CONVOCATION, OCTOBER, 1974
BEVERLEY FRANCIS MACAULAY
to be Doctor of Science
For his role in translating the plans for St. Thomas into a reality in Fredericton, our sister University honoured Dr. Macaulay in 1966. How much more should we honour him for his major role in transforming our campus from the cluster of five building it was when he came, to the beautiful complex of buildings that dot the hillside today. To oversee this great expansion of buildings might have been job enough but along with this he had to tailor the administrative side of the University to respond to the great growth of students and faculty that began in the '50’s. Little wonder that one would see him on many a Saturday and Sunday, his young son often perched proudly on his shoulders, checking the site of the latest construction.
A native of Grand Manan and a loyal alumnus of UNB, he served in the Royal Canadian Navy and in various engineering and business positions before taking up his first post at UNB as Business Manager in 1951, becoming Vice-President (Administration) in 1960.
His contributions to this University have been many and distinguished. A skillful negotiator and wise counsellor on formal and informal matters, Bev Macaulay has made a mark on UNB as large as himself through his support of athletics and the University residence programme, through his representing of the University to the community and province in which we live. His love for UNB has been evident and his stewardship vigilant. His labours are everywhere visible. His alma mater gratefully bestows upon him this high mark of her esteem.
Praeses admittit Beverley Franciscum Macaulay honoris causa ad gradum Doctoris in Scientia.
