Report of the Directors to the Memoers ijf The 
 American Society for the Extension of University 
 Teaching on Ten Years' Work in the Period 
 from 1890 to 1900 
 
 In 18/8, Sidney Lanier, writing on the subject of lectur- 
 ing" said: "During my studies for the last six or eight 
 months, a thought which was at first vague, has slowly crys- 
 tallized into a purpose of quite decisive aim. The lectures 
 which I was invited to deliver last winter before a private 
 class, met with such an enthusiastic reception as to set me 
 thinking very seriously of the evident delight with which 
 grown people found themselves receiving systematic instruc- 
 tion in a definite study. The fault of the lecture system as 
 at present conducted a fault which must finally prove fatal 
 to it is that it is too fragmentary, and presents too frag- 
 mentary a mass of facts before the hearers. Now if a 
 scheme of lectures should be arranged which would amount 
 to the systematic presentation of a given subject, then the 
 audience would receive substantial benefit, and would carry 
 away some genuine possession at the end of the course. 
 This stage of the investigation put me to thinking of 
 schools for grown people. Men and women leave college 
 nowadays just at the time when they are really prepared to 
 study with effect." 
 
 The thought of Sidney Lanier had already found 
 expression in England through the plans and activities of 
 the Cambridge and London Societies for the Extension of 
 University Teaching. They were founded respectively in 
 1873 an d 1876. Similar work was begun by the L T niversity 
 of Oxford in 1878, and made effective in 1885 through the 
 impulse given by the hand of Mr. Michael E. Sadler. 
 
 In 1890 Professor Richard G. Moulton came to Philadel- 
 phia, informed as to all that had been done in England and 
 inspired by a consciousness of the potential force contained 
 in the new educational idea. The response to the appeal 
 contained in his lectures was prompt and generous. The 
 American Society was founded, with Dr. William Pepper 
 as its first President. Many of those who to-day are firm sup- 
 porters of the Society were among its first members ; there 
 are many who, from the beginning until now, have never 
 failed in loyalty or in direct assistance when their aid was 
 needed. Mr. Frederick B. Miles has served uninterruptedly

T .: {m'thib ojiftre pCTreasurer. The aim of University Extension 
 as then*. officially stated by the English Societies was this: 
 "To attempt to solve the problem of how much of what the 
 Universities do for their own students can be done for 
 people unable to go to the Universities." 
 
 This idea is a noble one, and it awakened the enthu- 
 siasm that looks for great and immediate results as well as 
 that which nerves to prolonged and steady effort. There 
 came a time when zeal of the first sort flagged a little, but 
 there was enough of the staying kind to sustain, until results 
 that were necessarily slow of growth began at last to be 
 * apparent. 
 
 To instruct people who are not obliged to go to school, 
 it is necessary to awaken a desire to learn. To do this was 
 a large part of the Society's work in its early years. It had 
 to send out its missionaries and interest before it taught. 
 The mission work was well done : the idea of University 
 Extension found lodgment in all parts of the country. In 
 some places it has had a permanent and important influ- 
 ence ; in others it has shown no real vitality. Nothing comes 
 out of University Extension unless a great deal is put into 
 it; the desire to give, of the best, should be always some- 
 what more intense than the wish to receive. 
 
 As aids, in bringing its purposes before people, the 
 Society published a magazine called "University Exten- 
 sion," and a paper, "The Bulletin." They were widely dis- 
 tributed and at first they were doubtless read ; but the time 
 came when themes connected with University Extension had 
 lost their freshness, or the initial interest in a new subject had 
 waned. At all events these journals were no longer read. Then 
 an attempt was made to have a paper of more general 
 interest one that would supplement the Society's teaching 
 by lecturers. "The Citizen" was launched in 1895. It 
 seemed to have the respect of persons whose good opinion 
 was valuable, when they were brought to read it, but its 
 prestige was not sufficient for its purpose ; we lacked the 
 resources to conduct the paper as a commercial enterprise, 
 and it made no headway in competition with magazines 
 that must be made to pay, and therefore made attractive 
 to the casual reader. Since August, 1898, the Society has 
 had no periodical publication. 
 
 There have been published, however, from the begin- 
 
ning, the syllabi of the lecture courses. The syllabi are 
 constantly improving in respect to fullness, and care in 
 preparation. They now form a large collection of outlines 
 for study and reading and cover a wide field. 
 
 In a review of the Society's work, mention should be 
 made of the Summer Meetings. Five have been held in 
 the years 1893-1897. Their purpose was to afford special 
 opportunities for close and continuous study on the part of 
 University Extension students, and teachers; to bring 
 together the people of the various Centres and to stimulate 
 the desire for the best that University Extension had to 
 offer. 
 
 In England, for many years, such meetings have been 
 held with success at Oxford and Cambridge, under the 
 auspices of those great Universities, and with the use of 
 their grounds and buildings. The Summer School of Har- 
 vard University is an instance in this country of somewhat 
 similar work well done. The University of Pennsylvania 
 liberally put at the disposition of the Society accommo- 
 dations for its meetings, and for five years these gatherings 
 took place in July. 
 
 Here again the serious purposes of the Society inter- 
 fered possibly with an apparent success. There was little 
 or no provision for those who wanted entertainment rather 
 than teaching; and we know that the thirst for learning 
 must be strong to induce people to study hard in Philadel- 
 phia for four weeks in July. 
 
 There was an average of 175 students at these meet- 
 ings. The average yearly cost was $3,273.79; sixty-one 
 per cent, being paid by the students. The yearly deficit 
 to be met by the Society was between $1,200 and $1,300. 
 
 The amount of labor and the expense entailed by the 
 Summer Meetings were quite out of proportion to the 
 physical powers of the Society's staff and to the money at 
 command. It was found that the meetings were not so 
 much for our own students as for strangers from a dis- 
 tance who did not know Philadelphia in July. There have 
 been no Summer Meetings since 1897. They were under- 
 taken in sincerity and worked at with devotion until it 
 seemed evident that the effort and money expended could be 
 better applied to the distinctive work of the Society, leav- 
 ing summer schools for cooler places. Nevertheless the 
 
Summer Meetings brought to Philadelphia, as students and 
 teachers, many influential persons who went away with a 
 respect for University Extension that they had perhaps 
 refused to it, as seen from farther off. 
 
 It will be remembered that the University Lecture 
 Association, beginning in 1887, gave for a few years a large 
 number of afternoon lectures. When the Association was 
 dissolved, in 1895, your Society undertook to have each 
 season two afternoon courses, carrying out the plan of the 
 Association, although modified by making the number of 
 courses fewer and of a character to command attention. 
 This plan has worked well. These are the only lectures 
 given directly by the General Society instead of through 
 the action of its local Centres. The lectures of one of .these 
 courses, given in Philadelphia in the winter of 1898-99, have 
 been published by Houghton, Mifflin and Co., in a volume 
 entitled "Counsel Upon the Reading of Books." 
 
 No aspect of the life of your Society is more significant 
 and gratifying than the relation to it of its Centres and the 
 co-operation of those who manage the local bodies. Unpaid, 
 often at the expense of their own pockets, upwards of five 
 thousand people have joined in our efforts, working hard 
 with their neighbors, to arrange for lecture courses ; to 
 find meeting places ; to sell tickets ; to pay deficits ; and per- 
 severing, until the demand created gathered strength enough 
 to make good Centres. 
 
 Sometimes the General Society has been able to help 
 Centres over hard places by a special lecture or by aid in 
 money. On the other hand Centres that have prospered, 
 and sometimes those that have known trouble, have contrib- 
 uted liberally to the General Society. 
 
 In New Jersey the Centres have an association. Their 
 representatives meet yearly for consultation and discussion. 
 Occasionally there are meetings of a more general character 
 including delegates from all the Centres within reach of 
 Philadelphia. 
 
 As the Society has grown older we have come to know 
 better its field and its purposes. Nothing haunts the laborer 
 in our vineyard more persistently than the question : "Does 
 University Extension reach the people it was intended for?" 
 \Ye should like to believe that our answer will be final, but 
 we know better. 
 
I'niversity Extension is meant for those for whom 
 religion is intended : for those for whom life, liberty, and the 
 pursuit of happiness is intended. It is meant to help the 
 ignorant who desire knowledge that they may learn 
 wisely ; to reveal to the half educated the insufficiency of 
 their knowledge ; to rouse intellectual sluggards ; to stimu- 
 late those who are in the right way; to bring questioning 
 to the hearts of the self-satisfied. There is no class for 
 which University Extension is not intended nor to which 
 it has not ministered. There have been courses, not a few 
 but many, to audiences made up entirely of the very poor ; 
 of the poor ; of the poor and of those who are not rich ; of 
 these and of the well-to-do ; of the ignorant but eager; of the 
 cultivated but not learned ; of teachers ; we might almost 
 suv having in mind the Summer Meetings of scholars: 
 finally, of people of all conditions who have some leisure 
 for study or reading and look to your lecturers for sugges- 
 tions and leading. 
 
 If University Extension is intended for so many, 
 the number of those who have profited by it should be 
 great. We find this to be so. The average number of peo- 
 ple each year who have attended our courses is a little more than 
 18,000. The total course attendance for ten years amounts 
 to 180,755, which is equivalent to an aggregate attendance 
 of 1,084,530. The attendance has been larger in the last 
 two years than at any previous time. In these years there 
 has been an average attendance of 243 people for each 
 lecture. There were given in the two years 1,056 lectures. 
 Last year the average attendance at the classes after the 
 lectures was 149, or sixty-two per cent, of the audiences. 
 These results were accomplished at an expense to the 
 ( leneral Society in 1900 of a little more than $6,000. 
 
 If it is assumed that the teaching was better than the 
 average of University teaching and this may be maintained 
 it can be said that your Society is a People's University, 
 teaching where it is convenient for the people to get 
 together, in hours not given to labor. The teaching is often 
 intermittent and sometimes discursive. It is addressed to 
 the many and it can not always meet special needs, but it 
 is earnest, systematic, and painstaking. It must interest 
 or it can not be given. What the sum of the influence is it 
 is hard to say, but considering the maturity and the num- 
 
bers of those who listen, who read as a consequence, and to 
 reading add thinking, the influence is likely rather to be 
 underestimated than appraised too highly. 
 
 In looking back over ten years w r e find two results of 
 experience that are worth mention. First, it is found that 
 the best results are attained in Centres that have a sustained 
 activity; that attempt to have some relation between the 
 courses given, and incline rather to intensive than to dis- 
 cursive study. The results are educationally better, and it 
 is easier to pay expenses in these Centres than in those 
 demanding too much variety. Secondly, it is all important 
 that lecturers should be up to the work in knowledge of 
 their subjects; in enthusiasm for teaching; in the care taken 
 in preparation; in the gift of presentation, and in personal 
 character. 
 
 Few things are more difficult to do effectively than 
 University Extension teaching; it is hard enough to do it 
 well when it is made a vocation : the men are few who can 
 succeed, taking it up as an avocation. One of the greatest 
 difficulties your directors have met is in finding competent 
 men. The number of those who are willing to try is 
 unlimited ; those who can reasonably be expected to do well, 
 and are willing to put their hearts and souls into the work, 
 are few, and hard to find. How far we have succeeded in 
 this direction we must leave to your judgment, referring 
 you to the list of lecturers. We think, however, that as 
 the difficulties of our task have become more apparent there 
 has been a corresponding effort to overcome them ; that 
 with higher ideals concerning the way the work should be 
 done it has been better done ; that it has gained rather than 
 lost ground in the estimation of the community and of 
 educators. 
 
 The total cost of the Society's work for ten years has 
 been $275,000; of this $183,000 has been earned and $92,000 
 has been given. There have been over five thousand lec- 
 tures. The Centres have found, in addition to the $183,000 
 received from them by the General Society, about $55,000 
 for local expenses. The total expense, therefore, has been 
 $330,000. Of this amount $238,000 has been paid by the 
 people of the Centres ; $22,000 by members of the General 
 Society contributing $5.00 each, and $70,000 by guarantors 
 and those making special contributions. The total number of 
 
contributors has been 1,722 and the average of subscriptions, 
 above $5.00, has been $150 a year. 
 
 Has not the time come for the endowment of the 
 Society, that its future may be assured, that it may have the 
 means of assuring men competent for University Extension 
 lecturing that they will find in it a career that is neither 
 precarious nor unrewarded? 
 
 As for the fruits of the first ten years of your Society's 
 work, besides the direct results already mentioned, we know 
 of the establishment of libraries ; the renewed use of libraries 
 that had been almost forgotten ; a demand for travelling 
 libraries ; the more intelligent reading of books ; the use 
 of books of the better sort; the introduction of new 
 and vital interests, especially in small communities ; 
 improvement in the character of school teaching; higher 
 standards for public lectures ; the creation of new ideals in 
 literature and art, and everywhere, the stimulation of indi- 
 viduals to better conceptions of the pleasure of life. 
 
 A well-known citizen of Philadelphia, one familiar with 
 University Extension but not connected with its administra- 
 tion, recently expressed publicly the following opinion : "The 
 American Society for the Extension of University Teaching, 
 which has now been at work for ten years, has not only suc- 
 ceeded in doing more than any one agency in revolution- 
 izing the reading habits of Philadelphia, but it has created 
 a solid, organized group of audiences, habituated to study, 
 anxious to learn, interested in the intellectual development 
 not only of themselves but of the city, which constitutes a 
 constituency and clientele such as does not exist in any 
 other American city, and which is to-day one of the most 
 useful agencies for promoting the solidarity of the intel- 
 lectual life of Philadelphia." 
 
 If this statement is true and, if it can be said of the 
 work in Philadelphia, it is also true, to a considerable extent 
 of the same influence in other places then your Society has 
 justified its being and has become a social force of the 
 first importance. 
 
 The tables, charts and lists, prepared by the Secretary 
 of the Society, and printed with this report, deserve the 
 careful attention of the members of the Society and of 
 others interested in its methods of education.

 Cost 
 
 Statement by years showing the total expenditures for 
 University Extension passing through the hands of the 
 Society, all subscriptions and earnings, and the percentage 
 of expenditures earned. The total expenditures would be 
 increased about twenty per cent, if the payments of Centres 
 not passing through the hands of the Society were added. 
 This would increase the percentage of earnings considerably. 
 For example the total expenditures for 1900 would be about 
 $26,000, the amount earned $20,800, the amount subscribed 
 $6,260 and the percentage of expenses earned eighty.
