Exhibition of Chinese Rare Books at EAL
Leaves of Enchantment, Bones of Inspiration: The Dawn of Chinese Studies in Canada is the first comprehensive exhibition of Chinese rare books held in the University of Toronto Libraries. This joint project by the Cheng Yu Tung East Asian Library, the Royal Ontario Museum and the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library was on display in the Fisher Library from May 25 to September 17, 2010. The current installation includes parts of the earlier exhibition.
Most of the Chinese rare books in the Cheng Yu Tung East Asian Library belong to the so-called “Mu Collection” - a private collection of scholarly books from Mr. Mu Xuexun (慕學勛1880-1929). Mu was born in Penglai County, Shandong Province. He graduated from Beiyang University (北洋大學堂) in Tianjin in 1911 and worked as the Chinese Secretary at the German Legation in Beijing for seventeen years (1912-1929). He spent over twenty-five years building up his personal library, which consisted of roughly forty thousand volumes of books.
At the time when Mu Xuexun passed away in 1929, his son had been assigned to a position outside of Beijing and so the family decided to sell the rare book collection. Canadian missionary Bishop William Charles White (1873-1960) offered $10,500 to purchase it in its entirety and his offer was accepted by the Mu family. White was the first Anglican Bishop in Henan Province (1901-1930) stationed at the city of Kaifeng （開封）and the first Canadian bishop to be consecrated for service in the mission field.
Ten Chinese workers were hired to prepare a descriptive catalogue for the library collection. The book shipment arrived at Toronto in June, 1935. At the time, it was the third largest university collection of Chinese books in North America, after the Gest Library at McGill University (later transferred to Princeton University) and the Harvard-Yenching Library at Harvard University. The Mu Collection was first housed in ROM’s Sigmund Samuel Gallery. On 5 November 1937, the Library opened officially in a new addition specially built for the Mu Collection with the name “Professor H.H. Mu Library of Chinese Books”. Bishop White was appointed the first keeper of the Library.
In 1968, the majority of the Mu Collection became part of the University of Toronto Libraries’ holdings. At that time, an East Asiatic Studies Library was created with holdings of sixty thousand volumes— apart from the original Mu Collection - that had been added to the library in the years since 1937. In 1974, the East Asiatic Studies Library moved to the newly constructed John P. Robarts Research Library, the main humanities and social sciences library of the University of Toronto Libraries where it was absorbed into the Central Library and renamed as the ‘East Asian Library’. The Mu Collection was relocated to its own rare book reading room, with part of it kept in compact shelving in a restricted area.
In the Mu Collection, there are two volumes of Song Dynasty (960 - 1279) editions, ninety-eight volumes of Yuan Dynasty (1271 – 1368) editions, 230 titles of Ming Dynasty (1368 – 1644) editions, around 400 titles of Qing Dynasty (1644 – 1911) editions from before the 60th year of Emperor Qianlong’s reign (1795) and 50 titles of Ming and Qing manuscripts. Some of these are unique and exceedingly rare materials. This exhibition contains two parts: Part I is displayed in the EAL Rare Book Reading Room close to the main entrance of the library and the part II displays here. You can find publications related to the Chinese rare book collections and the history of this library in the last case of this display. For more information, please contact our staff.

OECD: International Migration Outlook 2010
OECD: Interntinal Migration Outlook 2010
For the first time in its annual International Migration Outlook, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development calculated "stay rates" for students converting their status from student to migrant. The 2010 report states that "international students have become a significant group in international migration flows in OECD countries" due to "broader policies to attract and retain highly skilled migrants." Such policies include Canada's facilitation of permanent residency for international graduates. According to figures based on 2007 status changes, the number of student-to-worker status changes is nearly 13,000 in Canada, one of the highest numbers among OECD nations. The OECD reports that the majority of students (61%) who changed status did so for work-related reasons, with a higher share of changes due to marriage in Germany and for humanitarian reasons in Canada.

The East Asian Studies Program at UofT Needs Your Support!
Dear Friends of the Cheng Yu Tung East Asian Library,
It’s with great concern that we send you what is very distressing news about developments still unfolding at the University of Toronto and solicit your support. The Faculty of Arts and Science has recently proposed in its strategic plan to eliminate the Department of East Asian Studies, starting from the fall of 2011.
The Department of East Asian Studies, with a history for more than 70 years, has been very successful in promoting multi-disciplinary studies in the history, culture and society of the East Asian region. With an enrollment of over 1,000 students, it is one of the largest and most respected East Asian Studies Programs in North America.
The decision by the Faculty of Arts and Science to eliminate this successful department in the biggest university in Canada and at a time when Canada’s political, economic and cultural relations with East Asia are expanding and strengthening is truly regrettable and very unsettling.
The disestablishment of the department will not only harm Canadian research on East Asia, but will also dismantle an important education centre to teach and inform young Canadians about Asian culture and traditions. This will inevitably erode the chance for Asian Canadians to have their culture represented in Canadian society as a whole.
We need your help immediately to reverse and prevent this ill-conceived decision from going forward. If you value East Asian culture, if you care about strengthening East Asian Studies in Canada, and believe in cross-cultural dialogue, please help us with the following efforts:
1. Sign the online petition, ‘Save the East Asian Studies Program at the University of Toronto’ at http://www.petitiononline.com/saveeas/petition.html, and
2. Write to the President OR Vice President with a copy to the Dean of the University to oppose the dissolution of the Department of East Asian Studies. The relevant email and postal addresses appear below. Many thanks for your help and support.

EDUROAM: A New Service for UofT Faculty, Staff and Students
UofT has recently launched a new service, Eduroam (Education Roaming), which allows faculty, staff and students to use their UofT wireless login credentials to use wireless networks when they are visiting other participating universities (a list for Canadian universities, and some background information about Eduroam).
Technical support for eduroam will be provided by one's home institution. For UofT faculty, staff or students to visit another participating institution, they should contact the Information Commons Help Desk (help.desk@utoronto.ca, 416-978-4357)for technical support to configure their laptop BEFORE they go to another university.
Visitors from other participating universities should be able to use their own credentials to login to the wireless when at UofT libraries. Visitors to UofT should contact their home institution's IT support for assistance.
UofT faculty, staff and students can consult the Information Commons Help Desk for any questions about Eduroam.
