SIDNEY EARLE SMITH
to be Doctor of Laws
My Lord Chief Justice, Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen:
In honouring Sidney Earle Smith, we honour the great president of a great Canadian University, the University of Toronto. As teacher, scholar, and administrator Sidney Smith has made a distinguished contribution to university education in Canada, and by his ready wit, his unfailing courage, and his broad human sympathy he has won a multitude of friends.
A native of our sister province of Nova Scotia and a graduate of King's College, Dalhousie and Harvard Universities, Dr. Smith was successively lecturer, assistant professor, and dean of the Dalhousie Law School, president for ten years of the University of Manitoba, and principal of University College, Toronto. Since 1945 he has been president of the University of Toronto. He is the author of several scholarly books and of many articles, and has served as chairman of various Canadian societies, including the National Conference of Canadian Universities, the United Nations Association of Canada, and the Association of Canadian Clubs. In short, no Canadian of his generation has enjoyed more universal respect.
The contribution of Dr. Smith has been formally recognized by a host of universities in Canada, Great Britain, and the United States, and it is with pride that we of the University of New Brunswick add his name to the roll of our alumni.
