Globe
and Mail: The Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics
announced on Monday that it had received a donation of CAN$4
million from the Bank of Montreal Financial Group. The donation
will fund a chair named after Isaac Newton. The
Perimeter
Institute, which is based in Waterloo, Ontario, was itself
founded 10 years ago with help from industry—in the form
of CAN$100 million in seed money from Mike Lazaridis of
BlackBerry maker Research in Motion. Four additional chairs are
planned and will be named after Niels Bohr, Paul Dirac, Albert
Einstein, and James Clerk Maxwell.
