Bryce was born near Mount Pleasant, Canada West (now Ontario). He was elected to the Royal Society of Canada in 1902 and served as the Royal Society's president in 1910.[1] He was founder of Manitoba College and was responsible for organizing the Manitoba Historical Society in 1875 and the Manitoba Historical and Scientific Society in 1879.[2]
