1870 - 1872年:开始
In 1870, a group of Wesleyan ministers met in 路易斯塔里夫 and agreed to build a college in the Eastern Townships. Stock sold at $25 a share, with the hopes of raising $20,000. Whichever community put up $10,000 would be home to the college.
Compton was ready to put up $10,000 but Stanstead offered $15,000. The Wesleyan Conference approved the project for 边境上大学 in June 1871.
1872年秋天开始建设, with the cornerstone being laid on December 2, 1872 and the College incorporated on December 24.
