Queen's University

In this account of the first seventy-six years of Queen's University at Kingston, Hilda Neatby traces the development of Queen's from its inauspicious beginnings as a struggling Presbyterian "Bible college" to the period when the university had become a permanent national institution. The story is one of early setbacks, resulting from financial crises, divisions within the Presbyterian Church, and internal conflict, followed by periods of recovery in which Queen's College (as it was then known) demonstrated a remarkable vitality and will to survive. Not until the principalship (1877-1902) of George Monro Grant, the passionate advocate of a "national outreach" for Queen's, did the college achieve the position it has since held as one of Canada's major universities.
