Born on November 15, 1867, in England. In his childhood, he expressed a great interest for archives and History. So he studied in those fields and began to teach the classic authors and diction while getting interested in theatre. After having obtained a considerable success in teaching in England, he emigrateted to Canada in 1907. He continued his career first in Alberta then came to Montr?al where he joined Loyola College. He always expressed a keen interest for the civic and national organizations. Thus he organized in Montr?al the first exhibition on the protection of childhood in Canada and in 1911, he set up the first cleaning campaign of the city. He reoriented his career to teach English literature at the Laval University in Montr?al and later at the University of Montr?al. He became the first in Canada to give broadcasted conferences on literature, History and social reforms, this on the air of the Montr?al radio station CFCF. He died on July 6, 1950.
