History of Upper Canada College
The history of Upper Canada College (UCC), located in Toronto, Ontario, began with its founding in 1829.
==Founding==

Upper Canada College was founded in 1829 by then-Lieutenant Governor of Upper Canada, Major-General Sir John Colborne (later Lord Seaton), to serve as a feeder school to the newly established King's College (later the University of Toronto). It was modelled on the great public schools of Britain, most notably Eton.〔''Upper Canada College, 1829-1979: Colborne's Legacy''; Howard, Richard; Macmillan Company of Canada, 1979〕〔(Upper Canada College: History )〕 An announcement of the College's January opening appeared in the December 17, 1829, edition of the ''Canada Gazette'', and teaching at the College began on January 4, 1830, with 57 students; the first boy enrolled being Henry Scadding. By the end of the school's first semester, the enrolment had increased to 89.〔 By the end of the first year of operation, UCC had admitted 140 pupils and employed a principal and eight masters.〔
Prior to 1829, the College was called the Royal Grammar School; its first permanent buildings stood on Russell Square, on land that is now bounded by King, Simcoe, Adelaide and John Streets in downtown Toronto. Almost immediately after the College opened, plans were implemented for newer and more permanent buildings, and the 1831 school year began in new structures at the north-west corner of King and Simcoe Streets (now 212 King Street West).〔
The new school was praised by some; the Reverend Thomas Radcliffe stated in an 1833 letter: "Future generations will bless the memory of Sir John Colborne, who, to the many advantages derived from the equity and wisdom of his government, has added that of a magnificent foundation (Upper Canada College ) for the purposes of literary instruction. The lowest salary of any of the professors of this institution is £30 per annum, with the accommodation of a noble brick house and the privilege of taking boarders at £50 per annum."〔(''Education In Upper Canada From 1783 To 1844''; 1912 )〕 However, the costs of the new buildings, combined with the large staff and their high salaries, led to criticism of the College and its expenses. In his publication ''Colonial Advocate'', William Lyon Mackenzie stated: "The College here at York in Upper Canada is most extravagantly endowed... thousands of pounds are realised at will by its self-constituted managers from the sale of school lots and school lands (fact, not true )... splendid incomes given to masters... and dwellings furnished to the professors... by the sweat of the brow of the Canadian labourer."〔Mackenzie, William Lyon; ''Colonial Advocate'', May 19, 1831〕 In 1837, UCC's student militia offered help to Sir Francis Bond Head's Family Compact government in suppressing Mackenzie's pro-responsible government Upper Canada Rebellion. In 1852, Mackenzie's sons, William and George, were enrolled at UCC.〔
