Founded by Reverend Edmund Burke, in 1802 it is the oldest English-speaking, Roman Catholic initiated university in Canada. In 1841, the Nova Scotia House of Assembly formally gave the university its formal recognition as an academic institute. Eleven years later, complete legal status to give out degrees was given to the University. In 1913 the Christian Brothers of Ireland were asked by the Archdiocese to direct the college and did so until 1940, when they handed over the duties to the Upper Province Society of Jesus (Jesuits). The Jesuits directed the college for 30 years until 1970, when the university was incorporated with a Board of Governors and a Senate. The university is now quite secular, for example the old Church now serving as an auditorium for classes and home to the University Servers.
