Humphrey Hume Wrong
Humphrey Hume Wrong (September 10, 1894 – January 24, 1954) was a Canadian historian, professor, diplomat, and Canada's ambassador to the United States. He was born in Toronto and died in Ottawa.
==Background and early life==
Wrong was part of Canada's true aristocracy. Grandson of Liberal Party leader Edward Blake and son of historian George MacKinnon Wrong, Hume Wrong graduated from high school at Ridley College and was a graduate of the University of Toronto where he joined The Kappa Alpha Society. During World War I, Wrong served in the British Expeditionary Force where he was sent to the front before being invalided. After the war, he went to the University of Oxford for graduate study, and became a history professor at the University of Toronto in 1921. Hume was one of five siblings: educator, Margaret Christian Wrong (1887–1948); historian, Oxford academic, and Magdalene College Don, Edward Murray Wrong (1889–1928); British Army officer, Harold Verschoyle Wrong (born 1891, killed in action July 1, 1916 at the Battle of the Somme during World War I); and Agnes Honoria Wrong (1903-1995).
Wrong joined the newly expanded Canadian Department of External Affairs in the late 1920s, around the same time as fellow future star diplomats Lester Pearson, Norman Robertson, and Hugh Keenleyside; this expansion was engineered by Oscar D. Skelton.〔''Shadow of Heaven: The Life of Lester Pearson'', volume 1, by John English, London 1990, Vintage publishers〕
