Mary Quayle Innis was an economist, writer, editor, and academic administrator. She was born Mary Emma Quayle in St. Mary's, Ohio on April 13, 1899. From 1915 to 1919 she attended the University of Chicago, graduating with a Ph.B. in English. There she met a young Canadian economics instructor, Harold Adams Innis. After their marriage on May 10, 1921, she joined him in Toronto where he had started teaching in the Political Economy Department at the University of Toronto, and where he remained for the rest of his life.

Quayle accompanied her husband on research tours until their children were born: Donald Quayle (April 21, 1924), Mary Ellen (Sept. 5, 1927), Hugh Roderick (Nov. 17, 1930), and Anne Christine (Jan. 25, 1933). Innis continued writing while at home with her family and published a number of stories in the Canadian Forum. She also wrote An Economic History of Canada (1935; revised and enlarged, 1943) which became a standard university text, followed by two other history texts for use in the schools: Changing Canada (2 volumes, Fish, Fur and Exploration and New France and the Loyalists, 1951-1952) and Living in Canada (1954), written in collaboration with Alex A. Cameron and Arnold Boggs. In the 1940s most of her short stories appeared in Saturday Night (forty-five stories between 1938 and 1947). Several of these were rewritten for inclusion in Stand on a Rainbow, (1943), an autobiographical "novel". For ten years Innis was editor of the YWCA Quarterly, and in 1949 she wrote a history of that organization, Unfold the Years, a survey of the growth of the Young Women's Christian Association in Canada from its inception in 1873.

After her husband's death in 1952 Mary Quayle Innis entered a more public life. In 1955 she became Dean of Women at University College, where she served for nine years. She was a Canadian delegate to the Commonwealth Conference on Education held in Oxford in 1959. After her retirement she became vice-chairman of the Committee on Religious Education in the Public Schools of the Province of Ontario. Innis received an LL.D. from Queen's University in 1958 and one from the University of Waterloo in 1965, in recognition of her literary and academic achievements

During these years, Innis continued to write and publish stories and also worked as an editor. Travellers West appeared in 1956 as well as a selection of her husband's articles and addresses, Essays in Canadian Economic History, followed by Mrs. Simcoe's Diary in 1965. Innis also worked with two university groups to edit commemorative anthologies, The Clear Spirit (1966), the centennial project of the Canadian Federation of University Women, and Nursing Education in a Changing Society (1970), for the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the School of Nursing at the University of Toronto.

Mary Quayle Innis died suddenly on 10 January 1972, the day before her revised edition of Harold Innis's Empire and Communications appeared.

Admiral Royal E. Ingersoll was Deputy Chief of Naval Operations during World War II.

The origins of Imprint, University of Waterloo’s student newspaper, are rooted in Waterloo’s start as the Waterloo College Associate Faculties, a semi-autonomous and non-denominational entity affiliated with Waterloo College (present-day Wilfrid Laurier University). Waterloo College’s two student newspapers, College Cord and Newsweekly were merged in 1958 to form The Cord Weekly, now called The Cord, which remains Laurier's student newspaper.

Engineering students at the Waterloo College Associate Faculties started their own newsletter in early 1959 shortly after the formation of the Engineering Society. The newsletter was dubbed Enginews and was originally published as a mimeographed sheet of foolscap. By late 1959, Enginews joined The Cord Weekly and appeared as a special section with its own masthead within the newspaper. The collaboration between The Cord Weekly and Enginews ended in the spring of 1960.

Enginews continued to publish issues in the spring and summer of 1960 until a new, initially nameless, newspaper was released in the fall of that year. This new newspaper was named The Coryphaeus, the Greek word for leader, in the second issue. Early issues of The Coryphaeus looked like The Cord Weekly, and Enginews continued to appear as a separate section with its own masthead in the paper. However, this special section slowly disappeared as the paper focused more on engineering.

The dominance of engineering news in The Coryphaeus disappointed many arts students who slowly organized and took over the newspaper. The Coryphaeus was renamed The Chevron in 1966, and as times changed, began to take a more radical editorial slant as the activist student movement of the 1960s got underway. Focus shifted away from engineering coverage to reporting on social and political issues of the day.

Believing they were no longer represented by The Chevron, a group of engineering students relaunched Enginews with a crude and irreverent style in July 1967. Publication of the new Enginews stopped in 1985 after the Iron Warrior, a paper with a more professional, serious-minded profile launched in 1980, proved to have more appeal with students. The Chevron*’s continued promotion of what was viewed as a radical left-wing agenda continued into the 1970s and resulted in a lack of confidence from the Waterloo’s student body. In November of 1978, after an extended dispute with the Federation of Students executive, now the Waterloo Undergraduate Student Association, the newspaper’s budget was frozen and The Chevron was overwhelmingly rejected by students in a referendum, leading to its removed as Waterloo's official student newspaper.

In the spring of 1978, the University of Waterloo Journalism Club, made up of former Chevron staffers and other Waterloo students, started its own weekly publication called Imprint. Initially funded solely by advertising, the paper won the support of students in a referendum held in March 1979 and the Imprint was named Waterloo's official student newspaper. Publication of the award-winning newspaper continues today with a large circulation in the Kitchener-Waterloo area and a six-figure operating budget.

Hugh Bernard Noel Hynes, BSc, PhD, DSc, ARCS, FRSC, was a biologist and professor at the University of Waterloo and credited with founding the field of lotic limnology, the study of flowing fresh water. Hynes was born in 1917 in Devizes, England, and studied biology at Imperial College in London. After graduating in 1938, he enrolled at the University of London as an external student to study at the lab of the Freshwater Biological Association in the English Lake District. He graduated from the University of London in 1941 with a PhD in entomology; his thesis was on stoneflies (plecoptera).

During World War II, through a British government program to employ scientists in their professional capacity rather than as soldiers, Hynes was sent to Trinidad for six months to study tropical agriculture. In 1942, he married Mary Hinks and was sent to East Africa to work in the locust control program of the British Colonial Office. He spent the rest of the war attempting to eradicate locusts in Ethiopia, Kenya, and Somalia. After the war, he accepted a teaching post at the University of Liverpool. By the end of the 1950s, had established a solid reputation as an aquatic biologist; part of his work during this period related to river pollution.

In 1964, he came to the University of Waterloo to establish the biology department. He was its first permanent chair and spent the rest of his career there. He also spent two sabbatical years studying stoneflies in Australia. When he retired in 1983 he became a distinguished professor emeritus, but continued to work at his lab and with graduate students until 1993. In 1998, he was awarded the Naumann-Theinemann Medal from the Congress of International Limnological Society in Dublin, the highest honour available in the field of aquatic biology.

An internationally renowned biologist, Hynes published over 190 papers in the course of seven decades, and two of his books became classics in the field: The Biology of Polluted Waters (1960) and The Ecology of Running Waters (1970). He pioneered the field of modern stream ecology and was the first to show how food webs in streams depend on the surrounding landscape and how pollution changes them.
