REPORT OF THE COUNCIL, 1936-37 



XXV 



appliances has as yet been proposed. On the suggestion of Miss Saunders, 

 of Goldsmiths' College, the Committee asked a number of heads of depart- 

 ments in London colleges whether the fitting-up of the old farm buildings 

 for laboratory purposes would be likely to be of use to students engaged in 

 field-work in the district or for any other such purpose ; but the response 

 was not such as to justify the Committee in pursuing this possibility further 

 for the present.
