Prof. Molly Ladd-Taylor, Department of History, Faculty of Arts, announced their names at a recent reception held at Founders College. Robert Cuff, professor of history\u00a0\u00a0died suddenly of a stroke, in November 2001.<\/p>\n<p>The following article about the new fellowship was sent to YFile by Carrie Brodi, communications officer with the York University Foundation.<\/p>\n<p>Robert Cuff, internationally-recognized scholar and York faculty member, left a lasting impression on York students and colleagues. During his more than 30 years as professor of history at York, and faculty member at the Schulich School of Business, Cuff built a reputation as a caring teacher and a pre-eminent scholar in his chosen field: the mobilization of modern economies for war.<\/p>\n<p>\"Bob was a distinguished scholar,\" said Prof. Marc Egnal, Department of History, Faculty of Arts, at a reception in Founders College to celebrate the inauguration of the Robert Cuff Fellowship through the York University Foundation. \"But even more than that, Bob was a kind, caring individual, and the epitome of decency and fair-mindedness. Those who knew him also delighted in his wry sense of humour.\"<\/p>\n<p>\"This endowment will be a lasting tribute to Bob\u2019s memory,\" said Robert Drummond, dean of the Faculty of Arts.<\/p>\n<p>More than 60 individuals, including his children Catherine, Peter and Christine, contributed generously to a fund that established a graduate travel fellowship for history and Schulich students. Catherine and Peter were among the many guests at the reception.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two graduate students in history, Jason Reid and Catherine Grant, are the first recipients of the Robert Cuff Fellowship...<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"yfileauthor":[],"qualifier":[],"yfile-author":[],"tags-to-show":[],"workflow":[],"class_list":["post-971","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-latest-news"],"acf":{"internal_publish_date":null,"original_image":null},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
