The Medical Faculties had for some year previously occupied a portion of the building on the Summerhill grounds along with the Faculties in Arts and Theology. The inconveniences, however, of the want of sufficient room for all, and of already overcrowded classes, were so strongly felt, that, in 1858, the Trustees, as has been already stated, took the necessary steps for the erection of another building in the rear with larger rooms for the Classes in Arts and Medicine, and a Convocation Hall, the Theological Classes together with the Library continuing to be accomodated in the central Edifice as formerly. The new Building was first opened at the meeting of Convocation at the close of the Session 1858-59, and

was completed at a cost out of the Capital of the College of nearly $10, 000. A part of the Parliamentary grant to the Medical Faculty was applied to pay for the accomodation thus provided for them their share of the interest on this Expenditure.
The correspondence entered into by Dr. Cook at the request of the Trustees already referred to resulted in the recommendation of two Ministers of the Church of Scotland, one by the Colonial Committee, and the other by Principal Hill, but, further information being deemed necessary in a matter of such paramount importance to the prosperity of the College, the Board, on 29th June 1859, appointed a Deputation, consisting of the Reds Drs. Cook and Barclay, and Mr. Alexr Morris to proceed to Scotland to confere with the Colonial Committee, and other prominent members of the Parent Church, in order to obtain a Principal in all respects suited to the circumstances and wants of the College, and of the Church in Canada.
