HISTORY OF DALK0USI2 UK IVERS ITY HISTORY OF DALHOUSIE UNIVERSITY. a,. * J�I In the Cit,y of Halifax, in the historic Province of Nova Sootia, is ail Institution of Learning whose life-story ia intimately R,ssociat8d with events of vital Importance In ths hiatoriss of three great nations. The prelude to the story of Dalhousie University may be traced from the events of those stirring days in ths early part of ths seventeenth csntury, when ths Bourbon kings were striving to plant ths fleur-ds-lis in the Nsw World. Arcong ths company of adventurers, who, under ths initiation of Hsnry de Navarrs, sailed to found a new Prfincs in "Lc C4dJd\ was ons Saint Castln who sraasssd a fortune from a trading-post which hs established at ths mouth of the Penobscot River. This post, which took from its founder ths nama of Oastlns, was fatsd to play Its part in ths founding of ths first free college of liberal learn ing in all the Canadian Dominions, , A century and a half passed with continual wexs and rssult- ing unssttlsment. Certain events, howevsr, bear direct ly upon this narrati%^e. Through ths charter granted to Sir Wllllem Alsxender by King Vt in 1921, ^nsrged ths lend of "Nsw Scotland" whsncs comss the name of Nova Scotia now applied tc this province. In ths changing fortunes of wex,ths French settlement of Oastlns was possessed by ths Commonwealth of snd later � I Massachusstts, b seems part of tha State of Mains a French, British, and Unitsd States possession In turn. During ths war of 1812, it was a "bass for AmsrlOiPJa privatssrs until captured by a British Expedition undsr Sir John Cops Shsrbrooks ^-^'ho constitutsd It a customs port of entry. After the Treaty of Ghsnt, ths British forcss withdrew to Halifax,taking with tham the customs eollsc- tions amounting to the sum of �11,750. This "Oastlne Fund" was ths first endowment of Da,lhousis Univsrsity, and ws may thus trace the origin of this Oollege by ths Sea to sources in the I history of Francs, Great Britain, end the Unitsd States of America. It is to Scotland, howsver, that shs owss hsr birth. Shortly bsfor 8 ths evacuation of the Castlne ports, Gsorgs Remsay, ninth Earl of Dalhousie, had bssn appointed Lieut snsnt-Governor ri of Nova Scctia, end to him fsll ths disposition of the "Castine �m Fund". At that time, ths only institution of higher learning in ths country was King's College, open only to students of the Anglican faith, and entirely undsr ths control of ths Church of Lord England. Dalhousie perceived ths great need for a more liberal institution and in 1818 founded the non-sectRTlan University which bears his name. His last public act in Nova Sootia was ths laying of ths cornor stone on the Grend Parade in 1820, Shortly afterwards Ms appointment as (Jovernor-^Gensral hec3ssitat8d Ms removal from Halifax?:* t)us to mlsmsnagOTsnt and official opposition, the coHegs bf his founding fsll upon svil days until IBBS, when ths Rsv. Dr. Thomas McCulloch was called from the famous Pictou AcadOTiy to bscoms Its first Prssidsnt. An ardsnt reformer and a friend of ths grsat Cenadlan Statesman, JossT)h Howe, this brilliant man � kept ths Institution going largely by ths force of his o^tcl person allty, In ths face of trsmsndous opposition. At his death in 1843 cams a crisis � ^� its funds almost exhausted, Dalhousie closed its doors. In 1863 it ws,s reorganized on a new basis and Dalhousie entered upon a new era. The Rsv, James Ross, D.D., becems ths second President end undsr his guidance and that of ths eminent scholars who con� stitutsd its teaching staff, ths collsgs prospsred for many yssrs. However, financial dlfflcultiss again arose. But this time a dsllvsrsr was at hand. Dr. Ross rssignsd in 1885 and was succeeded by ths Rsv. John Porrsst, It was than that George Munro, a brothsr-in-Taw of Dr. Porrsst, came forward with his magnificent gins which in all aro.ountsd to |320,000. This generous man saved Dalhousie and under Lord John it prospered ihlghtlly* When, In 1911, he gave up his office after twenty-six years of splendid service, tha oolle.ge had twice outgrown its quarters, moving first from the Grand Pa.ra.de tc the "Forrest ^ 4 - Building", and then purchasing the forty aero property known as ��studley" vi.here the erection of the stately huildlngs of modern Dalhousie was begun in 1912. It wp.s about tMs time that the fourth and present President took 0"^fice. Dr.A, Ste.nley Mackenzie has devoted nineteen years of magnificent work to the development of the new Dalhousie, and the results of his labour and those of his assoclp.tas are ap- . - parent in the University cf to-day which takes its place in the first rank cf Canadian institutions of learning. The departments have grown to Include Arts and Science, Law, Medicine, Oommerce, Dentistry, Engineering, Pharmacy and Music. In 1927, Dalhousie established the first School o^^ Fisheries in Oanp^da. Tlie student body numbers nearly 1,000 and its meffrbers are drswn from all over r this continent and even further afield. Through the generosity of the Carnegie and Reck a feller foundations snd of many individual benefactors the endowm.ent has been greatly Increased. By the affiliation, in of and Dalhousie � 192?^, King's College University, the hopes of Lord Dalhousie were finally realized and the recent errection of the nsw King's building has added greatly to the Studley Opmpus.
