Eliza Ritchie was a professor, activist and community leader. Born in Halifax in 1856, she graduated from Dalhousie in 1887 with a Bachelor of Letters, and in 1889 was one of the first Canadian women to earn a PhD, from Cornell University, New York. After further studies in Leipzig and Oxford, she taught school in New England from 1890-1900. Ritchie returned to Dalhousie in 1901 to teach philosophy and in 1919 became the first woman to sit on the Board of Governors. She was a founding member of The Dalhousie Review and an occasional contributor. President of the Dalhousie Alumnae Association since 1911, and always an advocate for female students, she was a driving force behind the building of Sherriff Hall in 1922. In 1986 a women's residence was named in her honour. Eliza Ritchie died in Halifax in 1933.
In 2018 Eliza Ritchie was named one of 52 Dalhousie Originals, a list of individuals identified as having made a significant impact on the university and the broader community since Dalhousie's inception in 1818. https://www.dal.ca/about-dal/dalhousie-originals/eliza-ritchie.html

Lothar Richter founded the Institute of Public Affairs (IPA) at Dalhousie University in 1936. Born in 1894 in Silesia, Germany, Richter studied classics, philosophy and Lutheran ideology and earned doctoral degrees in both political science and law. In 1920 he became a civil servant in the Reich Department of Labour in Berlin, helping to draft the new Poor Law and other legislation around workers' compensation, health and employment. In 1933 he moved to England with his wife and young son, having obtained a temporary position at Leeds University through the help of the Archbishop of Canterbury.
In 1934 Carleton Stanley hired Richter as a professor of German, with a grant from the Carnegie Corporation funding his salary. After founding the IPA, which was supported by the Rockefeller Foundation in recognition of the need for greater regional economic and social development, Richter handed over his German courses to his wife, Johanna. The work of the institute contributed to the local community through the development of the Nova Scotia Bureau, Maritime Bureau of Industrial Relations, and the Maritime Labour Institute. Richter also established Public Affairs, Dalhousie’s second quarterly publication. He died in 1948 after a traffic accident.
