Biographical history
Born in Bloomfield, Ontario in 1901, Morley C. Tillotson graduated with a B.Com. from Queen's University at Kingston in 1926; and an M.A. from Harvard Graduate School of Business in 1929. He was appointed Executive Assistant to the Comptroller and Secretary of the Department of Munitions and Supply in early 1940.
Created by special Act of the Canadian Parliament in September 1939, and brought into force at midnight 8/9 April 1940, the Department of Munitions and Supply carried on and extended the work of its predecessors, the Defence Purchasing Board and the War Supply Board.
During its day - it was folded into the Department of Reconstruction and Supply in late 1945 - this body was responsible for the production of country's mobile fighting force, as well as for the purchase of all supplies for its Armed Services.
For services rendered, Morley C. Tillotson received an M.B.E. in 1947. The following year he returned to Queen's University as Assistant Treasurer. In 1950 he became Treasurer and in 1959 he was appointed Secretary to the University, a post he held until his death in March 1966.
