called to the chair of the first meeting and a
frank interchange of opinion took place with
regard to the government of the Theological College
which would be constituted by the separation of
the Faculty of Theology from the University, its
local habitation, name, and endowment: and
with regard to the justice of the claim which
the University had upon the government for
financial assistance in doing its work, now that -
with the consent of all parties concerned - it
would be undenominational. All present were
agreed that the claim for Provincial aid was
explicit and that the objections urged against
such Governmental action could not be sustained
by a national consideration of the present condition
of higher education in the Province. The
meeting broke up at 10.30 PM., after the
chairman of Trustees, the Chancellor and
the Principal had thanked the Committee,
and especially the Convener, for their sympathetic
attitude and the assistance they had
given to a settlement of the question.

On the following day, the Principal had
an interview with the Premier, to ascertain his
views regarding the question and the
probable policy of the Government.
