Why go to university, and why the U of A? Who was Henry Marshall Tory? Elizabeth Sterling Haynes? What ere the radical 1960s like, and what was student life like in the 1990s?

Aerial photographs and private collections round out Dennis Weber's maps. Many images tell the story of a major North American university that was hewed out of a brush-covered farm on the banks of the North Saskatchewan River.
