Between 1776 and 1793, ten of these volumes were published under the title Histoire de la Société Royale de Médecine: histoire et mémoires. The Osler Library of the History of Medicine possesses four of them. Breaking with the tradition of Galen and with the diagnoses based on bookish knowledge, the members of this group favoured experimentation, the dissection of corpses and the close observation of the symptoms of the sick and the dying. This article looks at two aspects of their work: first it examines the goals and the structures of the Society that published the volumes and second, it analyses the organization and the types of articles published in the annual volumes.ResuméLes médecins Vicq d’Azyr et Joseph de Lassone ont fondé la Société royale de médecine en 1776 et aussitôt la nouvelle société a commencé à organiser la publication annuelle d’un volume de nouvelles d’intérêt médicales. Il devrait comporter les avis de décès des médecins et chirurgiens de renom, les articles sur des médicaments et drogues qui venaient d’être mis sur le marché, les interventions particulièrement innovatrices et les réflexions sur les causes de différentes maladies et épidémies. Entre 1776 et 1793, dix de ces volumes sont apparus sous le titre, Histoire de la Société Royale de Médecine: histoire et mémoires. La bibliothèque Osler de l’histoire de médecine détient quatre de ces volumes. Les articles des membres de ce groupe rompent avec la tradition de Galien et avec les diagnostics fondés sur les connaissances livresques. Ils favorisent l’expérimentation, la dissection des cadavres et l’observation des symptômes présentés par les maladies et les mourantes. Cet article étudie deux aspects de ces travaux: d’abord, il décrit les buts et les structures de la Société elle-même et second, il analyse l’organisation et les types d’articles publiés dans les volumes annuels.","PeriodicalId":81279,"journal":{"name":"Fontanus","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69319116","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Régis Messac at McGill University, 1924–1929: Fact and Fiction","authors":"R.

A provocative thinker whose works are now being republished, his years at McGill inspired harsh criticism of American society and a satirical novel Smith Conundrum about the trials of teaching at a thinly disguised McGill. His satire is college fiction in the tradition of his fellow professor Stephen Leacock but harsher. This article reconstructs Messac’s career at McGill, links his journalism during that time with his novel and traces how closely he used real people and events at McGill as inspirations for his satire. The article mainly draws on McGill’s archival records, calendars, and student publications as well as Messac’s own publications.ResuméRégis Messac (1893–1945), auteur français d’oeuvres de science fiction, de satire et de critique sociale, enseigna le français à l’Université McGill à Montréal de 1924 à 1929. Un penseur provocant dont les oeuvres sont aujourd’hui en réédition, ses années à McGill l’ont mené à critiquer sévèrement la société américaine et ont inspiré son roman Smith Conundrum qui traite des difficultés de l’enseignement à une Université McGill qui n’y est que très légèrement déguisée. Son oeuvre satirique de fiction collégiale est dans la tradition de son collègue, le professeur Stephen Leacock, mais est de nature plus sévère. Cet article reconstruit la carrière de Messac à McGill, établit des liens entre son journalisme et son roman durant cette époque, et examine la manière dont des gens et des événements à McGill lui ont servi de source d’inspiration directe pour son oeuvre satirique. L’article utilise principalement des documents d’archives, des calendriers et des publications étudiantes à McGill ainsi que les oeuvres publiées par Massac lui-même.","PeriodicalId":81279,"journal":{"name":"Fontanus","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69319148","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With the formal establishment of the Faculty in 1853, the issue of books and a library became acute. Through donations from a variety of benefactors a respectable collection of books began emerging. Only with Sir William Macdonald’s endowment for the Faculty in 1890, however, was ongoing support for the library finally guaranteed. Like the Faculty, the law library moved about considerably until 1949 when both settled into the James Ross property at the north-west corner of Penfield and Peel. Even here, the library has been housed in various locations before moving in 1998 to the Nahum Gelber Law Library.ResuméLes origines de la Faculté de droit de l’Université McGill et de sa Bibliothèque de droit remontent aux années 1840. Suite à la création formelle de la Faculté en1853, la question d’une bibliothèque et d’une collection de livres est devenue pressante. Grâce aux dons de divers bienfaiteurs, une collection respectable de livres commença à être établie. Ce n’est toutefois qu’avec la dotation que Sir William Macdonald fit à la Faculté en 1890 qu’un appui financier à long terme fut enfin garanti pour la Bibliothèque. Comme la Faculté, la Bibliothèque de droit s’est vu domiciliée à divers endroits jusqu’à 1949, quand la Faculté et la Bibliothèque se sont installées sur la propriété James Ross au coin nord-ouest des rues Penfield et Peel. Même après cette relocalisation, la Bibliothèque a occupé divers espaces jusqu’à ce qu’elle déménage en 1998 à la Bibliothèque de droit Nahum Gelber.","PeriodicalId":81279,"journal":{"name":"Fontanus","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69319130","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For Quebec, the 1960s was also the decade of la Revolution tranquille/Quiet Revolution, when francophone society’s self-definition underwent fundamental change. For McGill University, the decade’s changing environment required enormous adaptation: maintaining and extending academic programs and standards, restructuring governance and administration, expanding the physical plant, accommodating growing enrolment, seeking adequate funding, and adjusting to Quebec’s changing reality. A wide range of primary and secondary sources is available in recounting the story of McGill’s role in Quebec during the 1960s.ResuméAu Canada ainsi que partout ailleurs dans le monde occidental, les années 1960 furent une décénnie d’agitation étudiante et de perturbations sociales et politiques. Au Québec, les années 1960 furent aussi la décénnie de la Révolution tranquille, durant laquelle la manière dont la société francophone se définissait elle-même a subi un changement fondamental. Dans le cas de l’Université McGill, les transformations de l’environnement durant cette période ont nécessité énormément d’adaptation: le maintien et l’expansion des programmes et des normes académiques, la restructuration de la gouvernance et de l’administration, l’agrandissement des installations, l’accomodation du nombre croissant d’inscriptions, les efforts déployés pour assurer un financement adéquat, et l’ajustement de l’Université aux changements vécus par le Québec.
