PEOPLE OF WESTERN ONTARIO DEMAND FOR 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. NOT ALONE through their teaching d numbers of students who go to them each year for intensive training along par- ticular lines, but through then:' 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 civilised 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- rents 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. It is a significant fact, one of which the people and the universities of Canada may be justly proud, that the people of the Dominion as a whole stand at the head of the line 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 palm of principal achievement. For it is. from them that have come the teach- ers, from them the men and women, and from them 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 wealth the hallmark of collective, comparative supremacy. In the Province of Ontario, wIth its large centralization of population, Ithe situation in thia respect is the more striking, while in Western On- tario— the Pard b en of Canada"—the position finds still greater emphasis. Here, in the agriculturally -richest and second industrially -greatest sec- tion of Canada, are one hundred sec- ondary schools, or one-third of the total number of such 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 in the heart of this populous' district of agricultural and indus- trial greatness constantly becoming greater, is The University ofWeatern Ontario, A Great University • Like nearly all other seats of higher learning established on this continent during the last century, The University of Western Ontario had its beginning in an institution for the development of young men for the Ministry. Huron College still lives to continuo its service in the :muse 01 the Christian Church, but out of it has issued a great =de- nominational university, with its denominational affiliated colleges, but with its own identity, function, and influence dedicated to the ser- vice of all of the people throughout its constituency irrespective of their creeds. The fourteen counties of Western Ontario—Brant, Bruce, Elgin, Ilasex, Gray, Huron, Kent, Lambton, Mid- dlesex, Norfolk, Oxford, Perth, Wat- 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 Doubled 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 experienced by any Canadian university. .And whatis significant to a re- markable degree is the fact that the majority of these students go to the University not from the urban com- munities, but from the rural dis- tricts, Afore than hall 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 county of Middlesex, This Is pointed ,indication of two Above, the School of Medicine; the College of Arts, tvihlt its County of Middlesex war mernorinl tower; tbj Natural Sciences building. .

Sherwood Fox, president and vice-chancellor: of the University, things. First,' of the realization that is fixing itself securely and perman- ently in the minds of centralized communities everywhere, that a uni- versity education is a vital factor for the greatersuccess and happinesa'of the individual, man or woman, no matter what his or her present sta- tism may be, and no matter in what field of endeavor his or her 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 man 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 hopb to eompete withthose 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. ,fiuimum 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) rho 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 coats snakes possible the minimum of expense. As the lion. ,Join S. Martin, pro- vincial minister of agriculture, re- cently declared before an audience representative of the rural districts of Western Ontario, "but for the existence of The University of West- ern Ontario in the very heart of the community, a university education would be impossible for many who are now able to benefit by it. Higher living costs alone, in Toronto for in- stance, would add from one hundred to :two hundred dollars a year to the cost of sending a son or daughter to the university there, Moreover, in London, students are within a short distance of their homes, a fact of mucic importance to parents, and as London is not a large city in the ordinary sense, it is free from the many distractions of a great metro- polis." l3ut, 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, but through its Influence upon the trend of public affairs generally that the university today is indis- pensable, 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 Faculty and Insti- tute of Public Health alone serves upward of 180 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 o$ Medfetne, officially recog- nized as in the first class among institutions of the kind on this con- fluent, is felt throughout the West ern Ontailodistrict and beyond. Its contributions to medical and surgical knowledge and practice, thorough re, search and study aro internationally. notable, and its accumulation of the best and latest in understanding and methods from the great medical and surgical centres of the world gives to it a value to the people of west- ern Ontario that is beyond estimate, , To both the urban and rural com- munities of Western Ontario, the work of the Department oC Exten- sion and Adult Education and of the Summer School and Extra Mural De- partment is of far-reaching import- ance. These departments do not wait for the student to coma to them; they tarry the elements of university training and study into tile homes of those who are prevented by circum- stances 'from attending the regular courses, or who desire to take up one or other form of special study. Hun- dreds of individuals in all 'walks of life are benefiting by this sorvlee every year, and annually' the scope; of the work is being extended. In Agriculture And of particular importance to the rural citizens is the. University's• work inagricultural research. Al- ready this work has obtained wide recognition and is about to be ex -1 tended in keeping with present-day' indications of what lies ahead, for it has been forecast on the basis of definite evidence in that direction that Western Ontario in the near fu- ture is to experience an intensive de -i 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, eirsciency. During that half -century it has been confronted by and has! 4. overcome many obstacles, some ofi' which have at times, threatened its very .life. But it has never before. sought •the help of those whom le has served beyond the circle of itst 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 whom, it servos mast 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 London is bearing a fair, Sham of that responsibility, and the. Deople of London are assuming their' share as individuals and as a conn-; snnnity, The share of each of the, fourteen counties of Western On-, tarso has been aoundly established,' and the governinent, the leaders ins tate religious, . educational, agricul-1 tural, industrial and social life .of, the whole district of Western On-. tario have expressed tltoinselves as, confident' that the citizens of West- ern Ontario' counties will see Ineum-; bent,ttpon themselves the?moral re- sponsibility and -the material neves sity for making certain that the 'University that Is theirs stink not falter for want of their understand- ing did action,
