History
Canadian University College traces its roots to the first Seventh-Day Adventist secondary school in Alberta, established in 1907 in Leduc. In 1909, a site outside Lacombe was chosen. In 1919, the school became a junior college. In 1947, it began its first four-year program in theology and adopted the name Canadian Union College. In 1997, CUC's name was changed to Canadian University College. It and the nearby Hamlet of College Heights was annexed by Lacombe in 2000.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“America is the only nation in history which, miraculously, has gone directly from barbarism to degeneration without the usual interval of civilization.”
—Attributed to Georges Clemenceau (1841–1929)
“Classes struggle, some classes triumph, others are eliminated. Such is history; such is the history of civilization for thousands of years.”
—Mao Zedong (1893–1976)
“I am ashamed to see what a shallow village tale our so-called History is. How many times must we say Rome, and Paris, and Constantinople! What does Rome know of rat and lizard? What are Olympiads and Consulates to these neighboring systems of being? Nay, what food or experience or succor have they for the Esquimaux seal-hunter, or the Kanaka in his canoe, for the fisherman, the stevedore, the porter?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
