Bio/Historical Note: Murdoch Alexander MacPherson was born in 1891 at MacPherson House on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. He attended law school at Dalhousie University in Halifax. MacPherson served in World War I and commanded a company of the 10th Battalion at the Battle of Vimy Ridge where he came out unscathed. He was wounded by shellfire, however, at Arleux, near Arras, a few days later. MacPherson Avenue in Regina, Saskatchewan was later named in his honour, and is an official memorial of the Canadian Department of National Defence. After the war he practiced law in Saskatchewan and eventually became a Queen's Counsel (QC). MacPherson was first elected to the Saskatchewan legislative assembly in 1924, and remained a member of the Legislative Assembly until his defeat in the 1934 provincial election that wiped out the Conservative Party. He was called to Ottawa late in the term of the R.B. Bennett government to assist in creating the Farm Credit Corporation. In 1959 he headed a Royal Commission: the MacPherson Commission. In 1938 and again in 1942, MacPherson was a candidate at the federal Conservative leadership conventions, coming in second place on both occasions. The University of Saskatchewan awarded MacPherson an honourary Doctor of Civil Law degree in 1961. MacPherson died in Regina in 1966.
