Yup.
They made the same deal in Saskatchewan at the same time: Regina became the capital, Saskatoon got the university. Only Saskatchewan didn't renege on the deal the way Alberta did.
As things turned out, Calgary didn't get a university of its own until the 1960s. Just one of many ways Edmonton has given us the shaft over the years.
