Victoria University, Toronto
Victoria University is a federated university forming part of the wider University of Toronto, and was founded in 1836. The undergraduate section of the university is Victoria College, informally Vic, after the original name of the university; this is the name by which the university is most often called. Since 1928, Victoria College has retained secular studies in the liberal arts and sciences, through affiliation with the University of Toronto's Faculty of Arts and Science. Emmanuel College functions as its postgraduate theological college, and is affiliated with the United Church of Canada and the Toronto School of Theology. Victoria operated as an independent institution until its federation with the University of Toronto in 1890, relocating from Cobourg to Toronto. Victoria is situated in the northeastern part of the wider university campus, adjacent to St. Michael's College and Queen's Park, and among its residential halls is Annesley Hall, a National Historic Site of Canada. A major centre for Reformation and Renaissance studies, the university is home to international scholarly projects and holdings devoted to pre-Puritan English drama and the works of Desiderius Erasmus.
