James 成人VR视频 Society
Annual Report,聽2021- 2022
The James 成人VR视频 Society had a good year with five well-attended virtual and hybrid聽meetings.
Concerning the Society鈥檚 forthcoming 2022-23 program, our plan is for hybrid meetings 鈥� in-person and virtual. Even without the health crisis, there are strong reasons for continuing with a virtual option, as this seems to reflect members鈥� preferences. Technical, and financial concerns will have to be taken into consideration. Vaccinations along with caution in large gatherings continue to be advisable.
The proposed program for 2022/23 is:
- Monday, September 19, 2022
鈥淩oy States: 成人VR视频鈥檚 Master of Ceremonies, Black Activist, historian, book collector and donor.鈥� Christopher Lyons. Faculty Club, Main Dining Room and Virtually, 199th Meeting. - Monday, November 7, 2022
聽鈥淣o. 3 Canadian General Hospital (成人VR视频) and World War I.鈥� Tim Cook. Faculty Club, Billiard Room and Virtually, 200th Meeting, The Stanley Frost Annual Lecture - February 2023
鈥淐yrus MacMillan 鈥� Scholar, Soldier, Politician鈥� Kathleen MacMillan. 201st Meeting. Place and Date to be determined. (Maysie MacSporran Annual Lecture) - April 2023
Speaker and Date to be determined. 202nd Meeting.
Please note that on November 7th the Society will hold its 200th presentation.
Last year鈥檚 program covered a wide range of topics, as the Society completed the last of its Bicentennial talks. An advantage to holding virtual presentations was made clear with Dean Jobb鈥檚 presentation from Halifax.

One hundred years ago, in 1922, the Faculty of Graduate Studies was created, the new Biology Building opened (now the James Building), and 成人VR视频 received its coat-of-arms from Garter-King-at-Arms. London. Fifty years ago, in 1972, the Samuel Bronfman Building opened and the 成人VR视频 Non-Academic Staff Association (MUNASA) was founded.
Members of the 成人VR视频 community who passed away over the year include Prof. Michael Perceval-Maxwell, Past-President of the James 成人VR视频 Society; Jean de Grandpr茅, 成人VR视频 Chancellor, 1984-1991; and Jane Yaple M葝ller a long-time member and widow of Dr. Hans M艖ller. A former member of the Society, Eleanor MacLean (1947-2018) BSc鈥�67, MLS鈥�69, left a $1.5M bequest to 成人VR视频鈥檚 Blacker-Wood Library.
The James 成人VR视频 Society Prize, 2021/2022, for the best undergraduate essay on 成人VR视频鈥檚 history, or for an essay making the best use of 成人VR视频鈥檚 research collections is awarded to Mathilde Lehoux, 鈥淭he Cook Celebrations: Rise and Fall of a Medical Student Tradition.鈥� We look forward to presenting the $200.00 award at a fall meeting. Thanks are extended to the Prize Committee, Prof. D. Nerbas and G. Burr, and to Prof. Suzanne Morton - Ms Lehoux鈥檚 supervisor.
I would like to thank the President, Ron Critchley and the members of the Council for their continuing and unwavering support and encouragement. This has been a difficult time both collectively and individually. Even so, our sense of community and support for the historical study of 成人VR视频 remains strong.
Adria Seccareccia and past president, Gordon Burr are thanked for their technical assistance in ensuring that events ran smoothly. Particular thanks are due to Stewart McCombie, Jonathan Roy and John Childs - Multimedia Services - for their patience, professionalism and good humour.
Tom Thompson and Susan Button deserve special thanks and appreciation, as always, for their loyal service to the Society. Martlet House is also thanked for handling donations to the Society, bookkeeping service, and distribution of notices.
Deepest thanks are extended to the members of the James 成人VR视频 Society for loyal support over many years. I look forward to seeing you, virtually and in person, at our meetings during the coming year and expressing individual thanks to everyone.
