MATHESON,
Evelyn
Florence
By Joan STEPHENS and Kathy
NEALE,
Page
A16
Nurse, educator, aunt. Born in Pithapuram, India on November 21,
1921. Died in Dundas, Ontario, on December 6, as the result of
heart failure, aged 85.
Mahatma Gandhi said "You must be the change you wish to see in
the world." Evelyn
MATHESON believed passionately in this principle
and lived her life striving to make positive changes in a troubled
world. A remarkably intelligent, compassionate and generous soul,
she sought and tackled new challenges with courage, commitment
and a keen sense of responsibility.
Evelyn was the eldest child of Arthur
MATHESON and Sybil Grace
MacHUM,
Baptist ministers working as missionaries in South India.
She attended Breeks Memorial School in Ootacumund, graduating
with a Senior Cambridge Certificate in 1937. Evelyn continued
her studies in Canada, and before she turned 20 received a B.A.
from Acadia University. In 1944, she graduated from the School
of Nursing at the Toronto General Hospital, where she worked
on the wards until 1950. After completing an M.A. at Columbia
University in New York, she returned to Toronto General Hospital
as Educational Director of the School of Nursing.
In 1953, looking for new challenges, Evelyn joined the World
Health Organization and was sent to British North Borneo. She
tackled this first assignment with an enthusiasm that even the
loss of her bungalow and all of her belongings in a fire could
not dampen. Early on in her international career, Evelyn realized
that her affiliation with World Health Organization might allow
her to enrich the lives of those less fortunate. When one of
her young Chinese students in Borneo appeared academically gifted,
Evelyn persuaded the organization to fund a scholarship enabling
him to study in Australia and become a doctor. In 1955, she was
stationed in the Sudan where she established the Khartoum Nursing
College, which continues to train nurses to this day.
While living in the Sudan, Evelyn witnessed several governmental
coups d'état, which she once described as rebels "charging in
from the West, riding camels and brandishing spears." From 1962-1964,
on one of her home leaves in Canada, Evelyn served as assistant
professor of nursing at McGill University. She went on to become
the World Health Organization's Regional Nursing Adviser based
in Alexandria, Egypt.
"Determined to visit every continent and island", she also had
postings in Somalia, Yemen and South Korea. It was in Korea that
Evelyn established a primary health-care program in the rural
countryside. Her trips to outlying villages in what was initially
a small sector of South Korea later resulted in a health-care
decree adopted by the entire country. Her final career appointment
was senior World Health Organization nurse educator at the school
of nursing in Rarotonga, Cook Islands.
Evelyn retired from the World Health Organization in 1981 and
returned to Canada, settling in Dundas, Ontario Her retirement
provided her with the opportunity to become an avid gardener,
environmentalist, Liberal Party member, and patron of the arts.
She was a contributing member of the National Ballet, the Toronto
Symphony, the Shaw Festival, the Art Gallery of Ontario, and
the Royal Ontario Museum. She was likewise a passionate advocate
for world peace; she believed, in the words of Benedict Spinoza,
that "peace is not an absence of war, it is a virtue, a state
of mind, a disposition for benevolence, confidence, justice."
Evelyn truly dedicated her life to bettering the lives of others
all around the world. To quote Dag Hammarskjold, one of her heroes,
"We all know that if we feel that what we do is purposeful, not
to say essential for the progress of men and human society in
a broader sense… we are willing to accept hardships and serve
gladly for the sake of serving." Evelyn certainly lived a purposeful
life, bringing education and health care to those living in less
fortunate regions of the world.
Joan and Kathy are Evelyn's nieces.
