QRC Old Boys’ Association
Hall of Honour
Guidelines for Nominations
1.
The founders of the Queen’s Royal College Old Boys’ Association (“the Association”) had as
their main objectives ensuring that the core values of QRC (namely leadership, service, intellectual
enquiry, independence of mind, excellence and tolerance) were fostered, preserved and passed on from
generation to generation. The Association was formed as an unincorporated association in 1934. This
was some 64 years after the original institution, the Queen’s Collegiate School, founded in 1859, was
inaugurated on June 13 1870 as the Queen’s Royal College by special dispensation of Queen Victoria.
The Association is currently a Non-Profit Company incorporated and continued under the Companies
Act of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago.
th
2.
In 2000, the Association established its Hall of Honour to “honour members of the QRC
community who have achieved excellence in any field of human endeavour and who have made
outstanding contributions to the welfare of the nation and the promotion of the College”. It did
so noting that, in several fields, members of the College Community had distinguished themselves but
had not been duly recognized by the College or the QRC Community. It therefore agreed to recognize
those persons who had distinguished themselves in any field(s) and had made contributions nationally,
regionally, internationally or, to a section of the community.
3.
The Association invites nominations of persons from the QRC Community who satisfy the
criteria in paragraph (2) above for consideration by the Association for induction into the Association’s
Hall of Honour.
4.
Nominations should include, apart from the name and the contacts of the person making the
nomination, those of two other persons who can independently confirm the information about the
nominee, and:
a) The name and address of the nominee together with telephone/email contacts. If the nominee
is deceased, contact information of surviving relatives;
b) The sphere(s) of activity in Trinidad and Tobago or elsewhere for which the nominee is to be
recognized and an indication of the period during which that person had been involved in the
sphere(s) of activity; and
c) The particular achievements of the nominee in the sphere(s) of activity.
5.
The next Induction Ceremony is currently being planned for November 2015. There have been
Induction Ceremonies in 2000, 2003, 2004, 2006 and 2009 honouring living as well as deceased
members of the QRC community. A full list of inductees is attached hereto.

will be researched further and a final determination made by the Board of Directors.
