University Extension U MONG those features which are distinctive and characteristic of the ,, University of Chicago as contrasted with many older institutions none - 2 has been more prominent from the beginning than the work of the University Extension Division. In one of its earliest circulars the CM university announced the establislnnent of this as one of the tive G Ls co-ordinate divisions of the university. As a general explanation of the work which it was entering upon, the following announcement was made: University Extension seeks to bring a liberal education within reach of those who for any reason cannot pursue studies in residence. It aims to meet the wants not only of those who have never pursued college and university courses, but also of those who having completed such courses desire to review them and to avail themselves of the results of recent research. By encouraging regular reading and study, it aims to widen the intelligence and enlarge the sympathies, thereby promoting the better employment, as well as enjoyment of leisure. The various departments of tl1e University Extension Division as originally organized were: I. Lecture-study, 2. Class-studyg 3. Correspondence-study3 4. Examination, 5. Library and publication, 6. District organization and training. The Class-study Department, the purpose of which was the conduct of systematic courses of instruction in college and university subjects in Chicago, and points more or less distant, met the Wants of hundreds of students who could not devote their full time to resident work. It gradually assumed tangible form, until in 1898 it was organized into the Teachers' College tnow University Collegej, with headquarters in the Fine Arts Building. Through the Lecture-study Department courses of systematic, educational, lecture- studies are given in communities where a suliicient degree of local co-operation can be secured. By the use of syllabi, supplementary classes, and traveling libraries, the work assumes an importance vastly greater to the student than any miscellaneous courses how- ever excellent the individual lectures may be. The scope of this work has gradually widened, until now there is scarcely a populous community within a radius of 300 nnles of Chicago that is not supplied sometime during the year with a course of at least six lecture-studies from the University of Chicago. The year just closing is the 1I105l suc- cessful 1n the history ofthe department. The number of courses given exceeds that of any previous year by more than 25 per cent. Individuals desiring to pursue their studies under the direction of the university instructors can do so through the Correspondence-study Department The work ot this department IS so carefully conducted that almost without exception both students and instructors ClE111I1 that this method of instruction secures more exact aud tangible results than does regular class-room work. During the present year over 1,250 students have been pursuing correspondence courses of study. Special University Extension Lecturers NATHANIEL I.
