3111 mrmnriam THE HON. ALEXANDER CAMERON RUTHERFORD, B.A., B.C.L., LL.D. 1857-1941 It falls to 1942 Evergreen and Gold to record, with deep regret, the death on June 11th, 1941, of Dr. A. C. Rutherford, the University's revered Chancellor. When called in 1905 to assume office as the first Premier of the newly-formed Province of Alberta, Dr. Rutherford resolved that the educa- tional opportunities offered to the youth of the Province should be worthy of the best traditions, and commensurate with the growth of the Province in population and economic ability. The University of Alberta owes her existence to his planning and foresight and is proud to aclcnowledge that through- out the years she has remained deeply indebted to him for unfailing friendship and support. ln 1927 he became our Chancellor and for the remaining fourteen years of his long and useful life gave to the University his best in friendship and counsel. Dr. Rutherford's life is part of the history of our Province. As a student and collector of the historical records of our West he won for himself a distinguished place. ln the memory of many generations of students he will live, however, as the Grand Old Man of the University. His in- fluence was far greater than he lcnew or would have thought of claiming. His gentleness, his earnestness, his sincere interest in students and his unfailing friendliness towards them made a deep impression on all who lcnew him, and won for our Founder a place all his own in the affection and esteem of the whole University. It is good now to lcnow that he was able, in spite of advancing years, to carry on right to the end and that he was in his place as Chancellor for Convocation Day, a short month before his death. He has passed the torch now-still warm from his hand- to his well-loved University, to carry onward.
