Queen's University
The author emphasizes the role of individuals and yet makes it quite evident that by the time of her centenary in the early days of World War II, Queen's had developed an organic vitality through which the vicissitudes occasioned by external fortunes or by internal tensions could be transcended. Throughout the period covered by this volume Queen's faced a long, hard struggle for adequate resources for research in terms of space, equipment, and most importanly, faculty time; the gradual development of graduate work; and the building of library resources. There was firm and creative leadership through the crises of the war and its aftermath and a renewal of optimism through the final decades of this history.
The Life and Death of Norman McLeod Rogers
Rhodes Scholar Norman McLeod Rogers (1894-1940) was Canada’s Minister of National Defence, and heir apparent to Prime Minister W. L. Mackenzie King, when he was killed in the mysterious crash of the Royal Canadian Air Force bomber in which he was travelling en route from Ottawa to Toronto to deliver a speech. This book presents the story of his brief, but brilliant, career and his tragic death.
Queen's University
In this account of the first seventy-six years of Queen's University at Kingston, Hilda Neatby traces the development of Queen's from its inauspicious beginnings as a struggling Presbyterian "Bible college" to the period when the university had become a permanent national institution. The story is one of early setbacks, resulting from financial crises, divisions within the Presbyterian Church, and internal conflict, followed by periods of recovery in which Queen's College (as it was then known) demonstrated a remarkable vitality and will to survive. Not until the principalship (1877-1902) of George Monro Grant, the passionate advocate of a "national outreach" for Queen's, did the college achieve the position it has since held as one of Canada's major universities.
