The University was founded in 1877, func­ tioning until 1904 as an examining body, in­ struction being given in three denominational colleges affiliated with the University. The University of Manitoba has these Faculties and Schools: Arts and Science, Medicine, Engineering and Architecture, Agriculture and Home Economics, Education, Social Work, Music, and Nursing Education. There were 4,387 students enrolled in the regular session and 1,069 Veterans in two special sessions.
