Fraser’s replacement was one of Harrison’s former students, Bertram Thomas Dickson (1886-1982). Dickson was born in Leicestershire, England, and after attending the University of London for a year he came to Canada and completed a B.A. degree at Queen’s University in 1915. He then went to Cornell University where, while a graduate student, he was instructor in plant pathology. Dickson left Cornell, without obtaining a degree, to join the British army in France during the First World War. Eventually, he was made Commandant of the First Army School of Agriculture, with the rank of Captain. After being wounded and getting his discharge, he returned to Canada.
