add to cart   close window

After fifteen years in office Dalhousie's president, Professor Carleton Wellesley Stanley, had resigned. Thus unobtrusively a battle that had gone on for months between anonymous wealth and a college president came to a bad end for the president. Right Honorable Richard Bedford Bennett's, Viscount Bennett of Calgary, formerly Prime Minister of Canada, object of attack was the Board of Governors' majority resolution to resign unless President Stanley did. Lord Bennett regretted further that he could not now withdraw the gifts he' had made to Dalhousie and turn them over to some institution which considered providing educational facilities more important than alleged antagonism to the President.
