JAMES REANEY
& LITERARY LIFE
Described as "one of the most
accomplished and influential figures
on the Canadian literary scene in the
last 40 years," James Reaney was born
on a small farm in South Easthope
Township in 1926.
As a student at Stratford Collegi-
ate, young James and several friends
bicycled all the way to Toronto one
summer in the early 1940s to see the
opening of Walt Disney's Fantasia.
From 1944 to 1948, Reaney was a
student of English literature at the
University of Toronto. He won the
Governor -General's Award for poetry
with his first book, The Red Heart.
Many of Reaney's works have
been translated into Chinese, German,
French, Hebrew, and Czechoslova-
kian. Winner of a second Governor -
General's Award for A Suit of Nettles
(1958), he is perhaps best known for
his plays conceming the life and times
of the Donnellys.
As professor of English at the Uni-
versity of Western Ontario, Reaney
still enjoys visits to his stepbrother's
farm in Perth County. His opposition
to a proposed freeway across prime
farm land between Stratford and
Shakespeare in the early 1980s won
the admiration of many residents.0
J. A. CORRY AND
EDUCATION
Born in Milbank in 1899, James
Corry has become one of Canada's
outstanding educators.
His own early education at Strat-
ford Collegiate Institute led to univer-
sities in Canada, England, and the
U.S. He later served as a member of
the Board of Governors for the CBC
and as president of the Association of
Universities and Colleges of Canada.
For many years, he has been active
in formulating both broadcasting and
educational policies in Canada.
In 1951, Professor Corry was
appointed vice-principal of Queen's
University, and a decade later became
principal, a position he maintains. He
has written several books about law,
politics, and education.0
