Wallace (as he then was) was practising at the firm then known as Bull, Housser, Tupper, Ray, Guy, and Merritt, along with a collection of younger fellows with no strong sense of respect for their elders. Wallace J. (as he now is) decided to have a sign made which read, “In Conference”. He designed it so that it could be hung by a little chain from his doorknob when he did not wish to be disturbed. He was forced to discontinue its use within a week. The first time he hung it out, W.A. Esson (as he then was) turned it over and wrote in large black ink letters on the back of it, “Gone Fishing”. Its owner, emerging from his office, discovered this reversal and the legend on the back and restored the sign to its proper position. It was to no avail. Any time he hung it on his doorknob, the first person to walk past his door turned it around. He discreetly filed it in his desk drawer and it was never used again. —Reprinted from (1984) 42 Advocate 406
THE ADVOCATE VOL. 72 PART 1 JANUARY 2014 115 NOS DISPARUS By R.C. Tino Bella Arthur Morrell Harper, Q.C. Arthur Harper was born in Vancouver on February 17, 1914, to Andrew Miller Harper and Ellen Redgrave Harper. Unlike the majority of British Columbians, Arthur lived his whole life here, with the exception of the war years. As he was the youngest of three children and the only son in the family, he was introduced to the principles of fairness and reason in dispute resolution, which were to guide him all his life. Arthur’s father, Andrew, who was a graduate of Queen’s University, moved to Vancouver in 1906 to article with well-known lawyer Joe Martin and later served on the County and Supreme Courts from 1933 to 1944. The high point, or what at least seemed to be his fondest memory, of public school was the creation of “The Iroquois Club” at Cecil Rhodes Elementary. This small group remained close through all their years. Upon graduating from King Edward High School, Arthur entered the University of British Columbia, where he was fortunate to meet Eleanor Darrel Gomery, whom he would ultimately marry in 1940. No doubt it was here that he found his love of bridge, at which he excelled until the very end. His friends would say that after two rounds he knew which player held which cards. Upon graduation in 1934, Arthur attended the Vancouver Law School, obtaining an articling position with G.E. Housser of Walsh Bull & Company. Until 1995, when UBC conferred an honorary bachelor of laws degree upon him, he relished telling students and young associates that he did not have a degree. Having been called to the bar in 1937, which was still in the Depression years, and always being independent and self-reliant, Arthur decided to hang out his shingle as a sole practitioner in Vancouver.
