Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book, written by the college's commissioner, tells the history of King's College, Windsor, and the proposed union with Dalhousie College in Halifax. The author traces the college's founding in 1788 as an academy and its development into a university in 1802. The narrative highlights the challenges faced by the college, including the debate over religious restrictions on admission and the lack of qualified faculty. Despite these obstacles, King's College established itself as a significant educational institution in Nova Scotia. The book also delves into the efforts to merge King's College with Dalhousie College, established in 1823 with the support of Lord Dalhousie. The union, intended to strengthen both institutions, encountered difficulties and ultimately failed. This book provides valuable insights into the history of higher education in Nova Scotia and the challenges faced by early institutions in a developing colony.
