After Politics
In December 1930, Premier Ferguson left provincial politics to accept an appointment as Canadian High Commissioner in London. He was succeeded as party leader and Premier by George Stewart Henry.
From 1945 to 1946, he served as Chancellor of the University of Western Ontario. He also gave his name to the Ferguson Block, an office block in Ontario, Canada, as well as the residence cafeteria at University College in the University of Toronto. It is named the "Howard Ferguson Dining Hall". There is also a University College scholarship named after him.
Ferguson died of heart failure at his home in Toronto in 1946.

Famous quotes containing the word politics:
“All politics takes place on a slippery slope. The most important four words in politics are “up to a point.””
—George F. Will (b. 1941)
“Beware the politically obsessed. They are often bright and interesting, but they have something missing in their natures; there is a hole, an empty place, and they use politics to fill it up. It leaves them somehow misshapen.”
