Over the course of her nearly |z-year reign (w~y} –wvw), Victoria shaped key events in Canadian history, including the after - math of the rebellions in Upper and Lower Canada, the relationship between the Crown and the First Nations, and Confederation. The Queen also shaped Canadian culture and institutions, and her birthday remains a national holiday in Canada. Victoria enjoyed a close relation - ship with Canada from the time of her birth. Her father, Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, was the first member of the royal family to reside in what is now Canada for an extended period of time, living in Quebec City and Halifax and becoming Commander in Chief of the British North American forces in the w}vs. In w}w, the Duke of Kent became the first member of the royal family to visit Kingston as part of a larger tour of Loyalist commu - nities. The Duke of Kent was one of the first public figures to use the word “Canadian” to refer to both English and French Canadians. Prince Edward Island was named in his honour.

As part of the 2014–2016 revitalization project of the richardson stadium, the bronze tablets denoting the stadium’s history were also restored and stabilized. the two oldest tablets, cast in bronze 95 years ago, needed to be treated with special care. one of them was severely warped and needed to be straightened, carefully, in a hydraulic press. the concrete and adhesives that had held the tablets in place for decades were carefully chipped away. the origi - nal bolt hangers were removed and replaced with new fasteners. A water sandblast removed the oxide patinas, revealing the clean, raw bronze beneath. the plaques were then force-dried. A prime coating, followed by several colour coats, was applied before the border and lettering were machined. Finally, multiple clear protective coatings were applied to the rejuvenated tablets to maintain their new - found lustre for years to come.

IN SEARCH OF PROFESSOR CAMPBELL

Peter Colin Campbell was the first professor to be appointed to Queen’s . In ;A>:, he accepted a post as professor of classical literature. Together with Principal Liddell, the Reverend Professor Campbell, a Presbyterian minister, taught the very first classes of the new college, beginning in March ;A><. His name is in the royal charter as one of the founders of Queen’s College. It appears again on a plaque in Grant Hall honouring Queen’s founders. But unlike his co-founders Thomas Liddell, William Morris, and John A. Macdonald, little is known about Peter Colin Campbell. M. Barbara Reeves is changing that. With help from Queen’s alumni in Brockville, her own students and colleagues on campus, and scholars in Scotland, Dr. Reeves, an associate professor in the Department of Classics, is delving into the story of Peter Colin Campbell.

For Queen’s , it serves as an oppor - tunity to reflect on the lessons of the past and to focus on working together to ensure a bright future. Throughout my three years as student coordinator of the w}{th anniversary, I experienced first-hand the diversity of interests and people that are Queen’s University. Along with David Walker and Celia Russell, I spent the last three years trying to inspire people to make the w}{th their own in some special way. The ultimate goal was to catalyze what would become, in retrospect, a tapestry of events and initiatives in which every member of the Queen’s community could see themselves. I also coordi - nated the first phases of the Queen’s Moments project. Through much consultation and many iterations, the Moments project aims to be an t t
