  Howard Ferguson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Honourable George Howard Ferguson, PC (June 18, 1870-February 21, 1946) was a Conservative politician and Premier of Ontario, Canada, from 1923 to 1930.
In 1911, Ferguson argued in the legislature that "no language other than English should be used as a medium of instruction in the schools of this Province," despite the fact that a significant proportion of the population was French-Canadian.
Ferguson's reversal on Regulation 17 was a concession needed for his alliance with Quebec Premier Louis-Alexandre Taschereau.

 Musical Times: In memoriam: Howard Ferguson
The presence of Howard Ferguson in British musical life seemed for so long one of its abiding certainties that news of his death, shortly after his ninety-first birthday, came as a source of surprise and sorrow to many for whom he was a much-loved and still juvenescent figure.
Ferguson himself owed his musical career to the encouragement of the pianist Harold Samuel, who on a visit to Ulster had noticed the talent of the thirteenyear-old Belfast boy and, with his parents' permission, had brought him to London to further his education.
Samuel himself subsequently became the posthumous subject of Ferguson's F minor Piano Sonata, dedicated to his memory premiered by Myra Hess in 1940 and recorded in 1943.
