Mathematician, Physicist, 1895-1984. Frank Keeping came to the University of Alberta in 1929 as an assistant professor of mathematics. He served as the head of the Department of Mathematics from 1954 to 1961. He retired in 1971 and was awarded an honorary Doctor of Laws in 1972. Trained as a physicist, his scholarly interests included astronomy, applied mathematics and mathematical statistics; in the latter field he was a national authority.

He was the first curator of the University's art collection, and with his wife, Dr. Silver Keeping, was an active supporter of the theatre and musical groups of Edmonton.
