In September
1946, Erickson transferred, with advanced standing into the second
year of the School of Architecture at McGill. McGill received strong
letters of recommendation on his behalf, from the President of the
University of British Columbia, the assistant to the Dean of Arts
and Science and Mr. Lawren Harris. At the time, two members of the
McGill School of Architecture staff were well known to Lawren
Harris: Arthur Lismer, a fellow member of the Group of Seven, who
was in charge of Sketching School, Freehand Drawing, History of Art
and Theory of Design; and Gordon Webber, to whom Harris had actually
written, who conducted the course in Basic Design.
