In 1877, John Watson, a Queen's philosophy professor, gave a series of courses in "political economy". These courses proved popular enough that in 1889, Adam Shortt, another professor of philosophy, convinced the university to create a Department of Political and Economic Science and to appoint him as the first full-time professor of politics and economics. He held the Sir John A. Macdonald Chair of Political and Economic Science from 1899 until 1908, when he was appointed the first chair of the Canadian Civil Service Commission, a body created to reform the federal public service.
