As One Who Serves : The Making of the University of Regina

Regina College, which was established by the Methodist Church in 1911, became the University of Regina in 1974. Formed amid the social movements and transformations of the sixties, the new campus grappled with questions about the nature of a liberal education, the balance between research and teaching, and whether the university's role was to criticize the status quo or to support it. James Pitsula shows that the University of Regina was a distinctive expression of the prairie tradition of pragmatic idealism.
