Biographical history
David W. Hay (1905-1990) was a minister of The Presbyterian Church in Canada and chair of systematic theology at Knox College, Toronto. He was born in Capetown, South Africa, and received his Master of Arts in Philosophy from New College, University of Edinburgh in 1929. In 1933 Hay was ordained to ministry and inducted to St. Margaret's Church Dunfermline, Scotland where he served until 1939. He married Christina C. Reid and they had two children Alastair and Olive. Although he was appointed to the chair of systematic theology at Knox College in 1939, his service as a chaplain in the British Army during WWII kept him from beginning this position until 1944. After retiring from Knox College (1981) he served as minister at First Church, St. David's, Ontario (until 1983). During his career, Hay also served as President of the Canadian Council of Churches (1962) and Moderator of the 101st General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Canada (1975)
Custodial history
Scope and content
Fonds consists of lecture notes, public addresses, published papers, and sermons and prayers written by David W. Hay during his career as a minister and as chair of Systematic Theology at Knox College, Toronto. To a large extent the organization of the materials was established by Hay, himself, who appears to have sorted through his papers in 1988. During this sorting he added notes, comments and new headings which appear throughout the papers in red and green marker and in ballpoint pen (in the latter case he included his initials and date).
