Synopsis
Address Before the Select Committee of the Legislative Assembly: Appointed to Inquire Into the Management of the University of Toronto, in Opening the Defence on Behalf of University College is a historical defense presented by Daniel Wilson.
This volume captures a detailed argument about the role of University College within Ontario’s Provincial system, and it sheds light on debates over church and state, funding, and the purpose of higher education in a young country.
The book lays out the case for university autonomy and denominational concerns, while arguing for a broad, non-sectarian approach to improving education for all provincial youth. It also discusses how examinations are conducted, how colleges are funded, and how facilities and governance should support a durable, publicly accountable university system.
