Situated at Sackville, an incorporated

town of some two tllousand inhabitants on the main line of the Intercololiial Railway and the geographical centre of the Maritime Provinces; a point within easy access of all parts of the provinces and Newfoundland, in the midst of the Tantramar marshes, ii-district historically famous and made additionally so by the pen of several of 'o`ur'Canadian singers, is the University of Mount Allison College and its aiflliatedscliools, the Male Acad- emy, Commercial.C_ollege, Ladies' Col- lege, Owens' Art Institution and Con- servatory of Music..

Sixty years' ago, through the generosity

of Charles F. Allison, wllo donuted the land and a considerable sum of money for the purpose, the “Mount Allison Wesley- an Academy'_’ was established. A few years later it was followed by the Ladies' College, or as it was then called the “Female Academy."

In eighteen hundred and fifty eight an act was passed by the legislature of New _ Brunswick authorizing the opening of the “Mount Allison Wesleyan. College," n degree conferring institution. lfive years later the first class, which consisted of but two members, was graduatedr An amendment to the original charter in eighteen hundred and eighty-_six changed , the name of the College to that wllicli it' now holds, "The University of Mount Allison College.”

In the years that have passed since their

establishment, the Mount Allison institu- tions have steadily advanced. To-day they offer _to young men and women numerous and peculiar- advantages, nd-_ vantages unsurpassed in Canada.

Although situated ill New Brunswick,

Mount Allison is essentially not fl New Brunswick college merely, maliystiulellts enrolling from Nova Scotia, Prince Ed ward Island, Newfoundland and ljermuda. Neither is Mount Allison a denomination-t al college, but “in its iilternal adniinistril-

tion, the University has always been coli-I ducted on 'strictly non-sectariaii princi-

I of affiliation with McGill University where

by the students from the McClelan school who have completed their two years study at Sackvill are permitted to enter without examination the third year of McGill course in Engineering. The success of Mt. Allison students in the classes of McGill allow that Mt. Allison has done ‘ wisely in concentrating its efforts up_on the first two years of work alone, to give those with unexcelled thoroughness. A student who pursues these studies at Sacltvill_e, rather than Montreal does so at a cost less by several hundred dollars a year. -

The appointment of Dr. McClurg to the

chair of Physics gives increased strength to this departement. Dr. _McClurg has studied at McGill University, where he

Miss McElderry il graduate of the

Royal Collegeof Music, London, England has also recently been appointed to a position on the Conservatory Staff. She is also spoken of asa highly accomplished and well trained musician.

The school is also fortunate ill the‘

return of Miss Ada F. Ayer to the Violin department. Miss Ayer is well known at Mount Allison as the most successful teacher of Violin. During her absence fronl Mount Allison she has had valuable teaching experience and a year of study ili Germany. The President of Ogden College, Bowling Green, Ky. writes; “As a teacher of Violin no one superior to Miss Ayer. Able, experienced and enthusiastic her department has been for

Prince Edward Island has always been

_ivgenerous patron of Mount Allison Ladies College and it.iS probable that more of her daughters have been trained at Mount Allison than at all other instutions to- gether out side of the Island. Last year young ladies representing different parts _of the Island received instruction in the classes of the Ladies College.
