The government of the Province had granted the annual rental of the new building asked for.

The Board of the University, by resolution, agreed to consider carefully the proposal of the School of Mining, as set forth in the resolution of its Governors and the Building Committee, with the addition of the Chairman, was to take such action as might be deemed advisable.

The pressure for more room was becoming general. The next call came from the Medical Department, asking that the building occupied by it be enlarged at a cost of about $10,000, building arrangements and management to be mutually agreed upon by the University and the Medical Faculty. Terms were accepted.

After careful consideration of the proposal of the School of Mining, as to the building required, the Board instructed the Finance Committee, with the addition of Professor Dupuis and Goodwin, to proceed with the enlargement of said building, on the terms set forth in their resolutions.
