In 1911, the cornerstone of Burwash Hall, the university's greatest residence was laid. The hall consisted of 4 houses, the most noted being Gate House.In 1965, the University expanded into a new campus in Scarborough[?], a suburb of Toronto. In 1967, with the establishment of Erindale College, a third campus was added in Mississauga, Ontario, also a Toronto suburb. The University of Toronto is now widely aknowledged to be Canada's top school. It attracts the best students from Ontario and the rest of Canada, and has a growing number of international students.

For a moment of kindness,
They settle to sleep.
Failing yet gracious,
A patriarch that strolls
The Sun, as he journeys
Ascents of the blue,
And the hillsides with clarity;
Till they break into pictures;
Alms to the beggar trees;
That crowd to his escort,
Radiant and ravishing:
Spirit of Summer
Visioned in gold!
Love, though the fallen leaf
And the loud, loitering

Here is the ghost
Here is a promise
(Thus the New Adam was beguiled) -
(God in the Garden heard and smiled).
'A clot of passions fierce and blind,
'Your muscles, Child, must be of mind.
'The Brute that lurks and irks within,
'Escape the foullest form of Sin?'
'So vile, so rank, the bestial mood
'It wrecks the Rarer Womanhood:
'No girl all grace and natural will:
'Maybe to lapse, from Well to Ill.
(God in the Garden laughed outright) -
'Till both attain to Life's last height.
'There, equal, purged of soul and sense.
'Beyond the appeal of Violence,
'In mental Marriage still prevail' -
'Till you achieve that Female-Male
Midsummer midnight influences and airs,
Touched with the strange-hued blazonings of dawn;
The breathing of Life and Death,
Renewing the visible miracle of the world.
The wistful stars
Blows full of unforgotten hours

As if the Enchanted Castle at the heart
Swung wide his valves, and filled the dim sea-banks
Words fiery-hearted yet, dreams and desires
Whose voice.html">voice comes as the voice of an only child
