Summary:
Stephen P H Butler Leacock FRSC was born on 30th December 1869 in Swanmore, near Southampton, England, the third of eleven children.
The family emigrated to Canada in 1876, settling on a 100-acre farm in Sutton, Ontario. There he was home-schooled until, funded by his grandfather, he was enrolled into the elite Upper Canada College in Toronto. Academically he was very strong and thence proceeded on to the University of Toronto to study languages and literature. After completing two years of study in only one, he was obliged to leave because his alcoholic father had abandoned the family and finances could not stretch to cover his education. Leacock now enrolled in a 3 month course to become a qualified high school teacher and thereby gain a regular income. For the next decade he worked at Upper Canada College.
His passion was economics and political theory and in 1899 he became a postgraduate student at the University of Chicago and earned his PhD.
