This cairn, in the middle of campus, commemorates The Great Trek. The Great Trek was a 1922 student protest march that started in Fairview and ended on Point Grey with the students occupying the unfinished Science Building. The students were marching to protest delays in the constructing the campus. Of course, as a student I was completely unaware of the cairn, although I had heard of The Great Trek. I was there today partly because of a project our office is working on.
