The Wainwright Fund

Me Arnold Wainwright, O. C., Q.C. on the day he was awarded a doctorate of law honoris causa from McGill in 1963
The Wainwright Fund was established under the terms of the will of the late Arnold Wainwright, Q.C. (1879-1967), B.A. (1899), B.C.L. (1902), D.C.L. hon. causa (1963), of the Montreal Bar. Me. Wainwright taught Civil law at McGill University from 1909 to 1934. His merits as a teacher of the Civil Law for over twenty-five years were recognized by the University when it named him Emeritus Professor upon his retirement in 1934. Moreover, in 1963, the degree of Doctor of Civil Law honoris causa was conferred upon him by the University.

Me. Wainwright bequeathed the residue of his estate to McGill University for the use of the Faculty of Law. In so doing, he intended to promote the scholarly study of the Civil Law of Quebec, which had always remained his abiding interest throughout his long and distinguished career.
