The globular cluster Messier 10 has three known variables. The first two of these were discovered by one of us (Sawyer 1933) and the third by Arp (1955). Two of the variables, V2 (P=18.7226) and V3 (P=7.831), are population II cepheids while V1 appears to be an irregular variable. Another star which lies in the Schwarzschild gap on the horizontal branch is a suspected variable (Voroshilov 1971).In this investigation, we examine the variations in the periods of the two cepheids over the interval 1912 to 1983 (for V2) and 1931 to 1983 (for V3). The study is based on photographs obtained with seven different telescopes - the Mt.Wilson 100-inch and 60-inch (1912 to 1919), the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory 72-inch, the David Dunlap 74-inch and 19-inch, the 16-inch at the University of Toronto downtown campus and the University of Toronto 24-inch at the Las Campanas Observatory of the Carnegie Institution of Washington. Some of our magnitudes have already been published (Sawyer 1938) and the remaining ones will be submitted to the Astronomical Journal for publication. We have also included material published by Arp (1955, 1957) in our study.

The University of Toronto 24-inch telescope at the Las Campanas Observatory of the Carnegie Institution of Washington has beerused for the study of variables in four southern globular clusters: NGC 6273=1119, NGC 6284, NGC 6293 and NGC 6333-M9.The first three of these clusters lie about 2° from one another in the sky at southern declinations ranging from about 24.5° to 26.5°. They were investigated by one of us (Sawyer 1943) using photographs obtained at the Steward Observatory in Arizona in 1939. A number of variables were discovered, but even with additional David Dunlap plates, it was not possible to determine any periods because of the large southern declinations. At Las Campanas (latitude 29°S), they pass close to the zenith and therefore the periods are more readily determined. From our Las Campanas data, we have found that there are four Cepheids in NGC 6273, two in NGC 6284 and one in NGC 6293.

In 1908–09 Professor Carl Russell Fish of the University of Wisconsin was commisioned as a Research Associate by the Carnegie Institution of Washington, D.C., and sent abroad to visit and assess the materials for American history to be found in the various archives of Italy. Out of his labors, done with the precision of a trained historian, came a volume which has long been a standard tool for students and researchers in this field: Fish's Guide to the Materials for American History in Roman and Other Italian Archives, published in 1911 by the Carnegie Institution. Pages 119–95 are devoted to an analysis of those archives of the Catholic Church which are commonly called the Archives of the Sacred Congregation de Propaganda Fide in Rome. Fish's analysis is preceded by a brief historical account of this important arm in the ordinary government of the Catholic Church from 1622 (the date of its establishment) until 1911.

The Editorial Board of Renaissance Quarterly is most kindly continuing its tradition in Renaissance News by allowing me to publish the third supplement to the Catalogue of Italian Plays 1500-1700 in theUniversity of Toronto Library (University of Toronto Press, 1961). Previous supplements appeared in RN16 (1963), 298-307, and 19 (1966), 219-228. The plays listed below illustrate a wide range of theatrical tastes, from Latin and Italian passion plays, medieval in tradition, to the later dominant vogue for musical dramas. In editions of the latter it became customary early in the seventeenth century to record architects, costumers, and performers, so that the printed plays are a valuable source for stage history. Scenery for four of these dramas was designed by Ferdinando and Francesco Galli di Bibbiena, then at the outset of their careers.

George Wetherill and I worked together as scientific collaborators when I was a postdoctoral fellow in 1977-1978 at the Department of Terrestrial Magnetism (DTM) of the Carnegie Institution of Washington (CIW) in Washington, D.C. We worked on problems of meteoroids interacting in Earth's atmosphere along with Richard McCrosky at Harvard College Observatory and Zdeněk Ceplecha at the Ondřejov Observatory in Czechoslovakia and also with Sundar Rajan who had already arrived at DTM from the University of California at Berkeley before me.

Norman Levi Bowen, Research Associate of the Geophysical Laboratory of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, and one of the great pioneers in experimental petrology, died in Washington D.C. on 11 September 1956 in his seventieth year. He was born at Kingston, Ontario, on 21 June 1887, the younger son of William Alfred Bowen, a Londoner by birth, who had come to settle in Canada. Bowen attended school in Kingston and in the autumn of 1903 entered Queen’s University, registering in the Faculty of Arts. There he took an honours course in chemistry and mineralogy, graduating with the degree of M.A. in 1907 with the University medals in both subjects. In the same year he entered the School of Mining completing the B.Sc. degree course in 1909 in mineralogy and geology. Among his professors at Queen’s were R. W. Brock, subsequently Director of the Geological Survey of Canada, M. B. Baker and W. Nicol. E. L. Bruce and W. L. Uglow who later achieved distinction in geology were among his contemporaries. During his University career at Kingston he became engaged in field work for the Ontario Bureau of Mines, first in the summer of 1907 with Brock on a geological survey at Larder Lake, and in succeeding field seasons with M. B. Baker at Lake Abitibi (1908) and in the Gowganda Lake area in 1909, working there under the general supervision of A. G. Burrows. The results of his studies in these years appeared in two contributions, the first as a student’s paper in 1909 on diabase and aplite of the cobalt-silver area — which was awarded first prize by the Canadian Mining Institute and the President’s gold medal; the second appeared in 1910 in the Journal of Geology .

Except for two years, 1909 and 1910, the Observer’s Handbook of The Royal Astronomical Society of Canada has been published every year since 1907. It was founded by Clarence Augustus Chant, who also was responsible for the founding at the University of Toronto, of Canada’s first and largest department of astronomy, and who established the David Dunlap Observatory, which contains the largest optical telescope in Canada. In addition, Chant served as Editor of the Observer’s Handbook for 50 years, which is the main reason I am only the fourth editor since 1907. I should mention that John Percy, Chairman of the Scientific Organizing Committee of this Colloquium, was the third editor.

Pathology Training

Introduction: The University of Toronto experienced graduating three cohorts of forensic pathologists trained with Competency by Design (CBD) curriculum. We achieved this as a result of multiyear development of Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs), Required Training Experience (RTEs), and Specialty Competency Requirements (SCRs) by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada’s Forensic Pathology Speciality Committee, the Ontario Forensic Pathology Service, and the University of Toronto. Method: Our academic year is comprised of 13 blocks. We divided the 13-block period into 4 stages to map all the EPAs and RTEs. The first stage, Transition to Discipline, is 1 block, the second stage, Foundation of Discipline, consists of 3 blocks; the third stage, Core of Discipline, consists of 6 blocks, and the final fourth stage, Transition to Practice, consists of 3 blocks. Board-certified faculty members in Forensic Pathology with more than five years of experience supervised the trainees. We graduated 5 Canadian and 4 international trainees at the end of the third cycle of CBD-based training program. Conclusion: Using the Royal College Speciality Committee blueprint, the University of Toronto started in 2016 planning the CBD curriculum in the forensic pathology training program. By the end of June 2021, we graduated nine trainees from our CBD-based Forensic Pathology training program. We are training the fourth cohort, and they will be graduating at the end of June 2022. This article aims to share our firsthand experiencing in CBD training in forensic pathology.
