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.
