  Hugh MacLennan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Hugh MacLennan, CC, CQ (20 March 1907 - 9 November 1990) was a Canadian author and professor of English at McGill University.
MacLennan was born in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia and moved with his family to Halifax, Nova Scotia in 1914.
One of MacLennan's students at McGill was Marian Engel, who became a noted Canadian novelist in the 1970s.

John Hugh MacLennan, a five-time winner of Canada’s prestigious Governor General’s Literary Award, contributed immensely to the creation of a distinct Canadian literature.
Although MacLennan regarded Halifax as his home town, he was born in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia, a Cape Breton coastal community dominated, for many years, by the coal-mining industry.
His careful description of the beauty of the Cape Breton landscape is in sharp contrast with the coarseness of the company town with its tenement houses, row on row, and the exploitive aspects and dangers of its labour-intensive collieries.

 St. John River, New Brunswick
The St. John in its upper reaches is slim and graceful, a delicate band through fields and forests, and it looks quiet until you come to Grand Falls where suddenly you see the power of it.
One of the beauties of the St. John at the moment is that few American small-boat owners seem to know about it; if they did the stream would be crowded with craft from half the Eastern States, for there is no river on the continent more suited to pleasure boats than this.
Canada is moving into the lower St. John, just as French Canadians have been steadily moving into the upper reaches of the river, and the power techniques of modern Canada are producing electrical energy from the stream sufficient for dozens of factories.

 UBC Archives - John Hugh Maclellan convocation address
John Donne, for all his fascination with sin and fear of damnation, knew better than this when he said, "Do ye first but love yourselves", meaning that otherwise we cannot love our fellows.
It must be the guardian of The Word which St. John said was in the beginning and was with God.
All of us here, more or less, are clerks, and surely we can use The Word, and use it truthfully, to preserve the self-respect which is the foundation of men and cities, and without which no man or city can be happy or even survive.
