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:
“Social history might be defined negatively as the history of a people with the politics left out.”
—G.M. (George Macaulay)
“All you can be sure about in a political-minded writer is that if his work should last you will have to skip the politics when you read it. Many of the so-called politically enlisted writers change their politics frequently.... Perhaps it can be respected as a form of the pursuit of happiness.”
