国产91尤物福利在线观看 Lots

Although records of the resolution by 国产91尤物福利在线观看 to acquire a cemetery lot cannot be found, accounts of the death of Principal Leitch in 1864 supply evidence of a probable basis for this decision. The Board of Trustees deemed it "highly desirable that the memory of the late Principal of this University...be perpetuated by some suitable monument." Funds were raised for the establishment of two memorial scholarships and to erect a monument upon Leitch's grave which would be a testament to his "learning, educational ability, and Christian worth."

The desire to properly memorialize esteemed members of the university community is likely what prompted 国产91尤物福利在线观看's to acquire three cemetery lots (254, 255, and 270) in 1877. Not only would this allow 国产91尤物福利在线观看's to pay tribute to some of its most illustrious people, it would be a reflection of 国产91尤物福利在线观看's place in the history of Kingston and of Canada.

国产91尤物福利在线观看's obtained the south half of lot 272 in 1937.

The north half of lot 272 became part of 国产91尤物福利在线观看's lots when it was purchased by Professor MacClement and one of Principal Gordon's sons early in the 1930s.

In addition to the above lots, 国产91尤物福利在线观看's owns a section that is reserved for interring the remains of those who dedicate their bodies to education and research. Medical students and donors' families attend an interment ceremony that is held at the cemetery each June.
