In 2005, 10,660 full-time undergraduate students and 2,640 full-time graduate students enrolled at Dalhousie. The final vote was No, with 57.3% of voters agreeing that the proposed improvements were unnecessary or should not be funded solely by student dollars. Had the referendum succeeded, the construction and renovations would have been funded through an increase in student fees of $10.00 per course, reaching a maximum of $100 per year, for several decades.

Rugby Team
Dalhousie University has been competing in the sport of rugby union in Nova Scotia since at least the 1880s.
