WARDEN'SWORD

WARDEN'SWORD

By Janet Hoskins, Interim Warden

This summer hasbeen an extra-ordinary one at StJohn’s College,largely due to thePan Am Games. Wewere surroundedby the securityfence that enclosedthe University PanAm Village. Thismeant having topass throughsecurity to get into

work and access to the College was strictlylimited to those with security clearance. Italso meant hosting the athletes and officialsfrom Puerto Rico. It has been a distinctpleasure to have them stay with us and be apart of the excitement of this major event.

We had another special visitor to the Collegethis summer. Her Royal Highness thePrincess Royal paid a visit to St John’s onSunday, July 25th. She attended anecumenical church service here at which thePan Am Games Chaplain and our Chaplain,the Revd Geoffrey Woodcroft officiated.Geoff was given the honour and the task ofpreaching the sermon and he did awonderful job. Two student Collegemembers also participated in this service.Shelley Klym played the violin and MarcusSteeds served as an usher and did one of thescripture readings. Marcus worked in theDevelopment Office this summer and bothShelley and Marcus will be Residence Donsnext year.

As the intensity of the Pan Am Games diesdown, we approach the excitement andbustle of a new academic year. We lookforward to welcoming many new students toour community, as well as a number of newFellows. With the arrival of our new Directorof the Institute for Anglican Ministry, theRevd Dr Iain Luke, the Faculty of Theologyis poised to begin the development ofeducational and training programs for newforms of ministry in the Diocese.

A highlight of our academic year is ourConvocation. The 133rd annualSt John’s College Convocation will be heldon November 7th. At that time we will bepleased to award a Doctor of Divinity degreeto the Revd Dr Murdith McLean, a formerWarden of the College, and an HonoraryFellowship to the Revd Dr John Wortley.Murdith McLean will give the Convocationaddress.

Convocation is always a happy time – a timeto celebrate the achievements of our studentsand to take inspiration from theaccomplishments of those that we havechosen to honour. This year will have anadditional component however – a slightlysad one. Bishop Patrick Lee retires this falland graciously agreed to postpone hisretirement by a week so that he couldpreside over our Convocation. Bishop Leehas been a wonderful Chancellor and he willbe missed greatly in that role. He is analumnus of St John’s College as well thoughand, as with all of our alumni, we hope tokeep him connected to his alma mater. Oncea Johnian, always a Johnian!

At the alumni lunch with Jim '57 andBev (Baker) Allan.

SUMMER INSTITUTE SUCCESSRobert Webber gives workshop

he Summer Institute of Theology brought49 students from a wide variety ofbackgrounds to the College this May andJune to participate in three accreditedcourses: Introduction to the Bible, Introductionto Religious Ethics, and Introduction to thePhilosophy of Religion.

The Faculty is seeking to develop its role asan academic and training resource withinboth Diocesan structures and on the U of Mcampus. The Summer Institute has helpedshow that St John's College can effectivelyintegrate the academic pursuit of theology(and its related fields) within a universityenvironment.

Students enrolled from seven U of Mdepartments, as well as the University ofWinnipeg. It was a very interesting andstimulating mix. Our efforts will now bedirected towards consolidating a goodbeginning with future ventures of this kind.

Just before the Summer Institute began, theFaculty of Theology brought Dr RobertWebber to the College for a one-dayworkshop entitled Renew Your Worship.

Robert Webber is no stranger to ourDiocese having been a keynote speaker atclergy and Faith Horizons events in thepast. The author of well-known bookssuch as Worship is a Verb, Evangelicals on theCanterbury Trail, and Worship Old and New,as well as numerous articles. Dr Webberblended scholarly depth and practicalinsight in his presentations on trends incontemporary worship practice. The 140registrants who were present for the dayenjoyed the hospitality of the College andheard Webber in excellent form as hediscussed the nature and appreciation ofblended worship in the life of thecontemporary church. The workshopattracted people from a wide range ofdenominations and discussion was lively.Participants went home encouraged intheir ministries and with a renewed senseof the integrity and centrality of worshipin the church. Special thanks to the InterimWarden, Dr Janet Hoskins for her supportof this event and the Revd GeoffWoodcroft, Jill Stafford and LynneScharien for helping with arrangementsfor the day.

JAMES FROST CROSSStill a presence at St John's after 100 yearsIn 1899 James Frost Cross came to St John’s College to teach mathematics. In honour of hismemory and contribution to the College, the James Frost Cross Memorial Trophy is awardedto a student deemed to be the most proficient in academics and athletics, and contributingto the welfare of the College and his or her fellow students. It is decided upon by the StJohn's College Student Association and is one of the College's most prestigious awards. TheCross Common Room was also named in his honour.

Below are excerpts from a profile of James Frost Cross which first appeared in The WinnipegTribune. The exact date of the article is not known, but is likely from the 1930’s, and theauthor is simply “C.J.W.”. To maintain the tone of the original piece, it is reprinted withoutany changes.

He was baptized John Frost Cross. Thetitle Reverand and several university

degrees were added later. To St John’sCollege students he is known simply andaffectionately as “Johnny” Cross.

He is five feet three inches high, stubby,ruddy-faced and warm-hearted. His unruly,sandy hair is sprinkled with grey.

In his office - at the end of a hallway whereboys in residence whistle and toss eachother out of bed - he wears a comfortableold blue sweater over his clergyman’s vestand fills his pipe from an old green tobaccojar.

Once a football player, later a curler andlawn bowler, he is an inveterate reader ofsports pages.

His favourite books are The Pickwick Papersand Martin Chuzzlewit. He wishes Dickenshad made a hero of Steerforth.

He has had two heroes in life, a boy and abishop.

* * *

He has been deaf and half blind all his life.He overcame poor circumstances to attainan enviable record in the world ofscholarship.

He hates “like the mischief” to talk abouthimself.

Though he was born at Birkenhead, England,he says he is almost a Canadian, as his peoplecame to Montreal when he was only threemonths old. They were back in England threeyears later…

Two incidents of his childhood heremembers. A huge clydesdale horsetrampled him into unconsciousness and acricket ball blinded him in one eye.

His father was a plumber and the family waspoor. Young Cross went to the grammarschool, but at 12 was an office boy in theshipyards. He was not happy there and hismother managed to send him back to school.

He wonscholarships, but at15 was back workingas junior clerk in ashipping office. Hewas with theLiverpool Journal ofCommerce,England’s biggestshipping paper, andwhen he left at theend of two years, thestaff presented himwith Wood’s NaturalHistory and a set ofMacaulay.

Page 5: Pre-Accu Sept 99 - umanitoba.ca

IN LUMINE 5

In 1889 he came to Winnipeg to work in theCPR offices… There was not much doing inthe winters, skating of course, but nomoving pictures to distract one’s attention.At night after work he read. He passed hismatriculation and took his university courseextra-murally.

Tall, bearded, Bishop Machray, who “wouldgo out of his way to assist anyone in gettingan education, a living or something higher,”was his guiding star. Thebishop helped him withmathematics, his worst subject,to such effect that hisknowledge of mathematicsonce enabled him to pass oneof Dr. G.J. Laird’s physicspapers with more than 100percent.

In the final examination he hada first class in every subjectand half a dozen scholarships.He graduated from Manitobain 1894.

Bishop Machray wanted himto go to Cambridge. In thethree years there, though hewas too poor to afford aprivate tutor, it was the samestory of scholarships.

He taught at an army trainingschool at Bath, nearly had his other eyeknocked out in football accident, read forthe Cambridge preliminaries for holy ordersand was ordained in Liverpool.

* * *In 1899 he came back to St John’s College toteach mathematics. His friend, the bishop,who had become Archbishop Machray, firstprimate of Canada, died in 1904.

In the years since he has taughtmathematics, also Greek, Latin and politicaleconomy at different times. He became deanin 1915 and last year was made actingwarden. He likes teaching, contact withyoung people, not executive jobs…

His attraction for sport is founded in hisyouthful hero worship of the captain ofWallasey Grammar school rugby footballteam. “I’ll never forget that boy,” he says. At16, Captain Luya had a thoroughly fineinstinct for what constitutes good sport. Hewas not very big, but hauled down big menin marvellous fashion and never did a dirtytrick. He played for Cheshire county andlater for the North of England.

Rev. Mr. Cross followsparticularly the activities ofthe New York Rangers, theChicago Black Hawks andToronto Maple Leafs,because among the playersare Eddie Shore, MurrayMurdock, Mason, Coulter,Tommy Cook and AndyBlair, all former St John’sboys.

In the summers he oftenvisits his former students inthe Old Country and on theContinent. He would like toretire, but will stay as longas the college needs him.

According to a plaque in theCollege, James Frost Cross leftin 1939.
