In 1934 he commenced with John Millen and Co., eventually becoming its President and chairman of the Board. Millen served as Governor of McGill University from 1955 to 1958. He also served in a number of other capacities at McGill, including Chairman of the Alma Mater Fund, President of the Montréal Branch of the McGill Graduates' Society, and Chairman of the Athletics Board.
Millen's papers fall into three series: records from his legal career, records from his business career, and files concerning McGill. Documenting his career as a lawyer are 8 cm of correspondence regarding lawsuits and court cases, interspersed with some personal matters, e.g. the affairs of the Graduates' Society (1930-1934). Appointment diaries cover the years 1931-1933. The bulk of this archive is a group of business files (1949-1970), containing accounting reports and financial statements for John Millen and Co., some miscellaneous correspondence, and clippings concerning business and politics. Millen's work for the Graduates' Society and as a McGill governor is the subject of files of correspondence, memoranda, minutes and printed material, largely on fund raising and athletics (1930-1972).
