Biography
Walker held lectureships or chairs at several universities, including Aberdeen and Yale, before, in 1955, he was elected to the Molton Chair of English at McGill University, from where he retired in 1970 as Professor Emeritus.
He was described, in an obituary in St Catharine's College Society Magazine, as "a quiet, gentle and courteous man, yet formidable as both scholar and administrator".1
