students from China are to use the increased facilities

which the Committee recommend, a generous provision of

scholarships will be necessary. As a start they recommend that an attempt should be made to raise a fund of $28,000 annually to maintain a comprehensive scheme of scholarships for graduates and undergraduates from China, and they hope that Chinese and Imperial interests would be willing to

co-operate.

The final scheme envisaged would provide for

an average number of 56 scholarships a year at a total cost of $68,000, of which about $40,000 would be the University '£

own contribution. The Council decided that the Chinese

Government might be asked to co-operate and that an appeal should be made to the Secretary of State for a capital

grant for the purpose of endowing a studentship or fellow- ship fund.

As added attractions the Committee also recomend

that the Government should be approached to provide more athletic grounds, and that, with a view to cheapening the

cost of University education which the Committee were con- cerned to find so high, experiments might be made with student controlled messing and with dormitory in place of

single room accommodation of students.

Chapter XI.

One of the chief recommendations made in this

Report is that, in order to allow of proper development,

the question of the transfer of the University to a larger

site outside the town should immediately be taken into

consideration
