Loneliness follows a knighted McLennan
CONTINUED FROM > PAGE 19
He retired from the Univer-
sity of Toronto in 1932. McLen-
nan and his wife built a large
home named Ramsay Lodge in
Surrey, England equipped with
a laboratory. In England,
McLennan continued research
that he had started in Ontario
on radiation as cancer treat-
ment. Langton said that he was
"absorbed" in the possibilities
using radiation in cancer treat-
ment. In 1934, he was
appointed honorary secretary
and treasurer of the British
Radium Beam Therapy
Research Committee.
Yet, despite the honours and
acclaim, McLennan was des-
perately lonely man. His wife's
sudden death in March 1933
devastated McLennan. In
a letter to his sister living in
Stratford, McLennan wrote that
when was knighted by King
George V in July 1935 for "fun-
damental discoveries in sci-
ence and scientific services," he
noticed that "outside there
were throngs of relatives of the
recipients of knighthoods wait-
ing for them but no one for
me'
Sir John had little time to
enjoy his knighthood. While
returning from a conference in
Paris on International Weights
and Measurements, he died on
October 9, 1935 alone in a rail
car in France. He was buried
next to his wife on their Scottish
estate. In his London Times
obituary, Lord Rutherford fit-
tingly dubbed McLennan "the
acknowledged leader of sci-
ence in Canada.'
