After the Danish King decided in 1629 that priests in the Danish-Norwegian church had to pass a university examination in theology, students flocked from Norway to the university in Copenhagen. The expense of studying in Denmark was a heavy burden for many families. Yet the demand for a university in Norway was ignored.
In 1736 a degree in law from the university in Copenhagen was also made compulsory for all applicants for judicial office in Norway. In 1811, thanks to a successful campaign on the part of Count Herman Wedel-Jarlsberg, Norway was finally promised its own university.

The 2011 Mental Health stamp is the fourth annual semi-postal issued in support of the Canada Post Foundation for Mental Health. Collectively, stamps issued in the past three years have raised close to a million dollars, via a dollar from the sale of every booklet of ten stamps going to the Foundation.
Along with a framed commemorative enlargement of the final stamp, Majeau got to select a mental health charity to receive a $500 donation from Canada Post. She chose La Fondation les petits trésors de l’Hôpital Rivière-des-Prairies to receive the award.
