Ã山ǿ¼é

How many Ã山ǿ¼é alumni have won the Nobel Prize? Which well-known writer attended Ã山ǿ¼é's School of Aeronautics way back in 1918? And who's the celebrity featured in a parody Ã山ǿ¼é Scarborough Instagram account?

In honour of the university's 190th birthday today, Ã山ǿ¼é Magazine has put together a quiz to test your knowledge of all things Ã山ǿ¼é. It's the kind of stuff you really ought to know. 

If you've come to campus in blue, white, or spirit gear,  to share how they're celebrating using the hashtag,  for a chance to win prizes. 

The university was founded by charter in 1827 as King's College, the first institution of higher learning in the colony of Upper Canada. Initially controlled by the Church of England, it took on the present name in 1850 upon becoming a secular institution.

Today 190 years later, Ã山ǿ¼é has 12 distinct colleges, two satellite locations in Scarborough and Mississauga, more than 86,700 students and 14,000 faculty members, and it is considered a global leader in research and teaching. Recent surveys have shown Ã山ǿ¼é ranks among the top 10 in the world for student employability and ranked top 10 internationally by QS World University Rankings in six subjects.
