Eleven Alberta Students Given Hood
of Medical Doctor At University
LARGE NUMBER OF DEGREES CONFERRED
Honorary Degree of L.L.D. Is Given Sir Frederick Haultain of Sask.
(Special Dispatch to The Herald)
EDMONTON, May 16.-- One hundred and seventy-six students received either
degrees or diplomas at the fifteenth annual convocation of the University of
Alberta, held in convocation hall Friday afternoon. Also the honorary degree of
LL.D. was conferred upon Sir Frederick Haultain, chief justice of the province
of Saskatchewan. Dr. W. A. R. Kerr, dean of the faculty of arts, was also
honored when he received from M. Jevrian, acting in behalf of the French
government the decoration-- L'Officier d'Instruction Publique. Perhaps the
outstanding event of the programme, however, was the conferring of the degree
of M.D. which was given by the University of Alberta for the first time this
year. Eleven Alberta students received the hood of the medical doctor.
Many Are Canadians
Convocation hall was crowded to the doors when at 3 p.m. the ceremony opened
with the academic procession of the graduates. After the invocation, President
Tory delivered his annual report. The registration this year, he pointed out,
was 1,352, of these students 869 were born in Canada, 272 being natives of
Alberta. More than half the registration was in the faculty of arts, the
faculty of medicine coming next in size. Chancellor Stuart in his address to
the graduating students congratulated them. He also expressed the hope that
they realized the educational advantages, the province had given them and that
they felt a high sense of public duty, ready to return what they had been given
by the province.
Rapid Development
The convocation address was delivered by Sir Frederick William Gordon Haultain,
chief justice of the province of Saskatchewan, and one of the west's early
pioneers. The speaker in opening outlined the rapid development of education in
the west during the last forty years. In 1888, he said, there were but ninety
schools in the northwest territory, today the west has ten thousand schools
with approximately four hundred and eighty thousand pupils.
The universities of the west have been founded on the principles of
centralization, monopoly of degree conferring powers and non-sectarianism.
These principles had made for rapid development and any deviation from them
would in the speaker's opinion tend to weaken the whole university system.
In closing the speaker advised the graduates to keep in mind the debt they owed
to their province, to get interested in some one political problem, and to
endeavor to leave behind them the educational inheritance which had been left
them by their pioneer forefathers in the west.
