Sit back, open this book to any page, and delve into the University of Alberta’s history.You will be fascinated by Dennis Weber’s remade maps, and Ellen Schoeck’s succinct recounting of the history of Alberta’s first university. Aerial photographs from Planning and Infrastructure, the University of Alberta Archives, Creative Services, and private collections round out Dennis Weber’s maps, and many other images tell the story of a major North American university that was hewed out of a brush-covered farm on the banks of the North Saskatchewan River. And there are stories from alumni, staff and administrators about the life they lived on this campus and in its buildings, from Bill Kent’s recounting of President Tory’s address to freshmen, to John Schlosser’s story of how the Butterdome got its colour.Enjoy our University’s history in words, images and maps as we celebrate 100 years.
