Stephen Leacock

Stephen Leacock, Canada's beloved humorist, spent his most creative time in what he coined as Lake Simcoe Country. Leacock is best known for his Elements of Political Science and satirical books, Literary Lapses, Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town, and Arcadian Adventures of the Idle Rich. He was also a well-known educator and lecturer. Leacock was born in England in 1869 and emigrated to Canada with his parents and siblings when he was 7 years old. Leacock studied languages and literature at Upper Canada College and the University of Toronto, but hard times forced him to withdraw from those studies and become a high school teacher. Eventually he resumed his studies and earned his BA. In 1903 Leacock also earned his PhD in Political Science and Political Economy. In 1908, he became head of his department at McGill University and helped found the University Club. Leacock was elected to the Royal Society of Canada in 1919 and in 1921 made an extensive lecture tour of the United Kingdom. In 1935 he received the Mark Twain Medal. He retired from McGill in 1936 to Old Brewery Bay where he enjoyed his many recreational and leisure pursuits.
