Only two people worked at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s when it opened in March 1842. One of them, The Reverend Peter Colin Campbell, had long been a mysterious figure in the university카지노 게임 컬렉션s history. As the first professor, Reverend Campbell taught classical literature, which was seen as essential material for university students. Very little was known about him until Dr. Barbara Reeves, a professor in Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Department of Classics, began researching Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s history as part of her department카지노 게임 컬렉션s 175 celebrations.
Since January, Dr. Reeves has been researching and sharing stories about the history of classics at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s through a dedicated Facebook page. It was the lack of information on Reverend Campbell that caught her attention. 카지노 게임 컬렉션He is actually one of the 26 founders listed on Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Charter and the only one who becomes a Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s professor,카지노 게임 컬렉션 she explains. In fact, Reverend Campbell went on to become principal at the 카지노게임사이트 of Aberdeen.
During her research, Dr. Reeves uncovered a copy of a 33-page document that Reverend Campbell presented to the Legislature of (the Province of) Canada in 1845 on the role of university in society. 카지노 게임 컬렉션He카지노 게임 컬렉션s a very thoughtful, intelligent individual. So it카지노 게임 컬렉션s no surprise he ends up being principal of a prestigious university because thinking about education was very important to him,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Dr. Reeves.
Next week, she will share everything she has learned about this mysterious figure in Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s history during a kick-off to Homecoming lecture. When Dr. Reeves began her project, she discovered that there wasn카지노 게임 컬렉션t even have a picture of Reverend Campbell in the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Archives. Working with an undergraduate research student, Dr. Reeves has uncovered a trove of new information about Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s first professor. She now has a photograph of him, thanks to the 카지노게임사이트 of Aberdeen Archives and a much more complete picture of his life story.
