Feature Story: Undergrad lands on pages of prestigious history journal

Abstract

On this date - July 28, 2015 - we take note of a man of immense historical significance to Canada. 175 years ago today, John George Lambton or Lord Durham, died. “Few names elicit a stronger reaction in Canadian history than Lord Durham. He is at once a champion of democratic ideals and an aristocratic tyrant,” writes Jordan Ethier. Ethier graduated with distinction in the spring of 2014 with a Bachelor degree from the U of R’s Department of History. His impressive paper, “Lord Durham and the Birth of Canadian History,” has appeared in “The Mirror,” Canada’s oldest and most prestigious undergraduate history journal, published by Western University in London, Ont.
