Tho special: committee appointed by
the Provincial Government to investi-
gate the administration of the:Uni-
versity of Toronto: has completed•its
task. Its report- contains eighteen
recommendations,as' set forth in the
summary below. Some of these • re-
commendations' have a direct bearing
upon the welfare of Canadian citizens
as `a whole. Research woxlt should
have generous 'financial support;,
Splendid results have already been
obtained from the efforts of scientists
in the university. The method of
liquifying: helium, the development in.
the realm:10 anaesthesia, and the dis-
'covert' of a cure for diabetes are .re-
cent instances. '
Tho encouragement of extension
work throughout the province is also
strongly recommended: - Many a man
and woman deprived of early educa-
tion has been helped: by extramural
courses, Highly trained university
men visit numerous centres through-
out Ontario; summer schools are held
and correspondence courses bridge
the, gulf to 'higher education, .:This
work, in the opinion of the committee,
deserves the Government's generous
aid. e;
It has long- been the opinion of
educationists that first-year,univers-
ity work should be undertaken by the
high schools and :collegiate institutes
of the. province. The advantages,, of
this change are apparent to every one.1
Students would spend an -extra year
under the care of their parents and
of the teachers who know them best.
They would thus become more ;mature
ed` before entering upon the: work of
the. university and therefore more cap-
able of profiting by its advantages.
A specialist. course could be pursued
with lees "effort on the' part of 'the
student and with better results at the
end a .his college term,' Besides the
coat of an extra year in the collegiate
would be less than that. at the uni.
versity, an important consideration to
parents in these days of financial
stress_.
-
Of great' interest .to the university
graduates—many of whom -fought: for
alumni representation on the' Board
of Governors -the, committee express
es itself ' as :quite won over to the
proposition; and recommends that the
Federated Alumni Association of .the
University of • Temente be entitled to
elect eight Governors' out of the total
of .twenty-four by direct election..
AleoTof-interest to all graduates is.
the loot ;that the Alumni Federation
is to take the place of Convocation,
which; had become virtually obsolete
as constituted under the Act. '
It is recommended that the.CityJof
Toronto contribute to ;the support of
the university In.a -measure° commen—
surate with the ,benefits accruing, to
the city as the seat of the Empire's
largest university. It is estimated
that the suer of: $3,500,000" is expended -
in the city annually by the college and,
the students, and another $500,000„
saved to the city, without taking into
consideration inoney"expended,for new
buildings, which provide employment
for Toronto workmen.
In regard to the re -organization: of
Toronto General Hospital the report
adds:- "In connection with the release
of certain doctors from the hospital
staff, the committee considers that the i

a regrettable lack of consideration for,

ffncient'services rendered to the uni
rsity and the hospital for many
ears by those whose services were Do
I abruptly and irregularly terminated Iii
under the authority, and with the ap
proval of the President of the uni
varsity." This matter is mentioned in
section 16 of the summary of recom
mendations:
In dealing with the relation' of the
Eaton and ,Rockefeller gifts to the'
changes in organization, the commit-
tee finds that they did';have a bearing
on` the reorganization -and it recom-
mends that in future,` private endow-
ments should' not 'be accepted unless.
given unconditionally:
The following is a summary of the
recommendations:,
1. That the'relationship` between
the University of Toronto and'the
Federated: Colleges; having proved at
all . times eminently setisfaotoiy, be
not disturbed.
,2. That the present, methods of fin-
ancing the university. be continued,
8. That (a) plans for the erection
of new buildings and extensions, and
substantial alterations on existing.
buildings; and (b) terms of gifts of-
fered to the university, be subject to
bus czpproval of the Senate before' ace
ceptance by. the board of governors;
'7. That generous'provision be ;made
for' the.furtherance of the efforts, of
those' engaged in-:scientifle ,research.
8. That the composition of the coun-
cil of the faculty of medicine ,be ree
vised, so as ito,enable lecturers and in-
structors in the clinical departments
td vote after serving as assessors for
three years,. and restricting -the fran-
chise in the primary (non -clinical)
departments to full' professors only."
9.`That the status .of the Ontario
College of Education be continued as
ab present.

vereity.
