Howard Primrose Whidden (July 12, 1871 – March 30, 1952) was a Canadian churchman, member of Parliament, educator, scholar and editor of ''Canadian Baptist''. Born in Antigonish Harbour, Nova Scotia, became a Baptist minister in Dayton, Ohio and likely knew John D. Rockefeller. Whidden was president of Brandon College, Brandon, Manitoba. He sat in the Canadian House of Commons for four years as a member of the Robert Borden/Conservative led Union government of 1917 (which gave women the right to vote). He was appointed in 1923 sixth Chancellor of McMaster University, then in Toronto, Ontario; and served for 18 years to 1941, making him the longest-serving chancellor or president, to that time. Whidden Hall at McMaster University is named after Chancellor Whidden, as is the Whidden scholarship at McMaster University. He died in Toronto, Ontario and was buried 2 April 1952 at Mount Pleasant Cemetery, Toronto. == Timeline == * ca 1880 educated in the public schools, Antigonish, Nova Scotia * 1891 BA, graduate Acadia University, Wolfville, Nova Scotia * 1894 theology, McMaster University, Toronto, Ontario * ca 1895 University of Chicago, Illinois * 1894-96 Baptist Church, Morden, Manitoba * 1897-1900 Baptist Church, Galt, Ontario * 1898-1900 lecturer, McMaster University, Toronto, Ontario * 1900-1903 professor of Biblical literature and English, Brandon College, Brandon, Manitoba * 1904-1912 pastor, First Baptist Church, Dayton, Ohio * 1912-1923 president, Brandon College, Brandon, Manitoba * 1917 first elected to House of Commons, Brandon riding, supporter Unionist government * 1923-1941 Chancellor, McMaster University, Toronto and Hamilton, Ontario, longest serving chancellor or president * 1936 honorary doctorate DD, Victoria University (now Victoria College, University of Toronto) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Howard P.
