Letter from Frank B. Wilson (February 12,1917)
No full textA three-page letter from Frank B. Wilson, dated February 12th, 1917. The first page of the letter is missing so it is not known who the letter is written to. In this letter, Wilson asks for a college calendar and other literature to be sent to Frank Cowley and Arthur Ransom, giving a brief background on both men. He also states his support of the idea of granting free tuition for two years to men in war (with some exceptions).Frank B. Wilson (1889-1969) was born in Kingston, Ontario. He attended school in Ottawa, where his father opened a bicycle store which ultimately developed into one of the city's first automobile sales outlets. Frank attended Stanstead College (Class of 1908) and later enrolled at Springfield College (Class of 1916). Wilson went overseas in World War I as a captain in the 2nd division, being attached to the Canadian YMCA war services. In 1917 he was promoted to the Adjutant of the Overseas War Services. On his discharge he served for a year with the National Council of YMCA and, prior to his return to Montreal, studied education psychology at Columbia University. It was in 1928 that he first became associated with the Mutual Life Assurance Company.
At the outbreak of World War II, he volunteered for overseas duty but was turned down. Instead he chose to contribute his services by organizing entertainment for the armed forces, becoming chairman of the Auxiliary Services Entertainment Committee for the Montreal Military District No. 4.
In 1941 he was appointed personnel superintendent of the D.I.L. shell-filling plant at Bouchard near Ste. Therese, which post gave him the opportunity to boost the morale of hardworking employees there. After 2.5 years he was able to return to his insurance post. He passed away on May 27 1969.There are actually four pages to this letter, but the first page was not included in the collection
