When Canadian business leader and philanthropist Seymour Schulich met Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Principal Daniel Woolf (Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션�80), it wasn카지노 게임 컬렉션�t long before the pair realized they had more than a passion for education in common. They also shared a love of rare books.

Principal Woolf had long planned to donate his book collection to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s. However, his discussions with Mr. Schulich inspired him to fast-track those plans.

Mr. Schulich and Principal Woolf jointly donated their personal collections to create the Schulich-Woolf Rare Book Collection at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s 카지노게임사이트, which was unveiled to the public during a ceremony at the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Douglas Library on Wednesday, Nov. 23.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�There reaches a point where mortality dictates great collections must be shared,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says the 77-year-old philanthropist, who was accompanied by his daughter, Judy Schulich, at the unveiling. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�I hope to be part of building one of Canada카지노 게임 컬렉션�s best English rare book collections.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

Principal Woolf, a historian, scholar, and professor as well as administrator, shares the optimism of his partner in philanthropy. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�By the time we카지노 게임 컬렉션�re done building this, I don카지노 게임 컬렉션�t think there will be a better collection outside of the Ivy League universities and the Folger Shakespeare Library in North America,카지노 게임 컬렉션� he says, 카지노 게임 컬렉션�certainly not of historical and topographical books from the period.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

The collection, a combined 400 books, focuses on 16th-18th-century English history and culture but also includes volumes on travel, antiquities, and Canadiana.

Vice-Provost and 카지노게임사이트 Librarian Martha Whitehead expects the collection to resonate with students. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�Students get a real thrill when they encounter a physical volume from centuries past,카지노 게임 컬렉션� she says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�Studying original artifacts, rather than copies, provides an insight into the material culture of the time.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

In addition to the books, Mr. Schulich made a $2 million donation to help build and preserve the collection and make it accessible to students and researchers, both at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s and beyond.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�This donation gives us the means to acquire items we would never otherwise be able to acquire,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Dr. Alvan Bregman, Curator of the Schulich-Woolf Rare Book Collection. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�The volumes are important, not only as texts but also as artifacts to be used by students and researchers in a wide range of subjects.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

A titan of Canadian industry whose career spanned the financial services and mining sectors, Mr. Schulich has distinguished himself as a philanthropist over the last two decades, donating more than $350 million to universities and hospitals throughout Canada, the U.S., and Israel.

In 2011, he launched the Schulich Leader Scholarships, a $100-million program that provides full scholarships to promising high school graduates with a passion for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Since the program카지노 게임 컬렉션�s inception, Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s has been a top-five destination for Schulich Leaders. Fourteen of them have chosen to study at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s.
