A History of the University of Trinity College 1852-1952

It is a far cry from the opining of Trinity College a century ago, when a little band of twenty-one young men crossed the threshold for the first time, to this cetenerary year with its enrolment of 549 men and women.

The Founder of Trinity College and those associated with him had ideals of education of which it is well to be reminded from time to time, and to recall how their successors sought to maintain those ideals throughout the changing conditions of later days.

These pages endeavour to tell the story, so that with thanksgiving for the past and pride in the present the College may go forward with courage into its second century.
