What's Inside

Miller Hall, constructed in the Collegiate Gothic style, was completed in 1931. It is fortunate that a provincial grant for the hall was obtained when it was, for money was to become increasingly scarce as the depression progressed. It still serves the same purpose today for which it was originally intended, a home for Geological Sciences and Engineering and for the Miller Museum of Geology and Mineralogy. Willet Green Miller was appointed as a Professor of Geology and Petrography in 1893. He came to Queen's when the School of Mining and Agriculture was established as an "independent school affiliated with Queen's University." He left Queen's in 1902 to become the first Provincial Geologist for Ontario, and discovered cobalt and silver deposits in northern Ontario.
