Tom McEWAN,
Educator And Entrepreneur (1924-2006)
As a young businessman, he helped to merge three small colleges
and create what is today the University of Guelph
By F.F. Langan, Special to The Globe and Mail, Page S11
Toronto -- People think of the University of Guelph as the place
that produced John Kenneth Galbraith. But of course he never
went there. He graduated from the Ontario Agriculture College
in 1932, 32 years before the University of Guelph was founded
by the likes of Tom
McEWAN.
Along with a number of other key players, Mr.
McEWAN worked to
bring together the three colleges that formed the University
of Guelph: the Ontario Agriculture College, the Macdonald Institute
and the Ontario Veterinary College. He was the first chairman
of the board of the University, but before that, he had been
one of the people overseeing the three colleges that were at
the core of the new university.
"He was a visionary. Around 1960 he said we have the basis of
a university in Guelph, and he and other people worked hard to
make it happen," says Bill
WINEGARD, who was hired by Mr.
McEWAN
as president of the University of Guelph in 1967. "They hired
the best people, including someone from Harvard, to make sure
they got the best physical plant. He got a lot done playing the
role of the tough businessman, though I found underneath he was
a cream puff."
The expansion of universities in Ontario was an idea whose time
had come. It was pushed by John
ROBARTS, then the premier of
Ontario, and his education minister Bill
DAVIS.
York,
Brock,
Laurentian and others were all founded in this period.
"Tom was fundamental in setting up the University of Guelph,
and transforming it from the three founding colleges," said Alastair
SUMMERLEE, the current president of the University of Guelph.
"At the time he was a young businessman in his late thirties.
He fought to get the property from the provincial government."
There were less than 1,000 students when Guelph opened in 1964.
Today there are 20,000 regular students and 50,000 in so-called
distance learning.
Tom McEWAN was born in Scotland, not the country but the hamlet
in southwestern Ontario. His father was a farmer and he went
to a one-room school house and then to high school at Delta Collegiate
in Hamilton. Before he could finish high school he joined the
Royal Canadian Air Force, and qualified as a pilot.
Flying Officer
McEWAN was assigned to Coastal Command, whose
main job was to patrol Canada's coastline looking for submarines.
The flights were long, often in rough weather, and almost always
at lower altitudes where the ride was bumpier. Flights could
last 12 hours. The Royal Canadian Air Force had seven squadrons
of planes flying long-range patrols, many of them older bombers
such as the Anson and the Hudson, small aircraft made obsolete
by wartime aeronautical advances offered by four-engined Lancasters
and Liberators.
After the war, Mr.
McEWAN went to a special school set up for
veterans who needed to finish high school, but who would be humiliated
returning to a regular classroom. It was called the Veterans
Rehabilitation School.
He then went to university at Queen's where many of his classmates
were veterans, their education paid for by the federal government.
He recalled that single veterans received a living allowance
of $60 a month, married veterans $90. He was president of the
graduating Arts class at Queen's in 1950.
His first job was as a sales representative for Union Carbide
Canada and he stayed in that type of business all his life. He
later moved to a firm called Sterling Rubber, where he became
one of the owners and eventually president. The company manufactured
specialty medical products such as syringes and medical gloves.
Later, the firm was sold to an American company, Beckton Dickinson,
and he stayed on for a while as president of the Canadian division.
In the early 1960's he was elected a school trustee in Guelph
and then was head of the Board of Regents of the Federated Colleges,
the three institutions that made up the University.
One of the problems with building a university in a small town
such as Guelph was there was no place to house the students.
While others set about planning and organizing the academic life
of the new university, Mr.
McEWAN dealt with the physical side
of things. He put together a 1,000-acre campus, with student
residences in the centre and on the edges of the university.
"At one time Guelph had the highest residential capacity of any
university in the province, and it is still very high," said
Mr. WINEGARD. "
Tom even bought several acres around the edge
of the campus and donated the land to the university."
Dr. Mordechai
ROZANSKI, who was president of the University of
Guelph from 1993 to 2003, also described Mr.
McEWAN as forward
thinking.
"Tom was a central player in the conception and formation of
the university," Doctor Rozanski told the Guelph Mercury. "I have
never seen anybody so dedicated to our successor generations."
He was "a founding father of the university in 1964 and a proponent
of public education in general," added Doctor
ROZANSKI, whose academic
life began at McGill University in Montreal, but who is now president
of Rider University in N.J.
By all accounts, Mr.
McEWAN had not realized the scope of the
job he had taken on when he agreed to join the university's board
of governors. "As about the youngest and poorest member of the
board of governors, I expected to be able to sit back and learn
from the older and much wiser members," he wrote in papers found
in the university archives. "I was shocked when they elected
me chair."
The
Guelph
Mercury recently ran an editorial praising Mr.
McEWAN's
work in leaving a campus plan that has survived. "
McEWAN helped
to shape what the school is today, helping to wrote the long-term
development plan that continues to determine some of the school's
priorities to this day -- academic buildings situated to allow
pedestrian traffic and ensuring the campus retains its residential
nature."
During his time at the university he continued his business life,
and ran a firm called Howmet of Canada. In the 1970's he was
chairman of a government committee to study costs in education
in Ontario. Later, he served on the board of the Workmen's Compensation
Board.
Along with education, Mr.
McEWAN was heavily involved in charities
for disabled children. He was president of the Ontario Society
for Crippled Children.
His son Ian remembered his father had few hobbies outside work,
though he was a keen golfer and member of the Mississauga Golf
Club. He also loved the music of the Second World War, especially
the big bands of Tommy Dorsey and Glenn Miller.
Thomas Arthur
McEWAN was born in Scotland, Ontario, on April 5,
1924. He died suddenly in Guelph, Ontario, on May 13, 2006. He
was 82. He is survived by his wife Bessie and his children, Ian
and Melanie.

ROZSA,
Theodore (1915-2006)
Theodore ROZSA passed away peacefully on Thursday, March 2nd
at his home in Calgary. Ted was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan
on June 12, 1915. He was the
son of a Hungarian immigrant who
instilled in him his life long commitment to the value of hard
work. In 1933, he completed his high school diploma with honors
and in 1936, two and a half years after he entered what is now
Michigan Technological University, his Bachelor of Science degree
in geology, with honors. Ted was a pioneer in the post-war oil
industry. His first and only employment after graduation was
with the Shell Oil Company where he spent thirteen years managing
seismic exploration from the Gulf of Mexico to the tundra of
northern Alberta. In 1950, one year after relocating to Calgary
to assume the position of chief geophysicist for Canada, he left
Shell to start his own company, Frontier Geophysical. Over the
next forty years, Ted utilized his considerable skills as a geophysicist
and geological engineer to build three petroleum exploration
companies in southern Alberta. For these accomplishments, in
1987, he was awarded the first Canadian Society of Exploration
Geophysicists gold medal for his integrity, outstanding professionalism,
and significant contribution to the application and business
development of Exploration Geophysics. Ted actively supported
his community by sharing his financial success. His capital contributions
launched the construction of the Rozsa Centre at the University
of Calgary, and the Rozsa Center for the Performing Arts at Michigan
Technological University, where he also established a student
scholarship fund. Capital support was also given to the Banff
Centre and Centre for the Performing Arts. Ted made a large endowment
to the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra for the Maestro's Chair,
as well as giving significant annual operational funding to the
Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra, Calgary Opera, Honens, in addition
to supporting the Glenbow Museum, Theatre Calgary, Foothills
Hospital and many other charitable causes. Mr.
ROZSA received
numerous honors for his professional contributions, philanthropy
and civic leadership. In 1990, he received an Honorary Doctor
of Engineering from Michigan Technological University and an
Honorary Doctor of Laws from the University of Calgary. In 1991,
he was named an Officer of the Order of Canada, of which he was
most proud. Other honors he received include: the Michigan Technological
University Silver Medal (1988), the Canadian Music Council Award
(1989), the Government of Canada Lescarbot Award (1991), Rotary
Integrity Award (1994), Edmund C. Bovey Award for Business and
the Arts (2002), Lieutenant Governor Award (2004), Alberta Centennial
Medal (2005). Ted's life-long recreation was the game of golf.
He was one of the early Canadian Society of Exploration Geophysicists
members who founded the Doodlebug Golf Tournament in 1953, in
which he played for thirty-eight consecutive years and is remembered
through the annual Ted Rozsa Doodlebug Award. He was an active
member of the Calgary Golf and Country Club for over fifty years.
Ted is survived by his loving wife of sixty-six years, Lola
ROZSA
two daughters, Ruth Ann
RAYNER, and Mary Rozsa DE
COQUET; and
son Ted and wife
Diana
ROZSA; all of whom reside in Calgary.
He has seven grandchildren: Howie and wife
Hella
NORDSTROM of
Sweden; Scott and wife
Paige
ROZSA of Dallas, Texas; T.J.
ROZSA
and Stacy ROZSA of Los Angles, California; Karen and husband
Jim RICE, Mary Cristina Rozsa DE
COQUET, and Charles
ROZSA of
Calgary; and four great grandchildren. He is also survived by
his brother-in-law, Charles and wife
Mildred
ESTES, of Sherman,
Texas. Ted loved his family and was highly respected in the community.
He was pleased to have watched Calgary grow, and to have had
the opportunity to 'give back' to the community and support that
growth. He will be remembered for his brilliance, hard work,
integrity, and philanthropic generosity which will be carried
on by the Rozsa Foundation and the annual Rozsa Award for Excellence
in Arts Management. A memorial service will be held at Grace
Presbyterian Church (1009, 15th Avenue S.W.), Thursday, March
9 at 2: 30 p.m. Heritage Family Funeral Services 'Calgary Crematorium
