available, und if the income from fees cannot be increased to the extent envisaged, the University might find itself trying to meet a wide programme of expansion with the resources at present available and no more; a position of having under- taken everything and being unable to carry anything through. Our inclination would be to suggest that the £250,000 grant from H.M.G. should be used for the most urgent of the five individual projecta shown in paragraph 13 of your despatch, and perhaps also in part for rehabilitation work (your paragraph 2 estime tea that rehabilitation work costing some $5,000,000 remains to be done in which case some of the University's other resources would be released to meet ordinary recurrent expand- iture; and that an alternative plan to the one in your despatch should be worked out before the visit of the Inter-University Council delegation (without prejudice, of course, to consideration of the present plan) to meet the above possibilities. This would naturally involve striking a balence between the full plans for building and the full numbers of staff recommended to arrive at a reduced, but still well-balanced, scheme for the University as a whole.
