Greetings front the New University Especially for the benefit of eighty per cent of the delegates who had never been on the campus before. Dr. J. D. MacLachlah. Prest» dent of the new Guelph University rev1ewed‘its history. In 1874. the Ontario Agricultural (ol- lege was set up on a farm which is still apart of the campus. In 1903 Macdonald Institute was established in its present building on the same campus. And in 1922. the Ontario Vetâ€" erinary College which had opened in Toronto in 1862 was moved to Guelph to make the third college on the grounds. In 1962 the three institutions were named the Federated Coi- leees. At this time Macdonald Institute. which had been a part of the O.A.C.. was given the status of a college in its own right. And in 1964. by an Act of the Ontario parliament. provision was made to establish a faculty of Arts and Science named Wellington College; and to the federation of the four faculties, university status and the name Guelph Univer- sity. Dr. MacLachlan is president of the uniâ€" versity; Mr. N. R. Richards. Dean of the On~ tario Agricultural College. Dr. Margaret Mc- Cready. Dean of Macdonald Institute; and Dr. Trevor Jones. Dean of the Ontario Veterinary College. The Dean of Wellington College has not yet been appointed; it is planned to admit students in the fall of 1965. Dr. MacLachlan explained that the respon- sibility of the Ontario Agricultural College had included teaching, research and extension and that sixty per cent of its budget had been spent on research and service to the agricultural pub- lic. He believed that the objectives of the Col- lege and the Women‘s Institutes had a good deal in common and he assured the women that the new university would continue with the services already in practice. Dr, Margaret McCready thanked the Insti- tues for their interest in Macdonald Institute and for the Provincial Board’s resolution ap- pealing to the Departments of Agriculture and Education for facilities seriously needed, This resolution had dealt with three main situations: Many girls wanting to take the Degree Course it i’ * LOVE STORY By Mildred Goff Great-grandfather is very old, Nearly a hundred years, I'm told. once, when nobody else was there, I ttptoed up to the old man’s chair.
