The Faculty of Arts is the largest faculty of the University of Calgary.[1] It is also one of the University's founding faculties, along with commerce, education, engineering, graduate studies, science, and physical education. The official establishment of the current Faculty of Arts was in 2010, following the amalgamation of the four former Faculties of Communication and Culture, Fine Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences.[2] However, the Faculty was originally founded under the mixed Faculty of Arts and Science banner in 1951.[3] This curious measure of dates makes the Faculty of Arts one of the oldest and one of the youngest Faculties simultaneously, depending on where one counts. Since then, the Faculty of Arts has expanded to become one of the University's most comprehensive and interdisciplinary faculties, incorporating fields from the humanities, fine arts, and social sciences.
Due to its extensive nature, the Faculty is housed in various buildings throughout the main campus. The Faculty currently has more than 7,100 undergraduate students with more than 725 graduate students.[1] The student population is overseen by 378 academic faculty members with the aid of 132 administrative and support staff.[1] Since 1966, the Faculty has produced 10 Canada Research Chairs,[1] 20 fellows of the Royal Society of Canada,[4] and well over 46,000 alumni throughout the world.[1]
The current Dean of the Faculty is Richard Sigurdson who was appointed on 1 August 2012.[5] Dr. Sigurdson holds a doctorate degree in Political Science from the University of Toronto, where his main topics of research included Canadian politics, immigration, First Nations peoples, and multiculturalism.[5] Prior to becoming Dean to the University of Calgary, he was the Dean for the Faculty of Arts and Acting Provost of University College at the University of Manitoba, where he also held the Duff Roblin Professorship of Government[5]
History

The Faculty of Arts can trace its history back to 1905, when the Calgary Normal School was established as a vocational school for teaching.[7][8] The School would later branch out and begin to offer introductory courses from the arts, sciences, engineering, and commerce.[9] The School later expanded in 1945, when it became an extension of the University of Alberta Faculty of Education. During this time, Calgary had become the largest Canadian city without a home-grown University. Calgarians became determined to change that fact, and formed the University Committee as a tool to accelerate the effort to transform the Calgary branch into a full-fledged University.[8] In 1951, the Calgary branch started to offer first-year Bachelor of Arts and Sciences programmes under the newly established Faculty of Arts and Sciences.[3][8] In 1960 the Calgary branch, known then as the University of Alberta in Calgary (UAC), had moved from its original location on the current SAIT campus, to its current location near University Heights.[3] The new campus in the same year, introduced the Arts and Education (present-day Administration)[6] and Science and Engineering (present-day Science A)[10] buildings, to provide instructional courses for the "soft and hard sciences"[10] respectively.

Establishing the University of Calgary
The first wave of construction conducted throughout early 1960s reignited conversations among students and citizens about the future of UAC with respect to the main campus in Edmonton. On 8 November 1963, a massive student protest dubbed "the Great Autonomy Demonstration of '63"[12] occurred during a UAC Board of Governor's meeting,[13][14] where protesters demanded autonomy for the budding UAC. The demonstration featured a headless mannequin with the words "Give UAC her head"[15] and an engineering cog wheel with the words "Autonomy 196?.[16][17]" This secessionist movement would be realised in 1966, when the Universities Act was passed, which declared the University of Calgary an autonomous institution from the University of Alberta.[18] The resulting provincial Act granted the University full academic, financial, and administrative independence. In the same year, the Calgary Hall (renamed Craigie Hall) was officially open, which gave space to the University's diverse humanities and preforming arts departments.[11] Concurrently, the University became a trustee of the Banff School of Fine Arts,[19] previously a satellite to the University of Alberta. The Banff School would remain an affiliated body to the University's fine arts departments until 1978,[8] when it became an autonomous institution from the University. In 1967, the Faculty of Fine Arts was established, incorporating the departments of dance, drama, music, and visual arts.[8] Shortly after, the highly anticipated Social Sciences building reached completion in 1969.[20] The brutalist tower would become home to the University's various social science departments.
The University experienced a rapid period of growth just five years into autonomy. The University had introduced the newly built Earth Sciences building in 1972,[21] housing the departments of earth science, including anthropology, archeology, and geography. University enrolment increased from 3,740 undergraduates in 1966 to 10,864 by a mere decade later.[22] This started to cause administrative problems and efficiency costs for the giant Faculty of Arts and Sciences. This led to the eventual breakup of the Faculty in 1976, resulting into the creation of the University College and three separate faculties:[22] the Faculty of Sciences, the Faculty of Social Sciences, and the Faculty of Humanities. In the same year, the interdisciplinary Arctic Institute of North America took up residence on the University campus. In 1981, the University College, whose duties were to register first-year students into general studies[disambiguation needed], humanities, science, and social science programmes, renamed itself into the Faculty of General Studies.[8][23]
The University would later experience a second wave of growth when it was announced that Calgary (as well as the University) would host the XV Winter Olympic Games. In preparation for the Games, the University undertook several construction projects such as the Olympic Oval.,[24] the Athlete's Village (currently part of Residence),[24] the Jack Simpson Gymnasium, and the Arts Building and Parkade which would house the University's visual arts departments.[25] In 1994, the University played host to the Learned Societies Conference, an academic convention of scholars from the social sciences and humanities. The event witnessed about 8,000 delegates from more than 100 academic organisations, discuss and present their research from their respective fields of discipline.[26] In 1998, following the trends of many North American universities, the University flirted with the idea of reorganising and condensing various departments and faculties as a measure to "encourage collaboration while maintaining their separate identities."[27] If realised, this move would have led to the creation of academic strategic clusters or "super-Faculties," which would have merged fine arts, general studies, and humanities into the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, while merging education and social sciences into the Faculty of Education and Social Science.[27] In 2000, the Faculty of General Studies renamed itself again to become the Faculty of Communications and Culture, which better reflected the Faculty's teaching and research activities[23]
Creation of the faculty
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/81/University_of_Calgary_Social_Sciences.jpg/222px-University_of_Calgary_Social_Sciences.jpg)
On 25 June 2009, the University Board of Governors voted to reunify the four separate faculties of Communication and Culture, Fine Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences into a single amalgam,[2] the Faculty of Arts. The new streamlined Faculty was finalised on 1 April 2010, and was designed to conform with other Canadian research universities, most of whom "have two or fewer arts and social science-type faculties.[2]" The departments of Music, Dance, and Drama would later merge in July 2013[28] to form the School of Creative and Performing Arts. In the same year, plans were announced that the University would no longer offer 19 undergraduate programs in the upcoming academic year[29]—10 of which belonged to the Faculty of Arts. In 2014, it was announced that the departments of Greek and Roman Studies and Religion had merged into a single department of Classics and Religion.[30] Simultaneously, the department of Archaeology and Anthropology had merged in the same year.[30] The year of 2016 was celebrated as the University's semicentennial, marking 50 years of autonomy and academia. On 28 May to 3 June 2016, the University played host again to the 75th Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences, welcoming 8,000 delegates, 70 academic organisations, and more than 5,000 research papers to be housed on the University campus.[31][32] In June 2016, negotiations for the School of Languages, Linguistics, Literatures, and Cultures were finalised as a effort to condense the University's humanities departments into a single collective entity.[33]
Student life
The Faculty of Arts is governed from the Office of the Dean of Arts, whose facilities are housed on the 13th floor of the Social Sciences tower. The Faculty however, encourages student participation through the use of department groups such as the Faculty of Arts Students' Association, whose duties include the management of the Arts Lounge found in the 2nd floor of the Social Sciences tower in room SS 217. Arts students have a variety of opportunities provided by the Faculty to supplement their undergraduate and graduate experience. Co-op work experience programs are made available for students who wish to pursue them. Various student-run clubs exist around campus to cater to the interests of arts students and non-arts students alike. Undergraduate department associations, ranging from archaeology to women's studies, provide services and a sense of community among students of similar programs. Due to the size of the Arts student population, the Faculty is granted 4 Student's Union representatives, to oversee the affairs of arts students with the University Administration.

Campus culture
Being one of the oldest faculties, Arts has contributed a great deal to the history of the University. The Social Science building in particular, has played an integral role in the development of the wider Arts campus culture, as well as a providing central theme to the campus' curious folklore.
Climbing the Social Sciences building
Completed shortly after autonomy, the building was one of the oldest towers to overlook the current University campus. There is an old myth among arts students that the original architects envisioned a green-ivy-grown southern face,[34] hence the lattice like design. As the myth continues, the architects did not take into account the acidity of the building's exterior structure, which made it unsuitable to support such climbing plants.[34] However, years of rain exposure has washed the building's exterior to lower acidic levels,[34] giving reason to the minimal plants that grow along the tower's base.
Social Sciences would become intertwined with similar campus legend. This time involving a student, who for reasons unknown, attempted to mount an expedition along the southern face of the beige Tower. The event has been said to have occurred during the Bermuda Shorts Day of 1982 or 1983.[35] Former students, University staff, and members of the Faculty have recalled a similar incident, however the event remains unconfirmed.[35] Strangely enough, students have noticed a mysterious black tennis ball wedged just above the Social Sciences building sign, which is still visible today from the connecting bridge from Social Science to Administration.[35]
The campus rocks
The infamous paint-covered boulders that are found throughout the campus, affectionately known as "the Rocks," have become an integral part of campus culture.[36] This is reflected in the University Registrar's phone numbers sometimes ending with the four digits -7625 (ROCK).[37] The original rock has moved about the campus three times, initially placed north of Craigie Hall for a month,[38] and was later moved east of the MacEwan Student Centre (MacHall).[39] It was then moved to its current location adjacent to Swann Mall and the Registrar, to make way for the 2000 expansion of MacHall.[39] The original rock was unearthed in the summer of 1968 during excavation for the future Social Science building.[38] Campus geologists have determined the rock's origins to be of the Jasper National Park region prior to the last glacial age.[38] The rock was scheduled for removal, but was rescued by members of the Arts Faculty who thought it would serve as an "excellent forum for students to voice their opinion.[36]"
Since that summer, the rock has become a common target for students to paint messages and other graphics, as well as to provide for an unmistakable meeting place for students and faculty alike. Soon messages of congratulation such as "Yay Finally Graduated[40]" to the more political "Lougheed is a bum,[41]" began to grace the façade of these no-longer-grey rocks. The Administration accepted this curious trend willingly, as it seemed to remove desire from the students to vandalise other buildings on campus.[38] The rocks are often painted to advertise campus events, signal the start of new semesters, and in protest to current affairs.
UAC Student Council Election 1964
Prior to the tradition of painting rocks, a curious incident occurred during the 1964 UAC Student's Council election, where Education candidate Francis Somerville brought "Sylvia", a donkey from the Calgary Zoo,[42][43] as a publicity vehicle for his election campaign. Under the helm of campaign manager Ron Dougan,[43][44] Sylvia was adorned with a blanket etched onto it "Don't be a jackass vote Francis.[42][43]" Unfortunately, Somerville would lose that election by a handful of votes to his two female opponents.[44] However in the same year, he would become the President of the Education Undergraduate Society.[44][45] Ironically, Dougan would have more luck than his client, when in the following year, he would become the UAC Council representative for Education in 1965.[44][45]
Soft drink dispute
In 1997, the University decided to make Pepsi Cola Canada Beverages the exclusive supplier of cold drinks on campus,[46] which was an common trend among North American universities. This infuriated some students who regarded the move as undermining institutional independence to a multinational corporation.[36] The rock became a figurative soapbox for "pop soda libertarians", adopting red and white slogans Always Coca-Cola.[47] An underground "anti-Pepsi movement" emerged on campus,[36][48][49][50][51] advocating for the protection of soft drink alternatives to the Pepsi brand. The "movement" did very little to hurt the University's business relations with the soda giant. However on certain department floors of Social Science (history and political science particularly), vintage Pepsi machines have been known to offer selections of Coca-Cola products with labels saying Always Coca-Cola attached to the machine's dispensary hole. The existence of such soda machines is quite curious, but it points to the possibly that some arts students and Faculty members are still continuing the cause for campus-wide soda freedom.
"I. M. Hungry" student protest
Strangely enough, this was not the first incident where students took up arms over Campus food. In 28 September 1965, a group of former arts and sciences UAC students, Charles Szuch, Michael "Mike" McEwan, Patrick "Pat" Tivy and Donald "Don" Dewar, along with former engineer UAC student Terrance "Terry" Peressini,[52][53] staged a fake funeral for the figurative fallen student I. M. Hungry in front of the Food Centre (now Dining Centre).[53][54][55] According to the participants, the event was done to protest "only the quantity of the food, not the quality.[53][54][55]" The protest featured a shaky rendition of Taps interpreted by McEwan and a makeshift horn from newspaper.[54] The funeral protest laid to rest the soul of I. M. Hungry, symbolised by the 'body' of former commerce student[56] Stephanie Baker.[53]"
Tale of Leon the Frog
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1d/University_of_Calgary_Leon_the_Frog.jpg/220px-University_of_Calgary_Leon_the_Frog.jpg)
One of the most beloved features among arts students[57][58][59] is the saga known as "The Tale of Leon the Frog" which was originally written in the early 1970s on top of the stairwell in Social Sciences.[60] It chronicles journey of a young frog named Leon, and the features overheard conversations of students and their concerns of the time. Such existentialist musings from the 13-flights-of-stairs long poem include:
"What is art? Where is?... am I here? Where is my will power? These are barbaric conditions. Is this the hallmark of my life?"[61]
The suspects who knowingly vandalised campus property have consistently claimed the work was done for the art.[36] The five individuals responsible, who have been later identified as arts alumni, were Joane Cardinal-Schubert, Tony Acosta, Robin Laurence, Catherine McAvity, and Rita McKeough.[36][62] Cardinal-Schubert has stated that the amphibious hero of the poem is a "metaphor for a student...lost in space.[62]" The exact dating of this self-termed "happening[62]" has not been entirely confirmed. However, former writer for the now-defunct University of Calgary Gazette, Cathy McLaughlin, has hypothesised "the sixth floor segment quotes from a Gauntlet article of Oct. 18, 1974, citing "turmoil, confusion and acrimony" in the political science department, and narrowing Leon's probable date of authorship.,[62]" indicating that the event took place around 1974.
The main character himself has been a source of debate, mostly surrounding the artistic choice of Leon as a suitable name for an adventurous frog. Campus historians Peter Fortna, Martina King, and Doug McColl have theorised that the name Leon might have been inspired by professor emeritus of Biological Sciences, Dr. Leon W. Browder.[36] This is partly to do with his academic tenure being around the suspected era of the early 1970s, and partly due to his research, which included the study of early embryonic development for Xenopus laevis, commonly referred to as the African Clawed Frog.[63]
Calgary School
There is a prevalent myth among students, alumni, and outsiders alike of the perceived conservative or right-leaning themes that surround factions of the social science departments of the Faculty, particularly in the departments of Political Science, Economics, and History.[64][65][66][67][68][69] This is due, in part, by the so-called Calgary School, which was a loose, informal collection of former graduates and faculty members who have contributed in some measure, to the modern conservative movement in Alberta and Canada.[69][70] The existence of the "School" has become common knowledge among students and members of the Faculty. Several arts graduates and Faculty members have been known to place prominently in the Conservative Party of Canada and have held various notable positions[69][71][72] in government of arts alumnus Stephen Harper. This perception is strengthened by the popular presence of student-run campus clubs representing centre-right political parties on both the provincial and federal level.[66]
Ghost of Earth Science
Rumours of a resident ghost have sprung up by arts students and alumni alike, claiming to have seen sightings of a brown haired woman in the Department of Anthropology and Archaeology in Earth Sciences. The Faculty Club was a former cafeteria and bar for the University's staff, originally located on the 7th floor of Earth Sciences in 1973, but permanently moved to the 4th floor of MacHall in 1985.[73] Individuals have noticed strange apparitions regarding a "pleasant looking woman" with medium brown hair.[74] The identity of this brunette, sweater wearing poltergeist is unknown, but several people have speculated it to be the former University Advisor to Women's Studies (1960-1966), Dr. Aileen A. Hackett Fish.[39][74][75][76] Dr. Fish passed away on 3 March 1977,[77][78] but left a long legacy of civil service, women's rights advocacy, and community involvement[77][78][79] In 1973, Dr. Fish was awarded the Order of Canada medal[77][79] and an honorary degree from the University of Calgary in 1976,[77][79] both for her outstanding service at the community level. The Beta Sigma Phi Sorority established the Dr. Aileen Fish Memorial Bursary award[80] shortly after her death, due to her strong relations with the sorority.
