A graduate of U of T who acquired practical mining experience in Europe, he returned to Canada in 1905 as professor of mining and engineering at U of T. He remained in that position for more than 30 years. He developed the "Ceremony of the Calling of the Engineer," a private ritual for engineers graduating from Canadian universities, and was instrumental in founding the Technical Service Council, formed for the initial purpose of keeping engineers in Canada.
