This country fascinates me. Everything is new; the people young, and the conviction grows that great things are bound to happen in this rich new country. Henry Marshall Tory undoubtedly included the creation of the University of Alberta among these "great things". First-person stories and period photographs present a unique insight into university lore from the vantage point of those who were most intimately involved in making the university what it is today: the students and alumni.
