from this statement it appeared that

larger. ana attention was called to the fact
that the university has from time Ia TIM
aodeo many improvements of much extent
and value, for which no extra compensa
ton has been demanded or received from
the government by the university.
Ii was stated by Drs. Purvis. Shadd and

last year expended over 5000 in fitting up

such treatment, for the reason that no

simply impracticable.

gested that the present arrangements be
