REPORT OF THE UOMM[TTEK APPOINTTEI) UYTIIE SE.VATE AND ALSO BY THE BOARD UF TKjyrKES. * Thfl Coinniittee iippointerl undor the following resolutions of the Senate and the Board of Trustees : Senate resolutions, Saturday, January 10th, 1891 : " (1) Resolved, that the president, tiie vioe-clianoellc.rand tho inover(Hou. Mr. Blake) " be appointed a coiuiuitteo to iniiuins into and rejD.)rt ujk)ii tlie present and prospective " reveuues and the most urgtuit potjuniary reciuirein'iits of tiiii University and of " University College, and as to the timn, ino.le dul ordiT in which tbaso requirements " should be dealt witli. " (2) Resolved, that the memorials from the lecturers iu German, French and Latin, "and from th" leeturers in English and (Jrecik, and all forini-r memorials and reports of " committees relative to the subject be referred to the above committee." Board of Trustees resolution, Thursday, -lanuary loth, 1891 : " The Board of Trustees, learning tliat the Government desire.s a full report as to " the present and prospective (iiiancial condition of Ll>i; University and its urgent pecuniary " requirements, and ihe time, iiexlc and order iu which tlioy ."hould be dealt with, and *' that the Senate has appoiuted tin cbaucellor, vice-cluiiioeror and president a com- " mittee to in(iuire into and report therisou, aiipoints the same persons ou its part a " committee to inquire i ato and report thereon in so far as thij Board is concerned in such "inquiry." beg to report as follows : They have conferred with the members of the Faculty ; obtained and collected their written statements ; received various persona and deputatious ; eximined into numerous matters involved in the reference ; anel deliberated fiequeutly as to the course to be recommended. They have thought it not irrelevant, but on the contrary important, to endeavour to set out some principles and theories on which, as they conceive, ajtion should be based. In view of the scope of the reference and of tb'! condition of the finances, they have not attempted to frame an ideal organization, or oven to dispose of all the claims forcibly presented. It seemed sufficient to deal with the more urgent claims, to an amount which there is some hope of overtaking in the course ol; the tioxl two financial years, and to defer the residue till the conditions of the revenue offer some prospect of further relief. In dealing with so great a variety of delicate and dinpatable points, and such a com- plication and competition of claims and interests, they are not so presumptuous as to affirm that they have avoided all errors of judgment ; still less can they hope that they have met everybody's wishes. Hut they have taken care to embo'ly in their report the utateiiients laid before them, and thuH to give the mateniilH for corroding any niistakeii into which tliey may have fallen.

((/) J)etaclied prop rtit s on York street, Queen street and Front street under lease ; and some small outlying properties of trilling value. (>;) Land claims, including cliini for allowance, as ground rent for the site of the School of Practical Science ; and claim for allowance as ground rent for the site of the Parliament Buildings. (2) Mortgages as of 1st July, 1890, !?5C2, 101.5-1. (3) Debenture-^ as of sume date, !<38r),812..').S. (4) City of Toronto, perj.etual annual payment towards Chairs, of .$6,000 a year, equal on a capitalization at 5 |ier cent., to §120,000. (5) Fees ; a varying amount, subject to large deductions for expenses of examina- tions. Gross estimate from $17,000 to $20,000 a year. The present rentals of all the leased lands amount to §11,114 per annum, subject to great improvement on distant renewals. Theii' value, if free from these leases, would be very great ; but is, of cour.-^e, reduced by the low rents at present in force. The value of the unleaseil lands, open for sale or lease, is from one and a quarter to one and a hall' millions of dollars. The claim for an allowance in the nature of ground rent for the site of the School of Practical Science is recognized, and is dealt with later in this report. The claim for a like allowance for the site of the Parliament Buildings is disputed ; and on this, reference is made to an article by Mr. T. Hodgins, Q.C., in The 'Varsity of 21 St January, 1888, and to Sir Daniel Wilson's Convocation address of 14th October, 1887. It thus appears that the resources of the University, apart from the value of the lands and buildings reserved for the purposes of the institution, are so large as to put its future, under wise and prudent administration, beyond all doubt or question ; and to enable it by the realization of its assets greatly to increase its efficiency.

Tiic leaH(' of ilie S.'ott Htreet property expires in 1K02, wlien a lari,'- addition vill ha niaiie to the rent. It ui proposed to <,'ive tenants of liu\'c park hits, ineindinj,' unoccupied groun.l ivail- abh^ for ;,'Ood detaehecj residences, the ouportuiuty of huildini,' thereon on proper .Mudi- tions ; and lor tliis purpose to niodityilie liuildiiii,' resirioiiuns, on condiiion ihal, the University recoives a shan* of the protit liy an iniprovcd rent. Incomk. The income of the University from all sources; including <,'ros.s fees calculated at ?19,000 ; without makini,' any allowance for a contingent fund in conne.!tiun with in- vestments, and without reckoninij on any incHMSed receipts from land silt>s or rentals, is estimated at aliout ?fy.'},r)00 for the current year. Tlio advance of cajiital in connection with the Bioloj^ical huilding hi-, temporarily reduced the invested funds. Prudence requires the retention of a yearly sum for the formation of a contingent fund to mei-t possible losses on investuieuts. To tliis purpose ?20,000 has already hten appropriated in the course of former years ; and •i'.l.OKO a year sliould if possible be appropriated for sonii! years to oTne : suUjei^t to iiicreis:i as the mortgage investments incriiase, until a full guar:>.:ity fund is accumulated. Tlie present available income may be estimattsd at about .$1)3,500 ; or, making the suggested appropriation for contingent fund, at 5'88,.'300. Expectations. It is confidently hoped that within a comparatively ;di)rt time tli'! yearly ia;;onia, will be largely increased from the various indicated sources, and it m.iy bi' reasouio', ox- pected that it will be improved before the end of the next (itiancial year by abou •?12,5tiU or more, producing a total of $106,000 ; and thali tiiis improvement will Ijo proi^ressivi; ia future years till the increase reaches at, leisfc -^50,000 a year. But, of course, .ts the movement depends uiaiidy on the saleability of Toroato lands, it is impossible to calculate jtHrate of progress or its extent with exactness. OoMFAiiATivE Tables.

The greatest p.iins have been taken to secure a satisfactory design, and the working plans are now lieing pre[iared. The approximate estimate of cost is ^CijOOO, so that this important building will be provide I almost free of cost to the University. LntHAKY Books. ! i It is very gratifying to report our condition and prospects as to books. This loss it was which moved our friends at home and abroad more than any other inciilent in our misfortune. Our insurance is ^50,000. Subscriptions have been made to over .$42,500, ot which over $16,000 has been paid. The balance is payable by instalments spread over several years, and though there will, of course, be some shrinkage, it is expected to produce a very large sum. We have also received up to this date as presents 26,622 volumes of a very high average value. It is expected that with these liberal aids the library can, by means of the subscrip- tions, be put in a condition of great practical etiiciency ; and it is proposed to convert the insurance money into a permanent library fund to be devoted exclusively to the increase of the books. Museum Specimens. Archteological, Mineralogical, Biological. Our insurance on these was $8,000. It is hoped that a public appeal, as soon as the new museum is opened, will produce a considerable number of specimens, to be supplemented by purchases out of the insur- ance money, which should be devoted to this object. Liberal promises have been made and some valuable gifts have already reached us. FuRNIXaRE, Our insurance on this was $4,000. ktoty supply Library iind L'ation hall.

The funds for the laboratory building costing (with 84GG,76 for outfit) 357,126.54, have been provided as follows : — Out of surplus income S24,96o 77 Advanced out of endowment 32,166 77 ?57,120 54 The recommendation of the Board of trustees was that the $30,000 allowed by the government to the University in respect of the old park buildings should be devoted to this object, which application would now leave to be j)rovided for only $2,166 77, which was to bo advanced out of capital and recouped out of surplus income. The Order-in-Counc 1, however, stated, perhaps inadvertently, that the recommendation of the Board was that the balance required, over and above .$15,500 then available from surplus income, should be taken out of capital, and that the au»ount should be recouped out of income, and it adopted this assumed recommendation. The $30,000 referred to has been put to the credit of the endowment fund. In the present state of the income fund and of the demands thereon it becomes necessary to adjust this balance ; and an advantai^eous plan for doing so, and for settling the coat of the museum addition to this building, and of other needed buildings, forms part of this report. The estimated cost of the museu. addition is $65,000, the payments thereon, amounting up to April 18th to $54,329.28, have been made out of the capital of the endow- ment ; and it is pro} h to provide for the adjustment thereof, as well as for the erection of further necessary buildings. ^jS part of the museum building, and with a view to provide fully for the future expansion of the department, and to alford the amplest facilities for the study of all the subjects on the curriculum, lecture-rooms and accommodations have been provided suit- able for the study of human anatomy and physiology. 22 The evidence on this subject is as follows : — I. (Abstract of memorial by Dr. Macallnm in the study of human anatomy.) Cambridge (Enjjland) University. (Only examination papers accessible.) In the natural science tripos the student is required to take human anatomy, both descriptive and practical, in his biolofjical course. Every i)aper in this course contained from one to tlirce stiflf questions in human anatomy, 1887-9, and the student was compelled to show that he could dissect out. any part of the body required in such a shape as to satisfy the examiners that he was a ,i,'Ood dissector, In 188) -8 there were three (juestions on human anatcmy on every paper (6 in nuTuber) in Part I., and there was in addition a paper on practical hum;in aniitomy. In Part IT. from two to three questions (stiff ones) on human anatomy were on every paper in bio]o<;y, with a paper on practical human anatomy. In 1888-9 the .same is true of Part I. ; in Part II. there were four examination papers on human anatoi.iy alone in the biological course, with one paper on practical anatomy. The biological course in Oambridgr is not a steeper one than in the University, except in this •■espect. TIk- huii>aii body is the best subject on which the biological student can gain his accurate liabits of dissection and his thorough grinding in vertebrate anatomy, which is necessary to a good biologist, zoologist and physiologist. In this respect the Cambridge University authorities are wise, and the result is that the Cambridge school of biologists is the most reliable in the world. Tiie dissecting room is on the University ground and witliin a stone's throw of the biological laboratory. Melbourne, Colony of Victoria (Australia). The degrees of this institution are esteemed almost as highly as those of the Universities of London, Cambridge and Oxford. It is only recently that the governing body has tilled tiie chairs in ths science and modicil faculties, and therefore a full curri- culum in these departments has not been made out. They have the buildings of the medical de])artment, including the dissecting room, situated on the University grounds, within a stone's throw of the arts building. This University is supporteil and endowed by the Government of the colony. Edinburgh and Glasgow. In Edin The dissecting rooms are in the wings of the main University buildings, burgh the dissecting room fronts one of th > busiest streets. I . versity College, London. The dissectim.', room is here also in the main building, adjacent to chemical and physiological laboratories.^ As this college is not empowered to grant degrees its course of study is adapted to the netds of the student and the University examinations he pro- posts to take. Yale. In the course on comparative anatomy a series of lectures on embryology is delivered with special ri'fercnce to human morphology (human anatomy), and this is compulsory ou the students in biology. (Calendar, p. 130.) University of Penn.s"lvania — School of Biology. In this laboratory the student is required in the advanced course to undertake the minute dissection of a mammal, which is gener.ally repre.sented by the cat. In the "Handbook of Infjrmation concerning the School of Biology"' there is a sort of apalogy 23 my.) ible.) atomy, both ituined from jompelled to IS to satisfy uestions on aildition a tiff ones) on xn anatomy, n papers on boiny.

In Edin mical and its course •ns he pro- 3 delivered pulsory 01,. rtake the In the >f apjlogy for this choice. The directors (p 95) say : " It is not necessiry to dwell on the import- ance to the general student of a knowledge of his own body, or on tiio value of such careful work u{)on one type to the student who intends to devote himself to more advanced ■work in the future." The reason doul)tle!:'.; I'or the choice made (the cat instead of human subject) is no doubt the distance betwedu the school of biology building and the medical building. McGill College. There is no course in biology in this institution, and zoology is made subservient to geology and therefore is behind the time. The dissecting room is in the medical building round the corner of the main Univer- sity building. Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore There is a full course on human osteology (structure of the skeleton) given by Dr. Brooks, Associate Professor of animal morphology, which is compulsory on the students of the biological department. The dissecting room is at considerable distance from the biological laboratory and, therefore, renders impossible the requiring the biological student to take anatomy of the soft part of the human body. There is a couise, how- ever, for the biological students, in which the main facts of Immin anatomy are taught and demonstrated, and a course of lectures is given in the same line and like that given by the professor of the department. Dr. Martin, in his " Human Body." University of Toronto. The curriculum recjuires of the pass arts student, under the head of biology, a coarse in the elements of human anatomy and physiology. Demonstrations are given in the subject of physiology, but except in the structure, etc., of bones (osteology) there are no demonstrations in anatomy. In the fourth year honor biology, human anatomy (under the head of comparative anatomy) is one of tht; subjects a knowledge of which is e.xacted of the student, but owing to the great distance between the dissecting room of the medical faculty and the biological laboratory, there is a great waste of time in going to and from the former. As the aver- ago student must, in order to give himself a practical acquaintance with the other sub- jects of the biological course, spend over 600 hours in the laboratory — the curriculum demands 400, but that will not give the student the practical insight he required into these subjects unless he be excessively (mergetic — ho can, therefore, in 100 days have little spare time for anything else. In spite of this drawback half of the number of fourth year students are taking the dissecting course in the dissecting room of the medical faculty. 2. Dr. Macallum, by letter dated 7th April, 1891, expresses regret at the absence of Professor Eanisay Wright at this juncture and his hesitation in advancing himself as spokesman of the department, and encloses a reswm' of his arguments in favor of requir- ing a knowledge of human anatomy from the students in the arts faculty who are taking the honor natural science course, as follows : — (I) In the pass course of the first year in arts there is required the knowledge of the elements of luiman anatomy amd physiology. These two subjects are, admittedly, of a useful character to a student who takts biology onco only during his under- graduate course. Whatever can bo said in this respect for the pass student applies with greater force to the student taking the honor natural science cou "•'3. The latter is required to have a practical acquaintance with the comparative anatomy of vertt.'brates, thegcmeral type of structure running through all the vertebrates; and comparison is possible on the part of the stuilent, only when he knows the anatomy of one or more vertebrate forms thoroughly. In no one form is the structure so carefully worked out us in the 21 human sulject, and about no other form ia there obtainable in text-book shape the knowledge necesHiiry to serve as a basis for comparison. It ia only when a student is fairly well acquainted with human anatomy that he is capable of appreciating; the bear- ings of comparative obnta-vations. From this point of view, then, human anatomy ought to be studied by the students of the honor biological course. Professor Wright liolds, I know, similar views as to the relations of anatomy to his subject. The great difliculty in the way of carrying out sudi views has been and is the long distance between the dissecting room and the biological laboratory, and the consequently great loss of tim(! lo liio student in passing lietwetm the two places. Because of this we have not done more than to recommend the fourth year biological students to take a course of dissi-ction of the human subject. Half of them have, indeed, taken a partial course in the same this year. (2) It may be stated that human anatomy is not a proper subject for an arts course. Regarded from the view of sentiment and, possibly, custom, probably not; yet whatever can be said in this respect against its place in the arts course may be said with apparently equal force against considering physiology as a subject of the arts course. The latter, however, passes unquestioned in the majority of the English ar.d in the best American universities, while it is considered as a medical subject, and arbitrarily separated from biologv, in the German universities. (Ji) Tlie University of Toronto in regard to its honor biological course approaches more nearly the University of Cambridge than it does any other university (with the exception perliaps of that of London.) In Cambridge a theoretical knowledge of human anatomy, and a course of dissection of tlie human subject are required in every one of the examinations of the natural science tripos leading to the B. A. degree. I may also add tliat the thoroughness of the examinations in this subject for the B. A. degree far surpasses that of the examinations for the medical student even in the University of London. As a result, I believe, of this thoroughness, the graduate of the biological course in Cambridge is more carefully trained and carries more of his training into his subsequent scientific work than is and does the graduate of a similar course in any other university. From the very fact that it is among the leading biological schools of the world, if it is not itself the foremost one, it appears safe to say that the most progressive teachers in biology legard human anatomy as much within the domain of their subject as the anatomy of a lish or of an insect. (4) Human anatomy, taught as it is in Cambridge, is a science, not a subject merely for qualilication for the medical profession, and as a science it is taught in Oxford, Owens, Dublin, and other universities. As a science it takes its place beside physiology, botany, and zoology, as a sub-department of biology. Probably a scheme, such as that givea below, may show its relations to the other subjects of the biological course, and it may make clear the necessity of cultivating, on the part of the honor biological students, the study of one as much as of the other : f Morphology (structure) f Vegetable BlOLOCiV Animal .

Recommendation. It is expected that the number of arts students taking the indicated studies will shortly increase ; but at first they will be very few. The gi'^at h\ilk_of the students who would most diiGctly profit by the acconiinodations, in the first instance, would naturally be those preparing for medicine ; and it would not Le proper at present to propose Uni- versity provision for tuition. The public is deeply interested in the provision of facilities for ellicient training in these subjects, as also in that of bacteriology, the modern discoveries in which have opened such vast and important fields of iiKjuiiy and research in the direction of the origin and prevention of disease ; and it would seem that facilities in some of the subjects may be afforded without mateiial cost to the; state, by allosving a certain use, meanwliile, of some of the accommodations of this building to the students preparing for medicine, on condition that the arts students in biology simil obtain on e(jual terms the benefit of the instructirm ; tliat the arts department shall en jov such use of the premises as is re(iuisite, and that th(^ University sliail provide, out of the forty per cent, reserved from the medical fees for running expenses, an adequate allowance for the accommodation. The temporary use proposed is of the attics, and the occupation for two hours per day of the lecture room, and some basement accommodations ; ^.nd it is proposed that for such use an allowance should be made to the University, based on the cost of that part of tlie building, calculating interest at 4 per cent., the rate of charge as hereafter set out. We are satisfied that 81,200 per annum would be a ju.st and adequate allowance on this basis. The expense of maintenance and repairs should be borne in like proportion. Department of Chemistry. The evidence as to the needs of this department is as follows • 1. November 7th, 180O. Letter from Professor Pika to the Sen.'ite, stating that this term, notwith- starJing an increase in the number of working places in the laboratory, there remain excluded 15 students for whom no provision can be made, and that a new chemical laboratory should be immediately constructed ; also, stating that the large number of lectures to be given by the professor, requiring time for preparation, prevent his taking any real share in the practical instructions, and that the whole practical work falls on a necessarily inexperienced Fellow, who is called on to teach more students sim- ultaneously than the most experienced teacher could possibly do ; ami that there is an outspoken leeling of disiontent among the students ; and pressing the appointment of a demonstrator of chemistry who can superintend the practical instruction, and assist the professor by undertaking some of the lectures. '2. Letter from Professor Pike to the r< gisti ar, for the information of the Senate Committee, giving further details on the above sulijects, stating that the time recpiired for the delivery and preparation of his two experimental lectures per day takes, in all, about four hours ; that during the lecture to one class the others are receiving their laboratory tuition, and that in consequ(Mu;e the professor cannot take any real share in the practical teaching; finther, that the fellow has to take charge of the laboratory every day of the week from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m , has to superintend a class of 49, 41 simultane- ously, of whom 40 have never been bi'fore in a laboratory ; and renewing his request for the appointment of a demonstrator ; and suggesting a salary such as is paid to the demon- strator of physics. 26 3.

Memo, from Professor Pike, for the information of the above committee, as to the requirements of the department, based on two assumptions : (1) On the assumpti(m tliat only students in arts are to be provided for, in which case Professor Pike requires (a) A laboratory to teaoh TOO students, with lecture rooms. (1) for 150 students, (2) for 50 students ; (b) A demonstrator of che:nistry as above mentioned. (2) On the assumption that tiie dapartmcnt is to undertake the whole of the tuition in th(! faculties of arts and medicine, and elementary classes of the School of science, lectures only, he reijuires (a) a laboratory large enough to teach 200 students practical chemistry, with lecture rooms for 300 and 100 students ; (h) Besides the proposed demonstrator above mentioned, a demonstrator for the medical students, and a Fellow for them. Professor Pike states that at present the students attending his lectures are : — Arts. a P Chemistry, Ist year pass and honor 49 " 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years, honor 49 Department of physics and mathematics 15 School of Science.

Professor Pike adds that all the medical and school of science .students receive their instruction in practical chemistry from the school of science and not in the University laboratory. 6.

That his present lectures per week are : — 2 inorganic (arts, medicine, and School of Science), 2 advanced ( do do ), 2 elementary organic (medicals only), 3 organic (arts only). 1 special lecture to 2nd year chemicil and mineralogical students. 10 in all. That he is hard at work every day from 10 a.m. to 6.30 p.m., with not more than half an hour for lunch. Tiiat six of the lecture.^ are to large audiences, requiring a loud tone ; and thai the continuous ta.king in lecture-room and laboratory has so weakened his throat that even had he time he could not deliver a third lecture. That, save one lecture to the second year men, none are given to the students in chemistry and mineralogy. That no lectures at all are given to the 4th year men. That the conse([uence.'< are very apparent, and the eflfect on the students in the depart- ment in the earlier years is still worse. That in the third year the tuition is identical with that given to the students in the natural science department, and the conse(iuence is that the men know very little more than the natural science men who are required in addition to chemistry to pass examina- tions in biology and geology. That these defects have become so glaring that it would be inconsistent with his duty to continue to deliver to medical students special lectures, the delivery of which prevents any attention to the students in arts who are to graduate in chemistry. And that he would like an opportunity to explain in detail the work, and the abso- lute need of some re-arrangement of the teaching. 7. January 8th, 1891. Report of the Senate committee appointed to consider the question of new buildings for the departments of chemistry, mineralogy and geology. That there is a very pressing need of increased and more suitable accommodation for these departments. That plans and statements of the necessary accommodation, as submitted to the archi- tect by the professors, are estimated to require for chemistry from $7o,000 to .$100,000, and for mineralogy and geology .$40,000, but it is thought that these sums may be materially reduced. That, should an arrangement be made with the Ontario Government to pay a rent charge for the ground occupied by the School of Science after the departments cease to use the building, the rent might be set against the interest on the cost of the proposed buildings. And that the Ontario Clovernment might bo legitimately asked to meet part of the expense of ]irovi(ling the required accommodation, since students in the School of Practical Science receive instruction from the officers of the departments. 8. The Report of the Senatf; committee on teaching facilities, mentioned earlier, to the effect that the accommodation applied for by the professors in chemistry and miner- alogy and geology is urgently required and should be provided, just as soon as the financial position of the University will admit. 28 9. Professor Piko in answer to the request of the Committee : — (1) To explain the relations existing between the department, the School of Practical Science, and tli(! Medical Fiiciilty, states as follows : (n) The Mfdical I'aculty expects the University to supply all the laboratory and lecture instruction requisite, and the present airiingenients are only temporary expedients to overoonie the want of rouni and of teacliors. The division now is, that Professor Pike gives all the lecture instruction, and Dr Ellis of tli(! School of Scienco all the practical tuition to the medical students. (h) It is understood that under the arrangements between the School of Science and the University, the University teaches free of cost any School students who come forward. For reasons given later only 24 out of 90 are at present availing themselves of thi» privilege. ((•) The following are the statistics of tuition in chemistry for 1890-91 : Statistics of Tuition given in Chemistry, 1890-91. School ok l'K.\CTicAr. Scienck. Univkhsitv. DESCHirTION. Lectures.

(2) — (a) There are in addition to 10 hours lectures, 40 hours of tuition in practical work, making in all 50 hours of actual teaching ; and this without reckoning the time needed to prepare ex[)eriments and materials. (6) The teaching of an experimental science must always demand much more time money, and as.sistance, than reading lessons in French grammar or French literature. (3) To compare chemical departments elsewhere with that here : In the Massa- chusetts College of Technology provision is made to teach chemistry to 500 students, and the staff of teachers is 17. Here Dr. Ellis and Professor Pike with two Fellows have to teach 350 students. 29 [ of Practical boratory and •y expedients tion, and Dr ts. )1 of Scion CO its who come elves of thi» ITV.

The amount realised thus has been considerably under SI 00 a year and about one- third of the laboratory expenses for practical work. The medical students have contributed an average of about 8106 a year to the laboratory of the school. (e) As to any proposal to charge laboratory fees, it is not desirable or fair to place students in science in any different position from other students in arts by charging laboratory fees. But the fees now charged arts students by the University could be doubled without any real diminution of the number of students ; the 500 arts students would thus con- tribute $10,000 more to the funds, and the charges would be but two-thirds of those of Trinity. This view is shared by several old graduates. (/") The medical students attending the University lectures in chemistry have this year paid the medical faculty, in fees charged for the chemical tuition alone, §2,465. (g) Dr. Ellis and Professor Pike agree in thinking that a comSination of the teach- ing in chemistry of the arts and medical students with that of the students of the school is undesira\)le and incompatible with good results, because — (ga) The term of the medical faculty of the school ends before that of the arts faculty ; so that either the medical students do not get all the lectures, or the lectures must be too much condensed. <{(jb} The numbers of the three sets are too great to enable them to see the experi- mental demonstrations satisfactorily ; nor can the lecturer ascertain the progress he is making with his class. These numbers now amount to 350 and Victoria will increase them to at least 400. Of these there will then be about 160 to 180 arts students : from 75 to 85 in honors, requiring practical work, of whom there are now 65 ; and from 90 to 100 pass students. To teach these numbers necessitates a considerably increased staflF and very greatly increased accommodation. (grc) The requirements of the arts and medical students differ ; and the subjects should be presented to each differently. After nine years trial of joint tuition the Board of the school withdrew their elemen- tary classes from the aits l>"3tures, and provided special lectures for them in harmony with the School course. The arts students are taught the science of the subject, while the medical and school students should rather be taught the applications of the science to their own subject. iyd) While the arts students voluntarily select the science as one for which they have a taste, the medical students are compelled to attend in order to pass an examination, which is in general distasteful ; and they constitute in conse- quence a disorderly section of the class, declining to give attention to any part of the subject which they think superfluous for their own examinations, and thus distracting disastrously the attention of the arts students ; and there are ctnstant jealousies between the two sets, which increase the disorder. ^(ge) Dr. Ellis thinks that if provided with proper assistance (demonstrator, etc.), he could for the ychool of science undertake the joint teaching of ih') medical and School students. (g/) The fees paid by the medical students would pay for a demonstrator, and go far to pay the laboratory expenses also. .(/t) As to what can be done pending the completion of a laboratory 1 m 30 If the question of a laboratory is early settled, it can be ready by October, 1892^ which It-aves only one academic year to considf r. In this view (ha) If the Senate will alter thecurriciiluin by postponing thn demand for laboratory tuition for students of inathtnnatios and physios for this an J noxt year ; and (hb) If the Minister of P^ducation will arrange- for the toachin;^ of candidates for the " First A" examination elsewhere, the work can be continued for one year in the present quarters but no longer. ((■) To place the chemical department on a satisfactory footing it is necessary to have — (la) Additional lectures in the arts department of chemistry and mineralogy ; about ten per week. (ill) A second lecture-room in case medical tuition is to be part of tho duties of the- depurtinent. '•'•) Additional accommodation.

Iieco)nme7idatton. This evidence makes it clear that the present temporary arrangements are wholly inadequate, and should be changed as soon as practicable. So far as can be conjectured, without detailed plans and estimates, the requisitions of the piof'Ssor wouli involve an expenditure (fi)r a building adequate for the instruc- tion ot both students in arts and students in medicim^) of ? 100,000, of which possibly $.jO,000 may be the amount required for students in medicine. \mt it is thought that, -y cutting down tho size and the character of the materials and architecture to tne lowest point consistent with true economy and eth- cieacy, the cost may be reduced to (say) .'780,000, of which §.')(l,OUO to ^60,000 would be the au.ount requisite for arts, and $20,000 to ij30,000 the additional amount, requisite fur medicine. , Thu.s t!ie extent of the building requirements depends on the question raised in the eviden-e. wheth(;r the students in medicine are to receive their instruction with the students in arts, under the supervision of the University Professor, or with tho.'-e in the School of science, under the supervision of the professor of that School, who is also Professor of Chemistry in the medical faculty, and who now conducts the practical work. It is suggested that the latter course is, for several reasons appearing in the evidence, and on the ground of economy, as to buildings, in tho present condition of the University funds, the more advantageous ; and the existing accommodations of the School of science under the proposed re-arrangement will be ample. If this view be alopted an agreement should bo nuide under which the Uni- ver'iity should, out A the 40 per cent, of tho medical fees reserved for running, expeji;5»s^ provide for any extra expense attending the tuition of the medical students. Thik done, the building needs of the department will be limited by the require DUiutB for students in arts. To answer these requirements it is proposed to erect a plain brick building ; and it is obvious tint that this work is most urgent, and that plans should be obtained and the work put under contract tho moment tthe necessary financial arrangementa can be made. 31 October, 1892^ for laboratory year ; and idiitos for tlie ' one year in 1 necessary to ralogy ; aljout duties of the- and practical, save on an.

The evidence aH to the needs of this department is as follows : — (1) November fith, IH'JO. — Letter from TrolesKor Chapman to the Registrar for the Senate Committee itating : — (a) That ajiart from the need of an attendant, since provided for, no additional assistance as regards tuition is at present needed.

The report of the Senate Committee stated as number seven under the head of Chemistry. 4. The report of the Senate Committee .stated as number eight under the head of Chemi.^try. 5. December 15th, 1890. — Letter from Professor Chapman .stating that : — (1) The present accommodation and appliances an; utterly insufficient for the increas ing number of students taking practical work. This compels several suli-Jivisions of the class of each year, necessitating repetitions by the Professor of the work; thus each student obtains only one-half or one-fourth of the instruction ho would otherwise receive. (2) The rooms for the instiuction are half underground, among cellars and water- closets, unhealthy and ill-ventilated. When thr^ furnaces are lighted the rooms are over- heated, the pipes for other parts of the }>uilding being 'carried through the rooms over the heads of the students ; at other times the rooms are excessively damp and cold. In spring and autumn iron rapidly rusts, and books and papers become wet. (3) The only j)laces for keeping and showing specimens constantly required to be studied, are a small passage-way and a cellar. Specimens and instruments have to be carried at almost every lecture u|) and down three flights of stairs, and .ilong corridors; and there is no room for students' work between lectures. 32 (4) Yet the department iH regarded with great interest by the public, hardly a day passing without ftp|)lication8 for int'orination on matters connected with the Mineralogy and Geology of the Province; thus, last October there were thirty-two auch applications, and last November twenty-nine, all replied to without charge, in the interests of the University, by the ProfeHsor. 6. Professor Chaiiinan by letter of 2Gth January, with reference to queries advanced at the meeting with tlio faculty, expresses tiie opinions : — (1) Tiiat the teacliing of tlio University and the School of Practical Science can be protital)Iy combined, as rijgards his de[)artm()nt, if there bo provided a lecture room for ISO to '200 stuJentH, witli separate lal).)ratoriei for second year and third year students of the school and the lliiivtirsity ; but that.as th'J students increase in numbers, some additional assistance would be iifcded. The chief drawback is that the Scho )1 .suasion ond^ before that of the University, thus interrupting, for the examination of the School students, the arts lectures, just when the arts studcMits recjuire additional instruction in vi<>w of their approaciiing ;Hniination ; but additional assistance would mi'et this difficulty. Additional assistance involves additional space. To be of real benefit, the mineralo- gical and assay laboratories, ami the geological museum, sliould be open to students during the greater [tart of the day. There is now but one laboratory for the work of the second and third yetr engineers, and the second, third and fourth year University students. (2) As to temporary' provisions for tim next two years, he would willingly put up with any inconvenience and do his best to carry on tbf work me.mwhile, if there were visible any near prospect of propijr accommodation. (3) As to the possibility ot obtaining assistance from fees, he is strongly of opinion that many students are taking honor {i.e., practical) work without any proper prelimi- nary training or appreciation of the; work itself, ilo thinks honor work in natural science should be undertaken only by students who have a special aptitude for it, anu are prepared to get proper apparatus and books; but too many take up the work in a. very careless and desultory manner, svithout any intention of continuing it, and even disposing of their instruments and Itooks after tlie examination. They come for a degree, and not for practical knowledge, and a tolerably high fee miglit tend to keep students of tnis kind from attempting work for which they are really unfitted. Students of the second and third years pay a laboratory fee of $1 and $2, which there is always difliculty in collecting. . (4) As to the proljable results of confederation : — It will neces.sarily increase, and probably greatly increase, the number of science students. And as the numbers are, apart from this, rapidly increasing, it will be utterly impossible to cope with the numbers with the present accommodation. The subjects have so multiplied that no one subject will be able to receive more than one lecture or one practical lesson per week, a most undesirable condition for the student. (5) The proper work of a University, as distinguished from School work, is as follows : — (a) Lectures. (h) Examinations based thereon. (c) Any preliminary training or additional tuition required by students should be obtained from outside tutors. (d) There should be ample opportunity for practical work, but this should not, as regards examinations, be compulsory, because no laboratory will accommodate more than a certain number of students, and hence, many desirous to enter will often have to wait for a vacancy.

AssociATB Professors. The office of associate professor is recommended on various grounds. It provides means to meet a case in which a profe.ssor, through increasing years, becomes, though still capable of good M'ork and not ripe for retirement, less able for full duty. It affords an ojjportunity for appointing or promoting to an intermediate grade in cases in which the intereeks of the University would be served by such promotion ; but when, either from financial or other considerations, it is noc though, that an appointment should be made to the office of jjrofessor. It provides a greater measure of elasticity, which may from time to time bo found very useful in working out the details of management. Rkpresentation on Councils. The recommendation is approved that every associate professor should have a seats and that the executive should be empowered to aj)point any lecturer to a seat on the 86 I li '! council of liis fuculty. And it may be a«lded that the working of each of the faculties of arts, ni»!dicin(f and Liw would be facilitated l)y provision for stated conferences in council of all tho meml)erR of such faculty. Appointmknts. ^'o aiipoiutnu'iit should be made uri'-il after a fair opportunity has \wi a given to iutemiiui,' uppiicaiits to pnifer tlieir cliiiniH. No ollloe should b(! established, or chair fiiiei', or permanent engagement made, until there are funds adequate to the salary propi-rly :issii,'ned ; experience shows the errors and inconvenieiu t^s resulting from such preiuaiuie, appointments ; and therefore, for example, it is recoinmi'nded to postpone the crention or Hlliiig of profe.-.sorships u.itil th • funds are availabhs and to provI-!e for emergencies meann'hile by the tumpor.vry api)oiiitment of additional lecturers and FelloA-s. PiiOMOTIONS. The rule cannot be too clearly un l^rstood that the appointment to an oihoe of lower grade involves no claim or expecta'.ion of a right to promotion to a higher place. The man who is tit tor the lower may be unfit for t;i.e higher work ; the man of whom great expectations were (Mitertained may fail to realize them ; and the Executive must be absolutely free to choose the very best man available at the moment when the post is to be fille'.l. Advantages those already iri the service will always have ; the advantage of friend- ship an>l connect'on with colleagues and students ; and the advantage of opportunity of showing on the spot by the work they have done, their capacity for hi'^'her work. With these advantages all must -ubmit to the rule d^.tiir diijniori. Salaries. It is thought that the best and most improving service can be obtained at the least outlay l)y the plan of lower initial salaries, increasing by regular inorem Mits. It is not advisi.h'e to provide tiiat the initial minimum shall be always necessarily observed, as this might on rare occasions render impossible desirable arrangem.juts. But it ought to be the rtile. The salaries to be suggested include the sums int".nded to be reserved for a retire- ment fund. IL is proposed that the educational stati ir. arts should be composed cf officers of the following ranks and salaries : Professors and Associate Professors. Professors. — To be appointed at a minimum initial salary of $2,500, increasing by yearly increments of $100 to §3,200. Associate Professors. — Initial salaiy ipliSOO, increas" -g "s above to .'?2,.')()0. Lecturers and Demonstrators. Initial salary $800, increasing as above to $1,800. Felloivs. Salarv $500. This plan, of course, is not intended to apply to the exceptional case-s of profe^so m who give only a limited portion of their time, as those in law, or to interfere wuh > i •. power to make temporary arrangements for assistance, or to affect special considerations as to salaries which may have been fixed under exceptional circumstances. 37 I of the faculties id conferences in IS l)c^( a given to i^'nt made, until p the errors and I'e, for example, il th ■ funds Mre appointniont of to an olHce of liiglier place.

The same principlos as to salary and retiring allowances should, as far as possible, be applied to the other high officers. And the following salaries are suggested : President (when held in connection with a professorship at the full pay of $3,200, and including allowance for house rent, thus keeping the total combined emolument at its present figures) $1,800 Librarian, initial salary 1,000 Rising to 1,500 Registrar for both University and College, (uot including remun- eration for services if employed in counection with the library), initial salary 800 Rising to 1,200 Sursar, initial salary 2,000 Rising to, (from which for the present house room pro- vided $400 should be deduct-d) 3,000 In this connection a letter from the bursar is appended. By letter of 1st April, 1891, the bursar states as follows : — With regard to my salary as bursar : At a meeting of the. Board of T.'usteiis held on 9th January, 1890, (at which all the members were present with the exception of yourself and Mr. A. H. Campbell), the following minute was made : "It is recommended that the bursar's salary be increased from $2,200 to $2,800 a year and that this increase date from 1st January, 1890." This minutf' was subsequently communicated to the Government through the Minister of Education who replied to the effect that the matter had been laid Ijefore Council, but having regard to the great demaTids upon the University funds it was deemed advisable that no increase should be made at present. In addition to my salary of $2,200 I have the house in 8imcoe street le.=^s therooms occupied by the office. I am allowed $100 per annum to cover the cost of heating, gas and attendance. The salaries of this office are now : Myself $2,200 Clerk 400 Boy 1 00 Fuel, etc 100 $2,800 In 1877 to June 30th, (the year of my appointment), the salaries were : l^ursar $2,400 Accountant, etc 1,400 Messenger 400 Fuel 90 $4,290 38 The work has doribled since tlien. I should add SI 30 paid to a gentleman who assisted in keeping the accounts in the evenings. The numi rois sUtements prepared are also done out of office hours by additional assistance For }fMr. I did all this work my- self altogether out of office hours without receiving a penny P ir if, l>iit my health b* came affected by it and the work had to be done by others. Under my supervision my clerk, F. A. Moure, is mo.>t i-iii icnt ; hf^ only receives $400 a yea? ; I think he should be paid a larger salary. When I was appointed bursar the house I occupy was in a in >st. diaoiiUted con- dition, not habitable, and about $1,200 was expended on repairs, to.viud-! which [ paid $400; the building was then the properDy of tiie IJ. 0. Oollegp. T^ikini,' all tl'ings into consideration I think this sum might bo returned to me. Application of thkse Salaries to tub Existing Staff. It is of course distinctly understood that there is no intention of creating .my expectation of increased ronumeration beyond that specified in his oou'.raut, on thi ^jart any existing officer unless and until the time arrives when, in the opinion of (.he executive, the resources and the interests of the institution render proper the consideration of his case, with a view to putting liis name on tiie salary roll for an increase on the conditions as to the retir"menc fund .spjcilied in this report. The following rules may bo laid down : 1. Subject to the special consideration to be stated concerning the retirement fund, no increase of salary should be granted until there arc surplus revenues avai'aljle for the purpose. 2. No revenues should be deemed available for the purpose until the more urgent needs of the institution for additional teaching power as well as for uurront expenditure are provided for. 3. In dealing with individual cases, when the revenues do not admit of meeting all at the same time, reasonable regard* should be had to the view that tlie smaller salaries of the lower grades should be earliest improvec ; and that, in cases of the same grade, the condition of those loiige.st emplosed should be iirst ameliorated. 4. Had the revenues admitted of applying the scale to all the existing cases fully and at once, the principle might be adopted of counting the ioriner years of service of the officer, for the purpose of ascertaining what his position would be in case he hud been appointed at the proposed minimum with the yearly increment ; not, of course, witli i view to any suggestion of arrears ; l)at in order to place him for the future. 5. But, in the condition of the revenues, it may l)e juster and more advantagi'0u.s, so soon as funds allow, to begin a system of yearly increments, thus improving gradually, yet as rapidly as the revenues permit, the position of the various officers. Retirement Fund. The report of the Finance Committer adopted by the Senate on January 13th, 1882, recommended as follows : — " It seems clear that some general equitable plan ought to be adopted, whereby con- tributions should be made by the Profe.ssors and other members of the staff towards a superannuation fund, and the amount of allowan e and conditions of retirement declared. In this connection it would be well to consider how far the Canadian civil service super- annuation system, with such modification as the difference of age on entrance involves, might serve as a basis. It is possible that the plan of reserving a portion of the salary and creating thereout a fund for each pr^^fesscr, bearing interest meantime, and payable, principal and interest, on rstiremont, might be more suitable. In view of the recent increase in the salaries, the present time seems (.sp'scially suitable for the settlement of the question." gentleman who its prepared are 1 this work my- f health bfcame io only receivBH liifiiiiil-ited con- -! which [ paid kiiit; all things f creating; uny ,ct, on t,li i part opinion of (.he er proper the iry roll fur an report. tirenietit fund, 58 available for intil the more IS for current init of meeting at the smaller es of the same lases fully and service of the he h.'ui been course, witli i e. advantageous, 'iug gradual!/, ^anuary 13 th, whereby con- aff towards a nent declared, service super- nce involves, of the salary and payable, lis ( spjc'ally 39 It is greatiy to be rec retted that no steps have been taken to carry out this recom- mendation. Many appointments liavc been made, several salaries have been raised, new increases have become old, and difficulties which some years ajjo impeded the prosperity of the University, pnd expendilun s which it could ill afford, will proV)ably recur in consequence Ol the delay. Furtlier delay will make unit ers worse, and immediate action should now be taken. Althoufdi the appoiiitmints aie during pleasure, and carry no legal ritjht to retiring allowances, still the Univer.sity Ac> deils ])ermissively with the subject ; precedents have been created under that Act ; and. lipiu't from this, general experience teaches that it ia expedient in the case of Goveninicnt mid public institutions to grapple wiiJi ihe question. It is proposed to treat it by estiblisliing, as a condition of the contract of employ- ment, a retirement fund for each ollicer thronj^h the retention of a portion of the sum which would otherwise have been paid n/er to him as remuneration. This sum is to be kept invested and reinvested by the Univer.'-ity with its other funds; and interest at 6 per cent, per annum com|>ounded half-yeiirlv is to be created on the account. To the accumulations at the credit of the account, the officer is to have no claim during his service ; but on his retirement ii^ is to be his ; or on his death in the service it is to go to his familv as he may direct, or, if he have no wife or cliildren, then as he may direct. The charye which the llniiersity undertakes of nmnaginj; the fund, and securing it aV)soliitely, with interest at (i per cent., and without cost to the ollicer, while a great advan- tage to the officer, will be amply repaid to the University by the freedom which the pro- vision will give for dealing promptly with cases of intirmity or incapacity, and by the saving of charges for pensions and allowance.'^. The following rates of reservation are suggi'Sted : For the salary up to .91,000, 5 per cent. being 'fo>- §1,000 850 00 For the part between $1,000 and 81,800, 7i per c-^nt. being for 8800 ." 60 00 being for $1,800 $110 00 For the part part between $1,800 and $2,500, 10 per cent. being for $700 70 00 being for $2.500 $1»0 00 For the part between $2,500 and $3,2C0, 15 per cent. . being for $700 105 00 being for $3,200 $285 00 Application of Regulations for Rktiuk.mknt Fond. it is proposeil that this plan should be compulsory with regard to — 1. AH new appointments. 2, All existing appointments in re.spect of whieli increases of Hilary may be made, .so far as such increases will proviilo the, means of carrying out the plan as to both the existing salary and the increase It is to be observed that the practical working of this provision will be to apply to the retirement fund the whole of the suggested increases in th'- cases of profe.ssors now receiving salaries up to $3,000, and that it will bring the plan into earlier and more general, though not always into entire operation, in numerous existing cases, to the great general advantage. ^f 40 It iH further proposed that all existing appointees shall have the option of taking the full benefit of the plan from the date of its inception. While it is not possible to suggest that the contracts with existing officers shall be altered without their consent by the reservation of any part of the existing; salaries, yet it would be reasonable, in conveying this offer to recent appointees, to intimate that the executive holds itself under no moral, any more than it is under any legal obligation, to propose any provision for retiring allowances out of the general funds for such more recent appointees as do not choose to accept this plan, in so far as it is left to their option. Early Commencement of Plan. As already indicated, a considerable portion of the total increases will be absorbed in the retirement fund ; and it is sugs;ested that in the general interest any such increase (to an extent not exceeding $200)' as would be in the whole or largely so absorbed, should (in order tu admit of the immediate commencement of the operations of the fund, and thus to facilitate a scheme which is regarded as greatly advantageous Lo the University) be made at an early date, irrespective of the condition at this moment of the revenue; out of which this course will involve but a trifling outlay in cash. Our pension list a few years ago stood at $,"),2(30 a year. The sooner we begin to provide against the future the better. Financial Resllts. The financial results of this recommendation would be as follows : — (1) Five Professors. Pre.sent salaries $3,100 00' Increase to maximum 100 00 Total nominal ,«3,200 00 of which the whole 100 00 would be absorbed by the tetireniert fund, leaving the salary actually received by the prufchsir as liefore ...... .$3,100 00" and leaving a balance of §18.5 to be paid into the fund at tlie professor's option.

Apart alto- gether from the (juestion of supervision, the attention of the Senate has been lately directed to the necessity of forming snjaller classes, in order to secure more effective teaching in the departments of Latin, French and German. This proposal to form smaller classes, it appears to your committee, should be extended to all departments where it may be found necessary, and at the same time the experiment should be tried of exercising supervision over the work of the pass classes. With regard to such super- vision, the committee are of opinion that it would be desirable to have it exerciseil in all the Pass subjects of tlie first and second years. Should it be necessary, however, on account of the expense involved, to limit the operation of the scheme, it is recommended that it be applied to the departments of languages, mathematics, and philosophy, as soon as adequate provision can be made for carrying it into effect. On the supposition that such additions to the staff as may be required will be made in these departments, if not in all, the following scheme is proposed, with the recom- mendation that it be applied in the first and second years of the course : 45 Requirements in pasa work in first and necond years. 1. Mtudonts in attendance on lectures are rtqnired to obtain at least 33 per cent, on tlie May examination, lui'l hIso 33 per cent, of the atj^regate numV)er of marks assij,'ned for the May examination ; for work done during the term, and for attendance at lectures, according' to the following; schedule : May examination 100 Term work 30 A I tendance on lectures 20 150 super- ised in 2. Rei)orts oti term work in th(^ department of I'higlish shall be based on the essay written during the session, of which tive shall be reijuired fi'()m each studt^nt. In other departments such reporia shiill he l);ised on those parts of the work which the professor or lecturtT may deem most appropriate as tests of proticiency. The maximum number of marks to be assigned for term work shall bi; 30 ; and no candidate shall be credited with marks below 10. Reports of attendance at pass lectures shall be required in all departments ; and marks for such attendance assigned as follows : For attendance at four-fifths 20 marks. " " two-thirds 13 " " " one-half 7 " The Senate may, fur good and sutlicient reas)ns, excuse non-registered students from attendance at lectujen ; and shall dispense in such cases with the above requirements with regard to term work, except in the case of Englisli. The Senate shall, upon the report of the University or College Council, based upon the recommendati(m of a professor or lecturtir, excuse r(!gistered students from Term work and attendance on h'ctur(^s in iiulividual subjects ; l)aL no exemption shall be allowed in the case of Engli.sh. Candidates in pass subjects shall be arranged m the annual class lists in three grad(!S, A, B, C ; the iHiiiimum for A l)e.ing 75 per cent., and for B, 50 per cent.; all under 50 to be placed in class C. In Older to give t;ome notion of the amount of additional assistance which will be required Ixifore this scheme can be introduced, a number of memoranda from members of the staff are appended. The following analysis of these statements shews what the demands are in several of the departments. 1. Stair in Greek — Prof. Hutton, a Lecturer and a Fellow, being an addition of half the services of a Fellow. 2. Staff in Latin — Mr. Dale, and two instructors, being an addition of a Lecturer and half the services of a Fellow. 3. Staff in French — Mr. Squair, and two instructors, being an addition of a Lecturer and half the services of a Fellow. 4. Staff in German — Same as in French. 5. Staff in Mathematics — Prof. Baker, two Lecturers and a Fellow, being an addition of two Lecturers. 46 It also appears from the anm-xed meinoriinda that uiider this scheuu; tlie numl)Hr of pass Iciitiirc.M in flio depiirtiiient of Greek in llie lirat and srcond years would be ten instead of three as at present. Ill the department of l.atin, the total numher ol lectureH which wuuld be delivered by Mr. Dale and his two assistants would be about thirty. In each of the departments of French and Uerinitn, the total number of lectures per week would be al)Out thirty-four, of which the Fellow would take about six, the remainder beinj,' taken by the lecturer and his tir.st asHistant. All of which is respectfully submitted, February 13, 1891, (Sgd.) J. Loudon. These documents show : (rt) That nearly ten years ago the need for e.vpansicn in tlio teaching stall waa recognized ; (/)) That si.x years ago, on the negotiations for confederation, it was thought neces- sary to lix and secure the stall' for I'niversity t!ollege, which .staff was definitely in- dicated wit'i the important provision that additional a.ssistance should b(^ arranged so that no honor class should exceed 1 2, or pass class :50 ; and that gfua^ral provision was made for an adecjuate University Profcs.'^oriate and tutorial staff ; and ((■) That the University Act gave the force of law to the final form adopted ; and enacted the establishment of a teaching .stitfi" in University College, consisting of a professor, lecturer, and Fellow in each of the .subjects of (Jreek, Latin, French, Ger- man and Vnglish ; a professor and lecturer in Oriental Languages ; and a protessor of ^'oral riiilosophy ; and of a teaching Faculty (not so particularly defined) in the specified bjects to be taught in the University of Toronto. M su The definite and aV)solute provision mado as to the staff of University College is obviously to be explained by the circumstances of confederation ; and it is dillicult to justify, save under the plea of absolute necessity, the delay which has taken place, and which must yet take place, in the fulfilment of the statute. {(/) The report of the Senate committee shows the necessity of further teaching powers. The increase in the number of students, and the changes in, and additions to, the cur- riculum have intensified the need for action. General liecommendaiion. In the interests of the institution the statute .should be complied with as soon as practicable ; and meanwhile temporary provision should be made at the earliest possible moment to fill the gaps. In adopting this course regard should be had, when deciding on the character and order of action, to the comparative as well as the absolute urgency of each case ; for it is impoitant to take account of the degree in which, relatively to each other, the different branches have been recently advanced and made efficient ; so that the progress towards completion may be general on all lines. iuiiil)Hr of 1(1 1)« ten delivereil f iHotures t six, tlu! u'loii. sliill was i^ht iieces- iiitely in- rauf^ed so ^'isiou was jt(;d ; and tin<^ of a iK'ti, Uer- olt'.sHor of e spuoiKed Jollefjc is illicult to jlace, and teaching ), the cur- as soon an t possible acter and ; for it is i diiferent IS towards 47 A conipiirative tahU) of the siiIarioH and oxpendituras on tlie various hivmclies for ten years past will lie at.-t out, and it i.s rut'crrud to as giving important infonn.ition on this subject.

I'OI.R'Y AS TO I.NTKl.AM-; OF YeaIILY ChARGE. Dcfore liroccedinLC to deal wiih spivitic cases it is well to state briefly the tlnancial facts, and to explain the ;j,eneral principles of a'jtion which aie suggr ,u'd as applicable. As alreiuly explained, there is no surplus revenue, and our income will be fully en- gaged, until it is enlarged by the sale or unproductive property, or by increased rents.. The exact period of the creation of a substantial surplus is uncertain, depending as it does on the land nnirket. Hut it is reasonably certain that within a brief space there will be a substantial sur- plus over present expenditure, which surplus will increase till it ultimately reaches at least $50,000 a year. We cannot at this mouK'nt increase our expenditure without drawing on tlie capital of the endowment, a step which only con.^iderations of the gravest and most pressing nature could justify. Any ii mediate expenditure proposed must be judged and limited by this rule. It becomes important then to ascertain, (1) Whether there are any, and what, expenditures which should now be proposed. (2) In what way and on what principle the surplus revenues as they become avail- able should be applied ; and thus at onc(» to avoid the errors inevitable when isolated expenditures are sanctioaed on detached views, and to let those interested know what to expect. iNCREA.sa OF Staff.

This is shown by reference to the curriculum. It is assumed in this connection that honor departments are intended by the Senate to be equivalert to one another. (f) Moreover, the departments', named are fiindament(d as regards the arts course and as regards the training of teachers foi' the higli schools. All students of the arts course are rt^quircd to take Latin, and in most honor (lepartments a knowledge of French and German is demanded.

On the other hand, the subject of Camparative philology is accorded representation, although it does not .ts yet form a recognized por- tion of the arts curriculum, and although it is defined in tr. LTnivei.sity Act (50 Vict., cap. 43, sec. a) as not forming a department by iuself, but only in connection with Ethnolo^v. {b) So fully does the principle of ropiesentation appear to be cirried out, that Litin, French, (German, Italian and .Spanish are the only departnicnls unrepresented, while certain courses in law, under tho ciiarge of occ isional professors, have full representation on the University Council. Ifenccs the position of tho memorialists is that they demand for their departments that rei)reKentation, which, as it appears, has been granted to all other dep.irtinents.

(64 honors plus '21)3 pass), as compared with a total in Greek of 119 (03 honors plus 86 p.iss), in wliich department tliere are one professor and one lecturer assisted by half tin; services of the Olassical bVllow. As compared with other departments, the number in iionor Latin (G4) is considerably larger than that in honor Mathematics and Piiysics (IS), in which there ai(^ two pri)f(?ssors, two lecturers and two Fellows, sonKsvvhat larger than tint in lionor Chemistry and Biology combined •(59), in which there are two professors, one lecturer and two Fellows ; while the number in Pass Latin (293) is considerably larger than in any oth(!r department of the University. In honor French there are ninety-one students, and in honor German ninety-four, numbers far surpassing those in any other honor department, except that ot Knglish {116). 'J'he numljois in honor French and German, in each of which there is but one lecturer assisted by half the services of a Fellow, are one and a half times gre iter than those n honor Greek, nearly twice as large as those in honor Mathematics and Piiy.sics, nearly hree times as large as those in honor Metaphysics, la which there will be, after October I f (52 next, two proffHsorH and n Kcllow, and larger than the nuinlx-M in honor Chomistry, Biolojjy and Minernlopy coinliinod, in wliich theni aro three profnsHOiH, ono lecturer, three FellowH, and other ftHHistants. 'I he nunilicr of Htiulcnts in pass French is 170, and in piss Tiernian 175, nnnihers mnch larger than those in any otlicr pasH Huliject except puss Latin, pass History and pavH Knjjlish.

Moreover, in view of pro- spfctive needs, lh»* attention of the .Senate is directed to the fullowini^ coniparutive statement of the increase or decrease which ha« respectively taken place in various departments in the period covered hy the statistics. The increase in honor Latin lias heen from 4i in ISSO, to HJ in 1890; in pass Latin from IGl to 29.'^ ; as compared with ailecrea.se in pass Clnu-k from l',V2 to feen from 57 to 17", imd in pass (lerman, from ]'^ to 175. In otlnr honor depaitnients the increase has heen much smaller, as for examjile, in honor Mathematics and Physics, an increase from 37 to 18 ; in honor Chemistry, from 21 to .Tl ; in l>ioloi;y, from 21 to 3S,*and soon; while in honor I'hilosophy there has heen a decrease from 5!) to 38. The attention of the Senate is also direct* d to tlie fact that certain changes in the curriculnni will add considerahly to the nnmhers ii\ pass French and (iermaii, to such an extent that within two years there will probably Ix; 2r)0 students m each of these pass subjects. The large amount of work in connection with so many students of such a variety of attainment has already made it necessary to increase the number of lectures per week in French and (lerman to about tw(!nty in each, a number exceeding, it is believed, those given to any other department. The undersigned desire by the above statements and comparisons to direct the attentii n of the 8enate"to the present and prospective needs ot the departments under their caie. They desire al.so to protest respectfully against the expfuiditure of largo sums of money in thi^ tquipnient of other departments, without full consideration of the r((|iiirfm( nts of the departments of Latin, Frendi and (ieinian, which, owing '•" their numerical stieiigth und fundamental impurtance, botli in th(!

To these (33 hours per week) would be added a cartain number of supplementary lectures and hours for the correction of prose, making an average of say seven hours per week. To do this work the present staff must at least be doubled, i.e., instead of one lecturer and half the services of a Fellow, there mmt be at least two fully qualified instructors and a full Fellow. With such a staff it would bo possible to record attend uice and progress in all the classes, until the number of students should bo increased by about .25 per cent., after which additional assistance would be necessary. C. Gkrman. Mr. vanderSmissen, by letter of January Slst, 1891, gives the following statements and tables : the ds of th the I beg to submit herewith for the information of the coinmittet University and University College, a statement of the urgent requirements of department of German. In doing this, i beg to call your attention to the fact that this dei)artment is now under the charge of a lecturer, to whom are also assigned the duties, peculiarly onerous since the fire, of University librarian, and who is assisted by a Fellow, part of whose services are required for anotlier dopiirtment. I submit that tins arrangement is profit- able neither to the interests of the library, nor to those of the department of Uerman, and that I ought to be placed in a po.sition, without diminution of my present very inadequate salary, to devote myself exclusively to the latter as soon as possiljle. 1 have asked for three fully qualified instructors, meaning thereby such instructors as are fit for the rank of lecturer. My reason for tliis is that, owing to the frequent changes in the fellowships, which cannot, according to the statute, be held by the same person for more than three successive years, one year in every three is all but lost, since, in the most favorable case, a new and inexperienced man hfts to be put in charge of certain <;las8es once every three years. In my opinion, the only proper use of fellowships is to encourage post-graduate study, and the Fellow should not be hampered in this by such onerous duties as must at present be assigned to him Jf, however, the funds of the University do not allow of such a staff, two instructors of the capacity I speak of, with a fellow as hitherto employed, might possibly be made to do the necessary work. The figures giving the number of students at present in attendance are taken from the official registration returns in Mr. Laugton's office. 1. Present attendance. „ .

'able amount of •equired for the m of coinposi- 'xerciset and utside of class- The estimate of the number of lectures per week (24 in all) is based on the require- ments of the new curriculum (1891-5), which embraces extensive chanj^es in the courses in Italian and Spanish, and which comes fully into force in these subjects at the befjin- nino of the session 1892-3. The number of lectures requind per week next session (1891-2), of which the work is mainly on the new curriculum, will be 21. The number of lectures given at present is 15 per week. The staff consists at present of one lecturer, with tlit; prospective addition of one-third of the services of the two Modern Langunge Fellows. In order to overtake the work in 1891-2 and afterwards, the present staff (one lecturer) will require to be increased by the addition of a Fellow whose whole time will be give n to Italian and .Spanish. Any consid- erable increase, say 25 to 35 per cent., will render suli(livi.sion of the classes in the lower years necessary, and additional provision for teaching will then be requited. The lectures in Italian and Spanish (as University subjects) are open to students of atiiliated colleges, and hence the number of students in Victoria Coll(>ge ji'-., suing a iModern Language course will have to be taken into account upon the removal of that institution to Toronto. E. — Latin. Mr. Dale with reference to the memorial A 7 asks th" attention of the Committee to the following statements : — 1. Latin, French and German (with English anil ^Mathematics) form the foundation of the hiaher and Collegiate education of the Province. 2. ]""roni ligures for the present session supplic d by the Registrar he finds the follow- ing facts : — (a) Latin, French and CJerman, witli a staff of three lecturers and one and a half Fellows have 1,028 pass and 319 honor. — i.-j.^T tiftendnnces. {b) (ri(!ek, English and Hebrew, the other three departments in University College, with a staff of three professors, two lectur(TS and half the services of a Fellow have but 725 Pass and 283 Honor — 1,00S nttewlances. (c) The subjects included in the Faculty of arts in the University, with a staff of eight or nine professors, three lecturers, and seven Fellows, have but 778 Pass and 557 Honor — 1 ,,3,15 attfjndances, i. e., actually 12 less than the three lecturers in Latin, French and German. It thus appears that the three departments of Latin, French and German have con- siderably over onnUdrd. of the whole numbnr of attentlances in University College and the Faculty of arts combined. He thinks that no fuither statement is necessary to show that these three departments have the justest and strongest claims to the first considera- tion of the (iovernment and the authoiities, and that the steps taken to si.'cure that con- sideration are fully juiitified by the interests of College and University involved therein. 3nal duties. in.

He objects to the numbers in the class lists from 1880 to 1890 as a reliable basis of comparison of the work done, because — (a) They represent those who pass, not those who attend, with whom the teacher is concerned ; he points out that the varying proportion of those who fail is valuable as indicating where there is a lack of teaching free, (6) A single year should not be compared with one other single year ; because one or both may be abnormal ; as were both 1880 and 1800, each of which just preceded the commencement of a new curriculum, (c) The pass lists do not include students from affiliated colleges, whom the Univer sity teaches but doe.s not examine, {d) The new curriculum, i. e. the figures for 1891, should be considered in dealing with each and all of the departments. (e) The year 1890 was abnoruiHl and useless for comparison because (1) There was no professor in th. department, (2) Students in Civil polity (now Political economy) had been counted up to 1890, but then ceased to be so counted ; thus making a difference of at least 15, and account- ing for the decrease in honor Philosophy. (3) There is an increasing number of students from the affiliated colleges taking lectures in the department, at a very low estimate, 15 for 1890 ; these are not counted. (4) The new curriculum makes an enormous difference in the number of pass stu- dents for 1891, shown by the registrar's lists, giving : — Pass in Philosophy, '90 34 'Di '^.'.'^v^'.'^v/.\'^v^'^'.v.'.'. i86 Increase 152 Honor, '90 45 " '91 '.....'.'.'.''.'.'.'.'.'.''.'.'.'.'. .'.'.'.WWW'. 63 Increase 1 y 69 ■ovements in isible for the 7, of 10th nd 1891 as 91. since 1880 75. i80— 1. um. osophy, but eliable basis ;he teacher valuable as jecause one receded the ;he Univer in dealing ip to 1890, d account- iges taking counted. pass 8tu- 34 186 152 45 63 18 3. Ho sufigestH that the time, arowth, and condition of any department is best shown not by comparison with any other department, but by taking the proportion of students in the department to the whole number in the University at the same date, and tliat 1881 and 1891 would be the best years, as they iire those which inaugurated new curricula. 4. While contesting the accuracy of the figures given in the lecturers' memorial, he adds that a very strong case remains for the Modern Language departments as regards representation on the Council, as to which he thinks the lecturers should be admitted to that of the (.'ollege ; and as ret;ards remuneration, as to which he thinks the lecturers should be jiaid at least .$2,000 a year, and that wliatever else is done the salaries of all the lecturers should be increas(!d at once. He adds that if new professorships are created they should be filled after public com- petition only, and certainly not by the hasty appointment of any one. H. ClIKMISTRY. With reference to the lecturers' memorial of 10th January, 1891. Professor Pike observes as follows : — The statistics are misleading so far as the department of Chemistry is concerned, because (a) They contain only a small section of the total number of students to be taught, no account being taken of students of the School of Science and of the Medical Faculty. (6) The University class Hats are no guide to the numbers taught, because they ex- clude tiiose who fail in several subjects, though they may have been the best of the year in some departments ; and because they include students who have not been taught in University College or the University Laboratories. Professor Pike subjoins lists of students actually taught as per registrar's lists con- tinued up to 1887 ; and from reports of the School of Science with comparisons as fol- lows : — Pass Students. 1880. 1881. 1882. 1883. 1884. 1885. 1886. 1887. 1888. 1889. 1890. 1891. 110 114 14 84 11 60 17 51 25 59 35 67 49 "'46' 52 43 140 68 60 131 12 21 145 24 145 122 128 26 95 42 77 30 76 31 94 26 116 48 48 235 47 249 54 58 57 University students.

With referencn to tli<; comparisons and statistics in the Memorial A7, Professor Chapniiin \>y lotted of 2r)th January, 1891, observes that — Tlic iiicinorial much understates tlie number of students attending the department ; no account being taken of the School of Science students in attendance. That instead of 1 13, there are between 220 and 230 students. Pass 140 to 150 Honor studeiit-s taking practical work : Undi'rgrads.

Further, that after lectures, much time is required to re-arrange and put away the specimens and diagrams ; so that each lesson requires at least three hours and each lec- ture two. He does not deny the need of additional assistance in Modern Languages, but .says the chief drudgery in these will be in looking ever and correcting exercises, and that there are many poor French and Germans (male and female) in the city who could be engaged at any slight remuneration to do the work. K. — Biology. With reference to the INIemorial AT, Dr. Macallum by letter dated February 10th, received April 1st, observes : — 1. The statistics hardly yield a fair view. For the last ten years honor work in the department bi^gan in the second year, thus keeping the number of students 40 per cent, less than in the course beginning tlie (irst year. In consequence of the change, the number of honor students has increased by 39 per cent., there being now 62 students in the course as against 21 in 1880. 2. He does not think that the number of pass students given since 1880 is quite correct. According to his memory there were more than two pass students in 1885 when he was examiner in Biology, and he knows that the number of students attending lec- tures lias in each year since 1885 been larger than is stated. This may be accounted for by their not going up for, or passing, their examinations. 3. In each year since 1887 there have been from 110 to 150 medical students, taking pass and honor subjects in Biology and Phy.siology. These are University Students tak- ing the University examinations, but are not mentioned in the tables. 4. There are other factors besides the number of students attending an hour's class ; e.g., the number of hours spent in class work is equally, or far more important, as longer 71 li Professor jepartiuent ; 150 51 28 3 232 112 1.31 amount of n teaching reliminary 'I an liour ourn and away the each lec- , but says that there :;ngaged at ary 10th, k in the cent, less iinber of ■oursie as 18 quite '85 when ling lec- iited for i, taking nts tak- s class ; ' longer hours and students laboratory work are very much more irksome and wearying than giving even four or five lectures during the day. Tlie class hours in French and ( German, stated at 20 hours per week, are doubtless lieavy, but they are less than is necessary in the Biolof^ical department. Tlie laboratory stall are engaged 7 1 hours a week in lec- tures and practical class work, or, excluding the purely medical classes, G6 hours or 22 hours for each member of the staff. This i' exclusive of the time spent in preparing for demonstrations, which takes up every available hour of the day. L. — Political Scienck. With reference to the Lecturer's Memorial A. 7, Professor Ashley observed (a) That it j)resents a strong pr'nud facie claim for additional assistance ; not so much on account of the comparative, as on account of the absolutely large numbers of sladents. (i) That as the work, both pass and honor, for the first and second years, in both French and German, seems from tho Calendar to be of a comparatively elementary char- acter, the necessary assistance miglit best be securer! by the appointment of tutors, as in a plan now before the Senate, without necessarily approving of any other feature of that plan. (c) That, judging merely from the figures, it would seem that additional aid was re- quired in History almost as much as in French or German. (rf) That the memorial, while undoubtedly presenting good reasons for strengthening the teaching staff in Latin, Fre.ich and German, seems to lay undue emphasis on the numbers of students as an indication of the extent of the need. A lecture on the History, of literature, on general political or constitutional History, on Philosophy, on Philology or on the higher Mathematics, may involve more strain on the teacher than two or three hours teaching of elementary grammar, or listening to students translating. Modern Languages. On the 11th April a deputation of the Modern Language Association met the com- mittee, and discusped the subject, and presented the following paper : — The following table shows the teaching staff of the various branches of study in the Faculty of Arts, and also the expenditure for teaching. This table of expenditure does not take into account the very large sums spent on buildings and etjuipment in Physics and Natural Science. SUIUKCT.

Further, the inferiority of status complained nf is not warranted by the position whi( h the.se laii;^ua;(es occupy in the cour.ses of study pit-.scribed in them by the curri- culum of the University. Attention is specially directed to the high character of the course prescribed in honor Modern Langua;,'es. It is believed that this course will compare favora])ly with any other honor course prescribed in the University of Toi'unto both as regards the standard of excellence retpiired, and in the usefulness of the course for purposes of educati(m and culture. The importance of modern language study in the University is still further proved by the f.ict that a knowledge of either French or German is, as ])asH work, demanded of students in (fviny honor department prescribed by tlie curriculum ; so that in this respect these languages are of fundamental importance in the work uf the University. Nor is the inferiority of status warranted by the position in which modern lan- guages occupy in the high .schools and collegiate institutes of Ontario. What has been said as to the fundamental character of the French and German as University studies is also true as regards the work of the secondary schools. In these, French and German are studied by a large and rapidly increasing n\imber of pupils. The aggregate number of pupils in French and Gei.ian is now considerably in excess of the* number in Latin and (Jreek. This fact nuiy be regarded as an index of the high position they now occupy, and of their increasing importance in secondary education in this country. Not only do the reasons given above prove that the inferior status to the modern languages is unwarrantable, but, on the other hand, it was noted that their organization on a par with other branches of learning is provided for in the University Act (.lO Vic. cha^n. 4.3, sees. 5 and 77). It is there expressly stated that in University College French and German shall each be taught by a professor, lecturer, and Fellow, while in the Uni- versity of Toronto the teaching, and the implied organisation of Italian and Spanish as a distinct department is provided for upon the same footing with History, Physics, Mathematics, and other University subjects. What has already been said would, we believe, be good and valid reasons for the re-organization on such a basis as /justice and expediency alike demand ; but an exa- mination of the teaching stall's of the various universities of the United States reveals an additional argument of very great force. We find that the uniform practice there is to afford an honorable status to the languages in question, a status indeed equal to that of Classics. That this is the case, the following table clearly proves : — •* tlir('«> (Icpart- lonor (Icpart- i I'xcocdingly e number of pass Hulijpct lijcots which U's which are 1. tho pofiiHon ly tho curri- ictcr of the courso will of Toronto 10 course for i^'c study in ■r f rcncli or it prencriliod il iinportaiioe modern hin- liat ha8 bf'pu I'l-.'-ity studios French and 'lie Mg^M'cpate i\u- iiuiiibHr position they luH country. o the modern ori,'anization Act (50 Vic. )llt!;,'o French B in the Uni- d Spanisli as jry, Physics, asons for tlie but fin cxa- itates reveals ractice there ced equal to The stiifl's of American univerHities in Glassies and Modern Lan!>uaj,'e8 : P. — Professor; A.

The members of the Modern Language Association regard the present condition of things as highly prejudicial to the interests of modern lam^uage study, not only in the provincial University, but a so in tlv high schools and collegiate institutes of the pro- vince. Owing to the want ol' status ii\ the University, the ailministration of these depurt- ments through the Senate and other governing bodies is largely in the hands of those, who are necessarily ignorant of the circu.. 'stances and wants of branches of study, with the teaching of which they are not directly concerned. It is true that by tho courtesy of the Senate and its comuiittee, the h'cturers in Modern Languages have at times been consulted on matters connected with their work. It is equally true, however, that on various important occasions they have had no opporiunity of presenting their views 76 Very rccfritly, nn i)ii|icrtant niid un<'X|i<'ct('fl cliiuifjoKPriously, ami, wcIm^Hi'VO, irjuriously afli'ctinj,' the Htaii{li>i<: of the modcin lanyuajfPH, wuh timdn in f Im cuiTiiuluiii witlioiit tlio lecturers in these HulijectH luiving lieen invited, or p«!rmitted to presont their side of liio question. Moreover, the "iiliordinate Htatua of the Modern l.(in>{iiaj,'es has a tendency to lead pupils in llie llifih Sdinols, preparing,' for tlie I'nivprsity, to lielievo that those subjects an; of less iniportiince than others in the curriculnni, and tliiit they are unworthy of the same dej;ree of careful and attentive study, as that which must lie },'iven to other siihjects. In conclusion, we would say, that the status t f French and German to day in the TTnivf rnity of Toronto tends to degrade liranches of study generally regarded as essential toliheral culture ; that it is unfair to the very large numbers of students who, jiursuing pass Hnd honor coursis in these langnnges, are denied the lielp of properly remunerated teachers and profe^;.- Knglish.

It may seem that this demand is a large one when compared with the prese»it equipment, but it must be remembered that the department of Latin has not vet been organized, that it is the heaviest and probably one of the most important departments in either College or Univi-rsity, and that it has received probably tlie least encouragement from the authorities of any of the departments in the University. Rt'commendat ion. This evidence makes a case at least as strong for Latin as has been made for French and (lerinan ; and the same observations apply. The ine([uality of strength between Greek and Latin, having regard to all the cond tions, is very marked. It , jipeats that there is .some inti'rchange of work between the members of the two staffs. It is recommended that, pending the improvement of tlie staff in Latin, all possible a.ssistance should be rendered to Latin by the staff in Greek. The following recommendations are made : — First order of urgency — ■ (1) The appointment of a temporary lecturer pending the appointment of a proftissor. (2) The assignment of the Fellow in Greek and Latin to Latin. Second order of urgency — The appointment of a professor. Greek. The evidence on the subject of Greek is as follows : — 1. January 9th, 1891. The memorial of Mr. Keys, lecturer in ICnglish, and Mr. Fairclough, lecturer in Greek, abstracted as No. 3 in the statement of papers under head J). English 2. Professor Hutton, by memorandum of 24th January, 1891, reports on the needs of the departments an follows : — (1) The present staff consists of a professor, a lecturer, and a I'ellow (whose services however are .shared with the department of Latin). (2) The stall, according to the University Federation Act, is to consist oi a professor, a lecturer, and a Fellow in Greek (whose sei vices are to be confined to GreekJ. ['.i) The etHcieney (>'■ the teaching in Greek would be increased up to the attainment of a fair st .dard, were the Act brought into foice ; the present Fellow 80 being engaged almost entirely, as a matter of fact, in teaching Latin. During the present term, e.g., he takes two lectures per week in Greek, and against this the Greek lecturer takes one per week in Latin, and the professor of Greek one per fortnight in Latin ; so that tlie present teaching in (ireek could almost be done without any Fellow at all. The appointment of a Fellow in Greek alone would therefore make more dilFerence than appears at first sight. (4) But if the scheme now under discussion by the Faculty (in accordance with a resolution of the Senate recommending more elaborate supervision, especi- ally of the pass classes) were to be carried out, the departn)ent of Greek would require at onc6 two Fellows at the very least, and strictly and literally three (or even four), if the scheme at present discussed were to be minutely followed. The essential elements of this scheme are the subdivision of the classes so that no class as a rule contain more than 25 or 80 students taking the pass course, or again more than 12 students taking the honor cour.se. Taking as a basis for cal- culation the number of students in Greek to be 90 in pass classes and .'")5 in honor clas.ses (according to the figures recently furnished), and a.ssuming that the more elaborate supervision of the pass work would involve some such scheme of lectures as follows: — No. of L?cturf'8 pnr week Lectures classes of not on Antlmrs to \>iiT week on more than 25. each class. prose. 4 th year ])ass 1 2 1 3rd year pass 1 2 1 2nd year pass " 2 — 4 in all. 1—2 in all. 1st year pass 2 2 — 4 in all. 1 — 2 in all. Then results a total in pass lectures per week of 18 as against present total of o. Assuming that the same thorough supervision is to be extended to the honor work, some such scheme as follows would be rea.sonaole : — No. of Tjectnres per week classes of not on authors to Lecturea more than 12. each class. on prose, etc. 4th i^ea'" honors ..14 2 3rd year lionors ..14 2 2nd yeai- honors . . 2 2 — 4 in all. 2 1st year honors . . 2 2 — 4 in all. 2 Total of honor lectures per week, 24, as against present total of 13. Full total of lectures in Greek (pass and honors) per week, 42, as against present total of 18. (5) The present total of 18 representing, as has been .said in section (3), sub- stantially the work of two men, and 10 lectures per week being taken as a reason- able average fur a professor or lecturer, and o luctures per week for a Fellow, it api ears that, if Fellows are still to be appointed under the present system, i.e., witti leisure for private work, the scheme proposed above would require ht uuce a stvlf of five or six, according to the precise character of the lecturer ; thus, if all the lecturers except the professor and permanent lectuier were to be Fellows, four Fi'Uov/s would l^e required, and the whole staff in Greek would number six. If again, the pei'Uianent stafi" consisted of two professors and a lecturer, two Fellows would be probably sutHcient, and the whole stall" would numbei five. 81 iatin.

(6) So long as the salary of a Fellow is only $503 per annum, I do not think the University can fairly e^k him to lecture for more than five times in the week ; the opportunity . ivate study being one of the attractions which at present enables us to secu. competent men (and in Greek we have had most com- petent men) at a salary so iUadetjuate. (7) The scheme as outlined above, it will be noted, is only calculated to meet the needs of 90 pass students and 65 honor students. Any increase, therefore, in these numbers (and it is probable that the honor students' increase will more than counterbalance any further falling oti' in tV'\ number of pass students), will require great additions to the staff. (8) If I may be permitted to suggest an outline for the remodelling of the Greek staff when opportunity permits, on tlie basis of the scheme above, 1 should recommend some such organization as the following ; — (1) One professor of Greek literature, (2) " " history and philosophy, (3) One associate professor of Greek literature, (4) Two Fellows in (Jreek, if passible paid a higlier salary, (^SOO), and prepared to give rather a larger part of their time to teaching tlian at present. In other words the running e.Kponses of the department would be increased from soine $4,750 per annum as at present, to st)me 8!>,700. (10) 1 do not pi'eseiit this scheme with any idea that it is at present practi- cable, but on the understandinir that what is askeil of the Facultv is a statement of the recommendations each professor would make, were the University's rev- enues sufficient for all the reasonable purposes of his department. With reference to the memorial A. 7, Professor Hutton, adverting to the para- graph as to the probable elFect of certain changes in the curriculum, states that ho supposes this to mean, among other things, that tliese changes are calculated to lead to an abnormal and sudtlen rush of pass sfadents into French and German. He is nou' convinced that this is the case, and that the principal causa therefor is the discrimination against pass Greek to which he is directing the attention of the Senate. Recommendafion. The foUowinsx recommendation is made : Second order of urgency. — The appointment of a Fellow. It is recommended that the further consideration of this branch be post- poned. V to the 11 'u'istrar for the information English. The evidence on the subject of English is as follows 1. November 7th, 1«90. The letter of Professor Alexan of the above Coiiunittee, stating tliat the individual instruction ni'edl'ul for the pass .students of the first and second years reipiires a division of existing classes into sections of not more than 30 students each ; that this, with i)resent numbers, recjuires !) additional hours of teaching weekly; that in bSl)2-3 under the new curriculum three or four hours of additional teaching in the higher years would be required, and that the addition of a Fellow to the present Knglish staff would enable this work to be covered. Fui'ther stM,ting that there; is gieat need of more practical instruction in Knglish composition ; that inider the present system, by 6 (u) 82 which tlio University takos no account, save through examinations, of the work done (hiring the session, it is impossible to get students to do inucli in the actual writing ot" essays ; tluit it is liighly desiralile that students should be re(]uired to wi'ite a crtain numbi;r of essays each session, the proper examination and ci'iticism of which would involve a huge amount of time and ai'duous work not to be satistkctoi'ily pei'fonued by a Fellow : and that the addition of a lecturer who would take charge of this department is needful, if the University is to make provision for the proper study of composition. 2. The general i-eport of the above-mentioned Senate Committee as above stated. ;i January 9th, 1891. . The memorial of .Mr. Keys, lecturer in Knglisli, and Mr. Fairclough, lec- turer m (ii'eek and Grecian ' i istory, representing that their present remuneration, Sl.nOO a year, is wholly insuriicient to enable them to live in a manner becomin<>- their position; still less is it sufficient to provide them with books and a])paratus ni.'cessary for their work ; that its inadequjicy is i)est shown by a comparison with the salaries paid to the teachers in some of the '{'oronto Schools, which will show that the salaries ]iaid to assistant masters in the Collegiate Institute and to tlie teacheis of some of tin; public scliools are equal to theirs, and that at least on(i assistant master is ])aid considerably more ; and further, representing that their work being professional, their salaries should be greater than those of public schfiol teachers, and at lt;a.Nt as high as tliose of head masters in collegiate institutes ; and praying, in view of representations made by other leeturi^rs, for equal consideration. 4. November 2!ith, 1890. Letter of Mi". Keys to the Chancellor representing that as the claim of certain sub-departments for representation in the University Councils is being pressed, that of th.. sub-depai'tment of English philology should be considered, and pointing out : (1) That philology is the sole work in second yeai- pass English, Anglo-Saxon is re(iuircd of all honoi' students througliout, and Cotliic forms an important part of the fourth year honor work. (li) 'J'hat jihilology is obligatory on all pass students, and the honor course in English is the most popular, the attendance in honor lectures alone being about 150. (•'5) Th t at Oxford and C.-uubridge there are separate profe.ssorships of Angio-Snxcn ; in Harvard and Johns Hopkins there are associate professors of xiUglo-Saxon and old English : that at Yale, C()Iumbia. Cornell and Ann Arbor there av sejjarate chairs for literature and language. (4) That there is a practical autonomy, the instruction in philology being Ml 'rusted wholly to the lecturer, and the teaching in Anglo-Saxon ami Gothic being as distinct fi'om that in hterature as the teaching in ph3-siology from that in biology. 5. November 29th, 1889. Letter of Professur Alexander to the Chancellor suggesting that the sub- department of English language ha-; similar claims to those advanced in other sub-departments for more. distinct recognition and more adequate representation, referring to his inaugural address of ()ctober 12th, 1889, as indicating his view that the subjects of language and literature were distinct, and that there .should be a chair for linguage ; and expressing the opinion that the time had now arrived for action, concui-ring in Mr. Keys' letter, and stating that at present Mr. Keys has the whole of the philological side oi' the department. 8S 3, of the work |i in the actual |)o required to |iiiiiiiiti()n ami [oils work not of a ]ectui-c!i' Mtyi.s to make Ittee as above ircIouM-h, lec- ■emiiiieration, nt;r hecomino- :in(l apparatus nparisou with ich will show fce and to the t at least one 111? tJiat their )se of pul)lic in collegiate leeturri's, for the claim of ncils is beini,' •e codsideret'h Ano-lo-Saxoti iportaiit part Dor eouise in being about ssorshi|)s of professors of 1 Ann Arbor ology being and' Gothic y from that .t the sub- 'd in other resentation, ig his view lere should ! had now at present 6.

Mr. Keys states as follows : In presenting a statement of the work done in Englisli, Philology and Rhetoric, the department under my care, a few words of explanation are neces.sary. By the arrangement agi'eed upon by I'rofessor Alexander and iny,self at the time of his appointment, as to a permanent ilivision of labor between us, the language fell to my share. Sueli a divi.sion of labor rendered possible a more systematic study of the hij^tory of the language in connection with the reading of Anglo-Saxon and Middle P^nglish texts. The importance of this work lias been n peat"dly referred to by the President, and it is gratifying to know that at last our coui'se may challenge comparison in this respect with those of the best American and Geinian universities.

Professor Baker states as follows : — (ii) The department would receive an e([uipment commensurate with its present niM)ds by the addition of two lecturers to the present staff of a professor and a Fellow. (/») One lecturer and an additional Fellow would bo in part satisfactory. (c) This increase in teaching power would make a division of classes po.-. ,ll/le, afford closer supervision of the stiident's work, and make more etlicicut the means from time to time employed for adding to th(! usefulness of the de])artment. (d) The fundamental character of mathematical students in the educational system, and the fact that the high school teachers receive their training in the Univei'sity, involving an intinuitc? relation between [Jniversity and high school Avork, make the effective management of this department, in important respects, of greater conse([uence than labor in departments not so closely connected with the systeni of secondary education.

By letter of April i:kh, 18!il, Professor Baker states as follows: — ■ My salary as professor of Mathematics is S'lOO a year h.-ssthan that of others of the stafi'occupying corresponding positions. The importance of my de|»artment, the full attendance at my lectures, and the success of my students a,t other uni- versities and elsewhere, only make me the more painfully alive to the unfairness of this discrimination. My retention of the olHce of Dean may be regarded as a compensation. To this latter otHce, however, no salary attaches, and the rooms I occupy with dining-hall board is no eipiivalent for the services I render. I wish however you should know that while, as in tliepast, willing to do all in my power for University iiitcrests, I au) not solicitous to continue to hold the otHce of Dean. Such double duties can hardly be to the advantage of my department. They necessarily draw my attention from )ny subjects. Tney also ] ire vent me from engaging in important collateral studies. Thus this yi'ar I was anxious to get away early to Germany, to be ndvantageoush' placed and entirely free to extend my acquaintance with the language, but my eoniieetion with the Residence makes my going very dtmbtful, 1 therefore respectfully urge that 1 be not discriminated against in the mat- iter of salary ; and that I be relieved of the otlice of Dean. 88 Rccovirneii^ ^Nredicine.)

Better from Professor Wright to the registrar, stating that he assumi's that his request for information as to the nio.st pr sssing require- ments refers only to the Faculty of Arts; and on that a.ssumption replies by pointing out the division of the work thus : — (1.) General bioh)gy. (2.) Animal morphology. (.S.) Animal physiology. (4.) Vegetable morphology. (5.) Vegetable physiology. That (1) and (2) are provided by himself, and (3) by Dr. MacCallum, the lecturer ; but there is no provision for b(jtanical teaching more advanced than that contained in Number 1. That the changes in circumstances include more practical work and the use of five afternoons in each week by the elementary fir.st and second year classes, that the Fellow's time is fully engrossed, and^^the professor has himself to give much more time than before to those classes. That therefore increased provision should lie made for the teaching of botany in the university. !i IMAGE EVALUATION TEST TARGET (MT-3) 1.0 I.I 11.25 tt&M2A 12.5 itt Ui2 |22 ^ "^ IM ■0 lilies u .. ^>>' (9 v: / "^^ w w Hiotographic Sciences Corporation 23 WIST MAIN STRliT WfiBSTER.N.Y.

That lie has left out of consi ? t Political Science. The evidence on this subject is as follows : — 1. Professor Ashley, by letter of 23rd January, refers the committee, on the question of further assistance in the legal branch to the professors in that branch. He points out that the present arrangement can only be a temporary one, and lai-ge ',« <" ;> t 91 that soon either an afklitional lecturer must be appointed for one of the three subjects now assigned to Professor Proult'oot, or some arrangtnnent must be made by which Professor Proudfoot can give greater assistance in the English law; 2. Professor Ashley in answer to the committee, suggests as desirable addi- tions to this depiii'tment — (a) Within a couple of years a short elementary course of lectures on Com- mercial law. Mr. Lash has delivered four lectures in each of th'e last two years ; the men are very grateful. The subject h;is no distinct place on the curriculum; nor perhaps would it be desirable that it should ever be compulsL.y for any arts student. But it would very suitabl}'^ form part of a .short commercial course, should such be instituted as in Ualhousio and some other universities. Professor Ashley is now considering in conference with bankers, how the University may be placed more closely in contact with the commercial professions, especially bulking; and this would probably be an important element of any scheme. For S500 probably, some distinguished lawyer might give a course of fifteen lectures which would suffice. {h) In four or five years time it will be expedient to create a lectureship in Constitutional history with special regard to Canada and the United States. The fields of Economics and Finance are wide enough for one professor, and though a Fellow has recently been appointe 1 with reference to constitutional his- tory, yet in the time named the situation will be ripe for the appointmeat of a lecturer, beginning at SI, 000 Recomme ndation. It is recommended that the consideration of this crranch be postponed. Oriental Languages, The evidence on this head is as follows : — 1. Professor McCurdy, by letter of 21st February, 1891, states that : (1) It seems absolutely necessary that he should have some assistance. It is not so much a question whether he should be relieved from excessive toil, as whether the work can be properly carried on. At present he has to lecture three or four hours a day ; and even when thus going to the utmost limits of his capacity is compelled to slight some of the cla'^ses and certain parts of the work. \V) He thinks, in fairness, his salary should be raised without delay to a living standard. Since 1888 he has been serving as full professor on an allow- ance of but !S2,000 a year. This is S500 less than the recognized minimum, and that minimum is received by only one member of the statt. He has, especially of late, felt this discrimination to be extremely unjust and oppressive. 92 (3) The number of students i.s now over 70 ; much beyond any previous year.

The following recommendation is made. First order of urgency : the temporary appointment of a Fellow pending the appointment of a lecturer. Second order of urgency : the appointment of a lecturer. LinUAHIAN. Reference to " A " Modern Laiiijuages urderthe head of CJorman, will show that from a departmental point of view the appointment of a librarian is in the first order of urgency. This appointment is also in the same order in view of the condition of the library. The books are now being collected and catalogued, and the whole lime of a competent man is recjuired; under the new system the library will be much more largely used than bct'oie, and its usefulness will greatly depend on the knowledge and eilieiency of the libraiian, who should grow up with the library. It is recommended that a librarian be appointed. Oenku.vl Result of Rkcommkndation.s. Tlie general result of these recommendations, grouped in the order of urgency, is as follows : — First Ori/cr of Urgency. Minimum initial salary. French, temporary lecturer §S()L) German (transfer of entire services of present lecturer from libravy to German, cost charged to German) 1,000 German, temporary lecturer iSOO Italian and Spani.sh, fellow 500 Latin, temporary lecturer 800 Latin, assignment of half fellow, Greek and Latin Physics, a.ssistant demon.strator 700 Mathematics, fellow 500 Chemistry, provision for yearly increase to lemonstrator. . 100 Oriental languages, temporary fellow 500 Librarian (necessary in order to transfer of lecturer to German, cost charged to German) Total S5,700 Second Order of Urgency.

The minimum relief, even assuminf,' the appointments to be all made during the next financial year, will be as follows : — French, temporary lecturer $900 German " " 900 Latin " " 900 Oriental languages, temporary feh.)W 500 Total S3,200 Thus reilucing the total addition of charge in tlie second order of urgency to $7,700. Hut it maybe thought expedient by the Executive, either with a view to earlier action than the condition of the funds will otherwise allow, or from other considerations alli-cting the tilling of the jhairs, to appoint in one or more cases to associate professorships. In case any of the chairs are so filled, the balance of S7,7U0 will be further reduced by the difference of salary between a professor and an associate professor, being S7()() for ea';h chair so filled, making a further possible reduction in charge of 82,100, which would bring down the initial charge to S'»,000. And in case it is thought expedient by the Executive to appoint any present lecturer to a chair, the balance would be redueeil by the difference between tlie salary of such lecturer and that of tlie temporary lecturer, making at present 8700 for each chair so filled, Third Order of Urgency. Minimum initial nalary. Italian and Spanish, professor $2,5U0 Probable Time for Action. These figures show the probability that our finances will admit of the cases in the first order of urgency, including therein the establishment of the retirement fund, being dealt with during the next financial year ; and of the remainder being disposed of perhaps in part drring the same year, and at any rate soon after. Deferred Claims. It is proposed that the deferred claims .should be taken up and dealt with comprehensively as soon as the condition of the finances gives a prospect of their being met. Clerks, Assistants and Servants. It is recommended that these cases, which are not numerous or comparatively important to the University, but which are of consequence to the individuals, and should be regulated, be taken up by the authorities for inquiry and action ; as they are not conceived to fall within the scope of this reference.
