Skulepedia was founded in 2010 and is intended to be a repository for all [[Skule]]&trade;-related information. It is a resource maintained by students and alumni of Skule&trade; who are proud to have gone through this great institution, with its rich traditions and history. Gathered here is a collection of stories and legends from the University of Toronto Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering over the years.<br />
<br />
The goal of Skulepedia is to comprehensively collect and organize information about Skule&trade; life, both as it happens and as re-told by alumni. <br />
<br />
We welcome the participation of all Skulemates and alumni to help us along the way. We are actively looking for historical material, from photos, films, publications, memorabilia and more to enrich our knowledge.<br />
<br />
Please feel free to edit and discuss pages as you see fit. If you have any questions, please direct them to the relevant Discussion pages, or e-mail the administrator at [mailto:admin@skulepedia.ca admin@skulepedia.ca].<br />

'''John Anderson Galbraith''' (1846-1914) was a Professor of Engineering at the [[Skule|School of Practical Science]] from its founding in 1878 until his death in 1914. He was the first Professor appointed to the School, and served as the [[Dean of Engineering]] of the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering after its merger into the University of Toronto from 1906 to 1914. He was widely remembered as the father of formal engineering education in Canada, and was widely respected for his technical expertise as well as his teaching.<br />
<br />
==Biography==<br />
===Family and Early Life===<br />
John Anderson Galbraith was born on September 5, 1846 in Montreal, Canada East. He was the son of an accountant, Thomas Galbraith (born 1822 in Coldstream, Berwickshire, Scotland), and Jane Galbraith (née Anderson). Thomas and Jane Galbraith had seven children, of whom John was the eldest. Of the seven, only four survived into adulthood - John, William (born 1848), Thomas (born 1849), and Jean (born 1851).<br />
<br />
The Galbraiths moved from Montreal to Port Hope (approximately 70 miles east of Toronto) in 1852, where Thomas Galbraith and his brother-in-law started a dry goods store. When his father later returned to Montreal (and later, New York) as a newspaper publisher, John stayed home to care for his siblings.<br />
<br />
John Galbraith was schooled at the Port Hope Grammar School, where he excelled in Mathematics, Latin, French, and Greek, among other subjects. In Port Hope, John Galbraith met George Stewart, a surveyor. Stewart taught John Galbraith the basics of conducting a survey, and gave Galbraith his first copy of Rankine's ''Civil Engineering''. <br />
<br />
===Education===<br />
Galbraith initially intended to attend McGill University in Montreal, where his father lived. However, by 1862, McGill had withdrawn the only engineering course they offered. The only alternative at the time was the University of Toronto. Although there was an engineering program at the university, this course (offered at University College) was not sufficient for a degree, as engineering was considered at the time to be a mere trade.<br />
<br />
While deciding what to do, Galbraith was introduced to John Cherriman, Professor of Mathematics, Physics and Natural Philosophy. Cherriman suggested to Galbraith that many other courses offered at the university would help in his aspirations to be an engineer. Thus, Galbraith enrolled in Arts, majoring in Mathematics, and also in Modern Languages and Natural Sciences. During the summers, he would return to Port Hope to conduct surveys with his friend George Stewart. <br />
<br />
Galbraith graduated in 1868 from University College with a Bachelor of Arts degree, winning the gold medal in Mathematics, first class honours in Modern Languages and Natural History, and the Prince of Wales Prize.<br />

<div>'''Skule&trade;''' is a [https://www.ic.gc.ca/app/opic-cipo/trdmrks/srch/viewTrademark?id=0496177&lang=eng&tab=reg&posNum=1 registered trademark] of the University of Toronto [[Engineering Society]]. The request was filed in December 1982, and officially registered on January 20, 1984. <br />
<br />
[[File:School_of_Practical_Science.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Front door of the "Old Skule House" with sign indicating the entrance to the School of Practical Science (SPS)]]<br />
The origins of the word Skule&trade; come from the ''School of Practical Science'' (SPS), which was the name of the engineering school at the University before it was officially absorbed as the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering. The name was engraved in a large lintel stone above the entrance of the old [[Skulehouse]]. Students referred to the SPS simply as "School", even long after the Faculty became a part of the University. <br />
<br />
The first recorded usage of the word ''Skule&trade;'' appeared in a 1943 School Nite programme, which listed the revue as "[[Skule Nite]]". From then on, a new era of spelling began. When asked, students often said that this was the "metric spelling" of 'School'.<br />
<br />
For several years, both ''School'' and ''Skule''&trade; were used in referring to the Engineering Faculty. The general rule of thumb was to use ''School'' for more formal occasions. Controversy surrounding the use of ''Skule'' continued for some time. Many thought that ''Skule'' was degrading to the old School of Practical Science. <br />
<br />
In 1966, the Schoolhouse was torn down to make room for the Medical Science Building, effectively removing the last link with SPS. After this, ''Skule'' was used almost exclusively.<br />
<br />
The lintel stone from the old Schoolhouse was moved to the Galbraith quadrangle by the class of 2T3 in 1967 "to commemorate the engineers who developed transportation, mines and industry in Canada and who received their professional training in the School of Practical Science". The stone was later moved into the lobby of Galbraith Building.<br />
<br />
'Skule&trade;' has since become strongly associated with the University of Toronto engineering experience, with references to Skule&trade; Life, Skule&trade; Alumni, Skulebook, etc. It is a unique symbol that University of Toronto engineering students and alumni can easily identify.<br />
<br />
==A Brief History of Skule&trade;==<br />
The University of Toronto Engineering Society's origins date back to the late 1800's. It was the year 1885 and Canada was about to get its first Engineering Society, the world would change forever. The first President was Professor John Galbraith, who served for 4 terms. Taking his place was H. E. T. Haultain, the first student president of the Engineering Society. The objectives of the Society according to the constitution were:<br />
<br />
The encouraging of original research in the Science of Engineering.<br />
The preservation of the results of such research.<br />
The dissemination of these results among its members.<br />
The cultivation of a spirit of mutual assistance among the members in the practice of the profession of engineering.<br />
Through the years these objectives have changed, and eventually found their way to the society that we know and love now. This being one that provides services for the students and speaks as a united voice for the undergraduate population. It should be noted that Haultian, later a professor, was the one who approached Kipling and saw the first Iron Ring ceremony take place in 1925.<br />
<br />
The Engineering Society is home to many traditions, most of which dating back many years. The colours blue and gold were selected to represent the society in the 1891-92 school year. The School Yell, which follows each firing of the Mighty Skule&trade; Cannon, originated in the year 1920. This is the first time "Toike Oike" (pronounced toy-kee-oyk) is seen, and the meaning is unknown. This later became the name of the School's election paper in 1910, eventually to become the infamous "official" humour newspaper of Skule&trade;. In 1979 this was complimented by the addition of "the Cannon", a serious newspaper that is still published by the Engineering Society.<br />
<br />
Perhaps one of the larger traditions of Skule&trade; started on March 2, 1921 at Massey Hall and was named "Ngynyrs in SPaSms". The show was extremely well received, and in the year 1923 it was moved to Hart House with ulterior motives. At the time, Hart House was only open to those of the male persuasion, and the move was an attempt to bring women into the great facilities. The show was only a small part of the evening, as almost the whole house was opened up for displays. This was known as "School Night", which became "School Nite" and eventually "Skule&trade; Nite" as it is known today. The spelling "Skule" originated in the 1943 School Nite programme. It took some time for this name to stick, as many felt that it degraded the name of the School of Practical Science. In 1966 the old schoolhouse, which bore the title "School of Practical Science" on the lintel stone, was the only remaining building from the SPS, was torn down to make room for the Medical Science Building. Even though the School was incorporated into the university in 1906 as the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering it took this last step to break the attachment with the name of the SPS. From this point forward Skule&trade; would be the name that was associated with U of T Engineering. It wasn't until the year 1984 that the Engineering Society gained ownership of this name, hence the "TM".<br />
<br />
Perhaps the most glorious traditions that those at Skule&trade; are proud to call their own is that of the Mighty Skule&trade; Cannon. Cannons were a part of life at SPS even before 1900, however the Society did not have its own Cannon until 1936. Much can be said about The Cannon, however that is beyond the scope of this history. All that is forgotten when one hears the Earth Shattering Ka-boom that is released every time our beloved Mascot is fired. It is a large part of our pride that although The Cannon has been stolen before, those outside the University of Toronto have never done it.<br />
<br />
Second in the Trilogy of great Skule&trade; symbols is the Lady Godiva Memorial Bnad. A. J. Paul La Praire, then Direktor of Kultural Aktivities, he undertook the duty of founding the LGMB. The ideals of the LGMB have changed little over the years, and as a result they have had a healthy following, which can be seen at various events across the University community and city. Membership is made up of those who show up, and practice is strictly forbidden.<br />
<br />
The third and final piece of the Skule&trade; triumvirate is the mythical Brute Force Committee, which I may add does not exist, never did exist, and never will exist. That said, the capers that they may or may not perform have no place in this history, and will no longer be talked about.<br />
<br />
The remaining aspects of the Engineering Society include a number of services that every student uses at some point in their trek towards the Iron Ring. Whether it be Engineering Stores, where students can buy Skule&trade; clothing, text books and supplies at the lowest prices around, or Suds, where they can enjoy a BEvERage or three with classmates on Friday afternoons, or the Skulebook that has all their memories preserved permanently. The Engineering Athletics Association, and other independent organizations work together to ensure that our short 4, 5 or 6 years at Skule&trade; are ones that we look back at fondly, and will continue to do so as long as problem sets are copied and projects are left to the last minute.<br />

The '''Bahen Centre for Information Technology''', located on 40 St. George Street, was completed in 2002 and serves as a "state of the art facility for education of information technology professionals in electrical and computer engineering, computer science and IT research." It was constructed at a cost of $111 million, and was designed by Diamond + Schmitt Architects Incorporated. The building is home to the [[EngSci Club|Division of Engineering Science]] and is adjoined to the Koffler Centre on the south, which houses the U of T Bookstore and U of T Career Centre, and 44 St. George St. on the north, a historic house-like building that currently contains the Office of the Dean (and formerly the [[PEY|Professional Experience Year]] office). It also houses computer labs for the computer science and [[ECE]] departments.<br />

==Structure and Design==<br />
The Bahen Centre was built on the site of several historic buildings south of Russell Street, and adjacent to the preexisting Koffler Student Centre, whose exterior brick wall became an interior feature of the new building. One of the historic buildings (44 St. George Street) was to be moved to a new location, but was instead incorporated into the design by the architects.<br />
<br />
The facility is 20,000 gross square metres and has been praised for its sustainability in design. Many elements of the Bahen Centre contribute its overall sustainability. The building uses excess steam from the neighbouring U of T steam plant to provide 92% of its total heating needs and sun-shading devices along both the east and south sides of the building reduce the amount of cooling needed during the summer months. In addition, careful space planning allows for the labs of the computer science and [[ECE|Electrical and Computer Engineering]] departments to face the coolest wall (north) to provide relief from the heat created by the large numbers of computers.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The Bahen Centre was constructed to meet the growing needs of the university's computer science and electrical and computer engineering programs, as the university doubled the size and funding of the programs. The building is named after engineer John Bahen (Civ 5T4), former president of Kiewit Corporation, who made a significant gift to support the project. Other sources of private funding included Jeffrey Skoll, the engineering class of 4T5, and companies including Nortel Networks, Bell Canada, and Motorola, who have named research labs in the building.<br />
<br />
The facility contains 50 laboratories, 10 lecture theatres, 13 tutorial rooms, 9 seminar rooms, and about 300 offices. The building was officially opened on October 8, 2002, after opening in the summer of 2002. The sixth floor, however, was finished only in August 2005 and the Department of Mathematics (and the Mathematics Library) moved in.<br />

<hr />
<div>=Professional Experience Year=<br />
The '''Professional Experience Year''', otherwise known as PEY, is an optional co-op program in which current undergraduate students can undertake a 12 to 16 month work term after their 2nd or 3rd year of their education. For the duration of this period, students are working as full-time employees and earning salaries, while gaining valuable experience in the field. While working, students are able to retain full-time student status at the university, and can apply to retain interest-free status on student loans if they have any. The [https://engineeringcareers.utoronto.ca/ Engineering Career Centre] manages the program and is the point of contact between students/employers and the university.<br />
<br />
==Engineering Students==<br />
Many engineers choose to go on PEY for the salary and the experience that they gain; however, they are not considered active students during that year. As such, they must have their graduating year pushed forward according to the length of their work term. Students on PEY can add '+ PEY' to the end of their discipline and year; this is a widespread practice to signify which students will graduate a year late.<br />
<br />
Many local and international companies offer jobs to UofT students for PEY. Well-known brands include Apple, Tesla, Proctor & Gamble, IBM, BMW, Shell, and Microsoft.</div>Seeratrehmanhttps://skulepedia.ca/w/index.php?title=Bahen_Centre_for_Information_Technology&diff=6129Bahen Centre for Information Technology2020-01-19T16:41:25Z<p>Seeratrehman: </p>

[[Category:Buildings]]</div>Seeratrehmanhttps://skulepedia.ca/w/index.php?title=The_Little_Red_Skulehouse&diff=6098The Little Red Skulehouse2020-01-19T16:00:49Z<p>Seeratrehman: </p>
<hr />
<div>[[File:Skulehouse_1904.jpg|250px|thumb|right|The Little Red Skulehouse, c.1904]]<br />
Built in 1878, the School of Practical Science building, known colloquially as 'The Little Red Skulehouse', was the original home of the School, later merged into the University of Toronto as the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering. It was demolished in 1966 to make way for the Medical Sciences Building.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
These days, if you were to ask an engineering student where the centre of their non-academic life at the University of Toronto is, most would reply that it is the Atrium of the [[Sandford Fleming Building]], otherwise known as [[The Pit]]. In days gone by, however, the answer would unanimously have been the red Skulehouse, which used to occupy the site that the Medical Sciences Building now occupies. If you were to talk to a student about the Skulehouse, however, many of them would likely return a quizzical look, as if they had never heard of the building. Unfortunately, the significance of the Skulehouse to the average engineering student has been lost over the years. As it currently stands, the only reference that many students will likely read or hear about the little red Skulehouse is the verse of [[Godiva's Hymn]] that refers to it.<br />
<br />
The Skulehouse was not only the centre of the engineering social life, but also the centre of academics, the administration, and the [[Engineering Society]]. It was built in 1878, and it was at this time that the School of Practical Science (SPS) formally became part of the University (it became the “Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering” in 1906). Before this, SPS and its predecessor, the College of Technology, had been located at the corner of Church and Adelaide Streets in the thick of downtown Toronto, housed in the Mechanic’s Institute. Originally, an arrangement had been set up to allow SPS the use of University College’s library and facilities, but it proved to be too great a distance for such an arrangement. Due to this, the provincial government at the time sold the original home of SPS and went to work creating a home for SPS on the university grounds.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Skulehouse_1880s.jpg|180px|left|thumb|Skulehouse in the 1880s prior to expansion]]<br />
The Skulehouse was a three-story building, designed by architect Kivas Tully, known for being the architect behind Trinity College, located on the north edge of campus. It was built in two phases: the original northern third of the building was completed in 1878. The remaining two-thirds of the Skulehouse were started in 1889, and included the tower that gave it a unique look. For 88 years the Skulehouse would be the pride and joy of the engineering Faculty. While it was formally the "Engineering Building", it was often referred to as “the little red Skulehouse”. Prior to the Second World War, it had always been spelled Schoolhouse; but afterwards, ‘Skulehouse’ was substituted into the name, around the same time that a portion of the student body began to refer to themselves as members of Skule&trade; (although the name would not be trademarked by the Engineering Society until 1984).<br />
<br />
The Skulehouse played several important roles in the shaping of engineering at the University, both in the past and presently. The Engineering Society elections were held within its walls, with many yells and cheers sounding down its hallways on election night. It was also the home of the gauntlet, which an engineer had to run before they were allowed to cast their vote in the EngSoc elections. The orientation of F!rosh (or Freshman, as they were called during the Skulehouse days) also took place, with the first years entering the Skulehouse through the basement doors. And the name [[Toike Oike]] (pronounced “Toi-kee Oike”) had its humble beginnings within the walls of the building, with the reported source of the name being an Irish janitor of the Skulehouse. When a student was working in one of the labs of the Skulehouse and it came time to lockup, the janitor would tell them to “take a hike”. Thanks to his accent, however, it sounded like 'toike oike', and for that he has been immortalized in the history of Skule&trade;. Finally, Freshman were constantly reminded of their position in SPS; they were barred from using the eastern entrance to the building!<br />
<br />
==Demolition of the Skulehouse==<br />
[[Image:Skulehouse_demolition_1967.jpg|250px|thumb|right|Demolition of the Skulehouse in January 1967]]<br />
Unfortunately, the Skulehouse was unable to stand the test of time and became a victim of progress. In 1961, the [[Galbraith Building]] was opened and became the new headquarters for the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering, and in 1967 the Sandford Fleming Building was acquired from Physics. Due to these two events, engineering was forced to bid farewell to the little red Skulehouse in 1966, as it was torn down to make way for the new Medical Sciences Building. Around the same time, the name Skule&trade; came into full use, replacing the School of Practical Science, which had been closely associated with the Skulehouse.<br />
<br />
The Skulehouse did make one final appearance after it had been torn down, however. In 1973, Hart House held the Centennial Ball commemorating the Faculty’s centennial. It was here that the Skulehouse made its final stand, albeit as a cardboard replica that spanned an entire wall in Hart House’s Great Hall. Two pieces of the Skulehouse have been saved, however. The Galbraith Building lobby is home to both of these mementos of the past.<br />
<br />
The first is the stone facade that is inscribed with “School of Practical Science”, which was built into the wall northern wall of the Galbraith lobby. It originally was located above the arch of the north entrance to the Skulehouse. The second piece that remains of the Skulehouse is not as obvious as the stone façade, however. It is the terra-cotta and sandstone frieze that used to be above another entrance of the Skulehouse. The intricately designed, 14-foot frieze now resides at the main entrance to the Galbraith Building, embedded into the north wall.<br />
<br />
While the history of the Skulehouse does not stand out in the same way that the history of the Mighty Skule&trade; Cannon does, it is nevertheless part of the great engineering tradition. And like our other many traditions, we should not cast its role in our history to the side by forgetting the impact it had on shaping the Faculty we see before us now.<br />

'''John Anderson Galbraith''' (1846-1914) was a Professor of Engineering at the [[Skule|School of Practical Science]] from its founding in 1878 until his death in 1914. He was the first Professor appointed to the School, and served as the [[Dean of Engineering]] of the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering after its merger into the University of Toronto from 1906 to 1914. He was widely remembered as the father of formal engineering education in Canada, and was widely respected for his technical expertise as well as his teaching.<br />
<br />
==Biography==<br />
===Family and Early Life===<br />
John Anderson Galbraith was born on September 5, 1846 in Montreal, Canada East. He was the son of an accountant, Thomas Galbraith (born 1822 in Coldstream, Berwickshire, Scotland), and Jane Galbraith (née Anderson). Thomas and Jane Galbraith had seven children, of whom John was the eldest. Of the seven, only four survived into adulthood - John, William (born 1848), Thomas (born 1849), and Jean (born 1851).<br />
<br />
The Galbraiths moved from Montreal to Port Hope (approximately 70 miles east of Toronto) in 1852, where Thomas Galbraith and his brother-in-law started a dry goods store. When his father later returned to Montreal (and later, New York) as a newspaper publisher, John stayed home to care for his siblings.<br />
<br />
John Galbraith was schooled at the Port Hope Grammar School, where he excelled in Mathematics, Latin, French, and Greek, among other subjects. In Port Hope, John Galbraith met George Stewart, a surveyor. Stewart taught John Galbraith the basics of conducting a survey, and gave Galbraith his first copy of Rankine's ''Civil Engineering''. <br />
<br />
===Education===<br />
Galbraith initially intended to attend McGill University in Montreal, where his father lived. However, by 1862, McGill had withdrawn the only engineering course they offered. The only alternative at the time was the University of Toronto. Although there was an engineering program at the university, this course (offered at University College) was not sufficient for a degree, as engineering was considered at the time to be a mere trade.<br />
<br />
While deciding what to do, Galbraith was introduced to John Cherriman, Professor of Mathematics, Physics and Natural Philosophy. Cherriman suggested to Galbraith that many other courses offered at the university would help in his aspirations to be an engineer. Thus, Galbraith enrolled in Arts, majoring in Mathematics, and also in Modern Languages and Natural Sciences. During the summers, he would return to Port Hope to conduct surveys with his friend George Stewart. <br />
<br />
Galbraith graduated in 1868 from University College with a Bachelor of Arts degree, winning the gold medal in Mathematics, first class honours in Modern Languages and Natural History, and the Prince of Wales Prize.<br />

'''John Anderson Galbraith''' (1846-1914) was a Professor of Engineering at the [[Skule|School of Practical Science]] from its founding in 1878 until his death in 1914. He was the first Professor appointed to the School, and served as the [[Dean of Engineering]] of the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering after its merger into the University of Toronto from 1906 to 1914. He was widely remembered as the father of formal engineering education in Canada, and was widely respected for his technical expertise as well as his teaching.<br />
<br />
==Biography==<br />
===Family and Early Life===<br />
John Anderson Galbraith was born on September 5, 1846 in Montreal, Canada East. He was the son of an accountant, Thomas Galbraith (born 1822 in Coldstream, Berwickshire, Scotland), and Jane Galbraith (née Anderson). Thomas and Jane Galbraith had seven children, of whom John was the eldest. Of the seven, only four survived into adulthood - John, William (born 1848), Thomas (born 1849), and Jean (born 1851).<br />
<br />
The Galbraiths moved from Montreal to Port Hope (approximately 70 miles east of Toronto) in 1852, where Thomas Galbraith and his brother-in-law started a dry goods store. When his father later returned to Montreal (and later, New York) as a newspaper publisher, John stayed home to care for his siblings.<br />
<br />
John Galbraith was schooled at the Port Hope Grammar School, where he excelled in Mathematics, Latin, French, and Greek, among other subjects. In Port Hope, John Galbraith met George Stewart, a surveyor. Stewart taught John Galbraith the basics of conducting a survey, and gave Galbraith his first copy of Rankine's ''Civil Engineering''. <br />
<br />
===Education===<br />
Galbraith initially intended to attend McGill University in Montreal, where his father lived. However, by 1862, McGill had withdrawn the only engineering course they offered. The only alternative at the time was the University of Toronto. Although there was an engineering program at the university, this course (offered at University College) was not sufficient for a degree, as engineering was considered at the time to be a mere trade.<br />
<br />
While deciding what to do, Galbraith was introduced to John Cherriman, Professor of Mathematics, Physics and Natural Philosophy. Cherriman suggested to Galbraith that many other courses offered at the university would help in his aspirations to be an engineer. Thus, Galbraith enrolled in Arts, majoring in Mathematics, and also in Modern Languages and Natural Sciences. During the summers, he would return to Port Hope to conduct surveys with his friend George Stewart. <br />
<br />
Galbraith graduated in 1868 from University College with a Bachelor of Arts degree, winning the gold medal in Mathematics, first class honours in Modern Languages and Natural History, and the Prince of Wales Prize.<br />

'''A.J. Paul LaPrairie''', [[Min Club|Mining Engineering]] 5T0, is a historically important alumnus of Skule&trade;. He is most famous for being the founder of the [[Lady Godiva Memorial Bnad]] as well as the infamous University College Gargoyle swap. As the ''Direktor of Kultural Aktivities'' - a combination of the modern day [[VP Student Life]] and [[Blue & Gold Committee]] Chair - he was also responsible as the protector of the [[Skule Cannon]] and as head of the [[Brute Force Committee]].<br />
<br />
==Life before Skule&trade;==<br />
A.J. Paul LaPrairie was born to a family of 6 brothers and 1 sister, whom would all eventually graduate from Mining Engineering or Mining Geology at the University of Toronto.<br />
<br />
LaPrairie served six years overseas with the Irish Regiment of Canada (part of the Fifth Canadian Armoured Division) during the Second World War. LaPrairie reached the rank of Major during his tour of duty.<br />
<br />
Notably, he was the Battle Second in Command with his Regiment, and was chiefly responsible for working out all details of attacks. He participated in several battles in Holland near the end of WWII, and personally negotiated the surrender of a German unit stationed near Weiward, taking 38 German Officers and 1386 others as prisoners.<br />
<br />
He was awarded the Distinguished Service Order for his actions.<br />
<br />
LaPrairie recounted his war experiences in a letter to his brother, George, in 2001:<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
<br />
{| style="width:75%; background:#fff; margin:0; padding:10px; border:1px solid #DDD; background-color:#F9F9F9;" <br />
| style="width:100%; vertical-align:top;" |<br />
Dear George...<br />
:You asked me for information on my visits to Holland. I was there, first, during the War. Then, Jean and I made two trips on our own. Later I led about six group trips to Holland, and as many to Italy.<br />
<br />
:In 1945 The Irish Regiment of Canada, as part of The Fifth Canadian Armoured Division, finished its tour of duty in Italy. I was in the hospital with jaundice when the Regiment left for Holland. That jaundice seemed to be a common ailment because of the unsanitary conditions through the country.<br />
<br />
:Then, after my stay in the hospital I was in charge of the re-inforcement depot. We sailed from Naples to Marsailles. The rail trip up through France was very scenic. We were all in boxcars, but I took over in a rooftop caboose.<br />
<br />
:Our regiment started its battle action in Holland, on Nijmegan Island, near Arnhem. They crossed on the famous pontoon bridge. There were minor skirmishes and the division moved up toward Otterloo. On April 11th the Germans who had been cut off in their retreat attacked our Division and our Battalion Headquarters. Our flame-throwers went into action and stopped the attack. This was a tremendous victory for us. The corporal in charge of the flame-throwers, "Red" Asselstine, received the Distinguished Conduct Medal.<br />
<br />
:I rejoined my Regiment there and was posted as the Battle Second in Command. That is, I stayed near the Lieut-Col. (Commanding Officer) at Tactical Headquarters. Should he have become a casualty or been away at Bridge Headquarters, I would take over.<br />
<br />
:The next day we advanced on Ermelo and took 105 prisoners from the 6th German Parachute Division. The People of Ermelo were wonderful in their reception of us. I have been back there often and have had continuing receptions from the people and their Burgomasters. I also have friends there with whom I correspond regularly.<br />
<br />
:We then moved on and up to the Joure-Sneek area. On April 23rd we took over from the Canadian Scottish Regiment, of the 3rd Canadian Division, east of Groningen.<br />
<br />
:On April 28th we started to move toward Delfzijl. The Germans had used this port town to bring their supply ships across the Ems river, from Germany. We had brief bits of fighting here and there and moved up to Heveskes.<br />
<br />
:As Battle2i/c it was my job to work out the details of an attack, with heavy artillery support, to move through Weiward and seize a key bridge, before the enemy could destroy it. Our tanks were supposed to cross this bridge at daylight. The bridge was the only way that our tanks could cross some swampy ground and the river.<br />
<br />
:On the morning of May 2nd, A Company was supposed to lead the attack. Unfortunately, A Company had gone through some terrible actions. There where only eighteen men left, of an establishment of one hundred and twenty-seven. The Company Commander was also a casualty. So, being the one who made the plan of attack, I took over. We went ahead with what is called a creeping box barrage of artillery. Shells were falling to each side of us and in front. As we advanced, the shells fell farther in front. This barrage was to keep down enemy infantry. Then, there was a dog-leg. We followed the road with a sharp left turn, with the artillery changing too.<br />
<br />
:When we reached the bridge two sections of our troops ran across and the third section stayed at the near end. Then I saw two men, whom I thought we our troops checking for mines on the bridge. They where Germans putting in mines. That was the end of their activity.<br />
<br />
:As daylight came I could see around. There were huge artillery placements. Then I saw a long stairway going down into the ground. My Batman, of Polish origin, could speak German. Some prisoners told him that was the big headquarters.<br />
<br />
:So, for some reason, I wanted to go down. God must have been on my side. For some reason I decided to take off my steel helmet and put on my Green Bonnet. To do so I had to put my revolver in its holster, which was under my loose camouflage jacket. Then, I put the steel helmet in the rear pouch of the jacket.<br />
<br />
:Down the steps I went into a large room with telephones and radios and staff people sitting at the desks. At the bottom of the stairs was a German soldier pointing a sub-machine gun at me. However, I was not carrying a weapon and was not wearing a steel helmet. A senior officer who spoke English came forward. I told him that I wanted to talk to his Commanding Officer, and was brought to Korvet Kapitan Von Walters (Major General). I told him unless he surrendered his troops, our artillery bombardment would start again. Through his interpreter he said that enough of his men had been killed, and gave the order for the radio and telephone operators to issue a cease fire order. We then took 38 Officers and 1386 Other ranks as prisoners.<br />
<br />
:As a matter of interest, I took the Korvet Kapitan back to Brigade Headquarters. Our Brigade Intelligence Officer spoke german and questioned him. Then, the Korvet Kapitan pointed at me and asked the I.O. what my rank was. I was still in my camouflage coverall. I thought that he was being a bit uppity, wanting to make sure that he, of senior rank, had been captured by a senior Officer. I told the I.O. to tell him that I was a Boy Scout, and left. I was awarded my Distinguished Service Order for this adventure.<br />
<br />
:That was the end of the war for us. On the 5th of May, all of the Germans in Holland surrendered.<br />

<br />
==Return to Skule&trade;==<br />
Like many war veterans, LaPrairie returned home to Canada to attend university. He entered the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering at the University of Toronto in 1946, and attended school at the [[Ajax Campus]] with the class of returning veterans. He spent two years at Ajax with his fellow students, and returned to the St. George Campus in the fall of 1948.<br />
<br />
LaPrairie was widely involved in student life at Skule&trade;. He appointed himself as the "Direktor of Kultural Aktivities", an executive position in the Engineering Society. This position has a present day equivalent (in terms of function) of the [[Blue & Gold Committee]] Chair, the Chief of the [[Brute Force Committee]], and the [[Chief Attiliator]] all rolled into one.<br />
<br />
==Lady Godiva Memorial Bnad==<br />
''See also: [[Lady Godiva Memorial Bnad]]''<br />
<br />
During LaPrairie's time at Ajax, he came to the conclusion that a 'regimental' band was in order. He decided to personally undertake the task as the Direktor of Kultural Aktivities. At the time, he was still active in the Militia, and through his contacts in the Irish Regiment, he acquired the necessary equipment for what would become a world-famous band.<br />
<br />
Scrounging through Fort York, the University Avenue and Fleet Street Armouries and the Sally Ann at Church and King Streets, he turned up a collection of Irish regiments' red tunics, some pith helmets, six Dragoon's brass helmets, a set of cymbals, a drummer's leopard skin, two tenor snare drums, a drum major's baton, and most importantly, a bass drum with one head (the open side was used to stockpile beer while "on parade" - a tradition that occasionally re-appears in the present day).<br />
<br />
The Band was founded some time in the calendar year 1949 - although the exact Skule year, '48-'49 or '49-'50, is unclear. They were first pictured in the 5T0 Yearbook, although Paul LaPrairie recounts the first events during the fall of 1948.<br />
<br />
In any event, the first rehearsal fielded about a dozen people from all years consisting of trumpets, trombones, saxophones, clarinets, one flute, two snare drums, and the bass drum - a 'motley' group at best. <br />
<br />
During the second practice, it was discovered that LaPrairie could not read music, and he was 'demoted' to bass drummer, while Tom Kenney became the leader for the '49-'50 Skule year.<br />
<br />
The name of the Band was decided at a group session of the Engineering Society. The Lady Godiva Band was agreed upon by the group - but Bill Walker (later President of the Engineering Society) suggested the word "Memorial", and the name Lady Godiva Memorial Band stuck.<br />
<br />
A.J. Paul LaPrairie recounted a particularly humorous episode of the LGMB in 1950. During a big football game at Varsity Stadium, the LGMB marched through the gates and onto the field. All the while, they were wearing great big moustaches. When they approached the fifty yard line, he noticed Sidney Smith, President of the University of Toronto, sitting in the front row. LaPrairie offered him a moustache, which he promptly put on. Thus, the LGMB made President Smith an Honorary Member of the LGMB.<br />
<br />
A.J. Paul LaPrairie passed away in the early 2000's. Several members of the LGMB attended the funeral and gave him a suitable send off.<br />
<br />
==Skule&trade; Cannon and the UC Gargoyle Swap==<br />
<br />
LaPrairie was also responsible for the Skule Cannon during his time as an Engineering Society executive. During his term, one notable event happened when the Cannon was stolen by University College. <br />
<br />
He recounts this story as follows:<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
{| style="width:75%; background:#fff; margin:0; padding:10px; border:1px solid #DDD; background-color:#F9F9F9;" <br />
| style="width:100%; vertical-align:top;" |<br />
:Somehow, someone from University College managed to steal the Cannon. This was not the first time that the Cannon had gone missing and it was fair game. However, there were no rules about how to get it back. At a meeting of the Executive of The Engineering Society, the responsibility for its recovery was given to me.<br />
<br />
:Now, I had been an infantry officer and had commanded an infantry battalion in action on several occasions. So, why not try some infantry tactics? Warning was given to U.C. that the Engineers would attack. We assembled on the Main Campus in front of their main door.<br />
<br />
:In the meantime, Sol Friendly (Mech) and a couple of his helpers were dressed as construction men. They had entered U.C. by a side door and set up proper construction barricades around the main staircase. They carefully removed the wooden gargoyle from the newel post on the stairway. The gargoyle was then spirited away by two Physio Therapy students.<br />
<br />
:When word got out that the famous gargoyle was missing I was summoned to Dean Young and then to President Sidney Smith. I assured them that the gargoyle had come to no harm and would be exchanged for the Skule&trade; Cannon.<br />
<br />
:So, a truce was arranged and a promise made to exchange the gargoyle for our Skule&trade; Cannon, on the Front Campus. The Cannon was duly handed over. Then I poured out a bag of sawdust, supposedly the remains of the gargoyle. In the meantime, Sol Friendly and his crew had again put up the construction barriers and had replaced the gargoyle.<br />

<br />
This story was also repeated in an interview for the special edition Skule&trade; [[Skule Cannon|Cannon]] DVD, ''Smoke and Thunder''. A version of it can be viewed online on [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8olbA9i-9nI YouTube].<br />

In any event, the first rehearsal fielded about a dozen people from all years consisting of trumpets, trombones, saxophones, clarinets, one flute, two snare drums, and the bass drum - a 'motley' group at best. <br />
<br />
During the second practice, it was discovered that LaPrairie could not read music, and he was 'demoted' to bass drummer, while Tom Kenney became the leader for the '49-'50 Skule year.<br />
<br />
The name of the Band was decided at a group session of the Engineering Society. The Lady Godiva Band was agreed upon by the group - but Bill Walker (later President of the Engineering Society) suggested the word "Memorial", and the name Lady Godiva Memorial Band stuck.<br />
<br />
A.J. Paul LaPrairie recounted a particularly humorous episode of the LGMB in 1950. During a big football game at Varsity Stadium, the LGMB marched through the gates and onto the field. All the while, they were wearing great big moustaches. When they approached the fifty yard line, he noticed Sidney Smith, President of the University of Toronto, sitting in the front row. LaPrairie offered him a moustache, which he promptly put on. Thus, the LGMB made President Smith an Honorary Member of the LGMB.<br />
<br />
*Much Support needed in this paragraph* A.J. Paul LaPrairie passed away in the early 2000's. Several members of the LGMB attended the funeral and gave him a suitable send off.<br />
<br />
==Skule&trade; Cannon and the UC Gargoyle Swap==<br />
<br />
LaPrairie was also responsible for the Skule Cannon during his time as an Engineering Society executive. During his term, one notable event happened when the Cannon was stolen by University College. <br />
<br />
He recounts this story as follows:<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
{| style="width:75%; background:#fff; margin:0; padding:10px; border:1px solid #DDD; background-color:#F9F9F9;" <br />
| style="width:100%; vertical-align:top;" |<br />
:Somehow, someone from University College managed to steal the Cannon. This was not the first time that the Cannon had gone missing and it was fair game. However, there were no rules about how to get it back. At a meeting of the Executive of The Engineering Society, the responsibility for its recovery was given to me.<br />
<br />
:Now, I had been an infantry officer and had commanded an infantry battalion in action on several occasions. So, why not try some infantry tactics? Warning was given to U.C. that the Engineers would attack. We assembled on the Main Campus in front of their main door.<br />
<br />
:In the meantime, Sol Friendly (Mech) and a couple of his helpers were dressed as construction men. They had entered U.C. by a side door and set up proper construction barricades around the main staircase. They carefully removed the wooden gargoyle from the newel post on the stairway. The gargoyle was then spirited away by two Physio Therapy students.<br />
<br />
:When word got out that the famous gargoyle was missing I was summoned to Dean Young and then to President Sidney Smith. I assured them that the gargoyle had come to no harm and would be exchanged for the Skule&trade; Cannon.<br />
<br />
:So, a truce was arranged and a promise made to exchange the gargoyle for our Skule&trade; Cannon, on the Front Campus. The Cannon was duly handed over. Then I poured out a bag of sawdust, supposedly the remains of the gargoyle. In the meantime, Sol Friendly and his crew had again put up the construction barriers and had replaced the gargoyle.<br />

<br />
This story was also repeated in an interview for the special edition Skule&trade; Cannon DVD, ''[[Smoke and Thunder]]''. A version of it can be viewed online at [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8olbA9i-9nI YouTube].<br />

<hr />
<div>[[File:Skulehouse_1904.jpg|250px|thumb|right|The Little Red Skulehouse, c.1904]]<br />
Built in 1878, the School of Practical Science building, known colloquially as 'The Little Red Skulehouse', was the original home of the School, later merged into the University of Toronto as the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering. It was demolished in 1966 to make way for the Medical Sciences Building.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
These days, if you were to ask an engineering student where the centre of their non-academic life at the University of Toronto is, most would reply that it is the Atrium of the [[Sandford Fleming Building]], otherwise known as [[The Pit]]. In days gone by, however, the answer would unanimously have been the red Skulehouse, which used to occupy the site that the Medical Sciences Building now occupies. If you were to talk to a student about the Skulehouse, however, many of them would likely return a quizzical look, as if they had never heard of the building. Unfortunately, the significance of the Skulehouse to the average engineering student has been lost over the years. As it currently stands, the only reference that many students will likely read or hear about the little red Skulehouse is the verse of [[Godiva's Hymn]] that refers to it.<br />
<br />
The Skulehouse was not only the centre of the engineering social life, but also the centre of academics, the administration, and the [[Engineering Society]]. It was built in 1878, and it was at this time that the School of Practical Science (SPS) formally became part of the University (it became the “Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering” in 1906). Before this, SPS and its predecessor, the College of Technology, had been located at the corner of Church and Adelaide Streets in the thick of downtown Toronto, housed in the Mechanic’s Institute. Originally, an arrangement had been set up to allow SPS the use of University College’s library and facilities, but it proved to be too great a distance for such an arrangement. Due to this, the provincial government at the time sold the original home of SPS and went to work creating a home for SPS on the university grounds.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Skulehouse_1880s.jpg|180px|left|thumb|Skulehouse in the 1880s prior to expansion]]<br />
The Skulehouse was a three-story building, designed by architect Kivas Tully, known for being the architect behind [[Trinity College]]. It was built in two phases: the original northern third of the building was completed in 1878. The remaining two-thirds of the Skulehouse were started in 1889, and included the tower that gave it a unique look. For 88 years the Skulehouse would be the pride and joy of the engineering Faculty. While it was formally the "Engineering Building", it was often referred to as “the little red Skulehouse”. Prior to the Second World War, it had always been spelled Schoolhouse; but afterwards, ‘Skulehouse’ was substituted into the name, around the same time that a portion of the student body began to refer to themselves as members of Skule&trade; (although the name would not be trademarked by the Engineering Society until 1984).<br />
<br />
The Skulehouse played several important roles in the shaping of engineering at the University, both in the past and presently. The Engineering Society elections were held within its walls, with many yells and cheers sounding down its hallways on election night. It was also the home of the gauntlet, which an engineer had to run before they were allowed to cast their vote in the EngSoc elections. The orientation of F!rosh (or Freshman, as they were called during the Skulehouse days) also took place, with the first years entering the Skulehouse through the basement doors. And the name [[Toike Oike]] (pronounced “Toi-kee Oike”) had its humble beginnings within the walls of the building, with the reported source of the name being an Irish janitor of the Skulehouse. When a student was working in one of the labs of the Skulehouse and it came time to lockup, the janitor would tell them to “take a hike”. Thanks to his accent, however, it sounded like 'toike oike', and for that he has been immortalized in the history of Skule&trade;. Finally, Freshman were constantly reminded of their position in SPS; they were barred from using the eastern entrance to the building!<br />
<br />
==Demolition of the Skulehouse==<br />
[[Image:Skulehouse_demolition_1967.jpg|250px|thumb|right|Demolition of the Skulehouse in January 1967]]<br />
Unfortunately, the Skulehouse was unable to stand the test of time and became a victim of progress. In 1961, the [[Galbraith Building]] was opened and became the new headquarters for the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering, and in 1967 the Sandford Fleming Building was acquired from Physics. Due to these two events, engineering was forced to bid farewell to the little red Skulehouse in 1966, as it was torn down to make way for the new Medical Sciences Building. Around the same time, the name Skule&trade; came into full use, replacing the School of Practical Science, which had been closely associated with the Skulehouse.<br />
<br />
The Skulehouse did make one final appearance after it had been torn down, however. In 1973, Hart House held the Centennial Ball commemorating the Faculty’s centennial. It was here that the Skulehouse made its final stand, albeit as a cardboard replica that spanned an entire wall in Hart House’s Great Hall. Two pieces of the Skulehouse have been saved, however. The Galbraith Building lobby is home to both of these mementos of the past.<br />
<br />
The first is the stone facade that is inscribed with “School of Practical Science”, which was built into the wall northern wall of the Galbraith lobby. It originally was located above the arch of the north entrance to the Skulehouse. The second piece that remains of the Skulehouse is not as obvious as the stone façade, however. It is the terra-cotta and sandstone frieze that used to be above another entrance of the Skulehouse. The intricately designed, 14-foot frieze now resides at the main entrance to the Galbraith Building, embedded into the north wall.<br />
<br />
While the history of the Skulehouse does not stand out in the same way that the history of the Mighty Skule&trade; Cannon does, it is nevertheless part of the great engineering tradition. And like our other many traditions, we should not cast its role in our history to the side by forgetting the impact it had on shaping the Faculty we see before us now.<br />
