  "An Educationalist, he attended the University of Toronto (B.A., 1881; D.Sc., 1914), McGill University (M.D., 1884), and Berlin University, and in 1887, he was appointed lecturer in Chemistry in the medical faculty of McGill University. He became Professor of Chemistry in 1891, Professor of Organic and Biological Chemistry in 1902, Director of the Department of Chemistry in 1912, and Dean of the Faculty of Graduate Studies in 1924. In 1896, he was elected a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada and in 1919, he was elected president of the society. He retired from teaching in 1928, and he died two years later in Montreal. For several years, he was president of the Royal Montreal Golf Club. On January 9, 1959, in his memory, the Ruttan Room, Department of Chemistry, McGill University, Montreal, was opened. It has been said that he had possession of the "Ruttan Clock" but there is no evidence to this effect." (Ruttan, 1986 p.37).
