Causes 

In the mid nineteenth century, George Ramsay, the ninth Earl of Dalhousie and Nova Scotia Lieutenant-Governor at the time, needed to build up a Halifax school open to all, paying little respect to class or belief. 

The riches of war satisfied his fantasy. Amid the War of 1812, Castine, a little port in Maine, was being utilized as a base by American privateers who irritated boats along the Eastern Seaboard. England sent a Royal Navy power from Halifax to catch Castine and transform it into a traditions port of passage. At the point when the war finished, the naval force came back to Halifax with the cash it had gathered as traditions obligations. Ruler Dalhousie contributed 7,000 pounds of this fortune as a gift for the school and set aside 3,000 pounds for its development. The earl displayed the youngster school after the University of Edinburgh, close to his Scottish home. 

Early battles 

After the school was established in 1818, Lord Dalhousie was named Governor General of Canada and left Halifax. Without his impact, the organization vacillated. The main direction was not offered until 1838. Its operation was just discontinuous and degrees were not honored for quite a while.

Throughout the years, he contributed five invested residencies and about $83,000 in bursaries and presentations. In 1999, the estimation of these endowments was assessed to be worth more than $8 million. For sparing the college from conclusion, an exceptional college occasion, George Munro Day, is watched the primary Friday in February.
