Biographical history
George William Parmalee, educator and historian, was born at Waterloo, Canada East in 1860. He was educated at Queen's University graduating with a B.A. in 1889. In 1902 he was honoured with a D.C.L. from Bishop's College in Lennoxville, and in 1911 with an LL.D. from McGill University. In 1891 he was appointed the English Secretary of the Council of Public Instruction of the Province of Quebec and held the post until his retirement in 1930. After becoming English Secretary he remained closely connected with McGill in the establishment of Macdonald College. Dr. Parmalee also served as Headmaster of the Training School in connection with McGill Normal School. He was the joint editor with Sir Arthur Doughty of The Siege of Quebec and the Battle of the Plains of Abraham (1901), and he compiled The School Law of the Province of Quebec (1899). George William Parmalee died in 1941.
