known as the London Knights. In 49 years of celebration, the Knights have racked up 11 Division trophies; 5
Western Conference titles; 3 OHL Championships, and 1 Memorial Cup.
In 2004-05 the Knights had an unprecedented record of 59-7-0-2.

The Grand Theatre
The Grand Theatre is a professional theatre located at 471 Richmond Street just south of Dufferin Avenue in
London, Ontario, Canada.
Its main auditorium has a seating capacity of 839 with a regular season running from September to May. In
addition, it has a secondary venue called The McManus Theatre, located on the lower floor with a seating capacity
of 150.
History
The theatre opened on September 9, 1901 under the ownership of the theatre magnate, Ambrose Small who
reportedly considered this theatre his favourite of his numerous similar holdings. He disappeared mysteriously on
December 2, 1919. That day, Mr. Small deposited one million dollars in a Toronto bank account, lunched with his
wife and was never seen again. Weeks after his disappearance, the night watchman swore he saw Mr. Small
entering The Grand Theatre. Despite this lead, police were never able to close the file. It is rumoured that he haunts
the building to this day. This building was investigated in the first episode of "The Girly Ghosthunters" show in 2005.
With the rise of film entertainment, the theatre was equipped for film presentation when it was sold to Famous
Players in 1924. In 1945, the theatre chain sold the building to the London Little Theatre company for a relatively
modest price and the theatre became an amateur stage venue. It was one of Canada's most active and successful
amateur theatre companies.
In 1971, the theatre began a three-year process to become a fully professional regional theatre. In 1975, the
governing board decided to react to the deteriorating state of the building with a major reconstruction costing five
million dollars that was completed in 1978. The reconstruction included reinforcement of the main stage's
proscenium arch as the sole major component of the building's original design and the addition of the McManus
Studio as a secondary venue. The architectural firm that undertook the renovations was awarded a Governor
General's award for their re-design of The Grand.
The Grand is an excellent example of the Proscenium Arch Theatre and is one of the more traditional forms of
theatrical design. It was designed to send music and sound from the stage into the audience.
Among the great actors who have performed under the magnificent proscenium arch of The Grand are: W.C.
Fields, Sarah Bernhardt, Michael Redgrave, Donald O'Connor, Sidney Poitier, Jessica Tandy, Hume Cronyn,
Maggie Smith, Michael Burgess, William Hutt, Martha Henry, Karen Kain, Victor Garber, Sandra Oh, and Leonard
Nimoy.

Western University
Western’s History
From the initial aspirations of Bishop Hellmuth to the internationally known research of our top scholars today,
these leaders of vision, courage and imagination have always looked to the future in shaping Western
University.
Founded on March 7, 1878 by Bishop Isaac Hellmuth (1817–1901) of the Anglican Diocese of Huron, ‘The
Western University of London Ontario’ opened its doors to students for the first time in 1881 with four faculties
– Arts, Divinity, Law and Medicine.
In 1916, the current campus was purchased from the Kingsmill family, and in 1923 the university was
renamed The University of Western Ontario.
Since that first class graduated in 1883, the university has become a vibrant centre of learning. Through 12
faculties and three affiliated university colleges, Western today offers its 36,000-plus students more than 400
specializations, majors and minors.
It was at Western where Sir Frederick Banting rose from a restless sleep in 1920 and wrote out 25 words that
led to his discovery of insulin.
It was at Western where Canada’s first French Immersion program was established at Trois-Pistoles,
Québec, in 1932 – a program that continues today.
It was at Western where researchers led by Ivan Smith developed the world’s first ‘cobalt bomb’ to treat
cancer in 1951, increasing the cure rate for cervical cancer to 75 per cent from 25 per cent.
And while our excellence roots itself in history, Western continues to eye the next-generation discoveries.
Western, a leader in wind engineering since 1965, testing such structures as the World Trade Center, Sears
Tower and Jakarta Tower, will continue its dominance with the opening of the WindEEE Dome research
facility.
Western, a leader in business education since its founding, has continued to lead at home and abroad thanks
to construction of a state-of-the-art Richard Ivey School of Business in 2012 and the opening of North
America’s first business school campus in Hong Kong in 1998.
Western, a medical advancement leader since its founding, has continued to push innovation most recently
when an HIV vaccine developed by Dr. Chil-Yong Kang received approval by the United States Food and
Drug Administration to start human clinical trials, a first of its kind, in 2012.
