Campus
Glendon is located on the former estate of Edward Rogers Wood, a prominent Toronto financier of the early 1900s. The estate was the original York University campus and remained a liberal arts college when York's Keele campus was inaugurated in 1966. Glendon's first Principal was Canadian diplomat Escott Reid. The campus itself is also home to several ghosts recognised by the Toronto Ghosts and Hauntings Research Society, who haunt the manor and grounds, and have been reported in various sightings over the past — many remnants of the area's rich history. The campus has also played host to the production of CTV program Degrassi: The Next Generation, serving as a backdrop in several episodes as fictional "Banting University". Often, Glendon students are incorporated into shooting as the campus is sealed off for weekends at a time, the latest featured in Episodes 614 and 615 of the series, "Free Fallin', Part 1", "Free Fallin', Part 2". American Psycho 2: All American Girl (2002) and The Time Traveler's Wife (2009) were also extensively filmed in and around Glendon.
