THE ANNUAL GEORGE F. G. STANLEY LECTURE IN CANADIAN STUDIES

• This lecture was established in honour of the first Director of the Centre for Canadian Studies, Dr. George F.G. Stanley (1907-2002). Well known for his role in the design of the Canadian flag and for his distinction as lieutenant governor of New Brunswick from 1982-1987, Dr. Stanley was also an accomplished academic, a Rhodes scholar, a member of the Royal Society, and the author or editor of some 18 books.  In addition to his academic and public career, Dr. Stanley had a significant military and public career, serving as an infantry training officer in Fredericton during the second world war, and rising to the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel. 
  The annual Stanley Lecture is given each year by a distinguished Mount Allison Canadianist.
