Post-secondary education is one of the fastest growing segments of the educational system. In this volume the development and activities of universities, colleges of applied arts and technology, and other institutions of post-secondary education are described in detail. The public and private training activities of business and industry are outlined, and government programs for adult retraining described. Dr Fleming traces the origins of the institutes of technology and the college of applied art and technology, and he provides capsule histories of every university in Ontario.

W.G. Fleming (1923-1975) was a professor emeritus of Education at the University of Toronto and at OISE.

"This scrupulous concern for accuracy coupled with the range of subjects treated explains why Ontario's Educative Society is at the very least an indispensable reference work ... [It] is a monumental study and no one seriously interested in Ontario or Canadian education can afford not to be familiar with the riches it contains."

University of Toronto Quarterly

"Fleming's volumes are without equal, not only in Ontario but across the nation, in their analysis and synthesis of a province's educational development. For all who are interested in any facet of Ontario education, broadly defined, this series will be a ready and authoritative reference."

Education Canada

"... the very weight of the research and its literature and well laid-out presentation makes these volumes invaluable as reference material."
