training Corps at the University of Toronto. He was mentioned in despatches, received the 1939-1945 Star, the France and Germany Star, the Defence Medal, the Canadian Volunteer Service Medal and Clasp and War Medal, and the Canadian Decoration. In a CV to which the historian of the Department of French had access, he modestly listed these medals under "War Experience" as "the usual".

During his career he taught mainly the seventeenth century as well as language classes, but he had written his thesis on "Camille Roy, literary critic" under the direction of F.C.A. Jeanneret, and the area in which he published was translation from French — Pierre Bourdieu, The Algerians (1962), André Raynauld, The Canadian Economic System (1967) and Gaston Bachelard, The Psychoanalysis of Fire (1968). Until the provincial Grade XIII examinations were abolished, professors often participated in the organizing and the marking, and in 1957-1959 Al was examiner-in-chief for French authors. Another of his achievements was the appointment of Paul Bouissac in 1962. He had met Paul chez Mlle Haumessser, whose Paris lodging-house at 76 bis, rue des Saints-Pères, appears in Paul's novel Les Demoiselles. He quickly recognized Paul's abilities, and secured him a job as an assistant at Victoria.

Few academics are as versatile and talented. He was a gifted musician, being awarded the ACTM by the Conservatory of Music at the age of 16. He was an accomplished pianist who enjoyed playing Bach, Beethoven and Brahms, but also popular music, enlivening many a gathering of family and friends as well as the Cercle français of his college, where he would produce song-sheets and lead a sing-along. He had a great love of jazz and was famous for his rendition of St. James' Infirmary.

He was a fine athlete, excelling at golf. His lowest handicap was a 3. He shot in the high 70s until he underwent a serious eye operation in his late 40s. He continued playing until close to the end of his life, scoring only a shot or two over his age. He was also a fine marksman, winning shooting competitions both before and after the war, twice almost making the national team that went to Bisley.

He was an excellent bridge player, having been taught as a teenager by an aunt. In 1956 he won both the Ontario and the Canadian Open Pairs Championship, playing with his cousin, and he eventually won enough master points to become a life master. During slack late Friday afternoons it was not unknown for a bridge four to assemble in his office or in the Burwash Upper Dining Room. John (Classics) Grant, Adair Dale, Al and I were a frequent foursome. He played a lot with his wife and family members, but he occasionally played with me at the Banbury Club against what he called, without disrespect, the fearsome "little old ladies". It struck me that the play of the hand rarely presented him with a challenge. On one occasion a parent rang him up as registrar and asked him to give her son a talking-to, as he was wasting all his time at Hart House

playing bridge. Al called him in, and for over half an hour, before getting down to business, they talked about nothing but bridge.

He was a great Francophile, not least because the French excel at food and drink, and it was unfortunate that he was seldom able to visit France.

I remember him as an excellent no-fuss administrator, as a dutiful and loyal colleague, as a warm and tolerant friend, who enjoyed life and helped others to do the same, who bore adversity with courage, and who was a devoted and loving family man. At his death he left his wife of 61 years, Grace Guyatt of London (Ontario), who has since died, a daughter Suzanne, two sons Douglas and John, and three grandchildren Christopher, Dominic and Gabriel, to whom we offer our sincere condolences. Mr. President and Vice-Chancellor, I move that this resolution be entered into the minutes of the Senate of Victoria University, and that a copy be sent to the family. All three resolutions were given assent with a standing vote and a minute of silence. Minutes of the Previous Meeting: Minutes of the meeting of December 4, 2002 were approved. Regrets: The Secretary noted that regrets had been received from Professor B Bolduc, Professor W Bowen, Professor D E Demson, The Reverend Dr K A Hamilton, Dean J Hunter, Professor E Kushner, Mr S Lam, Professor J Langins, Ms E Mackenzie, Mr J H McKean, Professor W E McLeod, Professor B S Merrilees, Mr M S Newton, Professor Wenh-In Ng, The Reverend D H Norris, Professor A Robson, Professor C A Silber, Mr O K Sorin, Professor R A Taylor, Professor K R Thompson, The Reverend J Visser, and Mr A Warman.

Sarah Jane Smith, B.B.A., M.Div., Th.M.

Hearing Sermons: Reader-Response Theory as a Basis for a Listener-Response Homiletic Director: Paul Scott Wilson

CARRIED. Professor David Smith asked why a Master of Theology Degree was considered to be a “higher degree” than a Master of Religious Education. Professor Marilyn Legge explained that Emmanuel College offered two types of degrees, basic degrees and advanced degrees and that students were required to have completed a Basic Degree in Theology before taking advanced studies. Motion from the Lincoln Hutton Committee: The Secretary presented the following recommendation of the Lincoln Hutton Committee regarding the Myrtle V McCulloch Essay Prize in Literary Studies. When the McCulloch Essay Prize was established in 1983, the only other essay prize was the Lincoln Hutton, offered for an essay in any subject area. It seemed reasonable at that time to assign the decision about this new essay competition to that committee. The Lincoln Hutton Committee has thus had to consider submissions from a wide range of subjects on the one hand, and also deal with the smaller group of submissions in one narrowly defined field. More recently, the Secor Essay Prize in Renaissance Studies has been established; the winner of this prize is determined by the instructors in the program. There seems no reason why this method should not be used for the Literary Studies essay prize, which parallels the Renaissance Studies prize in all essential details. Victoria College students would no longer submit entries, as the instructors themselves would take the responsibility of noting the best essays that have been received each year. The Lincoln Hutton Committee could then deal solely with the broader competition for which students are invited to submit essays for consideration.

On behalf of the Lincoln Hutton Essay Scholarship Committee, the Secretary moved, seconded by Professor Roger Hutchinson:

THAT the winner of the McCulloch Essay Prize in Literary Studies be determined this year and henceforth by consultation among the instructors in the Literary Studies Program.

CARRIED. Report of the Awards Committee:

The Secretary presented the following report on behalf of the Senate Awards Committee:

The Senate Awards Committee met on Tuesday, May 6, 2003 to consider the terms for several new awards for Victoria College, to revise the existing terms for three Emmanuel College Awards, and to review the 2003 allocation of Emmanuel College scholarships and graduate assistantships.

New Victoria College Scholarships:

The Secretary moved, seconded by Professor R Sarabia: THAT the Thora and Ralph Mills Scholarship be established in Victoria College to be awarded to students who have obtained overall A standing in any program. THAT the Pauline A Thompson Scholarship be established in Victoria College to be awarded to a Victoria College student in the Humanities, with preference given to a student who has excelled in the Northrop Frye stream of the Vic One first year program. CARRIED.

New Victoria College Bursaries: The Secretary moved, seconded by Dean J Hunter: THAT the Women’s Residences Reunion Bursary be established in Victoria College awarded to a woman student who demonstrates financial need, living in residence at Victoria. THAT the Bruce Vance Memorial Bursary be established in Victoria College to be awarded to a Victoria College student in the Humanities who is in financial need. CARRIED.

Revised Terms for three Emmanuel College Awards:

Professor M Legge moved, seconded by Professor P Airhart: THAT $10,000 be awarded as a special one time only Henry R Jackman Estate Award to fund post-graduate study in Church History, on the understanding that the normal terms of reference for post-graduate awards would apply and that if the award is forfeited the funds will be returned to the Jackman Estate fund; CARRIED.

Professor M Legge moved, seconded by Dr C. D. Jay, that the following revised terms for the James Forbes Seunarine Memorial Scholarship be accepted:

Existing Terms: Awarded to a student entering the M.Div. or the M.R.E. program with preference given to students from the Third World if the entering class includes any qualified candidates.

Proposed New Terms: Awarded to a student entering a Basic Degree program of Emmanuel College with preference given to students from the Third World if the entering class includes any qualified candidates. CARRIED.

Professor M Legge moved, seconded by Professor D Dyer: THAT the terms of the Basic Degree Participation Awards be revised to include the following criteria: completion of all courses in which the nominee is registered in the session for which the nomination is made, normally without extensions, with a minimum average of 78%. CARRIED. The Secretary noted that the Committee also discussed and agreed with a

recommendation that a template be used when establishing new awards at Victoria College. She pointed out that many different people are involved in soliciting and setting up new awards, and that a template would be useful in collecting specific information for the College’s award files as well as for the Student Awards and Benefactors brochure.

She also noted that the Senate Awards Committee upheld its earlier decision which does not allow general College Bursary funds to be used for Study Abroad and International Exchange programs.

CARRIED. Report of the Centre for Research in Religion:

Professor Roger Hutchinson presented the following report on behalf of the Centre for Research in Religion:

The Centre for the Study of Religion in Canada was created at Emmanuel College in 1986 as one of the initiatives resulting from a Lilly Endowment, Inc. faculty development grant. It was formed to promote and support research and public discussions in the general areas of Canadian religious traditions and ethical issues. The Centre provides a setting within the Toronto School of Theology and the University of Toronto in which students, faculty, visiting research associates and other interested persons can find stimulation and support for their research projects and ethical concerns. Through publications, conferences and workshops the Centre contributes to informed discussion of important public issues. In 1997, the name of the Centre was changed to “The Centre for Research in Religion,” to avoid confusion with the University of Toronto’s renamed “Centre for the Study of Religion.” Members of the Administrative Committee are: Gail Allan, Phyllis Airhart, Michael Bourgeois, and Roger Hutchinson (Chair). Centre Associates are: Brian Clarke (Religion and Public Life), Gwyn Griffith (History of the Centre for Christian Studies), Kimpianga Mahaniah (Anne Duncan Gray Visiting Scholar), and Betty Marmura (Pastoral and Theological Reflections on Life with Autistic Son Tim and His Friends). Current Projects include: 1. Responding to Abuse in Residential Schools A grant received from the Association of Theological Schools as part of its Public Character of Theological Education Project provided encouragement and support for a number of conferences, publications and lectures. The November 23rd, 2001 forum on the residential schools issue in Canada was described in Phyllis Airhart and Roger Hutchinson, “Responsibility, Repentance and right Relations,” in the 2001 issue of Theological Education. Gary Redcliffe’s “The Residential Schools: A Pastoral Reflection” will be published in the Spring 2003 issue of the Toronto School of Theology. Roger Hutchinson lectured on the churches’ response to abuse in residential schools at the University of Victoria, First Metropolitan United Church in Victoria, and at the meetings of the Canadian Society for the Study of Religion in Toronto, May 2002. He will give a paper on this topic at the Congress of the International Academy for Law and Mental Health in October in Sydney, Australia. Follow up conferences were held on November 3-4, 2002 and February 5, 2003. 2. Parish Nursing As part of the partnership agreement between Emmanuel College and InterChurch Health Ministries of Durham County Gary Redcliffe, Anne Simmonds and Roger Hutchinson conducted seminars for the annual Parish Nursing Education Program again in 2002. Roger will speak about what Parish Nurses have to teach the church about ministry at the Annual Meeting of the Canadian Association for Parish Nursing Ministry in Moncton, New Brunswick on May 30th, 2003.

3. SpiritWorks Research Project A research project on congregational renewal in collaboration with Potentials: A Canadian Ecumenical Centre for the Development of Ministry and Congregations and Scarborough Presbytery. Gary Redcliffe has been conducting research in Scarborough Presbytery during the first phase of this project, and the Centre is collaborating with Potentials in efforts to raise additional funds. Potentials hopes to study the effectiveness of reforms initiated in Scarborough Presbytery, and Gary has been consulted about the possibilities of a similar regeneration process in Halton Presbytery.

Report of the Library Committee:

Dr R C Brandeis distributed copies of the 2001-2002 Annual Report of the Victoria University Library (Appendix A). He also presented the following report of the Library Committee:

The Senate Library Committee met at on April 24, 2003. PRESENT: R. Taylor, (Chair), P. Gooch (President), R. Brandeis (Chief Librarian),

P. Wyatt, Principal, Emmanuel College, S. Larade, Chief Archivist, W. Bowen, Director, CRRS; Professors A. Keith, B. Merrilees, G. Sheppard, A. Urbancic; Rev. F. Lockhart (Alumni), N. Ruhnke, Chair, Friends of VUL

REGRETS: D. Cook, D. Fox, J. Patrick, S. Chudy, J. McKean The meeting was called to order by Professor Taylor. MINUTES OF LAST MEETING: Motion: N. Ruhnke moved that the Minutes of the May 13, 2002 meeting be accepted as read. B. Merrilees seconded the motion. Carried. BUSINESS ARISING FROM THE MINUTES The Chief Librarian spoke about safety and security concerns. The report on safety and security at Pratt and Emmanuel Libraries was received. Most of the recommendations have been implemented on campus and in Pratt (phones, peep holes, cameras, blinds). There was an issue regarding security patrols in the Pratt Library during the evening and these have now begun, thanks to the assistance of President Gooch; Victoria personnel now patrol Pratt during the evening and assist in closing Pratt at night. There have been concerns about closing Emmanuel Library at night; but a method has been devised which will alleviate these concerns. April has been a very busy month (as usual). In spite of warning signs to safeguard personal possessions, two lap top computers (belonging to students) and a wallet have been stolen. President Gooch thanked the Chief Librarian for his patience in dealing with security issues. The Chair asked about extended hours at Pratt. The Chief Librarian explained that the smart classroom on the third floor of Pratt has been opened during extended hours and is being heavily used. He mentioned that the Friends of VUL have contributed funds to

help hire extra students to monitor the room. The Library also added eight new carrels and twenty-two more chairs for carrels (so students can double up to study). CORRESPONDENCE Two Victoria Dons wrote to ask the Chief Librarian if the Pratt Library could make available two hundred popular videos (bought with VUSAC funds) to Victoria students. The Librarian had a meeting with the Dons and explained that there would be issues to be considered: staff time, financial considerations, questions of loss and damage. The videos would have to be catalogued and shelved in the Library. A. Urbancic wondered why they would purchase videos and not DVDs when videos are being replaced by DVD technology. P. Wyatt noted that he finds St. Michael’s Library collection of videos very useful and suggested that we might start a video collection by buying really great films. The Librarian noted that we do have a large collection of course related videos (e.g., Shakespeare). G. Sheppard asked if we need a collection of videos when public libraries carry them. He also asked how students are made aware of the various collections on the UofT campus. The Librarian said there is a large UofT Audio Visual collection and that all videos in UofT collections are catalogued. B Merrilees suggested that it doesn’t make sense to have a popular video collection here. The President suggested that this Dons’ request is quite separate from the matter of collection policy. If there are faculty suggestions for a video collection that is a very different issue. F. Lockhart finds it worrisome when the institution starts to get into student life beyond course studies. N. Ruhnke noted that the Toronto Reference Library has a huge video collection and it’s only minutes away from the Library. The Librarian will encourage the students to work out an arrangement regarding the videos with the residences or with the Dean if they decide to go ahead with the project. ANNUAL REPORT The Chief Librarian reported that use in the Pratt Library has increased considerably since the move back into the renovated building. The cost of books has fluctuated but the acquisitions budget is keeping pace although currency fluctuation and the value of the Canadian dollar affects the budget. The Librarian noted that although this is not discussed in the Annual Report, the Library Web Page has received a lot of use, particularly in relation to special collections. The Library has staff working on the page and they can now provide statistics on various aspects of Web Page use. This allows the Library staff to keep track of usage and react to changes when necessary. He offered to have a demonstration of the Web Page at a future meeting if the Committee members think it would be useful. S. Larade said the Web Page statistics could be very useful and asked if they could be worked into future Annual Reports. The Chief Librarian also noted that the Library has extensive CD-ROM resources (some of which have been generously supported by the Friends of VUL); 25% of subscription costs are for on-line resources though cost sharing arrangements are made with other libraries. B. Merrilees asked if the increased use at Pratt has necessitated hiring more staff. The Chief Librarian responded that the Library has hired more student assistants and now employs the equivalent of 9 or 10 FTEs. There are 40-45 Student Assistants at busy times. President Gooch asked if the use at Pratt is up even though the Library was closed part of the year. The Chief Librarian said yes. The statistics are more accurate now that the new circulation system is in use. These statistics have an impact on the block grant.

B. Merrilees moved that the Annual Report be accepted. A. Urbancic seconded the motion. Carried. Other Business The Chief Librarian reported that fees have been raised for lost material. Up to now the fee has been $75 for a lost book or CD. The UofT Circulation Services Committee has raised the fee to: $100 for replacement +$45 for processing for a total of $145. Bound serials fee is $200 for replacement + $45 for processing for a total of $245, etc. The fines fees stay the same.

Dr Brandeis commented on some of the highlights in the Annual Report. He noted that last year there were over 290,000 user visits to the library, that 146,000 items had been borrowed and that the Pratt Library web site had had 650,000 hits with over 18,356,000 pages of information being accessed. There were over 8,000 hits on the Northrop Frye papers available on the web and over 25, 000 users accessed the Virginia Wolf and Bloomsbury group special collection on the web. President’s Report:

1) President Gooch announced the 2003 recipients of the Margaret Ray and Florence Pratt Award: Mrs Carmen Socknat, Head, Bibliographic Services, E J Pratt Library; Mr Corrado Trigila, Maintenance, Conference, Food & Plant Services; and Ms Karen Wishart, Librarian, Reader Services, Emmanuel College.

2) He noted that the Provincial Government had announced that a new government

matching program is about to be launched. It would be similar to the last OSOTF program in that awards would have to have a financial aid component in order to qualify for the Government matching funds. The pool of matching funds will be smaller than last time and each University will be assigned a quota from the total funds available. President Gooch indicated that he wanted Victoria University to be ready to act when the details of the campaign are announced.

3) President Gooch also announced that because of the poor performance of the stock

market, the draw from the awards endowment will be down by approximately $180,000 for the 2003-2004 year. At Emmanuel College, funding for the Advance Degrees would be most affected by this reduction, and at Victoria College, the in-course scholarship programs would be the most affected. He commented that he would be looking into ways to address this shortfall.

Other Business:

Principal David Cook provided an update on the new Vic One first year program. He announced that six staff members had been appointed to teach in the program. The new appointees include Professor Dennis Duffy who will coordinate the Northrop Frye Stream, and Dr Peter Harris, who has been appointed as the Coordinator of the Lester B Pearson Stream. Professors Will Robins and Al Moritz have signed on to teach in the Frye Stream, while Professor Roger Hutchinson and Ambassador David Wright will teach in the Pearson Stream. These teams are currently working on the course curriculum for the fall term. Principal Cook noted that student interest in the program is high. He is confident that it will attract the required number of students and that it will be a very lively and dynamic program.

There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 5:15 pm.
