McGill’s Department of Geography turns 80 this year!

This milestone marks the anniversary of George Kimble’s appointment as McGill’s first Professor of Geography and Department Chair on January 1, 1945.

Kimble, who had previously been a meteorologist with the Royal Navy, was allocated two rooms in the Arts Building (rooms 30 and 38) by the Faculty of Arts and Science to lay the foundation for the new department. A few months later, F.K. Hare was appointed as McGill’s second Professor of Geography (eventually becoming Dean of Arts and Science in 1961).
