Elected to the Governing Body in the spring of 1939, Mr. MacKinnon had for eight years given much time and attention to the affairs of the School. His understanding and sound judgment were of immeasurable value in the dis- cussion of School matters and always his kindly disposition and thoughtfulness won him countless friends. 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.
