While in his teens, MacKenzie joined his older brothers in Saskatchewan, and for five years lived on a homestead near Qu’Appelle. Going overseas in World War I, he twice earned the Military Medal and then returned to Halifax for his Arts and Laws degrees at Dalhousie, followed by postgraduate years at Harvard and Cambridge.

MacKenzie became president of the University of New Brunswick in 1940. MacKenzie was president of the University of British Columbia from 1944 to 1962.
