About the Institution
McGill University, in Montreal, is one of the oldest and most famous of Canadian universities, and is by far the most important of the privately endowed, as distinct from the state supported, universities in Canada. It owes its origin to James McGill, who died in 1813, and who left the property on which the university now stands, together with the nucleus of an endowment, for the foundation of a college to bear his name. A charter was granted in 1821; but it was not until eight years later that teaching began in the faculties of arts and medicine. The early years of McGill University were years of slow progress. There was litigation over the bequest which founded it; the Royal Institution for the Advancement of Learning, under which it was placed, warred with the governors of the university, who had control of teaching; and it was not until 1843 that the construction of the first building of the university, the Arts Building, was begun. Not indeed until 1855, when Sir William Dawson was appointed principal, did McGill University enter on that phase of growth which has made it one of the great universities of the British Empire. By 1857, as the result of a new charter and concurrent legislation, the members of the Royal Institute became the Board of Governors of the University; and the early period of conflict gave place to one of growth. Undergraduate activities at McGill are controlled by a central council of students, who have their own Union building and recreation rooms. There are debating leagues, dramatic societies, an undergraduate' newspaper (McGill Daily), and various other student activities. There is a Hall of Residence for men at Macdonald College , and a few years ago one was erected in Montreal. Women live at the Royal Victoria College in Montreal and in a Hall at Macdonald College. The remainder of the students in Montreal live in large boarding and fraternity houses in the neighbourhood of the campus. Every opportunity is given to the students to take part in sports, both in winter and in summer. McGill teams compete in all branches of athletics; and the university is well equipped with playing fields, notable among these being the Percival Molson Stadium.
