Notice biographique
Alexander Grant MacLachlan (1897-1973) was born in Turkey and educated at Queen's University where he earned a B.Sc. in 1922. For many years Mr. MacLachlan operated a construction firm and later a lumber firm in Kingston. In 1936 he took a leave of absence to serve as private secretary to Kingston M.P. Norman Rogers, first in the Department of Labour and then of Defence. After Mr. Rogers died in a plane crash in 1940 Mr. MacLachlan remained with the Labour Department until 1941 when he returned to his Kingston lumber business. Mr. MacLachlan was a leader in many community activities and in 1956 was named Man of the Year by the Junior Chamber of Commerce.
Historique de la conservation
Portée et contenu
The fonds consists of correspondence, subject files relating to MacLachlan's role as secretary to Norman Rogers and as a member of the Queen's University Board of Trustees. Of particular note is a wooden bound volume titled "A Potpourri of Sidelights and Shadows from Turkey." This collection of sketches was printed for private circulation only. Rev. Alexander Grant MacLachlan Sr. (Queen's 1884) attended Union Theological Seminary, New York City,and was appointed a teaching missionary eventually becoming President of the International College at Smyrna. These memoirs show the outreach of American missionary activity and political and military developments in Asia Minor from his forty years in the educational missionary service in Turkey including during the Greco-Turkish War (1919-1922).
