UNIVERSITY OPENED.
Messrs J. G. Stanbury and R. N;
Creech representing the Exeter Board
of Education, and Mr, J. M. Southuott,
were in Lendon Thursday attending
the. opening of 'University of Western
Ontario and seeing the buildings. Lon-
don and the fourteen counties :.ur-
rounding that City can well feel proud
of the magnefiecent buildings, Art.
and ' Science, 'that are situate just over
the river to the northwest of the city
The buildings are the last word :n
point of architecture and general -util-
ity, while the site itself consisting of
255 acres cannot be surpassed. The
buildings, power house and bridge
are all constructed of concrete and
steel faced with grey sandstone. The
type of architecture is collegiate both-
ic. ft is simple, chase anee beautiful
and will last for centuries, The main
building contains the administrative of
floes, the library of 65,000 volumes,
the beautiful ;assembly hall, the offices
of th11Dean and professors of the Col-
lege of Arts, the students' supply
stores and post office, a museum and
a score or 'more of well lighted and
splendidly ventilated classrooms. The
natural science building has been con-
structed with a view primarily to util-
ity. .The building accommodates five
targe departments, Chemistry, Physics.
Zoology, Botany and Geology. Each
department has the; maximum number
of student and research laboratories.
Two amphitheatres for lectures and
demonstrations, a museum for spec-
imens and a, cafeteria for professors
and students are provided.
It is well worth anyone s while' to
drive into the grounds when in Lon -
;eon, if for no other purpose than to
see the outside of the buildings and
the grounds surrounding them, The
'present buildings' will be increased in
number as time goes: on and the needs
of the university become greater. The
grounds are already a beautiful park
and give great promise '-or all kinds
of activatees...
The opening ceremonies at 3 pen,
were very interesting and were at-
tended by many- prominent education-
alists from all, over Canada and the
United States, and many others who
are interested in educational work.
The formai opening took place in the
ass,enbly room. One "of the paricularly
'interesting features was the procession
of the heads of the various universities
in their hoods and gowns. At 6 p.m,
a Canadian Club dinner was partaken
a1 at the Tecumseh House, and follow -
in; this at 8.1,5 the Convocation' and
conferring of honiorary degrees took
place at the Winter Gardens. Many
excellent addresses were given both
afternoon and evening by eminent men
such as, President Itlintck of the Uni-
versity of British Columbia, Dean. Gor'•
doll J Laing of the University of Chris-
ago, President Sir Robert A, Falconer
of the University of Toncnta, Presicl
