(1873-1959) Canadian Presbyterian minister and author of The Magnificent Eugenic (1933), a tale in which a Utopian future is enabled through the triumph of Eugenics (see Biology; Race in SF) as daringly espoused by the female protagonist. Three chapters were reportedly published earlier as magazine stories titled "Thoroughbred Humans", "Give Me Joseph" and "Blessed Are the Well-Born". None of these has been traced. [JC]
