Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Malloch, Archibald, 1926- : Archibald Edward Malloch was born in 1926, the son of Dr. Thomas Archibald Malloch and Katharine Abbott, and served from 1944 to 1945 with the Royal Canadian Signals Corps during the Second World War. He received his BA from Queen's University in 1948 and did his graduate studies at Harvard and the University of Toronto. Northrop Frye was the dominant figure in the Department of English at Toronto in those years but Malloch studied under Marshall McLuhan, who had not yet risen to prominence, and formed a lasting friendship with him. He received his PhD in 1958 for his critical study of John Donne's "Biathanatos". Malloch taught English at McGill University from 1954 to 1988 where, in addition to teaching and writing on English literature, he became active in the Canadian Association of University Teachers and served as the Chair of its Academic Freedom and Tenure Committee from 1970 to 1974. As a result of the expertise he developed in this area, he was much sought after to serve on committees of inquiry and boards of arbitration to resolve academic grievances and disputes. Malloch received the Milner Memorial Award from the CAUT in 1979, which is given only occasionally, for his distinguished contribution to the cause of academic freedom, and received the Noel Fieldhouse Award from the Faculty of Arts at McGill University in 1988 for excellence in teaching. Further recognition of his contributions came with the publication of a collection of essays in his honour, "Literature and Ethics: Essays Presented to A. E. Malloch" (Montreal and Kingston: McGill-Queen's University Press, 1988), edited by Gary Wihl and David Williams.
