 To His Honor the Lieut. Governor, the Honorable 
 THE Legislative Council, and the Honorable 
 the House of Assembly, in General Assembly 
 CONVENED, The Memorial of the Governors of 
 Dalhousie College ; — 
 
 Lv prescntin'r to the nc.tico of the Legislature certain facts 
 concerning: Dalhousie Colleue, the woik it is doinjr, and the 
 cinuns that it has u|)on tlte Leirislatiue for a much laro-er 
 annual ^^rant than it now receives, the Board of Governors 
 would respectfully ask that the principle on which aid is or 
 may he ex. ended to Collc.ijes in Nova Scotia should be defined 
 < learly and carried out fairly. 
 
 It seems to the Board of" Governors that if Collerres are to 
 he aided by grants of public money, these ^rmnts'^must be 
 given on one or other of three jirounds, which mav be styled 
 respectively, the Denoininati.mal, the Provincial, oV Payment 
 by results. The Governors would respectfully represent that, 
 no matter which of these "frounds be taken,^ Dalhousie Col- 
 lejre has been and is suffering; irieat injustice. 
 
 L In consequence of a series of facts and events, into the 
 history of which it is unnecessarv to enter, the Province has 
 practically adopted the Denominational jH-inciple in assisting 
 Colleges. The sum of $1400 is received annually by the 
 Church of England for King's College, Windsor, and 'equal 
 sums are received by the J5aptists and .Alethodists, respective- 
 ly, for their institutions in Wolfville and in Snckviile New 
 Brunswick ; while $2800 are received by the Roman Catho- 
 lics for their institutions in Antigonish and Halifax. Accord- 
 ing to this principle, how much should Dalhousie Colle^rc 
 receive? Different Denoniinations have by the voice of the'ir 
 Supreme Courts, adopted it as the institution to which they 
 send their youths fbr higher education, while other Denomi- 
 nations use it and it alone fbr the same jHirpose. It will not 
 be denied that these Denominations have riiihts similar to those 
 
 \i 
 
i V

 oftlic four others specified al)ovc. Indeed flieir elaim is timcli 
 stronjjcr, just because they have iceeived little or notiun<( iu 
 the past, whereas tlie others have reeeived in all immense 
 euma o'^" public money. Hut virtually the claim of the De- 
 nominations that support Dalhoiijiie Colle;,^' has already been 
 allowed by the Le;jislature. When the old Free Church of 
 Nova Scotia applied for an aiunial ;;raut of $1000, the sum 
 then «^iven for Collejiiiite purposes to each Denomination 
 that asked for it, the money was voted at onee. Another 
 Denomination haviu;^ about the same mnuber of adherents 
 as the Free Church — namely, the body in eoimection with 
 the ('hurch of Scotland — never applic(l for a <irant, be<'ausc it 
 considered the j)rinciple of subsidisini; from hall a dozen to 
 u dozen College < with [)altry <>;rants to be vicious in the 
 extreme. Not having received anythin;Li" from the Province, 
 its elaim is surely now stronijer than that of the ('hurch of 
 Knu'land which has received <j;rauts for a century. The elaim 
 of the Church of Scotland was indeed always admitted. 
 Leaders on both sides of the House declared that it had only 
 to ask in order to receive. A nmch lar<rer Denomination 
 than either the Free Church or the Church of Scotland, 
 — namely, the Presbyterian Church of Nova Scotia, — never 
 asked for a^n-ant, because it condenuied the principle of Pro- 
 vincial aid to Collejres in which Theoloirv was |)ai't of the 
 regula" course. It too had only to ask in order to receive. 
 It established a Seieinary at the ^Vest Kivcr, Pictou, and 
 afterwards a Jarf-er one in Truro, bui it neither asked nor 
 received one dollar from t!- Province for either. 
 
 The claims of these tlirc-. Denominations to $1400 a year 
 each for collegiate purjioses is then unassailable, while tlie 
 Legislature acts on the Denominational principle. These 
 Denominations now ask that what tliey are entitled to should 
 be given to Dalhousie College, and in so doing they ask only 
 for Denominational justice, .and for what has already been 
 acknowledged to be just. The Free Church was allowed to 
 take its $1000 grant with it when, giving uj) its own institution, 
 it allied itself with Dalhousie College. The Church of Scot- 
 land can now ap[)ly for the amount it ie entitled to, because 
 by a liapi)y union of resources a College has been established 
 that it declares worthy of its confidence and of its pecuniary 
 contributions to Collegiate Education. The old Presbyterian 
 Church of Nova Scotia can also apply for what it is entitled

 to, hooauso in DnHiouHo Collcoc no Tlieolorry is tnuffht. 
 The claim of these Denominations cannot be denied. They 
 have proved tiie t^in erity of their prineiplea hy their puWIc 
 action. To have a Colle^^o woithy of the nanie and on the 
 support o1" which all Denominations eoidd unite, they aban- 
 doned tiieir own institiitiops, they raised lar;.'-e sums of money 
 for the endowment of ciiairs in Dalhousie, and they arc 
 besides at tlie expense of maijitainin;; their own sej)arato 
 Th 'olo<rica| IImII or of raisin^r f„,„|.s to send their Tiieoh)Mical 
 Students elsewhere. 
 
 These Denoun'nations can ask for what they arc entitled to, 
 not ordy on Denominational ^n-oimds, but also on the <;round 
 of public policy. Tiie Le^rislatju-e would, of coursc'^prefer 
 that all D(Mii>i'iinations sh(»uld unite on one Colle;,^e that would 
 be W()rthy of the Province, and whose De<;ree!rvvoidd com- 
 mand respect abn-ad. Hut if so, eucoura,^ement shoidd be 
 .uiven t(. every step tliat is taken towards a consuuiination so 
 dcvoutiv to be wished. .\t present, however, the attitude of 
 the Lc<rislatme is that of positive dis(;om'a.:rome.it tn any s!ich 
 steps l)cin.«>- taken. Practically it says, no matter how' many 
 sujall collen-CH you choose to establish, w. shall ;^nvc $1400 
 n year to each ; but attempt to combine your res()urcea and 
 \ye shall yivc you nothing-. The imwisdo'm as well as injus- 
 tice of this every one will admit. 
 
 Hut betides thcs(> three LU'iioniiiiations, there arc various 
 others that virtually havcmh.pted Dalhousie, and their claims 
 umst 1)0 admitted by the Leuislaturc. The Keformed Pres- 
 byterians, the Lutherans, the Independents, the Universalists, 
 all send students to Dalhousie, and these are «;ood subjects 
 and taxpayers erjually with the others, and havcTa ri,<rht to ;i 
 fair share of what the Province can <>ive for C\')lleoiate 
 Education. '^ 
 
 It may be said that several of these Denomination are 
 Presbyterians and should herefore be classed as one. It 
 ^yould be just as reasonable to say that Episcopalians Bap- 
 tists and Methodists are Pn^tcstants, and should therefore be 
 classed as one. Or, it may be said that tw. of the Denomi- 
 nations have actually united into one ecclesiastical oriranization, 
 and that the united body is now proposinii; to unite with the 
 Church of Scotland. Hut we may assume that it is not the 
 intention of the Lenislatm-e to offer premiums on schism. 
 If the Episcopalians and the ^Methodists were to unite, does

 otiier Denondnations received y:rantM. I Jut the most pertinent 
 an.swer lor the Hoard to i-ive is that Dalhonsie ('olU^ijo U not 
 injmed l)nt assisted hy the eo-operatiou of those Denoniin;*- 
 tions. The (Jol!e-(« hn* not heen handed ovta- to th(!Mi. It 
 v'-tili remains what it always was, a tree |inl)!ie unsectar'an 
 institution, its lidard of (Jovernors appointed hv the (iovern- 
 nient of tiio Province ; and tin; Hoard heiieves that the Le;^Ms- 
 lature lias no intention of in.'lii'tin^' pains and penalties on the 
 Denominations that directly or in<lireetly .!o-operate with it 
 for the |)urpose of secin-inu: a lar;^er stall' of Professorn or u 
 larirei- nmnlu'r of students, '{'he Hoard made various inde- 
 pendent attenjpts in the |)ast to set tlu; ("ollcLce in operation, 
 but so iniidequate were the revenues of the Colle;j:e that little 
 success attended these attempts ; and in consequence the 
 ColIe„re had actually to be closed and reniain closed until the 
 co-operation refcrrt>d to was secured. Not havin;^ been 
 blamed for failure, the Hoard does not anticipate blame for 
 success, or punishment for thoj^e who have materially contri- 
 buted to the success. 
 
 It has also been said that the Province assisted in buildin;j^ 
 Dalliousie Colle^^e. P>ut what has that to do with the case, 
 either with the present j-ist claims of any Denomination, or 
 with the present riirlit of Dalhousie to |)ublic support, when 
 it is doinu" uood public work? The Province has likewise 
 fliven special grants to the building or establishing of more 
 than one Denominational College. Hut those grants are 
 never quoted as affecting the j)resent claims of K[)iscoi).dian8 
 or Jiaptists, even although those Denominations are now 
 vested with the absolute ownerslii}) of their Collegiate build- 
 ings, whereas no Denomination owns Dalhousie College. 
 Dalhousie is held by the Hoard in trust for the whole 
 Province. 
 
 
II. It iniiv l)c that the Loj^'islatJirc is now nroparocl to 
 adopt a CoIIi'|4:iate policy similar to that which Ontario and 
 \cvy Hrnnswick have recently adopted, and to crown the 
 edifice (>r iin.sectaiian Connnon ScIiooIm and Acmlciniesi with 
 an uihsectarian Colie<^e and University. Such a policy, the 
 Hoard uotdd liaii vvith Hatisf'action, herievinjr that no Denomi- 
 nation ift the I'rovinee is strong; enoni,d» to fully equip a Uni- 
 versity, an<i tiiat the proper ccpiipuicnt of a Theoloirieal Hall 
 would task tJH! r<'S(»urces ot the stron-^'cst ; and heiievinj^ also 
 tliat the Howi'r of our youth should nu'ct ami stmlv to;:ether all 
 suhjects purely literary, philosophic, and scientific. The loss, 
 to the Province hccause of the want of such a ^'reat conunon 
 centre is incaleulable. It is however for the Le«rislature to 
 <<ay vyhether this policy is practicahle or not. Ontario foiuid 
 that it was, and, discontiiMiiiiL,^ the <,rrants to the Dcnornirui- 
 t'ojial Colle;;(s, concentre(! all its resources on University 
 C'oll.'gc, Turonto, wiiich institution is iu coiisecjuencc a pride 
 um\ .\ boast to the whole Dominion. New IJnmswick has 
 O'uricd oi't th;>3anie policy, havini^ withdrawn the ^rnint even 
 fi'o'ii »ackv;lle, supported hy Nova Scotia, a..d <j;ivin«r nearly 
 $1)000 a year .o the L'niversity in Frcderieton in addition to 
 the endowi.-.ent it receives from lands. Tht revenues of Dal- 
 hous.v; ('olle--e were «,Mvcn to Nova Scotia as a free gift by 
 the British (lovernment, and yet all that has hitherto been 
 spared by the Province to keep it in operation is $1000 a year, 
 and even that $1000 was not given to the College di.cctly, 
 but was Ijrought to it by the Free C'lun-ch. 
 
 lielieving that concentration of Collegiate effort would be 
 a boon to the whole I'rovince, the Hoard last year invited the 
 governing bodies of the Denominational Colleges to a confer- 
 ence, where the (piesticm might be discussed. They declined, 
 and thus the overtures of the Hoard fell to the ground. The 
 question of the feasibility of establishing a i)roi)erly endowed 
 Provincial College is a question therefore that can now be 
 pro|ierly considered (tnly by the Legislatiu-e. 
 
 \\'iienever the LcLiislature considers itself in a position to 
 f(mnd a Provincial University iq)on a broad basis, and with a 
 distinctive name, a I'niversity into which the resources of D,il- 
 housie might be merged, the Hoard of Governors will readily 
 consent to such a policy, because convinced tliat it would sub- 
 serye the highest educational interests of Nova Scotia.

 Students he counted, so should the Diviuitv Students of those 
 Denominations that avail themselves of Dalhousie ; and in 
 that ease our numher would he at least KiO. The (xovernors 
 fill to see the justice of the LejrL^lature -ivin^r $1400 to a

 towarils all kindred institutions iii the Province. They have 
 no intention of dictatinir the principle on which the Le;j;islature 
 iihould proceed in assistini,' any or all of them. Hut they 
 believe that they have shown conclusively that whether that 
 principle be the Denouiiiiatlonal, the Provincial, or that of
