¹ú²ú91ÓÈÎ︣ÀûÔÚÏß¹Û¿´â€™s First Professor: Peter Colin Campbell, Professor of Classical Literature
Dr. M. Barbara Reeves
Department of Classics
The Reverend Peter Colin Campbell was ¹ú²ú91ÓÈÎ︣ÀûÔÚÏß¹Û¿´â€™s first Professor of Classical Literature. He was also one of the 26 founders of ¹ú²ú91ÓÈÎ︣ÀûÔÚÏß¹Û¿´â€™s listed in the Royal Charter, a Trustee, the first person hired to teach at ¹ú²ú91ÓÈÎ︣ÀûÔÚÏß¹Û¿´â€™s, and the first member of the Arts Faculty. In spite of his importance in establishing our institution, very little has been written about Professor Campbell in ¹ú²ú91ÓÈÎ︣ÀûÔÚÏß¹Û¿´'s historical accounts and there is no biography or image of him in ¹ú²ú91ÓÈÎ︣ÀûÔÚÏß¹Û¿´â€™s Archives. In conjunction with the Classics Department’s 175 anniversary, Dr. Barbara Reeves has been tracking down information about Professor Campbell's personal life and about his time as a Professor at ¹ú²ú91ÓÈÎ︣ÀûÔÚÏß¹Û¿´â€™s, a Minister in Brockville, and the first Principal of the University of Aberdeen (Scotland). Come learn about the man who helped create our institution and taught our earliest students.
