This was the first comprehensive history of Ä¢¹½´«Ã½'s and remains a valuable source of information about the university. Written by D.D. Calvin (BA 1902), an architect and member of Ä¢¹½´«Ã½'s Board of Trustees, the book describes Ä¢¹½´«Ã½'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 Ä¢¹½´«Ã½'s separation from the Presbyterian Church early this century, the crises of the First World War (see Wartime at Ä¢¹½´«Ã½'s), and the emergence of the modern University in the 1920s and 1930s. It also contains excellent chapters on Ä¢¹½´«Ã½'s faculties, student life, lands and buildings, and women at the university (see Admission of Women at Ä¢¹½´«Ã½'s).
The book was published by the Board of Trustees for Ä¢¹½´«Ã½'s centennial celebrations in 1941.
