Kenneth MacLean Glazier, Sr.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kenneth MacLean Glazier, Sr. (September 21, 1912 - November 11, 1989) was a Canadian minister and librarian.
In 1940 he married [Lily] Teresa Fester.
He was minister of Glenview Presbyterian Church in Toronto before working at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. He later served as chief librarian of the University of Calgary Library.
While at the University of Calgary, he established in the Rare Books and Special Collections of the library the Kenneth M. Glazier Collection of the papers of Canadian authors,[1]including those of Hugh MacLennan and Mordecai Richler. He funded the Kenneth Maclean Glazier Scholarship for the study of Canadian literature at the university. He wrote or edited Africa South of the Sahara: A Select & Annotated Bibliography, 1964-1968, South Africa; a collection of miscellaneous documents, 1902-1963, and, with Peter Duigan, A checklist of serials for African studies.[1]
He was Secretary of the Alberta Liberal Party.
He died of a heart attack in Calgary.
It is important to distinguish him from his son Kenneth MacLean Glazier, Jr., a moderate figure in the Harvard Student Strike and current California attorney, who usually goes by "Kenneth M. Glazier" or "Kenneth MacLean Glazier,"[2] though there are instances of Kenneth M. Glazier, Sr. being so referred to after the birth of his son.
