Father Henry Carr

A priest of the Congregation of St. Basil and a leading figure in higher education, Father Carr promoted the creation of Catholic colleges at secular universities in Canada. In the early 1900s, he modernized the St. Michael’s College curriculum, turning a small institution into a noted arts college, fully federated with the University of Toronto. A champion of this model, he went on to head similar Catholic institutions at the universities of Saskatchewan and British Columbia. In 1929, he co-founded what became the Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies, now a world-renowned research centre located on this campus.

Prêtre de la Congrégation de Saint-Basile et figure de proue de l’enseignement supérieur au pays, le père Carr promut la création de collèges catholiques au sein des universités laïques. Au début du XXe siècle, il modernisa le programme d’études du Collège St. Michael’s, transformant cet établissement en un réputé collège fédéré avec l’Université de Toronto. Il dirigea ensuite des collèges catholiques du même type aux universités de la Saskatchewan et de la Colombie-Britannique. En 1929, il cofonda sur ce campus ce qui allait devenir le Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies, aujourd’hui un centre de recherche de renommée mondiale.
