The University of Trinity College, informally referred to as Trin, is a college of the University of Toronto, founded in 1851 by Bishop John Strachan. Trinity was intended by Strachan as a college of strong Anglican alignment, after the University of Toronto severed its ties with the Church of England. In 1904, Trinity joined the university as a member of its collegiate federation.
Trinity College presently consists of a secular undergraduate section and a postgraduate divinity school that is part of the Toronto School of Theology. Reflecting its English heritage, the college maintains such traditions as the wearing of gowns at dinner, a chapel choir that includes choral scholars, and college scarves and blazers. The Munk School of Global Affairs is based in Devonshire House, the college's historic residence hall.
