LORNE PIERCE, A Profile by C.H. Dickinson, is a record of many of the influences which moulded the luminous multi-faceted character that was Lorne Pierce. For readers to whom the subject of this profile was unknown, the record shows what manner of man he was.

Readers who knew Dr. Pierce will be able to amplify from their own recollections those qualities which they found most engaging. He touched life at many points; he had a genius for friendship and his friends, both English and French Canadian, came from many walks of life.
