History
Royal Institution for the Advancement of Learning
The Royal Institution for the Advancement of Learning (R. I. A. L. ), McGill's corporate identity, was created in 1801 by an Act of the Legislative Assembly of Lower Canada, entitled "Establishment of Free Schools and the advancement of Learning in this Province. In Marketing, a corporate identity is the "persona" of a Corporation which is designed to accord with and facilitate the attainment of business objectives The Legislative Assembly of Lower Canada was the lower house of the bicameral structure of provincial government in Lower Canada until 1838. "[24] The institution's initial purpose was to administer the provision of elementary education in Lower Canada(now largely comprising modern-day Quebec). Primary education is the first stage of Compulsory education. The Province of Lower Canada (French Province du Bas-Canada) was a British colony on the lower Saint Lawrence River and the shores of the Quebec (kwɨˈbɛk However, the R. I. A. L. spent most of its early years trying to get funds from the government to enable it to establish and operate these schools, which were primarily for the Protestant English-speaking inhabitants of Lower Canada. Protestantism refers to the forms of Christian faith and practice that originated in the 16th century Protestant Reformation. The R. I. A. L. was the first institution in Canada to receive royal patronage. This is a list of Canadian organizations with royal patronage. [25]
Between 1811 and 1813,[26] James McGill, a Scottish immigrant and successful English and French-speaking merchant, drew up a will leaving a 19 hectare (46 acre) tract of land—his estate, which he called Burnside[27][28]—in what was then rural land. James McGill ( October 6, 1744 &ndash December 19, 1813) was a Scottish-Canadian businessman and philanthropist Scotland ( Gaelic: Alba) is a Country in northwest Europethat occupies the northern third of the island of Great Britain.

The Pound Sterling ( symbol £; ISO code: GBP) subdivided into 100 pence (singular penny) is the Currency I. A. L. [29]
His will specified that, if a college was not established within 10 years of his death, the estate and the money would revert to the heirs of his wife, Charlotte Desrivieres. As an added condition, the new institution would be required to bear his name. [30]
As a condition of the bequest, the land and funds would have to be used for the establishment of a "University or College, for the purposes of Education and the Advancement of Learning in the said Province. "[24] When he died in December 1813, this task became the responsibility of the R. I. A. L.

An inauguration is a ceremony of formal Investiture whereby an individual assumes an office or position of authority or power That same year, the Montreal Medical Institution became the college's Faculty of Medicine and its first academic unit. The Faculty of Medicine is one of the constituent faculties of McGill University.
Since 1832, McGill's Faculty of Medicine been recognized as the first medical faculty in Canada,[32][33] granting its first degree, a Doctor of Medicine and Surgery, in 1833. [29] The Faculty of Medicine remained the school's only functioning faculty until 1843 when the Faculty of Arts commenced teaching in the newly constructed Arts Building and East Wing (Dawson Hall). [34]
Legacy
The formation of the R. I. A. L. at the turn of the 18th century coincided with France's departure from Canada. The 18th century lasted from 1701 to 1800 in the Gregorian calendar, in accordance with the Anno Domini / Common Era numbering system The Viceroyalty of New France (Nouvelle-France was the area colonized by France in North America during a period extending from the exploration of the It was during this time of Protestant and Anglican influx that non-denominational schooling proved most necessary for Canada's later growth as a nation. Protestantism refers to the forms of Christian faith and practice that originated in the 16th century Protestant Reformation. Anglicanism is a tradition of Christian faith Churches in this tradition either have historical connections to the Church of England or have similar beliefs In Christianity, the term non-denominational refers to those churches that have not formally aligned themselves with an established denomination, or remain otherwise Canadian nationalism is a term which has been Though French-Catholic settlers made up the majority of Canada's population, the formation of two new Royal Grammar Schools in 1816 by the R. I. A. L. [35] acted as turning points for Canada in two particular ways. First, the schools ". . . were created by legislation, the District Public Schools Act of 1807, and they showed the government's willingness to support the costs of education and even the salary of a schoolmaster. Second, the law involved the state in education, an important first step in the creation of nondenominational schools. "[35] As mentioned, these schools were lost in the mid-1800's, closing in 1846[35] and taking with them the foundation for privatized education in Canada,[36] as, at the time, "Canadians thought the schools too elite and too close to the class-conscious schools of England such as Eton. For the film of this title see Private School (film. Private schools, or Independent schools are Schools not administered Eton College, or just Eton, is a world-famous British Independent school for boys founded in 1440 by King Henry VI. "[35] This has influenced education in Canada to this day. Education in Canada is provided funded and overseen by federal, provincial, and Local governments Education is within provincial jurisdiction and the curriculum
In the mid-1800's, the R. I. A. L. also lost control of the other 82 grammar schools it had administered (a total of 84). A grammar school is one of several different types of School in the history of education in the United Kingdom and other English-speaking countries [37] At that point, its sole purpose was to administer the McGill bequests on behalf of the college. Despite the loss, McGill College continued to grow, now having the sole aim of providing post-secondary education. Higher education is Education that is provided by universities, vocational universities, Community colleges Liberal arts colleges The R. I. A. L. continues to exist and is the "legal person" that runs the university and its various constituent bodies, including the former Macdonald College (now Macdonald Campus), Royal Victoria College (the former women's college turned residence) and the Montreal Neurological Institute. Founded in 1934 by Dr Wilder Penfield with a $12 million grant from the Rockefeller Foundation of New York and the support of the government of Quebec the city Since the revised Royal Charter of 1852, The Trustees of the R. I. A. L. comprise the Board of Governors of McGill University. [38]
Early years
The university's first classes were held in 1829 at Burnside Place, James McGill's country home,[29][39] until the 1840s; when the school began construction on its first buildings, which were the central and east wings of the Arts Building. [40] However, the rest of the campus was essentially a pasture for cows, not dissimilar to the few other Canadian universities and early American colleges of the age. Pasture is land with Herbaceous vegetation cover used for grazing of Ungulate Livestock as part of a Farm or Ranch. [41] Sir John William Dawson, McGill's fifth principal from 1855 to 1893, is often credited with transforming the school into a modern university. Sir John William Dawson, CMG, FRS, FRSC ( October 13 1820 &ndash November 19 1899) was a Canadian [42] He recruited the aid of Montreal's wealthiest citizens, many of whom donated the property and funding needed to construct the campus buildings. Their names adorn many of the campus's prominent buildings including the Redpath Museum (1880), Macdonald Physics Building (1893), the Redpath Library (1893), the Macdonald Chemistry Building (1896), the Macdonald Engineering Building (1907), and the Strathcona Medical Building (1907 - now the Strathcona Anatomy and Dentistry Building). The Redpath Museum is a Museum of Natural history belonging to McGill University and located at 859 Sherbrooke Street West in Montreal This expansion of the campus continued to 1920. In 1885, the university's Board of Governors formally adopted the use of the name McGill University.
Women's education at McGill began in 1884 when Donald Smith, also known as Lord Strathcona, began funding separate lectures for women, given by university staff members. Baron Strathcona and Mount Royal, of Mount Royal in the Province of Quebec and Dominion of Canada and of Glencoe in the County of Argyll is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom The first degrees granted to women at McGill were conferred in 1888. [44] Later, in 1899, the Royal Victoria College (RVC) opened as a residential college for women at McGill. Until the 1970s, all female undergraduate students, known as "Donaldas," were considered to be members of RVC. [45] Today, the College is an all-women's dormitory forming part of the university's residence system.
In 1905, the university acquired a second campus when Sir William C. Macdonald, one of the university's major benefactors, endowed a college in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, 32 kilometres west of Montreal. Sir William Christopher Macdonald ( February 10, 1831 &ndash June 9, 1917) was a Scots-Quebecer Tobacco manufacturer and Macdonald College, now known as the Macdonald Campus, opened to students in 1907, originally offering programs in agriculture, household science, and teaching. The Macdonald Campus of McGill University ( Mac Campus) houses its Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences School of Dietetics and Human Nutrition

The private institution granted McGill degrees until it became the independent University of British Columbia in 1915. The University of British Columbia ( UBC) is a Canadian public research University with campuses near Vancouver and in Kelowna [46]
McGill français movement
The 1960s represented an era of large nationalist and labour mobilizations in Quebec. At the time, English was seen as the privileged language of commerce, and McGill, with francophones comprising only three percent of the student population, was seen by some as a bastion of anglophone privilege in a predominantly French-speaking city. English is a West Germanic language originating in England and is the First language for most people in the United Kingdom, the United States The adjective francophone (alternately Francophone) means French -speaking typically as primary language whether referring to individuals groups or places An Anglophone (or anglophone) is someone who speaks the English language. [47][48] In addition, there was only one French-language university in Montreal at the time: the Université de Montréal. McGill was largely out of reach to the 10,000 francophone graduates of the newly-created CEGEP system who had nowhere else to go, locally, to continue their studies, and almost no other French-speaking university to go to in Canada. A CEGEP (ˈseɪʒɛp or /ˈsiːʤɛp/ French: Cégep) is a post-secondary education institution exclusive to the province of Quebec in

▪ Francophone minorities
The McGill français movement began in 1969, clamouring for a new McGill that would be francophone, pro-nationalist, and pro-worker. [49] The movement was led by Stanley Gray, a political science professor from Ontario. Political science is a branch of Social sciences that deals with the theory and practice of Politics and the description and analysis of Political systems The meaning of the word professor ( Latin: professor, person who professes to be an expert in some art or science teacher of highest rank) varies Ontario (ɒnˈtɛrioʊ is a province located in the central part of Canada, the largest by population and second largest after Quebec It was argued that, since McGill received the lion's share of government funding, paid by a taxpayer base that was largely francophone, the university should equally be accessible to that segment of the population. [50][51] Gray led a demonstration of 10,000 trade unionists, leftist activists, CEGEP students, and even some McGill students, at the university's Roddick Gates on March 28, 1969, with protesters shouting McGill français, McGill aux Québécois, and McGill aux travailleurs (McGill for workers). Events 37 - Roman Emperor Caligula accepts the titles of the Principate, entitled to him by the Senate. Year 1969 ( MCMLXIX) was a Common year starting on Wednesday (link will display full calendar of the Gregorian calendar. However, the majority of students and faculty opposed such a position, and many of the protesters were arrested. [52][53] The McGill français movement is the second-largest protest in the history of Montreal. [54]
McGill never became a francophone or officially bilingual university. However, francophones now make up approximately 18 percent of the student body, a goal set by the administration in the wake of the movement. [55]
Today, McGill is one of only three English-language universities in Quebec (the others being Concordia University, also in Montreal, and Bishop's University in Lennoxville); as such, fluency in French is not a requirement to attend. English is a West Germanic language originating in England and is the First language for most people in the United Kingdom, the United States Concordia University is a comprehensive Public university located in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

French ( français,) is a Romance language spoken around the world by 118 million people as a native language and by about 180 to 260 million people The Faculty of Law does, however, require all students to be "passively bilingual," meaning that all students must be able to read and understand spoken French - or English if the student is Francophone - since English or French may be used at any time in a course. Since 1964, students in all faculties have been able to write exams and papers in either English or French, provided that the objective of the class is not to learn a particular language. [56]

International students are Students usually in early adulthood who study in foreign Educational institutions While most universities have official Its students represent a diverse geographic and linguistic background. Of the entire student population, 57. 3% are from Quebec, while 23. 7% come from the rest of Canada, and 19. 0% are international, hailing from about 160 different countries. [62] As their mother tongue, 52. 8% of all McGill students speak English, while 18. 1% speak French, and 29. 1% speak a language other than English or French. [63]
The plurality of McGill's international students are from the United States, making up 37% of all international students and 49% of all undergraduate international students. The United States of America —commonly referred to as the [64] A growing number of American students are attending McGill, with such students representing 9. 7% of all undergraduates and 6. 9% of all students at the university. [64] Many are attracted to the culture and dynamism of Montreal, the university's reputation, and the relatively low tuition in comparison to many top public and private universities in the United States. [65] However, this trend is being repeated at many other Canadian universities, particularly those close to the Canada - U.S. border. The Canada – United States border is the international Border between Canada and the United States. In turn, many Canadian universities, including McGill, are stepping up their recruitment efforts at U. S. high schools. [66]
McGill offers over 250 doctoral and master’s graduate degree programs. McGill Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies Office[67](GPSO) oversees the admission and registration of graduate students (both master's and PhD), and administers graduate fellowships, postdoctoral affairs, the graduation process (including the examination of theses) and, along with other units, conducts regular program reviews in all disciplines.

McGill has been directly partnered with five separate teaching hospitals for decades, and also has a history of collaborating with many hospitals in Montreal. A teaching hospital is a Hospital that in addition to delivering medical care to patients also provides Clinical education and training to future and current doctors In addition to McGill's own Health Centre, these cooperations have allowed the university to graduate over 1,000 students in health care each year. Health care is the prevention treatment and management of illness and the preservation of mental health through the services offered by the medical, Nursing [102] McGill's contract-affiliated teaching hospitals include: Montreal Children's Hospital, Montreal General Hospital, Montreal Neurological Hospital, Montreal Chest Institute and Royal Victoria Hospital.

Accommodations
Most McGill students do not live in residence (known colloquially as "rez") after their first year of study, even if they are not from the Montreal area. Dormitory typically refers in the United States to residence halls which are sleeping quarters or entire buildings primarily providing sleeping and residential quarters for A colloquialism is an expression not used in formal speech, writing or Paralinguistics. This is due to the fact that McGill's residence system is relatively small for a school of its size, housing approximately 2,400 undergraduate students and a handful of graduate students. [107] With the exception of certain students returning as "floor fellows," the majority of McGill residences are for first-year undergraduate students only. Senior students are expected to find off-campus housing.
Residences at McGill come in a variety of forms. Many first-years live in the Bishop Mountain Residences (known to most students as "Upper Rez"),[108] a series of concrete dormitories on the slope of Mount Royal, consisting of McConnell Hall, Molson Hall, Gardner Hall, and Douglas Hall. John Wilson McConnell ( July 1, 1877 - November 6, 1963) was an Anglo-Quebecer businessman newspaper publisher humanitarian and While the other three dormitories were constructed during the 1960s, Douglas Hall, which opened in 1937, is distinguished by its impressive stone facade and wood interiors. McConnell, Molson, and Gardner Halls share a cafeteria, located at the centre of the three dormitories, known as Bishop Mountain Hall.

Most second-year students transition to off-campus apartment housing, and apartment hunting is sometimes seen as a "rite of passage" for McGill students. In recent years, finding affordable housing has been challenging because of the city's tight housing market, particularly in neighbourhoods close to the McGill campus. [109] Many students end up living in the "McGill Ghetto," the neighbourhood directly to the east of the downtown campus. The McGill Ghetto (also known as Milton Park or officially Milton-Parc, after the neighbourhood's two main streets Milton and Park) is a Though termed the "Ghetto", the colloquial name for the area is somewhat misleading, in that the space is well-maintained and quite safe. The word "ghetto" is not, in this case, used in a derogatory manner - it is used with the true meaning of the word: a socioeconomically homogeneous area. [110] In recent years though, students have begun moving out to other areas because of rising rent prices in the Ghetto.

[148]
Finances
McGill has the third largest endowment of all Canadian educational institutions, approaching $1 billion. [149] This endowment rests within the top 10 percent of all North American post-secondary institutions' (of which there are over 850 such schools) endowments. [150] The school also maintains the fourth largest endowment on a per-student basis of any Canadian university. This list of Canadian universities by endowment contains the Universities in Canada with endowments worth C$ 100 million or greater
Tuition
Tuition fees vary significantly between in-province, out-of-province and international students, with full-time Quebec students paying around $3,500 per year, other Canadian students paying around $7,500 per year, and international students paying over $15,000 per year. Tuition means instruction or teaching. In American English, the term tuition is often used to refer to a fee charged for educational instruction A province is a territorial unit almost always an Administrative division.

[155]
Scholarships and financial aid
Scholarships at McGill are relatively difficult to attain, compared to other Canadian universities. A scholarship is an award of access to an institution or a financial aid award for an individual student scholar for the purpose of furthering their Education [156][157][158][159][160] This is predominantly due to the number of high academic achievers at the school. For out-of-province first year undergraduate students, a high school average of 95% is required to receive a guaranteed one-year entrance scholarship. [161] For in-course scholarships and renewal of previously earned scholarships, students generally need to be within the top 10% of their faculty. [162] For in-course scholarships in particular, students need to be within the top 5% of their faculty. [163][164] McGill itself outlines scholarship considerations as follows: "Competition for basic and major scholarships is intense at McGill. An extraordinary number of exceptional applications are received each year and therefore we cannot award scholarships to all good candidates. "[165] However, it should be noted that for the 2008-2009 school year, over 85% more entrance scholarships may be given to applicants, a number greater than ever before. [166]

Heraldry in its most general sense encompasses all matters relating to the duties and responsibilities of officers of arms. " A modern analysis is as follows: "The dancetty division line along the bottom of the chief reflects the three hills of Montreal, while the colours are those of Canada. The book in the centre of the chief represents learning (just like the book in every other university's coat of arms); the writing in the book is 'In Domino Confido' (I trust in the Lord) and is the motto of J. McGill. The crowns (bearing fleur-di-lys) represent the location of the university in 'Mount Royal'. "[174]

The colour of the field (gold) and the arm holding a cross (red) are from the second quarter of the arms of Sir William Macdonald, the tobacco manufacturer and philanthropist, who founded the College. His armorial bearings derived from the fact that he was a grandson of John, eighth Macdonald of Glenaladale.
Until the 1930s, the College used Sir William's achievement as one quarter of the College arms. The two red martlets and the open book with its motto are from the arms of McGill University. The clover leaves (also gold) signify fertility and their three segments suggest the three purposes of the Campus, i. e. agriculture, service and food. [175]
