Paisley, Herbert F.S.
Herbert Frater Starr Paisley was born in Sackville, and was the son of Methodist minister Rev. Charles Henry Paisley, who was the principal of the Academy between 1879 and 1884. The younger Paisley captained the University hockey team between 1902 and 1904, and the baseball team in 1904. In 1903-04, he also coached the women’s hockey team and filled the position as The Argosy’s Editor-in-Chief.
Between 1907 and 1910, Paisley coached Mount Allison’s varsity rugby football team, leading the team to its third Maritime intercollegiate championship in 1910. He was one of the first, if not the first coach the University football squad had. He left Sackville in 1911 for Saskatchewan to pursue a career in journalism.
Following his graduation from the school in 1904, Paisley remained associated with the University as president of the Mount Allison Alumni Society and member of the Board of Regents. In 1954, on the 50th anniversary of his graduation from Mount A., Paisley was given an honorary degree for his life-long association with the school.
