E. Hall told Hur- on county council at its Janu- ary session. The Winchelsea euchre party was held on Monday evening at the school with prizes going to: ladies' high, Mrs. Ward Hern; gents' high, Gary Hern; lone hands, Ivan Brock; consolation, Phil Hern.

Mr. and Mrs. Bill Gilfillan, Randy, Wendy and Sherry, Qf Exeter, visited Saturday with Mr. and Mrs. Colin Gilfillan and family. "It is fantastically expen- sive," he said of the expansion, "but the alternative is fraught with disaster. At Western we doubled twice before, now have to double again. This we owe to the young people of this country." A campaign for $7,200,000 opens officially on March 1, but numerous important amounts already have been pledged by individuals and corporations. "Of all the universities of Canada with an operating bud- get of more than $4,000,000 per annum, Western has the high- est percentage -34% --derived from student fees,", Dr. Hall said. "This ratio we feel is re - Accompanying the president were R. B. Willis, vice-presi- dent, and William C. P. Bald- win, also of London. It happened that ex -warden Hugh Hill, of Goderich, was called upon by Warden Forbes for the customary "few words" right after Dr. Hall concluded. "I appreciate the value of education," Mr. Hill said, "but one of the problems in my mind is that we are educating people by hundreds and thousands as the years go by, and what is going to happen to them when they graduate? It is true that for the highly developed mind with which God has blessed a few, there is always an oppor- tunity, but as for the mediocre class, are we going to find posi- tions for them commensurate with the cost of their educa- tion? I think Dr. Hall has tak- en that into account and would have a satisfactory answer. "In selecting people for cer- tain offices we .sometimes place too much emphasis on degrees, but in some cases - not too many -we find the application of theoretical studies must be combined with another two, three,pr five years of practical experience- before the job is efficiently filled." "We wished to treat Western as a relatively small university of 5,000 maximum capacity," said Dr. Hall in opening his address. "I am reversing my field today and I want to tell you why. "Last year there were 35,000 university students, full-time, in universities of this province: On the . basis of the national picture it would appear that Ontario by 1970 would have to look after about 56,000 or 57,- 000, acid on that basis, with 5,000 at Western, we would have to maintain about the same percentage as in the past, about 10% of the university students of the province. "Last February it was found that Ontario universities had to look after, not 57,000 students by 1970, but that number by 1965, and the figure for 1970 was 92,000 full-time students in Ontario alone. Sixty thousand new university places have to be created in an eight-year per- iod. "We recommend to the ad- visory committee that four new universities be established as quickly as possible, two in the St. Catharines and Peterborough areas, and that two besides To- ronto and York be established in Metropolitan Toronto. "What does Western do? We have studied and re -studied, and Senate and faculty have decid- ed we should expand again, to look after 9,000 students by 1970. What is the cost? Give or take a few hundred dollars, it costs $7,000 per new stu- dent place. For Western at 5,000, that is $35,000,000. Whe- ther it comes from taxes, pri- vate subscriptions or corpora- tions, 60,000 new places will cost about $400,000,000 in the next eight years, of capital ex- penditure alone, and as uni- versities get larger, operating costs go up. This is something we as Canadians have to face. I would think the future, not only of Ontario but the whole country, could be at stake. "That is how great the prob- lem is, and how serious West- ern's part is. Nine thousand students out of a 'total of 92,000 will be retaining our percent- age of about 10. "Another part of the picture just as relevant: last year there were 2,650 full-time students in universities of Ontario. If we are to retain the same student - staff ratio by 1970 that we had last year we have to find, train. educate and develop 6,000 ad- ditional full - university teachers in an eight-year per- iod, and if we cannot, there is no point in building four new univer, ties and expanding- oth- ers. 1- went through a criti- cal period of • shortage of sec- ondary school teachers a few years ago.

It happen- ed we could get a fair number each year from the United Kingdom, but no longer, be- cause they are having compar- able problems and six new uni- versities are being built, there. The same picture holds with the United States. We will be fortunate if we can bring back from the U.S. graduate schools some Canadians to help us. Most must come from our own graduate schools. "Western, interestingly en- ough, has one of the largest faculties of graduate studies in Canada, and it is going to be the primary responsibility of Toronto and Western', with some assistance from M$r.Master and Queen's,, to provide the bulk of these 6,000 teachers' through a tremendous increase in the facilities and numbers of graduate sfudents. Western in this connection has to treble from its present total of 500 graduate students to something over 1,509 by 1970, and every- body knows -I am sure you all know-how much it costs per student per year in a primary school, how much more in sec- ondary, and some know what it costs at university."
