World's first water-played instrument
Electrical and computer engineering prof Steve Mann invented hydraulophones, unique musical instruments that work like woodwinds but use water, rather than air, to create their otherworldly music.
Canada's first African Studies Program
New College launched its African Studies program in 1978 and was the first such university program in Canada – and it's still the largest. Nearly 150 students benefit from the expertise of U of T's 28 Africanists. New College also hosts Canada's only Caribbean Studies program.

Oldest Artwork
The most ancient artifacts in the three art collections held in public trust by the university are more than 4,000 years old. The tiny stone mask and figurine both come from Bronze Age Anatolia.
Biggest Artwork
A 12-meter, powder-coated steel structure – "Interregnum: Corner Displacement for John Andrews," by artists Daniel Young and Christian Giroux – was created in 2011 for the atrium of UTSC's Instructional Centre. As the sunlight shining through the overhead skylight moves throughout the day, the sculpture's form and shadows shift and change, symbolizing growth.
Longest Ph.D. Thesis
In 1966, John Francis Quinn submitted "St. Bonaventure and the notion of Christian philosophy in modern scholarship; an introduction to St. Bonaventure and the divine immutability": 1,443 pages of scholarly erudition.
Only Canadian-help copy of Shakespeare's first folio
Published in 1623, this book contains 36 of Bard's famous plays. Only 228 copies survive, and U of T's Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library holds the only one in Canada.
First Electric Computer
The UTEC computer at the University of Toronto was the first functional electronic computer in Canada.
Cornell University's building based on Hart House
Cornell University's building Willard Straight Hall was named for Willard Dickerman Straight, who served in WWI. He left a large portion of his estate to Cornell to build what would become one of the first student unions in the country. As one of the first college unions in the United States, this Gothic structure was modeled after Hart House at the University of Toronto.
