Huron University College, referred to locally as Huron College is one of the affiliated colleges of the University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario, Canada. It was founded in 1863 by two Anglican priests and is the oldest affiliated college of the University of Western Ontario. Huron is also home to an Anglican seminary. Huron predates the founding University of Western Ontario by 15 years and acted as a founding element of the larger university.〔http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.com/index.cfm?PgNm=TCE&Params=U1ARTU0003543 The Canadian Encyclopedia〕 In the latter half of the 20th century, Huron evolved from its theological roots into an institution for those seeking a rigorous liberal arts education along with small classes and individual attention from faculty. Huron College occupies traditional-style buildings on the West side of Western Road in the Northwest part of the UWO campus. ==History== Huron College was founded on May 5, 1863 by Benjamin Cronyn and Isaac Hellmuth, as an evangelical low church alternative to the high church Trinity University in Toronto.〔(University of Western Ontario )〕 The first class of 13 students were taught by Isaac Hellmuth (Huron's first Principal) in the winter of 1863. The evangelical section of the Church of England obtained a charter for Huron College, under the name of the Western University of London in 1878.〔https://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/etext04/tlctd10.txt The Project Gutenberg EBook #6466 of 'The Intellectual Development of the Canadian People, A historical review' by John George Bourinot, House of Commons, Ottawa, February 17th, 1881〕 It has been a University of Western Ontario founding institution since 1878 (The oldest affiliated college of the University of Western Ontario) .〔 William A.
