Biographies

WARD, LEONARD KEITH (1879-1964), geologist and public servant, was born on 17 February 1879 at Petersham, Sydney, fourth of eight children of Frederick William Ward, a journalist from New Zealand, and his Australian-born wife Amy Ada, née Cooke. One of his brothers was Hugh Kingsley Ward. After attending Sydney and Brisbane Grammar schools and winning a Queensland university exhibition, Keith studied arts and then mining and metallurgy at the University of Sydney (B.A., 1900; B.E., 1903). Taught geology by (Sir) Edgeworth David, he gained experience with Broken Hill Proprietary Co. Ltd before joining the staff of the Western Australian School of Mines, Kalgoorlie, in 1903.
