Some History...
Bishop's University is a small English-language liberal
arts university in Lennoxville,
a borough of Sherbrooke,
Quebec, Canada. The founder of the institution was
the Anglican
Bishop of Quebec, George
Mountain, who also served as the first principal of McGill
University. It is one of three universities in the province of Quebec that teach primarily in English (the others being McGill University
and Concordia
University, both in Montreal).
It began its foundation by absorbing the Lennoxville Classical School as Bishop's
College School in the 1840s. The college was formally founded in 1843 and received a royal
charter from Queen
Victoria in 1853.
BCS was first known as the Lennoxville Classical
School by the Rev. Lucius
Doolittle (1800?1862) (M.A., Vermont)
assisted by Edward Chapman (M.A., Cambridge). Traditionally,
the school catered to the sons of the Protestant elites in the United
Empire Loyalists and the residents of the Montreal Golden
Square Mile. A
link to the Canadian
Royal Family was maintained by King Edward
VII, George
V, George
VI, Edward
VIII, whether during royal
visits or whilst studying in Canada. In May 1989, The
Duke of Edinburgh inspected BCS cadet corps and presented the school a new coat
of arms. The BCS Cadet Corps #2 is the oldest continuous service corps in Canada and is
affiliated with the Black
Watch. Over 120 alumni
made the ultimate sacrifice in the First and Second World War.
