Magocsi has held the Chair of Ukrainian Studies at the University of Toronto for three decades during which he has devoted himself to both Ukrainian and Rusyn history. Critics of Magocsi, particularly in the Ukrainian diaspora in North America, focus on his Rusyn publications while ignoring his great contribution to Ukrainian history which remains unparalleled among other Western historians of Ukraine and other Chairs of Ukrainian History and academic institutions.

Problematic Feature

Recent progress in high-precision calibrations of radiocarbon dates has led to evaluations of earlier research. This has been the case with dates from the Norse settlement at L'Anse aux Meadows which was discovered by Helge Ingstad in 1960. The most problematic feature of this series up to now was the use of sample material which partly derived from driftwood. The present paper concludes that charcoal from this site demonstrated no greater errors than normal from other settlement sites. With an assumed total systematic error of 30 ± 20 years, as a mean for various tree rings, the calibrated age range of L'Anse aux Meadows is AD 975–1020. This agrees well with the assumed historical age of ca AD 1000, a result which has also been recently corroborated by high-precision accelerator dating at the University of Toronto.

Forty years ago in the University of Toronto, a group of young physicists constructed the first electron microscope in North America. With Toronto as the host for the 9th International Congress on Electron Microscopy in 1978, it is an unique opportunity to commemorate this Canadian achievement. In the summer of 1977, Cecil Hall, who was involved in this achievement, wrote in a letter about this commemoration: “It is only a ceremony, of course, a symbolic summation to a story that many of us know. It is a good story”. That it is more than a “good story” became clear while material was being gathered to write the historical account of the construction of the Toronto microscope.
