Mihkel (Michael) Bach was an Estonian, who studied architecture in Berlin before the Second World War. In 1949, while living in Sweden, he met a visiting professor from the University of Toronto’s School of Architecture. The professor encouraged Bach to come to Toronto to join the faculty of modern architecture, which was still in it’s formative years. Bach brought a modernist architectural style from Western Europe to Toronto and is said to have played an important role in the design of Victoria College’s Wymilwood Residence.

He was a French philosopher and writer, authoring 23 books and countless smaller works. He initially intended to pursue a career in engineering, but after three years in the trenches of the First World War, he changed his sights to philosophy, eventually moving to Paris, where he obtained a doctorate from the Sorbonne. At the Sorbonne, he occupied the chair of history and philosophy of science from 1940 to 1955. His interests included the philosophy of science, the epistemology of knowledge, particularly the dangers of a priori thinking and questions of objectivity and experimental evidence and the phenomena of consciousness.

Peter Bachrach was a prominent political theorist and professor emeritus of political science at Temple University, who advocated a dialectical approach to democracy, recognizing the need to both legitimate the majority and protect the minority. He retired in 1988 and was the co-author of more than 10 books. His article “Two Faces of Power,” is influential in the discipline of political science. According to Bachrach, prevailing institutions and political procedures can limit the decision-making abilities and the formation and articulation of concerns among disenfranchised groups.

Ida Emma Fitch Baker was born in 1858 in Norwich Township, Oxford County, Ontario. She met her husband, Jacob Johnson Baker, a baptist minister, while studying literature, art, and music at the Canadian Literary Institute, later to become Woodstock College, and married him in 1881. When he changed from preaching to teaching she followed him to the new settlement of Raymond, Alberta and then to Calgary where they raised their family of three boys and one girl. Everywhere she lived she devoted herself to the poor, establishing schools and hospitals and writing didactic stories for children, few of which were published. However, she did manage to publish six volumes of verse, one novel, several religious treatises, and two volumes of plays. Eventually the Bakers returned to Ontario where Jacob became a professor at McMaster University. After her death, her son, literary critic Ray Palmer Baker, edited her SELECTED POEMS (1951).

He favoured conservation and rehabilitation of neglected, working-class Montreal neighbourhoods that were being threatened with wholesale demolition. His work to save Griffintown was documented in the 1972 National Film Board film, Griffintown. While Baker was director of Université Laval’s architecture school, he initiated the idea of moving the school from its modern building in a Quebec City suburb to a historically-significant but vacant former seminary in Quebec’s old quarter.
Besides being a world traveller, a cyclist and marathon runner, Baker also had a flare for writing. Bumbaru noted that Baker penned many well-written letters in local French- and English-language newspapers, including the Montreal Gazette, about different causes.
