THE JUBILEE OP
TRINITY UNIVERSITY.
The Daily Colonist of Victoria., 13.
C., has lately -published a very litter.
esting article cm Trinity University,
Toronto, tn connection with the Jub-
ilee which the 'University is this year
celebrating. The follow,ng is in the
main an abridgement of the article re-
ferred. to.
Trinity' T.Tniversity completed its
fiftieth year on the 13th of January
last and :narked the event in a fitting.
manner byinstalling in the Cleteeel-
lor's Chair . Mr. Christopher Robin-
son, K. C., son of Trinity's first
Chancellor, Sir John Beverly Robin-
son, Batt. The installation was con-
sidered one of the most brilliant
funclions evern itt the
Dominion and the notable gathering
of the eighty or ninety inen of high
distinction in academic'business, pol-
itical and professional life, who occu-
pied the spacious dies of Trinity's con-
vocation hall, was a sight which will
live long in the memory of all who
witnessed it. The Chancellors of Mc-
Master, Vitoria and Toronto Univer-
sities, gentlemen of prominence in the
Ontario Legislature ; men . in
Dominion politics and in business cir-
cles, and inan.y others joined one and
all in expressing their high apprecia-
tion of Trinity's. good work during.
the past fifty years, with their heart.
Jest good wishes for many times fifty
years to come. , Needlese to say, -the
speakers were unanimous also in 'ex...
pressing their high regard and admir-
ation for the distinguished Canadian
whom they were inet together to in-
stall in the honorable position of
head of a university whose traditions
are -bound up with . the best intellect-
ual • and eocial life of Upper Canada
and which, 'Ss a centre of culture and
learning, has made its influence felt
in • all: . parts of the. Dominion. The
official welcome of the University Was
extended to the -chancellor. in a brief
address by Dr. Macklem, Provost of
Trinity College, and among other
speakers were Dr. J A. Worrell, K.
C„ who joined with the Provost and
ColcinC1 Pellatt • in extending to the
Chancellor the formal welcome of the
University ; and Dr. Gilbert Parker,
who welcomed the representatives of
the •Government and of other 'Culver-
sities, and the . friends of Trinity gen-
erally,to his alma meter, 'adding that
he never forgot that it was_to Trinity
- chiefly. that he owed whatever of in-
spiration and help his early years had
afforded hint. •COlonel Pellatt's ad-
dress was marked by strong .common
sense and business directness. Speak-
- ing. As. a .inember of the Corporation
of Trinity, he said he approached the
University question 'on the side chief-
ly of its business end financial 'Man -
•agement. He declared • himself t� be
keenly Alive to the benefits. to • he der-
ived. from e University education such
as Trinity afforded and said' that as

At the conclusion of these addresses

acknowledging the the honors conferred.

ons had lednim to accept the
position itt which:lie had just; been in-
stalled, he added : • .

can only say that it will be to ine
the greatest possible 'gratification,"•
After the Chancellor . had resuined
his seat addresses' were given by the
Hon. Richard Harcourt, Minister of
Education, in which • he spoke in • the
highest terms of the high standard of
the work which Trinity has always
done in the cause ofliigli?ir edueation
and of, the heartiness .with which. the
OM/eminent would welcome the en-
trance of Trinity into the Stet° Un-
iversity system ; by Sir William Mer-
edith, Chancellor of ' the 'University
of Toronto, who also spoke of the
gratification it, would give to the
State Vniversity to have the propos-
ed federation of Trinity made an at-
complished fact ; and by the Chancel -
ler of Victoria University etid the
Chancellor of McMaster University,
both' of %Ohm': joined in. the..congratu- •
lathing which had betel offered on all
hands to Trinity end the new Chan-
cullor, Mr. E. B. Oster, as a mem-
ber of the Board of Endowment of
Trinity, also spoke and expressed his
strong, tonviction of the importance
other hand than truer education which
Trinity was doing, in that it was
careful to recognize the difference be-
tween the mere imparting of know-
ledge on the one hand atid on the '
other haled that truer etlacation which
keeps steadily in view also the devel-
opment of character an all important e
part of education and one which can I
hardly be accomplished in a se.tisfac-

they still continued to plough each

But the Jubilee Year is marked by
something more important even than
the 'fitting commeznoration of the
peat, for this year witnesses- a new
policy of development and expansion
on the one harid and of consolidation
on the other. Reference has already
been made to the •proposed federation
of Trinity University with the Univer-
sity. of Toronto. This federatiott, if
carried oat' at all, will. be on lines
which shall enable Trinity to main-
tain and develop all those .cliStinctive
features and special. elms Which have
made this UniversitY . so Marked • a
power in the past ,• while .at the same
time .the value of the degree would be
enhanced by co-operation with. the
, Provincial University for the joint
• conferritig of .one degree under .a com-
mon curriculum in. place of the two
• rival degrees which have heretofore.
contended for the' greater honor.. .A
..confed'eration of this kind would •utt-
_questionably prove to be a consider-
able .accession of strength to both Un-
iversities. In particular, . Toronto
would contribute •to Trinity, its-scien-r
title . resources,. and Trinity would con-
tribute to ; Toronto that 'system Of ,
• reeidential• colleges, •for both men, and

of these we need not • speak at' length •

the Dominion
Fot many years past Trinity has

best influences of Ilnivereity educa-
tion in Canada find their meeting- de
hands, and rightly so, for some of the
place in • 'dear old Trinity," as her
graduates fondly term their alma
meter. Moreover the type of educa-
tion which Trinity has elweys made
it her special Abu to produce, is • be-
ing more and more appreciated in
Canada with the growing prosperity
of the Dominion and the increasing at.
tention that is being paid to the study
• of English literature and to elassical
scholarship as well .as to the careful
development of character as an im-
portant feature of higher education.
Doubtless • it is because Trinity froni
the nrsV has been. carefel to keep in
the forefron of her curriculum. those
branches' of knowledge which by com-
