Description
A "students' library" is established in Osgoode Hall. Called the Phillips Stewart Library in recognition of the bequest from Thomas Brown Phillips Stewart, a poet and student-barrister, registered in the first year of the new school in 1889, who died tragically at the age of 27 before he could graduate. He left his estate of $7,599.64 to the Law Society to endow a fund to purchase books expressly for the use of students. Today's Osgoode Hall Law School Library still has most of these books in the collections.
