Arthur A. Schmon fonds

Arthur Albert Schmon was born in 1895 in Newark, New Jersey. During his studies at Barringer High School in Newark, he met Eleanore Celeste Reynolds who was to become his wife in August of 1919. Mr. Schmon studied English literature at Princeton and graduated with honours in 1917. That same year, Mr. Schmon joined the United States Army where he served under Colonel McCormick as an adjutant in field artillery in World War I. In 1919, he was discharged as a captain. Colonel McCormick (editor and publisher of the Chicago Tribune) offered Schmon a job in his Shelter Bay pulpwood operations. Mr. Schmon accepted the challenge of working at this lonely outpost on the lower St. Lawrence River. Schmon was promoted to Woodlands Manager in 1923. In 1930, he became the General Manager. This was expected to be a seasonal operation but the construction of the mill led to the building of a town (Baie Comeau) and its power development. All of this was accomplished under Schmon’s leadership. In 1933, he was elected the President and General Manager of the Ontario Paper Company. He later became the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Arthur Schmon made his home in St. Catharines where he played an active role in the community. Schmon was a member of the Founders’ Committee at Brock University and he was a primary force behind the establishment of a University in the Niagara Region. The Brock University Tower is named after him. He also served as Chairman of the St. Catharines Hospital Board of Governors for over 15 years, and was responsible for guiding the hospital through a 3 million dollar expansion program. He was a Governor of Ridley College and an Honorary Governor of McMaster University in Hamilton. Mr. Schmon died of lung cancer on March 18, 1964. He had been named as the St. Catharines’ citizen of the year just one week earlier. Mr. Schmon had 2 sons Robert McCormick Schmon, who was chairman of the Ontario Paper Co. Ltd., St. Catharines, Canada, and the Q.N.S. Paper Co., Baie-Comeau, Canada. He was also director of a Chicago Tribune Co. He died at the age of 61. Another son, Richard R. Schmon, was a second lieutenant in the 313th Field Artillery Battalion, 80th Infantry Division in World War II. He was listed as missing in action on November 5, 1944.

Postures littéraires et modernité dans les chroniques sur les régions d'Arthur Buies

Dans notre étude, nous cherchons à démontrer qu'Arthur Buies se présente comme le témoin d'une forme de modernité dans ses chroniques sur les régions qui sont publiées dans les années 1870 dans divers journaux puis rassemblées en trois recueils. En effet, nous nous appuyons sur l'idée qu'il observerait sensiblement les mêmes traits dans ses chroniques rurales que dans ses chroniques urbaines. Nous pensons aussi que les postures littéraires (Jérôme Meizoz) qu'il adopte permettent à Buies de transmettre - de manière formelle - sa vision de la modernité. Au terme de la recherche, il ressort que Buies, conscient de ce qu'est la modernité, juge qu'elle ne se trouve pas inéluctablement dans les villes. Pour lui, Paris et San Francisco sont modernes, alors que Québec ne l'est pas. De plus, pour lui, il existe bel et bien une forme de modernité dans les chroniques rurales, puisqu'il y observe sensiblement les mêmes traits que ceux qu'il relevait dans ses chroniques sur Paris et San Francisco. Aussi, Buies est-il convaincu que la colonisation au Québec stagne. Il en vient à ce constat lorsqu'il la compare à celle se produisant simultanément aux États-Unis. Toutefois, il remarque un certain progrès au cours de la décennie, insuffisant, selon lui, pour compenser l'absence de chemin de fer sur la rive nord du Saint-Laurent. Nous concluons, à partir de nos analyses, que les postures littéraires que Buies choisit - particulièrement celle du flâneur et celle du géographe - lui permettent de véhiculer les traits de la modernité dans l'écriture même de ses chroniques.
