TIL Dalhousie University was established in 1818 but due to constant budget issues didn't hold the first class until 1838. Classes were then sporadic and no degrees were given out until the first graduating class in 1866. en.wikipedia.org Submitted by jamescookenotthatone t3_z1rmxh on November 22, 2022 at 11:51 AM in todayilearned 11 comments 204
