Creating a University: The Newfoundland Experience

Buchanan, Roberta / Riggins, Stephen Harold
Creating a University: The Newfoundland Experience
Creating a University is a collection of memoirs by more than 30 former faculty and staff of Memorial University -- a series of "MUNographies, "-- about personal and professional experiences working at Newfoundland's only university.

Sharpe, C. a. / Shawyer, A. J.
Sweat Equity: Cooperative House-Building in Newfoundland, 1920-1974
The lack of decent urban housing -- a problem neither new nor unique to Newfoundland -- was widely recognized during the twentieth century. After numerous piecemeal attempts to find a solution, a remarkable and successful government-supported "sweat equity" program was established in 1952, where homes were built cooperatively and, upon completion, became owner-occupied. This labor (about 2, 000 hours per man) was accepted in lieu of a down pay...
