Benefactions

The first Friday of February is a tradition at Dalhousie University which I’ve mentioned previously here at Slaw. The first Friday in February is Munro Day, a Dalhousie holiday in honour of the benefactor who rescued the university from a precarious financial position in 1879. This time there is a short video to go along with the Munro Day link celebrating Dalhousie’s rich history. In the spirit of George Munro, last fall Seymour Schulich made a transformative donation to the Law School at Dalhousie University which has since been renamed the Schulich School of Law at Dalhousie University. Part of that generous donation enabled students at the Schulich School of Law to benefit in the form of substantial scholarships, so it somewhat fitting that the list of the students who have received those scholarships this year have been named just in time for Munro Day. Congratulations to this year’s Schulich Scholars!
