This was the picture set out before nearly 200 secondary school principals meeting in Port Arthur last week, by Dr. J. R. McCarthy, deputy minis- ter of University Affairs. In 1944-45 Ontario's univer- sities had a total enrollment of 13,000. By 1965-66 this had reached nearly 53,000. In the 19'70-91 academic year the number of students is expected to reach 100,000. "By a colossal effort on the part of university teachers, ad- ministrative officers, boards of governors, and of government," he said, "the objective of pro- viding for all qualified stud- ents has been attained." This was, he maintained, a record unmatched by any other juris- diction. In 1944-45 the capitalgrants to the universities from the On- tario Government totalled $5.6 million. This year they will reach $150 million. Total grants over the past two decades come to $405 million. By 1970-71 there will be an addi- tional $950 million required "and this could reach one bil- lion dollars." He felt that while Ontario had so far carried this burden alone, help would also have to be forthcoming from the Feder- al Government. Paralleling thr Ontario Gov- ernment's construction assist- ance to universities, has been the development of its student awards program, providing fin- ancial help to students bound not only for university but to other post-secondary institu- tions as well. The program, which ranges through Ontario Scholarships to bursaries and outright grant as- sistance, in 1966-67 will total $10.5 million in "non-repay- able awards to students." This, he stated, was in addition to the $18 million made available by the Federal Government in student loans. "The trend has now reached the point," he said, "where no qualified student need forego attendance at a post-secondary school because funds are not available to him."
