Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Logan, Harry Tremaine, 1887-1971 (family) : Harry T. Logan (1887-1971) was born at Londonderry, N.S., the son of Barbara E. and the Reverend John A. Logan, and raised in British Columbia. Logan studied classics at McGill University, graduating in 1908, and spent the next three years as a Rhodes Scholar at St. John's Collge, Oxford University. Gwyneth N.L.R. Murray (1888-1979), born at Oxford, England was the daughter of Sir James Murray, editor of the Oxford English Dictionary. She briefly attended the predominantly Anglican Oxford University but by 1911 had moved to Cambridge University where she felt more at home because of her Congregationalist upbringing. At Cambridge Gwyneth Murray studied mathematics and physics, and also taught at the Perse School for Girls from 1912 to 1916.

Harry Logan and Gwyneth Murray first met in Oxford and by August 1911, when he returned to Canada, they were engaged to be married. However, they were not married until 1916, shortly after his regiment, the 72nd Seaforth Highlanders of Canada arrived in England.

Harry and Gwyneth moved to Canada in 1919. She became an author and homemaker while he taught Classics at the University of British Columbia from 1920 to 1936 and from 1949 to 1968. He was also active in the Fairbridge Society, a British-based organization concerned with child emigration. During 1936-1945 he was principal of the Prince of Wales Fairbridge Farm School on Vancouver Island. Harry Logan died in 1971 and Gwyneth died in 1979.
