At the turn of the century Protestantism permeated the cultural fabric of English-Canadian society. By 1970, however, universities were primarily secular. Was this change the result of the changing nature of Protestantism at the turn of the century or forces external to it? By examining the role Protestantism played on university campuses from 1920 to 1970, Catherine Gidney furthers the debate over the nature and process of secularization in English Canada.
"'A distinguished and revealing study that adds immensely to our understanding of twentieth-century higher education in Canada. It is a nuanced and non-partisan analysis that contributes impressively to the ongoing debate about the connection between religion and English Canadian higher education. With this book, Gidney continues her pioneering work on the politics and culture of student life in the 1960s." Paul Axelrod, Faculty of Education, York University"
