        The McGill Physical Society was founded in 1897 as a means of bringing members of the teaching staff together to discuss problems in physics. Many important scientists were members of the Society, including Ernest Rutherford, A. S. Eve, H. T. Barnes, Frederick Soddy and H. A. Wilson, and many valuable contributions to science in the forms of reports and paper were given by members before the Society.
