In Memoriam 
Max Dunbar 
(1914-1995) 
Max Dunbar, O.C., F.R.S.C., Professor Emeritus, Oceanography, McGill University, died in Montreal on St. 
Valentine's Day, February 14, 1995 at the age of 80. Max Dunbar was born in Edinburgh, where he received a 
classical and liberal education. At Oxford University he studied-r as Max always stressed "readw-Zoology. In 
1935 he made his first research trip to Greenland and the year after to Spitzbergen, Norway. His diary from this 
expedition to Greenland was published in Fontanus volume 4 (1991). At Yale University his studies took him in 
the direction of marine biology. After completing his M.A. at Oxford he enrolled at McGill University where he 
took his Ph.D. in 1941. Max joined several Canadian Government research expeditions through which he became 
keenly aware of the fragility of the northern ecosystems and signs of climatic changes. He pioneered research on 
plankton in Arctic Sea water. Much of this research was done in Greenland where, incidentally, he served as 
Canadian Consul during 1941-42 and 1943-44 and learned to speak Danish fluently with a slight Scottish accent. 
In 1946, Max Dunbar returned to McGill, this time as professor in the Department of Zoology: the beginning 
of a long and distinguished career that never really ended although he officially "retired" in 1982. His research was 
often done in collaboration with his own students. Few professors have fostered so many scholarly scientists from 
among his students. He was a dedicated and deeply committed teacher believing that undergraduate students are a 
university's prime concern. He authored an exceptionally long list of publications. Max Dunbar was a Fellow of 
the Royal Society of Canada, received the Order of Canada and was awarded an honorary doctorate from the 
University of Copenhagen in 199 1. 
Max also saw himself as a musician who sang, played and recorded traditional Scottish ballads. His last book 
of autobiographical essays, titled Essays from a Lije: Scotland, Canada, Greenland, Denmark was published as 
Fontanus Monograph V and was edited by Hans Moller. It came out just before Max Dunbar passed away and in 
fact was given to him only six hours before he died peacefully, content to hold the book in his hand. 
A lover of books, from scientific journals to poetry, Max often said he could never leave McGill University 
because "it has one of the finest libraries in the world." Before his death he and his family asked that in lieu of 
flowers, donations be given to Fontanus publications. He remained to the end a staunch supporter of Fontanus.
