Page 16 EMERY WEAL The Story of Our institute By R. K. Newton yHE Provincial Institute of Technology and Art had its inception during the First World War in the year 1916. In 1917 it was taken over by the Dominion Government as a Soldier’s Re-esta blish¬ ment Centre. In 1920 the Institute returned to Provincial control and the following year saw the corner-stone laid for a building to house the Normal School and the Institute of Technology and Art. In 1922 the Institute moved into its new home and carried on in these quarters until 1940 when war again intervened and its buildings and facilities were turned over to the Royal Canadian Air Force for a Wireless Training School under the British Commonwealth Air Train¬ ing Plan. The activities of the Institute moved temporarily to the Coste House in Mount Royal and the Grand Stand Building at Victoria Park. The Coste House, which is a magnificent residential building, is the present home of the Art and Dressmaking Departments. The remaind¬ er of the Departments and offices function at the Victoria Park Grand Stand Building. In the Fall of 1946 the Institute will again unite with the Faculty of Education in its own buildings back on the North Hill. The build¬ ings, which have been completely renovated, will be equipped with new and better machinery and more up-to-date equipment. Again it will be possible to “look up” and see a centre of Pro¬ gressive Education.
