WAR MEMORIAL HALL
In 1909 University of Guelph alumni were asked to contribute $60,000 in memoriam of the 109 Ontario Agricultural College students who made the ultimate sacrifice in WWI, with an additional $40,000 donation from the provincial government War Memorial Hall was born.
Students took up saws and axes against the Norway spruce that once inhabited the grounds to clear the area, and War Memorial Hall was constructed over the next few years.
June 1924 marked the opening day, with a plaque on the Wall commemorating the 109 fallen men, decades later an adjacent plaque established when once again the students answered the call to the second World War.
Today War Memorial serves not only as a lecture hall, but also a reminder of the rich history of the OAC
