numerous contributions to charitable, cultural, and educational works. Perhaps Dunn's most significant legacy was the discovery of a productive ore near Bathurst, which was exploited by as many as 700 men for half a century from 1953: One of the annual scholarships, that were provided by Dunn in 1947 to the University of New Brunswick, was awarded to a Master's student by the name of A.B. Baldwin, who discovered the ore as his thesis work and thus "greatly enlarged the bounds of provincial prosperity". In fact, Dunn had specified in the deed that the scholarship was to be awarded for only New Brunswick geological work; Baldwin, who was originally interested in samples from Quebec's North Shore, was led by the Dunn gift to examine ore from New Brunswick. As used here, the James Hamet Dunn legacy includes not only the bequests of his estate, but also significant charitable gifts that he made during his lifetime, and may no longer exist. Two examples from his hometown suffice to demonstrate his essence: The James Hamet Dunn Hospital in West Bathurst, New Brunswick was consumed by flames in February 1953 after more than forty years' existence. The hospital iniated in northern New Brunswick a school for nurses. In May 1931, the Our Lady of Lourdes of the Lady Dunn Institution sanatorium for the care of tuberculosis patients was opened north of Bathurst. It was managed by the Religious Hospitallers of St. Joseph, and later demolished to become the state-financed Chaleur Regional Hospital. A number of foundations, buildings and academic Chairs bear (or bore) his name including: the Sir James Dunn Jubilee Scholarship at Mount Saint Vincent University in Halifax, Nova Scotia; the Sir James Dunn Wildlife Research Fund of the University of New Brunswick; the Sir James Dunn Residence at the University of New Brunswick, Saint John campus at Saint Thomas University, Fredericton, New Brunswick: the Sir James Dunn Hall and the Sir James Dunn Student Lounge at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia: a Chair in Law; the Sir James Dunn Law Library, the Sir James Dunn Building for Physics & Atmospheric Science, and the Sir James Dunn Theatre at the Arts Center; at Mount Allison University in Sackville, New Brunswick: the Sir James Dunn Chair in Geology and the Sir James Dunn Building for the computer science, mathematics and physics departments; the Sir James Dunn Animal Welfare Centre at the University
