What I find interesting, though, is that 626 Roselawn Avenue, Toronto is smack dab in the middle of the Roselawn Avenue Jewish Cemetery, which has been in that location since the 1880s. Either the street numbering has changed or the DeVry Institute had a distinctly less active student body than it presently enjoys.

Oh, and Dan: the ladies may have been pretty proficient, but DeVry didn’t accept their applications. Many schools and universities either dissuaded or outright barred women from entering fields considered inappropriate. It was only in the late 80s that many universities in Canada stopped using overt intimidation tactics (showing hard-core porn during lectures, outright threats, etc.) to try to weed women out of engineering streams. My high school didn’t even allow girls to take Electronics – in the late 70s.

In the early 60’s there were plenty of jobs in the defense industry for people with no degrees. Technical training, no matter how acquired, would have been a plus.

Came across your blog and was very interested in sponsoring it with a short text link ad.

If this is something that you are interested in please let me know.
