=McGill University.= Founded through the far-sighted liberality of James McGill, a merchant of Montreal, who in his will left his property of Burnside and L10,000 to found the college. It was granted a royal charter in 1820, and opened in 1829. The original bequest proving insufficient to complete the college buildings, a further sum was given by William Molson for that purpose.
