Biographical history
Thomas Greenshields Henderson was educated at Lower Canada College and Bishop's College School before attending McGill University where he obtained his B.A. in 1927, winning the Prince of Wales Gold Medal for mental and moral philosophy. The following year, 1928, he obtained his M.A. After five years of commercial life, he went to Harvard, obtained his doctorate in philosophy, and became an instructor in the Department of Philosophy. He was appointed Chair of Philosophy at the University of British Columbia in 1941, which he held until he decided to continue his association with the 1st Battalion of the Black Watch (Royal Highland Regiment) of Canada during the Second World War.
Custodial history
The fonds was transferred from the McGill Rare Books and Special Collections Department to McGill University Archives, January 6, 1988.
Scope and content
The fonds consists of a small black three-ringed binder composed of five sections (Quotations, Humor, Nonsense, Political, Information) which contain handwritten and typewritten quotations of prose and poetry (notably Shakespeare, Wordsworth, Yeats, among others), and news clippings of articles, cartoons and art, intermingled together on the pages. The last section, Information, contains lists of Latin, words and definitions and signs of the zodiac to name a few.
