dations of students in the university. The council consists of the Pre- 

 sident of the university, the deans of faculties, heads of colleges, and 

 the senior professors in each department of instruction of the univer- 

 sity faculties, and the librarian. 



To the president of the university is assigned supervision of the 

 entire work of instruction in the university. He is given large powers 

 over all assistants and servants, and is responsible for the safekeeping 

 and proper nse of the property of the university. He has power to make 

 arrangements for all matters regarding instruction and examinations not 

 otherwise provided for, and reports annually to the Lieutenant-Gover- 

 nor-in-Council on the state of the university making such suggestions 

 and recommendations as he may deem expedient. The appointment of 

 professors and other instructors is also made upon his recommendation. 

 Similar powers are given to the council of University College. The col- 

 lege is now placed under its own separate principal with powers within 

 his own college similar to those exercised by the president in the imi- 

 versity. The other colleges are governed each according to the terms of 

 its own charter. 



The Act of 1901 also prepared tlie way for the entrance of Trinity 

 University into federation, the last sixteen sections of the act making 

 special provisions for that purpose. Several of the most important 

 objections of Trinity were now removed and on other matters power 

 was given to the trustees, the Senate and the Lieutenant-Governor-in- 

 Council to enter into an agreement with Trinit}' as to terms of federa- 

 tion. Special provision was also made to secure the rights of graduates 

 and undergraduates of Trinity, and, in lieu of compensation for loss by 

 removal, a site was secured to Trinity in the university park and, where 

 necessary, university lectures were duplicated for the students of Tri- 

 nity in the buildings of Trinity College. ISTegotiations under these pro- 

 visions were conducted during the year 1902 and an agreement submit- 

 ted to the Corporation of Trinity University June 25th, 1903, and sub- 

 sequently ratified by 'the Senate of the University of Toronto, and 

 approved by the Lieutenant-Governor-in-Council. 



Some of the articles of agreement affect Trinity alone and are of 

 interest only as indicating the advance in liberality since 188-1. But 

 three of them mark a new stage in the progress of federation principles 

 and involve a permanent change in the administration of the university. 

 These are: — 



1. A scheme of practical separation of finance-; as between the uni- 

 versity and University College. 



2. The granting of all the colleges an equal status in the common 

 university calendar and if necessary a complete separation of college
