The names of University of Manitoba students and staff who served in the First World War were painted directly on the walls of the university's Administration Building, formerly the Manitoba Agricultural College. The gilded gold lettering is attributed to renowned Canadian artist Lionel LeMoine FitzGerald.
The names were copied from a Memorial Book. Mr. W.B.H. Teakes, Assistant Registrar, identified the university men in the military lists and collected the information. He was aided by Private C.F. Black and Lieutenant G.C. Young, after their return from overseas. Advice and assistance to the design were given by Professor A.A. Stoughton and the Honour Roll was made by D.C. Harvey.
