Albert William Augustine was born to Albert Benjamin Augustine and Caroline Margaret Barbara Breithaupt in Racine, Wisconsin on October 26, 1890. As a young man, Albert attended North-Western College in Naperville, Illinois but he never graduated. After the death in 1909 in Racine of his father, Albert Benjamin, the remaining family members moved to Kitchener, Ontario.

On August 22, 1918, Albert married Edna Louise Kaufman in Kitchener, Ontario and together they had four children; Albert Jacob Augustine, John Ross Augustine, David William Augustine, and Mary Caroline Augustine.

In 1919, Albert acquired the Doering Trunk Company in Waterloo, Ontario. This company was renamed the Superior Box Company in 1932. In 1924, he purchased the Forewell Foundry in Kitchener, Ontario. This company was renamed the Augustine Foundry Company. The Superior Box Company and the Augustine Foundry Company did not survive the Great Depression during the 1930s.

In 1938, Albert developed the White Valley Chemical Company which extracted calcium carbonate from the bottom of a lake near Bobcaygeon, Ontario. This company closed in 1941.

The Aryan Affairs Commission (AAC) was a student organization established by Harold D. Goldbrick at the University of Waterloo in Fall 1967. Harold D. Goldbrick was likely a pseudonym as there is no evidence of a student under this name graduating from the university. Goldbrick, who wrote for The Chevron, reportedly created the AAC to generate material for his weekly column, “As the words wag on.”[1] Goldbrick penned this column from June 9, 1967, until at least March 1, 1968. In a document provided alongside the first meeting minutes of the AAC, the club's purpose was stated as promoting Aryanic languages and fostering positive relationships between individuals of Aryan and non-Aryan descent.[2] During an interview with The Chevron on November 10, 1967, Goldbrick stated, “Well, I was thinking that maybe too much attention is being paid to minority groups – Germans, Canadians, French Canadians, Newfies, Ontarians, Conservatives, Liberals, Communists, Fascists, Homosexuals, Heterosexuals.”[3] On November 24, 1967, Goldbrick stated in his column that the AAC, “was first formed as a backlash to Afghanistan power and various other preversions of the bored of intimate relations. However, since then we have gone so far afield and attracted such wide membership interest that the name of the group is losing its meaning. It will, of course, be retained to be consistent with the other meaningless aspects of the group.”[4]

The AAC was considered a satirical club by its members and others across campus. In the handbook What’s what at uniwat 1968-69, published by the Federation of Students, the AAC is cited as the biggest in-joke on campus, an anti-organization and apathy club as well as fascist, communist, racist, anarchist, neo-Nazi, and liberal. The AAC staged various pranks, jokes, and activities on campus such as the opening and closing buildings, integrating crosswalks, capturing radio stations, burning books, and holding at least one Beer Hall Putsch, an event where members pushed beer bottles across a hallway with their head.[5] It seems that the AAC played a more active role on campus by 1968.[6] The AAC was involved in the organization of the Miles for Millions march in 1968, an annual fundraising event for charity held nationwide in Canada.[7]

The AAC received formal club recognition by the Federation of Students (now the Waterloo Undergraduate Student Association, WUSA) in Spring 1968. Initially, AAC's application for club recognition was denied due to a new policy requiring all clubs to submit written constitutions rather than form-based constitutions.[8] There is some evidence to suggest that the ACC was also not granted club recognition due to concerns of potential discriminatory practices. However, these concerns were apparently dispelled and after resubmitting their constitution, the AAC was granted club recognition by the Federation of Students.[9]

The operations of the AAC were overseen by an executive board until the group started convening in a washroom, at which point the board was restructured and rebranded as the 'privy council'. This council consisted of a select group of individuals who wore top hats with a red ribbon.[10]

The organizational structure of the privy council parodied that of the university and Federation of Students. The council included the president, vice president in charge of vice, the comptroller, the registrar, the chairman of the board of propaganda, the chairman of the board of student activities, and the chief jock of the board of athletics, among other roles. Further information outlining the responsibilities of some of these positions can be found in What’s what at uniwat 1968-69, published by the Federation of Students.[11]

Membership was open to all. The official marching-song of the AAC was “Lapland.”[12]

The AAC was listed in the Federation of Students handbook until at least 1972.[13] It is uncertain if the club remained active after that time.

While the AAC may have been intended as a satirical club, the organization’s name and use of the term ‘Aryan’ carries racist connotations. The group’s name has been maintained in keeping with Special Collections & Archives’ approach to language in archival descriptions, which prioritizes speaking openly about and clearly identifying problematic, harmful, and otherwise offensive records in the department’s holdings. This approach, while potentially upsetting, allows for the critical assessment and questioning of historical material by contemporary researchers.

Initially located in the parking lot behind Willison Hall, Annex 1 was built by Geratt Construction Co. and housed temporary classrooms and drafting rooms for the new co-operative engineering program established by Waterloo College and Associate Faculties (now University of Waterloo). Some offices were also located inside the building. The space could not accommodate science labs, which had to be conducted in WLU’s arts building.

Annex 1 was demolished in 1968.[2] Annex 2 was kept until the Food Services Building (now South Campus Hall) was completed in September 1967. Annex 3 and Annex 4 were demolished around 1965.[3]

Alpha Delta Kappa is an honorary sorority for women educators, founded in 1947 by Agnes Shipman Robertson, Marie Neal, Marion Southall and Hattie Poppino.

The Alexandra Studios was a Toronto, Ontario-based photographic studio.

The studio was started by Louis J. Turofsky in 1911 and occupied a number of Toronto locations until it ceased operations in 1976. The studio seems to have evolved through a number of name changes, including Alexandre Studios from 1915-1921, and then known as Alexandra Studios from 1922-1953. From 1954-1963 the business was known as Turofsky Photographers. In 1964 the firm again was known as Alexandra Studio, becoming the Alexander (or Alexandra) Studio-Turofsky from 1973 to 1974, after which it appeared to have the name of Alexander Studio.

Photographers employed by the studio included Louis J. Turofsky, Nathan Turofsky, Harold Crellin, and Roy P. Mitchell. It would appear that Louis and Nathan Turofsky no longer were involved with the studio after 1960, after which date Crellin and Mitchell ran the business. From 1973-1974 Crellin was President of the company, with Mitchell as Secretary-treasurer. From 1975 until the closing of the studio in 1976, Mitchell appears to have been the President of the company.
