History

Saskatoon Business College was founded by Robert D. Campbell in 1907. Mr. Ernest Marshall and Mr. David Marshall can be credited for bringing the College forward. Primarily during the 1930s and 1940s the College was held by 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 names such as the Saskatoon-Success Business College, as well as the Success Secretarial College and School of Accountancy. Success College was then held briefly by Mr. Lewis Furse before being acquired in 1951 by Fred and Helen Chapman 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 1963. It has now been in the Chapman Family for three generations.[4]
