“Architects’ mistakes should be covered with ivy and doctors’ with sod”
Every year thousands of Canadians are killed or injured because of medical mistakes. Plaintiffs, however, face several challenges to suing doctors successfully for malpractice. One challenge is the reluctance of some doctors to criticize other medical professionals, sometimes referred to as the “conspiracy of silence.” This article focuses on the attention given to the conspiracy of silence in Ontario in the 1960s when Dr. Morton Shulman, the pug…

Scholarly attention to the history of the legal repression of perceived radicalism in Canada has grown substantially since 9/11. This interest infuses the recent volumes of the Canadian state-trials series published by the University of Toronto Press and the Osgoode Society for Canadian Legal History, and other works such as Secret Service: Political Policing in Canada from the Fenians to Fortress America by Reg Whitaker, Gregory S. Kealey, and A…

Firearm “Rights” in Canada
This article explains why and how some Canadians have asserted a right to possess firearms from the late nineteenth century to the early twenty-first century. It demonstrates that several late-nineteenth-century politicians asserted a right to arms for self-defence purposes based on the English Bill of Rights. This “right” was forgotten until opponents of gun control dusted it off in the late twentieth century. Firearm owners began to assert such…

‘Every boy ought to learn to shoot and to obey orders’
Firearms became a key part of boy and male youth culture in English Canada before the Great War. By the 1890s, imperialist sentiments had infused the growing interest in hunting, advocates of which celebrated the value of rifle shooting by suggesting that it made boys into ideal British men. As well, emerging worries about the feminization of urban youth led to calls for military drill and rifle training. At the same time, businesses heavily mark…

A Delusion, a Mockery, and a Snare”
In the historiography of the criminal trial, the law regarding array challenges has received little attention. A challenge to the array involved a party objecting to the composition of the panel of potential jurors from which the trial jury would be selected. Array challenges often arose when the defendant believed that the sheriff, or other official with responsibility to select the jury, had packed the jury pool with individuals who would find …

A microprocessor design project in an introductory VLSI course
An introductory very large scale integration (VLSI) design course has been taught at the University of Michigan (USA) since 1980. In 1990, it was redesigned around a simple 8-bit microprocessor project in the format described in this paper; in 1996, the project was updated to a 16 bit reduced instruction set computer (RISC) processor. The authors describe the course philosophy, content, and the baseline architecture from which class projects begi…
Incorporating computer-aided design into an electrical engineering/computer science curriculum
The restructuring of the circuits and computer hardware courses at the University of Michigan's Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science to include a uniform set of electronic design automation (EDA) tools beginning early in the undergraduate curriculum is discussed. The ability to teach good engineering in the department has been significantly strengthened by these changes. The program and the details which have made it successf…
Greeks in Assyria
Two-Year Outcome of Adult Intensive Care Patients
Five hundred fifty-eight patients admitted to a general/medical surgical intensive care unit were studied 2 years after hospital discharge to determine whether they were still alive, were able to perform daily activities, and had returned to work. The overall 2-year survivorship (hospital and long-term) was 63.5%. Two-year survival was considerably lower for patients with certain condition or treatment characteristics than for others. This ranged…
