The Central Office is hopelessly understaffed to

cope with the existing work and there is grave danger in this,

cspecially in connection with the University's investments and

the control of its varied finances. Unless a constant eye is

kept on the mortgages, the University is liable to lose in ccm 2.

The following staff is essential and will become more urgently

SO even if the expansion of the University oe practically con-

fined to the establishment of a Chinese Faculty and the instruct-

ion of additional students. Any additional scholarships involve

heavy office work.

1.

A Registrar.

2.

A bursar.

3.

in accountant.

4.

A bookkeeper.

5.

6.

8.

A stenographer at the disposal entirely of the Registrar.

A files record clerk.

A full time secretary for the Vice-Chancellor.

An examination clerk.

The bursar's salary must be calculated at $6,000 a year.

The bookkeeper's at $3.000 a year.

The file record clerk at $1,800 a year.

The examination clerk at $1,800 a year.

The Vice-Chancellor's secretary at $6,000 a year.

In order to retain a quite efficient stenographer

now employed in the office it will be necessary to raise his

pay from 180. a month to $250. This represents an additional

annual outlay of $840. The total annual cost of these improve-

ments would ve $11,640. which represents a capital sum of

$200,000 to cover passages and superannuation.
