Champlain
College, whose name honours the great explorer and founder of New France,
lies on the banks of the Otonabee River near the heart of the Symons
Campus. The college is widely acclaimed for its beauty and provides
an appropriate setting for the casual and formal activities of college
life.
The centre of the college is
the impressive Great Hall and its adjacent common rooms. The two residential
quads are divided into staircases with five single study-bedrooms clustered
on each floor. Although the residence is co-educational, one section
is reserved as women's residence. Tutorial offices for faculty fellows,
dons' residences and seminar rooms are interspersed throughout the
college. Non-residents share with residents the use of the common rooms,
the squash court, music practice room, the Ceilie (a licensed pub and
games room run by students that operates daily and hosts regular evening
special functions) and Junior Common Room, Reading Carrels and the
Morton Reading Room.
To the north, beyond the Alumni House, the playing field is suitable for a pick-up game of soccer,
football, hockey, softball or frisbee.
The academic life of the college includes
Champlain's Society (for guest speakers), the Scholars' Dinners and
special lecture series. The student Cabinet, elected annually by the
Champlain student body, organizes many social and cultural activities
to supplement the regular curriculum, in particular, Harvest Weekend
in the Fall term and Bon Temps in the Winter term. In co-operation
with the faculty College Council, the Cabinet also shares in decisions
affecting the administration of the college. Members of Champlain College
have enjoyed a long tradition of active participation in University
activities: athletic, social and communal. Champlain College is home
to the departments of Economics, Comparative Development Studies, Political
Studies and the Trent International Program. The college also offers
annually a series of College Courses, short intensive non-credit explorations
of cultural and intellectual topics. Past courses have included Mathematics
and Poetry, Science and the Arts, the Aboriginal Arts in Canada, East
Indian Culture and Heritage, Children's Literature, Celtic Studies,
the Culture of the Child, and a series on Gandhi and Pacifism. Each
year Champlain College hosts a program of artists and writers in residence
as well as speakers on politics, the arts and journalism.
