History
William Servos Ball was one of 12 students admitted at the second session of Queen's College, in October 1842 (the first session had opened in March of the same year). The university was unable to honour him publicly due to a clause in the Royal Charter that stipulated that the Senate should only have degree-giving powers when a Principal and four professors were employed in the College. In 1845 only three individuals made up the entire faculty. The formal conferring of degrees began in 1847.
