	A prominent member of the legal profession in Saskatoon is General
Middleton Grant, named in honor of General Middleton, whose offices
are in the Kempthorn building. He was born in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada,
on the 24th of May, 1888, a son of Peter and Sarah Ann (Lundy) Grant,
who were also natives of that province, where for many years the father
engaged in agricultural pursuits.  In 1902 he went to Brandon, Mani-
toba, ~here he is now living retired. Mrs. Grant died in July, 1917.
	In the acquirement of his education General Middleton Grant attended
the public schools of his native province and subsequently enrolled in the

with the LL. B. degree in 1916. He was admitted to the bar the follow-
ing year. Upon the outbreak of the Great war Mr. Grant enlisted in the
service of his country, going overseas with the Second Division as inter-
preter.  He received his honorable discharge in 1919. In February of
that year he went to London for postgraduate work, being among the one
hundred men selected to attend the British universities. In September,
1919, he returned to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, where he established of-
fices for the practice of his profession. He practices independently and
has built up an extensive and lucrative clientele. Although the greater
part of Mr. Grant's time and attention has been devoted to his profes-
sional interests, he has also followed farming. In 1906 he took a home-
