Governor in Council,

23.-(1) The Governor in Council at all times, in his Temporary discretion, may reverse any decision or act of the Court, power of Council, Senate, Boards of Faculties or Finance Com- mittee, and may for all intents and purposes whatsoever substitute his own decision or act therefor, and may make any appointment contemplated by the principal Ordinance as amended by this Ordinance, or contem- plated by the Statutes of the University, notwithstanding the absence of any nomination to the office in question.

(2) It shall be lawful for the Governor in Council at any time to suspend wholly or in part the operation of this section, or to declare that this section shall be repealed wholly or in part.

Objects and Reasons.

1. The object of this bill is to carry out the recom- mendations of the recent Commission and the decisions of the Government, thereon.

2. Clause 2.-It seems unnecessary to have two titles for the one officer.

3. Clause 3-It is considered that in the absence of the Governor the Officer Administering the Government should be Pro-Chancellor and that there is no necessity for any Pro-Chancellor except during the absence of the Governor.

4. Clause 4.-(a) The term "Principal" is omitted, for the reason given above.

(b) Consultation with the Senate on the question of the nomination of the Vice-Chancellor seems unneces- sary as academic interests are fully represented on the Council. It is therefore proposed that the Vice-Chan- cellor shall be appointed by the Court upon the nomina- tion of the Council, without requiring "consultation with the Senate ". At least five members will be com- mon to the two bodies, four of these five being officers of the University.
