This college was formallv Opened in' September, 1874, by Their Excellencies the Earl and Conntess of Dufferin. These illustrions personages evinced a deep interest in edncation and in wbat- ever co ncerned the welfare of the Canadian people, and it is a matter for congratulation that their noble example lias been so highlv followed by their worthy successors. The main building, before its use for collegiate ptirposes, when known as Trafalgar Castle, was hon-ored by the presence of his Royal Eighness Prince Arthur accompanied by his Excelleney LodLisgar. Since the opening of the college ini 1874 it has been three times enlarged and împroved, until it is to-day the largest, and, we humbly think, the best equipped college for womnen in this country. It lias been the aim of the directors to establish a college of a higher literary grade than the ordinary ladies' coilege or sehool, capable of do- ing the most substantial work and at the same time carrying studQn ts througli at least two years of a , regular Unriver- sitv cours, an' id we are thiankfull to be, able to record that our eýfforts have been, BowmAN viLLE.
