 The decision was to make child study a faculty unto itself, which would keep it under the wing of the University of Toronto, but invite outside financing.In 1937, St. George's School for Child Study, including the research and graduate education activities, was renamed the Institute of Child Study.In 2010, the institute was named in honour of Dr. Eric Jackman, a clinical psychologist and alumnus of the laboratory school whose financial gift was the largest donation to early childhood education in Canadian history.
