And Its Affiliated Schools-A Description of. the Growth of this Popular School from its Modest Beginning - Its Splendid Situation
\ ' and Unsurpassed Advantage of Bestowing a Thorough Education---The Different Courses Taught, and Recent- '
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-

`, This equipment enabled the authorities
1! '_ t of Mt. Allison to make an arrangement
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
years after his graduation, Ile then spent
three years ill Cambridge University,
England, and for the last three years has
been a Lecturer in McGill, where his
work is spoken of in the highest terms. i
MOUNT ALLISON LADIES' COLLEGE
Thisvenerable institution is now elite-‘
ing upon the 54th year of its useful exis-
tence. In that time between thee and
four thousand students have passed
through its halls. ,
QONSEVATORY OF MUSIC
The Conservatory of Music has always
been the most popular department of

and a brilliant pianist and organist, from `
Leeds, lilnglaiid llasvbeen appointed to the
llirectorship.
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
School."
The position in the oratory department
consider the Mount Allison Ladies College
when taken in its relation to the
Consevatorypf Music, the Owens |Mufeum
of Fine Arts, tbe Massey-Treble School
of Household Science the best equipped
School in Canada devoted to female
education.
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.
