Biography on back of ANNAPOLIS VALLEY SAGA, Lancelot Press, Windsor, NS 1976
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Malcolm Foster was born at West Torbrook, Nova Scotia, in 1894, the son of Delacy Evans Foster and Mary Sophia Vroom. After attending Middleton High School he graduated in Science from Acadia University and taught at Acadia and Mount
Allison. He married Violet Genevieve Thorpe of Delhaven, N.S.
Post Graduate studies at Yale University were interrupted by service in the American army in World War 1 where he was in action at Chateau Thiery and the Argonne Forest.
Following receipt of his doctorate in 1921 he taught at Yale until 1925. Subsequently he had a distinguished career as professor of mathematics at Wesleyan University in (Middletown) Connecticut.
Dr. Foster enjoyed life to the full. As a young man he was captain of the Acadia baseball team and catcher of the Middleton team that won the Nova Scotia championship. His interest in later life included such unusual hobbies as violin
making and the collection of left-handed mustache cups. Always a skilled raconteur of Nova Scotia folklore, he was working on the manuscript of ANNAPOLIS VALLEY SAGA when his heart failed him in 1952.
