Title
Discovering Adult Education at McGill University and the University of British Columbia
Abstract
In the early 1920s, McGill University and the University of British Columbia were engaged in a traditional form of university extension: the delivery of evening lectures by university faculty members to people not enrolled as undergraduate or graduate students. At McGill, adult education was established as an institutional priority in 1928 with the creation of the Department of Extra-Mural Relations. Adult education largely disappeared from McGill by the early 1940s, while at the University of British Columbia adult education was sustained as a prominent institutional priority until the 1960s.
