MEMORIAL OF THE mniveisit^ of ^vinit^ CoUeoc TORONTO- :/ To the Right Hon. Henry 5ai'on Knutsford, Gr.C.M.G., Her Majesty's Secretary oj State for the Colonies. My Lord, — On behalf of the University of Trinity College, Toronto, we beg most respectfully to lay before your Lordship the following reply to the memorial pre- sented on behalf of the Universities of Oxford, Cambridge, Dublin, London, Durham, Victoria, and other English Musical Colleges, calling attention to the action of the University of Trinity College in examining students for Degrees in Music in London, and admitting such students fo degrees in absentia. It is abundantly clear from the Memorial presented to your Lordship that the representatives of the great English Institutions, who have addressed you, have done so under an entire misapprehension of the real facts of the case, as to the position occupied by this University in the matter. The Memorialists appear to imagine that no instruction in music in connexion with Trinity University is given in Toronto, that " the examination work in this faculty is done away from the College, and takes place in England," and that " so far as the issuing of Degrees in this country is concerned, the whole of the procedure takes place in England." The impression which the Memorialists thus appear to entertain, and which the Memor. al must have left on your Lordship's mind, is clearly that this University is taking no part in the advancement of musical learning in the Dominion of Canada, and that the motives of its action in England become therefore liable to grave suspicion. The following are the actual facts of the case : Prior to the year 1883, the regulations were the same as those formerly laid down bj' the University of Cambridge, re- [' quiring only the composition and performance of a musical exercise sufficient to warrant the conferring of a degree. As early as 1858 a Professor in Music was appointed on the staff, who has delivered, from time to time, courses of lectures, and also examined for degrees. But, owing to advancing years, he has not recently taken any active part in the work of the University, and his name has therefore dropped out of the list of Piofessors, lecturers, and teachers in active work, on p. 21 of the Calendar, although his position is sufficiently indicated on p. 100. In 1883 the whole of the requirements in the Faculty of Music were reconstituted, and a graduated course of three annual examinations for the Degree of Bachelor of Music was established. The musical requirements for the two Degrees of Mus. Bac. and Mus. Doc. are, it is claimed, fully equal to those of the Engli.sh Universities, whilst, unlike the practice of some of them, the whole of the examination work is required to be taken for the Deirree of Mus. Bac. This Curriculum was drawn up entirely for Canadian requirements, in continuation of the policy of encouraging musical study which, has distinguished the University from the outset. The Curriculum and Examination papers set, attracted the notice of the leading musicians in the United States, and application was made to us by our then Examiner, Professor Ritter, of Vassar College, N. Y., to obtain the pei'mission of the University for the publication of the papers set, and of the Curriculum in a leading American Journal, The Key Note. Such permission was granted, and the papers were published accordingly. The London " Musical Standard " reprinted the Curriculum and Exami- nation papers from the " Key Note," and the attention of the English musical world was thus called to the matter. It was in consequence of this action of the English Musical Press, unknown to this University, and with which it had L musical I degree. inted on Durses of )wing to y active aine has ecturers, alendar, I p. 100. Faculty ourse of Bachelor >onts for re, it is i^ersities, whole of for the Canadian )uraging liversity ttracted States, :aminer, bain the of the merican granted, London Exami- ition of matter. Musical 1 it had nothing whatever to do, that a large number of applica- tions were received for the extension of these Examinations to England. Every precaution was taken by the University to ensure the character and efficiency of its tests for De- grees in Music, whilst responding to the English invitation to supply what the result has shown to have been a distinct want in England. Instead, therefore, of continuing one Examiner as heretofore, a board of thi'ee Examiners, of the highest eminence and position in England, was appointed, viz., Drs. E. J. Hopkins, of the Temple Church, London, Dr. Longhurst, of Canterbury Cathedral, and ,Dr. Lott, of St. Sepulchre's Church, Holborn. Trinity College, London, applied for and obtained affilia- tion with this University, although subsequently the University of Tx'inity College, Toronto, felt it necessary to intimate to Trinity College, London, that they must discon- tinue the affiliation owing to the importance of placing the the examinations above every suspicion the absolute im- partiality in regard to all English Musical interests. This intimation was communicated to Trinity College, London, within a short time of the granting of the original affiliation, and before any action had been taken upon it. The Board of Trinity College, London, protested strongly against the dis- continuance of the affiliation, but every effort was made by the University to prevent any injury being done to Trinity College, London, thereby. The late Sir George A. Macfarren, Professor of Music in the University of Cambridge, wrote warmly, expressing his belief that "the University of Cambridge would support that of Toronto {sic) in the matter of Musical Degrees," and offering quite unsolicited to open formal negotiations with the University of Cam- bridge for this purpose. LTntil the cablegram reached Toronto announcing the action of the various English Institutions which have memorialised your Lordship, no other intimations, save those of encouragement and support, were received by the authorities of the University from any 4 representative English musicians oi' Institutions connected with the study of music. Meanwhile the number of Canadian candidates for our Degrees, Jind the consequent influence of the University in Musical matters in Canada, have been steadily growing. This year some fifty Canadian candidates are presenting themselves for the several examinations for the Degree of Mus. Bac. in Toronto. The Toronto Conservatory of Music, which has entered within the last two years over 1000 pupils, is affiliated to this University, and a complete course of Musical Instruc- tion alike theoretical and practical is given in this affiliated College. Your Memorialists trust that this simple state- ment of the actual facts of the case, will be sufficient to remove from your Lordship's mind any impression you may have previously formed adverse to the bona fides of this University, in regard to the work of its Faculty of Music in Canada, or as to the causes which induced it to allow candidates in England to enter for its Examinations. In relation to the conferring of the Degrees, and the con- ducting of the examinations at a distance from the seat of the University, the procedure has been precisely similar to that adopted by the U niversity of London, in the examina- tions which it has for more than twenty years past con- ducted in various parts of the Empire, includingToronto, and so far as the conduct of examinations is concerned to that of the University of Durham in the examinations which it has conducted, for some fifteen years, in the West Indies, at Codrington College, Barbadoes, and in Sierra Leone. All the papers of the candidates in music, whether examined in Toronto or London, are transmitted to the Examiners in England. A fixed standard of passing, viz., fifty per cent, of the total marks of the examination, with not less than thirty-three per cent, of the marks of each paper, is binding upon the Examiners, and the returns of the candi- dates' marks in each case are forwarded to the University authorities in Toronto, who then issue the full list of the •I I 5 s connected number of consequent in Canada, y Canadian le several ti Toronto, as entered iffiliated to lal Instruc- is affiliated mple state- ufficient to ession you na fides of Faculty of duced it to iminations. id the con- the seat of T similar to e examina- 5 past con- oronto.and ed to that ions which est Indies, 'ra Leone. ' examined Examiners , fifty per bh not less 1 paper, is the candi- Jniveisity list of the standing of both the Canadian and English candidates. All the degrees are regularly prayed in Convocation in accordance with the provisions of the Royal Charter, and are duly conferred by the Chancellor or Vice-Chancellor, under the authority of the Charter in Toronto. Your Memorialists trust that the important legal question as to the actual powers possessed by this University under its Royal Charter may now be approached purely upon its own merits and without any adverse prepossession ajrainst it arising out of the other circumstances of the case. The English Memorial presented to your Lordship con- tains five positions on this head, which it will be convenient to examine in detail. The third objection raised may perhaps be taken first, as it deals entirely with the ordi- nances and regulations of this University as distinguished from the nature of its chartered powers. Reference is made to the regulations governing students in the Faculty of Arts, and it is inferred apparently that these regulations have some connexion with those governing students in the Faculty of Music, which are fully set forth on page 70 of the Calendar. Your Memorialists bel\eve that it is in accordance with unvarying academic usage in England and elsewhere, to draw up separate regulations governing the admission and the exercises required of students in each of the various Faculties, and that these requirements vary greatly in the different Faculties of any University. On referring for example to the report of the Dublin University Com- mission of 1853 on page 43 the following statement occurs, — " The Board have also appointed a Professor of Music, whose duty it is to present all candidates for Degrees in Music at the commencement, and to certify to their fitness and qualification. The Professorship is unendowed, and there are no duties of teaching attached to it." It is clear that at this date candidates for Degrees in Music in the University of Dublin received no instruction in 6 !i tl I Music from the University, but no one would argue from the " general tenor " of this statement of the Commis- sioners that the same held good with regard to all the other Faculties. The distinguished Universities whose representatives have approached your Lordship will, it is believed, not sei'iousl}'' maintain that because candidates for Degrees in Arts are required to attend certain percentages of Lectures, etc., therefore the ordinances of the University have been violated by tb.e admission without such attendance of candidates for Degrees in Music, seeing that the regulations governing this latter Faculty contain no such requirement. Your Memorialists are not aware that it is the practice of the English Universities to require or expect attendance at Lectures as a condition of admission to Degrees in Music. The other points of objection may be summarized under two heads : 1st. As to the alleged local restriction of the powers given the University of Trinity College, Toronto, under its Royal Charter. 2nd. As to the power of the University ot Trinity College, Toronto, to confer degrees in absentia. With regard to the first of these points, it is urged that the descriptive words employed by Her Majesty — "We having taken the premises into our Royal consideration, and being willing to promote the more perfect estab- lishment within the Diocese of Toronto of a College in connection with the United Church of England and Ireland," limit the substantive powers which Her Majesty then confers in the words following, ordaining and grant- ing, " that the said College shall be a University, and shall have and enjoy all such and the like privileges as are enjoyed by the Universities of our United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland." Your Memorialists respectfully urge that the recitul is simply descriptive of the fact of the establishment of a College in the Diocese of Toronto in connexion with the ■gue from Comniis- ;o all the fentatives jvcd, not 'egrees in Lectures, ave been dance of gulations iiirement. ■actice of ;tendance in ]\lu,sic. ed undei" on of tlie Toronto, H' of the • degrees •ged that :y— "We deration, it estab- jllege in tiid and Majesty cl grant- ty, and leges as ungdom ecital is ent of a -'ith the United Church of England and Ireland which had been laid before the Sovereign, and the more perfect establish- ment of which Her Majesty was graciously pleased to promote, and that in issuing her Royal Charter for this purpose constituting the College so founded a University ^ and granting to it all such and the like privileges as are enjoyed by the Universities of the United Kingdom, no limitation was imposed i*estricting the full possession ot these privileges, except so far as they ai'e governed by the subsequent provision of the Royal Charter establi-^liing the Convocation of the University, and providing that "such members of the said Convocation shall have, exercise, and enjoy all such powers in regard to conferring degrees, and in other matters, as may be provided for by any rules, orders, or regulations, of the saitl College Council, sanctioned and confirmed by the Lord Bishop or Bishops, as aforesaid." In accordance with the powers conferred under this last provision, all degrees have been regularly prayed and granted in Convocation in conformity with the usual custom of the English Universities. Your Memorialists would respectfully submit that it is impossible by means of descriptive words setting forth the facts which have moved Her Majesty to grant the Royal Charter at the outset, to thereby limit for all time the powers which Her Majesty has been pleased to fully and unreservedly grant, when no such limitation is inserted in the enacting portion of the Charter. In this connexion the attention of your Lordship is respectfully called to the terms of the Charter granted to the University of Durham, on June 1st, 1837, in which His late Majesty King William IV., recites that " the said petitioners having regard to the endowment provided for the University of Durham and the ivanta of the surrounding district, are asisured that, with the blessing of God, it will speedily fulfil the object of its institution, the advancement of learning based on sound religious principles, &c. We 8 trusting that the said University of Durham so established under our Royal sanction and the authority of Parliament may, under the blessing of Almighty God, prove an eminent source of good to our loving subjects, especiaZ/^/ in the northern parts of our realm of England, of our especial grace have granted, constituted, declared, ai)d appointed, and by these presents for us, our heirs and successors do grant, constitute, declare, and appoint that the said Charles Thorp, and all persons who now are or who shall hereafter be duly admitted members of the said University, , shall be and remain for ever hereafter one body, politic, and corporate, under and by the name of the Warden, Masters, and Scholars of the University of Durham, and by that name shall have and enjoy all the property, rights and privileges which are assured by the said act to the University ; or are incident to a University established under our Royal Charter." Under the provisions of this Charter your Memorialists believe that, as stated in the Calendar of the University of Durham, that University has conducted examinations for Degrees in the several Faculties in theWest Indies, and in Eastern Africa, and has allowed the Bishop of the Church of England in Barbadoes, and in Sierra Leone to confer the said degrees on behalf of the said University of Durham. Your Memorialists submit that the causes moving the Crown to issue the Royal Charter to the University of Durham are more expressly defined than in the Charter granted to the University of Trinit}'^ College, Ton)nto. It may be added that the knowledge of the action thus taken by the University of Durham considerably weighed with the authorities of the University of Trinity College, Toronto, in regard to the legality of holding examinations in another part of the Empire under the provisions of the Royal Charter. Your petitioners believe also that the said University' of Dur- ham has established examinations in the Faculty of Divinity irham so hority of ocl, prove 'specially d, of our ed, and leirs and 3int that 5W are or rs of the for ever r and by rs of the mie shall )riviloo:e8 rsity ; or ir Royal aorialists ersity of -tions for s, and in !

It IS taken od with I'oronto, another Charter* ' of Dur- )ivinity in Australia, in consequence of a similar invitation from members of the Church of England in Australia, to that which was conveyed to the University of Trinity College, Toronto, by the then Bishop of Melbourne in 1886. Atten- tion is also called to the fact alluded to in the English Memorial that the University of London has for many years conducted examinations in the Faculty of Arts in the Colonies and other parts of the British Empire, and that the provision of the charter which granted to the University of Trinity College, Toronto, all such and the like privileges as are enjoyed by the Universities of the United Kingdom must carry with it the grant of the privileges thus enjoyed by one of the said Universities, namely, the University of London. In the next place it is argued that the clause in the Charter enacting that " the Students in the said College shall have liberty and faculty of taking the Degrees of Bacheloi', Master, and Doctor in the several Arts and Facul- ties, at appointed times, and shall have liberty, within themselves, of performing all scholastic exercises for the conferring of such degrees in such manner as shall b9 directed by the statutes, rules, and ordinances of the said College," limits the powers above conferred upon the Universitv. It seems clear that this last clause, which occurs also in the Charter granted to the University of King's College, Toronto, was not intended to restrict the powers previously given, but is of a purely permissive character, intended to give legal weight and force to such disputations or other exercises as might, according to ancient practice, be required to be conducted by the students in any Faculty by the regulations of the University. In any case the term " Students in the said College," should, it is main- tained, be interpreted in the light of the preceding clause, by which the College was declared to be a University, and therefore includes all students duly and properly matricu- !i iini 10 lated in the University according to the rules and regula- tions thereof; any other interpretation would prevent the University from affiliating any teaching College and accepting its courses of instruction, a limitation which would absolutely contlict with the grant previously made of the like powers and privileges to those enjoyed by the Universities of the Unite :<}8th MAY, 1890. 8' ot T] Univi Lord Supp versi Cana( 24tli of w thron Cana is rel on 1)( Loud of tl pres( couti tliest wliic Lubl SUPPLEMENT TO MEMORIAL. Tlio Kev. Dr. Body, Vice-Cliancellor of the University of Trinity College, Toronto, being accredited by his University for this purpose, has the honor to present to Lord Knutsford, on behalf of the University, the following Supplement to the Memorial transmitted from the Uni- versity through His Excellency the Governor-General of Canada on the 12tli of April last. (1) Your Memorialist begs to refer to the Address of 24th February, 1890, presented to Your Lordship, a copy of which has been received from the Colonial Office through Sir Charles T upper, the High Commissioner for Canada. With regard to the authorisation of the Address wJiicli is referred to in our Memorial as having been presented on behalf of the Universities of Oxford, Cambridge and London, it has been found on enquiry that neither of these Universities has in any way authorised the presentation of the Address or the subject matter therein contained. The signatures of gentlemen belonging to these Universities have no other weight than that which attaches to their individual names. Sir John Lubbock, the member for the University of London, b2 I!i li: m 4 Supplement to Memorial. was in error in addressing in the House of Commons on April 1 st a question to the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies speaking of the Address as the protests of the Enghsh Universities, &c. The Universities of Durham and Victoria are the only Universities which have autho- rised signatures on their behalf as far as can be ascertained. It aj)pears, however, from the Calendars of 1890, that in the case of Durham degrees in Music were established so lately as in 1889, while Victoria University does not appear to have estabhshed them as yet, as no regulations in this Faculty are printed in the Calendar. No reply has yet been received to the official enquiry addressed to the University of Dublin. It may be pointed out that widespread misunder- standing has been caused by the affixing of the titles of the three great Universities of England to the Address, and the impression has thus been created in the public mind that the statements therein contained must be, beyond all doubt, accurate and authentic. A grave responsibility has undoubtedly been incurred by those who authorised the attaching of the names of these Universities without any authority from the Universities themselves. On referring to Ajjpendix I. to this Memorial, extracts from correspondence with the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge, it will be seen that the Council of the Senate of that University in no way authorised the presentation of the Address, nor were they cognisant of its contents. The statement made by Mr. Southgate (according to the only report your Memorialist has seen of the inter- view granted by your Lordship to the Deputation who presented the Address) in regard to the " full concurrence " of the Cambridge Senate and authorities with the action of the deputation is thus entirely misleading and inac- I 'I ^Kpff Supplement to Memorial. ommons on of State for e protests of 8 of Durham have autho- ascertained. ,rs of 1890, Music were fi University 1 yet, as no Calendar, cial enquiry I misunder- the titles of ^he Address, n the public d must be, A grave 3d by those ,es of these Universities rial, extracts ellor of the the Council thorised the [nisant of its ,e (according of the inter- itation who mcurrence" h the action g and inac- curate, even it the word •' Senate " be replaced by •* Council of the Senate." The matter was never brought before the Cambridge Senate at all. It may be mentioned also that the Scotch Universities have taken no part in this matter, nor any Irish University with tlie (possible) exception of the University of Dublin. With regard to the otlier memoriahsing colleges — Trinity College, London, and the College of Organists are incorporated under the Companies' Acts. These bodies have no power to confer degrees, nor have they received any cliarter. The Guildhall School of Music is a teaching body, and Gresham College delivers lectures only, while neither hold examinations. The Koyal College of Music is the only body other than the Universities which has a charter authorising it to confer degrees ; but this college is not officially represented, although several of its prominent officers have signed on behalf of other bodies. It will be seen, therefore, that the Address in no way represents the chief institutions of the United Kingdom to whom the power of conferring degrees in music has been granted, and who, therefore, may be looked upon as the natural guardians of the standard of such degrees. (2) With regard to the powers under the Royal Charter of the University of Trinity College, Toronto, to confer degrees in absentia upon candidates who have taken their examinations in England, the following opinion upon this question and upon the proper course to be pursued by my University has been obtained from Sir Horace Davey, Q.C., M.P., and Mr. F. C. Gore, and is now submitted to your Lordship as supple- mentary to the passages on the legal question contained (liiil 6 SHp/>kmfnt to Memorial.

" We are of opinion that the Universitie'' of the United Kinnrdoni possess hy Common Law the y.iiviloges (1) of granting degrees in tlu; various Faculties selected hy themselves (2) of determining from time to time the terms and conditions upon which suc)^ degrees shall be granted, (except so far as such terms and conditions are prescribed by the Koyal Grant or ^ )h.irter incorporating the particular University), including the right (if the University thinks lit) of granting its degrees in ahseulia. There are no words which in terms limit or restrict the generality of the grant of privileges contained in the present Charter except the words * as far as, &c.,' and we are of opinion that there is nothing in the Charter which is inconsistent with the possession by Trinity College of the largest power of granting degrees enjoyed by any University in the United Kingdom. ** We are of opinion that the Crown cannot, either with or without the action of the Ministers of the Crown, revoke or withdraw the Charter of the University except by proper legal process. ** The only mode, so far as we know, by which the Charter could be revoked, would be by a Judgment of a Court of Law having jurisdiction in the matter pronounced in a proceeding on behalf of the Crown by way of scire facias claiming revocation of the Cliarter on the ground that the provisions thereof have been violated. ** We have no general advice to give, except to say that we do not consider it would be to the interest of the University authorities to place any obstacle in the way of i Siipplemmt to Memorial. le University on tlie 12tli sitie« of the the i.i'iviloges es selected hy to time the 'grees shall be tid conditions incorporating right (if the es in absent i(t. or restrict the tnined in the as, &c.,' and n the Charter 3n by Trinity nting degrees kingdom. cannot, either ; of the Crown, iversity except , by which the Judgment of ,i 11 the matter the Crown bv the Cliarter on been violated. , except to say interest of the i in the way of laving the question at issue decided by proper Judicial [authority ; on the contrary, we think they would do well to express to Lord Knutsford their willingness to co-operate with him for this pur])ose, in the event of his [Lordship being advised that any doubt exists as to the validity of the right claimed. •' (Signed) HORACE DAVEY.

The above Opinion wliile confirming the view of the legal question which has been taken throughout by the University, contains in its concluding paragraph advice of a general nature. On behalf of the University your Memorialist desires to express its willingness to co-operate in any way for the settlement of the question which your Lordship may desire. (3) In Appendix II. will be found extracts from the Charters granted (a) To the University of Trinity College, Dublin, by Queen Elizabeth and King Charles I.

(f) A copy of the Charter granted to the University of Trinity C!ollege, Toronto, by Her present Majesty, dated 16th July, 1852. A comparison of these Cliarters clearly shows that the Charter of the University of Trinity College, Toronto, is derived from that of King's College, Toronto, and that the latter was derived from Queen Elizabeth's Charter to Dublin. The King's College Charter explains and interprets the meaning of the somewhat difficult clauses in the Trinity Charter beginning respectively 8 Rupplement to Memorinl. " for the more porfoot pstahlishmont within tlio diocese of Toronto, of a C()llof:fo," kv., and "the Students in the said Collopfe shall have lihertv and faculty," ka. With reofard to the first of these it is clearly parallel with the clause '* for the more perfect estahlishment of a collefife within our Province of Upper Canada." The ecclesiastical description '* within the diocese of Toronto " is ohviously suhstituted foi* the civil one with Avhich it is synonymous " within our Province of Upper Canada " on account of the connection of Trinity University, Toronto, with the Church of Enofland. The order of the words " within the diocese of Toronto " was apparently transposed to avoid the awkwardness of the phrase ** for the more ])erfect estahlishment of a collepfe in connection with the United Church of En^j^land and Ireland within the diocese of Toronto," whilst the term *' Students in the said College, " is interpi-eted hy the corresponding^' phrases of the older Charter from which it is derived, <'p:raduates of our said College," " Chancellor of our said College," &c., all of which necessarily imply that the word "College" hears the sense of "University." The phrase in the Trinity Charter " Students in our said College," has therefore an equivalent meaning to the phrase " Students in the said University," and includes all students duly matriculated in the several faculties in accordance with the statutes, rules and ordinances of the University. A comparison with tlie Cliartor granted hy Queen Elizaheth to Trinity College. Duhlin, shows that therehi is to be found the original of the somewhat remarkable clause as to the students liaving ''liberty within them- selves of performing all scholastic exorcises,'' &c.

Even under the restricted Charter of Charles I. statutory power was given to the Provost and a majority of the Fellows (see Statutes cap. IV.) to lay down and conclude all matters appertaining to the conferring of degrees, under which powers the University of Dublin has from time to time conferred degrees in absentia, and has, under date 13 December 1862, passed a special statute with regard to the conferring of such degrees. Both Oxford and Cambridge have statutes enabling those Universities to grant degrees in alsentid under special circumstances. A comparison of the Trinity Charter with that of King's College, Toronto, will also show that in the later Charter the powers of Convocation (the body in which inherently resides the right of conferring degrees imless the same is expressly limited by provisions of the Charter) were enlarged hy the deliberate omission of the words "all such and the like privileges as are enjoyed by the members of the Convocation of our University of Oxford," and the substitution instead thereof of the words "all such powers in regard to conferring of degrees and other matters as shall be assigned to them by any rules and regulations of the College Council, sanctioned and con- firmed by the Lord Bishop or Bishops aforesaid," &c. Thus our degree conferring power is limited only by the enactments of the College Council and the necessity of the sanction of the Lord Bishop or Bishops. Both these conditions have been complied with in the conferring of Degrees in Music on persons resident in England. Reverting to the statement in the Address in relation to the conferring of degrees on absent persons (either 10 Supplemevt to Memorial, degrees in general or musical degrees in particular) it will be observed that the phrase employed is that " this power is not exercised by our Universities." Note this language. The Address carefully abstains from alleging that the power is not possessed or enjojied b}- the Home Universities. It could not have been truthfully stated that the Universities of the United Kingdom generally do not possess or enjoy this power, although in the case of Oxford and Cambridge the extent to which it is exercised is limited by special Statutes of those Universities. (4) The peculiar position of Music with regard to residence should also be noticed. In this Faculty residence is not required in any Ihiiversity as a condition for degrees. The requirements at Trinity University, Toronto, by which the candidate, having duly matriculated and thus become a member of the Uni- sity, obtains his Degree in this Faculty by passing the necessary examinations, &c., without residence are strictly analogous to the requirements of otlier Uni- versities. It is therefore impossible in the case of Music to attach to the phrase *' students in the said College " a local or residential sense, even if this could be done in the case of other Faculties. The dis- tinctions between Music and the other Faculties is an historical one, and has obtained ever since the institution of Musical Degrees. In the University of Dublin residence is not a necessary qualification for Degrees in any Faculty. (See Dubhn University (Calendar, 1890, page 19.) At Oxford no residence or Academical standing is re- quired for the Degree of Bachelor of Music (.SV^ Oxford University Calendar, 1890, p. 70).

Reference is made Ion pp. 8 and 9 of the Memorial to the cases of London land Durham. (5) The University of Trinity College, Toronto, at present consists of two Arts Colleges, with three Medical Colleges and one College of Music in affiliation. There are al)()ut 400 undergraduates in the several Arts and Faculties, and the number of degrees conferred in 1889 was as follows : — D.C.L. {Honoris Cnusd) Mus.

Theology 6 1 1 1 1 1 68 1 4 19 18 15 2 (6) It is important to distinguish the case of Trinity University, Toronto, from what might at first sight appear a parallel instance — the case of certain Australian Universities, notably the Universities of Sydney and Melbourne, which received from the Crown under date 27th February, 1858, and 14th March, 1859, letters patent giving to their degrees rank in the United i 12 Supplement to Memorial. Kingdom. These Universities had been incorporated under Acts of the Austrahan legislatures, and their degi-ees had therefore no legal standing outside the jurisdiction of the legislatures concerned. It was to remedy this that a petition was presented to the Crown reciting these facts and praying legal status might be given to their degrees in the United Kingdom, which was granted as above-mentioned. In the case of Trinity University, Toronto, its power to confer degrees proceeds immediately from its constitution as a University by the Crown under Royal Charter, in precisely the same way as that of the more modern Universities of the United Kingdom, and its degrees have legal rank therefore throughout the Empire. (7) In addition to the statements in the memorial on pages 11 and 12, a full comparative table showing the relative requirements of Trinity University, Toronto, and the Universities of the United Kingdom, in regard to degrees in music is herewith submitted {ser Appendix III.) The question of the Arts qualifications will be dealt with under a separate division of this Memorial. It will be seen that so far as the musical requirements for the degrees of Mus. Bac. and Mus. Doc. are concerned those of Trinity University, Toronto, are at least, fully equal to the general standard required by the Home Universities. It may be pointed out that for Mus. Ba^. three examina- tions are required at Trhiity University, Toronto, and no other university requires more than two. A comparison of our requirements for the final examination with those of Oxford and Cambridge, will, it is believed, fully show the searching character of our examinations ; the require- ments as to standing from matriculation for the several degrees are in our case more severe than at any ipp Supplement to Memorial. 13 incorporated es, and their ^ outside the I. It was to to the Crown atus might be Qgdom, which Toronto, its ately from its under Royal '> of the more gdom, and its X the Empire. the memorial e showing the Toronto, and in regard to Appendix III.) be dealt with il. It will be iients for the ticerned those fully equal to Universities, iree exaniina- I'onto, and no i comparison in with those id, fully show ; the require - I" the sever il han at any University in England. It may be noticed that the Cambridge requirement of three years interval from Mus. Bac. was passed as lately as Easter term 1889. The report of the Board of Musical Studies which recom- mended the alteration, stated that previously it had been possible to satisfy the requirements for both Mus. Bac. and Mus. Doc. in the space of nine months. See Cambridge University '■'■ Reporter'' for the academical year 1888-9, ])age 445. The adoption by my University of the system of three graduated annual examinations for the degree of Mus. Bac. has undoubtedly tended to stimulate as well as accurately test the knowledge of theoretical music on the part of candidates, whilst the application to the faculty of music of the same principle of accurate marking by written papers in which the candidate is personally unknown to the examiner, instead of the traditional system still for the most part largely retained, of personal and viva I'ore examination of tlie candidate has removed every possibility of uncertainty in the results of the ex- aminations. A consideration of the differentiating features of the Toronto requirements pointed out above will show tliat the Canadian University was neither under-bidding nor slavishly copying the Home Universities in its regulations. Moreover, the close connection which had from its inception existed between Trinity University, Toronto and the ancient Universities of England had given to its responsible authorities such an intimate acquaintance with hnglish metliods of examination as was om))ly sufficient to prevent any risk of the standard being lowered through lack of such knowledge on their part. It is stated in the Address presented to your Lordship that down to the year 1888 there had already been made four Mus Docs, and tifty-four Mus. Bacs. by m 14 Snpplement to Memorial. m !!!! Trinity University, Toronto. Full particulars with regard to these degrees are contained in Appendix IV. to this Memorial. It is there shown that of the four Mus. ])ocs. one was an ad ciindcm Mus.

This will explain the other instance mentioned of similar failure on the part of a candidate who holds the Mus. Bac. degree of Trinity University, Toronto. It will be seen, on referring to Ai)pendix V. that of those who failed at the Toronto University examinations from 1885 to 1888, 27 per cent, held the diplomas of Trinity College, London, or of the College of Organists. (0) The question of preliminary qualification was not referred to in the ^Memorial as it was thought by the Toronto authorities to be of a comparatively unimportant point of detail. As, however, considerable importance appears to be attached to the matter, a full statement is now given. Prior to 1887, candidates for admission to the faculty of music, of Trinity University, Toronto, were required either to be graduates in Arts, or to produce a satisfactory certificate of having spent 5 years in the study and practice of music. In 1887, one year after extending its examinations to England, with the view of preventing any possible lowering of the English require- ments through its action, the University of its own accord entirely remodelled its preliminary qualifications. The requirement of five years previously spent in the study and jjractice of music was extended to all candidates for degrees in music. This kind of qualification is required at no other university than Dublin and Trinity, Toronto ; and at once raises the general age at which candidates present themselves for matriculation to a period of life consideral)ly beyond that of the ordinary under-graduate, or that at which men usually enter as candidates for such elementary exa'^inations prior to matriculation as are 1 f » \ . y t 16 Supplement to Memorial. r &■ m required by the English Universities generally. It may be noted here that neither at Oxford nor Cambridge do the preliminary requirements necessitate a knowledge of any other language than English, whilst at Durham the candi- date is required to pass only in l^^nglish, geography, and arithmetic. These are clearly tests of a very elementary description. Trinity University, Toronto, felt that it was out of the question for it in any way to enter upon the field of general csducation in England, a thing which it has never done and has no intention of doing. The adoption of a comjmlsory examination test in all cases would have conflicted with this and compelled the University to hold Art examinations in the United Kingdom. A minimum Arts qualification was there- fore imposed upon all candidates not producing other satisfactory examination certificates, that they should furnish satisfactory evidence of their attainments in the shape of a certificate from some responsible person either the Head Master of the candidates' school or a Master of Arts of some recognised University that they had previously received a good general education. This method was adopted from the practice which prevailed at the University of Cambridge up to some ten years ago. The Cambridge certificate, however, required only the statement from a Master of Arts that he had examined the candidate and considered him a fit person to become a member of the University of Cambridge. In place of this certificate as to the opinion of a Master of Arts — we require the certificate of a Master of Arts or Head Master of the candidate's school as to a previous fact. It can hardly be contended that the degrees of the great Universities of England were subjected to unfair competition by the adoption on the part of a Colonial University of this requirement of sufficient evidence from a trustworthy was Supplement to Memorial. 17 may be do tlie :e of any e cancli- )hy, and mentary 'it it was poll the ivliicli it The ill cases led the United s there- ig other should 1 in the in either [aster of eviously lod was liversity inbridf^e from a ate and of the icate as ire the • of the I hardly 'ersities by the of this iworthy source as to the previous education of the candidate, in default of which he could not be admitted to matricula- tion, although he might have spent any number of years in the study and practice of music. It may be mentioned that at Trinity College, London, one of the memorialising bodies, preliminary Arts requirements are entirely dispensed with in the case of candidates for their diplomas who have attained the age of 40 years. As the change above mentioned was only made in 1887 and a standing of at least two years is necessary for admission to our Mus. Bac. degree, it will be obvious that the graduates to the end of 1888 referred to in the x\ddress would have matriculated under our prior regulations. It may therefore be of interest to notice the educational standing of these graduates at a time when the actual regulations of the University did not necessitate an Arts qualitication. Whilst the total number of graduates admitted to the Mus. Bac. degree resident in England (including those admitted ad eimdem gradum) was 53, 10 of these were graduates of universities in the United Kingdom, I was an undergraduate in holy orders, 10 possessed the Art certiticate of Trinity College, London, 3 possessed Local certificates, (2 senior and 1 higher) of the Oxford and Cambridge Board, 5 lield certilicates from other examining bodies of acknowledged standing, 11 had received a good grammai' school education in well-known schools in the United Kingdom, (3 had been privately educated, and of the remaining 7, one now residing in New York was F.C.O. and L.K.A.M. ; another was also F.C.O. ; a third was A.R.A.M. and since admitted to the degree of Mus. Doc. by the Archbishop of Canterbury ; a fourth was a professor of music in Belfast; the previous musical studies of the tifth were certilied to by Dr. Creser, V'- it 18 Supplement to Memorial. Mils. Doc, Oxford; and the educational qualifications of the remaining two are not known. It will be seen that apart from any express Arts requirements the musical tests were severe enough to prevent persons from attaining to the degree who were not possessed of previous good educational qualifications. I li Eiii: 1 1 ■ I (10) With regard to the point made in the Address that some of the persons holding Toronto Mus. Bac. degrees had omitted the word ''Toronto" after their degree, the wording of the Address appears to have confined this matter to such persons as had failed at other insti- tutions. This number is so infinitesimal that the point seems hardly worth discussing ; but it might be well, perhaps, to state that it does not appear to be customary for graduates in music to add the name of their University after their degree. On this point reference is made to Appendix VI., containing a number of advertisements in recent musical publications showing the general practice. The game is obvious even from Appendix D itself, and is further emphasised l)y the Official Report for 1888-i) of the College of Organists. What has already been said with regard to the equivalents of the Toronto Standard to that of the Home Universities will suffice to meet the contention, if it is really advanced, that our graduates should adopt a difierent usage from that which is customary and prevalent. In Appendix VI will also be found ii detailed discussion of certain other points of Appentlix 1). (11) In conclusion your niemoriahst desn-cs, on behall of the University he represents, to protest iji tlie strongest way against the evident lack of proper enquiry, on tiie part of the signatories to the Address which has led them to Supplement to Memorial. 19 attach their names to a document of so inaccm'ate and mis- leading a character (see Appendix VII.) as also against the attempt to lend weight to the same by connecting it with the authority of great Universities which had given no such authorisation to its contents. Without one word of warning to the institution primarily concerned an Address impeaching many points of detail in regard to the action of Trinity University, Toronto, has been got up in consequence of a meeting held in London, convened by a circular issued by a Mr. Southgate, who is believed to be proprietor of a weekly musical journal published in London. Beyond this it has not been found possible to trace the authorship of the document, prominent signa- tories both at Oxford iind Cambridge having expressed themselves as unable to furnish any information on this point. As, however, tlic document has been shown to be so misleading and to possess no ade(iU!ite authorisation your memorialist conlidently leaves tho matter in the hands of your Lordship, assured that you will take such steps as mav be necessarv to ensure to Trinitv l-niversitv, Toronto, in accordance with the powers conferred by its Royal Cliarter, the same privileges in this matter as are enjoyed by the Universities of the United Kingdom. ■ ' '' I Signed on behalf of the University, C.

As to Statements in the Address concerning Degrees conjerred. Eeferring to page 4 of the Address giving the numbers of Degrees granted by the University of Trinity College, Toronto, we find that — In 1886, 8 Mus. Doc. Degrees were granted; of these, one was an ad exindein Mus. Doc. from Cambridge, one was conferred on the organist of Trinity Church, New York, and the third was the only one in England. Both these two last were already Mus. Bacs. of Universities in the United Kingdom. 8 Mus. Ihtc. Degrees ; of these, two were Canadian candidates in ordinary course, and the third was an English Mus. Bac. admitted ad eundem. In 1887, 1 Mus. Doc. Degree. He was a Mus. Bac. of Oxfor-l. 2-4 Mus. Bac.

In 1888 there were no Degrees of Mus. Doc granted. 27 Mtu. Bac. Degrees; 25 were EngHsh candidates admitted on examination, one was ad eundem fi'om Cambridge, and the other was a Canadian candidate. f2 As to APPENDIX V.

As to failures at Examinations, and other Statistics as to Candidates, dc. The total number of failures at examinations of Trinity University, Toronto, in Music, for English candidates up to and including 1888, was 89, ten of whom, however, subsequently succeeded in obtaining the degree. Of the 29 who thus entirely failed, five held the diploma of Associate or Licentiate of Trinity College, London ; four of Associate or Fellow of tlie College of Organists; and one of Ijicentiate of the Koyal Academy of Music, two holding diplomas from two of these bodies. The above figures show, therefore, that out of a total of 29, eight, or just 27 per cent, of the failures to obtain the musical degree of Trinity University, held the diplomas of institutions Avhich have joined in the Address to your Lordship against the action of Trinity University, Toronto. It may be noted that of the 44 Bachelors of Music by examination, 17 held the diploma of Licentiate or Associate of Trinity College, London, 9 of Associate or Fellow of the College of Organists, and 6 of Associate or Licentiate of the Royal Academy of Music ; allowing for those who held two or more of tiiese diplomas, 2G of the 44 or 59 per cent, of these graduates hold diplomas of one or other of these bodies. The following shows the number of persons in England who have been candidates at the several examinations held in the years 1885 to 1889, for the Mus. Bac.

With regard to the degree of Mus. Doc, statistics have been given up to and iiichiding 1888 in Appendix IV. In 1889, four Mus. Doc. do,ii;rccs were conferred on candidates, tln-eo of wliom were Mus. Bacs. of English Universities, and the other was gold medallist of Trinity University, Toronto in 1887. In 1890, one Mus. Doc. degree was conferred in course on a silver medallist of 1H.S7 (it may be noted that there were five other candidates for the degree who were rejected) ; and one Mus. Doc. Honoris Causa on a Mus. Bac. of Oxford, appointed an examiner for Trinity University, Toronto. The following Statistics refer to Canadian candidates for the Degree of Mus.

Discussion on Appendix D to the Address, APPENDIX VI. Dismission on Appendix D to the Addrrtts. The matters contained in Appendix D appear to be of such a character as not to require any very detailed treatment. It may, however, be mentioned that numbers 5 and 12 refer to Messrs. T. Johnson and Howlett, who are not Mus. Ikes, of Trinity University, Toronto. Several of the clippings are mere newspaper accounts, for which the persons mentioned arc not responsible, whilst of the advertisements No. 1 applies to musicians of such eminence as Doctors Hopkins, Longhurst, and liOtt. No. 11 states on its face that Mr. "Williams-Williams is a silver medallist of Trinity University, Toronto ; whilst the document itself sufficiently explains the absence of the name of the University in the three or four other instances, as it is clear from (for example) No. 15 that it is not usual to insert it in the case of other Universities. It may bo mentioned that document 16, containing a letter from Mr. W. Sunnier, of the Wimbledon College, to a certain T. H. Papwortli, appears to be irrelevant, as Mr. Papworth has never been admitted to the Faculty of Music of Trinity University, Toronto. ArPKNnix VI.

" Three gentlemen holding offices as church organists in this country were appointed referees in England, and the degree of Mas. Doc. m ti»e University of Trinity College, Toronto, hnnoris ciimd, was conferred on tliom by that body. Their names are in the Calendar for 188'.) as Kxaminers in the Faculty of Music." See Memorial, page 8. It seems a misleading way of describing such distinguished musicians as Drs. Hopkins, Longhurst, and Lott as three "church organists." It may Ijc noticed tliat Dr. Hopkins has examined for the College of Organists in IB dillerent years. Dr. Longhurst twice, ajid Dr. Lott on seven ditVerent occasions. Drs. Hopkins and Longhurst also appear on the list of public Examiners in Music for Trinity College, London, in which the names of Examiners from 187-1 down to the present time are given. It may be noticed that even at the English Universities considerable difficulty is felt in obtaining Examiners in Music solely from the number of those who have taken degrees in music in tbo regular coiu'se. In Easter term, I88i), in the Ueport ot the Special Hoard of Music for Cambridge (srf Cambridge I'niversity " lU porter," 188H-!), page 4r»i5), it was resolved to alter the previous regulations requiring "one at least of the two or more Examiners for the degree a2 APPENDIX VII. of Mus. Bac. and Mus. Doc. to bo eitlier a member of the Senate, or have been admitted to t\w Doyircc of Muh. Doc, in the University," by the insertion of the further alternativt "or have been admitted to the title of that degree " (that is to an honorary degree). This will be sufficient to dispose of the implied reflection contained in the Address that Drs. Hopkins, Longhurst, and Lott had been admitted to the degree of Mus. Doc. (honoris rausa) by Trinity University, Toro)ito. V- 18. On the unauthorised affixing of signatures under the titles of the several Universities of Oxford, Cambridge and London to the Address. (See Supplement to the Memorial, pages H to 5, also Appendix I.) t Ci APPENDIX VII. Part 2. Mis-statrments mtule at the intemew with Lord Kmitsfordj as leporleil In titr " Musical Stumlard''^ of March 15th, 1889. 1. " Mr. T. L. Soutljgate read a letter from Mr. Gerard Cobb, Chairman of the Hoard of Music, Cambridge University, in which tliat g "itlemau stated the full concurrence of the Cambridge Senate and authorities with the action of the deputation." On this See page 4 of the Supplement to the Memorial, and Appendix I. 2, " The Rev. Dr. Hunt said that Dr. E. J. Hopkins had under pressure of other work receded from the position of an Examiner ttt-ting for Trinity College, Toronto, and now entirely disapproved of these examinations being held in this country." S«« Memorial, page 18. The cablegrams referred to were us follows ;— To Dr. Hopkins, from Provost Body. " Did you authorise Hunt to state that you now entirely dis- approved of our examinations being held in England ? " Reply of Dr. Hopkins to Provost Body. " Certainly not. Hunt sent correction to paper, refused insertion." 8. " Mr. W. H. Cummings pointed out with regard to the arrangements being completely carri'^d out in this country the signiticaiil fact that a new Examiner had been appointed to succeed Dr. Hopkins, and had been made a Canadian Mus. Doc. before it seemed possible for suflicient time to elapse to allow of instruction and conlirmation being received from headquarters in confirmation thereof." This refers to Mr. Benjamin Agutter, Mus. Bac, Oxon., Organist of St. Peter's, Streatham. Dr. Agutter was duly appointed Examiner in Music for the year 1889-90 by the governing body of the University at its February meeting in Toronto, and his Mus. Doc. degree was regularly conferred by the Vicc-Chancellor in Toronto in the same O AI'PKNDIX VII. month after having' duly passed Convocation. This appoint- ment and the fact that the degree had been conferred were then cabled over to England. 4. " Mr. T. L. Southgatc read an extract from a Canadian Act incorporating the Collc','o, by which it appeared that tlio (iovernor of the Province was invested with visitorial powers over the Institution." On reference to the Act (" An Act to incorporate Trinity College," 1851), it will be found that the powers given to the Lieutenant-Ciovcrnor are in no way whatever of a vibitorial character. NoTK.— The large number of statements thus seriously calculated to mislead, contained in the Address and made by members of the deputation secnjs in itself to show that the signatures of the distinguished persons wiiich appear at the foot of the Address must have been given without any duo enquiry into the accuracy of the large number of allegations therein contained. ft tc 6 ! : M Hi 6 ell %ji (5 C3 London, 24t/t February, 1890. To f^ JRt^/if fl"o». Lort? Knutsford, G.C.M.G. H.M. Secretary of State for the Colonies. My Lord, We beg most respectfully to call your Lordship's attention to the action in this country of the "University of Trinity College, Toronto, Canada," an institution other than and quite independent of '• The University of Toronto." The University of Trinity College is an offshoot of the University of Toronto which was founded by an Act of the Provincial Legislature, 1st January, 1850. Owing to the Faculty of Divinity having been suppressed, and other changes made in that University, then known as " King's College," the Bishop of Toronto made an appeal to the Churchmen of the Province to erect a College that should be under the control of the Church of England. A large sum of money was received for this purpose from England. The Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts gave £2,000 and a grant of seven acres of land within the precincts of the City of Toronto. The Society for the promotion of Christian Knowledge granted £8,000 the University of Oxford J6500, and private individuals subscribed upwards of £4,000. Again, in 1864, a sum of £6,000 was raised in England : and as late as 1884, the Provost came to England and collected £5,000 in Oxford ; he further received grants from the University of Cambridge, £3,000 from the Society for the Promotion of Christian Knowledge, a grant from the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, and many subscrip- tions from private benefactors. The College was constituted a body corporate by an Act of the Legislature of the Province of Canada, 15 Vic, cap 82, August 2, 185x ; and a Charter was granted to it by Her Majesty the Queen bearing date 16th July, 1862, at which period Canada was a Crown Colony. iu that Document, after reciting the Canadian Act of Incorporation ADUBK8M. II ■ of Trinity College, and adverting to the application made for a Royal Charter, it goes on to say — "Now know ye that We having taken the premises into our "Royal consideration, and being willing to promote the more "perfect establishment withm the Diocese of Toronto\ of a College "in connection with the United Churcli of England and Ireland, " for the education of youth in the doctrines and duties of the " Christian Religion as inculcated by that Church, and for the "instruction in the various branches of science and literature " which are taught in the Universities of the United Kingdom, "have of our special grace, certain knowledge and mere motion, " willed, ordained and granted, and do by these presents, for us, " our heirs and successors will, ordain and grant that the said " College shall be a University, and shall have and enjoy all such "and the like privileges as are enjoyed by the Universities of our " United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, so far as the " same are capable of being had or enjoyed by virtue of these our " Letters Patent. And that the Students in the said College] shall "have liberty and faculty of taking the degrees of Bachelor, "Master, and Doctor in the several Arts and Faculties at " appointed times, and shall have liberty within themselves of "performing all scholastic exercises for the conferring such "Degrees in such manner as shall be directed by the Statutes, "Rules, and Ordinances of the said College." The government of the University of Trinity College, Toronto, is, by the Royal Charter, vested in the Corporation of Trinity College, which body, by the Act of the Provincial Legislature cited above, is composed of the Bishops of the five Dioceses into which the original Diocese of Toronto has been divided, viz., Ontario, Toronto, Algoma, Huron, and Niagara ; of sixteen members nominated by these Bishops from their respective Dioceses, the Trustees, ex-o(/icio Members of the University, and elected Members of the Council. Copies of the Act of Parliament (Canada), the Royal Charter, and the last Official Calendar issued, accompany this Memorial. Your Memorialists expressly disclaim any desire to criticise or comment on the action of the University of Trinity College, Toronto, so far as its working in Canada is concerned. Their contention is, that the course it has lately taken in examining Candidates and i m ADDRESS. 6 granting Degrees in Music in England is outside its duties, that such procedure was not in the intentions of its founders, and is beyond the powers accorded to it in Her Majesty's Charter. Although the University of Trinity (College, Toronto, was estab- lished in 1852, it seems that no Teachers have been appointed to give systematic instruction in Music. Due provision has been made for Teachers and Lecturers in Litterae Humaniores, Mathematics, Science, Law, Medicine, and Divinity ; but for the faculty of Music none have been appointed, and the three Examiners named in the list of University Officers reside in England. It would thus appear as if the examination work in this faculty is done away from the College, and takes place in England. At page 100 of tlie Calendar for 1889, among the list of Doctors of Music is — "1858, George William Strathy," — and a footnote at the bottom of the page states tliat this gentleman is " Professor of Music in Trinity College." But it should be noted that his name does not appear in the list of Professors, Lecturers, and Teachers given at page 21 of the same Calendar, nor as an Examiner in the list to be found at pages 16 and 17. It is clear that he takes no part in the testing of Candidates, and does not exercise the ordinary duties of an University Professor. In the year 1885, for the first time a " Registrar " in England was appointed, viz., the Rev. E. K. Kendall, B.A. Cantab., of Southsea, and his name so appears in the Calendar for 1889. For some time past the following advertisement has appeared in The Musical Standard, and is still repeated : — UNIVERSITY OF TRINITY COLLEGE, TORONTO. The Chuhch of England University of Upper Canada. ANNUAL EXAMINATIONS for the Degree of BACHELOR of MUSIC will bo hold simultaneously in TORONTO and LONDON. Women are admissible to these Examinations. For particulars apply to Rev. E. K. KEN- DALL, U.C.L., Registrar for England,South8ea. In the Calendar last issued (page 71) appears the following notification : — " Examinations will be held in London simultaneously with those held in Toronto." The documents hereto annexed, marked A, B and C, are issued by Mr. Kendall. 6 ADDRRHS. In the year 1886, three gentlemen holding offices as Church Organists in this country, were appointed " Referees in England," and the Degree of Mus. Doc. in the University of Trinity College, Toronto {honons causa) was conferred on them by that Body. Their names are in the Calendar for the year 1889 (page 17) as "Examiners in the Faculty of Music." In the list of Examiners in Arts (page 16) appears one for '^ Harmon i/," but in the "Faculty of Music," the only names given are those of the three English Organists referred to above. There are thus no Examiners in this Faculty proper resident in Canada. So far as the issuing of Degrees in this country is concerned, the whole of the procedure takes place in Enyland. According to the published Ordinances of the College (p. 20), every Candidate for Degrees in Arts is required to keep nine terms, attending 76 per cent, of the Lectures delivered in the term by each Professor or Lecturer whose lectures he is required to attend, and provision is made for his attendance at chapel, &c. The regulation goes on to say — " The keeping of terms may, however, be dispensed with " in individual cases, in which application to that effect shall " have been made to the Corporation, and the grounds assigned •' by the applicant unanimously approved by the Corporation. In " such case, the applicant must not be less than 25 years of age, "and will be required to pass the Matriculation Examination, the "Primary, the Previous, and the Final Examinations at intervals " of not less than those which are prescribed in the case of " resident students." The Uiiivorsities which have the power to grant Degrees in Music in Great Britain and Ireland, are those of Oxford, Cambridge, Dublin, Durham, London, St. Andrews, the Koyal University of Ireland, and the Victoria University (Manchester) ; and by prescriptive custom, the Archbishop of Canterbury has the right of conferring the Degree of Mus. Doc. ; the Royal College of Music also has power to confer Musical Degrees. At the Universities, the examinations for degrees are held in situ (the University of London excepted, vide Charter, January 6th, 1868), and tlie degrees are not granted in ahsentin. It should be noted that by the Royal Charter granted io the Unive^ siiy of Trinity College, Toronto, it had conferred on it only " all such and the like privileges as are enjoyed by the Universities of our United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, so far as the same are capable of being had or enjoyed by virtue of these our Letters Patent." I ^■Hff « I ID AODRP.SS. 7 Your AfemoriaHsts tlierefnre maintain : — Ist. That the Charter of this Canadian institution grants to it local and restricted powers only: tlie terms are, "to promote the more perfect establishment tcithin the Diocese of Toronto of a College," &c., and consequently its formal representation for granting degrees by a " Registrar in England" is beyond its lawful powers. 2nd. That those on whom it assumes to confer degrees by the above-mentioned proceedings in England are not such " Students in the said College " as the Charter clearly intends and empowers the governing authorities to deal with, nor iiave they complied with the standing Ordinances. 8rd. That according to the existing regulations of the College set forth above and in document C, as to candidates for Degrees in Arts being required to keep certain terms and attend a proportion of lectures, it is distinctly intended that the students and candidates must be resident, and have gone through a systematic course of educa- tion at the institution in Canada. The whole tenor of the Regulations point to the conclusion that only lortif students are meant to be dealt with. 4th. That even if the power of granting Degrees conferred by the Charter be not restricted to those who have received instruction at the University itself, the Charter did not confer the privilege of granting them in absentia, tliat being a power which is not exercised by our Universities. 5th. That the action of this colonial institution is tUtra vires, and is also in direct antagonism with the rights and duties of the Musical Faculties of our National Universities, and constitutes an infringement of their privileges. The University of Trinity College, Toronto, is entitled to no exceptional privileges or powers beyond those enjoyed by the English Universities in teaching and conferring Degrees in various Faculties. Ample provision exists in England for testing acquirements in all branches of knowledge by our legalized establishments, and the inter- vention in this country of any colonial or foreign University, &c., is wholly unnecessary. At all the British Universities candidates for Degrees in Music have first to pass certain literary tests, but at the University of Trinity College, Toronto, no such tests are required : moreover, the examinations in Music are not on a parity with the 8 ADDHEgB. standard enforced by the Professors and Boards at our Universities. It is found that several persons who have repeatedly failed to pass the rudimentary tests required by our English examining institutions, have obtained the Toronto Degrees, and some of those persons have dropped the indication " Toronto," affixing to their names in advertise- ments, Ac, the simple titles, " Mns. liac." and "Mus. Doc," but not showing their source. This proceeding is calculated to mislead the public, who, in the absence of any indications as to the particular University from which the Degree is dei-ived, might naturally assume that it had been conferred by one of the Universities of the United Kingdom. Some examples of these advertisements, notices, &c., are hereto annexed (Document D). According to pages 100 and 105 of the last issue of the Calendar of the University of Trinity College, Toronto — In 1886 8 Mus. Doc. degrees were granted. 3 Mus. Bac. In 1887 1 Mus. Doc. 24 Mus. Bac. In 1888 27 Mus. Bac. >> »» I) >> The Report for 1889 is not yet published, but it will be seen that down to the year 1888, there have already been made 4 Mus. Docs., and 54 Mus. Bacs. The Calendar for 1889 (page 109) gives the names of 105 persons, male and female, styled " Undergraduates in music." It is not known how many of these persons intend to avail themselves of the procedure in England above described, but it is presumed they will all become candidates for Degrees in Music. The operations of the University of Trinity College Toronto, in England, and the harm that its action is doing to the true interests of music in this country, have for some time past been the subject of correspondence and notice in tlie press. Lately, and especially since the formal establishment of the Associated Board of Examination formed by the Eoyal College of Music and the Royal Academy of Music, under the presidency of H.R.H. the Prince of Wales, some of the daily and other newspapers have drawn attention to the injury which is being done by the issuing of unauthorised degrees and diplomas in music. If this apparent violation of the provisions of the Royal Charter be permitted, it- should be pointed out that tlie example of this Canadian institution may induce competition from some of the many American Universities, ready to establish agencies in England ; the result would certainly tend tu the lowering of the standard of fift> fflnibtrfi ^nrbcn ADOREH8. education required of Candidates, and the discrediting of degrees generally. Altliough at present the University of Trinity College, Toronto, has only dealt with the Faculty of Mmie iu this country, it may, if this claim is allowed, proceed to confer degrees in Arts, Law, Divinity, and Medicine in England ; so that in the event of an enlargement of the sphere of action on its present lines, all these subjects could like- wise be dealt with, to the manifest injury of the degrees of the Universities of the United Kingdom, and in opposition to the prerogatives of the various Institutions legally charged with such powers and duties in this country. That this apprehension is not altogether groundless, will be seen from the fact that it has appointed a representative in Melbourne, and assumes to grant degrees in Divinity in Australia, vide p. 02 of the Calendar. We earnestly invite your Lordship's attention to the above state- ment of facts respecting the granting of Degrees tn absentia to pei'sons residing in this country by the University of Trinity College, Toronto, a proceeding which we venture to think is inconsistent with the terms of the Charter granted by Her Majesty the Queen. We would respect- fully suggest that your Lordship will officially call the attention of the Authorities of this Institution to the non-compliance with the con- ditions of that Charter ; and further, that such measures as your Lordship may deem expedient may be taken to prevent any further granting of like Degrees.
