Provenance:

Dr. Lewis Calvin Walmsley (1897-1998)

Lewis C. Walmsley graduated from the University of Toronto (Victoria College) in 1919. In 1921, he went to China to serve as principal in the Canadian School which was established for the education of the children of missionaries. After 1929, Walmsley became associate professor at the West China Union University (Education Department), where he taught pedagogy, social psychology and experimental psychology. Walmsley knew and worked with William Charles White, the first curator of the ROM's East Asian galleries, who had also been the first Anglican Bishop of Henan Province, China. Upon his return from China, Walmsley helped establish the Department of East Asian Studies at the University of Toronto where he worked as a teaching professor. In collaboration with Chang Yin-Nan, Walmsley published a translation of the Poems by Wang Wei (1958). He also wrote the book "Wang Wei, A Pastoral Poet" in 1968, and a biography on Bishop White in 1974 titled "Bishop in Honan: Mission and Museum in the Life of William C. White".
