University of St. Michael’s College Alumni Newsletter Vol. 38, Number 2, Fall 2000 New Residence at St. Michael’s 21st Kelly Lecture Spring Reunion Double Blue A Letter from the Editor The University of St. Michael’s College Alumni Newsletter Welcome to the fall 2000 Issue of the DOUBLE BLUE. Our splendid cover, I am sure, evokes many happy memories of returning to the campus at St. Michael’s. For the first time, the Class of 2004 will encounter and form new impressions. Fall is a season of new beginnings. In this issue you will learn of a significant new beginning. Construction has begun on a new residence. This has created an atmosphere of excitement. Our alumnae profiles introduce two remarkable graduates - Lucy Booth Martyn, SMC ‘25 and Karen Hughes, SMC ‘87. The contributions of both, I am sure you will agree, reflect the ongoing legacy of St. Michael’s to our communities. DOUBLE BLUE is full of pictures that tell of the activities of the past year. On 30 May 2000, St. Michael’s welcomed home the new President of the University of Toronto, Robert Birgeneau and his wife, Mary Catherine Ware Birgeneau, both graduates of SMC. A successful Spring Reunion 2000 brought together hundreds of alumni from far and wide. The Class of ‘50 was particularly exuberant in their celebrations. Father Peter Mosteller’s (class of ‘50) reflections in his homily at the Alumni Liturgy struck a chord with the participants. His advice “to live life and to live a worthy life” highlighted his theme that “Everything I need to know, I learned at St.Mike’s.” Spring Reunion 2000 was capped by the opening of the newly restored Father Robert Madden Hall. The Annual Fund, Faith Hope and Charity, was very successful. The increased participation in this effort reminds us once again of the seriousness of the commitment members of the St. Michael’s community take to this institution. Your response is gratifying. One feature, “Letters to the Editor,” that we hoped to continue does not appear. Our audience seems happy with the recent changes for the newsletter. That is the good news, but we would like to hear more from you. Of course the traditional letter will do, but do not hesitate to call, fax, e-mail or any other way to be in touch. Visit our updated website - www.utoronto.ca/stmikes. Check for the latest Alumni activities and look for the past issues of the DOUBLE BLUE. I want to thank the Editorial Committee, staff and all the contributors who have made this issue possible. Enjoy your read.

Robert Taft SJ The Year 2000 is a banner year for the Kelly Lecture series. We are pleased to announce that the Right Reverend Archimandrite Robert F. Taft SJ is to present the 21st Kelly Lecture on Friday 1 December 2000. This special lecture, entitled “Anamnesis, not Amnesia: The Healing of Memories and the Problem of Uniatism,” carries on the purpose of the former St. Andrew and St. Peter Lectures, established by St. Michael’s to explore relations between the Roman Catholic, Eastern Catholic and Eastern and Oriental Orthodox Churches. The initiators of the St. Andrew and St. Peter Lectures have welcomed this incorporation into the schedule of the Kelly Lecture series because it ensures the continuation of this important ecumenical venture. Rev. Robert Taft SJ, a Byzantine Catholic priest and member of the Society of Jesus, was born and raised in Providence, Rhode Island. He was ordained a priest in the Byzantine Slavonic (Russian) Rite in 1963. After completing his M.A. in Philosophy at Boston College in 1956, he spent three years teaching at Baghdad College, Baghdad, Iraq. He returned to complete an M.A. in Russian studies at Fordham University in 1961. He received a Licentiate degree in 1964 from Weston College (Mass.) and continued his studies in Europe, receiving a Doctorate in Eastern Christian Studies from the Pontifical Oriental Institute in Rome in 1970. In 1970, Fr. Taft was appointed to the faculty of the Pontifical Oriental Institute, where he is currently Professor of Oriental Liturgy and Vice-Rector. He has been a visiting professor at Notre Dame University since 1974. An internationally recognized scholar and superb teacher, Fr. Taft is also a prolific writer, having authored over 250 works. In 1986, he published The Liturgy of the Hours in the East and West: The Origins of the Divine Office and Its Meaning for Today, which received the “Best Book in Theology Award” from the Catholic Press Association of the US and Canada. In 1982, Fr. Taft was appointed by Pope John Paul II as Consultor to the Special Commission for Liturgy of the Vatican Congregation for the Oriental Churches. We are excited and honoured to have a scholar of Fr. Taft’s academic stature continue, in the Kelly Lecture series, the tradition of the St. Andrew and St. Peter Lectures. We extend a particularly warm invitation to our friends from the Eastern Catholic andOrthodox Churches. Please join us on Friday 1 December 2000, at 8:00 P.M. in Sam Sorbara Hall at St. Michael’s College. There is no charge for admission, no tickets are needed, and all are welcome. by Mary Ellen Burns, ‘70 Above: Fr. Robert Taft SJ. page 3 Alumni Association A Letter from the Alumni President One of the hallmarks of the spirit and tradition of St. Michael’s is its strong sense of an inclusive community. I left St. Mike’s well armed to face the challenges of the future. It has been my good fortune to become involved again in this unique community of friends. I want to introduce myself. I am a graduate, SMC Class of ‘70. I warn you - if Bob Shiley SMC ‘68 calls to ask for help for SMC, take care. I received such a call in 1995. I was asked to help on the first Spring Memories Celebration. Father Bob Madden then asked me to join the Alumni Association’s Board of Directors. As a Board member, I was involved with the important strategy sessions undertaken on the watch of Maureen Hart-Biason. This began an ambitious effort to revitalize the Alumni Association and its Board. A review of the Board’s structure resulted in a greater emphasis to be placed on committee work. This would require greater alumni involvement. I want to celebrate the work of Maureen and her hard working executive - Marie Daly Cook, Vice President, SMC ‘91, Rosemary Chambers, SMC ‘91 and John Brown, SMC ‘78. They have set the course well. In 1998, I was asked to become a member of the Executive as Treasurer and head up the finance committee. Laura Syron, SMC ‘88, a committee member, was instrumental in developing a five-year strategic plan. After a successful Annual Fund in 1998-99, the goal set for the next Annual Fund 1999 - 2000 effort, better known at St. Michael’s as Faith, Hope and Charity, was set. It was very successful. Not only was the goal exceeded but also the participation rate rose by 24%, as did the average gift amount by 17%. This was propelled by the efforts of the President’s Circle Committee under the direction of Victor Dodig SMC ‘88. Next year under the direction of Michael Henry, SMC ‘91, the strategic plan continues.

Above L to R: Ernie Baltutis ‘70, George Delhomme ‘39. My hopes as President for the next two years are to encourage increased participation and support from our alumni and friends. This intellectual, emotional and financial support is a strong lifeline to the ongoing vitality of St. Michael’s. The strength of the Alumni Association is not just the activity and commitment of its Board. We have had a good start, but have a long way to go. We need you!

Photos: Ken Schnell Alumni Profile Karen Hughes ‘87 Two things that are immediately apparent about Karen Hughes are her dedication and her sense of humour, qualities that contributed to her induction into the U of T Sports Hall of Fame this past June. Recognised for her involvement in championship ice hockey and soccer teams, Hughes has made remarkable achievements, and not only as a player. She has been the head coach of the Varsity Blues Women’s Ice Hockey team since 1993, following three years as assistant, continuing a trend of activity and involvement that dates back to her undergraduate days. Enrolled at St. Michael’s, “I played soccer for St. Mike’s in my first year” and also refereed hockey at the college while excelling in Varsity sports. “It’s a really great honour,” she said of her induction. “I don’t think you realize it until you’re at the event, with all these other people who’ve done fabulous things over their careers in university sports.” Hughes was in good company. In addition to her contributions to U of T sports, Hughes has coached ice hockey at the national level, travelling as far afield as Sweden and Finland.“The best part of all is at the end of the game when we have won and your team lines up on the blue line, and they play the national anthem and raise the flag of the winning country. This makes you very proud to be a Canadian, and is something very special about international competition.” Still, what she loves most is working with her U of T hockey team. “Coaching them, you teach them a little bit more about other things than just playing hockey, like how to get along with each other, how to balance their time, providing a good support group for them. Our players are fun. They make me laugh; we have a good time.” Having fun is important to Hughes-”you can challenge yourself to be the best athlete you can be, but at the same time you should enjoy doing it”-but clearly, so is constant improvement. “I like to do things well, so when I became head coach at U of T, I wanted to become a better coach.” She took certification courses and is now a level four coach. “Working with Canadian Hockey is a great help to me with U of T because I get to go to coaching seminars. People who coach in the NHL come and talk. It’s been a great development opportunity for me, from a coaching perspective.” Improving as a coach allows Hughes to do a better job of helping her players improve, too. “You can make people better. My team wasn’t that good two years ago, but we still did well.” One of her former players, a recently graduated masters of engineering student, came to the U of T team as a beginner player. “She was determined to play hockey, and this year she was a CIAU All Canadian.” Exciting though her own hockey career was, Hughes doesn’t miss being a player. She still skates with the team every day, and ultimately, she loves to coach. “The best part for me is, I like to see my players in the university get better, improve, graduate, get a job, and go on and be successful in whatever they’re doing.” Above: Karen Hughes She’s especially grateful for her position with the Varsity Blues, where she doesn’t have to think about buying equipment or making travel arrangements. “U of T is great. They make it possible for someone like me to be a part-time coach. You get to do what you like to do, more. It’s the perfect place to coach.” Balancing her time is important, as Hughes combines her Varsity and National Hockey coaching with her job as a Senior Analyst with the Resources and Economic Development Branch of the Management Board Secretariat. It was also a factor when she was a student, working toward a Bachelor of Commerce degree. Though she did have five years as an undergraduate, “you actually find when you do varsity sports, you don’t waste time.” Now, “I use my vacation to go and do national team hockey.” She works with the U of T team for seven months of the year, and looks after scheduling, monitors training programs, and participates in recruiting during the other five. After maintaining such a fastpaced schedule for so long, what would Hughes do to fill the gap if she ever stopped coaching? Hughes doesn’t hesitate. “Golf,” she says, laughing. by Mary Keenan ‘88 page 5 Welcome Home President and Mrs. Birgeneau Above: Dr. Richard Alway ‘62, Mrs. Doris Lau and Dr. Robert Birgeneau Photo: Ron Sumners Above L to R: Dr. R.

Photo: Peter Hartwig page 6 u Alumni Profile Lucy Booth Martyn ‘25 Things were pretty different on the U of T campus during the days that Lucy Booth Martyn spent as a St. Michael’s College student in English and History. Frappuccinos were nowhere to be found, tuition was well under $500 per year, and Robarts had yet to loom large over Harbord Street. From 1921 to 1925, Lucy Booth Martyn attended Loretto College, then on St. George Street, living nearby on Barton Ave. with her parents. In addition to being an outstanding undergraduate student, Mrs. Martyn was very much involved in school life, “I was President of our Student Council in 1923. I remember frantically organizing for our February dance! I think that my extracurricular activity influenced my academics for the better. My membership in the Literary Society ignited my lifelong interest in literature.” This interest has indeed been lifelong. Mrs. Martyn completed her Master’s degree in Canadian History in 1936 after having worked as a supply teacher in northern Ontario for five years. Forty-two years later, her first book (of five) on the history of Toronto, was published: Toronto: 100 Years of Grandeur. “I was able to continue to study and write while my husband, Murdoch, and I raised our children (Diana and Donald). I’m sure they remember me at the books and frequenting the library throughout their grade school and high school years.” The Face of Early Toronto, Mrs. Martyn’s third book, was published when she was 79 years old. It was a real winner, garnishing the prestigious City of Toronto Book Award for historical non-fiction in 1983. Mrs. Martyn’s daughter Diana commented, “My mother caught the academic bug at Loretto and it never left her.” Mrs. Martyn agrees, “I will never forget the influence that the Loretto sisters had on my life. They were smart, gentle and sweet, and they made the academic experience serious but joyful for us young women, an experience one never wanted to end.” A particularly favourite memory involves one of the Loretto sisters and her gift for drawing her students into the material they were learning. “Mother Estelle always had something interesting for us to do. In my second year, she decided that our Latin class needed to get a better idea of what we’d been talking about, so she decided that we should stage a Roman wedding. We spoke our parts in Latin and wore full, proper costumes. I was the bride!” Above: Lucy Booth Martyn and Mary Ellen Burns Picture: Camille Harlock Mrs. Martyn was in the SMC spotlight once again more recently. This year, she and one other graduate of the U of T Class of ‘25 were honoured with the Chancellor’s Circle Medal on the occasion of their 75th Spring Reunion. Of this, Mrs. Martyn stated, “I couldn’t believe that so many days had passed since my time at Loretto. But the experience is always with me.” Lucy Booth Martyn is the quintessential SMC alumna smart, gentle, and sweet, the very way she described the Loretto sisters who helped her prepare for the 75 years (so far!) of life after St. Mike’s. By Elizabeth Paupst ‘92 page 7 Campus News Leonard Boyle Memorial Chair The Pontifical Institute of Medieval Studies has launched a campaign to raise two million U.S. dollars to establish the Leonard E. Boyle Chair in Manuscript Studies. The Chair was announced by Fr. James McConica, CSB, Praeses of the Pontifical Institute, at the Boyle Memorial Lecture last March, and again at the annual gathering of medievalists in May, in Kalamazoo, Michigan, where a special session was dedicated to Fr. Boyle. Leonard Boyle, who died in Rome on 25 October 1999, was a Fellow of the Institute from 1961 to 1984, when he was appointed Vatican Librarian. At the Institute, he taught to an ever-expanding circle of students and colleagues. His remarkable talents were honed at PIMS, where he was building on the resources and scholarly tradition established by its founders. His renown as a teacher Above: Fr Leonard Boyle. Photo: Anna Burko. and scholar served as a magnet for medievalists from around the world, and continued to do so during his tenure as Prefect of the Vatican Library from 1984-1997. The Chair will serve to honour Fr. Boyle’s memory and to secure in Toronto the legacy of his approach to research, directed always to the disciplines necessary to exploit original sources. Fr. Boyle was born in Ireland where later, he entered the Dominican Order, studying first in Ireland and then at the Dominican Studium Generale of Blackfriars, Oxford. Following ordination in 1949, he completed his Oxford D.Phil. thesis, a study of the works of William of Pagula. From 1955 to 1957, he worked on the Calendar of Papal Letters in the Vatican Archives, and from 1956 to 1961, he taught at the Angelicum, Rome. In 1961, he came to the Pontifical Institute at St. Michael’s College. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society in 1963, the Medieval Academy of America in 1980, and an Officer of the Order of Canada in 1987. His departure from Toronto was a loss deeply felt by friends, students, and colleagues throughout North America. He continued to publish in the remarkable range of subjects that epitomized the unity of medieval studies as a discipline, including canon law, codicology, pastoralia, archaeology (most famously on the pre-history of San Clemente in Rome), historical theology, and the history of education. At the time of his death he was the President of the Leonine Commission, the extended project to produce a modern, critical edition of the works of Thomas Aquinas. Nevertheless, it is as a great teacher that he will be best remembered. Accordingly, a Chair here in his name will be his living memorial. by Fr. James K. McConica, CSB page 8 News from Continuing Education at St. Michael’s As we begin our fifteenth year, Continuing Education at St. Michael’s is expanding its horizons in every way: new courses, new partners, new staff, new offices, new instructors and new opportunities to access affordably over 50 programs on topics ranging from art and literature to spirituality and pastoral care.

The award is given annually for the best historical book on a multicultural theme. Professor McGowan, of the College’s Christianity and Culture program, was also the recipient of the 1999-2000 St. Michael’s College Student Union’s Award for Teaching Excellence. This award was presented at a reception in Charbonnel Lounge on 13 April 2000. Professor David Wilson - of the Celtic Studies program received a U of T Outstanding Teaching Award from Professor Carl Amrhein, Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Science of the University of Toronto on 2 March 2000. John M. Kelly Library The “Henri J.M. Nouwen Archives and Research Collection” has arrived at the Kelly Library. Gabrielle Earnshaw, the newly appointed curator, is pleased to announce that the official opening will take place on 21 September 2000. Located on the first floor of the library, the collection is opened to the public for research purposes. Father Nouwen, an internationally known expert in Christian Spirituality and Pastoral Ministry/Counselling, spent the last ten years of his priestly life as Pastor at Daybreak/L’Arche in Richmond Hill, Ontario. The Nouwen Collection is a generous gift of this community. It has been held recently at the Divinity Library at Yale University. It contains course material from Nouwen’s lectures at Yale and Harvard. It also holds unpublished material from the 1960’s until the time of his death in 1996. Although the collection is not available for lending, it can be viewed by appointment at the Nouwen Centre at the library. Call the curator for an appointment at 926-1300 EXT. 3405. For the next year, while Victoria University’s Pratt Library is under renovation, its Reformation and Renaissance collection will be available to the U of T community on the second floor of St. Michael’s John M.

The campaign’s student committee, led by Misha Beline, Olivia de Souza, Katie DiTomaso and Mark Sokolski received the award for “best large campaign” from the University of Toronto and the Department of Alumni and Development. Over $8,000.00 was raised for the Class Project - beautification of Elmsley Place, better known to some as “Flower Pot Lane”. Books and Lecture Series, Alum’s Legacy to St. Mike’s Fred Furlong ‘51 was captivated by the capital ships of the Second World War. Influenced early in life by his father’s love of ships and anything naval, he acquired an extensive collection of books on the history of the ships and of the period of WW II. After his death on 11 February 1999, this valuable collection was left to the John M. Kelly Library. Louise Girard, Chief Librarian, commented that this is a welcomed addition to the library’s current holdings. Fred Furlong had a deep sense of gratitude to the Basilians and to St. Mike’s. He thoroughly enjoyed his student days. He was an avid debater and on one occasion challenged the Right Honorable Paul Martin SMC ‘25 (father of the present Canadian Federal Minister of Finance, himself an SMC graduate of ‘61) in a Hart House debate. Fred developed a passion for history, with an eclectic bent to his interests. Upon graduation he began a life-long career in education, receiving M.Ed. in 1961. Initially a history teacher at the middle school level, Fred moved into guidance. This led him into administration. In 1972, he became a Senior Administrator for the North York Board of Education. Well thought of in this role, he did not suffer lightly those who shortchanged the students. Fred loved to travel, as his frequent trips to Europe testify - a favorite locale was Paris. In addition to the generous donation of his beloved books, Mr. Furlong left St. Mike’s funds to endow a series of history lectures in the College’s Christianity and Culture program. The first is scheduled for spring 2001. Check the spring issue of Double Blue for time and place. St. Michael’s deeply appreciates the generosity of Fred Furlong and his commitment to seeing that spirit and traditions of his alma mater are carried on. by Mary Ellen Burns, ‘70 New Millennium Golf Classic On Tuesday, July 25th, St. Mike’s welcomed 120 alumni and friends to the first annual alumni golf tournament at Angus Glen Golf Club in Markham, Ontario (course of the Canadian Open in 2002). Edmond Odette, ‘47, was Honorary Chair for the event assisted by Co-Chairs, Joseph Sorbara, ‘63, and Doris Lau, who did all the work. It was a smashing success! The funds raised will be used for the new residence. Above: Desmond, Eva and Fr. Robert Madden. A large contingent of notable graduates and friends participated in the event. A reception and dinner followed where our guests had a chance to meet with former teachers and Basilian friends. Who’s Eva? It’s just high time that USMC alumni get to know better a woman who has, for over a decade, been at the epicenter of just about everything going on in the Office of Alumni and Development. For all you alumni who have heard Eva’s voice on the phone over the years and have asked, “Who is Eva Wong?” here is the scoop... Eva has been with USMC for over 12 years now, hired by Father Robert Madden in 1988 (“One of the few smart things I ever did,” he commented). Eva was Father’s “right-hand-woman” in Alumni Affairs up until his retirement in 1998 and is now Alumni Associate, working closely with the Director of Alumni Affairs, Mary Ellen Burns. But life for Eva did not begin at St. Mike’s (though we like to think it got better at that point). Before Eva began working at U of T in the Ophthalmology department, she arrived in Canada from Hong Kong in 1972 and soon after married her husband, Desmond, in Toronto. They moved to Sault St. Marie, where Desmond completed his chartered accountancy studies, and the two started their family of three girls, Alison, Evelyn and Janice. Since joining Father Madden, Eva has just about done it all in her time with USMC: photography, event planning, preparing the newsletter, alumni communications, providing support for the Board, and overall troubleshooting. In fact, “shooting” did figure obliquely in Eva’s job once. “I remember a few years ago, a distraught friend of a former staff member made violent threats against our office. If you’ve ever wondered why we had peepholes in our doors in Alumni Hall, that was the reason! You’ll notice mine was a lot lower than Father Donovan’s.” Above: Cheque presented from Doris Lau & Joseph Sorbara, Committee Co-Charis, to Dr. Richard Alway. L to R: Dr. Richard Alway, Doris Lau, Joseph Sorbara. Recently, new responsibilities have given Eva better occasion to get out of the office and get to know students and alumni. “When I try to picture a favourite event or memory, it’s so difficult, there are so many. The events are wonderful, though; they help me see and get to know everyone - Spring Reunion, the Kelly Lecture, retreats. It’s such a joy to see each one being a success in its own way.” Eva plans to take some vacation shortly after this issue of the Double Blue is laid to rest! Undoubtedly, during “Eva’s Holiday Time,” the most frequently asked question by the callers to the Alumni Affairs Office will not be “Who’s Eva ?” but “WHERE is Eva ?” Above: New Millennium Golf Classic 1st place Golf Team.

Farrugia, was completed in 1969. Over the last thirty years, the number of students registered at St. Michael’s has far outstripped the number of residence rooms. With a current enrolment of 3,500-3,600 students (and the same number of rooms as were available when enrolment stood at under 1,000) fewer students have an opportunity to experience on-campus living at St. Michael’s. The elimination of grade 13 in 2003 further increases the need for residence space, as even larger numbers will be seeking campus accommodation in that year particularly. In choosing to address the need for increased on-campus accommodation, St. Michael’s took into consideration the architectural profile of the campus. Odette Hall (Cloverhill), including the initial portion of St. Basil’s Church, constructed in 1856, was designed by William Hay and is the building in longest continuous academic use on the U of T campus. Additions were made to this first College building and the Church in the 19th and early 20th Centuries. In 1936, the Teefy, More, Fisher, and Pontifical Institute complex, designed by Arthur Holmes, opened on Queen’s Park; two years later, the main section of Brennan Hall, also designed by Holmes, was built. Montreal architect Ernest Cormier designed Carr Hall, which opened in 1954. St. Michael’s takes this architectural heritage seriously as architect Kent Rawson executes a series of carefully planned projects to house more academic departments as well as design the new residence. The beautifully renovated Odette Hall is now home to the SMC Principal’s Office, faculty and administrative offices for St. Michael’s and U of T. Belisle House has been transformed from a men’s residence into offices for the President, Alumni Affairs and Development, and Continuing Education. This academic enrichment of St. Michael’s underlines the importance of each new architectural decision. “We studied half a dozen different options for the new residence building,” Rawson said, but ultimately the underused space behind Windle, Phelan, and Belisle Houses was selected as the site for the new residence. The close proximity of the newest to the oldest building on campus led Rawson to design a structure closely matching Odette Hall, complete with pitched roof, dormers, and gables. The result is not only a beautiful building, but also a state of the art residence. Each of the 180 single-occupancy rooms will have a sink, Internet access, and individually controlled air conditioning. Handicapped residents will be accommodated in large, barrier free rooms, and have access to both an elevator and a wheelchair lift. Each floor will be a self-contained ‘house’ with a central lounge facing out on the new gardens planned for the front of Odette Hall. The basement area will feature two music rooms. This addition of on-campus residence rooms will also bring the availability of men’s and women’s accommodation at the College into balance. Recognizing a trend for the proportion of women students in Arts and Science programs to increase over time, the building has been designed to allow an easy conversion of individual floors to women’s residence space, to maintain that balance in the future. The entire campus will benefit from the alterations created by the new building. The existing driveway running in front of St. Basil’s Church and between Windle and Phelan House to Elmsley Place will be closed to vehicular traffic and replaced by a walkway and a raised pedestrian plaza outside the doors of the Church. The nineteen trees necessarily removed for construction will be replaced by 33 maples, birches, and oaks. The building is designed to accommodate the silver maple at present growing behind Phelan House, and a row of flowering crab trees will be planted along the walkway that links the west side of the building to Elmsley Place. The building, scheduled for occupancy in September of 2001, will have financial as well as visual impact. Thanks to support from the U of T and individual donors, part of the $11.4 million financing has been covered. However, “we’ll need $3 million from our alumni and friends,” said Brian O’Malley, Executive Director of Alumni Affairs and Development. There is no shortage of opportunities to participate in this exciting project. One St. Michael’s graduate has offered to contribute over $100,000 for the fibre optics and wiring to connect every student room to the U of T computer backbone and the Internet. Opportunities are also available for alumni to ‘buy’ and name a residence room. by Mary Keenan ‘88 page 12 Spring Reunion Above L to R: Dr. Alway with Class of ‘45.

Last year added further lustre to that well deserved reputation. The 1999-2000 “Faith, Hope and Charity” Annual Fund Campaign was very successful. Your donations to the Annual Fund grew by 40%. The size of your average gift increased by 17%, and most importantly, your participation jumped by 24%. These results are bringing tangible benefits to St. Michael’s and to its current students. Your contributions have helped St. Michael’s develop and maintain its academic programs in Christianity and Culture and in Celtic Studies, as well as its special student facilities, such as the Chaplaincy, Scholarships and Bursaries and the John M. Kelly Library. Your assistance continues to be very important to St. Michael’s. Thank you. Last year’s Annual Fund response has encouraged the Alumni Association to aim higher this year. For the 2000-2001 Annual Fund Campaign we are working to boost participation and to raise $1,000,000. This total goal would mean an increase of about 15% in donations. We believe that we can reach this mark, but obviously only with your help. The total amount raised, however crucial it is to the College’s mission, is not as important as the level of your participation. We would like more and more alumni to become actively involved in the St. Michael’s Annual Fund enterprise by making some gift, whatever its size. Thank you again for your previous generous support of St. Michael’s College. Michael R. Henry ‘91 Chair, Annual Fund Campaign A Way To Help Gifting Insurance Company Shares Changes in the tax rules affecting the gifting of appreciated stock and the demutualization of insurance companies could change your charitable giving strategy. The 1997 federal budget contained changes designed to make the gifting of appreciated stock to charities tax effective. While twothirds of capital gains are normally included in income as a taxable capital gain, if you make a gift of appreciated stock and debt instruments of publicly-traded companies to qualified charities (including St. Michael’s) before 2002, the capital gains inclusion rate is one-third. You will be issued a charitable receipt equal to the value of the gift. A tax credit based on the amount of the charitable receipt will be sufficient to offset the tax arising in respect of the capital gain. Any excess credit can be used to offset income from other sources, subject to certain limits, and can be carried forward for up to five years. Over the past year, a number of Canadian insurance companies have demutualized and become public companies. If you received shares, there was no immediate tax consequence to you. For purposes of computing future capital gains, however, the adjusted cost base of these shares to you is zero. On a sale, two-thirds of the proceeds realized on a sale of these shares, net of expenses, will be included in income as a taxable capital gain. Many have described these shares as “found money”. Bringing the two events together could change your charitable giving strategy in 2000 and 2001. By giving the demutualized shares directly to qualified charities (including St. Michael’s) before 2002: - one-third of the resulting capital gain will be included in income; - you will receive a charitable donation receipt equal to the value of the shares; - the charitable donation tax credit should be sufficient to offset the taxes payable on the capital gain arising from gift of the shares; - excess tax credits can be used to offset the taxes payable on other income in the year of the gift or five years carried forward. Consult your financial or tax planner concerning this and other charitable giving strategies. Catherine A.
