Doctors Without Borders
“This is an honour which I never dreamed of achieving when I first stepped into these hallowed buildings,” said David Halton in his keynote address to first-year Trinity College students at the College’s matriculation ceremony on Sept. 6.
Halton, who graduated in 1962 with an honours BA in History, recently retired from a 40-year broadcasting career with the CBC, which included stints as a correspondent in Paris, Moscow, and London. In his address, Halton stressed the importance of learning history.
“The study of history proved enormously useful to me in my career as a journalist,” he said. “It taught me to guard against my own biases and opinions.... It taught me the constant need for skepticism to counter the distortions that often emanate from officialdom.”
Malcolm D. Knight ’67, general manager of the Bank for International Settlements in Switzerland since 2003, was honoured for his contributions to international finance. Knight began his career as an economist in the early 1970s as an assistant professor at the University of Toronto but switched to policy research when he joined the International Monetary Fund in 1975. By 1998, he was one of three deputy directors heading the IMF’s relations with European countries. From 1999 to 2003, he served as senior deputy governor of the Bank of Canada.
The Rev. Dr. Jae Joung Lee, who graduated with a Trinity College doctorate in theology in 1988, was honoured for his significant work in the Anglican Church of Korea. Lee served as Archdeacon of Seoul and later oversaw the conversion of Seoul's St. Michael’s Seminary into a full-fledged university, SungKongHoe University. He is currently senior vice-president of the National Unification Advisory Council, working for peaceful reunification with North Korea.
All three honorary graduates received the Doctor of Sacred Letters degree (honoris causa) from Trinity.
