This mountain was named in 1918 in honour of Colonel Frederick Etherington, C.M.G. Etherington was born in Gananoque and was a Queen’s medical student from 1898-1902. In 1907 he was appointed as professor of anatomy (the first one in Canada) at Queens University. In 1911 he became the first full-time surgeon in Kingston. He was very active in prison reform and made many recommendations on how the living conditions of prisoners should be improved. The mountain was named for his wartime contribution when he organized and commanded the No. 5 Stationary Hospital in Egypt, which was staffed by recruits from Queens’ faculty and students. In 1916 the hospital was transferred to France and became the 7th Canadian Hospital. In 1923 Etherington became Dean of Medicine at Queens. During this time he also served as president of the Ontario College of Physicians and Surgeons and of the Medical Council of Canada.
