The Philips Macdonnell Memorial Award

Established in memory of Dr. P.M. Macdonnell, M.A. 1912, M.D. 1921. My husband was very impressed with Queen's. He donated the bursary-scholarship in memory of my father.

Dr. Philips Milnes Macdonnell was born in Kingston and attended KCVI. He studied classics before medicine. He interrupted his degree to go overseas with Fifth Field Company which was formed of persons from Kingston and Queen's. Dr. Macdonnell worked in Peace River one year after finishing medicine. He practiced 43 years as General Practitioner, coroner and at St John's Ambulance as an instructor in Kingston.
