In 1865 he entered McGill College where, four years later, he received a ba in natural science with first-class honours. He obtained a phd in mineralogy, with distinction, from the Sheffield Scientific School of Yale College in New Haven, Conn., in 1871. He is believed to have been the first Canadian to receive a doctorate from the college. His thesis dealt with the Siemens-Martin process for producing steel."
"In his 36-year teaching career at McGill University, Harrington trained generations of students. Some of them went on to hold leading positions in the field of mining in Canada and the United States. Warm and loyal, always ready to take on a new task, he gave freely of his time and was highly regarded as a professor." Danielle Ouellet in Dictionary of Biography. Vol 13.
