49. We have given much consideration to recommendations which have been put before us. (both from inside and outside the University) that the clinical Professors and the Medical teach- ing staff of the University should be Government servants, i.e., members of the Government Medical Service whose duties would be mainly professional.
51. Although we make no detailed recom- mendation, we consider that economy would result to either Government or University by the amalgamation of the University School of Patho- logy and the Government Bacteriological In- stitute, and we see no insuperable objection to this fusion. A further amalgamation deserving of close study is between the Biology Department and the Government's Botanical Department.
(a) The Senate agrees that economy might well result from some re-distribution of the work at present being done by the Government Bacteriological Institute and the University's Department of Pathology. A memorandum has already been drafted on the University aspect of this problem, but it is felt that no further step can be taken until the views of the Government are known.
(b) The Senate endorses the suggested co- ordination of the work of the Government Botanical and Forestry Department with that of the Biology Department of the University, if such co-ordination can be accomplished without any loss of efficiency.
(a) Resolved that the Council is of opinion that more effective use of existing facilities could be made if the staffs of the University Depart- ment of Pathology and the Government Bacterio- logical Institute were organised to work in co- operation.
(b) that the Council is of opinion that it would be economical and advantageous if the Biology Department of the University and the Government Botanical and Forestry Department were organised to work in co-operation.
(c) that the Council is of opinion that if Government should decide at any time to estab- lish a Department of Zoology, it would be in the interests of all concerned if arrangements could be made with Government for the head of such department to be employed to teach Zoology at the University.
