UNIV. OF CANADIAN CONSTITUTIONAL STUDIES The Marfleet Lectures University of Toronto By the Right Hon. Sir ROBERT LAIRD BORDEN REVISED EDITION HUMPHREY MILFORD OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS LONDON THE MARFLEET LECTURESHIP In November, 1910, Mrs. Lydia A. Marfleet of Prophetstown, Illinois, gave the sum of $5,000 to found a lectureship in the University of Toronto to be called in memory of her late husband the Pearson Kirkman Marfleet Lectureship. As the late Pearson Kirkman Marfleet, an American citizen, devoted constant thought to the public welfare of his own country, and also watched the growth of the Dominion of Canada with profound interest, the Governors of the University have undertaken that such person or persons as may from time to time be appointed shall, as far as possible, be chosen with regard to their special ability to set forth some phase of the national movements of each or both countries. The first course of lectures under this foundation was delivered in February, 1915, by the Honourable William Howard Taft, Ex-President of the United States. The second course was delivered in October 1921 by the Right Honourable Sir Robert L. Borden, G.C.M.G., formerly Premier of the Dominion of Canada. 496087 |
