ENCAENIA, MAY, 1957
ARTHUR DEINSTADT GANONG
to be Doctor of Civil Law
My Lord Chief Justice, Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen:
The University of New Brunswick today honours one of its most distinguished alumni and one of the finest athletes ever to wear the Red and Black colours. The late Chancellor C.C. Jones, a great connoisseur of football players, once described him as the greatest halfback ever to wear a U.N.B. uniform.
From this university, Arthur Ganong entered the family business which had been established in 1872 by his uncle James H. Ganong. The drive and initiative which had served him so well on the athletic field were now transmitted to the world of business. In a short space of time, he became manager and ultimately president of his firm, a post which he held until a few weeks ago when, after sixty years of service, he became chairman of the board. In addition to his activities in the world of business, Arthur Ganong has played an impotent part in promoting the welfare of his native Charlotte County and the Province of New Brunswick. As a Member of Parliament, a member of four New Brunswick Royal Commissions, and as a member of the Senate of this university, he has devoted a large part of his life to public affairs.
In Arthur Deinstadt Ganong, the University of New Brunswick honours a distinguished son whose life illustrates the fact that it is possible to build and maintain a large and successful business, manufacturing in New Brunswick but selling throughout the length and breadth of the Canadian nation.
