 In British Cohnnhia thei'e is great need fo)- institutions of such 
 character. In the mad rush of our people for gold, actuated by 
 that gi'eed for wealth which seems to be the pr-evailing ambition, 
 the development of mind and soul, of such vastly greater conse-

 needed the hallowing, reliiung influences of the Christian Univei 
 sity to point the youth of the land to the higher ideals of Intel 
 lectual and spiritual growth, it is here. 
 
 Western University is an attemi)t on the part of the Baptist 
 denomination of British Columbia to meet this n'H'd. And this 
 work is undertaken, not in any narrow, sectarian spirit, but with 
 th" earnest hope that its intlueiices may be for the good of all.

 At the third annual Convention of the Baptist Churches 
 of British Cohimbia, held at Vancouver, July 6th to loth, 
 1899, a resolution was passed nnanimonsly approving of 
 the founding of an institution for the promotion of the 
 higher education of our youth. It was further resolved 
 that steps be immediately instituted in this direction and 
 the "Education Board of the Convention wa", instructe.:' '.- 
 undertake, as actively as possible, the work of secM;!.^_ 
 funds and pledges for the endowment and equip:.i wl <:* 
 such an institution. 
 
 In anticipation of the founding of a u^'VvCi '•'■:', 
 located at some suitable point and equipped for residence 
 work, it was decided to at once proceed to outline courses 
 of study, to appoint a faculty of specialists eminently 
 qualified to act as instructors and examiners, and gener- 
 ally to make provision for conducting, in as efficient 
 a manner as possible, the work of university exteusion 
 in advance of the actual local university. This should 
 be undertaken in order to meet, in as far as present con- 
 ditions allow, an unmistakable need for assistance along 
 the paths of higher education, experienced by . great 
 numberof our earnest, ambitous, young men and women. 
 There are known to be many such within the Province, 
 who, prevented from actual attendance at a university, 
 are yet desirous of attaining to something of the higher 
 culture for the promotion of which the uuiversity exists. 
 
 The practicability of the correspondence feature of 
 universitv work is no longer doubtful. Experience has 
 .shown that in many lines of study correspondence instruc- 
 tion secures results highly satisfactory both to histructor

 and student. Direction and correction may be given 
 oftentimes as well by written as by spoken words. While 
 work by correspondence cannot be regarded as a perfect 
 substitute for that done in residence, still it enables those 
 who are prevented from studying at an institution to ob- 
 tain valuable aid in their efforts at self-culture. 
 
 - Experience has shown, too, that strength and inde- 
 pendence of character and the habit of persistent appli- 
 cation have been notably developed in those students 
 who have perseveringly pursued such work removed from 
 the stimulating surroundings of university life. 
 
 The Western University of Canada begins its career by 
 projecting its Extension or Correspondence Division in 
 advance of the time when it will be possible to select a 
 location and begin work in residence. It is confidently 
 expected that the founding of the Residence Division of 
 the University will become an accomplished fact within 
 the coming year. Vigorous steps are being taken in 
 that direction by the friends of higher education in this 
 proN'ince, who are strongly convinced of our great need 
 of a school of Chriiitian culture. 
 
 This university does not offer its correspondence in- 
 struction as a perfect substitute for class-room teaching. 
 On the contrary, all who find it readily possible to attend 
 a college or university are advised to do so in preference 
 to taking instruction by correspondence. Yet within 
 certain limits and for students well endowed with earn- 
 estness of purpose and the power of persistent application, 
 university extension work is scarcely less helpful than 
 class-room discipline. Many students who have accom- 
 plished university work, both by correspondence and in 
 residence, have pronounced the former method quite as 
 efficient uud helpful as the latter. It is believed that 
 the first two years of a univei.sity course may, in the case 
 of manv students, be satisfactorily accomplished by cor- 
 respondence, and that the two later years, taken in resi- 
 dence; thereby acquire an intensity of value which well 
 
compensates for any supposed deficiency in the thorough- 
 ness of the work of the non-residence courses of the earlier 
 years. 
 
 To many looking forward to professional careers in- 
 volving post-graduate work, it may be a pertinent ques- 
 tion whether it would not be wise to accomplish the work 
 betv;een the high school or academy and the junior col- 
 lege year, by the aid of the correspondence courses. An 
 additional year or two of post-graduate work in residence 
 might thereby be made possible. 
 
 This university does not at present offer degrees for 
 work done wholly by correspondence, but aims to accom- 
 plish work equivalent to that of the first two years in arts, 
 science, and theology of McMaster, Acadia, or other 
 Canadian universities, leaving the student seeking a 
 degree to complete his course by two years in residence. 
 These may be taken at this university, when it shall 
 have become equipped for residence work. The full 
 course in arts will lead to the degree of B. A. 
 
 No distinct theological department has been de^fined, 
 but students in arts who wish to make a specialty of 
 theology may take advantage of certain options to that 
 end. No science course has, as yet, been outlined. It 
 is the intention, however, that the practical sciences 
 shall hold a very prominent place in the Residence Div- 
 ision of this university. These will include mechanical, 
 mining, and electrical engineering and assaying. Most 
 of the science subjects outlined in the arts department of 
 this division are among the requirements of an ordinary 
 course in practical science, and may be elected by students 
 looking in that direction. 
 
 In their work the instructors will be ably assisted by 
 local examiners. A local examiner will be appointed in 
 each locality in which there are one or more students. 
 He will render the students every possible assistance in 
 their work, will help them to organize clubs or classes

 for mutual assistance, and for practical work in the ex- 
 perimental sciences, and will supervise all examinations. 
 
 Deoartnients ^^ ^^^" Correspondence Division of this 
 r ^. J universitv are included the following de- 
 
 oi Study. 
 
 ■^ partments: 
 
 1. The Academic Department, including the subjects 
 leading to matriculation into the collegiate department 
 of the University. 
 
 2. The Collegiate Department, including the subjects 
 of the first two years of the university course in arts. 
 
 The work in each department is arranged 
 in courses which are, in the Collegiate 
 Department, grouped by semesters. The required amount 
 of work of a semestei is equivalent to the work of a 
 corresponding half-year of a university course in residence. 
 In the Academic Department a course involves rather 
 more work in the subject than is u '^ually accomplished 
 ill a half-year at an academy or high school. 
 
 c \\7u ^ The Correspondence Division of the Uni- 
 ror Wnom . .^ . , , , r • , ,^ 
 
 . , versitv IS designed to be of assistance to 
 
 mtendec. ^lie following classes: (i.) All who de- 
 sire to prepare themselves for entrance upon university 
 work. (2.) Matriculated students who are debarred by 
 lack of means or other cause from actual attendance at a 
 university, but who are desirous of securing something 
 of the experience and culture which the university gives, 
 (3.) Matriculated students who look forward to the 
 completion of the course in Arts or Science, but who are 
 compelled by the force o^ ircumstances to reside in the 
 university the shortest p-^ssible time. (4.) Grammar 
 and high school teachers who have not enjoyed the 
 advantages of a college training. (5.) All who find 
 themselves prevented by circumstances from attendance 
 at a high school, a college, or a university, but who are 
 yet desirous of attaining to a larger intellectual life than 
 that which they already enjoy. (6.) Practical workers 
 
in mechanical lines, who are ambitious to fit themselves - 
 for higher positions ir. their respective departments with- 
 out quitting their revenue producing labors. (7.) Far- 
 mers' sous and daughters who wish to spend their leisure ^ 
 hoUiS In the cultivation of their intellectual powers by 
 systematic reading and study. The farm has ever been 
 the nursery of great men. Many men of genius and 
 power who have done much to mold and direct the iri- 
 stitutions of their time, have laid the foundation of their 
 greatness by persistent, plodding study during the leisure 
 intervals between the busy seasons of farm lite. 
 
 , . All the ^xivileges of this university are 
 Not Exclusive ^^^^.^^ ^^ ^^^ students without distinctions 
 
 as to race, creed, or sex, upon exactly the same conditions. 
 
 . Each course is arranged to cover about 
 Method^ 01 ^^^^ ^^^^ ground as the residence course, 
 Instruction. ^^^^^ ^^^ ^^^^ suoject, in any of our-i. 
 Canadian universities. Courses are conducted on the;^^ 
 basis of type-written instruction sheets, which furnish 
 suggestions and assistance and assign the tasks to be per- 
 formed. The student thus works under guidance as in 
 the recitation room. Examinations are held at the end - 
 of each semestei to test the student's progress in study. 
 
 Under this method the instructor makes a careful 
 study of the mental state of each student, discovers just 
 what each needs of direction and assistance and is able 
 to adapt his teaching to the student's individual needs. 
 Each student is advised how to systematize his studies so 
 as to make the best use of his time. Students with definite- 
 purposes in view will be advised as to what collateral 
 reading would be most profitable. Thus the student, i 
 even if he does not come into the actual presence of the 
 instructor, does come into very close and effective touch., 
 with him and receives from him that individual attention 
 which is sometimes not possible in large institutions of 
 learning. 
 
A ksson is intended to i.iclude about the usual class- 
 room assignment in the subject. The time required to 
 ^satisfactorily complete a lesson must, of course, vary 
 accc _. ng to the ability of the student, the intensity of 
 his application to his work, and the favorable or anfav- 
 orable circumstances under which it is performed. Unuer 
 average conditions about two hours should suffice for 
 each lesson. 
 
 Lessons are arranged in weekly sets. In a major 
 course each set co.itains four distinct lessons, each with 
 i^^ didactic notes and exp'anations, and its series of ques- 
 t s for recitation work. In a minor course each set 
 contains two such lessons. 
 
 When a student calls for a course several lesson sets 
 ire furnished him by the local examiner, or, in case no 
 local examiner is appointed i.^ his vicinity, direct from 
 the instructor. When re?-"} '.o begin work he takes up 
 lesson I, reads carefully the instructions, notes and sug- 
 gestions, and studies the section or sections of the text- 
 book indicated. After thorough study of the lessons 
 assigned he then takes the question paper, and with it 
 reviews the work already studied. Then, laying aside 
 text and reference books, he writes his answers to the 
 questions to the best of wis ability. To this paper he 
 adds any questions that he may wish to ask regarding the 
 work, and indicates any difficult parts that he has failed 
 to master. Having completed lesson i, he takes up the 
 succeeding lessons in the same manner. Once each week 
 the studenv mails to his instructor the written results of 
 his work. This must not include mc:e than two lessous 
 in case of a minor, nor more than four in case of a major 
 course. 
 
 On receipt of the recitation paper the instructor at once 
 examines the work, marks in red ink all needed correc- 
 tions, gives full explanations and solutions when required, 
 places a value mark upon the paper and calls for revised 
 work at his discretion. The papers, l.aig crecteu, are 
 
8 
 
 returned to the student along with an advance set. Thus 
 the student will always have lesson papers on hand. In 
 this manner the work goes on till the course is finished 
 and the student examined. 
 
 A student may extend the time in which to complete 
 his course to one year from the examination date next 
 succeeding his entrance upon the course. 
 
 A student, after commencing hiscourse, may not transfer 
 his interest to another student. 
 
 Students may begin work at any time, but examinations 
 will be held only on the regular dates. 
 
 Examination taV.es place twice a year, in March and 
 in September, and always under the supervision of the 
 local examiners. 
 
 A certificate will be given upon the completion of eich 
 course. Students will be graded according to the quality 
 of their work as: (A) Excellent (loo to 80 percent.), 
 (B) Good (80 to 60 percent.), (C) Fair (60 to 40 per 
 cent.), (D) Poor (40 to 20 per cent.), vH) Very Poor 
 (20 too per cent. ). No university credit will be allowetl 
 for grades bel< av C. 
 
 Tuition fees are, in all departments, six 
 Expenses. ^^^^ii^^^ for a iuinor course, and twelve 
 dollars for a major. This fee includes payment for the 
 instruction papers, ft)r all the direction and assistance 
 received from the instructor, and for examination ar.d 
 certificate upon the completion of the course. The 
 student is recpiired to enclose postage for the return ot 
 the corrected recitation papers. 
 
 Students not having taken courses in the Academic 
 Department, mav write the matriculition .xaminatioii. 
 They are re(|uired to pay a fee of fifty cents for each ex- 
 amination in each subject taken. 
 
 A registration fee of five dollars is required of all 
 
students admitted into the Collegiate Department, except- 
 ing those who pass the regular matriculation examination. 
 
 Students writing for advanced standing in the Colleg- 
 iate Department are required to pay an examination fee 
 of fifty cents for each subject. 
 
 All fees are payable in advance. In the case of a major 
 course, arrangement may be made by which one-half of 
 the fee may be paid in advance and the balance in three 
 months. 
 
 No fees are returnable, but studf nts who, having paid 
 fees, afterwards find themselves unable, through sickness 
 or other good cause, to complete the work within the 
 specified time, may, with the consent of the President 
 and of the Instructor, take up the work at a subsequent 
 semester without the repayment of fees. 
 
 All fees are payable to the President of the University, 
 and should be sent by draft or money order. 
 
 MATRICULATION 
 
 INTO THE COLLEQIATE DEPARTHENT 
 
 - jj.. A Students of the Academic Department are 
 
 ^«"***^***7 *""* accredited with matriculation in their 
 
 Regulations, ^^^j^jpi^t^.^^ courses when they have made 
 
 the required pass- marks, (50 per cent). 
 
 The following candidates will be admitted as full 
 matriculates in Arts, Science or Theology without 
 examination. 
 
 (a) Those holding certificates of matriculation into 
 colleges or universities of recognized standing. 
 
 {d) Those holding First A teacher's certificates of this 
 province, or equivalent. Candidates presenting leaving 
 certificates or certificates from principals of accredited 
 high schools or other academic institutions will be ex- 
 empt from examinations in such required subjects as they 
 shall have satisfactorily completed, but must pay the 
 examination fee of fifty cents for each subject. After 
 
lO 
 
 successfully passing the examinations in the remaining 
 required subjects, such students shall be entitled to reg- 
 istration in the Collegiate Department. 
 
 Candidates holding teacher's certificates other than 
 First A may present them for credit which will be given 
 in as far as they represent required work. 
 
 Matriculation examinations will be held under the sup- 
 ervision of the local examiners twice in each year, begin- 
 ing the first Mondays in March and September. The 
 question papers for these examinations shall be prepared 
 by the members of the University Faculty or by associate 
 examiners and the answers shall be read and valued by 
 those who shall have prepared the papers. 
 
 Candidates in order to pass must obtain at least forty 
 per cent, upon the examination in each subject, and fifty 
 percent, upon the whole. 
 
 A candidate mav divide his examination into several 
 parts to be taken at different times. He may thus spread 
 his examination over one or more years. 
 
 In his request for examination, which, accompanied 
 by the proper fee must be u\ the hands of the President 
 thirty days before the date set for the examination, the 
 candidate shall state the subjects in which he wishes to 
 be examined. 
 
 Certificates of admission into the University will be 
 granted to all who satisfy the requirements for matricu- 
 lation. . 
 
 No matriculati(m examination is required of special 
 students, i. e.. those not proceeding towards a university 
 degree, but such must satisfy the instructors of their 
 ability to i>roceed intelligently with the courses which 
 they wish to pursue, before undertaking work in connec- 
 tion with tins Univtrsity, and must pay the registration 
 lee.

 tions. Other books of similiar character may be substi- 
 tuted. Students who cannot readily obtain the specified 
 books from their local dealers can .secure them through 
 the University P.ook-Room. Prices and estimates can be 
 obtained from the President or from the Local Examiners. 
 
 vStudents are nv)t required to regard the 
 lesson papers or instruction sheets fur- 
 nished by this University as in any way 
 confidential. ( )n the contrarv it is hoped that the widest 
 possible use will be made of them and thus the purposes 
 of this iiistitution be more largely fulfilled. While, ob- 
 viou.sly, the Universilv through its Correspond nice Div- 
 ision, can deal onlv with individu.ils and not wi h cla.sses, 
 yet it is realized tliat the usefulness of this branch of the 
 work may be greatlv extended bv local combination on

 the part of the students, for mutual benefit. 
 
 While' the fees charged for instruction are insufficient 
 to afford the instructor even a fair remuneration for tlie 
 great amount of time and energy that the work requires, 
 It is yet recognized that, to a student taking a number of 
 courses, the cost would be considerable. It is therefore 
 suggested th.at, in the case of the Academic Department 
 at least, students should combine and thus reduce the 
 cost, individually, to a nominal sum. To illustrate, let 
 it be supposed that in a certain community there are five 
 young men who wish to take the course in Chemistry. Let 
 these*^ organize themselves into a Chemistry Class 
 under the direction of the Local lixaminer who will 
 advise them as to the best methods of study, under their 
 particular circumstances, and will reuder them every 
 possible assistance. They may then elect one of th.?ir 
 num1)er to register with the ITniversity and receive the 
 instruction sets. Tliese papers can be studied and the 
 work performed by all the members of the club separately 
 or better, in this case, the students can meet together in 
 the evening, or at some other convenient time, to unit- 
 edly preixiie the necessary apparatus, perform the experi- 
 ments required and write out the recitation papers. The 
 instructor, of course, corresponds with only one of them 
 but all in the class enjoy the l)enefits of his instructit)n at 
 a cost to each, for tuition, of only two dollars and forty 
 cents for a course extending over six months or a year. 
 
 In similar manner could be organized and conducted 
 a Physics Class, a Latin Class, a Literature Class, etc. 
 
 Under this plan the total cost for tuition to a student 
 takingthe whole work of the .\cademic Department could 
 be reduced to a very trilling amount. 
 
 When desired extra sets of lesson papers will bi- fur- 
 nished at a cost jier set of fifty cents for a minor course, 
 and one dollar for a major. 
 
THE ACADEHIC DEPARTHENT. 
 
 Correspondence courses have been arranged to cover the 
 work required for matriculation into the University . These 
 are designed to meet the needs of those students who have 
 not the advantages of a High School or Academic train- 
 ing in the subjects specified, and of those who, without 
 looking forward to matriculation into the Collegiate 
 Departments of the Uni v-ersity, are yet desirous of increas- 
 ing their knowledge of certain subjects which they recog- 
 nize as of large practical importance to them. 
 
 In these courses no pains will be spared by the^ in- 
 structors to make the work thorough and effective. Each 
 student constitutes a class by himself, his work is criticis- 
 ed, his mistakes pointed out, his individual needs con- 
 sidered, and instruction, advice and suggestions are given, 
 applicable to his particular case. 
 
 Each student will be examined upon the completion 
 of his course and will receive a certificate showing stand- 
 ing made. 
 
 Courses are either major or minor. A mnjor course 
 includes eighty lessons and examination; a minor, forty 
 lessons and examination.

 of life at almost every point there are few who would not be the 
 better e(piipped by the completion of this course. 
 
 The course is studied (>xj)erimentally. The fullest instruction 
 
 will b(> given for thefvu-nishing of a laboratory, at slight expense, 
 
 with chiefly hom«'-made apparatus. The total cost to the stiulent 
 
 for reagents and other material need not exceed three or foui'

 THE COLLEGIATE DEPARTMENT. 
 
 Announce- '^^^^ subjects of the four semesters outlined 
 ments. '^"^^ ^^^^ limits reached in those subjects 
 are the approximate equivalents of the 
 pass-work of the first two years of McMaster, Acadia and 
 most of our other Canadian universities It is not antic- 
 ipated that the standards of scholarship in this Univers- 
 ity shall be in any defjree lower than those of any other 
 Canadian institution of hi.t^her learning. It is a generally 
 accepted principle among universities and colleges that 
 work done by a student in one of them will be duly rec- 
 ognized in any other upon sufficient evidence of the 
 accomplishment of such work being produced. It is 
 therefore anticipated that such work satisfactorily done in 
 connection with this University will receive due credit 
 when certificates shall be presented elsewhere. Gener- 
 ally speaking it may be anticipated that a student having 
 faithfully accomplished the work of the four semesters 
 outlined will be qualified to enter the third vear of any 
 other university or college having similar standards. 
 
 Plans are ])eing matured looking towards the establish- 
 ment of the Residence Division of this university, with 
 well detined courses leading io tlegrees in Arts and 
 
Science. It is confidently expected that next year will 
 see the founding of this department and its equipment 
 for actual work. Regnk^r students of the Correspondence 
 Division will be permitted, when the Residence Division 
 shall have become established, to take standing therein 
 to the end of the second year. 
 
 The starred subjects are required to be taken by all 
 regular students, but an increasing range of options is 
 allowed to meet a diversity of wants. 
 
 A Major (Mj) course is the equivalent of two minor (M) 
 courses. Nine minor courses or their equivalent, consti- 
 tute the pass-work of each semester and are required of 
 all regular students, i. e. , those working for university 
 recognition. Regular students must pass the examinations 
 in all prerequisite work before receiving university credit. 
 In general matriculation is the prerequisite to the work 
 of tlie Collegiate Departments. 
 
 Special students may undertake the work of any course 
 without examination, having first satisfied the Instructor 
 thai; they are fitted to do so. Certificates will be awarded 
 upon the completion of the course but no university cre- 
 dit will be given till the prerequisite conditions are 
 fulfilled. 
 
 The work outlined under the semester is intended only 
 to indicate the amount which a student of average ability 
 could fairly be expected to accomplish in a half-year by 
 giving his whole time to the work. No student is re- 
 quired to pass in a certain number of subjects at any 
 particular examination. He may spread the work of a 
 semester over a year or more according to circumstances. 
 In addition to the pass-work of nine courses required 
 for each semestt^r the student may take additional courses 
 as honor work. Honor certificates will be given, after 
 satisfat:tory examination, upon such additional courses, 
 to students making "good" or "excellent" standing in 
 the pass-work of the semester.

 SYLLABUS OF COURSES. 
 A. English Language and Literature. 
 
 The work in this department has, in th'^ "nain, three objects in 
 view: (1) to give the student a general acquaintance with English 
 licei'»tui'e, and to (piicken insight into its spirit and appreciation 
 of its art; (2) to cultivate habits of observation and powei's of 
 thought, and todevelope ease, correctness and vigor of expression; 
 (3) to give a scientific knowledge of the origi \ and history of the 
 language. 
 
20 
 
 An attempt is made to attain the first of tnose ol)j(>cts by 
 means of a careful and critical examination of selections from the 
 great masters of poetry and prose, by the prescription of wot^c to 
 be read, and by lecture notes on the leading tendencies ot the 
 various periods of English literature. The spe(;ial work is intend- 
 ed to deepen the insight and knowledge acquired in the gene^ml 
 course, and to lead the student to a richer realization ot the 
 thought element in literature. All students are expected to make 
 chemst.ves familiar with prescribed portions of some short sketca 
 of English literature. . . . ,, j. 
 
 Special attention is paid to the composition in all semesters. 
 Weekly papers are required from all students, 'ine papers are 
 carefully marked and criticised. The prose selections ot the 
 course are used as aids to the cultivation of the power of simple, 
 direct and forcible expi-ession of individiial thinking. 
 
 A general outline of the history of the language is given in 
 the third and fourth semesters. 
 
 Al. RHETORIC AND ENGLISH COMPOSITION. 
 
 The aim of this course is to give the student a practical 
 knowledge of the principles of Rhetoric and of their jipphance to 
 English composition. The student will prepare exercises illustra- 
 ting the use of words, the structure of sentences and paragi iphs 
 in accordance with the principles of emphasis and coherence, .rnd 
 other rhetorical subjects. He will also be required to write 
 short themes on suggested topics of current interest. 1 his course 
 also includes critical examination of some phase of recent current 
 literature. ^ ^ MATTHEWS.
