In loving memory of a dear Father, Grandfather and Great-Grandfather
who passed away four years ago, May 29, 2004.
What we'd give if we could say,
'Hello, Dad,' in the same old way.
To hear your voice, and see your smile,
To sit with you and chat awhile.
So if you who have a father
Cherish him with care,
For you'll never know the heartache
Till you see his vacant chair.
As angels keep their watch up there,
Please God, just let him know
That we down here do not forget,
We loved and miss him so.

Uncompromising, transformative professor nurtured students and
grudges across borders
Abused as a child in England, he arranged passage to Canada and
built a successful but peripatetic academic career
By Sandra MARTIN,
Page
S11
Pomp, circumstance and hooded academic gowns were the order of
the day when York University celebrated its 40th anniversary
in March, 1999. Among the invited guests was John R.
SEELEY,
the university's first professor of sociology, and a former friend
and colleague of inaugural president Murray
ROSS.
"What are you doing here?" a clearly affronted Prof.
ROSS demanded
when Prof.
SEELEY, who had travelled from his home in California,
arrived at the reception. "I was invited," Prof.
SEELEY replied.
Enraged, Prof.
ROSS threw his gown across the room and stomped
out and had to be persuaded to return, according to some of the
other guests in attendance.
Prof. ROSS was not alone in his antipathy to Prof.
SEELEY, an
elfin-like man of diminutive stature (5 foot 4 at a stretch)
but outsized moral and intellectual presence. His maddening refusal
to compromise personal ethical standards led to his abrupt departure
from teaching positions at several universities. Senior bureaucrats
at two Ontario universities vetoed decisions to hire him despite
his reputation as a top sociologist who eventually had more than
400 publications, including Crestwood Heights: A North American
Suburb, Community Chest: A Case Study in Philanthropy, and a
collection of psychological essays, The Americanization of the
Unconscious.
But the same qualities that frightened administrators and branded
him a troublemaker often made him a transformative influence.
His capacity for listening, his respect for the individual and
his ability to nurture ideas and people, especially children
and young adults, made him a moral beacon for many.
"He was more important in my life than either of my parents,"
criminal lawyer Clayton
RUBY said in an interview.
"He picked up everything I was concerned about before I'd finished
the sentence and replied, as always, with astute, sensitive advice,"
said journalist Rick
SALUTIN, who, like Mr.
RUBY, was a student
at York in the early 1960s. "I have no idea what I'll do for
advice without him."
Prof. SEELEY grew up physically and emotionally abused in England,
experiences that shaped his academic interests as a sociologist,
his therapeutic approach as a psychoanalyst and his world view
as a citizen.
"It was pretty plain to those of us who knew him that his traumatic
and terrible childhood gave birth to a lifelong commitment to
treating children well, respecting them as people and honouring
their right to be free from abuse," his son Ron said. "The way
that he started out being treated as a child, without any recognition
of who he was, made him thirsty for knowledge and made him recognize
the importance of the emotional nurturing of children."
John Ronald
SEELEY was born in the Hampstead area of London in
1913, the second of four sons, to Emil
FRIEDEBERG, a German businessman
who was a principal in a European commodities firm centred in
Antwerp.
His mother, Lilly
SEELEY, was a wealthy Edwardian society
woman who may have been mentally ill. The family probably took
her last name because of anti-German sentiment during the First
World War.
Young John was beaten and abandoned for long stretches by his
mother. After his father died when John was 8, he was sent to
a boarding school in Heidelberg, Germany, where he was the youngest
pupil by far and unable to speak the language. At 12, he was
brought back to England and sent to another boarding school,
where the headmaster taught him practical life skills and encouraged
him to read, to think for himself and to take pride in his intellectual
abilities. John was 15 when he saw what was probably an ad offering
passage to Canada and the prospect of land for those willing
to work as farm labourers for a specified period of time.
Seeing this as a way to escape his mother, John arranged his
passage and worked as a farm labourer for three years, and, with
the help of a local Presbyterian minister, completed his high-school
education. He moved to Toronto in 1931 and found work as a printer's
devil at a graphic arts firm called Rolf Clark Stone. Eventually,
he worked his way up to export manager and into the affections
of secretary Margaret Mary
DEROCHER.
Mr.
SEELEY left in 1940 to
study at the University of Chicago, where he earned a bachelor's
degree. He returned to Toronto in 1942, enlisted in the army
as a second lieutenant and eventually worked his way up to staff
captain. He didn't fight overseas, although he was shipped to
London on a short-term project that included a progressive attempt
to deal with what we now call post-traumatic stress syndrome
and postwar planning for veterans.
In 1943, he and Ms.
DEROCHER married in Toronto. Between 1944 and
1955, they had four sons: John, David, Ronald and Peter. After
demobilization, he returned to the University of Chicago and
began work on his doctorate in sociology. He returned to Toronto
in 1949 without having completed his dissertation and took a
job as executive director of what is now the Canadian Mental
Health Association.
He was also teaching part-time in the psychiatry and sociology
departments of the University of Toronto, separate departments
that he believed for the rest of his life should be combined.
These were also the years when he was researching social mores
in Toronto's Forest Hill Village, then studying fundraising methods
in Indiana. The
SEELEYs moved back to Toronto in late 1956 and
he took a job as director of research for what is now the Centre
for Addiction and Mental Health. That same year, Crestwood Heights
was published by the University of Toronto Press. The book, based
on his five-year study of Forest Hill (the area was not named),
described men working extremely hard to maintain a luxurious
lifestyle, wives trained to support their husbands by cultivating
social connections, and children inculcated with the same mores
so they, too, would learn to value social prestige and wealth.
It was a hugely influential book. The following year, the University
of Toronto published Community Chest, an examination of organized
fundraising in Indianapolis and community perceptions of its
effectiveness.
While teaching at the U of T, Prof.
SEELEY became friendly with
Dr. ROSS, a professor of social work. They talked about the issues
of the day, including new approaches to education, given the
huge wave of children born after the Second World War who were
approaching university age. Many of them felt entitled to higher
education and wanted a voice in what and how they were taught.
In the preface to The New University (a collection of his speeches
that amounted to a draft plan for York University,) Prof.
ROSS
emphasized the beneficial effects of the more intimate setting
of a liberal arts college, acknowledging his debt to Prof.
SEELEY
for "reading, and commenting on, many of these speeches in their
original form."
After Prof.
ROSS was named the inaugural president of York in
1959, he invited Prof.
SEELEY to join him there as professor
of sociology. Within three years, the two men were bitterly and
publicly estranged, essentially over the institution's size and
nature. By 1963, 10 of the 43-member faculty had resigned, several
out of dissatisfaction with Prof.
ROSS's leadership and what
they felt was muddled thinking and misplaced priorities in turning
the university into a massive educational factory. Historian
Michiel Horn, author of a forthcoming history of York University,
and political scientist Denis
SMITH, who served as the university's
first registrar, both stated in interviews that amid the challenge
to find faculty, establish a curriculum and educate students,
Prof. ROSS had a tendency to say what he thought people wanted
to hear.
As the relationship soured, Prof.
SEELEY arranged to be a visiting
professor in the sociology department at Brandeis University
for the 1963-64 academic year. While teaching at Brandeis, he
resigned from York. The following year, he was a visiting fellow
at California's Stanford University, and returned to Brandeis
in 1965 as chair of the sociology department. Within a short
time, he was at odds with the administration over his political
activism against the Vietnam War. He objected vociferously to
the university sharing students' personal information (including
grades) with the Selective Service System, which administered
the military draft.
For most of the next decade, Prof.
SEELEY moved his family back
and forth across the United States as he took up what invariably
turned into short-term appointments at a variety of institutions,
including the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions,
a liberal think tank founded by educational philosopher Robert
Hutchins in Santa Barbara, California. This didn't last long,
as Prof. Hutchins reorganized the centre two years later after
a philosophical and economic parting of the ways that saw many
fellows depart, including Prof.
SEELEY, and others join, including
Alexander Comfort, later the author of The Joy of Sex, and Stanford
biologist Paul R. Ehrlich, author of The Population Bomb.
Prof. SEELEY yearned to return to Canada, especially Toronto,
but his dissident political activity and fractious reputation
apparently mitigated against formal invitations. He was a "lightening
rod," said Ron
SEELEY. "He was just too hot for many people in
staid institutions to handle."
Nevertheless, he was offered a faculty position in the sociology
department at the University of Toronto in May, 1974, which was
overruled by senior administrators. Then, a search committee
from the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education chose him
to fill a sociology department vacancy, but this, too, was vetoed
by a senior executive after education minister Thomas Wells telephoned
Ontario Institute for Studies in Education director Robert Jackson
to pass on negative comments about Prof.
SEELEY.
Amid student
and faculty protests, The Globe and Mail wrote an editorial asking
whether Mr. Wells had improperly influenced the decision.
Prof. SEELEY, by then 61, finished his academic career at Charles
Drew University of Medicine and Science in Los Angeles as a professor
of sociology. He finally received his doctorate (philosophy -
social sciences) from International College on January 15, 1975.
At 65, he retired and began a new career as a psychoanalyst in
private practice under a supervising analyst.
In his last years, he became a devout member of his local Episcopal
Church and maintained Friendships with family and Friends.
"It was a wonderful experience to be his child," Ron
SEELEY said.
"The breadth of his knowledge and his intellect were amazing.
It was interesting as he was ill and passing - you could feel
all of what he had distributed around the world coming back toward
him in letters, visits and phone calls, and so many of them said
the same thing: that he had touched their lives in a way that
nobody else had and that he was like a father to them."
John Ronald
SEELEY was born in London on February 21, 1913. He
died at Saint_John's Hospital in Santa Monica, California., on
December 16, 2007, after a short illness. He was 94. Predeceased
by his wife and his siblings, he is survived by four sons, six
grandchildren and extended family.
