He earned a B.A. in 1941 from Union College (now the University of Winnipeg), an M.A. (1944) and a Ph.D. (1950) in History from the University of Toronto. He began his academic teaching career in 1943 at the University of Toronto and, in 1968, came to Queen's University's Depertment of History, by way of the University of Saskatchewan.
