He was in- deed a man on whom one could build an absolute trust. As Chairman of the Buildings and Grounds Committee, Mr. MacKinnon went to great pains to see that proper plans were made for the upkeep of the fabric and surround- ings of the School. Never did he miss a meeting of the Governing Body and his reports were always 'direct and to the point. Realizing the value of films, he gave the School a sound projector and screen, which have been put to good use over the years. Mr. MacKinnon was born in Scotland on September 30th, 1889. He was educated at Glasgow Academy and en- tered business in Scotland in 1907. Later he went to the Philippines with his firm, where he managed large sugar estates. He came to live Canada in 1924. During the war he offered his services to the Govern- ment and did valuable work of a secret nature. He was also a member of the Dominion Council of the Navy League. Mr. MacKinnon was a Director of several companies and Vice-President of the Blue Ribbon Corporation. He was on the Board of Trinity College, Toronto, as well as being a member of the Governing Body of Trinity College School. His son, Peter MacKinnon, was at T.C.S. from 1937 until 1941.

TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 11 BISHOP DuMOULIN Frank DuMoulin who died in Cobourg, Ontario. on July 9, 1947, was a son of the late Bishop DuMoulin of Niagara. He attended T.C.S. from 1885 to 1889 and in his final year he was a Prefect. From T.C.S. he went on to Trinity College, Toronto, where he graduated in 1894. Al- ways an enthusiastic Churchman, he became the first Do- minion Secretary of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew. Or- dained as Assistant Curate of Holy Trinity, Toronto, he de- cided at the close of his diaconate to seek wider experience by a year's work in the United States. So great were the opportuntunities, so vast the field of work, he was per- suaded to continue his Ministry there. Promotion came rapidly to this gifted Preacher and Organiser. From Tri- nity Church, Chicago, he was called to be Rector of Em- manuel Church, Cleveland. Returning to Chicago, he left a deep impression on the Parish of St. Peter's, especially on the young men, seven of whom took Holy Orders, dur- ing his eight years service as Rector. Cleveland called him back to that city to be Dean of Trinity Cathedral. Seven years later, he was elected Bishop Co-adjutor of Ohio. After ten years in this position, he resigned on account of ill health. A year's rest, and he was back in harness in Philadelphia as Rector of the Church of the Saviour. After some years of strenuous work in this important Church, he entered a more peaceful sphere as Rector of the Parish of St. John's Church, Lattington, Long Island. In 1943 Bishop DuMoulin retired from active Work. Among his degrees were B.A., M.A., and B.D. of Trinity College, and LL.D. conferred by St. Francis Xavier Uni- versity. Eight DuMoulins have been at T.C.S., all brothers and nephews of the late Bishop DuMoulin. The DuMoulin family is one of the famous T.C.S. families. A dynamic and lovable personality, linked to boundless energy, Bishop DuMoulin left a lasting impression on those to Whom he ministered. The School may well be proud of him. He was proud of the School.
