F. H. Sexton: A Dalhousie Original

After a brief stint as an assistant metallurgist at MIT, Frederic Henry Sexton (1879-1955) came to Halifax in 1904 to teach mining engineering and metallurgy. It wasn’t long before his prowess as an educator and administrator landed him the role of founding principal of the newly formed Nova Scotia Technical College when it opened in 1907. He was a foundational player in Nova Scotia’s rapidly growing industrial sector throughout the first half of the 20th century, and today he's honoured in the name of the Dal campus formed following the college's merger with the university.

Visit the Dalhousie Originals website to watch Dr. Sexton's video and read his story.
