RN ONTAR-To- DEMAND F EDUCATION DOUBLES THE ENROLMENT Activities of "Western" Have Wide Influence Apart From. Training of Students—All of the People Reap Increas- ing Benefit From Work of Institution. OT ALONE through their teaching of numbers of students who go to them each year for intensive training along par- ticular lines, but through their ever widening influence, as well, upon the trend of public .welfare and activities generally, universities today are indispensable in every phase of human existence and endeavor the civilized world over. A nation owes the productive wealth of its mineral and timber resources, the development of its agricultural riches, the efficiency of its industrial exploitation, its prestige and attain- ments in the fields of science, and the good health of its people in both mind and body, in great measure to its universities. They have been and continue to be the discoverers, the pioneers, the leaders and the co-workers in the whole unending process of advancement. out of it hail as.,ued a groat undo- nominafienal unncrsitc with its denominational afilliat •ti coltr• but NVih tt, nwa identity, fut eti l 1%11,11:••:ice dedicated1111:. `t^. t or an th, the people ,1 ntl hnt.- its co,istttw;.ic5 t tc;neeti•,,, ,Z their • c is To fourteen counties of \v este •n ontaritt-Lsant, Imlay, El •. i:t, 1•:rri x, b]- dlesrx, Nurfoli r;5oi•d i':ttb, V'at- trloo and Welliat,itin—ure b,: law the pre: cr_',r. d emistithency of the t'fltt .. -its.

It is a University of and for the people. From the fourteen Western On- tario counties every year go increas- ing numbers of young men and young 'women to their nearby Uni- versity, and through its portals to wider opportunities; some to fame and fortune, - Student Enrolment Doubled So groat, in fact, has been the re- cent demand for university educa- tion particularly in this progressive section of the Dominion, that the student enrolment at The University of We t Orn Ontari.o Lae doubled dur- ing th Iat:;t five years; a growth of demand for university service phen- omenally in excess of anything ever before experienced by any Canadian university, And what is significant to a re- markable degree is the fact that the majority of those students go .to the Trnivm'sity not Irene the urban com- munities, but from the rural dis- tricts. More • than half of the total number of students now attending The University of Western Ontario, are from homes in the thirteen coun- ties of Western Ontario outside the university oounty of Middlesex. This is pointed indication of two It is a significant fact, one of which the people and tiro uuiversiti's of Canada may be justly proud, tuts teto people of the Dominion as a whole stand at the head of the lh of all the• peoples of the world r - the most practically trt:sally inteilige nt primary . u,1 secondary School: comttry have: had ,t larr .mare i the .eaa i onett of that position bet to its uuitc --._zit-.. :t003 the palm e - principal cs L' •. .,....t, For it from them that come the teach- ers, from them the taeia and wotatni, and from them the ideas and meth- ods ---and the auelieetiott of thee., ideas and mathede, that have riven so largely to its:.chair education, Canadian agriculture, Canadian science, Canadian industry, Can- adian public life and Canadian good health the hallmark of collective, comparative supremacy. In the Province of Ontario, with its large centralization of population, the situation in this respect Is the more striking, while inWestern O:s- tario--"the garden of Canada"—the position finds still greater emphasis.

And in the heart of this populous district of agricultural and indus- trial greatness constantly becoming greater, is The University of Western Ontario, A Groat University Like nearly all other seats of higher learning established on this centlnel1t during the last century, The University of Westdrn Ontario had its beginning in an institution for 'the development of young men for the Ministry.

Minimum of Expense Second, it is indication that the people of Western Ontario rapidly have come to recognize in The Uni- versity of Western Ontario the logi- cal outlet for their own demand for higher education. Nor could this recognition be at all possible but for two all important considerations, namely, that (1) tho standards of teaching at The University of West- ern estern Ontario are of the highest; proven the equal of the best and su- perior to some, particularly in re- spect of ability to adhere to that invaluable policy of intisuate, in- dividual imstraction of the student, anis (2) that economy of tuition, transportation and living costs makes Possible the minitnutn of expense. As the Han, John S. Markin, pro- vincial minister of agriculture, re- cently declared before an audience reerosentativo of tate rural districts of Western Ontario, "but for the existence of The University of West- orn Ontario in the very heart 01 the community, a university education would be impossible for many who are now able to benefit by it. Illgher living costs alone, in Toronto for in- stance, would add from ono hundred to two hundred dollars a year to tete cost of sending a son or daughter to the university there. Moreover, in London, students aro within a short distance of their homes, a fact of touch importance to parents, and as London Is not a large city in the ordinary sense, it is frog from the many distractions of a groat metro- polis." Ilut, as it was stated in the begin- ning, it is not alone through its teaching of numbers of students who go to it for training along specific lines, hat through its i'ulaenee upon the trend of public affairs .generally that ileo university today is indis- pensable, 'J7to University 1Cntdnonco The work and influence of The University of Western Ontario throughout the fourteen counties of its constituency le to be seen on every hand. The Faculty and Insti- tute of Public Health alone serves upWard of 130 .separate communities in co-operation with public health officials, physicians. nurses and others interested or engaged in the all-important business of preserva- tion of .health and prevention of dis- ease, The influence of the work of the Faculty of Medicine, officially recog- nized as in the first class among institutions of the kind en this con- tinent, is felt throughout the West- ern Ontario district and beyond. Its contributions to medical and surgical knowledge and practice, thorough re- search and study are internationally notable, and its accumulation of the best and latest itt understanding and methods from the great medical and surgical centres of the world gives to it a Value to the people of West- ern Outerio that Is beyond estimate. To both tete urban and rural com- munities of Western Ontario, the wont of the Department of Exten- ^ion and Adult Education and of the Summer School and Extra Mural De- partment In of far-reaching import- ance. These departments do not wait for the student to come to them; they carry the elements of university training and study into the homes of those who are prevented by circum- stances from attending the regular courses, or who desire to take up Oho or other form of special study. Hun- dreds of individuals in all walks of life are benefiting by this service every year, and annually tate scope' of tho work is being extended, In Agriculture And of particular importance to the rural citizens is the University's work in agricultural research. Al- ready this work has obtained wide , recognition and is about to be ex- • tended in keeping with present-day indications of what lies ahead, for it hos been forecast on the basis off definite evidence in that direction that Western Ontario In the near fa - titre le to experience an intensive de- velopment of its agricultural re- sources on a scale hitherto not dreamed of. For fifty years The University of a Western Ontario has been serving the people of '4Veotern Ontario with increasing generosity and productive efficiency. During that half -century it has been confronted by and has overcome many obstacles, some of which have at tunes threatened its very life. But it has never before sought the help of those whom it ; has served beyond the circle of its . immediate situation. Today, however, The University of Western Ontario is faced by a genuine crisis in its affairs brought about by the larger demands placed upon ,it by the people 02 its whole constituency, The one solution of its problem is that all of those whom it serves must unite to assume their share of the responsibility for main- taining its service. The Government of the Province is generously provid- ing partially toward that solution. The Cit3t of London is bearing a fair share of that responsibility, and the people of London are assuming their share as individuals and as a com- munity. The share of each of the fourteen counties of Western On- tario has been soundly established, and the government, the leaders in the religious, educational, agricul- tural, industrial and social life of the whole district of Western On- tario have expressed themselves as confident that the citizens of West- ern Ontario counties will see incum- bent upon themselves the moral re- sponsibility and the material neces- sity for snaking certain that the University that is theirs shall not falter for want of their understand- ing and action.
