==Education==
Stewart was a graduate of Pictou Academy in 1906 〔Barry Cahill, ''The Thousandth Man: A Biography of James McGregor Stewart'', The Osgoode Society: University of Toronto Press, 2000, p. 13.〕 and a gold medalist at Dalhousie University in 1909.〔Barry Cahill, ''The Thousandth Man'', p. 19.〕 He graduated from Dalhousie Law School in 1914 at the top of his class where he was also President of the Students' Council.〔Barry Cahill, ''The Thousandth Man'', p. 25.〕 He was shortlisted for the Rhodes Scholarship but was not successful. The faculty senate at Dalhousie voted in 1910 not to appoint Stewart because he had had polio as a boy and walked with crutches. The motion proposed by Dean Richard Chapman Weldon read: ''"Serious physical defects should be considered as rendering a candidate ineligible for the Rhodes Scholarship."'' 〔Barry Cahill, ''The Thousandth Man'', p. 21.〕
