This tablet lists the names of all Mount Allison University students and alumni who lost their lives in the First World War. The tablet was first located immediately inside the entrance of the Memorial Library and is now part of a series of bronze plaques.
Plaques to Nursing Sister Rena McLean who was killed in the First World War, and other students killed in the South African War, Second World War, and Korean War were later added. In 1958, the plaques were moved from the main hall of the Memorial Library to the stairway due to renovations. The building was repurposed in 1970 and its name changed to the University Centre. The plaques were moved to their current location in 2008 and are situated on the ground floor atrium of the Wallace McCain Student Centre. They are mounted on the wall just outside the University's prestigious Tweedie Hall, which features a large mural by famed war artist and alumnus Alex Colville.
At the University’s annual Remembrance Day service, students, faculty, and staff gather to pay homage to those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Every year since 1927, the names of each of the fallen are read aloud.
