Lets see...

University of Toronto
Basic stuff
* Founded in 1827
* 65,000 students
* Organized on the British College System (think Oxford or Cambridge - but newer)

Interesting Stuff
* originially no ban, but quota, for "minorities" applying to school
* Ontario legislator (Queen's Park) rents their property and build from UofT for $1 a year
* the student building - Hart House (the star of such great films as Black Christmas) was built in 1911.. finished in 1919... and was opened to women in 1972 - before then clothes were optional for men on the lower athletic levels... it also has a still operational archery and rifle range in the sub-basement.
* Burwash Hall (a residence) at Victoria College (star of PCU) up until 2 years ago used to include 1 keg party a month as party of the student life program - oh and their initiation ritual might be banned (stared in McDonalds commerical with 7 guys chained together)...
* most colleges were founded on denomonational principles.. so St. Michaels - Catholic; Trinity - Anglican, Knox - Presbyterian; Victoria - Methodist; Emmanuel - United... except for University College which was non-denominational.... of course newer colleges have been added on like New, Innis, Woodsworth
