VICTORIA COLLEGE.

provision must be made for large increases ot accommodation and equipment, otherwise the students, of our College will be at a serious disadvantage in comparison with those of the older and wealthier Colleges. Despite the enthusiasm and harmony of the staff, and their willingness to adapt themselves to their cramped environment, the work of the College is carried on at great inconvenience. The number of class rooms 13 inadequate, .the classes are congested,there is no office accommodation. The library, which, is justly appreciated and greatly med bv the students, and which is

being continually increased by generous donations and by an annual appropriation out of the College Funds, will shortly have sufficient room neither for the books nor for the readers. The teaching of the Sciences, whether biological or physical, necessitates the provision of an efficient museum, the lack of which has for some time been keenly felt. The most urgent immediate necessity is the erection of the large class room 3. For this purpose the Government has promised a subsidy of £2 fo every £1 of voluntary contributions, on condition that the work is besun without delay, and that the limit of the Government's liability is £2,000. The Council feels that the present opportunity of incrasing the efficiency of the College should not j be allowed to slip, and appeals to all interested in education throughout the districts for funds to enable it not merely to construct the new wing, but to complete the buildings and their equipment as planned. The Universities of other countries have benefitted largely by donations from private contributors, and the Council believes that the public spirit of New Zealand is as keen as that elsewhere. In no way can the mem-

otiy of prominent citizens be more effectively perpetuated than by the erection and equipment of University buildings, which not only constitute a lasting memorial of the donor, but also increase the national efflcien cy. Chaques should be made payable to the Treasurer, Victoria College Council, or order, crossed and sent to the Registrar, Victoria College, No. 219 Lambton Quay.—l am. etc., JOHN GRAHAM, , Chairman of the Council.
