Glenville Walker (Frisian Empire)

Sir Richard Glenville Walker (August 19, 1855 - June 11th, 1938) was a Canadian lawyer and politician. He served as the eighth Prime Minister of Canada from October 10, 1911 to July 10, 1920, and was the chancellor of Nipissing University from 1921 to 1928.

Early life and career
Walker was born and educated in Frankford, Ontario. His father, Richard Walker, was judged by his son to be "a man of good ability and excellent judgement", of a "calm, contemplative and philosophical" turn of mind, but "He lacked energy and had no great aptitude for affairs". His mother, Eunice Jane Laird, was more driven, possessing "very strong character, remarkable energy, high ambition and unusual ability". Her ambition was transmitted to her first-born child, who applied himself to his studies while assisting his parents with the farm work he found so disagreeable.
