Obviously a lot has changed over the last 188 years, but in some ways, U of T has stayed exactly the same over to this day. One of my favourite things about U of T is thinking about how many generations of students have walked the same halls that we walk today. My first post<\/a> on this blog was my way of looking back at U of T using pictures from U of T's archives<\/a>, and in honour of U of T's birthday I've created a few more pictures showing U of T in the past versus how it looks today!\r\n\r\n

First up: Innis College in 1980 featuring some very retro cars. If someone would like to gift me that fabulous orange bug I would not complain. (Source<\/a>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\n
\"a<\/a>
Nursing students in 1920\/1921\u00a0on the steps of UC. (source<\/a>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\n
\"students<\/a>
Some hip students hanging in the UC Quad back in 1968. (source<\/a>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\n
\"a<\/a>
oh no big deal, just a tank (!!) on the lawn of UC in 1950. (source<\/a>) Here's<\/a> another tank in 1948.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\n
\"a<\/a>
This picture of an intramural men's soccer game in 1951 could have been taken last fall if it weren't for the old cars in the background (or the length of the shorts). (source<\/a>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\n
\"a<\/a>
Seems that Lash Miller has gotten an addition since 1963. (source<\/a>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\n
\"a<\/a>
This shows a faculty of medicine float passing in front of Knox college in 1941. (source<\/a>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n

(In putting together this post I really wanted to use this picture of students playing chess in Hart House<\/a> but I could not find this spot. If anyone knows where these windows are let me know in the comments below!)<\/p>\r\n

bonus fun (because what's a party without games?): In honour of the University's birthday, U of T Magazine put together a quiz<\/a> to test your U of T knowledge! I thought I knew a lot about U of T but I failed miserably at it. See if you can beat my abysmal score of 44%!<\/p>\r\nparty on U of T, party on\"an<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
