Brock University - St Catharines was established by the Brock University Act in 1964. When the University first opened in September 1964, classes were held at the St. Paul Street United Church in downtown St. Catharines for 13 weeks until the Glenridge Campus was completely renovated. Brock's Glenridge campus was officially opened on October 19, 1964 with Dr. James A. Gibson as the University's founding President. Richard L. Hearn would later be appointed the University's inaugural Chancellor in 1967.
Brock University - St Catharines is named after Major-General Sir Isaac Brock, who commanded the British and Canadian forces during the War of 1812. Although, the British and Canadian forces went on to win the War, Isaac Brock lost his life during the Battle of Queenston Heights in 1812, fought 20 km from the present-day site of the campus. His last words are said to have been Surgite! (Latin for "push on") — now used as the University's motto. For his contribution to Canada, Isaac Brock was voted the 28th Greatest Canadian in a 2004 poll, conducted by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
