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.

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
