Today, it has become a degree-granting university with over 10,000 students in credit programs and some 40,000 more in continuing education courses. A former president of Mount Royal, Baker brings to this project his skills and insight as both historian and veteran administrator, examining the challenging process of inserting new degree programs and universities into the framework of academic credibility in Canada and continually adapting to a changing social, economic, and political environment. Catch the Gleam: Mount Royal, From College to University, 1910-2009 draws on an impressive body of archival sources, oral histories, and interviews as well as sound and current scholarship on the history and theory of post-secondary education. 606 $aEducation, Higher$xHistory 615 0$aEducation, Higher$xHistory. 676 $a378.009 700 $aBaker$b Donald N.$01357274 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910676673703321 996 $aCatch the Gleam Mount Royal, From College to University, 1910-2009$93362954 997 $aUNINA
