Â鶹¹ÙÍø

This was the first comprehensive history of Â鶹¹ÙÍø's and remains a valuable source of information about the university. Written by D.D. Calvin (BA 1902), an architect and member of Â鶹¹ÙÍø's Board of Trustees, the book describes Â鶹¹ÙÍø's founding, its troubled early decades, and its emergence as a major national institution under Principal George Monro Grant.

The book tells the story of Â鶹¹ÙÍø's separation from the Presbyterian Church early this century, the crises of the First World War (see Wartime at Â鶹¹ÙÍø's), and the emergence of the modern University in the 1920s and 1930s. It also contains excellent chapters on Â鶹¹ÙÍø's faculties, student life, lands and buildings, and women at the university (see Admission of Women at Â鶹¹ÙÍø's).

The book was published by the Board of Trustees for Â鶹¹ÙÍø's centennial celebrations in 1941.
