School origin

George Ramsey, the 9th Earl of Dalhousie, Governor of Nova Scotia and Governor of British North America [20]
In the early 19th century, Nova Scotia Governor of Canada And the ninth generation The Earl of Dalhousie (9th Earl of Dalhousie) George Ramsay, dissatisfied with the phenomenon that most other universities recruited students according to religious sects in the same period, proposed Halifax Set up a school in the city that is open to all scholars regardless of class or belief Higher education institutions He refers to University of Edinburgh The principle of running a school (due to University of Edinburgh Located in George Ramsay's Scotland Near their home), the course is open to all students, regardless of their nationality and whether they are Christian Most of the funds for the establishment of the school came from the previous term Nova Scotia Governor of Canada John Coape Sherbrooke. In the War of 1812 The Second American War of Independence )Period, Maine A small port of Castine Armed civilian ship Organizations are used as bases. They are in North America East Coast Disturbance of ships along the line. therefore britain Sent one Royal Navy Power from Halifax Go to Castin, occupy and transform it into a customs Entry port After the war, Royal Navy Return with the money collected from customs revenue Halifax George Ramsay invested about 7000 pounds as the initial fund for the establishment of the school and reserved 3000 pounds for the hardware construction of the school. In 2016, Delhous University commissioned an academic report to explore The Earl of Dalhousie And slavery and Racism The entanglement between systems. The investigation results show that some tariffs collected from Castin are Caribbean Region They were collected by traders who traded goods produced by slaves. [16]

Initial dilemma

After founding Dalhousie College in 1818, George Ramsey was appointed Governor General of British North America and left Halifax In the first few years, the college encountered difficulties. It was not until 1838 that classes began. During this period, its operation was interrupted, and no degree was awarded for a period of time. Nearly 50 years after its establishment, the college was reorganized. In 1863, the school first added“ university ”The Governors of Dalhousie College and University started with six professors and one assistant. In 1866, Dalhousie awarded the first batch of degrees, respectively, Joseph Henry Chase and Robert Shaw, Bachelor of Arts. The number of students in that year included 28 degree students and 28 temporary students. Margaret Florence Newcombe was the first woman to obtain a degree. She received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1885, and the first black law graduate, James Robinson Johnston, graduated in 1896. For this new organization, funding has always been a problem. By 1879, the university seemed likely to face failure until George Munro, a man born in Nova Scotia Of New York Rich publishers began to donate to universities. Over the years, he has contributed five professorships and about $83000 in scholarships and exhibits (equivalent to more than $15 million in current monetary values). The school sets up George Munro Day on the first Friday of February every year to thank him for saving the university from bankruptcy. In the nearly 150 years since George Munro donated his first gift, the tradition of generous donations from large and small donors has helped create this thriving university. [16]
George Munro, whose donation saved Dalhousie from bankruptcy in the 1870s. [28]

Take action

The former site of Dalhousie Governor's College is now Halifax The central square where the city hall is located. In 1886, the school moved to Forrest Building, which is now Carleton Campus, and gradually expanded out of Studley Campus. During the 20th century, schools developed steadily.

On April 1, 1997, Delhous and another Halifax The merger of Technical University of Nova Scotia has strengthened the university's ability to explore new applied technologies. The merger includes the newly established College of Computer Science. The name of the merged school was officially changed to Dalhousie University. Fifteen years later, Dalhousie University and Nova Scotia Nova Scotia Agricultural College in Truro was merged, and the latter became the Agricultural College of Delhous University. Its staff and nearly 1000 students joined the Delhous family. [16]
