History
Born in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Frederick Moore Clement took degrees in agriculture at the Ontario Agricultural College (1911) and the University of Wisconsin (1922). After serving two years as a lecturer in Horticulture at Macdonald College and two years as director of the Vineland Experimental Station, he came to the University of British Columbia as Professor of Horticulture in 1916. Clement became Dean of the Faculty of Agriculture in 1919. He led the faculty for thirty years before retiring in 1949. In recognition of his accomplishments and special interests, he was, in 1940, appointed Professor and Head of the Department of Agricultural Economics. Clement's outstanding contributions to this institution make him one of its most notable pioneers.
