'REFACE,
The- object contemplated by this work is twofold in its nature,
namely : to furnish the friends of McGill College with a reliable
account of its origin and subsequent progress ; and to supply
additional information upon the subject of Canadian Numismatics.
I have, therefore, employed the utmost care, and directed an un-
remitting attention, to comprehend what is most important and
interesting in the subject before me. To attain this end, I have
had recourse to " Articles on the Colleges of Canada," by Hon.
P. J. O. Cheauveau ; " Biographical Sketch of Mr. McGill," with
other works by Principal Dawson ; the Reports of the Governors ;
and the records of the College.
With these advantages, I have endeavored to seize on the
general outline of the history, and to fill it up with the most
material subordinate notices selected from these sources, and I
desire to acknowledge, that in many instances, instead of assuming
originality by clothing the thoughts and opinions of others in my
own expression, I prefer employing their own language, and I
therefore resign to them the approbation due to their talents,
desiring no further credit than such as may be thought due
to my exertions in collecting and arranging the material for
the work.

INTRODUCTION.
' ' Learning by study must be won ;
'Twas ne'er entailed from sire to son." Gay,
The developement of the faculties or germs of power in man,
and the training of them into harmonious action in obedience to
the laws of reason and morality, is what is comprehended in the
term education. Yet education not only aims at the developement
and culture of the child as an individual, but is also the means by
which every rising generation is put in possession of all the attain-
ments of preceding generations. In the earliest ages, the entire
education and culture of the people were in the hands of priests,
who were the first founders of institutions, the first statesmen,
judges, physicians and astronomers, and it is only in the most
highly civilized communities that science has been separated from
religion, and teaching made a distinct profession. Even in these,
learning and schools are often to a greater or less extent, more or
less directly, under the patronage and care of religious bodies,
since religion Jias been esteemed by all nations the highest interest
of society.
On the antiquity of schools it is not necessary to dilate.
We read in Sacred Writ of a " School of Prophets " under the
supervision of the prophet Samuel. Passing to later dates, we
learn that the early culture of the Egyptians was such that the
Greeks derived from them their first lessons in science and philoso-
phy, and from them the Israelites obtained the knowledge which
enabled them to measure and " divide the land." The inscriptions
on their monuments also prove an early knowledge of geometry,
astronomy, mensuration and surveying in Egypt.
It is impossible to fix the period when universities, in the
modern acceptation of the term, were first established. When
Charlemagne ascended the throne of France, we are told that no
j means of education existed in his dominions ; and, in order to
restore in some degree the spirit of letters, he invited strangers
from other countries where learning was not so thoroughly extin-
guished With the help of these he established schools in different
cities of his empire ; and all the power and influence of the court
were employed in forwarding his endeavors.
By degrees the light of science began to shine more brightly ;
and teachers, whose genius enabled them to rise above their
fellows, and to overstep the narrow bounds to which they had
been restricted, arose in various places, and their lectures were
attended by crowds of admiring listeners. The success of one
teacher invited others to the same field, and the large number of
scholars who frequented the school of an admired expounder of
some new or favorite question,, afforded ample room for the exertion
of his talent and ingenuity.
It was in this manner that particular schools obtained a perma-
nent celebrity, and that those associations of teachers were formed
which were afterwards recognized by the civil and ecclesiastical
power, and ultimately dignified with the name of " Universities."
The oldest of the European universities, (said to have been founded
by Charlemagne,) was that of Paris, whose form and constitution
were in a great measure adopted by the founders of the two great
English universities, Oxford and Cambridge, which till within the
last half century were the only universities in England.
At a very early date in the history of America, the colonists
directed attention to the importance of education. Six years
after the first settlement had been made in the New England
States, the following entry appears in their records, under date of
October 28th, 1636; "the court agreed to give 4oo/. toward a
sehoale or colledge, whereof 2oo/. to bee paid the next yeare, and
2oo/. when the work is finished." Such is the origin of Harvard
college, the oldest and most amply endowed educational institution
of the United States. Four years prior to this date, the Jesuit
Fathers had opened at Quebec a school, which has since become
a flourishing college, and in 1657 the seminary of St. Sulpice was
founded at Montreal. Twenty-seven years after the conquest of
Canada (1787), Lord Dorchester, governor of the old province of
Quebec,, appointed a commission to enquire into the subject of
education, but no action of importance was taken until 1802,
when the "Royal Institution for the advancement of learning"
was legally incorporated. Among the many who took a lively
interest in the measures taken by the government towards the
formation of this board was Mr. James McGill, who has handed
down his name to posterity as the founder of the noble institution,
a b/ief history of which will be given in this work.
jVLcGiLL COLLEGE AND ITS /AEDALS.
James McGill was born in Glasgow, Scotland, on the 6th of
October, 1744, and received his early training and education in
that country. Like many of his countrymen, he emigrated, when
a young man to the new world, in search of fortune. He settled
in Montreal and engaged successfully in mercantile pursuits. On
the 2nd of December, 1776, he married Charlotte Guillemin,
(daughter of the late Guillaume Guillemin, in his lifetime councillor
of the King of France in Canada, lieutenant-general of the admi-
ralty of Quebec, and judge of the court of prerogatives,) widow of
the late Frangois Amable Trottier Des Rivieres.
Mr. McGill's long residence in Montreal, his integrity, public
spirit and practical good sense, gained for him the confidence of
his fellow-citizens, and he was elected their representative in
parliament. He was subsequently appointed a member of the
legislative and executive councils, and during the war of 1812
acted as a colonel and brigadier-general of militia.
Mr. McGill is described by his contemporaries as a man of
tall and commanding figure in his youth a very handsome man,
but becoming corpulent in his old age. He was a prominent
member of the association of fur magnates known as the " Beaver
Club." A reminiscence of a gentlemen, then resident in Montreal,
represents him, when a very old man, at one of the meetings sing-
ing a voyagcur's song with accurate ear and sonorous voice, and
imitating, paddle in hand, the action of the bow-man of a "North
canoe " in ascending a rapid. But though taking his full share in
the somewhat jovial social life of that early time, Mr. McGill was
always esteemed a temperate man, and was distinguished for his
charity, his sound judgment, and his kindness of heart. The
remembrance of another contemporary represents him as much
given to reading and full of varied^ information ; and it is certain
that he cultivated and enjoyed the society of the few men of leam<
ing from the mother country then in the colony. He died in
Montreal, on the i9th December, 1813, at the age of sixty-nine
years.
Not having any children, he had determined to devote a large
portion of his fortune to some object of benevolence connected
with his adopted country; and in his last will, made two years
before his decease, he set apart his beautifully situated estate of
Burnside, on the slope of the Montreal mountain, with a sum of
^10,000, for the foundation of a university, one of the colleges of
which was to be named the McGill college. In this connection it
may be stated that Mr. McGill's resolution to dispose of his pro-
perty in this way was not a hasty death-bed resolve, but a mature
and deliberate decision. He had taken a lively interest in the
measures then before the Government for the establishment of an
educational system in the province of Quebec, and had mentioned,
many years before his death, his intention to give, during his life-
time, a sum of twenty thousand dollars in aid of a college, if these
measures should be carried out by the Government. But many
delays occurred. Unfortunately the relatives of Mr. McGill's widow
were induced to dispute the validity of the will, and a protracted
litigation ensued, which was not terminated till 1835; though in
1829 the landed property had been surrendered, and in the same
year the college was formally organized under a Royal charter which
had been obtained in 1821 in anticipation of the issue of the dispute
respecting the endowment. The management of the endowment
was to be confided to the " Royal Institution for the advancement
of learning," and the bequest was to take effect on condition that
there should be erected, within ten years, on the estate of Burnside,
" a university or college for the purposes of education and the
advancement of learning in this province, with a competent number
of professors and teachers to render such establishment effectual
and useful for the purposes intended."
Under the charter, the governor of Lower Canada, the
lieutenant-governor of Upper Canada, the bishop of Quebec, the
chief justice of Montreal, the chief justice of Upper Canada, and
the principal, were ex-officio governors of the college, and were to
elect its officers, and in conjunction with the fellows to constitute
the corporation of the University, for the framing of its statutes
and general management of its affairs. The Royal Institution
was to retain a visitorial authority.
The college entered on its existence with much apparent
vigor and promise of success. The opening ceremony was held
in Burnside House, the former residence of the founder, and was
largely attended. The first step toward the establishment of a
University, was the organization in 1829 f tne Faculty of Arts and
the Medical Faculty. The former met with many difficulties and
made little progress ; but on the day of the inauguration the latter
was accomplished by the union with it of the Montreal Medical
Institute, which had already four professors, and an established
reputation.
In 1835 Dr. Mountain, Principal of the University, resigned,
and was succeeded by Rev. Dr. Bethune. In 1839 the erection -
of suitable buildings was commenced, and on yth September, 1843,
they were formally opened. In the erection of these buildings
the governors had found it necessary to expend a large portion of
the available means of the University, an outlay which the founder
had never calculated upon, as he had given his enuowment under
the expectation that in accordance with the provisions of the act,
large grants of land would have been placed at the disposal of
the Royal Institution to supplement his bequest, as well as to
provide for the general interests of education. This, however,
the legislature failed to do, and the governors were unable at that
early period to obtain from the landed property any considerable
amount of income. The charter also had many defects, and was
altogether too cumbrous. These with other disadvantages long
rendered the efforts of the board of little avail, and for many
years the University lingered on with little real growth. This
languishing condition was a subject of deep regret and uneasiness
to the friends of education in Montreal, but there appeared to be
no practicable means of elevating it under the existing cl^Jter,
and with its want of a sufficient revenue.
At length, in 1850, a number of gentlemen determined to
grapple with these difficulties, and entered so heartily upon the
work, that in 1852 an amended charter was secured, under which
the managers began the labors of their trust. All useless expenses
PRINCE or WALES
were at once stopped. The only salary continued was one of a
small amount to the vice-principal, which was necessary in order
to prevent the college doors from being closed. An act was
obtained empowering them to sell portions of the real estate
bequeathed by Mr. McGill for a perpetual ground rent, with per-
mission to mortgage the college property in security for a loan to
the amount of ,3,000. Under this law, sales were effected of a
sufficient extent of the college lands to yield, when added to the
former income, a revenue of 900. Application was also made
to the legislature for pecuniary aid, and the sum of 1,300 was
granted. In this way they were enabled to make arrangements
for avoiding immediate pressure, and an opportunity was given to
begin the work of providing an efficient and liberal course of
instruction.
In 1853 the High school of Montreal was incorporated with
McGill college, and became a distinct department of that institu-
tion. In the year 1854 an urgent appeal was made to the provin-
cial government for liberal pecuniary assistance. The result was
partially successful, but the sums received were very much less
than those specified in the petition.
In 1846 Dr. Bethune resigned the principalship, and was
succeeded by E. A. Meredith, Esq., who likewise resigned in 1853,
when the Hon. C. I). Day, LL D., was appointed under the new
charter. He resigned in 1855, and Dr. Dawson was elected to the
position which he still retains.
In consequence of the want of substantial support from the
government, the governors determined to obtain assistance from
other sources. An appeal was consequently made in December
of the year 1856, to the Protestant population of Montreal, and
was met as such appeals always have been by its leading citizens,
in a spirit of unrestrained generosity. An endowment fund of
15,000 was subscribed, of which sum 5,000 were given by the
Messrs. Molson, for founding a chair of English Literature.
In 1858 the legislature was again appealed to for aid, but
without result, and although more than one of the gentlemen who
then formed the Provincial Administration, rendered valuable aid,
nevertheless, the paramount object of a permanent public endow
ment was not accomplished.
The inconvenience and difficulty arising from the want of
room for carrying on the business of the University was not imfre-
quently a subject of conversation among the Governors, and
regrets were often expressed that no means were available for
adding to the College Buildings. It was therefore a joyful surprise
to the Board when, at a meeting held in 1861, W. Molson, Esq.,
announced to his colleagues his intention of building a new wing.
The work had scarcely commenced ere he determined to build
not only the wing but also the connecting corridors, thus com-
pleting the range of buildings according to the original plan, and
in the afternoon of the loth of October, 1862, the "William
Molson Hall " was inaugurated in the presence of His Excellency
Right Honorable Viscount Monck, Governor General, and a large
and brilliant assemblage of officials and citizens.
In the following year (1863) additional advantages were
afforded to the students in the organization of a course of Prac-
tical Chemistry, under Dr. Sterry Hunt ; and by the fall of the
same year the Observatory, under Dr. Smallwood, was in full ope-
ration. The session which closed in May, 1864, was marked by
an event of importance in the history of tbe University, namely,
the affiliation of Morrin College, Quebec, which also sent up 1 1
students, who passed the intermediate examinations. During the
same year there was a large increase in the number of medals to
be offered to the Graduating Class in Arts. For some years there
had been only the medal founded by Mr. Chapman, and subse-
quently that founded by H. R. H. the Prince of Wales ; and the
number of rewards being less than that of honor subjects, a cer-
tain injustice was done to one or other of these in alternate years.
This difficulty was now removed, and in this matter the University
was placed on an equality with any other in America. In 1865
the affiliation of the Congregational Theological College of British
North America was announced. As the University is constituted
it cannot establish a Theological Chair, but Theological Colk-vs
may be affiliated with it, and this was the first step taken towards
the full realization of the usefulness of the University as a non-
denominational yet Christian institution.
The Congregational College had been engaged under the
able management of the Rev. Adam Lillie, D.D., during twenty
years, in training a succession of young men for the ministry in
the denomination of Christians whose name it bears. Removed
to Montreal in 1864, and incorporated by Act of Parliament, it
sought and obtained union with the University, in order that its
Alumni might have the advantages of the curriculum in the
Faculty of Arts, and that it might expend its own strength upon
an immediate professional culture. The year 1866 saw the com-
pletion of a work which had occupied the attention of the Board
of Governors during a period of fifteen years. Their aim had
been to render the estate bequeathed by Mr. McGill, productive
to the University, and by the skill and care with which they had
administered their important trust, a revenue was being derived
from the whole of the property, with the exception of the portion
necessarily reserved for the College grounds. While this position
of comparative financial prosperity was most satisfactory to the
friends of the University, still so far as pecuniary means were con-
cerned, the limit of the resources furnished by the McGill endow-
ment had been reached, and the future growth and improvement
of the College became dependent on the further benefactions of
its friends, and more particularly so from the fact, that there ap-
peared but little hope that the Government of the Province would
prove sufficiently just or wise to redeem some of the pledges of
public endowment made to the University, and thus remove the
reproach of being the only one of the greater colonies of the
empire in either the Northern or Southern hemisphere that had
made no permanent provision for the support of the higher educa-
tion. The slow increase of the library was also a cause of solici-
tude, as it had been from the first the policy of the Governors to
endeavour to gather the material of scientific culture and general
learning, as well as of the more elementary education of young
men. Nothing could, therefore, have proved more acceptable
than the gift made by Mr. P. Redpath of a collection of historical
works bearing on the history of England, and which was the first
donation of a collection of books on any single subject. In 1867
the Museum and Philosophical apparatus received large and valu-
able additions. The apparatus for experimental physics had for
a long time required additions, more especially with reference to
the more recent departments of scientific research. To remove
*-*^-* ^--^. ^*-N
this difficulty, seven members of the Board of Governors sub-
scribed the sum of $1,950, and a number of most valuable instru-
ments were procured, thus placing the means of illustration in this
department abreast of the requirements of the time.
The museum was also enriched by the liberal donation of
the " Carpenter collection " of shells. Dr. Carpenter having
brought with him to this country his large and valuable general
collection of shells, the result of thirty-three years of labour, and
containing materials for the study of recent and fossil Conchology,
probably not equalled by any similar collection on this continent,
liberally offered to present this collection to the University, on
condition that the expense of mounting and arranging the shells,
or $2,000, should be defrayed by the University. This offer the
Corporation ventured to accept, believing that in doing so it
would confer an important benefit on the cause of scientific edu-
cation and on all students of Zoology and Geology, not only in
connection with the University, but throughout the country ; and
a subscription was commenced with the view of realizing the sum
required, and also a similar sum to provide proper accommodation
for the collection in a fire-proof apartment.
During this session the University adopted in the Fac-
ulty of Medicine the standard of examinations for matriculation
recommended by the Council of Medical Education in Great Brit-
ain, thereby raising the standard of the Literary qualifications of
candidates for the degree of medicine. In the report of the Board
of Governors for the year, reference was made to the fact that no
means had been placed at the disposal of the University for afford-
ing aids in the way of bursaries and scholarships to deserving
students. To those familiar with the importance attached to such
stimuli in the mother country and elsewhere, and with the vast
sums paid in aids and encouragements to students, it appears
surprising that the success achieved by the University had been
attained without any of these advantages, and it was evident that
could they be provided still greater results might be obtained.
The attention of the public having been directed to this im-
portant subject, some were found ready to adopt the suggestion,
and Mrs. Redpath, of Terrace Bank, by her liberal gift of $100
annually for an exhibition in the Faculty of Arts, secured the
honor of taking the lead in the matter. The example thus set
was promptly followed by the members of the Board of Governors
who, by a private subscription among themselves, established a
scholarship of similar amount. One of the graduates having
forwarded a cheque for $100 as an offering of gratitude to his
Alma Mater from his first professional earning, with the request
that it might be employed in the manner most likely to be useful,
led to the suggestion that it might be made the nucleus of a
Graduate's exhibition. This idea was followed up with success,
thus making an era in the history of the University that in which
its own sons return to pour into its own treasury the tribute of
their affection and gratitude. While private citizens were thus
rendering valuable aid, the Legislature of the Province of Quebec
had adopted, with reference to the grants to superior education, a
principle which tended to further diminish the slender aids received
by the University, under the former Constitution of Canada.
A clause of the new Educational Act enacted that all State aids
to superior education should be divided into two portions, accord-
ing to population. Under this arrangement, the English and
Protestant minority, who have more important and useful institu-
tions relatively to their numbers, though not relatively to their
wealth and intelligence, and to the amount they contribute to the
revenue, receive very little assistance from the annual grants,
while all the large public endowments, granted by the liberality
of past governments, remain in the hands of the majority.
During the many years in which Dr. Dawson has been con-
nected with the University, he has never ceased to urge the im-
portance attached to the establishment of a school of practical
science, and many attempts have been made to organize and
sustain courses of Engineering and Agriculture, with little success,
the limited means of the University not allowing it to sustain the
necessary chairs in addition to those of its regular academical
course. The liberal benefactions and strenuous efforts in behalf
of this object in connection with the Universities of the United
States, Great Britain and the Continent of Europe, still more
strongly attracted attention to the want of schools of practical
science in Canada, and the injury resulting therefrom to the in-
terests of the young men and to the progress of the productive
industries of the country.
A committee was accordingly appointed to collect informa-
tion and to urge upon the Government of the Province of Quebec
the importance of extending some assistance at least to Schools
of Engineering, Mining, Practical Chemistry and Metallurgy, in
connection with the means in aid of such schools already in pos-
session of the University. It was felt by the Corporation that
nothing could be more conducive to the material prosperity of
the country than the institution of such means of education.
A memorial on this subject was submitted to the Govern-
ment of Quebec, and Principal Dawson visited some of the most
eminent scientific schools in the United States with the view of
enabling the Governors to profit by their experience.
On the subject of a school of Mining more especially, the
views of the Board were communicated to the Director of the
Geological Survey for the information of the Dominion Govern-
ment ; and the assistance of the University was offered in regard
to lectures, class rooms, apparatus, museum, examinations and
diplomas, in event of such a school being established in Montreal.
In the meantime the University continued to give, as for as
its means permitted, such training in practical geology and allied
subjects, as might fit students for entering technical schools of
mining.
The Education Bill, passed by the Legislature of Quebec,
having apparently terminated all hope of an increased public
provision for the higher education in the Province, and the rev-
enues of the University, derived from its private endowments,
being barely sufficient for its ordinary expenditure, without per-
mitting any of that growth and extension which are so desirable,
it was decided by the Board of Governors again to appeal to the
citizens of Montreal, and to endeavour to obtain an additional
subscription sufficient to enable the College to retain the re-
mainder of Mr. McGill's estate for College purposes.
This subscription was solicited more especially as an aid to the
general funds of the University, or for the endowment of existing
chairs, or for scholarships and exhibitions, without excluding any
special benefactions for other purposes which might be offered by
the friends of education. It was estimated that a capital sum of
$150,000 would satisfy all the immediate requirements of the
University and enable it to extend and improve its operations in
many very important respects.
Accordingly on the zoth of February, 1870, a meeting of the
friends of the University was held, and was attended by a large
number of influential citizens. Chancellor Day, in his opening
remarks, stated that " an increase of the endowment fund had
now become a matter of necessity, and that in the future little
was to be expected from the Government. They had done some-
thing and might continue to do so for a time, subject, however,
to gradual dimunition. There were two means of obtaining an
endowment, one of which was the sale of the University Park,
which is indispensable to the College, and he believed the
citizens would not allow it to be further reduced. The only
course to adopt was to apply to the Protestant population, and
the meeting had been called to consider how this could be done,
and to solicit the aid of those gentlemen present'. A few years
ago an appeal had been made to the public, and it was followed
by such results as showed that they had confidence in the un-
dertaking. He did not think that the people would refuse their
aid to an institution which since then had such an honourable
career.
The addresses made by others tended to shew that not
only were they impressed with the importance of the questions
presented, but were determined that strenuous efforts should be
at once put forth to relieve the University from its embarrassing
position. Resolutions were adopted to the effect
" That the growth of the country in political importance, and
the increase of the Protestant population, has rendered necessary
a change and enlargement in the provisions for its advancement
in knowledge and mental culture ; and that an increase is re-
quired in the means we have hitherto possessed, for giving to our
youth a liberal scholastic training."
" That with a view to meet the educational wants above re-
ferred to, the present endowment of McGill University ought to
be increased so as to place it upon a footing of permanent in-
dependence, and enable it to extend its work according to the re-
quirements of the time, and upon an equality with educational
institutions abroad."
" That an appeal be made to those interested in the cause of
higher education among Protestants, for their aid and contribu-
tions toward the important object of increasing the endowment of
the McGill College, and that a committee be appointed to take
measures for prosecuting such appeal, and for obtaining subscrip-
tions."
The committee appointed in accordance with these resolu-
tions, at once entered upon their duties, and during the year the
subscription reached the amount of $57,667, without reckoning
sums contributed for scholarships, amounting to $1,900 yearly.
Mr. VVm. Molson added to his former gifts a donation of $4,000,
to constitute the nucleus of a library fund.
One marked effect of these subscriptions was the stimulus
given to students by the scholarships and exhibitions which
were instituted. These not only swelled the numbers, but stimu-
lated in a great degree the exertions of students. The prizes
also exercise a most healthful effect on the high schools and
academies, and enables many young men of ability and industry
to secure that higher education which opens up avenues of use-
fulness and honor for themselves and for their country.
At the meeting held to promote the subscription, a resolution
was passed requesting the University to consider the question of
the higher education of women. This resolution was not lost
sight of, and among those who felt deep interest, none took more
active steps than Dr. Dawson toward securing its fulfilment by
informing himself of the movements in this direction elsewhere.
In the mother country the Universities of Cambridge and Edin-
burgh had already, through some of their most eminent officers,
entered into this work, and classes had also been established
successfully in this country, in Toronto, in Kingston and in
Quebec.
The McGill University had not received any funds for this
purpose, but a subscription was started in 1871 among the lady
pupils of the late Miss Lyman to establish a memorial to that
eminently useful and gifted lady, in the way she herself would, no
doubt, have chosen above all others a permanent endowment to
promote the object for which she labored so long and successfully.
In the meantime an Association was formed for the higher
education of women, on the plan of that in Edinburgh, with the
view of providing lectures in the first instance, and eventually of
establishing a college for ladies in connection with the University.
In accordance with a decision of the Provisional Committee of
this Association, held on the loth May, 1871, at Belmont Hall, the
residence of Mrs. Molson, four courses of lectures were delivered
to the members and students of the Association during the session
which closed in May, 1872. In addition to the regular instruc-
tion, the ladies had the great advantage of two lectures on English
history from Professor Goldwin Smith. To these lectures ladies
not connected with the Association were admitted by purchased
tickets, it being thought right to allow all who desired it the
privilege of access. Lectures were also delivered by Prof. P. J.
Darey on French Literature, Rev. Prof. Cornish on the English
Language, and Dr. T. Sterry Hunt on Chemical and Physical
Geology.
The inaugural lecture was delivered by Principal Dawson on
the 3rd of October, 1871. The moneys subscribed to the " Han-
nah Willard Lyman Memorial Fund," is to be annually awarded,
as may be recommended by the Governors of the University. For
the session of 1872^73, it is disposed of as follows :
1. The income to be divided into two equal prizes to be
given to the regular students, who having passed creditably in
the subjects of examination before Christmas, shall take the
highest marks in the first class in the written examinations in one
of the subjects at the end of the session.
2. The lecturers to be examiners, and the answers of the
successful candidates to be transmitted to the Corporation of the
University, with the reports of the examiners.
3. The prizes to be given in books properly inscribed.
The- success which attended the first year's working of the
Association was very gratifying to those interested, and should
the proposed scheme be carried out for the erection in the course
of a few years of a college for ladies, where an academical course
can be pursued suitable to themselves and different in some
respects from that taken by ordinary college students, there can
be no doubt that the advantages afforded to ladies anxious to
follow the higher branches of study will be very great.
In 1871, the High School was transferred by the Governors
of the University to the Protestant Board of School Commis-
sioners for the city of Montreal. For 18 years this school had
been efficiently carried on under the direction of the University,
and many of the pupils had passed therefrom to the College and
had graduated with the highest honors. Since assuming charge
of the school, the Commissioners have sustained its reputation.
During this year a plan for the establishing of a department
of Practical Science was laid before the public, and an impetus
was given to the same by a liberal donation of $5,000 from
Daniel Torrance, Esq., of New York.
The courses of study in this Department are designed to
afford a complete preliminary training of a Technical as well as a
Theoretical nature, for such students as are preparing to enter
any of the various branches of the professions of Engineering and
Surveying, or are destined to be engaged in Assaying, Practical
Chemistry and the higher forms of Manufacturing Art.
Three distinct courses of study are provided, each of which
extends over three, or under certain conditions two years, and
specially adapted to the prospective pursuits of the student.
(1) Civil and Mechanical Engineering.
(2) Assaying and Mining.
(3) Practical Chemistry.
The Degrees conferred by the University upon such Under-
graduates of this Department as shall 'fulfil the conditions and
pass the examinations are in the first instance " Bachelor of Ap-
plied Science," mention being made in the Diplomas of the
particular course of study pursued ; and subsequently the degrees
of " Master of Engineering " on those who have pursued Course
ist, and of " Master of Applied Science " on those who have
pursued either of the remaining courses.
In 1872, the Caledonian Society inaugurated a movement
towards founding a " Scott Bursary Fund," to substantially com-
memorate the Scott centenary. The sum of $1,100 was subscribed
and handed over to the College, to be invested as a fund for the
establishment of an exhibition of English Literature, and is now
open to students in the Department of Science who have passed
the examinations of the middle year. Sir Win. Logan, also, by a
gift of $20,000, endowed a chair of Geology, to be known as
the Logan Chair, and at the same time named Principal Dawson
as the first Logan Professor. This munificent act was the closing
event of importance in the history of the University.
Mr. McGilFs bequest has been the foundation upon which,
in various ways, has been built up an Institution second to none
in the Province for the numbers it educates and the aid it affords
to the growing intelligence of a large portion of the population.
Alone, that bequest, munificent as it was, was inadequate to such
a result. But it has awakened the zeal and stimulated the efforts
of others, and produced a kindred generosity which has shown
itself in the unstinted contributions already noticed.
The support which the University has received from the
citizens of Montreal is not without significance and high promise.
It shows them to be men not penurious and locally selfish, but
nobly generous in their views ; and the fact that so many hun-
dreds of young men from all parts of Canada have enjoyed, and
are enjoying, the benefits of their liberality, has in it a double
promise of more liberal and united public sentiment in Canada
for the time to come. Further, the interest which the business
men of this commercial metropolis take in the work is an evidence
of its practical value, and a pledge that in this country the higher
learning will not be dissociated from the active pursuits of life.
Still further, it marks the McGill University as a spontaneous
growth of the British Canadian mind, something which has
originated here, and been nurtured and matured here, and not a
thing of extraneous origin.
In its religious aspect the University is not denominational.
It does not profess to work for one body of Christians more
than for another. But it is Christian and Protestant. The An-
glican, the Catholic, the Protestant dissenter of whatever name,
and the Israelite, here meet on a footing of the most perfect
equality. It is neither a proselytizing institution on the one
hand, nor an irreligious one on the other. It endeavours to
secure the services of men of high religious and moral character,
and to exercise through them the best influence on its students.
It daily invites its students to supplicate the Divine blessing on
their work, and it requires them to avail themselves of the means
of spiritual advantage to be found in their several communions.
Its influence is thus positively religious, and is exercised in such a
way as to unite the members of different denominations in love
and harmony.
A measure of the success attending the College is due to the
assiduous devotion and good judgment of the gentleman who fills
the position of Principal and Vice-Chancellor, on whom the im-
mediate educational management devolves. While his administra-
tion of the affairs of the College has demanded the greater portion
of his time, Dr. Dawson has, nevertheless, won for himself a wide-
spread fame as an author of several scientific works of great value,
beside a number of essays published in the transactions of scien-
tific bodies, or in pamphlet form.
FACULTY OF M.EDICINE.
ABOUT the year 1823, conscious of the want, experienced in
this Province by Medical Students, of lectures on the different
branches of Medical study, Dr. A. F. Holmes, together with Drs.
Robertson, Stephenson, and Caldwell, organized themselves into
a body, and, under the name of the Medical Institution of
Montreal, they delivered, for the first time in 1824, forming the
session of 1824^25, a course of lectures, which were recognized
by the University of Edinburgh afterwards, on the principle of
two courses for one of that University. In 1828 this Institution
became merged into the University of McGill College. The first
lectures were delivered as follows : Dr. Holmes, on Chemistry
and Materia Medica ; Dr. Stephenson, on Anatomy, Physiology,
and Surgery ; Dr. Robertson, on Midwifery and the diseases of
women and children ; and Dr. Caldwell, on the Principles and
Practice of Medicine. The death of Dr. Caldwell in 1832,
necessitated a change and Dr. Robertson was appointed Professor
of Medicine, while Dr. Racey was annexed as Professor of Surgery
and Midwifery, Dr. Stephenson still continuing to discharge the
duties of the Chair of Anatomy and Physiology. On the retire-
ment of Dr. Racey from Montreal to Quebec in 1835, Drs. Geo. W.
Campbell and Hall were associated, the former lecturing inde-
pendently on Surgery and Midwifery, and the latter sharing Dr.
Holmes' duties and delivering under him the course of Materia
Medica, after which session that course was delivered over ex-
clusively to the latter.
During this period of time the annual attendance of students
was gradually augmenting, and the fact, together with the further
division of the branches of Medical study in Great Britain, deter-
mined at the decease of Dr. Robertson in 1 844, a further augmen-
tation of lectures correspondent with an increased number of
Chairs. We accordingly find at this juncture, Dr. Holmes called
to the Chair of the Principles and Practice of Medicine; Dr.
Chas. Sewell, appointed to the Chair of Materia Medica; Dr.
Bruneau, to the Chair of Anatomy ; Dr. Hall, to the Chair of
Chemistry; Dr. Crawford, to that of Clinical Medicine and
Surgery ; Dr. McCulloch, to that of Midwifery ; and Dr. Fraser,
to that of Institutes of Medicine, while Dr. Campbell still retained
his Chair of Surgery. Since that period several changes and
additions have been made, as appears in the staff of Professors at
present. At the new organization of the University, Dr. Holmes
was appointed Dean of the Faculty, and he continued to dis-
charge, until the day of his death, (October 9, 1860,) the vari-
ous duties which devolved upon him with a rare fidelity. Dr.
G. W. Campbell became his successor and still continues to fill
the position for which he is eminently qualified and which is
unquestionably his due from his long and faithful services to the
Faculty.
McGill University having been included among the Univer-
sities recognized by the Medical Council of Great Britain and
Ireland, its degree has accordingly been registered by that Council,
thereby conferring upon graduates of the University the same
privileges as Physicians or Surgeons of Great Britain.
The class tickets for the various courses are accepted as
qualifying candidates for examination before the Universities and
Colleges of Great Britain and Ireland, and also before the Medical
Boards of the Army and Navy.
To meet the circumstances of General Practitioners in British
North America, where there is no division of the profession into
Physicians and Surgeons exclusively, the degree awarded upon
graduation is that of "Doctor of Medicine and Master in Surgery."
This designation is also appropriate, from agreeing with the general
nature and equable character of the previous curriculum demanded
of the candidates for this double rank. The degree is received
by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Lower Canada, and
by the Council of Medical Education and Registration of Upper
Canada.
The ample and varied means which are placed at the disposal
of the student by this school, together with the large hospitals in
connection with it, render it second to no Medical School in
America.
The Library contains upwards of 4,000 volumes, including
the most useful books for reference, as well as the most elementary
ones ; the works of the older authors as well as the most recent.
It is open to the Students without charge, under necessary regula-
tions for the care of books. The Museum contains a large
number of preparations, chiefly Pathological ; also, wax and papier
machd models.
The Montreal General Hospital is visited every day by the
Medical Officers in attendance. After the visit a large number of
out-door patients are examined and prescribed for.
The Operating Room (used also for a lecture room) is so
constructed as to suit the convenience of the students in obtaining
a good view of the operations going on.
The University Lying-in-Hospital is under the direction of
the Professor of Midwifery. Students who have already attended
one course of his lectures are furnished with cases in rotation.
The Medical Faculty Prizes consist, first of the Holmes Gold
Medal, founded by the Faculty in honor of their late Dean, and
two prizes in Books for the best Primary and best Final Gradua-
tion Examination.
The building, at present occupied, has been for many years
too limited, and there is now in course of erection on the College
grounds a building suited in every particular and specially de-
signed to furnish ample accommodation for the rapidly increasing
number of students who flock to this popular School of Medicine.
JVL
EDALS.
Gold medals are but the gilding on the surface of a college
education, but they stimulate to a healthy emulation, and give to
deserving young men a memorial of early triumphs and an earnest
of success in life.
For many years McGill College had no such distinctions to
offer ; but this difficulty has been removed, and it can now take
its place on an equality with any American University.
First in order of time, a merchant of Montreal, Henry Chap-
man, Esq., founded (1857) a Gold Medal for an honor course in
Classical Literature and Languages. This medal has on its ob-
verse the God of Labor, with the motto : " Vere novo terra colenda
est" and in exergue " Grandcscunt aucta labor e." Reverse : A
wreath of laurel with College arms at the top. Inside of wreath,
" Henricus Chapman, donavit" Outside : " Universitas Collcgii
McGill Monte Rcgio"
In 1860, His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, among other
donations, handed over to the College authorities the sum of ^200,
which was applied to the foundation of a Gold Medal, to be called
the " Prince of Wales Gold Medal/' This medal is for an honor
course in Logic and Mental and Moral Philosophy. Obverse :
Head to right " Albertus Edvardus artium liberalium fautor
Canada visa D. 1860." Reverse : Arms of College with maple
and oak wreath " Universitas McGill Monte Regio"
In 1864, Mrs. Molson offered to the University a Gold
Medal for Mathematics and Physical Sciences, and the " ANNE
MOLSON MEDAL " forms a graceful link of connection with the
College to a name already noted for liberality. More than
this, as coming from a lady's hand, it is a mark of the interest
which an educated and thoughtful woman takes in the higher
education, and of the sympathy which a mother feels with the
struggles of the sons of other Canadian mothers to earn honour-
able distinction. This medal is of the following design : Ob-
verse Head of Newton to the left " Scientiis Mathcmatids et
Physicis Felicitcr excnltis" Reverse : A laurel wreath, between
the top leaves of which are the Molson arms (a shield bearing
.
six crescents). In centre of wreath " Anna Molson donavit"
Outside of wreath " Universitas McGill Monte Regio" "In
domino confide"
It has often been said, though little followed in practice, that
when we are called on to celebrate the memory of the' mighty
dead, we do this in the most rational and most fitting way by
helping and succouring their living representatives and successors,
by promoting the ends to which they devoted their lives, and by
striving ourselves and stimulating others to imitate whatever was
good or great in their examples. These were evidently the views
of those citizens of Montreal who founded the " THE SHAKSPERE
MEDAL." Whether regarded as an evidence of affection for the
University, as an inducement to the culture of our noble English
tongue, or as a means of honouring the memory of the great
dramatist, or as uniting all these motives and objects, it was most
honourable to them, and deserves to be widely known as one of
the happiest thoughts that occurred to any community in con-
nection with the Shakspere ter-centenary celebration. The design
chosen for this medal presents on the obverse a fine portrait of
Shakspere, with the simple inscription " Shakspere, 1564 1616."
The reverse bears a richly ornamented shield, with the College
arms above, and in the centre, " Shakspere tcr centenary 1864." A
ribbon which extends across the lower part of the shield is in-
scribed " For English Literature" On the outer circle surround-
ing the shield appears the title" McGill College, Montreal"
Not less appropriate was the foundation of " THE LOGAN
MEDAL " for Geology and Natural Science, which will forever
connect the name of the great Canadian geologist, a name itself
imperishable, with the successive aspirants to distinction in the
same honourable path who go forth from the University, and who
may uphold the reputation of this country in a subject in itself
second to no department of scientific study, and which is one of
the most important to the educated Canadian, and offers, more
than any other, avenues to scientific distinction and eminence.
The obverse bears a portrait of the donor, and the inscription
" Gulielmus E. Logan Eques. The reverse displays the College
arms between the top leaves of a maple wreath, within which is
inscribed " Universitas McGill Monte Rcgio? while on the outer
edge of the medal is placed the following " Ad Geologiam ct
Scientias Naturalcs excolendas Gul E, Logan eq. D. 1864."
In the following year (1865), the late John Torrance, Esq.,
of St. Antoine Hall, Montreal, founded, in memory of his wife, a
medal to be known as the " ELIZABETH TORRANCE GOLD MEDAL,"
for the best student of the graduating class in law, and more
especially for the highest proficiency in Roman law. It was but
natural that this medal should be given to the department of law
as a member of the family, Judge F. W. Torrance held for many
years the professorship of Roman law in connection with the
College. The design chosen for this medal is exceedingly ap-
propriate. A full face bust of Justinian with an ancient Roll
appears on the obverse, and above the bust is the name " Jus-
tinianus" while on the reverse are two palm branches encircling
the words " Universitas McGill, Prcemium in facilitate juris!' On
a ribbon which almost surrounds the medal is the inscription
" Ad nom Elizabeth Torrance perpetuand mar it Joannes Torrance
List. 1864."
During the same year the Faculty of Medicine founded a
medal in honor of the late Dean, Professor Holmes, of whom it
may be said that no man lived more conscientiously, and few
have died more beloved. This medal is a most deserving and
grateful tribute to the memory of departed worth, associated as it
is with the name of one who was the founder of the first medical
school in Canada, and who, for nearly forty years, remained
in connection therewith. The medal is given, annually, to the
best student in the graduating class in Medicine who shall under-
go a special examination in all the branches, whether primary or
final. On the obverse of the medal is the head of Hippocrates
with the named innOKPATS to the left. Reverse : The arms
of the College, and a wreath of laurel enclosing the words " Fac-
ultas medicines donavit" and encircling the whole is the inscription
" In memoriam Andrew F. Holmes, M.D., LL.D"
In addition to these there are also two medals awarded
to students in the High School and the Normal Schools. The
former is an annual gift from D. Davidson, Esq., of Edinburgh,
(formerly of Montreal). Owing to the altered circumstances of
the school, it is doubtful whether Mr. Davidson will continue the
gift. It is, however, to be hoped that he may yet decide to offer
the same as an incentive to those who may enter upon the course
of study prescribed by this school. The medal bears on the
obverse Minerva's head, and the motto : " Nil sine magno labor c."
Reverse : A wreath of laurel encircling the inscription " Hoc
prcemium ingenii bene culti Regies, schokz montis regalis donavit
D. Davidson tulit"
A medal known as " THE PRINCE OF WALES BRONZE MEDAL "
is provided for by a gift of His Royal Highness the Prince of
Wales, and is awarded to students in the Normal Schools of
Lower Canada. It bears on the obverse a bust of the Prince,
and on the reverse " Edvardus Albertus princeps cambrics pro-
vmtiam Canadensam fausta prcesentia honoratam perlustrans in
unaquaque normali schola prcemium in singolos annos munifice in
stituit A.D. MDCCCLX in schola mer et cons
A.D. 18 ."
The Governors' Scholarship of $100 to $120 annually, was founded by
subscription of members of the Board of Governors in 1869.
The Scott Exhibition founded by the Caledonian Society of Montreal, in
commemoration of the Centenarv of Sir Walter Scott, and endowed in 1872
with the sum of $1,100 subscribed by members of the Society, and other
citizens of Montreal. The Exhibition is given annually in the Department of
practical and applied Science.
There are eleven other Scholarships and Exhibitions, for which see
" Subscription in Progress."

AFFILIATED COLLEGES fy ^CHOOLS.
Students are matriculated in the University, and may pursue
their course of study, wholly in the affiliated College, or in part
therein, and in part in McGill College, and may come up to the
University Examinations on the same terms with the students of
McGill College. Affiliated Theological Colleges have the right
of obtaining for their students the advantage, in whole or in part,
of the course of study in arts, with such facilities in regard to
exemptions as may be agreed on.
JVLORRIN COLLEGE.
So called in honor of its Founder, is situated at Quebec, and
is affiliated in so far as regards degrees in arts and laws.
J$
T. ^FANCIS COLLEGE.
Is affiliated in so far as regards degrees in art. The College
is situated in Richmond, Township of Cleveland, Quebec.
The object of the Institution is to furnish facilities for lads
and young men to procure a thorough education. It comprises
a Collegiate and a Preparatory Department. The College Course
requires 4 years time, and embraces all the branches usually
pursued in other Colleges.
There is also a scientific course of 3 years, including all the
studies of the former, except the classics.
In the Preparatory Department are included those branches
usually required to fit young men for college, for teaching elemen-
tary schools, or for business.
The entire Institution is under the immediate management
of the Faculty, subject to the approval of a Board of Trustees.
CONGREGATIONAL COLLEGE OF J3RITISH NORTH
AMERICA.
This institution was formally opened at Toronto on the ist
September, 1840. The original name borne by it was " The Con-
gregational Academy," and it was under the joint management of
the Colonial Missionary Society and the Congregational Union of
Canada West. In 1842, the Union of Canada East resolved to
establish a " Congregational Institute of Eastern Canada," at
Montreal, embracing the two objects of a superior education on
Christian principles, and of training suitable young men for the
ministry. Committees of management were appointed, and Revs.
Drs. Carruthers (subsequently of Portland, Maine), and Wilkes,
were chosen Professors. In 1845, negotiations were opened with
the sub-committee for the Academy of the Union of Canada
West, for a junction of the two institutions. The latter body ac-
ceded to the proposal, and in 1 846 a Constitution prepared by the
Committee in Toronto was accepted by the two Unions, and the
name was changed to " The Canadian Congregational Theological
Institute." In 1860 another change was made. The Union of
Nova Scotia and New Brunswick having begun to look to
Canada for a supply of ministers, and "Gorham College" at Liver-
pool, N.S., having been closed, the name was changed to that by
which it is now known, and other alterations made, pertaining
chiefly to the course of study. In 1865 the College removed to
Montreal, and affiliated with McGill College. Rev. Dr. Lillie, who,
throughout a period of nearly 30 years, had been at the head of
the professional staff, died at Montreal in 1869, and was suc-
ceeded by Dr. Wilkes as Professor of Theology, Homiletics and
Church History, Rev. Dr. Cornish being Professor of Greek, &c.
The devotion of Dr. Cornish to the interests of the College is
shewn by the fact that his services are rendered gratuitously.
At present the sessions of the College are held in the class
rooms added for that purpose to Zion Church.
PRESBYTERIAN COLLEGE.
/ y
JHE ^F^ESBYTEF^AN COLLEGE OF
In connection with tJic Canada Presbyterian Clnirch,
was established in 1868, and thus far the hopes entertained by its
founders have been fully realized ; the work of the church in the
Province having been greatly strengthened and extended. The
attendance of students has been satisfactory, and during the College
sessions they render most valuable services in the city and
vicinity.
Hitherto the work of the College has been carried on in rooms
in Erskine Church, the use of which has been kindly granted
by its managers. In view of the steady growth of the institution,
and the urgent necessity of providing proper facilities for its work,
its friends and supporters recently resolved to do two things :
First To provide for the support of an additional Chair in
Theology ; Second To erect College buildings.
A liberal amount has already been secured towards the salary
of an additional professor. A most eligible site on McTavish
street, adjoining McGill College, has been purchased, and plans
procured, by which it appears that the cost of grounds and build-
ing will not be less than thirty thousand dollars, of which a large
proportion has already been subscribed. The building is now in
course of erection. It is a stone edifice, elegant, and in all
respects commodious and most pleasantly situated, and command-
ing a view of the city, the scenery of the St. Lawrence, and
the country to the south of it. It contains Lecture Rooms, Lib-
rary, Examination Hall, Reading Room, Studies and Dormitories
for students, together with Bath Rooms, and all other modern
conveniences. The rooms will be furnished and given to students
free of expense, thus reducing the cost of living to the minimum.
During the last session 18 scholarships were competed for, 14 of
which were offered by residents of Montreal, and the students
have, at their own expense, founded a Gold Medal to be offered
for competition annually to the members of the graduating class,
the nature of the examination to be determined by the Senate,
and to embrace a wide range of theological and kindred subjects.
The medal will not be awarded unless a high standard of excel-
lence is attained.
The design for this medal has not yet been decided upon.
It is certain, however, that it will compare favorably with the
beautiful medals awarded by McGill College.
The officers of instruction are Rev. D. H. MACVICAR, LL.D.,
Professor of Systematic Theology and Apologetics.
Rev. D. COUSSIRAT, B.D., Professor of Dogmatics, Philos-
ophy, &c, (Lectures in French.)
Rev. J. M. GIBSON, M.A., Lecturer in Exegetics.
G. GIBSON, M.A., Classical and Mathematical Tutor.
Hebrew is taught by Rev. Prof. A. DESOLA, LL.D., of McGill
College, who also gives instruction in Chaldee, Syriac and Arabic,
if required.
Other subjects of the curriculum have been hitherto provided
for by special arrangements, but the staff of instructors is to be
increased before next session.
SCHOOL.
Established 1856.
Under the Regulations for the establishment of Normal
Schools in the Province of Quebec, the Minister of Public In-
struction is empowered to associate with himself for the Direction
of one of these Schools the Corporation of McGill University,
Montreal. In accordance with this arrangement the Provincial
Protestant Normal School is affiliated with the McGill University.
This institution is intended to give a thorough training to
teachers, especially for the Protestant population of Lower Can-
ada. This end is attained by instruction and training in the
Normal School itself, and by practice in the Model Schools ; and
the arrangements are of such a character as to afford the greatest
possible facilities to students from all parts of the Province.
The complete course of study extends over three years, and
the students are graded as follows :
1. Elementary School Class. Studying for the Elementary
School Diploma.
2. Model School Class. Studying for the Model School Di-
ploma.
3. Academy Class. Studying for the Academy Diploma.
Each student must produce a certificate of good moral char-
acter from the clergyman or minister of religion under whose charge
he has last been, and also testimony that he has attained the age
of sixteen years. He is also required to sign a pledge that he
purposes to teach for three years in some public school in Lower
Canada.
At the close of the first year of study, students may apply for
examination for diplomas giving the right to teach in Elementary
Schools ; and after two years' study, or if found qualified at the
close of the first year, they are, on examination, entitled to
diplomas as teachers of Model Schools.
Students having passed the examination in the Model School
Class, or having advanced to the requisite knowledge, may go on
to the Academy Class, and, on examination, may obtain the
Academy Diploma.
^CHOOL OF jVLcGiLL NORMAL SCHOOL.
These Schools can accommodate about 300 pupils, and are
supplied with the best furniture and apparatus, and conducted on
the most modern methods of teaching. They receive pupils from
the age of six and upwards, and give a thorough English educa-
tion.
