Ernst Stadler and the University of Toronto
View through CrossRef
The first number of the Varsity for the academic year 1914-15 (Wednesday, September 30, 1914) was overshadowed by the outbreak of hostilities between Britain and Germany and the part that the youth of Canadian universities might be required to play in the war. A small paragraph on the third page reported: "George Henry Needler, B.A., Ph.D. (Leipzig) , has been promoted to the head of the department of German. Dr. E. Stadler is now an Associate Professor in German." Exactly one month later, Leutnant Ernst Stadler was killed by a British shell near Ypres on October 30, 1914, aged 31, without ever having taken up his appointment.
