Mount Allison University - Definition

Located in Sackville, New Brunswick, Canada, Mount Allison University was founded in 1839 by a local Methodist merchant, Frederic Allison.

Mount Allison University routinely tops the Maclean's Magazine Annual Survey of Canadian Universities in the category for small undergraduate schools. In the first survey, it ranked third over-all, which led to the division of the ranking into categories the next year.

Mount Allison has produced more Rhodes Scholars per capita than any other university in the Commonwealth. The latest, nominated in 2003, was the school's 45th.

The school's team name in Canadian Interuniversity Sport is the Mount Allison Mounties. Unfortunately, the football team has not fared well in recent years, and as of January 2005 hasn't won a game in two years.

The university is divided into residences which divide the community into social groups, the most prominent of which are:

• Bigelow House
• Bennett House
• Trueman House
• Hunton House
• Thornton House
• Edwards House
• Windsor Hall
• Harper Hall
• Campbell Hall
