The American Society for Extension of University Teaching was founded at Philadelphia in June, 1890, and incorporated in March, 1892. Present officers: President, Frederick B. Miles; treasurer, Charles A. Brinley; secretary, Charles D. Atkins. The office is in Philadelphia. The aim of University Extension is, first, to extend higher education to all classes of people; second, to extend education through the. whole of adult life; third, to extend thorough methods of study to subjects of everyday interest. During the academic year 1905-06 the society arranged for the delivery of 112 courses of lectures at 89 centres. The total course attendance at lectures was 159,231. The number of courses arranged by States was as follows: Pennsyl-1 vania, 36; New York, 33; New Jersey, 16; Maryland, 8; Connecticut, 9; Massachusetts, 6; Rhode Island, 1; New Hampshire, 1; Delaware, 1; South Carolina, 1. The division by subject is as follows: Literature, 28; history, 25; music and art, 24; ethics and philosophy, 34; political economy, 1.

The constantly widening use that is being made of the society's lectures and of the University Extension system is shown by the auspices under which the Courses of 1905-'06 were delivered: Centres under control of women's clubs, educational institutions (schools, Brooklyn Institute, etc.), 25; New York City Board of Education (Free Lectures to the People"), 22; the University Extension Society and_the! Free Library of Philadelphia ("Free Lecture Courses to the People"), 14; regular University Extension Centres, 52. The society has just completed its sixteenth year of work. Since its organization there have been delivered under its direction 1,554! courses, comprising 9,126 lectures, The average attendance at each lecture has been over 200, the aggregate attendance 1,913,448. The most important work outside of that of the general society in Philadelphia, is carried on through the University of Chicago, the Regents of the University of New York, Rutgers College, New Bruns wick; Columbia University, New York, and in California. Sample syllabi and circulars descriptive of University Extension work can be obtained free of charge by addressing University Extenson Socety, No. 111 South Fifteenth st., Philadelphia, Pa

To keep this record complete and continuous deaths are included which occurred after December 23, 1905.
