 the life and generosity of our benefactor\, Sir William Christopher Macdon
 ald. Sir William was a great industrialist and one of our country’s leadin
 g philanthropists. His greatest cause was education and his generosity tow
 ard McGill was boundless. He was one of McGill University's greatest benef
 actors\, the fourth Chancellor of the University (1914-1917) and was dedic
 ated to improving the quality of life in Quebec’s rural communities and tr
 aining rural leaders to meet the future needs of a nation.\n\nIn 1907 Sir 
 William founded Macdonald College as the School of Agriculture\, the Schoo
 l of Household Science and the School for Teachers. Significant changes ha
 ve taken place since the College’s founding and the Faculty of Agricultura
 l and Environmental Sciences has developed into a world leader addressing 
 global needs in the fields of food\, nutrition and health\, agriculture\, 
 biodiversity\, applied biosciences\, climate change and the environment.\n
 \nThe event is held on the Thursday closest to the anniversary of his birt
 h - February 10\, 1831. Founder’s Day festivities are an occasion to celeb
 rate our history\, our strengths and our promise for the future. The day’s
  activities are framed around the College’s Motto\, Mastery for Service. H
 istorical records describe Mastery for Service as “First\, the complete Ma
 stery of the Self for Service\, as\, the Mastery of the Mental processes\;
  the Mastery of the Powers of the body\, the Mastery of the Passions\; the
  Mastery of the emotions—and second\, the Mastery of the world for Service
 \, as the service in any sphere in which one finds life.'\n
