The London Committee. We recommend that this
committee be relieved from the selection of candidates for University appointments; an important expert duty for which by its constitution it is unfitted, and which it has no facilities to perform, and from which we understand it has expressed a wish to be discharged. And we recommend that enquiry be made whether the Selection Committee of the English Board of Education would undertake this work, in consultation with members of the staff who may be at home;or alternatively that the Council consider the formation of a special Selection Committee in England for the University.
We find that members of the staff have been engaged by the London Committee upon letters stating only the post and salary and period of appointment, without their being aware of the University's ordinary form of Agreement; and that upon their arrival here they have refused to sign this Agreement or accept its terms. We recommend that the Agreements of members of the staff engaged in England be
executed there.
These and various other recommendations appear
in our proposed amendments to the Ordinance.

With this in view, the Univer- sity must, of course, first be placed on a business footing; and we consider that, without impairing its efficiency, some specific economies can be made.
