Fact About Université de Montréal
- Historical Roots: The Université de Montréal was originally a branch of Université Laval in Quebec City, founded in 1878, and was known as the Université Laval à Montréal.
- Vatican Influence: The university gained administrative autonomy from the Vatican in 1889, allowing it to choose its professors and issue its diplomas. Full autonomy was granted by a papal charter in 1919 from Pope Benedict XV.
- First Provincial Charter: Université de Montréal received its first provincial charter on Valentine’s Day, February 14, 1920, marking a significant milestone in its history.
- Initial Faculties: At its inception, the university admitted fewer than a hundred students into its three initial faculties: Theology, Law, and Medicine, all located in Old Montreal.
- Historic Locations: The Faculty of Theology was housed at the Grand séminaire de Montréal, the Faculty of Law at the Society of Saint-Sulpice, and the Faculty of Medicine at the historic Château Ramezay.
- Pioneering Graduate Education: The university introduced graduate training based on German-inspired American models, which included specialized coursework and the completion of a research thesis, setting a new standard for higher education in Québec.
- Preparatory School: To align the educational level of its students, the university opened a preparatory school in 1887 called the “Faculty of Arts,” which functioned until 1972 and was a precursor to Québec’s current CEGEP system.
- Catholic Independence: After gaining full autonomy, the university adopted its current name, Université de Montréal, and became an independent Catholic university.
- Early Foundations: Some of the university’s educational facilities date back to earlier establishments, like the Faculty of Medicine, which originated as the Montreal School of Medicine and Surgery in 1843.
