The Development History of the University of Western Ontario

The University of Western Ontario was founded by Bishop Isaac Haarma and Bishop Huron of the Anglican Church in 1878, when it was named "University of West London, Ontario".

These students first graduated from 1883. 19 16, the university bought its present campus from the kingsmill family and changed its name to "University of Western Ontario" in 1923. In the same year, the University of Western Ontario established a Canadian French major in Trois-Pistoles, Quebec, which continues to this day. The first two buildings are the Art Building (now University College) and the Natural Science Building (now Physical Astronomy Building). These buildings are built in the neo-Gothic style (or "academic Goth"). One of the most distinctive buildings on campus, the University College Tower, was later named the middlesex Memorial Tower to commemorate the people who fought in middlesex County during World War II (when 40 male college students were enrolled). At present, the university land starts teaching from 1924.

After World War II, the University of Western Ontario expanded rapidly. After World War II, universities added new departments, such as graduate school, engineering science, law and Althouse Institute of Education. 195 1 year, Ivan Smith of the University of Western Ontario invented the world's first "cobalt bomb" machine for treating cancer, which increased the cure success rate of cervical cancer from 25% to 75%. 1965, Weston university began to lead the world wind engineering, with the world's first 3D wind engineering laboratory WindEEE, which successively tested world-famous buildings such as World Trade Center, Hills Tower, Taipei1kloc-0/,Jakarta Tower, etc. By the 1970s, about 10% of Ontario college students were studying at the University of Western Ontario.

Other famous buildings include Times Hall (built in 1950), Stevenson-Rosen Building (built in 1959), Talbert College (built in 1966), Alumni Hall (built in 1967), London Health Science Center on university campus, and John F.

The University of Western Ontario is one of the seven strongest doctoral medical universities in Canada (the only doctoral medical university in Canada that focuses on business), and its comprehensive scientific research level ranks among the top doctoral medical universities in Canada. Among universities in China, the University of Western Ontario ranks fourth in terms of the number of members of the International Union of Elite Scholars and the Royal Society of British Scholars, and the total number of technology patent applications and technology transfer in the world. Its research income ranks sixth in the country, and private donations rank first in the country.
