History
Dr. Margaret E. MacKay Sawyer was a professor of physiology at Queen's University for almost forty years. She was born in New Glasgow Nova Scotia, and received her B.A and M.A in Biology from Dalhousie University. She then received her PhD in Biology in 1930 from McGill University, and continued her postdoctoral research at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Sawyer moved to Kingston in 1939 and started teaching Physiology at Queen's University: first as a fellow, then a lecturer, and finally as a professor. She continued her research alongside her teaching career and wrote numerous articles for academic journals, such as the American Journal of Physiology. After the passing of her first husband, Dr. Sawyer married Dr. G. Harold Ettinger - a colleague from the Physiology Department - in 1969. Because of this, she is sometime identified as Dr. Margaret Ettinger. She passed away in Kingston in 2003.
