Origin of Association’s Crest Some of our members have inquired regarding the origin of our crest and its significance. The book and quill design was the achievement of a Toronto commercial artist whom we asked to design a letterhead and crest for us back in the early days of organization, explaining to him that we wanted something which would typify the secretary or scribe.

When the design was submitted to the committee in charge of selecting appropriate letterhead and crest, it was immediately agreed that the book and quill could not be bettered. Not only did it depict the working tools of the scribe but it also included the letter “A” which, as you well know, is prominent in the name of the Association!

We are grateful to the artist for his skill in design and to Mr. W.G. Frisby (whose leadership inspired formation of the Association) for knowing the artist personally. (National Notes Vol. 1, No. 1, July 1957) The Association’s crest, our distinctive emblem, has acquired an official identity. It has been certified

as our exclusive trade mark by the Registrar of Trade Marks for Canada under date of November 3, 1961, bearing the number 124,213. Another forward step has been taken in strengthening the positive image being developed by the Association. No more appropriate design could portray our “corporate image” than the open book and quill; the book, the mark of the student, the seeker of improvement; the quill, the mark of the scribe, he who executes and puts to use the knowledge acquired. The meaning is quite clear.

We intend our image to have particular significance in the minds of management. As we accept membership in the Association, we accept personally a full share of responsibility for communicating this meaning with integrity and with forcefulness. Constant and combined effort is needed to mold and shape the true picture of the aims and achievements of the Association, and to make it last. A good image is not just desirable, it is absolutely essential for success.

The official language of the certification states that registration was granted on the basis of the use in Canada by the Association of the crest symbol for the following services: 1) The dissemination of association literature; 2) Providing its members with facilities for advanced education and a common meeting ground

for the exchange of ideas; 3) Circulation of a bulleting “National Notes” to the membership 4) Making available to its members and to the public an educational course by correspondence

conducted for it through an accredited Canadian University. “Training for the advanced secretarial worker has rarely been framed with due sense of the magnitude of the requirements”

National Annual Meetings The following is an excerpt from a letter written on February 21, 1983 by Margaret Stuart, Toronto Branch, to Hardy Bunn: “Here is a list of NATIONAL Annual Meetings since 1961. Prior to 1961, we were not a NATIONAL GROUP, ALTHOUGH Annual Meetings were held each year. From 1951 to 1957, the Association was comprised of three branches: Toronto (1951), Hamilton (1955) and Ottawa (1956). The Toronto group, as the founding group, conducted all the business of the Association and the head of the Toronto group was known as PRESIDENT. The first Constitution of the Association of Administrative Assistants called for the formation of a National Council when there were ten branches, but, as expansion continued, there was too much work for one executive (Toronto) to handle and in 1957 it was decided to form an INTERIM NATIONAL Council. At that time, the title “President” was given to the head of the Interim National Council and the title “Chairman” was reserved for the head of each branch. Today, of course, all heads are known as Presidents. The early Annual Meeting were held in the Toronto area. In the early days, we didn’t have a precise place for meetings – most of our meetings, through the help of Walter Frisby, were held in University buildings.” Dates of Annual General Meetings Date Location Facility 11th May 27, 1961 Toronto King Edward Hotel May 26, 1962 Toronto King Edward Hotel May 25, 1963 Sarnia Drawbridge Inn May 30, 1964 Ottawa Bruce MacDonald 15th May 29, 1965 Toronto Royal York Hotel May 21, 1966 Winnipeg Fort Garry Hotel May 27, 2967 Montreal Aeroport Hilton May 25, 2968 Hamilton Holiday Inn May 17, 1969 Vancouver Georgia Hotel 20th May 16, 1970 Sarnia Drawbridge Inn May 22, 1971 Calgary Palliser Hotel May 20, 1972 Ottawa Skyline Hotel May 19, 1973 Edmonton Chateau Lacombe May 18, 1974 London University of Western Ontario 25th May 17, 1975 Toronto University of Toronto May 22, 1976 Winnipeg Viscount Gort May 28, 1977 Hamilton Holiday Inn May 27, 1978 Ottawa Skyline Hotel May 26, 1979 Sarnia Holiday Inn 30th May 31, 1980 Calgary University of Calgary May 23, 1981 Toronto Holiday Inn May 22, 1982 Vancouver Hyatt Regency May 14, 1983 Hamilton Holiday Inn May 26, 1984 Winnipeg Westin Hotel

BACKGROUND OF THE

ADMINISTRATIVE CORRESPONDENCE COURSE

conducted by the University of Toronto

School of Continuing Studies

for the

Association of Administrative Assistants

(1) Since one of the Purposes of the Association was to provide educational facilities for

its members, and since membership would, in due course, be continent-wide, it was

decided by the founding members that a specially designed correspondence course

would be the most effective means of accomplishing this purpose. Because of our

close affiliation with the University of Toronto, it was decided to approach them for

assistance in setting up the type of correspondence course desired. The first

approach was made in 1953, and many discussions followed.

(2) The University’s initial reaction to our request for a correspondence course was to

offer an evening tutorial course for secretaries (considerably expanded from the

secretarial tutorial course which had been presented for some years past), to be

sponsored by the Association. We accepted the challenge, and the evening course

was launched in the autumn of 1955. The response was so great that the Department

of Extension agreed to approach the University Senate Committee with the

recommendation that our correspondence course be undertaken.

(3) With consent from the Senate Committee, the first two subjects of the course were

written – English Composition and Psychology – and the course was presented to

the public in October 1957. By the Fall of 1959, the complete course was ready –

eight subjects, six to be written in order to achieve a certificate. In May 1960, the

first graduates emerged! These graduates were honored at a Graduates’ Dinner in

September 1960 – the first of the Tri-Branch Dinners held yearly in Toronto for the

graduates, their friends, and regular members.
