WESTERN ONTARRI.01 F ,tR 'KATIE '`N D .1 ' LES THE ENR' LMENT Activities of "Western" Have Wide Influence Apar t Fror. Training of Students—All of the People Reap Increas- ing Benefit From Work of Institution. IN'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 inf uence, 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 1l both mind and body in great measure to its universities. They VI have been and continue to be the discoverers, the pioneers, the WI leaders and the co-workers in the whole unending process of advancement, It is a significant fact, one o which the people and the universitie of Canada may be justly Dread, tha theo i o e e p p f the o Dominion as whole stand at the head of the lime of all the peoples of the world as the most practically intelligent. ` The primary and secondary schools of the country . have had a large share in the attainment of that position, but to its universities goes the pales.of Principal achievement. For it is from them that have come the teach- ers, from them the men and women, and from thein the ideas and meth- ods—and the application of those ideas and methods, that have given so largely to Canadian education, Canadian agriculture, Canadian science, Canadian industry-, Can- adian public life and Canadian good health the hallmark of collective, comparative supremacy. *1111111111aillitillliElfilflill11111.AfillOSIMS11111111111111111111111111111111111111111181111111111111111111111N111111111111111111111111111111 vart Your Attie a t4Au, Atti'acti e Extra Et orat at LLoiC i st With GY . ,,,•G OC Send for handsome, free book, "Walls That Reflect Good Judgment."

Hlere, in the agrieulturally-richest and second industrially -greatest sec- tion of Canada; are one hundred sec- ondary schools, or ono -third of the total number of sueli schools in the entire province. In these schools Is more than one-third of the total sec- ondary'school population of the pro- vince. And fit the heart of this populous district of agricultural and indus- trial greatness constantly beeoming greater, is The University of Western Ontaeio, A Great University Like nearly all other seats of higher learning established ,en this continent during the last century, The University of Western Ontario had its beginning in an institution for, the development of young meti for the Ministry. lEltiran College still Web- to Continue its servlee in the cause ot the Christllaa Church, but out of it has issued a great =de- nominational university, with its denominational mtnat' zonal affiliated colleges, lees but with its own identity, function, and influence dedieated to the ser- vice of all of the people throughout its constituency irrespective of their creeds. TN) fourteen counties of Western Ontario—Brant, Bruce, Elgin, Essex, Gray, Iiuron, Kent, Lambton, Mids dieser, Norfolk, Oxford, Perth, Wal- erloo and Wellington—are by law the prescribed constituency of; the University. The Board of Governors of the University is representative of the whole of Western Ontario. Every one of the fourteen counties within its jurisdiction is represented in the Senate of the University. The Uni- versity of Western Ontario is under complete public control. 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 Dot tbled So great, 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 Western Ontario has doubled dur- ing the last five years; a growth, of demand for university service phen- omenally in excess of anything ever before experieneed by any Canadian university. And What is significant to a re- markable degree is the fact that the majority of these students go to the University not from the urban eom- inanities, but from the rural dis- tricts; More than half of the total number of students' now attending The t7niversity of Western Ontario, r are from i mWestern e homes an the thirteen coun-; ties of We t r sn Ontari outside the. university county of 1Viiddlesetzr This is pointed 3bdlcatlon oP two Above, the School of Medicine; the College of Arts, with its County of Iilttddlesec war memorial tower; the, Natural Sciences building.

Sherwood Fox, president and vice-chancellor of the University. things, First, of the realization that is lining itself securely and perman- ently in the minds of centralized communities everywhere, that a 'uni- versity education is avital factor for the greater success and happiness of the individual, man or woman, no matter what his or her present st: tion may be, and no matter in what field of ,. endeav ' ori Its orer h future lies;that , the day when the univer- sity or college was a place apart, re- served for the training of doctors, lawyers, preachers and teachers, long since has passed. Whether it be in agriculture or in business, the Iran or woman going out into the world today, or remaining at home, who has not the background of knowledge or the command of pres- ent-day 'methods and mechanisms, cannot hope to compete with those who possess that background and and that training, The nation's leaders in the turmoil of human af- fairs today are the best authorities for that observation. 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 reeognit±on be at all possible but for two all.important considerations, namely, that (1) the standards of teaching at The University of West- ern 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 intimate, in- dividual instruction of the student, and (2) that economy of tuition, transportation and living costs makes possible the minimum' of expense, 4.s the Hon. 'John S. Martin, pro- vincial minister of agriculture, re- cently declared before an audience representative of the rural disti'iets of Western Ontario, "but for the existence of The University of West- ern ontarioin the very hsttrt of the community, a university education would be impossible .for many who are note' able to benefit by it, Higher livin s' costs a ion e, itt Toronto or i In stance, would add dd froth bre hrindred. to two hundred dellarsa year to the cost of sending a son or daughter to the university there. Moreover, i London, students are within a shor distance of their homes, a fact o much importance to parents, and a London is not a large city in th ordinary sense, it is free from th many distractions of a great metro polis." But, as it was stated in the begin fling, g, it is not alone through it teaching of numbers of students who go to it for training along specifi lines, but through its influence upon the trend of public affairs gener.aily that the university today is indis- pensable. n every year, and annually, the scope) t of the work is being extended. s III In Agriculture e And of particular importance to e the rural citizens Is the University's work in agricultural research. A1- ready* this work has obtained wide' recognition and Is `about to be ex- tended ded i n keeping hn with 1 gpresent-day indications of what lies `ahead, for it has been forecast on the basis of c definite evidence in ' that direction that Western Ontario in the near fu- ture is to experience an intensive de- velopment of its agricultural re- sources on a scale hitherto not. dreamed. of. For fifty years The University of Western Ontario has been serving the people of Western 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 times 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 . of its whole constituency, The one Solution of its problem is that all of those whole it serves Banat 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 City of Landon is bearing a fair share of that resiSonsibillty, and the people of London are assuming their share as individuals and as a coni-. inunity, 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, a gr icnl- tural, industrial and social life of the whole district of Western On - WIC) have expressed themselves solves tis confident that the citizens of West- ern Ontario counties wilt see xneuni: bent upon themselves the morale re - on by an sI l si flit - dh e material tiecesy it t y for malting certain that the tYniveesiiy that ie theirs shall not; alter ter want of their understand - ng and action. The 'University Influence The work and influence of The University of Western Ontario throughout the fourteen counties of its constituency Is to be .seen on every hand. The ra:euity and Insti- tute of Public Health alone serves upward of 180 separate communities in co-operation with public health officials, physielans. 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 on this eon- tinent, is feet' throughout the West- ern Ontario district and beyond. Its eontributi.ons to medical and surgical knowledge and practice, thorough re- search and study are internationally notable, and its accumulation oft he best and latest in understanding and methods from the groat medical and surgical centres of the world gives to it a value to the people of West- ern Ontario that is beyond ostlinate. To both the urban' and rural com- munities of Western Ontario, the work of the Department of Exten- sion and Adult Bdueation and of the Summer School and Eittra Mural De- partment ie of far-reaehing import- anee, These departments do not wait tor the student to come to them; they tarry the oletneilts ot university '. training and study into the homes of those who are prevented by 'cirentn- sta. ne es front attending courses or who desire the regular > re to take up one s or other form of special study. Hun- dreds of individuals in all 'Wa;llts of i life are benefiting by this service'
