Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Documentary History of Education in Upper Canada, Vol. 4: From the Passing of the Constitutional Act of 1791 to the Close of the Reverend Doctor Ryerson´s Administration of the Education Department in 1876; 1841-1843 This Fourth Volume contains a record of several memorable events in the history of Education in Upper Canada. Not the least notable of these events was the issue of a Royal Charter to the University of Queen´s College, Kingston, and the passage of its equivalent, in the shape of an Act of Incorporation of the University of Victoria College, Cobourg. Still more notable in the educational history of those times was the fact, that, in the years 1841, 1842 and 1843, three Universities in Upper Canada opened their doors for the admission and education of Students in the various branches, or departments, of Literature and Science. These three Universities were opened at the following dates: - 1. Victoria College was informally opened, as a Preparatory College, by the Reverend Doctor Egerton Ryerson, its President, on the 21st of October, 1841. It was fully and formally opened by Doctor Ryerson as a University College on the 21st of June, 1842. 2. Queen´s College was opened as a University College by the Very Reverend Doctor Thomas Liddell, its President, on the 7th of March, 1842. 3. King´s College was opened as a University by the Right Reverend Doctor John Strachan, its President, on the 8th of June, 1843. The Corner Stone of the New Building for the College was laid with appropriate ceremonies and addresses on the 23rd of April, 1842, by His Excellency Sir Charles Bagot, Chancellor of the University. In connection with these interesting historical events, there are published in this Volume, two very important and elaborate papers by the Right Reverend Doctor Strachan, President of the University of King´s College. The first of these documents is Doctor Strachan´s appeal, (written early in 1842, and not before published,) to Sir Charles Bagot, Chancellor of the University, in which he surveyed the stormy past of the University, and strongly urged the Governor General to take steps to authorize the Council of King´s College to erect the University Buildings.
