    • Attributions and conjectures: Reverend Thomas Adams (1847-1902) was born in Taunton, England, the son of a Missionary Clergyman. He obtained his early education at Queen’s College, Taunton, and later attended University College in London. After spending time doing a geological survey of England, he went to St. John’s College, Cambridge, and graduated in 1873 as "19th Wrangler in the Mathematical Tripos." He was ordained Deacon in 1874 and priest in 1875. Afterwards, he taught mathematics for eight years at St. Peter’s School, York. Reverend Adams was then appointed to the headmastership of the new High School for boys at Gateshead, In 1884, at the age of 47, Adams paid his first visit to Canada where he attended a meeting of the Montréal British Association. The next year he was appointed the third Principal of Bishop’s College, Professor of Mathematics and Rector of Bishop’s College School. “Reverend Adams was not only known as a good teacher, excellent examiner, organizer and problem solver, but he was also a man of the world, able to enlist the support and interest of prominent men outside the institution. He had a marvelous faculty for attracting young men and boys and it may be said of him truly that in term and out of term, in session and during vacation alike, he never ceased, wherever he might be, to press the claims of Lennoxville and educational advantages it offers on all whom he met.” He died on Christmas day in 1902, after a short illness.

    Biographical history

    Charlotte Mount Brock Schreiber (née Morrell) was born in May 1834 in Colchester, England. She studied at Carey's School of Art ( London) between 1850 and 1855. She also took lessons with John Rogers Herbert and instruction in anatomy from a Mr. Scharf. In addition to exhibiting with the Royal Academy of Arts between 1855 and 1875, Charlotte illustrated edition of Edmund Spenser's "The Legend of the Knight of the Red Crosse", (London, 1871) and Elizabeth Barrett's Browning's "The rhyme of the Duchess May" (London 1873).
    In 1875, newly married to her second cousin, Weymouth Schreiber of Toronto, Canada, who had three teenaged children, she immigrated to Ontario , locating in Deer Park (Toronto). Within five years Schreiber's talent was recognized and she attained a notable position in the province's artistic community. In 1876 she was elected to the Ontario Society of Artists; the following year she was the only woman on the board of the Ontario School of Art and from 1877 to 1880, its sole woman teacher. She was the first female member of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts, having been appointed at its founding in 1880. In 1888 she chose to retire rather than resign over its prohibition of women attending meetings.
    In the 1890s personal reasons encouraged her to return to England, where she continued to enjoy a prosperous career, painting until her death at the age of 88.
