Ontario Agricultural College

The Ontario Agricultural College (OAC) began in 1873 as an associate agricultural college of the University of Toronto. Its first building was Moreton Lodge, located where Johnston Hall now stands, which included classrooms, residences, a library, and a dining room. (Several buildings constructed during this time period are still a part of campus life today, including President's Residence, Raithby House, and Day Hall.)
