A Day in the Life of St. Dunstan's University

Description
What follows is an excerpt from a
book-in-progress. Its subject is
St. Dunstan's University, for 114 years
the centre of Roman Catholic higher
education on Prince Edward Island.
The school was founded in 1855 on a
small hill just outside Charlottetown,
the colonial capital. Its purpose was
both narrow and broad: to educate prospective
priests for a priest-poor diocese,
and to impart a Catholic education
to those who could somehow afford
it. Despite a poverty of resources, both
human and material, St. Dunstan's
developed and refined that mission
over eleven difficult decades.
