 tativea of the Selkirk ff'ttlers were 
 ARBembled to set agoing the enterprise. The 
 Rev. Mr. Black, who wan a man of fervor and 
 hope, now saw what he had desired for many 
 a year about to be accompliflhed, and wa« in 
 high apirits. The prospects of obtaining 
 students were diFcusaed, and the probability 
 of eight or ten young men coming forward for 
 the firet class seemed good. The neces>sity for 
 Dushing on and completing the half finished 
 building was admitted, and arrangements 
 were made for temporary class rooms. A cou 
 sidt^rable discussion arose as to the name to 
 be given the college. Some of the true-blues 
 insisted on the word "Presbyterian" being in 
 some way inoorporated, others thought one of 
 
 dead, JameB Harper and James Murray. The 
 ► chool had become the best parish school in the 
 si-ttlenient. In the ye^r before the rebellion, 
 the Rev. ])<*vid Whimster, at that time a 
 student, had come to Red Rivt r as teacher of 
 this school, and bad eiven educational matters 
 ID Kildonan a decided impulse. Local compli- 
 cations had led to a number of the officer* of 
 the Hudson's Bay Company encouraging the 
 people of Kildonan bo bf }^in an institution of 
 higher learning, and asubscription — liberal for 
 those days — was bf gun for its establishment. 
 An energetic committee had been chosj^n, and 
 at the time of the arriva'i of the writer in Oct- 
 ober, 1H71, the building (pUto 2) was half 
 erected. The college was of log, built in Red

 WORK BKOl'N. 
 
 Ofl the lObh of November, 1S71, claHaea 
 opened and Hev»in BtudenftH wtre enroll* d. The 
 tirnb recitation in Manit.ili* 0(jlle((e wb,» made 
 by Mr. John Macbuch. a well Iruown citi/.en 
 of Winnipeg tu day. Dr. \V H. Sutherland, 
 of Stony Mt.,Mr Jamea ]ilacU,of Shoal Lake, 
 Mr. Hugh D. Fra.ser.ifdraaBniorp, Mr. Francis 
 Heron, and Mr K. H. Koipe, now deceased 
 were members of thin finit clasH. Inflbriiction 
 had been given in olafsica for two yearB be- 
 fore by Mr. Black, and Mr. Whimater had 
 axaiated in other brauche*. h'or a abort time 
 ab 6r8t ilie olas.s met in a room of the Kil- 
 donan acboolcouKe, but aa the acommodation 
 became too email a change was made to the 
 comfortable atone reaidence o( Mr. Donald 
 Murray, KUdouan (Plate 1), and this may be 
 called the f^rst Manit:))ia College building. 
 At the end of the aeeaion eeveuteen ntudenta 
 were in attendance. The atafT of tbia fir^it 
 aeaaion conaisted of the writer, the onlv regu- 
 lar profeaaor, R'jv. Mr. I'lask, who took bhv- 
 eral claaaea in Latin and Greek, in which de- 
 partment he waa v»ell verged, and Mr. John 
 Bell, afterwarda M. P. P. tor Springfield, 
 teacher in commercial »iibjecta. The con- 
 dibiona were aumewbat againab the yonng col- 
 lege, in the unyfttled atate of the coun«^^rv,and 
 the imperfect appliancea for teaching, but the 
 "perfervidnm ingenimn Scotorum' of both 
 teachera and atudents brought the aeaaion to a 
 cloae with a hoiieful feeling for the fntnre, 
 
 A UNION OOtXEOK. 
 
 At this date (1872) PreabyterianiBrr. in Can 
 ada waa divided. The maritime provincea 
 were oocupied by two diatinot Presbyterian 
 churches, and in Ontario and (Quebec the Can 
 adian branch of the Church of Scotland and 
 the Canada Preabyberian ohurch were yot 
 aeparabe The Presbyterian work in the 
 Njrthweat had, up to thie time, hfen done by 
 the Canada Preabvterian shurcb, but the 
 other branch waa anxioua to be repreaented in 
 the weat aa well. It waa the good fortune of 
 Manitoba college to be an example of brother- 
 ly love several years before the union of 1875. 
 This came aoout in the following way : The 
 Canada Presbyterian Assembly was meeting 
 at Hamilton, Ont., in June, 1^72, and the 
 Church of Scotland Synod at the 
 same time in Kingston. Though the two 
 bodies were negotiating for un- 
 ion, yet they rere coy in taking any Btepa 
 toward CO operation. With the advice of a 
 number of the leaders of the Canada Preaby 
 terian church, '>he writer went down to King- 
 stun and met with the committee of the 
 Church of Scotland. The result waa that the 
 Synod very generotialy agreed to becoiDe 
 roaponaible for the aupport of an educational 
 
 I miSf'ionary, who should co .'P"rate in the (~!ol 
 
 { lege In pur'^uance of thit actiou Rev, Thomas 
 
 I Hart, M A., wiiH appoiiit»i), and even before 
 
 I she time ot union wax mad^ .\ rgular profea- 
 
 , rior. The rehuit of the wiNeaod stateRntanlike 
 
 action on the part tf the two churcliea wah 
 
 that PrefbyterianiHrn wum never divided on the 
 
 prairiea if the wfHt, and thi^ fact pii^yed no 
 
 unimportant part in baateuiug on thi* union 
 
 which took place three years after.

 In the aiitjuirm of 1H72 the college opened in 
 the new huildinfi(plate2),and durii'L' the second 
 HHBhiim 24 Htudei.ts were in atitendame. The 
 worlv of laying oiit a curriculum wiwi now 
 undertaken The general line of Htudy waa 
 that followt'i in L'pper Canadi ('olUge, To- 
 n-nto, a'oni; with a a )mewhat fuller ourse in 
 lh< natural sciences. Three written examiua- 
 tionn were held in tho year, ou« at the end of 
 each College term. The boarding d»'partiuient 
 of the college wan begun in 1872, but tlm new 
 building in which in was acoommjdated wbm 
 not in i» well finihhed condition. While the 
 salariea of the profespora were i).ud from 
 the eawf, yet the work of baildiiu'and furnisii- 
 ing taxed heavily the few people then in Man 
 itoba. The college at ♦ihiH time know the 
 meaning of the expreasion "angnstas rea. '"

 In the (Jeneral Assembly of Ih72 atepa were 
 taki'O to fully organi/.e the ooUege. Acfm- 
 iiiittf e was appointed, of which tfi*' present 
 Chief Juatice of Ivl.kuitoba, then of Toronto, 
 waa Clin vener, fjr the purpone if drafting an 
 act f>f incorpf ration. The act pr"uared was 
 introduced in the LeBialature of M»nitobain 
 the spring of 187^5 and passjrl. J.n the fol- 
 lowing June the Aa.ienibly unpointed the 
 firat t3oard of management. It may be of 
 intert'Ht to give the names of that board ; 
 Flon. A. jr. B. Bannatyne, chairman ; Rev, 
 John Black, Rev, Profeaaor Bryce, Hon. Wm.

 Samuel Donaldson, Rev. John MoNah. Dun- 
 can Macarthur, Gilb-rt McMicken, John F. 
 Bain, .John Fraaer, John Sutherland, M P. 
 P , Duncan Sin'.-lair. Of thia board of fifteen 
 of eighteen yeara ago aeven members are now 
 dead and only three of the survivors aelong to 
 the board to-day. In tbiw year (1873) the 
 General Asaembly passed the code of by-laws 
 for the college, and Manitoba college waa re- 
 cognized aa one of the regular instiliutiona of 
 the church, though having her course open to 
 all, and respecting the religious tenets of all 
 her atudenta. 
 
 REMOVAL TO WINNIPEG DISODSflKI ) . 
 
 Winnipeg waa now becoming Si place of 
 aome importance. In the first yeai of the 
 writer (1871) it had contained onlj' 3G0 peo 
 pie, in the aecond year it had inor<;aaed to 
 600, and in 1873 it numbered l.OOJ. In the 
 last named year action had been taken for its 
 incorporation as a city ; and as being the 
 centre of government, law, education, re- 
 ligion and husineas, its people were arabitioua 
 to have as many progeaaive agenciea as pos- 
 sible placed within it. A iietition of leatiing

 Karly in.THUuary(IS7r>)'^J"'''iuc the session the 
 the first public educational meeting ever held 
 in Wiuni|)»-g took place under the auspices ot 
 the college The "Daily FVee Press" of 
 •January '.'th devooeM ewo calumns and ahalf, 
 its whole editorial space, under the heading 
 "Oollegiana," to iin account cf the meeting. 
 The .neeting was held in tlie court house, a 
 building (;n Main street, near where Ryan's 
 
 MANITOUA COf, 
 
 intereated, and dejiarted convinced that Win- 
 nipeg was to ba the fixture centre of tin west, 
 and that it would be well to m ive the colle><e 
 tiiither. The delegates reconunended that 
 the college should remain another year at Kil- 
 donan, that the buildine; free of ''■^bt 
 be handed over to the Kildonan people, 
 that mora assistance be rendered to 1..8 
 institution than had hitherto been given 
 This decision was, especially in the case of 
 Dr. Ure, one of regret, as tbi delegates had a 
 high admiration for the fitrugjfles which Kil 
 donan had made for educitiun and religion in 
 their pariah.

 was quite largo and respectable, and it evi. 
 donoed the fact that Winnipeg, young and 
 unpretentiouii, an boast of a considerable 
 number of ladies and gentlemen, residents of 
 the city, who have a keen interest in and a 
 warm appreciation of matte's of an educa- 
 tional and an intellectual charbcter." The 
 meeting was a notable one. The chair was 
 taken by the late Col. W. N. K^ennedy

 meeting tof^Hbher nuri delibi^rating for the com 
 mon good. Sbep-< were immediately taken 
 bo prepare n ourriciilum. DitiiculbieB arose on 
 account of the difference of British universiby 
 custom** from thofte in Canada, on account of 
 the divergence between the French Canadian 
 system of Lower Canada,Biid that of Ontario, 
 ard on account of the importance given by 
 8pecialif<tM bo their own depsrtuientH, A 
 "jusbe milieu" was however at last obtained. 
 This was largely acooinplished by a commit 
 tee of half a dozen of memberu including the 
 chanoellnr, tho bishop of Kupertj'.s Land, the 
 late Father Forget, of St. Boniface and re 
 presenbatives of Manitoba College. The com- 
 mittee usually met at Sn. John's college, and 
 many an evening was spent in laying down 
 the lines of the university of the prairies. 
 Those early gatherings were among the mosb 
 
 I fifty or sixby per cent of those parsing univer 
 I sity examir.atioDH. It is pleasing to be able 
 I to a^ate that while there has been 
 I keen ociupebition between the colleges there 
 I has always been the bPRb of feeling. 
 ' The seal of the university adopted in its »-.arly 
 j days is a symbol of its composite and unique 
 character. In one quarter is the rroviucial 
 Arms ; in another beside it representing St. 
 Boniface College is an open Biblf wioti the 
 I appropriate words upon it : "I'ueris his 
 : Scu;ntiam dedit Dfus," Dan. I. 17. B'-low 
 the Provincial arms representing St. .John's 
 Oollege is St John widh his eagle and pen, 
 while on bhe right lower quarter is ohe Mani- 
 toba Collejo device, a vine »ibh the motto, 
 "Floreat." Around the border are the words 
 "Universitaa Manibobanensis," while sur- 
 mounbinp all is the crown in boken of the pru- 
 tt'otion and iutereat of bhe state. In regard to

 THB NEW HOILDINO. 
 
 Ill 1881 and '82 Winniptfir and Manitoba 
 paaHcd through marked clian^eB ui their hip> 
 t jry. The prospect of a trauHContinental rail 
 way c<ttled attention to un, and the ci<y and 
 province lived ten yeara in one. Mauinoba 
 College had bl r ^wn iteeif at its boeinuiug into 
 the riMing tide u' Canadian Mfc HowinK to ohe 
 wear, and wan aure to feel euch an im- | 
 pulse an that of 1881. The desire to I 
 innet more effectively the growing university I 
 demands, and tn prepare for the influx of new I 
 f^ettlerR led the College Board to plaufjr a new | 
 building more centrally aituated and more i 
 convenient. The old building and site which 
 had coat $1,000 were sold for i?ll,000, and the 
 nucleua of a building fund waa thus formed. 
 A Hubacription hat of 8ome$ll,000 waa obtain- 
 ed in Winnipeg, and thia turned out on 
 account of failurea in the bo(jm worth about 
 $(),000. The prem no valuable pite of four acre« 
 waa purchkfted from the Hudaon'a Bay Com- 
 pany for $6,000, and the contract tor the build- 
 ini^ waa leu for a little above ^3,000 In 
 August, 18^1, the foundation stone waa laid 
 by iiheMar()aia of Lome, Governor-General 
 of Canada, lu the presence of a large oanem- 
 blage, and the building (plate 4) waa ready lor

 Our purp »ie ill giving an aurouDtof the 
 earlier (Uya of the college ia nearly aocom 
 plihlied. It wituld, however, kte incoinolebe 
 without a reference to the other faivilty of tlm 
 coIl"ge— lh« depaioiinnt of theology- "the 
 queen of thoaci'-iioea' - "notitia divinarum re. 
 rum." Kver HiiKV the foundation of the col- 
 lege there ha^ been cuoh a Hympathy in it for 
 tho work >.f evangeli/ing tint weat inat •-fI<;rtH 
 have been iMifj forth to obtain and educite 
 'udentii for the gjKpel minintry. In the 
 t cIhm- that uf l.'Tl — there were twi> 
 identi in attendance, who had the ininiatry 
 lu view. In 187-1 the (ii-ner:*! Anaembly 
 decided, "whiUo in no way aanotion 
 ing the eHtablinliinent of a theological 
 aeiiunary at Manitoba, yet in view of all the 
 circuniHtanci ^ agree to instruct the Presbytery 
 of Manitoba to direot the ntudiea of thn young 
 men in the meantime." The superabundance 
 of theological collcgea 'n the east made the 
 Aaaeuibly very cuutiou. in advancing in thiH 
 direction in Wmnippg. Yet for ten yoaiH in 
 Its early history, claaues in theology were 
 regularly maintained. \i*iV. Dr. Black and 
 Kev. Dr. KubertBon, though overwhelmed 
 with paatoral work, gave valuable af-Hi^ttnce, 
 and (ihe two proff-Hnorn of that time had re 
 gular clanaea in Nnw Tesbament Greek, Heb- 
 rew, and Homdeticrt. But th^iuHix of people 
 in 1881 and '82 made advance in thia dire.itiuu 
 a nenescity. The Presbytery of Manitoba 
 wu^ ao impretstd with thia need that it ap 
 proftclnd the General Aasembly in 18811 with 
 a gu<krautee to raixe tbe extra aiiiouut rt'iuir* 
 ed for the support of a theological profes- 
 Hor, and the AHsiinbly responded 
 by appointing the Rev. Dr. King, ok 
 Toronto, nrincipal and profeaaor of thtiology. 
 Dr. King haw, since comipg to the college, 
 not only taken the bulk of thrology, but haa 
 been an arts profeaaor, especially aiding in 
 mental and moral science and Germn. In 
 our statement, of the tinanceaof the new build- 
 ing it will be remembered it waa shown that 
 there waa a heavy debt resting ou the new 
 college building at the tiiae of its cunauruc- 
 tion. The commercial deprebaion following 
 the "bo jm" affected the college expectations 
 an well as those of the ppoplo of Manitoba. 
 With remarkable energy and sucneaa Dr.King 
 grappled with the ^nancial situation, and 
 largely by personal fcolioitation obtained the 
 means for clearing off the debt. Through 
 legacies and otlierwiso the college is not only 
 free from debt, but has an endowment fund 
 jf about §25,000. During all the years a 
 number of able and devoted assistants have 
 been teachers in the college for longer or 
 shortor times, among them being the pastors 
 of our congregations in Winnipeg and the 
 vicinity. The latest ap])ointinent to 
 our staff ia that of Rev. A. B.
