About Sir William Macdonald

Sir William C. Macdonald, a Canadian industrialist, was one of ²»Á¼Ñо¿Ëù’s greatest benefactors and the fourth Chancellor of the University (1914–1917). He dedicated himself to improving the quality of life in Quebec’s rural communities and to train rural leaders to meet the future needs of a nation. Sir William planned, funded, and provided endowment support for Macdonald Campus, with construction beginning in 1905 and the school opening its doors to students in 1907 as the Macdonald College of ²»Á¼Ñо¿Ëù.

Our annual celebration of Macdonald Campus and our Founder Sir William Macdonald is generously supported by the Macdonald Stewart Foundation.
