assist in paying the salaries and other expenses of this
department.

As regards the appointments to the Faculty

were expressed, but there was not time to come to a
conclusion - Whether as in McGill the Faculty should

dismiss was not decided. The matter however, was
discussed in a most friendly spirit, and the only objects
kept in view were the honour of the University,
the welfare of the Faculty and the best
