College by the Sea: Hidden History of Dalhousie University
Advertisement
Since 1818, Dalhousie University has been a pillar of Halifax's identity. In its 200 years it has seen fire, scandal, religious bigotry, American billionaires, gunpoint resignations, British aristocrats, backroom scheming, and unfortunate accidents shape its history. Join Colin Mitchell, historian and proud Nova Scotian, as he takes you through the depths of Dalhousie's history and its transformation from a little College By the Sea to a leading national research university.
Walk Lead: Colin Mitchell-Crouse
Starting location: Dalhousie University, in front of the Henry Hicks Building
End location: Dalhousie University, in front of the Henry Hicks Building
Duration: 1 hour
