Biographical history
George Earle Wilson taught history at Dalhousie University from 1919-1969. He was hired as a lecturer in history and political economy just prior to the opening of the 1919-20 session, giving up a travelling fellowship at Harvard University. In 1921 Wilson was promoted to associate professor, and in 1925 to full professor and head of the history department. He also served as Dean of Arts and Science from 1945-1955 and was named professor emeritus in 1965, continuing to teach part-time until 1969, when he retired after five decades of service.
In 1950 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, and in 1961 he was elected President of the Humanities and Social Science section of the Society.
George Earl Wilson died on 7 June 1973. The Department of History continues to award the Dr. George E. Wilson Prize, which was established on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the Class of 1927.
