	Unlike other anglophone universities in Montreal, such as [[McGill University]], the university suffered a lack of funding for two major reasons: the relative poverty of the [[French Canadian]] population and the complications ensuing from its remote management from Quebec City. The downtown campus was hit by three different fires between 1919 and 1921, further complicating the university's already precarious finances and forcing it to spend much of its resources on repairing its own infrastructure.

===Early years===

As an institution, the university was first founded when the [[Laval University]] (''Université Laval'') in [[Quebec City]] founded a new branch in Montreal in 1878, which became known as the ''Université de Laval à Montréal''. This initially went against the wishes of Montreal's [[prelate]], who advocated an independent university in his city..

[http://125.umontreal.ca/histoire/1878-a.html Université de Montréal - Fêtes du 125e - 125 ans d'histoire (1878-2003). .

===Founding by provincial charter===

Although a branch of [[Laval University]] was planned as Montreal's first French-language university, it was not until [[February 14]], [[1920]], that the first provincial charter founding the university was passed.
The second provincial charter was passed in 1950.
The policy of university education initiated in the 1960s (following the [[Quiet Revolution]]) was a response to popular pressure and the belief that higher education was a key to social justice and economic productivity for individuals as well as society.. http://*www.thecanadianencyclopedia.com/index.cfm?PgNm=TCE&Params=A1ARTA0008242.
The third provincial charter, which was passed in 1967, defined the ''Université de Montréal'' as a public institution, dedicated to higher learning and research, in the administration of which students and teachers would have the right to participate.

===Campus relocation===

From 1876 to 1895, most university classes took place in the ''Grand séminaire de Montréal''. From 1895 to 1942, it was housed in a building on the intersection of the [[Saint Denis Street|Saint Denis]] and [[Sainte Catherine Street|Sainte Catherine]] streets in Montreal's downtown [[Quartier Latin, Montreal|Quartier Latin]].

Unlike other anglophone universities in Montreal, such as [[McGill University]], the university suffered a lack of funding for two major reasons: the relative poverty of the [[French Canadian]] population and the complications ensuing from its remote management from Quebec City. The downtown campus was hit by three different fires between 1919 and 1921, further complicating the university's already precarious finances and forcing it to spend much of its resources on repairing its own infrastructure. [http://125.umontreal.ca/histoire/1919-a.html Université de Montréal - Fêtes du 125e - 125 ans d'histoire (1878-2003). .

The university's former downtown facilities would later serve Montreal's second francophone university, the ''[[Université du Québec à Montréal]]'' (UQAM).

Scientifics there worked to develop a nuclear reactor, notably by conducting various [[heavy water]] experiments. The research was part of the larger [[Manhattan Project]], which aimed to develop the first [[atomic bomb]].

One of the participating [[French Canadian]] scientists, Pierre Demers, also discovered a series of radioactive elements issued from [[Neptunium]].. [http://125.umontreal.ca/histoire/1943-a.html#b Université de Montréal - Fêtes du 125e - 125 ans d'histoire (1878-2003). .

===Growth and expansion===

[[Image:Exterior of Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal.jpg|200px|thumb|right|École Polytechnique as it stands today.]]

Two distinct schools eventually became affiliated to the university. The first was the ''[[École Polytechnique de Montréal|École Polytechnique]]'', a school of [[engineering]], which was founded in 1873 and became affiliated in 1887. The second was the ''[[HEC Montréal|École des Hautes Études Commerciales]]'', or HEC, which was founded in 1907 and became part of the university in 1915.
The first [[francophone]] school of [[architecture]] in Canada opened in 1907 at the ''École Polytechnique''.. [http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.com/index.cfm?PgNm=TCE&Params=A1ARTA0009565 The Canadian Encyclopedia - Architectural Education].

Between 1920 and 1925, seven new faculties were added to the initial three: [[Philosophy]], [[Literature]], [[Sciences]], [[Veterinary medicine]], [[Dental surgery]], [[Pharmacy]] and [[Social sciences]].
Notably, the Faculty of [[Social science]]s was founded in 1920 by [[Édouard Montpetit]], the first [[Laïcité|laic]] to lead a faculty.. [http://125.umontreal.ca/histoire/1919-b.html Université de Montréal - Fêtes du 125e - 125 ans d'histoire (1878-2003). . He thereafter fulfilled the role of secretary-general until 1950.

In 1965, the appointment of the university's first secular rector, [[Roger Gaudry]], paved the way for modernization. The university established the first adult education degree program offered by a [[French Canadian]] university in 1968.

An important event that marked the university's history was the [[École Polytechnique massacre]]. On December 6, 1989, a gunman armed with an automatic rifle entered the ''École Polytechnique'' building, killing 14 people, all of whom were women, before taking his own life.

Since 2002, the university has embarked on its largest construction projects since the late 1960s, with five new modern buildings planned for advanced research in [[pharmacology]], [[engineering]], [[aerospace]], [[cancer]] studies and [[biotechnology]].

==Campus==
[[Image:Université de Montréal map2.png‎|thumb|left|200px|Mount Royal campus.]]

The university's main campus is located on the northern slope of [[Mount Royal]] in the [[Outremont (borough)|Outremont]] and [[Côte-des-Neiges]] boroughs. Its landmark [[Roger Gaudry]] [[Pavilion (structure)|pavilion]], which was designed by the noted architect [[Ernest Cormier]], can be seen from around the campus and is known for its imposing tower. It is built mainly in the [[Art Deco]] style, with some elements of [[International style (architecture)|International style]].

The campus is served by the [[Côte-des-Neiges (Montreal Metro)|Côte-des-Neiges]], [[Université-de-Montréal (Montreal Metro)|Université-de-Montréal]], and [[Édouard-Montpetit (Montreal Metro)|Édouard-Montpetit]] [[Montreal Metro|metro]] stations.

Apart from its main Mount Royal campus, the university also maintains four regional facilities in [[Lanaudière]], [[Laval, Quebec|Laval]], [[Longueuil]] and [[Quebec City|Quebec]].. [http://www.campusregionaux.umontreal.ca/ Université de Montréal - Bureau de l'enseignement régional]. The campus in Laval, just north of Montreal, was opened in 2006. It is Laval's first university campus, and is located in the area near the [[Montmorency (Montreal Metro)|Montmorency]] metro station. In order to solve the problem of lack of space on its main campus, the university is also planning to open a new campus in [[Outremont (borough)|Outremont]].. [http://www.siteoutremont.umontreal.ca/ Université de Montréal - Outremont facility project page].

The [[Centre hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal]] (CHUM) and the [[Centre hospitalier universitaire Sainte-Justine]] are the two teaching hospital networks of the Université de Montréal's Faculty of Medicine, although the latter is also affiliated with other medical institutions such as the Institut universitaire de gériatrie de Montréal.

===Student life===

There are various student groups, clubs and associations on the university's campus, the largest of them being the [[FAÉCUM]], a federation of [[students' union]]s.

The campus offers various student-run newspapers, such as ''Quartier Libre'', as well as its own student-run radio station, [[CISM-FM]].

===Athletics===
The university is represented in [[Canadian Interuniversity Sport]] by the [[Carabins]]. The Carabins, whose origins date back to 1922,<ref name=carabins1>[http://www.carabins.umontreal.ca/pages/APropos/historique.aspx?lang=FR-CA Université de Montréal - Carabins - Historique]. currently rank among the top 10 university teams in Canada. The organization has about 300 student athletes organized in 15 different teams and 8 disciplines: badminton, [[Canadian football|football]], golf, swimming, alpine skiing, [[Association football|soccer]], tennis and volleyball. Following the establishment of a Club of Governors in June 2002, the Carabins are now partly financed through private funds. Initially lead by [[Formula One]] [[List of Formula One Grands Prix|Grand Prix]] president Normand Legault, the Club is composed of various business personalities and is currently headed by [[Rona (company)|Rona]] CEO Robert Dutton.

On January 31, 2008, the Carabins announced the creation of its first female hockey team, which after training and preparation should officially start competing by fall 2009.<ref name=carabins1 />
