Dalhousie University is a public research university with three campuses in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, and a fourth, the Dalhousie Agricultural Campus, located in Truro, Nova Scotia, Canada. Dalhousie is one of Canada's oldest universities, founded during British colonial rule. The university is made up of four campuses constituting 32 hectares (79 acres) of the Halifax Peninsula and 61 hectares (150 acres) of Truro-Bible Hill. Dalhousie offers more than 3,700 courses and 190 degree programs, organized within the twelve undergraduate, graduate, and professional faculties and schools of the school. Dalhousie University was first established as a non-sectarian college in 1818 by the Lieutenant-Governor of Nova Scotia, George Ramsay, 9th Earl of Dalhousie, whom the university was named after. However, the college did not hold its first class until 1838, until then operating sporadically due to financial difficulties. It reopened for the third time in 1863 following a reorganization which also brought upon the school's first name change to "The Governors of Dalhousie College and University." In 1997, the Technical University of Nova Scotia was officially amalgamated with Dalhousie. The act which amalgamated the two schools also formally changed the name of the university to Dalhousie University. In 2012, Dalhousie announced a new Faculty of Agriculture, the result of a merger with the Nova Scotia Agricultural College. Dalhousie is a coeducational university, with more than 18,000 students and over 110,000 alumni. Dalhousie's varsity teams, known as the Tigers, compete in the Atlantic University Sport conference of Canadian Interuniversity Sport. Dalhousie’s Faculty of Agriculture varsity teams are referred to as the Dalhousie Rams, and compete in the ACAA, and as members of the CCAA.
History
The original Dalhousie College building shown that faced the Grand Parade in downtown Halifax.
Dalhousie was founded as a result of the desires of George Ramsay, 9th Earl of Dalhousie, the Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia, to establish a non-denominational college in Halifax. The financing of the college had largely come from customs duties collected by John Coape Sherbrooke, Lieutenant-Governor of Nova Scotia during the occupation of Castine, Maine during the War of 1812, who invested GBP£7000 as the initial endowment and reserved GBP£3000 for the physical construction of the college. The school was established in 1818, structured after the University of Edinburgh, which was located near Ramsay's home in Scotland. The college was allowed to falter however after Ramsay left Halifax shortly after its establishment to serve as the Governor General of British North America.
In 1821, Dalhousie College was officially incorporated by the Nova Scotia House of Assembly under the Act of Incorporation passed in 1821. The college however did not hold its first class until 1838, with the operation of the college itself being only intermittent and no degrees awarded at the college. In 1841 Dalhousie was conferred university powers by an Act of the Nova Scotia House of Assembly.
In 1863, the college reopened for its third time and was reorganized by another legislative act, which also added the word university into the school's name, changed to "The Governors of Dalhousie College and University." Dalhousie reopened with six professors and one tutor, and awarded its first degrees in 1866. The student body that year consisted of 28 students working toward degrees, in addition to 28 occasional students. Despite the reorganization, money continued to be a problem for the institution. In 1879, amid talks surrounding the closure of the university due to its dire financial situation, a wealthy New York publisher with Nova Scotia roots, George Munro, who was also the brother-in-law of Dalhousie's Board of Governors member John Forrest, began to donate to the university. Munro is thus credited with rescuing it from the brink of closure, and in honour of his contributions, Dalhousie observes a university holiday called George Munro Day each year on the first Friday of February. Originally located at the present location of Halifax City Hall, the college moved in 1886 to Carleton campus and spread gradually to occupy the Studley campus. The university continued to grow steadily during the 20th century. In 1889 the Halifax Conservatory became affiliated with Dalhousie, awarding degrees through the university. The conservatory would continue this affiliation until 1962. In 1920 the University of King's College in Windsor, Nova Scotia burned down. Through a grant from the Carnegie Foundation however, King's College was able to relocate to Halifax and entered into a partnership with Dalhousie University which continues to this day.
An agreement for Dalhousie to amalgamate with Technical University of Nova Scotia was made on 10 June 1996, with the act of amalgamation occurring 31 March 1997. The act that amalgamated the two schools also formally changed the name of the university from The Governors of Dalhousie College and University to Dalhousie University. On September 1, 2012, the Nova Scotia Agricultural College merged with Dalhousie University to become the Dalhousie University Faculty of Agriculture, at Dalhousie’s Agricultural Campus in Truro-Bible Hill, Nova Scotia, Canada.
History & Tradition
Inspiring minds for nearly two centuries
We're proud of our past and confident in our future. Founded in 1818, Dalhousie has been at the heart of Halifax for almost 200 years. With the addition of our Agricultural Campus in 2012, we're now also in the Town of Truro—known as the Hub of Nova Scotia.
Origins
In the early 19th century, George Ramsay, the ninth Earl of Dalhousie and Nova Scotia Lieutenant-Governor at the time, wanted to establish a Halifax college open to all, regardless of class or creed.
The spoils of war helped fulfill his dream. During the War of 1812, Castine, a small port in Maine, was being used as a base by American privateers who harassed ships along the eastern seaboard. Britain sent a Royal Navy force from Halifax to capture Castine and turn it into a customs port of entry. When the war ended, the navy returned to Halifax with the money it had collected as customs duties. Lord Dalhousie invested 7,000 pounds of this treasure as an endowment for the college and put aside 3,000 pounds for its construction. The earl modeled the fledgling college after the University of Edinburgh, near his Scottish home.

The earl modeled the fledgling college after the University of Edinburgh, near his Scottish home.
Early struggles
After the college was founded in 1818, Lord Dalhousie was appointed Governor General of Canada and left Halifax. Without his influence, the institution faltered. The first instruction was not offered until 1838. Its operation was only intermittent and degrees were not awarded for some time.
Nearly 50 years after its beginning, the college was reorganized. In 1863, Dalhousie opened with six professors and one tutor. The first degrees were awarded in 1866. The student body that year consisted of 28 students working for degrees and 28 occasional students.
Money continued to be a problem for the new institution. In 1879, it looked as though the university might fail until George Munro, a wealthy New York publisher with Nova Scotia roots, started donating to the university. Over the years, he contributed five endowed professorships and about $83,000 in bursaries and exhibitions. In 1999, the value of these gifts was estimated to be worth more than $8 million. For saving the university from closure, a special university holiday, George Munro Day, is observed the first Friday in February. Since his gift, a tradition of generosity, from donors large and small, has created the thriving university of today.
Making moves
The original site of the college was on the Grand Parade, in downtown Halifax where the City Hall stands. In 1886, the university moved to the Forrest Building on today’s Carleton campus and spread gradually to occupy the Studley campus.
In the 20th century, Dalhousie grew steadily. On April 1, 1997, Dalhousie amalgamated with the Technical University of Nova Scotia (TUNS), another Halifax-based university, strengthening the university's ability to explore new applied technologies. This included a newly-created Faculty of Computer Science. The name of the amalgamated institution continued as Dalhousie University.
The modern era
Dalhousie continues to grow. Construction crews have been a frequent sight at Studley campus. New facilities in recent years include the spacious Goldberg Computer Science Building, opened in 1999, the Marion McCain Arts and Social Science Building, opened in 2001, and the Kenneth C. Rowe Management Building, officially unveiled in 2005. The university's most recent addition is the Mona Campbell Building on Coburg Road, opened fall 2010. (The two other Halifax campuses, Carleton and Sexton, are located nearer the downtown core).
At convocation ceremonies in October 2006, Dalhousie surpassed 100,000 graduates. The milestone came 140 years after Dalhousie awarded its first two Bachelor of Arts degrees to Joseph Henry Chase and Robert Shaw in 1866. Margaret Florence Newcombe was the first woman to graduate, with a BA in 1885, and the first black law graduate, James Robinson Johnston, graduated in 1896.
On September 1, 2012, Dalhousie entered into another exciting era. The university amalgamated with the Nova Scotia Agricultural College (NSAC) in Truro—now the Faculty of Agriculture—welcoming faculty, staff and nearly 1,000 new students into the Dalhousie family.

Our logo
Dalhousie has used the eagle and shield, taken from the university’s seal, as the basis for its logo since 1987. The current incarnation was launched in 2003 and includes the university’s tagline, “Inspiring Minds.”
Our official colours
Dalhousie’s primary colours are black and gold, taken from the jerseys originally worn by Dalhousie’s rugby team. Other colours that complement the colour palette are specific shades of green and blue along with occasional accents of red.Our historical motto
"Ora et Labora" ("Pray and Work").The Dalhousie seal
The Dalhousie seal is based on the heraldic achievement – commonly called “Coat of Arms” – of the Ramsay family of Scotland. The Rt. Hon. George Ramsay, Lieutenant-Governor of Nova Scotia, founded Dalhousie University in 1818. Though the Ramsay seal features a griffon (half lion, half dragon) and greyhound, the Dalhousie seal instead has two dragons supporting the eagle-adorned shield. In 1950, the Dalhousie Board of Governors changed the colour of the shield from silver to gold to better match the university’s colours. The seal is displayed at convocation and can be seen engraved on the lobby floor in the Henry Hicks Academic and Administration Building.

Campus
Henry Hicks Academic Administration Building, the heart of Dalhousie University's Studley Campus
Dalhousie University's primary campuses are situated in the city of Halifax, Nova Scotia, spanning the Halifax Peninsula near Halifax Harbour, while the Dalhousie University Agricultural Campus is located in rural Truro-Bible Hill, Nova Scotia, Canada. The university is made up of four campuses, with Sexton and Carleton located near Downtown Halifax, while Studley is closer to the Northwest Arm. Studley campus, which currently houses the majority of Dalhousie's faculties, was originally designed by Andrew R. Cobb. Andrew R. Cobb designed the Science Building, 1913–15; MacDonald Memorial Library, 1914–15; Shirreff Hall Women's Residence, 1920; Arts Building, 1921–22; Medical Science Laboratory, 1921–22; Provincial Archives Building, 1929; Gymnasium Building, 1931. Andrew R. Cobb also designed University of King's College buildings including the main building and chapel, 1928; dormitory, 1931. Sexton campus currently houses Dalhousie's engineering, architecture and planning faculties. Carleton currently houses the university's medical and dentistry schools, as well as the Queen Elizabeth II Health Sciences Centre, while the Dalhousie Agricultural Campus hosts the Faculty of Agriculture. In total, the four campuses are 93 acres (38 ha).
Sustainability
The Office of Sustainability, created in 2008, is charged with creating campus solutions that support positive ecological, social health, and economic outcomes. These efforts are largely focused around policy and planning; communication and learning; and project development and management. The university is currently party to a number of environmental treaties. In 1999, the university had signed the Talloires Declaration, which committed Dalhousie, and other higher education institutions towards developing, creating, supporting and maintaining sustainability. In 2009, the university had also signed the University and College Presidents’ Climate Change Statement of Action for Canada, which commits the university to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. The university is also a signatory of the UNEP's International Declaration on Cleaner Production.
Several programs from the university placed in the 2011 Corporate Knights rankings, which measures how well Canadian universities integrate sustainability into their curriculum. Dalhousie's School of Business Administration was ranked seventh in Canada in the category of undergraduate business programs. The Corporate Knights also ranked the business school tenth in Canada for MBA program. The university's Faculty of Law was also ranked third in Canada in the category of law. The university campus received a B grade from the Sustainable Endowments Institute on its College Sustainability Report Card for 2011.
Administration
The governance of the university is conducted through the Board of Governors and the Senate, both of which were given much of their present powers in the Unofficial Consolidation of an Act for the Regulation and Support of Dalhousie College in Chapter 24 of the Acts of 1863. This statute replaced earlier statutes from 1820, 1823, 1838, 1841 and 1848 and has since been supplemented 11 times, with the latest supplement in 1995. The Board is responsible for the university's conduct, management, and control of the university and of its property, revenues, business, and affairs. Members of the board, known as Governors of the Board include the university's chancellor, president and 25 other members. Other members of the board include people from the university community such as four approved representatives from Dalhousie Student Union, as well as those in the larger surrounding community of Dalhousie, such as the Mayor of Halifax. The Senate is responsible for the university's academics, including standards for admission into the university and qualifications for degrees, diplomas, and certificates. The Senate consists of 73 positions granted to the various faculty representatives, academic administrators and student representatives. While there are 73 positions available within the Senate, one position is currently unoccupied. The president acts as the chief executive officer of the university responsible to the Board of Governors and to the Senate for the supervision of Dalhousie's administrative and academic works. Tom Traves is the 10th president of the university, serving the post since 1995. The office was first created in 1838, with Thomas McCulloch serving as the university's first president. John Forrest was the longest serving president of Dalhousie, holding the office from 1885 to 1911.

Marine research at Dalhousie has become a large focus of the university, with many of the university's faculty members involved in some form of marine research. Notably, Dalhousie is the headquarters of the Ocean Tracking Network, a research effort using implanted acoustic transmitters to study fish migration patterns. Dalhousie also houses a number of marine research pools, a wet laboratory and a benthic flume, which are collectively known as the Aquatron laboratory. Dalhousie is also one of the founding members of the Halifax Marine Research Institute, founded on 2 June 2011. The institute, which is a partnership between a number of private industries, government and post-secondary institutions, was designed to help increase the scale, quality, internationalization and impact of marine research in the region. In 2011, the university, along with WWF-Canada created the Conservation Legacy For Oceans, which aimed at providing scholarships, funding, curriculum development and work placements for students and academics dedicated to marine research, law, management and policy making.
Many of Dalhhousie's faculties and departments also focus on marine research. The Faculty of Engineering operates the Ocean Research Centre Atlantic, which is dedicated to carrying out research and tests in the areas of naval and off-shore engineering. Schulich School of Law also operates the Marine & Environmental Law Institute, which carries out research and conducts consultancy activities for governmental and non-governmental organizations. The school's Department of Political Science similarly operates the Centre for Foreign Policy Studies, which is primarily concerned with the fields of Canadian and American foreign, security and defence policy - including maritime security policy.
Dalhousie University also has a strong focus on agriculture, with the addition of the Faculty of Agriculture in September 2012. Currently, Dalhousie is the only university in Atlantic Canada that offers agricultural education and offers specialized training at the Technical, Technology, Bachelor, and Masters levels. Graduate degrees — Master of Science — are granted in Agricultural Chemistry, Animal Science, Environmental Studies, Plant Science, and Soil Science. The Faculty of Agriculture currently offers: Bachelor of Science in Agriculture (Animal Science); Bachelor of Science in Agriculture (Aquaculture); Bachelor of Science in Agriculture (Environmental Sciences); Bachelor of Science in Agriculture (Plant Science) and Masters in Science in Agriculture. A wide variety of technology programs are offered as well, including the Diploma in Business Management. This program offers concentrations in Farming, Dairy Farming, Equine, Companion Animal, as well as Greenhouse & Nursery, ultimately training students how to operate a business from both a financial perspective as well as teaching proper plant growing and animal husbandry techniques.

Insignias and other representations
Seal
The Dalhousie seal is based on the heraldic achievement of the Clan Ramsay of Scotland, largely because the founder of the university, the George Ramsay, 9th Earl of Dalhousie was the head of the clan. The heraldic achievement consists of five separate parts: shield, coronet, crest, supporters and motto. One major difference between the Ramsay's family coat of arms and the university seal, is that while the Ramsay seal features a griffin and greyhound, the Dalhousie seal instead has two dragons supporting the eagle-adorned shield. Initially, the Ramsay family coat of arms was used to identify Dalhousie but over time, the seal evolved with the number of amalgamations the university went through. The seal was originally the colour silver, however in 1950, the university's Board of Governors changed the colour to gold to better match the university's colours. The university's colours of gold and black were officially adopted in 1887, after the rugby team led the debate about the college colours for the football jerseys. The shield and eagle of Dalhousie's seal has been used as the logo of the university since 1987, with the present incarnation in use since 2003, which includes the tagline, "inspiring minds".
Motto and song
The current motto used by the university is Ora et Labora. The Latin motto is literally translated as "Pray and work" and has been in use since 1870. The university had adopted the motto from the Earl of Dalhousie in order to replace the university's original motto, as the original motto was viewed by the university administration to not convey confidence. The original motto of the university was "Forsan". This Latin motto is literally translated as Perhaps and first appeared in the first Dalhousie Gazette of 1869. It was chosen from Virgil's epic poem Aeneid, Book 1, line 203, Forsan et haec olim meminisse iuvabit. The Latin motto is literally translated as "Perhaps the time may come when these difficulties will be sweet to remember". A number of songs are commonly played and sung at various events such as commencement, convocation, and athletic contests, including the Carmina Dalhousiana, which was first created in Halifax in 1882. The Dalhousie University songbook was compiled by Charles B. Weikel in 1904.
