PLANS FOR EXPANSION.

Mr. Sharp continued:-This brings me to the plans for expansion to which the Vice-Chancellor has refert ed. As is shown by the untract which read from the Commission's report it considered future expansion essential if the University in to fulfil its proper functions, and rise to its opportunities. The very troubles which called the Commission into being sprang front the fact that the University had given rein to ambitions and aspirations beyond its present financial means. And it would be a sad thing for the University if it had not these larger ambitions and aspirations. But auch expansions cannot be carried out by running into debt. Funds are needed, and will doubtless be fortherøing in time: it is a qucation of time, which all who are interested in the University desire to hasten. The Government bos, for the present, done ita part. Further money must come from the rumblic, Chinese and European, and I bave no doubt it will Preparing in advance a more or less definite chemic of future expansion (which I under- stand is now being done) has this practical advantage: that it shows intending donors, how they can, if they wish, select some particular oljest which specially assists the University or specially interests them selves, and earmark their gifts to that object.
