Summary "McGill and its Story, 1821-1921" by Cyrus MacMillan is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the century-long journey of McGill University, from its founding to its establishment as a vital educational institution in Canada. It delves into the struggles, controversies, and triumphs experienced by the university and its founders, particularly focusing on the vision of James McGill and the circumstances surrounding the creation of McGill College. The opening of the work sets the stage for this exploration, emphasizing the difficulties faced in establishing McGill University during a time of significant political and social upheaval in Canada. It reflects on the early education landscape in Lower Canada and highlights the efforts made by McGill and others to advocate for improved educational opportunities. The introductory sections pay homage to the founding figures, particularly McGill himself, and outline the broader historical and educational context leading up to the university's formation. This narrative serves not only as a record of an educational institution's evolution but also as a tribute to those who contributed to the advancement of education in the region.
