When, however, as I said in the

3rd. paragraph above the stage had been reached at which

it appeared reasonable to assume that the sum required

would be obtained, I appointed a Sub-Committee to discuss

the design with Mr. Mody's Architect. Protracted discussions

and revisions have since taken place, and the Committee

eventually submitted a report in which they recorded their

opinion that the original plans were altogether in-

-adequate and they submitted a greatly enlarged design.

This was in part due to the inclusion of accommodation for

a third degree - that of Arte in addition to the two

faculties of Medicine and Engineering originally provided

for, and in part to a much more extended scheme of lecture

rooms, laboratories, and workshops &c., a larger

for

number of students. This larger design was further in-

-creased in cost by the inclusion of a large playing

field which involves a high retaining wall and much levell-

-ing, as well as of houses for the Principal and for the

Professors. It was moreover considered by the Sub-Committee

that the residential quarters for the students should not

be included in the University buildings, and that separate

quarters should be built for them. These quarters are not

included in the buildings which Mr. Mody has undertaken to

erect
