Ryerson University - A Unicorn Among Horses

The narrative highlights the significant contributions of Egerton Ryerson, a pivotal figure in Canadian education, who established Ontario's school system at St. James Square in 1850. Beyond being the site of his ministry, the Square became a hub for cultural and educational innovation, leading to the creation of a provincial museum, art gallery, art school, model school, and teacher's college, profoundly transforming Toronto's landscape and educational framework.
