MANITOBA COLLEGE. This institution was founded in 1871 by the Presbyterian Church of Canada, and was affiliated to the University of Manitoba by the original Act of University incorporation. It is still conducted under the direction of the Presbyterian General Assembly of Canada, which makes provision for instruction in arts as well as in theology. The arts staff is composed of eight teachers, who give instruction in science, English, Greek, Latin, French, German, Hebrew, mathematics, mental and moral philosophy, logic, and political economy. Manitoba College has given one hundred and sixty graduates to the University. WESLEY COLLEGE. In 1888 this College, established and conducted under the control of the Methodist General Conference, of Canada was affiliated to the University by order of the Lieutenant-Governor in Council. In its curriculum provision is made for teaching mental and moral philosophy, pure and applied mathematics, geology, physics, Greek, Latin, English, and history. It has added forty to the list of University graduates. MANITOBA MEDICAL COLLEGE. This training school of medicine was established in 1883, and was affiliated in the following year to the Provincial University, from which its students obtain their degrees. Formerly the right to examine candidates for license to practise medicine was vested in the Provincial College of Physicians and Surgeons, but under the authority of the Medical Act of 1886 all the examining powers which previously belonged to that body were transferred to the University of Manitoba, to the Council of which the College of Physicians and Surgeons is authorized to elect four representatives. The Medical College has three representatives in the same body. During its twelve years of operation the "Manitoba Medical College" has given over one hundred graduates to the University. COLLEGIATE CO-OPERATION. As adequate tuition in the subjects assigned to it has not yet been provided by the University of Manitoba, efforts have been made from time to time to secure among the affiliated colleges such working arrangements as will lessen to each the cost of efficient instruction. St. John's, Manitoba, and Wesley Colleges have for four years co-operated in scientific instruction, and the result has been highly advantageous, the increased efficiency of the work having entailed comparatively little extra cost on each of the institutions benefited. A further measure of co-operation has been carried into practice by Manitoba and Wesley Colleges, the former instructing the students of both in honor mental and moral science and classics, and the latter instructing them in higher honor mathematics.
