Document Summary
The thesis of this particular chapter is one that revolves around mount allison"s development, and the hurdles it had to overcome in order to become the school that charles allison so desired. The author outlines the difficulties that both it and other schools in the maritimes overcame, and how mount allison was different from the other schools within the maritimes. The author is successful in this outlining, as he effectively traces the history of charles allison himself, the methodist presence in the maritimes, and where other schools in the region were successful, and where they failed. It sets up a nice contrast between these schools and the development of mount allison, allowing the reader to fully understand the author"s thesis that mount allison had a long way to go to achieve what it did.
