A. Britton Smith, MC, QC, LLD카지노 게임 컬렉션09, the founder and executive chairman of Kingston-based Homestead Land Holdings, has given Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Faculty of Health Sciences a series of gifts totalling $9 million.
Among them is a $3.5 million donation to the Department of Surgery to establish the Britton Smith Chair in Surgery and a $4-million donation to the School of Nursing to establish the Sally Smith Chair in Nursing.
In addition to the new chairs, Mr. Smith has donated $500,000 toward a chair in surgical research, $500,000 toward creation of the Paul B. Helliwell Chair in Orthopaedic Research and $500,000 for a nursing endowment. Mr. Smith카지노 게임 컬렉션s wife of 68 years, Edith 카지노 게임 컬렉션Sally카지노 게임 컬렉션 (Carruthers) Smith, died in June 2012 after a courageous battle with cancer.
카지노 게임 컬렉션Sally wasn카지노 게임 컬렉션t a nurse, but she and I certainly had great respect for nurses and the good work they do,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Mr. Smith. He says that potential donors sometimes overlook the School of Nursing when they카지노 게임 컬렉션re considering support for the Faculty of Health Sciences, and so he wanted to give a sizeable chunk of money where he felt it would make a significant difference.
카지노 게임 컬렉션Everyone in the School of Nursing was overwhelmed and absolutely thrilled by Mr. Smith카지노 게임 컬렉션s donation, which is the largest by a long way that we카지노 게임 컬렉션ve ever received,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Dr. Jennifer Medves, Vice-Dean (Health Sciences) and Director of the School of Nursing.
Brit and Sally Smith, both Kingston-born and raised, long have been generous supporters of their community and of Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s. (Mrs. Smith was a granddaughter of John Carruthers, who supplied much of the money for Carruthers Hall in 1889). Mr. Smith, who celebrated his 94th birthday in May, gave to the Initiative Campaign to help build the new home of the School of Medicine, and he has also pledged a million dollars towards the project to revitalize Richardson Stadium.
카지노 게임 컬렉션I grew up in a family that believed if you카지노 게임 컬렉션ve been blessed in life and have been fortunate enough to do well, you should give back to the community. I카지노 게임 컬렉션ve always tried to do that,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Mr. Smith.
A 1940 graduate of RMC, he served four years during the Second World War with the Canadian army in England and in France, where in July 1944 he was critically wounded. He won the Military Cross for his battlefield bravery. Back in Kingston, Sally Carruthers drove a Red Cross blood donation wagon. The couple was married soon after Mr. Smith returned to Kingston in November 1944.
With his wife카지노 게임 컬렉션s encouragement, Mr. Smith went on to earn his law degree at Osgoode Hall 카지노 게임 컬렉션 카지노 게임 컬렉션Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s didn카지노 게임 컬렉션t have a law school back then,카지노 게임 컬렉션 he hastens to point out 카지노 게임 컬렉션 and then practised locally for more than a half century. He served for six years on Kingston city council and wrote two books of local history. In 1954, he started Homestead Land Holdings, now one of Ontario카지노 게임 컬렉션s largest residential landlords, with more than 24,000 units.
카지노 게임 컬렉션I feel very close to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s even if I didn카지노 게임 컬렉션t study there,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Mr. Smith. 카지노 게임 컬렉션I grew up near campus and watched football games at the old Richardson Stadium. I met Sally at a Sunday tea held at the home of Electrical Engineering professor Douglas Jemmett [MA 1911, BSc 1913] and his wife. I have many family members, friends and business associates who are Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s graduates, and, of course, in 2009 the university was kind enough to award me an honorary degree.카지노 게임 컬렉션
