Professor Stanton Has Had a Very Illustrious Career. His Contributions to Mathematics Are Varied and Numerous
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Elsevier - Publisher Connector Discrete Mathematics 92 (1991) 1-8 1 North-Holland Professor Stanton has had a very illustrious career. His contributions to mathematics are varied and numerous. He has not only contributed to the mathematical literature as a prominent researcher but has fostered mathematics through his teaching and guidance of young people, his organizatimal skills and his publishing expertise. The following briefly addresses some of the areas where Ralph Stanton has made major contributions. Mathematics at the University of Waterloo In 1957, Professor Stanton took the courageous step of leaving the University of Toronto and joining the embryonic University of Waterloo. At that time, he was the entire Mathematics Department. When he left Waterloo nine years later, in 1946, he had formed a Faculty of Mathematics which is now recognized as one of the major research centres in Canada. He was able to do this because of his own stature, which allowed him to attract excellent colleagues; his tireless energy in teaching and research; and his general dedication to excellence. In addition to his work in Mathematics, he served as Dean of Graduate Studies in the University and helped in building up many other areas besides Mathematics. Since his departure from Waterloo, he has undertaken the task of building up Computer Science at the University of Manitoba, and he has succeeded in forming a strong research group there. Contrihtions to speciiic disciplines Trofessor Stanton’s first love was Statistics, an area in which there was a great shortage twenty-five years ago; he trained many statisticians personally, and built up the nucleus of the present Waterloo department, which is now among the strongest statistical research groups in Canada. -
Ralph Gordon Stanton Passed Away Quietly April 21, 2010, in St
RALPH GORDON STANTON RALPH GORDON STANTON (October 21, 1923 - April 21, 2010) Ralph Gordon Stanton passed away quietly April 21, 2010, in St. Boniface Hospital, at the age of 86, of cardiac arrest. Ralph always preferred an uncomplicated life, and asked for little more than a shelf of good books, his stamp collection, a tasty meal, and congenial company. His 64 year academic career was marked by many achievements and honours, and he will long be remembered for his teaching, mentorship and supervisory skills, and for his philanthropic generosity. Ralph Stanton, Canadian mathematician, teacher, scholar and pioneer in mathematics and computing education, was born in 1923 in Lambeth, Ontario. Eldest of four, Ralph was followed by his sister Elsie, who passed away a few years ago. He is survived by a sister Marion, and a brother Frank. Ralph's impressive curriculum vitae speaks for his integrity, patience, perseverance, and loyalty. He started at the University of Western Ontario (BA in Math and Physics, 1944) and went on to study at the University of Toronto (MA, PhD, 1945 and 1948), where he taught from 1946 to 1957. In 1957, Ralph chose to move to Kitchener-Waterloo to work on a planned expansion of Waterloo College that would include co-operative education. A man of great foresight, he realized the potential of such a development at a time when it was belittled by most. The expansion soon became the fledgling University of Waterloo, now regarded as one of the best institutions in Canada, and Ralph's energy and efforts played a significant role in the early development that led to future success. -
