University of Toronto. Hungarian Chair

The Chair of Hungarian Studies was created at the University of Toronto in 1978 through a fundraising initiative launched by the Canadian Hungarian community to establish a permanent teaching position in Hungarian studies.  The first Chair in Hungarian Studies was George Bisztray, who taught in the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures until his retirement in 2004.
