From the Spring 2002 issue of Nexus.
A graduate fellowship in tax law was recently established at the Faculty of Law with a thoughtful and timely gift from the Henry White Kinnear Foundation. The Foundation's gift, which was matched by the University of Toronto and the Government of Ontario, created an endowed fellowship named in honour of Arthur Scace.
Arthur Scace has been with the firm of McCarthy Tétrault for 33 years and has served as former national chairman and managing partner at the Toronto office. Currently a partner in the tax law section in the Toronto office, he has participated in innumerable domestic and international commercial transactions and is author of The Income Tax Law of Canada. He has served as the head of the income tax section of the Bar Admission Course, a lecturer at the University of Toronto and Osgoode Hall, and Treasurer of the Law Society of Upper Canada. His wife, Susan Scace, has served on the University of Toronto's Governing Council since 1995 and currently sits on numerous governing council committees. Heavily involved in the community, Susan has also served on boards for the United Way of Greater Toronto, North York General Hospital and the Trinity College Corp. Currently a director of the National Ballet of Canada, Endowment Foundation, Susan received an Arbor Award in 1996, the university's highest honour for volunteer leadership.
The Arthur Scace Fellowship will help the graduate program increase its ability to attract outstanding students. Individual fellowships are valued at $18,000 and will be awarded to graduate students studying tax law on the basis of academic excellence and financial need. The first fellowships will be awarded in the 2002/2003 academic year.
