Soldiers'
Tower, U of T |
Immediately after WW1
ended, planning had commenced at the university to erect a memorial tower in honour of
students and faculty who had given their lives in the Great War. The tower was designed by
Sproatt and Rolph, who were also the architects of Hart House, which stands beside the
tower. The cornerstone was laid on Armistice Day, 1919, and the tower was completed in
1924. On the stone walls of the walkway beneath the tower are engraved the names of the
roughly 1,200 students and faculty who died in the two world wars.
