Pickering College - Voyageur Yearbook (Newmarket, Ontario Canada)

Page 8 text:

The Voyageur is dedicated this year to Arthur Garratt Dorland, a most eminent graduate of Pickering College, a former member of the staff and for many years now a member of our Board of Management. The history of our College is closely intertwined with that of the Dorland family. Arthur Dorland's grandparents attended our original school in Prince Edward County and both his parents were students when the school was located in the Village of Pickering. Here too the young Arthur Dorland attended, as did his future wife, Ellen Malone. In later years his three sons, Rodger, Terence and Albert were students at the school in New- market, thus completing a span of four successive generations of the family to be educated at Pickering College. A member of the fifth generation begins this autunin. After graduating from Pickering College Arthur Dorland studied at Queen's University where he received his B.A. Degree in History in 1910. The following year he was granted his M.A. at Yale University and then returned to Canada to join the staff of the newly-established Pickering College in Newmarket. Here he served as Housemaster and teacher of English and History. In 1916 Dr. Dorland returned to Queenfs University as a lecturer in History and in 1920 was named Head of the Department of History at the University of Western Ontario where he spent the remaining thirty-six years of his active teaching career. Arthur Dorland is prominent as a scholar and historian. In 1927 he was granted the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by the University of Toronto. As a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada he wrote in 1942 an extensive history of Pickering College called A Hundred Years of Quaker Education in Canada and his Canadian History text book, Our Canadan, was published in 1951. To crown his career both in scholarship and pedagogy the University of Westem Ontario granted him the honorary degree of L.L.D. in 1963. The above account explains our pride in Arthur Dorland. As a member of the Society of Friends, as a teacher and historian and as one who has given much to Pickering College, he bears our love and gratitude. It is with great affection that we dedicate the Voyageur of 1964 to him and wish him well in the future. Four
