Imagine the history of the University of Victoria, Victoria College and the Provincial Normal School as volumes of stories and photos assembled, row after row.
Here are selections from that vast collection,
stories that bring you a little closer to people
behind the history. We offer four perspectives:
through the experiences of a great scholar and
builder of the university, through the memories
of the pioneering students of the teaching college,
through a scientist's investigations that made
the world take notice, and through the words
of someone whose world was changed not only by
her classes but also by the social interaction
of a thriving campus. Hey, she met her husband
here.
It's the former college's 100th anniversary and
the completion of the university's first four decades
of learning, thought, discovery and creativity.
These stories are for the thousands that have studied,
taught and worked to establish higher learning
in Victoria.
