...seems fitting that the newest addition to the fast-growing University of Toronto-home base for Canada's baffling communications theorist Marshall McLuhan*-is probably the most television-conscious college in the world. Fully 45% of the instruction at suburban Toronto's Scarborough College is transmitted throughout its single twisting concrete building (see color pages) by television. The college was literally built around its TV facilities...
...Scarborough, which opened in 1965, is one of two "satellite" campuses of the University of Toronto created to handle an enrollment expansion from 19,300 fulltime students at present to 35,000 by 1970. The second, Erindale, will open across town next fall. The satellites are undergraduate commuter colleges that do not require students to attend any classes on the hemmed-in downtown campus, although some professors will have to shuttle...
...Nerve Center. The advantage of television, contends Scarborough Dean W. E. Beckel, is that "we can make a small number of really first-class professors available to the widest group of students." Scarborough's nerve center is a main television-production studio (60 ft. by 50 ft.) and five adjacent smaller studios.

Except for educational films, Scarborough produces all of its own TV instructional material, 60% of it on Videotape...
More than a third of Canada's university students attend Ontario colleges, which are largely fed by the province's 13-grade public-school system. The University of Toronto is spinning off satellite colleges, including Scarborough, which will open in Toronto next fall with 500 students, and Erindale, which will start in 1966. An earlier Toronto satellite, York University, is moving onto a brand-new campus on the west side of Toronto, leaving its old building to just-founded Glendon College, which is modeled on Swarthmore. Some 16 buildings are under construction or planned at Ontario...
...Cheevers have three children. Susan, 20, is a junior at Pembroke; Ben, 15, is at the Scarborough School; and Frederico, 7, goes to a local elementary school. The family moved to Scarborough, a heavily wooded community just south of Ossining, in 1950, renting what Cheever describes as a "remodeled tool shed" on the huge estate of Frank A. Vanderlip Sr., onetime president of the National City Bank. After M-G-M bought The Housebreaker of Shady Hill for around $40,000 in 1956 (it was never made into a movie), the Cheevers took off for a year in Italy, returned...
