He was the greatest orator of the late Roman Republic. A brilliant lawyer and the first of his family to achieve Roman office, Cicero was one of the leading political figures of the era of Julius Caesar, Pompey, Marc Antony and Octavian.
Marcus Tullius Cicero was born in the hill town of Arpinum, about 60 miles southeast of Rome. His father, a wealthy man, paid to educate Cicero and his younger brother in philosophy and rhetoric in Rome and Greece. After a brief military service, he studied Roman law under Quintis Mucius Scaevola. Cicero publicly argued his first legal case in 81 B.C., successfully defending a man charged with parricide.
Cicero was elected quaestor in 75, praetor in 66 and consul in 63—the youngest man ever to attain that rank without coming from a political family. During his term as consul he thwarted the Catilinian conspiracy to overthrow the Republic. In the aftermath, though, he approved the key conspirators’ summary execution, a breach of Roman law that left him vulnerable to prosecution and sent him into exile.
During his exile, Cicero refused overtures from Caesar that might have protected him, preferring political independence to a role in the First Triumvirate. Cicero was away from Rome when civil war between Caesar and Pompey broke out. He aligned himself with Pompey and then faced another exile when Caesar won the war, cautiously returning to Rome to receive the dictator’s pardon.
Cicero was not asked to join the conspiracy to assassinate Caesar in 44 B.C., but he was quick to celebrate it after the fact. In the infighting that followed Caesar’s death, Cicero made brief attempts at alliances with key figures, first defending Mark Antony before the Senate and then denouncing him as a public enemy in a series of withering speeches. For some time he supported the upstart Octavian, but when Antony, Octavian and Lepidus allied in 43 to form the Second Triumvirate, Cicero’s fate was settled. Antony arranged to have him declared a public enemy. Cicero was caught and killed by Antony’s soldiers, who are said to have cut off his head and right hand and brought them for display in Rome—Antony’s revenge for Cicero’s speeches and writings.
Cicero offered little new philosophy of his own but was a matchless translator, rendering Greek ideas into eloquent Latin. His other peerless contribution was his correspondence. More than 900 of his letters survive, including everything from official dispatches to casual notes to friends and family. Much of what is known about politics and society of his era is known because of Cicero’s correspondence. Few of his letters were written for publication, so Cicero gave free reign to his exultations, fears and frustrations.

Photographs by Henry Cimetta were used in a variety of Ryerson publications including course calendars and the student newspaper.

Clara Dennis was born in Truro, NS in 1881. She moved with her family to Halifax. Her father was William Dennis, proprietor of the Halifax Herald Company, publisher of the city's two leading early 20th-century newspapers (the Herald and the Mail). He was appointed to the Senate of Canada in 1912. Her mother was Agnes (Miller) Dennis, a community leader in her own right, prominent in progressive women's circles and much interested in improving conditions for the disadvantaged, especially women and children. After completing her early education in Halifax, Clara attended both Mount Allison University (Sackville, NB) and Dalhousie University. Next she studied stenography and typing at the Halifax Business College, preparatory to working as her father's assistant in the Halifax Herald office – regarded as very appropriate employment for young women at that time. Senator Dennis's early death in 1920, however, finished that aspect of her career.
She toured her native province, recording her observations and taking photographs along the way. Her pleasure trips led subsequently to three major books, all in the travel-literature genre and published by Ryerson Press, Toronto: Down in Nova Scotia: My Own, My Native Land (1934), More about Nova Scotia: My Own, My Native Land (1937) and Cape Breton Over (1942). Clara also produced newspaper and magazine articles over the years, chiefly on travel-related topics. She contributed the Nova Scotia chapter to The Spirit of Canada, a souvenir booklet produced to welcome King George VI and Queen Elizabeth on the occasion of their 1939 Canadian Tour.
Clara's greatest legacy may be the photographic record that she compiled of her life and world – several thousand images, capturing in black-and-white the people and places she encountered over the years. Although she provided captions for almost all her photographs, she rarely dated them; most appear, however, to have been taken between 1930 and 1940, and many were subsequently published in her books. The images feature a wide range of topics, freeze-framing a way of life now long-forgotten – men, women and children; Nova Scotians at work; antiques; scenery; and examples of the province's built heritage, including homes, churches, lighthouses, barns and unusual structures such as the cabbage houses on Tancook Island. Many of Clara's photographs ended up in her father's albums, now held by the Nova Scotia Museum – where they are valued for the photographic record they provide for Nova Scotia's Mi'kmaq in the early 20th century; examples of these images are also online, in the Museum's 'Mi'kmaq Portraits Collection'.
Clara Dennis died in Halifax on February 16, 1958.

Gregory Clark was born in Toronto on September 25, 1892. He attended Harbord Collegiate Institute. He enrolled at the University of Toronto for one year before beginning his career at The Toronto Start, where he worked from 1911-1947. In WWI he went overseas with the 4th Canadian Mounted Rifles and won the Military Cross as an infantry lieutenant at Vimy Ridge. He returned to the Toronto Star as a reporter and for the next 30 years he covered major news events, including the Great Haileybury Fire of 1922, the Lindbergh Kidnap Trial in 1935, the Moose River mine disaster in 1937, and the coronation of King George VI and the royal couple's 1939 tour of Canada.. He began to write humour stories for the Star's companion publication, the Toronto Star Weekly. The most popular of these featured the comic misadventures of Clark and his hunting and fishing companion, cartoonist Jimmie Frise. During WWII Clark went overseas again, this time as a war correspondent, reporting from the UK, Sicily, Italy and France. For this he was named an Officer of the Order of the British Empire and awarded the Service Medal of the Order of Canada. In 1947 Clark and Frise switched their work to the Montreal Standard, which became Weekend Magazine. After the death of Frise, Clark's stories were illustrated by Duncan MacPherson. Gregory Clark was invested as an Officer of the Order of Canada in 1968.

Joan Clark was born in Liverpool, Nova Scotia October 12, 1934. She grew up in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts from Acadia University in 1957. She lived in Ontario and Alberta before settling in Newfoundland in the 1980s. Since relocating to Newfoundland, Joan Clark has produced several award-winning novels exploring Newfoundland, its history, and mythology. Joan Clark's early work consisted primarily of literature for children and young adults, such as Girl of the Rockies (1968), The Hand of Robin Squires (1977), and The Moons of Madeleine (1987).

William Clifford Clark was born in Glengarry County, Ontario. He attended Queen's University, earning his two B. A. degrees in Latin and French in 1910 and another three B. A.s in English, History, and Politics in 1912. He attended Harvard University for graduate studies. He returned to Queen's in 1915 to teach Politics and Economics. In 1921 he left the University for a business career working a real estate firm in Chicago. In 1929 Clark returned to teaching at Queen's, and was recruited to Ottawa in 1932 and was appointed Deputy Minister of Finance. He held this position until his death in 1952.

Andrew D. Clarke was first a newspaperman and then a radio broadcaster. He was born July 13, 1882 in Grimsby, Ontario. Clarke got his start in journalism at the age of 22 following a conversation with Lou Marsh, legendary sports reporter for the Toronto Star. Marsh helped land Clarke an interview with one of the seven Toronto dailies of the day, The World. After nine years at The World, Andy took a job at the London Advertiser. Four years later, Clarke got a call from the Toronto Globe where he remained for 16 years until The Globe was amalgamated with The Mail and Empire to become the Globe and Mail.
While at The Globe, Clarke initiated “The Southeast Corner”, a short two-column feature that appeared in the same spot on The Globe’s front page. This column contained humourous stories from small towns across Ontario and Quebec. Stories about “Barrel-bellied pumpkins, two-headed calves, a dog that could play the piano, raspberries in November, a boy who could sing bass, a pike that had swallowed an alarm clock, a school teacher who crocheted, a parsnip that looked like a person.” There was an endless supply of content for The Southeast Corner which provided a measure of relief during the dark days of the Depression.
When radio arrived in Canada in the early 1920s, Andy Clarke began broadcasting the news every night from the newsroom of The Globe. He had a down-home approach and a friendly neighbourly voice that appealed to a wide audience. Clarke’s love of picking out stories from the local newspaper feeds also filled his nightly broadcasts with stories and anecdotes along with the news of the day.
When The Globe was bought by The Mail and Empire in November 1936, Clarke soon found himself out of a job. But not for long. The CBC had been “thinking about a weekly news broadcast of a different sort, that would deal with the homely happenings of everyday life in Ontario, the things that were never touched on in news bulletins that dealt with the daily grist of disaster, crime and international worries.” Andy Clarke’s name came to the fore and on Sunday, January 7, 1940, the first broadcast of Andy Clarke and his Neighbourly News hit the airwaves. Clarke also travelled to small towns and would broadcast to live audiences.

Clarke was the chair of the Action Canada Network, a coalition of labor groups and activists that led the battle against the 1987 Canada-United States Free Trade Agreement. The activists joined forces with anti-free traders from Mexico and the United States to oppose the North American Free Trade Agreement. As a result of his leadership role in the anti-free trade movement, Clarke was fired from the Conference of Bishops. Clarke then wrote Behind the Mitre: The Moral Leadership Crisis in the Canadian Catholic Church (Toronto: HarperCollins, 1995), analyzing the role of the Catholic Church and church-state relations in the previous two decades.
Clarke has continued his activism, working closely with Maude Barlow of the Council of Canadians. In 1997 he formed the Polaris Institute and led the campaigns against the Multilateral Agreement on Investment, the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, and the World Trade Organization.
As a result of his activist work, he and Maude Barlow were awarded the 2005 Right Livelihood Award.
