Royal Victoria College, 2014 / 1917

Royal Victoria College in 2014 and May 30, 1917. The 1917 image is of Arthur Balfour giving a summary of the McGill convocation, at which he received an honorary degree. He was a British Conservative politician who was the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from July 1902 to December 1905. Interesting sidenote, in the lower middle portion of the 1917 photo, you'll notice a boy with glasses, standing opposite relative to everyone else, facing the camera.  I don't know who he is, but it is pretty peculiar.
