TRENT UNIVERSITY
In 1957 public-spirited residents of Peterborough formed a
Citizens' Committee to examine the possibility of creating a
University to serve the Trent Valley. By letters patent of
August 9, 1960, this committee became Trent College Limited
and in the following year, a group of academic advisers
under the chairmanship of President-designate T. H. B.
Symons, organized the university's Academic Planning
Committee. A provincial charter of 1963 established Trent as
a degree granting university which admitted its first
students in September, 1964. That year the renovation of
Rubige Hall and the creation of Robinson and Traill Colleges
gave Trent a downtown campus. The opening of Champlain
College (1967) and Lady Eaton College (1968) marked the
beginning of the main campus.
