Acadia University in Wolfville, Nova Scotia, was founded in 1838 by local Baptists who wanted a university for the region that would not require religious tests of its faculty or students. Clara Belle Marshall became its first woman graduate in 1884, and University Hall, completed in 1925, is a landmark of the campus.
