ENDOWED CHAIRS

The University is fortunate in the number of endowed professorships that have been established, and is very grateful to those who, by generous gift or bequest, have made them possible. The endowment of a Chair is a highly valued means of supporting the University and a particularly wise investment in higher education.

Information about the endowed chairs is of historical significance, and of general interest, too. Some of it is summarized here.

CLEMENT CHANDLER AVARD AND FLORENCE SYBIL AVARD CHAIR IN FRENCH LANGUAGE

The endowment for this Chair was provided by a bequest from the estate of Clement Chandler Avard, 1875-1956.

The first payment to the fund was made at that time. In 1921 the Joseph L. Black and Mary A. Black Chair in Economics and Commerce was established. During the intervening years the name of the Chair has been changed to The Joseph L. Black and Mary A. Black Chair in Economics.

Both F.B. Black and Mary A. Black were devoted servants of the Methodist Church, actively interested in promoting the development of Mount Allison. Recently additional funds have been contributed to this endowment by J.L. Black and Sons Limited, Middle Sackville, the business organization established originally by Mr. Black, whose name together with that of his wife is perpetuated in the name of this academic Chair.

Mr. and Mrs. Davidson have over the years gathered together a rich collection of Canadiana books, imprints and manuscripts of great rarity and value and many fine examples of early Canadian glass, of Canadian furniture of the 18th Century, and of Canadian painting and sculpture of the 19th and 20th Centuries. In making the gift of this superb collection to Mount Allison, the donors stated that

we are prompted to make this gift in recognition of the great contribution made by the men and women of the Maritimes toward our national life from its early beginnings to the present time. We furthermore have selected a New Brunswick university because we believe that in this province more is done toward solving the crucial problem of achieving a bi- cultural life than anywhere else in Canada ... We have been impressed with the splendid facilities and aims of Mount Allison and with what is done there for young people, not merely from an academic point of view but also from a cultural one.

Scholars who have held the Davidson Professorship are George F.G. Stanley, O.C., B.A., B.Litt., M.A., D.Phil., D-es-L., D.Litt., LL.D., D.C.L., F.R.

In his early career Dr. Gates held posts at the University of Chicago, Imperial College London, St. Thomas Hospital London, and the University of California.

FRED C. MANNING CHAIR IN COMMERCE

This Chair is named in honour of the late Fred C. Manning, an outstanding Nova Scotian industrialist and distinguished Allisonian whose generous bequest to the University made possible its establishment.

Dr. Manning was born in Falmouth, Nova Scotia and attended Mount Allison Academy 1909-1910. When presented for the honorary degree at the May Convocation at Mount Allison in 1955 it was stated:

... he is President and controlling owner of multimillion dollar businesses in the Maritimes, the Canadian West, and in far off Venezuala. Director of a score or more companies, Fred Manning's record stands as an inspiration and challenge to every ambitious young student in the Commerce Course, and effectively refutes the statement that there are no opportunities in the Maritimes.

Dr. Manning contributed to Mount Allison the cost of the Physics and Engineering Building, which is dedicated 'to the advancement of Scientific knowledge." Mrs. Manning contributed funds for decorating and furnishing the Manning Room in the Chapel, as 'an expression of her deep interest and concern for the religious life of the University Community.'

(In 1965 Dr. Ralph P. Bell, brother of Dr. Winthrop Bell, donated the Mount Allison Chapel Organ, also in memory of his mother). Mary Emerancy Pickard Bell graduated from the Mount Allison Ladies' College in 1866 with a degree of Mistress of Liberal Arts. From 1866-1869 she taught Literature, Mathematics and Calisthenics at the Ladies College, and in 1873 she joined the Faculty of the Conservatory of Music.

Winthrop P. Bell was one of Mount Allison's most illustrious and loyal graduates. An outstanding scholar, he graduated with honours in Mathematics, Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts degree. He also earned an M.A. from Harvard and a Ph.D. from Gottigen, Germany. He lectured at the University of Toronto and at Harvard University, eventually returning to Nova Scotia to engage in business and pursue scholarly activities.

A loyal Allisonian and churchman, he annually supported the financial program of the university and encouraged classmates and friends to rally around their "alma mater." It is for one of his earliest works, composed when a student at Mount Allison, that he is best remembered by all Allisonians, for he wrote the lyrics of the "Alma Mater" song. Since 1906 this song has been sung by students at the University and by Allisonians throughout the world. Dr. Bell served on the Board of Regents from 1948-1951. He died in 1965.

In 1965 Mount Allison received Dr. Winthrop Bell's entire library, more than half of which is a very valuable collection of Acadiana.
