The Library and Archives Master Plan
The library is a gathering place – both physical and virtual. Not only a place where ideas are explored, concepts are learned and theories are unearthed, but where friends are met, relationships are forged and community is created. The library is central to the university, inspiring discovery and enabling creativity. The Library and Archives Master Plan (LAMP) is about enriching research and the student learning experience by imagining the library and archives of the future.

ROYAL MARRIES MAORI BUILDER
Lady Davina Windsor, daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester and 20th in line to the British throne, married a New Zealander at Kensington Palace on Saturday.
Lady Davina, 26, met Gary Lewis, a builder and surfing enthusiast, while on vacation in Bali, Indonesia, four years ago.
The 33-year-old is the first Maori to marry into the royal family. He has an 11-year-old son from a former relationship.
They married in the chapel of Kensington Palace - where Lady Davina grew up with her family in an 11-room apartment.
Princess Diana formerly occupied another apartment in the central London palace.
Only close friends and immediate family attended the wedding ceremony.
Among the guests was New Zealand author Witi Ihimaera, whose book The Whale Rider was adapted into the successful film of the same name.
Lewis is Ihimaera's nephew.
The bride's grandmother Princess Alice, who at 102 is the oldest member of the royal family, was absent due to physical frailty, but the couple visited her after their nuptials.
Lady Davina's father gave her away and her sister, Lady Rose Windsor, 24, was among the bridesmaids.
No other royals were present, although Princess Anne's former husband Mark Phillips attended.
About 40 members of Lewis' family were also there.
His son, Ari, read a Gaelic prayer, and Nick Harvey, a friend from New Zealand, was best man.
Lady Davina, whose father is Queen Elizabeth II's cousin, does not carry out any official royal duties.
She followed a course in media studies at the University of the West of England in Bristol.
Lewis comes from Gisborne on the east coast of New Zealand's North Island and is a former sheep shearer.
His father, Larry, was a champion shearer in New Zealand in the 1980s and his mother, Viki Carr, previously worked as a maid.
Announcing the wedding in March, a Kensington Palace spokeswoman said the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester were delighted by their elder daughter's engagement.
The newlyweds are expected to settle in Britain.

President Franklin Roosevelt's 1938 speech at Queen's University
U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt received an honorary degree from Queen’s University on Aug. 18, 1938. In his speech at Richardson Stadium, he made an important statement about U.S. foreign policy that made headlines around the world. The Second World War was looming and the president was under pressure to declare what action the United States would take in the event war. FDR did not want to anger American isolationists but he also wanted express his sympathies for European allies. In his speech, the president declared: The Dominion of Canada is part of the British Empire. I give to you assurance that the people of the United States will not stand idly by if domination of Canadian soil is threatened by any other empire.
