Chef de la quatrième génération de l’une des dynasties du milieu des affaires les plus prospères du Canada, Herbert Molson (1875–1938) hérita du contrôle de la brasserie de sa famille à Montréal en 1910. Il supervisa la modernisation de ses installations, et tira largement profit de sa rentabilité exceptionnelle dans les années 1920 et même durant la grande dépression. Pendant la Première Guerre mondiale, il servit honorablement outre-mer. Il investit dans nombre des plus importantes sociétés canadiennes et en devint administrateur. Il fit des dons de bienfaisance à des établissements comme la McGill University et le Montreal General Hospital. Il incarnait la continuité historique et la respectabilité bourgeoise. Aucune discussion autour des accords sur les parts de marché, des ententes sur les prix, des manipulations comptables et de l’évasion fiscale – qui caractérisaient ses pratiques professionnelles – ne vint entacher sa réputation.
I was delighted to be able to visit the #ErnestRutherford Museum at #McGillUniversity when I was recently in #Montreal. I spotted this gem in a display case. The docent recalled the story of Harriett Brooks. It rang a bell, and when I got home I cracked open Dava Sobel’s “The Elements of Marie Curie”. Sure enough, Brooks has a whole chapter devoted to her.
The “new gas from radium” is now called “radon” and it’s critical to the research I and many others do in the search for #DarkMatter.
