1911 Encyclopædia Britannica, Volume 22… (1911)

In a wider sense the word is used of a syllabus or scheme of study, order of proceedings or the like, or of a catalogue or schedule containing the chief points in a course of action, and so, politically, in the sense of a list of the principal objects on which a party proposes to base its legislative course of action, as in the “Newcastle Programme” of 1891, drawn up by the Liberal Federation.
