Herbert Edward Terrick Haultain (1869-1961) greatly influenced the world’s mining industry through his research and teaching. The superpanner and infrasizer, two of his inventions, made ore dressing a more efficient operation and were soon in global demand. His graduates in Mining Engineering became leaders in their profession.
He originated and supervised a program of occupational therapy for World War I veterans.
Herbert’s conception of the Ritual of the Calling of an Engineer, with aid from Rudyard Kipling, resulted in the first Ritual being held at Camp I, in Toronto, in 1925. The Ritual is only for Canadian Engineers and reminds them of their obligation to maintain high professional standards.
