History

Saskatoon Business College was founded by Robert D. Campbell in May of 1907. Mr. Ernest Marshall and Mr. David Marshall can be credited for bringing the College forward. From the late 1920s to early 1950s the College was associated with the Success Business College chain of schools as part of a Canada-wide chain of colleges operated by Frederick Garbutt (1876-1947) of Calgary, Alberta.[2] During this time, the College assumed name titles such as the Saskatoon-Success Business College, as well as the Success Secretarial College and School of Accountancy. Briefly held by Mr. Lewis Furse, Success College was acquired by Fred and Helen Chapman in 1951 who reverted the College back to its original name, Saskatoon Business College.[3] Saskatoon Business College moved from its Second Avenue to the Third Avenue business district in 1961. It has now been in the Chapman Family for three generations.[4]
