Biographical history
Stuart James Schofield was born in Kent, England. After moving to Kingston, Ontario as a child, he completed his BA (1904), MA (1906), and B.Sc. (1908) at Queen's University. He later completed a Ph.D. at MIT (1912). He began his geological career with the Geological Survey of Canada as a student assistant to R.W. Brock in 1906. In 1915, Schofield accepted Brock's invitation to start courses in Geology and Mineralogy at the newly established University of British Columbia. He was appointed professor of Structural Geography at the university in 1920. After accepting responsibility for making a geological survey of Hong Kong in 1906, Brock sent Schofield to undertake a general reconnaissance for six months. Ill health forced Schofield to retire from UBC in 1940; he died in Vancouver in 1947.
