Trinity College has a truly unique history. Founded by Johannes Strachan, it's object was to produce men of sound learning and moral who in afterlife will do honor to professions and their society. It was intended as a college of strong Anglican alignment after the University of Toronto suffered its ties with the church of England. Reflecting its English Traditions the college emulates Oxbridge traditions.

One of the founding colleges of the University of Toronto, Trinity College was modelled on the medieval Oxbridge colleges in England. Despite the old Gothic buildings, the college has a lively and youthful atmosphere. Outside term time, it is a popular among school kids to take part in induction programmes and residential trips. The campus is currently closed to visitors but when it is re-opened, make sure you go and spend time to admire the Strachan Hall (dining hall), Seeley Hall, the Archives, the Chapel, and Trinity College Residence to feel how lucky the students there.

Back for another visit today January 27.2021 during our pandemic and took in some more of the sights and heritage buildings. I walked through the area at dusk and captured some images after dark. Love all the pathways and historical buildings. Amazing views from all angles and will be back for more photography again.

The University of Trinity College, known simply as Trinity College, is a college federated to the University of Toronto, founded in 1851 by Bishop John Strachan. Trinity was intended by Strachan as a college of strong Anglican alignment, after the University of Toronto severed its ties with the Church of England. In 1904, Trinity joined the university as a member of its collegiate federation. Trinity College consists of a secular undergraduate section and a postgraduate divinity school that is part of the Toronto School of Theology. Through its diploma granting authority in the field of Divinity, Trinity maintains official university status. Reflecting its English heritage, the college emulates Oxbridge traditions such as the wearing of gowns at dinner, a chapel choir that includes choral scholars, and college scarves and blazers.

Trinity College in Toronto, Ontario, is one of the smallest and most prestigious colleges on the St. George Campus of the University of Toronto. The College has over 1,800 undergraduate students who are enrolled in the university's Faculty of Arts and Science, and about 140 students in Trinity's Faculty of Divinity, Canada's oldest Anglican theological school. Since its founding in 1851 the College has valued and fostered a high level of academic achievement.

I love going to the Annual Trinity College Book Sale. Every time I come to it I am blown away by how beautiful this campus is. The building looks straight out of Hogwarts. It's beautiful. Do people get married here? They should, it's so pretty. I would like to find other reasons to visit this building.

Trinity College (occasionally referred to as The University of Trinity College) is a college federated with the University of Toronto, founded in 1851 by Bishop John Strachan. Strachan originally intended Trinity as a university of strong Anglican alignment, after the University of Toronto severed its ties with the Church of England. After five decades as an independent institution, Trinity joined the University in 1904 as a member of its collegiate federation. Today, Trinity College consists of a secular undergraduate section and a postgraduate divinity school which is part of the Toronto School of Theology. Through its diploma granting authority in the field of divinity, Trinity maintains legal university status. Trinity hosts three of the University of Toronto Faculty of Arts and Sciences' undergraduate programs: international relations; ethics, society and law; and immunology. More than half of Trinity students graduate from the University of Toronto with distinction or high distinction. The college has produced an unusually high number of Rhodes Scholars for an institution of its size, being 43 as of 2020. Among the college's more notable collections are a seventeenth-century Flemish tapestry, two first-edition theses by Martin Luther, numerous original, signed works by Winston Churchill, a 1491 edition of Dante's Divine Comedy censored by the Spanish Inquisition, and Bishop Strachan's silver epergne. Among the University of Toronto Colleges, Trinity is notable for being the smallest by population, and for its trappings of Oxbridge heritage; the college hosts weekly formal dinners, maintains the tradition of academic gowns, manages its student government through direct democracy, and hosts a litany of clubs and societies. Trinity College suffered from a spate of negative media stories across the 1990s. In 1991 students began campaigning against Episkopon, a long-standing Trinity student society. Episkopon was founded in 1858 with the objective of providing "gentle chastisement" to errant members of College. By the 1980s, some students began accusing the society of singling out students for racist, sexist, and homophobic attacks. This campaign attracted considerable press, and a statement of support from Marion Boyd, Ontario's Minister for the Status of Women. In fall 1991, an outspoken student critic of Episkopon was doused in a bucket of urine and feces in what was reported as an act of retribution. In 1992, the College Council voted to dissociate Trinity from Episkopon, denying it student funds, official status, and the use of College property. In 1996, Trinity's Dean of Divinity David Holeton resigned his position after admitting to multiple claims of sexual abuse. Three years later, newspapers reported that Episkopon had returned to holding events, now simply off Trinity grounds. The turn of the century brought substantial changes to Trinity College. In 2005, Provost Margaret MacMillan - famed historian and herself a Trinity graduate - ended the practice of gender-segregated residences. Whereas previously all women lived in St. Hilda's College and all men in the main Trinity building, under MacMillan co-education came to both buildings, with individual floors being designated single-sex. The Chancellor is the ceremonial head of the Trinity College. They chair meetings of the corporation, and hands out degrees at the Divinity Convocation. The Chancellor is elected by Corporation for five year terms, may be re-elected without restriction, and must be a member of the Anglican Church of Canada. The Provost is the day-to-day chief executive of the college, and serves as Vice Chancellor. The Provost serves for five year terms, and may be re-elected once. The Provost lives in College in a designated "Provost's Lodge."

The College is a shell of itself, and that is truly sad. It was a prestigious and renowned institution that found people with amazing talent and provided them with academic tools and life skills to be leaders in the world in any field of their choosing. No institution is perfect, every academic space has its flaws, but the College always had integrity as it anchor and rigor as it compass. Those values are absent now. Today the College is just a safe haven for Mayo Moran and her pursuit "Karynhood". Maybe it will get back to being what it was when she departs. At least the Quad is still pretty!
