Montreal lawyer and graduate of the University of Toronto. He was born 17 February 1881 in London, Ontario. Magee joined the Canadian Officer Training Corps at McGill University during the Second World War. He enlisted in the 148th Battalion from Montreal as a Lieutenant-Colonel in 1915. Organized by McGee, the Battalion was closely associated with McGill, and most of its recruitment, targeted, as it was, to English-speaking Montrealers, was largely through McGill. He served in England and France, demobilising in 1919. Magee joined McGill's Board of Governors in 1939 and served as an advisor to the Minister of National Defence in the 1940s. He married Madeleine Leslie Smith, with whom he had three children.

Richard Robert Madden was born in 1798 in Dublin, Ireland, and died in 1886 in Booterstown, Ireland. He was the son of Edward Madden and Elizabeth Corey and had twenty siblings. Madden attended private schools and studied medicine in Paris, Italy, and London, and went on to practice medicine in Mayfair, London, for five years. In 1828, Madden married Harriet Elmslie, daughter of John Elmslie (1739-1822), a Scot who owned hundreds of enslaved people on his plantations in Jamaica. They had three sons. Madden became involved in abolitionism, as the transatlantic slave trade had been illegal in the British empire since 1807, but slavery itself remained legal. From 1833, he was employed in the British civil service, first as justice of the peace in Jamaica and then in 1835, as Superintendent of the freed Africans in Havana, Cuba. In 1839, he left Cuba for New York, where he provided important evidence for the defence of the former enslaved people who had taken over the ship called Amistad. In 1840, Madden became Her Majesty’s Special Commissioner of Inquiry into the British Settlements on the West Coast of Africa. He investigated the continued operation of the slave trade on the west coast of Africa, despite the illegality of the shipping of enslaved Africans across the ocean. Madden found that London-based merchants (including British politician Matther Forster) continued to help traders of enslaved people and that slavery was ongoing but disguised in all the coast settlements. In 1847, Madden became the colonial secretary for Western Australia, but he and his wife left for Dublin in 1849 after receiving news of his eldest son’s death. He was named secretary of the Office for Loan Funds in Dublin in 1850. He continued to campaign against slavery in Cuba, speaking at the General Anti-Slavery Convention in London on the topic of slavery in Cuba. Madden published various books including his travel diaries, but his most notable book is called The United Irishmen, Their Lives and Times (1842-1860), which contains details on the Irish Rebellion of 1798.

Falconer Madan was Librarian of the Bodleian Library between 1912 and 1919.

Donald Norman MacVicar was born on August 17, 1869, in Montreal, Quebec.

He was an important architect active in Montreal. He does not appear to have obtained any formal university education in architecture. Much of his experience was gained by working under the direct supervision of Sir Andrew T. Taylor (Taylor & Gordon), a leading architect in Montreal during the last two decades of the 19th century. MacVicar joined Taylor’s office in 1888 and remained there until at least 1893, then traveled in Europe before returning to Montreal. In 1894, he was invited by David R. Brown, a talented young architect, to form a new partnership. They were joined by a new partner, John C.A. Heriot, in 1896, but Brown left to create his own firm in 1898, and MacVicar & Heriot launched their own office which was to become both successful and prosperous. More than one hundred institutional, commercial, and residential works were completed by the firm during the next twenty years. After the unexpected death of Heriot in July 1921, MacVicar continued to practise on his own, but he retained the joint name of his firm. In 1920, he served as President of the Province of Quebec Association of Architects.

In 1907, he married Mary Louise Butler. He died on March 26, 1929, in Montreal, Quebec.

Rev. Donald Harvey MacVicar was born on November 20, 1831, in Lochgilphead, Argyll and Bute, Scotland.

He was a Presbyterian minister, educator, and author. In 1835, his family emigrated to Canada. He was educated at the Toronto Academy, the University of Toronto, and Knox College, the theological school of the Synod of the Presbyterian Church of Canada (Free Church). In 1859, he was ordained a minister to Knox Church, Guelph. In 1861, he accepted a call to Coté Street Church, Montreal. He served as chairman of the senate and principal of the Presbyterian College of Montreal from 1868 until his death. He was also involved with the schools of the French Canadian Missionary Society. His sermons were occasionally published in the Pulpit Treasury (New York). He contributed material to the Presbyterian College’s Journal (including a “College hymn”), to the Presbyterian Church’s Sunday-school periodical Teacher’s Monthly (Toronto), and to the Presbyterian Quarterly Review (Philadelphia) on a wide range of subjects including missions, education, sociology, and Roman Catholicism. In 1870, MacVicar was awarded an honorary degree of LL.D. from McGill College and in 1883, an honorary degree of D.D. from Knox College.

In 1860, he married Eleanor Goulding (1837–1917). He died on December 15, 1902, in Montreal, Quebec.
