George Eulas Foster
Sir George Eulas Foster, (Canadian) PC, (Imperial) PC, GCMG (September 3, 1847 – December 30, 1931) was a Canadian politician and academic. He coined the phrase "splendid isolation" to praise the British foreign policy in the late 19th century.
Foster was an MP and a senator in the Canadian Parliament for a total of 45 years, 5 months and 24 days. He enjoys the unique distinction of having served in the cabinets of seven Canadian Prime Ministers: Macdonald, Abbott, Thompson, Bowell, Tupper, Borden and Meighen.
Aside from his coldly severe and lugubrious personality, two factors thwarted whatever ambitions he may have had to become Prime Minister himself: the curious circumstances of his first marriage in the United States to his previously married housekeeper,〔Donald G. Creighton, ''John A. MacDonald: The Old Chieftain'' (Toronto: Macmillan, 1955) pp. 450, 457, 492, 540.〕 and his later involvement in a trust company scandal.〔Augustus Bridle, ''Sons of Canada: Short Studies of Characteristic Canadians'' (Toronto: J.M. Dent, 1916) pp. 221-227.〕
==Background==
Born in Carleton County, New Brunswick, Foster received a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of New Brunswick in 1868. He taught in various high schools and seminaries until 1870 when he was appointed Professor of Classics and Ancient Literature in the University of New Brunswick. He shortly afterwards studied in Edinburgh, Scotland, and Heidelberg, Germany, resuming his professorship in 1873. He resigned in 1879.
