quoting words used by Sir Frederick Lugard at the opening of the University. He said:-

"When the petty questions which necessarily

occupy our time and thoughts in the busy curriculum of the day's work are swept into oblivion, when new objects of interest arise for a new generation, this building shall stand, and its purpose has a boundless

horizon and is founded on motives and principles which neither pass nor die."

In conclusion we beg to request that a copy of our memorandum be attached to the Report of the University (1937) Committee for purposes of record, and that the Registrar be instructed to forward a copy to each member of the Court and to the Secretary of State for Colonies.
