Professor N.F. Dupuis, Mr. A.P. Knight, and the Revd J.C.
Smith, were introduced to the Board, and presented the
following Resolution;

"This Council is of the opinion, that in order to secure
the thorough efficiency of the University, it will be necessary
to raise a sum of $150,000 for the following objects among
others:

1. The erection of additional buildings, the present
accommodation being utterly inadequate. For this purpose
about $30,000 will be required.

2. The endowment of a new Chair in Theology, requiring
$30,000.

3. An endowment of $30,000 to make up the expected
withdrawal of the grant from the Colonial Committee of
the Church of Scotland,

4. An endowment of $40,000 for the Establishment
of a Chair in Science, and to provide Assistants in
the Faculty of Arts.

5. The extension of the Library and Museum, and
the providing of Scientific Apparatus requiring about
$20,000."
