[BURWAsii] A REVIEW OF THE UNIVERSI'I Y OF TORONTO 81 



3. A perfect equality l)etwecn University College and the other 

 Arts colleges of the nniversity. Tliis was specifically defined to include 

 separate buildings and a separate principal or head. 



4. Suggestions for a better representation in peii^etuity of the 

 colleges in the University senate both ex officio and through the 

 graduates. 



The points on which an amendment of ihe scheme was sought by 

 the Board of Eegents of Victoria were very similar. The Board expressed 

 its willingness on educational and patriotic grounds to join in such a 

 federation and to move the proper authorities of our church thereto as 

 they may determine, provided the following conditions are made: 



1. Equitable compensation to all colleges united in the federation 

 for the losses incident to their entering the federation. 



2. The perfect equality of all colleges, University College included 

 in their relations to and rights in the provincial university. 



3. Such an arrangement as shall secure to the Alumni of all the 

 colleges an equitable representation in perpetuity. 



4. That the chairman of the university professoriate be appointed 

 by the government. 



5. That the transfer of subjects from the University College course 

 to the course under the university professoriate, or vice versa shall be 

 made only by a three fourths majority of the Senate." 



The Senate of the University of Toronto expressed its general con- 

 currence in the scheme, its willingness to cooperate to make it a success 

 and recommended that the necessary legislation be introduced to give 

 it eifect. It also called attention to "the necessity of increasing the 

 financial resources of the university in order to carrying out the confed- 

 eration plan.'' 



The Senate of Knox College also expressed its approval of the plan, 

 its desire that both the University and University College be maintained 

 in full efficiency, and its "hope that the Government will be prepared 

 to deal equitably with any colleges or universities in the matter of pecu- 

 niary loss necessarily incurred in order to take advantage of the scheme 

 of confederation." 



It is a fact worthy of note that the findings of all these various 

 bodies with interests so diverse and independent of each other are 

 united in their approval of the general principle of federation ; and it 

 is scarcely less remarkable that the two imiversities which have since 

 entered agreed so closely in their judgment of the particular defects of 

 the plan submitted. 



Xotwithstanding this remarkable agreement, the plan of federation 

 as thus proposed would probably have been dropped at this point but
