Sir William had a courteous, or rather a courtly, manner, 
based on a genuine consideration for all. He was respected and 
beloved by all who knew him, and especially endeared himself

the geological department of his university by the establishment 
of a second chair in geology, to be known as the Dawson Chair, 
which has just been endowed in his memory by Sir William 
Macdonald.
