He had recently returned from South Africa where he participated in an International Workshop on Cryptoexplosionsand Catastrophiesin the Geological Record. He was born in New Westminster, British Columbia, September 21, 7908, and received his Bachelor of Arts degreein 1929 and the Bachelor ofApplied Sciencede- gree(engineering) in 1930 from the University of British Columbia. He receivedhis Ph.D. from MassachusettsIn- stitute of Technology in 1934,where he had the privilege of being one of Waldemar Lindgren's graduate students and ProfessorLindgren's last teaching assistant.He was also fortunate in being able to spend his summers as a student in the field assistingoutstanding geologistsfrom the GeologicalSurvey of Canada,including W.

  • THE DESIGN of the PETER REDPATH MUSEUM at Mcgill UNWERSITY: the Genesis, Expression, and Evolution of an Idea About Natural History
    THE DESIGN OF THE PETER REDPATH MUSEUM AT McGILL UNWERSITY: The Genesis, Expression, and Evolution of an Idea About Natural History Figure 1. The Peter Redpath Museum (1880..1882) at McGill University: the first Canadian building designed specifically to house a museum of natural history. (Journal BY SUSAN BRONSON of the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada 2, no. 3 (March 1925)) 60 SSAC BUllETIN SEAC 17: 3 S THE FIRST CANADIAN BUILDING DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY TO HOUSE A MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY, the Peter Redpath Museum in A Montreal ( 1880-1882) (figure 1) possesses architectural, scientific, and museological significance.1 Its original design2 constituted a masterful expression of the museum idea of its founder, John William Dawson (1820-1899): his vision of the meaning of natural history and the role that McGill's museum should play in the preservation, presentation, and propagation of its knowledge.3 The account of the genesis, expression, and evolution of this museum idea- a story which spans more than two centuries of changing ideas about science, architecture, and museology- can enrich our understanding of the importance of the Peter Redpath Museum today. It also demonstrates that a full appreciation of the museum's design history, so critical in the establishment of an appropriate philosophy to guide its future, implies looking beyond the original formal features of its building and understanding the broader cultural context that first inspired, then shaped, and finally altered its architecture and arrangement. 17:3 SSAC BULLETIN SEAC 61 THE GENESIS OF THE MUSEUM IDEA (1820-1880) Histories of museums generally begin with the origin of their collections or the background of their masters.
