Title
McGill University and Quebec City in the 1960s
Abstract
In Canada and throughout the Western world, the 1960s was a tumultuous decade of student unrest and social/political upheaval. For Quebec, the 1960s was also the decade of la Revolution tranquille/Quiet Revolution, when the province's Francophone society's self-definition underwent fundamental change. The author argues that for McGill University, the decade's changing environment required enormous adaptation: maintaining and extending academic programs and standards, restructuring governance and administration, expanding the physical plant, accommodating growing enrolment, seeking adequate funding, and adjusting to Quebec's changing reality. The author points out that a wide range of primary and secondary sources is available in recounting the story of McGill's role in Quebec during the 1960s.
