EspañolONTARIO AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE
The Ontario Agricultural College (OAC) began in 1874 as an associate agricultural college of the University of Toronto. Its first building was Moreton Lodge, located where Johnston Hall now stands, which included classrooms, residences, a library, and a dining room. (Several buildings constructed during this time period are still a part of campus life today, including President's Residence, Raithby House, and Day Hall.)
Subsequently, the 'Ontario Agricultural College' (OAC) became one of three founding colleges of the University of Guelph in 1964. (The other two were the Ontario Veterinary College and the Macdonald Institute.)
The OAC offers a wide range of agriculture-related degree programs, including widely respected programs in Landscape Architecture, Science in Agriculture and Food Science. Both undergraduate B.Sc.(Agr) degree programs and graduate degree programs are available.
The OAC opened on May 1, 1874 with an enrollment of 28 students. The OAC administration was housed in Moreton Lodge until 1931, when the building was torn down to make way for Johnston Hall. The OAC's offices have resided in Johnston Hall ever since. The Canadian-American economist John Kenneth Galbraith earned a bachelor's degree in animal husbandry from the College.
The curriculum has went through numerous overhauls over the years:
=Milestones=
★ 1877 - one-year diploma program expanded to two years
★ 1887 - B.Sc.(Agr) degree program begins (University of Toronto awards the degrees from 1888 until 1964).
