It was a stroke of genius on [former Dean of the College] John Munros part to bring Archie, then a young divinity student, into the College deans office in 1964. Throughout his long tenure there, Archie gave everything of himself to the College and to its students. His firm, often very firm, guidance as well as his deep sympathy for those in difficulty benefited very many students of all backgrounds, as well as the College itself. The multifaceted extracurricular life of the College flourished under his leadership, although his deepest interests were always musical. Archie gave me strong personal support when I was dean of the College. Ever since, I have considered him the closest of colleagues and the greatest of friends.
