O.D. Skelton, a graduate of Queen’s and the University of Chicago, is considered the father of business studies at Queen’s. In 1913, he established Queen’s extension courses in commerce and banking to help advance the professional qualifications of Canada’s banking community. In 1919, he was responsible for starting Queen’s Commerce program – Canada’s first degree program in business. He later added courses in accounting which were designed to help Chartered Accountants meet their professional requirements.
W.C. (Clifford) Clark, a graduate of Queen’s and Harvard, was recruited in 1915 to help run the banking courses at Queen’s. With O.D. Skelton, he helped create and run the new Commerce degree in 1919 and the new Chartered Accountant extension courses in 1921. Clark ran the Commerce program until 1923 when he left Queen’s to become an investment banker. Later, as Deputy Minister of Finance in Ottawa, Clark greatly influenced public affairs during the Depression, World War II and Reconstruction.
W.A. (Bill) Mackintosh, a graduate of Queen’s and Harvard, returned to Queen’s in 1920 as director of Commerce courses, including the banking and Chartered Accountant courses. In 1929, he introduced the four year honours format of the Commerce program. He was influential in establishing a separate faculty, the “School of Business,” at Queen’s in 1963. Mackintosh spent WWII in Ottawa as an important member of the Department of Finance, returning to Queen’s as principal in 1951. He formally retired in 1961.
R.G.H. (Reg) Smails, a Chartered Accountant, was recruited in 1922 to help manage the heavy workload associated with the Chartered Accountant extension program. In 1926, he and C.E. Walker co-authored Accounting Principles and Practices, which became the standard text in accounting until well into the 1950s. Smails was acting director of Commerce courses during the Depression and WWII, and was appointed director in 1951, a position he held until his retirement in 1959.
F.D. (Frank) Collom, a Queen’s MBA graduate, was known and loved by thousands of Queen’s students both in the School of Business and across the university, receiving numerous teaching awards. Twice he was cited in Maclean’s magazine as the most popular professor at Queen’s. Collom was a consultant to dozens of not-for-profit organizations, refusing to take any remuneration for this work, preferring that the organizations make a donation to a local food bank or charity.
J.R.M. (John) Gordon, a Queen’s MBA graduate with a PhD from MIT, joined the School in 1975. He served as dean from 1978 to 1988, leading the creation of a strategy for the School that emphasized innovation, and excellence in both teaching and research. Gordon encouraged connections with the broader business community, including the growth of executive education programs. An outstanding case-method teacher and prolific researcher, Gordon was a mentor and inspiration to faculty and students.
R.J. (Rich) Hand, a WWII veteran, joined Queen's as a professor of marketing and economics after graduate work at the University of Chicago. Upon becoming dean in 1966, he was faced with the need to rapidly expand the number of faculty and course offerings to meet growing demand. Over his 10 years as dean, the School grew significantly. Hand recruited scholars from leading business schools in the US and Canada, expanded Commerce and MBA enrolment and started the PhD program.
N.B. Macintosh (Years of Service 1967-1998)
D.D. (Danny) Monieson earned his MBA at Miami University of Ohio and his PhD in Marketing at Ohio State University. An outstanding marketing teacher and consultant, Monieson inspired students and business leaders for more than three decades, and was twice a recipient of the Commerce Society Teaching Excellence Award. As a philosopher and historian of marketing ideas he influenced scholars around the world. The Monieson Centre at QSB continues his quest to advance the understanding of knowledge-based enterprises.
E.D. (Ted) Neave, a graduate of UBC with a PhD from the University of California, Berkeley, joined the School in 1971. A prolific researcher, his publications in finance range from purely theoretical works, to empirical articles, to public-policy-oriented prescription pieces, to papers designed for lay readers. Neave developed and implemented simulation-based teaching modules for the Institute of Canadian Bankers that are used in more than 40 countries. He is an Honorary Fellow of the Institute of Canadian Bankers.
