        History

        The History Department at Trent University established itself when the University was first opened. It began offering courses in History during the University's first academic year (1964/1965). The faculty was comprised of Thomas H.B. Symons, who was also the President and Vice-Chancellor of the University, and J.D.P. Martin, who was also the University Librarian. By the following academic year, the number of faculty had tripled. Over the years, the department has grown steadily. In 1995 the History Department had 26 faculty members, which included two Professors Emeriti, and offered 61 courses. As well, a graduate level history program was added in 1971.
