H.E.T. Haultain: Difference between revisions

'''Herbert Edward Terrick Haultain''' (9 August 1869 – 19 September 1961) was a [[Canadian]] [[engineer]] and [[inventor]].  

He was born in [[Brighton, England]] and died in [[Toronto, Ontario]]. He graduated from the [[University of Toronto]] with a degree in [[civil engineer]]ing from the School of Practical Science (now the [[University of Toronto Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering|Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering]]) in 1889. He was largely responsible for the creation of [[the Ritual of the Calling of an Engineer]] administered to many Canadian engineering students. The Haultain building at the University of Toronto is named for him and he is an inductee of the [[Canadian Mining Hall of Fame]].

In the 1920s 20% to 30% of the Canadian graduating classes in engineering were emigrating to the United States.  In 1927 Professor Haultain and Robert A. Bryce, president of Macassa Mines and a noted mining engineer, co-founded the [[Technical Service Council]], a non-proft, industry-sponsored organization.  Its aim was to retain engineers for Canada by operating a placement service for them.  In 1971, the Council's executive search arm, Bryce, Haultain & Associates, was named after them. He died in 1961, and was buried in Little Lake Cemetery in Peterborough, Ontario, with several other family members.
