Each of the new universities had its own mandate. As articulated by Murray Ross, its founding president, that of York University was to provide an interdisciplinary education that would contribute to students' personal development, and understanding of the Canadian political system and world in which they lived. This article focuses on the first students to earn a York degree through Glendon College and the extent to which their university experiences and outcomes were consistent with the objectives identified by Ross. An examination of information collected on students at Glendon in the 1960s shows that by and large their reported experiences and outcomes were in keeping with Ross's ideals; however, by the time they graduated, the mandate of the university and college had changed. While liberal arts continued to be important, the main mandate of the college became that of providing a bilingual education. En Ontario, dans les années 1960, plusieurs nouvelles universités ont été fondées; les étudiants se sont rués vers les établissements postsecondaires en nombre record; et l'inscription dans les programmes d'arts et science a atteint son plus haut niveau depuis la fin de la Deuxième Guerre mondiale. Chacune des nouvelles universités avait son propre mandat. Comme l'expliquait Murray Ross, son président fondateur, celui de l'Université de York était de fournir un enseignement interdisciplinaire qui contribuerait au développement personnel des étudiants et à la compréhension du système politique canadien et du monde dans lequel ils vivent. Cet article met l'accent sur les premiers étudiants à obtenir un diplôme de l'Université de York, au collège Glendon, et la manière dont leurs expériences et résultats universitaires correspondaient aux objectifs identifiés par Ross. Un examen des renseignements recueillis sur les étudiants inscrits au Glendon dans les années 1960 démontre que, en général, ces étudiants ont rapporté que leurs expériences et résultats correspondaient aux idéaux de Ross; par contre, lorsqu'ils ont reçu leur diplôme, le mandat de l'université et du collège avait changé. Alors que les arts libéraux continuaient d'être importants, le mandat principal du collège était devenu l'offre d'une éducation bilingue. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Journal of Canadian Studies is the property of University of Toronto Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
