spirit of the founders' intentions would be seen elbeleeny
complied with, if a careful revision were made of Ile ear
totes sad regulations framed to govern the iellit
with reference to present and future wants and seshileill4
usefulness. The same remark may be applied to soma of
the university scholarships and other endowments. It is
believed that in some of the cases referred to an act of the
legislature would be required to enable the Uni-
versity in conjunction with the trustees or other
persons interested to make the desired alterations;
and even in eases where the authority of her
Majesty's courts of equity would be sufficient, • great ad-
vantage would be gained, if an opportunity were given of
accomplishing by less expensive and more expeditious
means an object involving the consideration of a multipli-
city of details. The syndicate are encouraged by the letter
of her Majesty's Secretary of State for the Home Depart-
ment to tapas their desire that the aid of parliament
should be given to the University for this pupae ; and they
beg leave to submit that the object in view might be aeons-
phshed in • satisfactory manner, if enabling powers, to be
exercised for a limited term, were given by an act of the
legislature to a board of persons, who should deserve the
confidence of the University and of the country in the exe-
cution of a work requiring the greatest care and prudence,
and an intimate acquaintance as well with the wants and
duties of the Univenity, as with its constitution and go-
vernment. In suggesting this mode of proceeding the
syndicate are mainly induanoed by • desire to avoid the
evil of repeated and minute interference of parliament in
the affairs of the University."
