Duncan McCallum Allan enlisted 1 December 1915, in Queen's University 46th Battery Canadian Forces Artillery (C.F.A.), and was assigned No. 304576. During his time in the C.E.F., he served in the 46th Battery C.F.A., at Headquarters, 3rd Canadian Divisional Artillery, in the 3rd Canadian Divisional Signal Company, the 5th Battery C.F.A., and the 3rd Canadian Division Ammunition Column. Duncan Allan was discharged honourably, at Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on 30 March 1919. He was awarded the War Service Badge Class "A" No. 155941.
Duncan McCallum Allan stated that after the War "he could not imagine sitting in a lecture hall where one had to think; he had turned his head off." He joined a lumber company that sent him to the West Coast of Canada for approximately five years, where he met his future wife. Business was not his forte. He returned to studies, to graduate from the Palmer School of Chiropractic in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, and then from the University of Pittsburg in science. This led to a position at the University of Toronto, in research, but when government funding to universities was decreased during the Great Depression of the 1930s, he was without a job. To make a living, he did various things and eventually taught Histology at the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in Toronto, Ontario.

Studio Q started as Studio Cue in 1980. It was a student produced in-studio interview show filmed and edited in Kingston’s local community access cable studio (then Cablenet 13).
In 1985, the show was incorporated under Queen’s A.M.S. In the 1989-1990 season it adopted a newscast format.The format went through several content changes over the years —shifting from news to talk show to sketch comedy. A Journal article published on Sept. 22, 1989 reports that the premiere show covered “the city’s new recycling program, improvements in Frosh Week, and the standards of education at Queen’s.” Studio Q lost its broadcast slot of 6 p.m. on Cablenet 13 in 1997.

The name of the show changed again in 2006 (or 2007) to QueensTV (QTV). In 2015 QTV amalgamated with two other student-run services, Yearbook & Design Services (YDS) and Convocation Services, to form a marketing entity named “Studio Q”.

The name of Chown has been identified with the hardware business in Kingston, Ontario for over a hundred years. In the 1830's, Edwin, George and Arthur Chown learned the tinsmith trade. Edwin and Arthur opened a tin shop in 1845. Two years later they moved to larger quarters and added hardware to their line. During the 1850's Edwin became a partner in Eagle Foundry and sold stoves, ploughs and other agricultural implements along with tin and copper ware. Arthur , in the meantime, dealt in shelf hardware. Towards the end of the fifties Edwin Chown formed a partnership with Henry Cunningham as wholesale and retail hardware merchants. Arthur together with his brother Samuel also was engaged in this line. Samuel eventually established his own business, while Arthur, during the 1880's, took his sons Fred and Oliver into partnership under the name of A. Chown and Company. Chown and Cunningham by then was known as Edwin Chown & Son. In 1938 the various family interests were merged into a Limited Company and operated until 1967.

After the official founding of the Co-Operative Commonwealth Federation (C.C.F.) at Regina in 1933, the new party set out to establish provincial organizations. By the early 1940's, in Ontario, after a rough start, the Party had attracted a number of supporters and in the election of 1943 elected 34 members to the Legislature. For the next eight years the fortunes of the party fluctuated until in 1951 a snap election called by Premier Leslie Frost reduced C.C.F. representation in the Legislature to two seats. The decade of the 1950's became a period of revitalization in Ontario. In the meantime the national movement, which had suffered in the federal election of 1958, had agreed to enter into a more formal relationship with the trade union movement. The merger of the industrial unions and the craft unions into one central labour body (the Canadian Labour Congress) seemed to signal that the time was right to make an attempt to tie more union members to the party. Consultation between C.C.F and C.L.C. leaders resulted in the birth of the New Democratic Party (N.D.P.) in 1961. By 1967, with increased resources and more electoral sophistication the Party was once more able to emerge as a major force in Ontario politics, capturing 26 percent of the vote and securing 20 seats in the Legislature. In 1971, another provincial election was fought and for the first time the C.C.F.-N.D.P. was able to follow one relatively successful election, with another, retaining nineteen 19 seats in the Legislature under new party leader Stephen Lewis.
