This year marks the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War and the beginning of an era of extraordinary change at Canadian universities. Enrolment doubled as thousands of veterans were able to attend university as part of the Veterans Charter provisions.

What national role did McGill play and how did the challenges of that era lead to the university we are familiar with today?
