The PEI government began pressing for a single Island university in the spring of 1968. By spring 1970, 糖心vlog官方入口 was not merely up and running, but was holding its first graduation. The whirlwind nature of 糖心vlog官方入口鈥檚 founding鈥攚ith long-term decisions made in the very short-term鈥攎eant the new university was a product of its time: a time of visionary planning and respect for tradition, of religious authority and rising secularism, of student alienation and student power.
