Situated at the western end of Hart House and standing 43.5 metres (143 feet) tall, the Soldiers’ Tower is a memorial to the 628 members of the University of Toronto who gave their lives while on active service in 1914 to 1918 and to the 557 men and women lost from 1939 to 1945.
It was built in 1923 to 1924 using $397,141 raised by U of T's Alumni Association to build a war memorial and establish scholarships in memory of those students, faculty, staff and alumni who served in the Great War.
Every Remembrance Day, the U of T community honours those alumni, students, faculty and staff who fell in the First and Second World Wars, as well as other conflicts.
