Book Synopsis

This two-volume work examines the history of Mount Allison University and its antecedent secondary schools from the earliest years to 1963. Mount Allison’s evolution is considered not only for its own internal dynamics but also in the context of the social, economic, and intellectual history of Canada’s Maritime provinces.

Volume 1 covers the years up until the beginning of the First World War. The Mount Alliance Wesleyan Academy for boys was opened in Sackville, News Brunswick, in 1843, four years after its foundation had been proposed by the local merchant Charles Frederick Allison.  Although it was a Methodist institution, its students came from several religious denominations. In 1854, a branch academy for female students was opened, and eight years later the degree-granting college that ultimately became known as Mount Allison University.

Although the college remained for many years the smallest of the three institutions in terms of student number
