Gradually he weakened, although retaining his customary cheerfulness, until his death at noon today. Widely Known Hugh Allan MacQuarrie, known as "Allie" to his friends, was one of the best known men in the province.

| OBIT # 202 – HALIFAX HERALD – 14 JANUARY 1999 STEWART, Dr. Chester B. - On January 12, 1999, Dr. Chester B. Stewart, OC, MDCM, B.Sc. (Med), Dr. PH, FRCPS (C), died in his 88th year. A "new" Scot, Dr. Stewart was born in Norboro, P.E.I., the son of Hugh Alexander Stewart and Lucy Bryant Stewart, a great-grandson of Hugh Dunbar, Pictou County, who was the first Presbyterian minister in Prince Edward Island. Of seven children, two are still living, Dr. Brenton Stewart, Moncton, N.B., and Mrs. Doris Grigg, Tyne Valley, P.E.I. He is survived by his wife, the former Kathleen French, Regina; daughters, both graduates of Dalhousie University, Joan Teed (Dr. Lionel), Fredericton, and their children Jennifer (Mrs. Charles Atkinson), London, Ont.; Sarah (Mrs. Burns Kimball), Rothesay, N.B.; Gerald and Moira at home; Dr. Moira Stewart and husband Dr.Thomas Freeman, London, Ont.; their daughters, Kate and Amy, at home. He received his early education in Norboro and after attending Prince of Wales College, he became vice principal of Kensington High School for three years. After returning to Prince of Wales College, he proceeded to Dalhousie for pre-medical training and entered the medical school in 1933. By taking extra classes and doing research with Dr. Donald Mainland, professor of anatomy, he earned a B.Sc. (Med) in 1936 and in 1938 his MDCM. His medical career began with an appointment as first secretary with the National Research Council Committee on Medical Research, where he worked with Sir Frederick Banting, the co-discoverer of insulin. In a cross country tour they wrote a "survey of facilities for Medical Research in Canada," which was published in January 1939. He then participated in numerous national committees that followed, including the Farquharson Committee, which ultimately led to the formation of the Medical Research Council of Canada in 1960. He enlisted with the RCAF in 1940, where he was medical officer in charge of clinical investigation units in Regina, Halifax and Toronto. He did leading edge wartime research in the problems of high altitude flying, especially decompression sickness. He was a pioneer in aviation medical research. After the war in 1945, Dr. Stewart undertook post-graduated work at Johns Hopkins University, attaining his master of public health degree and later a Ph.D. He had joined the Faculty of Dalhousie University Medical School as the E.B. Eddy Professor of Epidemiology in 1946 and chose to remain with Dalhousie, his alma mater, for his whole career. On his appointment as dean of medicine in 1954, the deputy minister of health, Dr. Robertson, wrote in the Dalhousie Medical Journal describing Dr. Stewart as a "keystone in the medical education arch, binding together the teaching in the pre-clinical years, clinical and post-graduate years and having several Scots traits, among them the ability to 'collect' gold medals during his career." His seventeen years in that position saw the planning and construction of the Sir Charles Tupper Medical Building, a centennial project, a complete modernization of the medical curriculum on several occasions and a tremendous growth in medical research. In addition, Dalhousie developed one of the most extensive programs in continuing medical education in Canada. This was started by the former dean, accentuated by the provision of a part-time director in 1954 and a full-time director a few years later. In 1954, when he entered the dean's office, Dr. Stewart had already established himself as a scholar and educator. He was also clearly a visionary in the field of medical education. When he was presented the Duncan Graham Award by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, Dr. Ian Bowman noted "when writing in 1949 about the teaching of clinical preventive medicine, Dr.Stewart suggested health should not be considered the mere absence of disease (a definition considered negative), but rather that health includes the development of maximum physical and mental fitness. This definition of health is very similar to the WHO definition of health, adopted worldwide nearly 50 years later. He also emphasized small group teaching, where faculty would stimulate student discussion, not monopolize it. Today we call this approach 'problem-based learning.' His concern for the excellence of the educational experience is a characteristic remembered by his former students." He fostered a new environment as medical schools across the country moved from being mere professional schools to academic institutions and, by his own scholarly activities, helped define a new breed of physician-teachers who would see research essential to their academic roles. In 1971, Dr. Stewart was appointed vice president (Health Sciences) at Dalhousie. His term ended in 1976 on reaching retirement age. He was, for a time thereafter, a special consultant.

When he received the award of Officer of the Order of Canada, the citation noted his outstanding endeavors: research in aviation medicine, the planning of national and provincial health and hospital services and his contributions to medical education. Awarded the title, dean emeritus, at Dalhousie, he also received four honourary degrees from universities in Canada. He was past president of the Association of Canadian Medical Colleges and of the Canadian Public Health Association. He was awarded senior membership in the CMA and the Medal of Service, also from the CMA. He was an honourary president of the Dalhousie Medical Alumni Association and an honourary member of the College of Family Medicine.

| OBIT # 273 – EVENING NEWS – 26 FEBRUARY 1940 STELLARTON, Feb. 26 -- Archibald Hayman, for 37 years connected with the Government diamond drilling work, passed away at his home here this morning. He had reached his 59th birthday last Monday. Mr. Hayman had not been in the best of health for the last few years, but after a recent operation he seemed to improve, and the news of his passing will come as a distinct shock to his wide circle of friends. He had been confined to bed since Christmas. Born in Westville, Mr. Hayman was one of the finest types of citizens and was widely known throughout the County and the mining areas of Nova Scotia which he visited frequently in connection with drilling. He was highly regarded wherever he went. A staunch supported of Sharon-St. John Church, Stellarton, he was its treasurer for many years and of late years acted as one of its Elders. He was also a member of Scotia Lodge, I.O.O.F. and the Stellar Curling Club. It was in connection with his diamond drilling work, of which he had charge for Eastern Nova Scotia with headquarters in New Glasgow, that Mr. Hayman played a big part in the successful rescuing of the Ontario men at the Moose River Mine disaster. Mr. Hayman's drill crew figured out where the men would most likely be, and were successful in boring a hole through the earth to them. By this channel food was sent down to them and encouragement given them to hang on. Characteristically, Mr. Hayman took little credit for himself on this exploit. His routine drilling covered searching for coal and gypsum measures in Cape Breton and here, and he also drilled thro' the salt desposits at Malagash. His work was a part of the activities of the Department of Mines. He is survived by his widow, formerly Belle MacIntosh of Westville, three children, Joseph, of the Bank of Nova Scotia, Saint John; Brenton, of the same bank, New Glasgow, and Dorothy, an employee of the Stellarton Town Office. Three brothers and four sisters also survive. They are: Alex. of Stellarton; John, of Westville; Donald , of Moncton; Mrs. Thomas J. Marshall, Bridgetown; and Mrs. E. H. MacKay and Miss Annie, of Providence, and Miss Jen. of Stellarton. A sister and a brother, Mrs. Charles MacKean and William, predeceased him. (Feb. 19, 1880-Feb. 26, 1940. Married June 6, 1906) |

During his term as president of U of C, he was as likely to appear at a varsity game with Anne as to provide leadership at a meeting on the university's strategic direction. Through times of turbulence at U of C, his warmth, moral authority and tremendous leadership skills carried the university. Since stepping down from the university, he had been appointed to the corporate boards of Crestar Energy, ING (International Netherlands Group) and had joined the board of directors of the Canadian Institute of Advanced Research. His joy was found at the family cottage at St. Margarets Bay, where the Fraser clan and many friends have gathered for more than 35 years. A memorial service will be held 3 p.m. today in Jack Simpson Gymnasium at U of C. A memorial service in Halifax will be announced for a later date. In lieu of flowers, t he family would appreciate donations to the Murray and Anne Fraser Endowment Fund, c/o The Developments Office at U of C, 2500 University Drive, NW, Calgary, Alta., T2N 1N4. His nature can best be captured in the words of the people he cared about and whose lives he touched (his students): ``He was mensch,'' ``He was simply my mentor - always,'' ``He always knew me,'' ``He was at all our games,'' ``What a wonderful smile,'' ``He listened to us as students,'' ``Murray took a big risk with me,'' ``Murray and Anne were always there for us,'' ``We were marginalized and he gave us a chance to come into the centre,'' ``He believed in the promise of his country,'' ``It hurts too much to talk.'' |
