Leonard Philip Edwards
By: Joyce Cameron
Wednesday, January 31, 2001
Father, teacher, choir member, Rotarian, curler, golfer. Born June
12, 1905, in Arichat, Cape Breton, N.S. Died Nov. 24, 2000, in Fredericton,
N.B., of pneumonia, aged 95. When young Leonard Edwards couldn't
gain admission to college, he turned his attention to the other side of
the classroom -- the teaching side -- and kept it there for the next 75
years of his life. At two months of age, Leonard had convulsions and nearly
died. While he lost vision in one eye from the illness, he developed an
extraordinary zest for life and indomitable spirit. He first tasted formal
learning at the age of 4. That early start, however, had him graduate from
high school (which then ended with Grade 11 in Nova Scotia) too young
to attend university. At 15, he had to take another direction. His first
positions as a teacher were at Janvin's Harbour School and Pondville, not
far from his home in Arichat. As the schools' only teacher, he taught all
subjects in 11 grades to all students -- some older than he was. By the
time he was old enough for the Nova Scotia Normal School in Truro in February,
1924, he had taught for 3« years. With speed, efficiency and a high
level of achievement he earned a Superior Licence in five months.
Next came positions as principal at the age of 19 at Joggins Mines, N.S.,
where he met his future wife Bernice (now deceased). Then as a teacher
at Pictou Academy, during which time he was married. Then, as principal,
in River Hebert, N.S., where all three of his children were born. Between
1935 and 1938, Dr. Edwards was finally able to pursue a university degree
full-time at Acadia, earning a BA in 1937 and an MA in 1938. He taught throughout
at Horton Academy, acting at the same time as housemaster at the Horton residence
where the family lived. His studies came to a stop and a postgraduate scholarship
for Cornell University had to be refused when problems with his one good
eye developed. But his teaching continued. He served as principal of Windsor
Academy until 1946 and lectured in summer school at Acadia. The influx of
veterans after the Second World War brought his 23 years of teaching in NovaScotia
public schools to an end and commenced his 27-year relationship with the
University of New Brunswick in the city where he spent his remaining
years. Dr. Edwards liked to recall that it was UNB President Milton Gregg
himself who invited him to teach mathematics in Fredericton. At UNB, he
taught all his children: Stirling, Merrill and Diane. During 1966-70, he
served as department head. Students flocked to the courses bearing the magic
name of L. P. Edwards. He became known as the mathematics teacher. In recognition
of his outstanding teaching, he received the first Excellence in Teaching
Award at UNB in 1972. In that same year, he received an honorary doctorate
from Kings College in Halifax in recognition of his contributions not only
in education but also as an active Anglican layman. Following his retirement
from UNB in 1973, he was made a professor emeritus, continued to teach courses
and eventually started tutoring, usually five to six students a year. Many
said they went to him because he'd taught their parents, and their parents
had sent them. He decided at 90 he would stop tutoring. A call from one
more student kept him teaching a little bit longer. Twice a week from his
home, his explanations helped his last student understand the tougher concepts
in calculus and earn an A. While Dr. Edwards will be remembered by
many for his teaching, administrative abilities, and active role in community
and church life, his children may best remember him for his singing. He sang
when he got up in the morning. He sang while he fixed things. He was still
singing in hospital the week before he died.
