Historia biográfica

A.R.M. Lower was born at Barrie, Ontario, on August 12, 1889. In the fall of 1907, Lower took a teacher-training course, and in second term obtained a teaching job. In the fall of 1909, he registered in the Faculty of Education of the University of Toronto, and in 1910 enrolled in the Faculty of Arts at the University of Toronto. In the spring of 1916, Lower joined the Royal Navy Volunteer Reserve. Returning home in 1919, Lower began work as Assistant Chairman of the Board of Historical Publications. While working with the Board of Historical publications, Lower began and completed his M.A. degree in History from University of Toronto, receiving his degree in 1923.

He remained at United College until 1947, when he came to Queen's University as Douglas Professor of History and remained there until his retirement from active teaching at Queen's at the end of the 1958-59 sessions. A member of the Canadian Historical Association, having been its President in 1943, and of the Civil Liberties Association in Winnipeg, of which he was president in 1940-41, he also was an active member of the Canadian Institute of International Affairs. During 1961-62, he was President of the Royal Society of Canada.
