university resulted from the outgrowth of educational initiatives undertaken by baptists as early as the 1830s 16 the predecessor institution of mcmaster was established in 1881 as toronto baptist college 17 canadian senator william mcmaster the first president of the canadian bank of commerce bequeathed funds to endow a university which was incorporated through a merger of toronto baptist college and the faculty of theology in woodstock college woodstock ontario 4 3 the merger was formalized in 1887 when the act to unite toronto baptist college and woodstock college was granted royal assent with the newly incorporated institution being named mcmaster university 4 in 1887 the widow of william mcmaster susan moulton mcmaster conveyed a former family residence to the university for the purpose of establishing a preparatory school for girls the ladies department of woodstock college transferred control of its ladies department to the university and the building was reopened as moulton ladies college in 1888 18 the preparatory school operated until 1958 when it was closed by the university 2 mcmaster hall located in toronto was the original location of the university the building is currently used as the headquarters for the royal conservatory of music the new university housed in mcmaster hall in toronto was sponsored by the baptist convention of ontario and quebec as an undergraduate institution for its clergy and adherents the first courses initially limited to arts and theology leading to a ba degree were taught in 1890 and the first degrees were conferred in 1894 19 as the university grew mcmaster hall started to become overcrowded the suggestion to move the university to hamilton was first brought up by a student and hamilton native in 1909 although the proposal was not seriously considered by the university until two years later 20 by the 1920s after previous proposals between various university staff the hamilton chamber of commerce launched a campaign to bring mcmaster university to hamilton 11 as the issue of space at mcmaster hall became more acute the university administration debated the future of the university the university nearly became federated with the university of toronto as had been the case with trinity college and victoria college hamilton hall was constructed in 1926 in preparation for the university s move to hamilton instead in 1927 the university administration decided to move the university to hamilton 11 the baptist convention of ontario and quebec secured 1 5 million while the citizens of hamilton raised an additional 500 000 to help finance the move 21 the lands for the university and new buildings were secured through gifts from graduates 19 lands were transferred from royal botanical gardens to establish the campus area the first academic session on the new hamilton campus began in 1930 21 mcmaster s property in toronto was sold to the university of toronto when mcmaster moved to hamilton in 1930 mcmaster hall is now home to the royal conservatory of music 19 22 professional programs during the interwar period were limited to just theology and nursing 23 by the 1940s the mcmaster administration was under pressure to modernize and expand the university s programs during the second world war and post war periods the demand for technological expertise particularly in the sciences increased 23 this problem placed a strain on the finances of what was still a denominational baptist institution in particular the institution could no longer secure sufficient funds from denominational sources alone to sustain science research 23 since denominational institutions could not receive public funds the baptist convention of ontario and quebec decided to reorganize the university creating two federated colleges the arts and divinity programs were reconstituted as university college and science was reorganized under the newly incorporated hamilton college as a separate division capable of receiving provincial grants 23 hamilton college was incorporated in 1948 by letters patent under the companies act although it remained only affiliated with the university 24 the university traditionally focused on undergraduate studies and did not offer a phd program until 1949 25 through the 1950s increased funding advanced the place of sciences within the institution 26 in 1950 the university had completed the construction of three academic buildings for the sciences all designed by local architect william russell souter 27 public funding was eventually necessary to ensure the humanities and social sciences were given an equal place 26 thus in 1957 the university reorganized once again under the mcmaster university act 1957 dissolving the two colleges its property was vested to mcmaster and the university became a nondenominational institution eligible for public funding 24 the historic baptist connection was continued through mcmaster divinity college a separately chartered affiliated college of the university 19 28 also in 1957 phd programs were consolidated in a new faculty of graduate studies 25 construction of the mcmaster nuclear reactor also began in 1957 and was the first university based research reactor in the commonwealth when it began operating in 1959 29 in 1965 with the support of the ontario government the university established a medical school and teaching hospital graduating its first class of physicians in 1972 30 in 1968 the university was reorganized under an amended act of the mcmaster act into the divisions of arts science and health sciences each with its own vice president while the divinity college continued under its existing arrangement 24 31 in 1974 the divisional structure of the university was dissolved and reorganized again under the mcmaster university act 1976 and the vice presidents were replaced by a single vice president academic 24 the faculties of business engineering health sciences humanities science and social sciences were retained each under the leadership of a dean campus edit mcmaster s oldest buildings are examples of collegiate gothic architecture with architectural
