Description
|
This building on
the McGill Campus was purpose built to
accommodate the offices and meeting rooms for
the Students' Society of McGill University and
what the university describes as, "McGill's
vast assortment of social and cultural
clubs."
Apparently, in 1992, the students conducted a
referendum calling for the building to be
named in honour of an alumni member of the
university, the Canadian actor William
Shatner. However, the university refused
to accept the demand on the ground that it
names buildings in honour of, "
... deceased members of the university
community or major benefactors"
and Shatner is neither.
