Excerpt from A Brief History of Dalhousie University and a Short Story of the Centennial Celebration of the Little College, September, 1919The spirit of unity was an early characteristic of the college and repeated efforts were made looking towards union with King's College, which antedated Dalhousie, but to no avail. These efforts covered the period from 1822-24 and from 1829-36. Despairing of any united action, Dalhousie went into Operation in 1838 with the Rev. Thomas Mcculloch, D.D., as President. For so many years the church had the monopoly of education that it was scarcely thought at one time that education, could be education unless under the guidance of the Clergy. Although. Denominational Colleges are still numerous in Canada, it is no longer necessary to be a clergyman to be a leader in the educational world. Scholarship is found now without, as well as within, the limits of the Church another mark of progress.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
