Professor Ernest Haycock; 1867-1918. 



Professor Ernest Haycock, M. A., was born at West- 

 port, Digby Co., Nova Scotia, on 29th Ma\', 1867, and died at 

 Wolfville, N. S., on 13th April. 1918, aged 51 years. He 

 came of United Empire Loyalist stock, and was a son of 

 Maurice and Eliza (Peters) Haycock. He secured his early 

 education in the public schools, and for a time sailed on a 

 fishing vessel. He attended Acadia University, Wolfville, 

 where he graduated B.A. in 1896. and then went to Harvard 

 University, where he obtained his B.A. in 1897 and M.A. in 

 the next year, being instructed in geology by Prof. W. IM. 

 Davis. 



From 1898 to 1910 he was instructor in chemistry, 

 mineralogy, and geolog}^ at Acadia University; and in the 

 latter year was appointed professor in the same subjects, 

 succeeding Prof. Coldwell, and held that chair with ability 

 until his death. 



He became an associate member of the Nova Scotian 

 Institute of Science on 17th May, 1899, and in April of the 

 succeeding year read his first paper, "Records of Post-Triassic 

 Changes in Kings County, N. S,," which was soon followed 

 by a number of others, all of which showed him to be a system- 

 atic, well-trained observer, a good geologist, and a clear writer.
