foundation on a broad and coni- plete base for the student. to the more highly specialised fields. in it. smaller university the student get: something worthwhile in friendships and s more close con- tact with his fellow student. The speaker said he felt the cntrance requirements and the work requirements to the smaller universities should not be lowered as they are somewhat judged by the acceptability of graduates to do post graduate work anywhere. small university should stay with- in its own field and do a good job there as it has done in the past. Most. small universities have a . , ed. compact. and well bal- anced faculty whose sole aim is to turn out good men and women. The wcaksr students are strength- ened and the strong students are

inspired. They all learn to live to- '

gether. Mr. Dunn referred to a state-

ment in the Massey Commission report stressing the urgency for people to understand better. ,The small university serves the area in which it is located and scores of young people who might otherwise be stifled in their edu- cational efforts are enabled to get. knowledge that othrwlse very well be denied them. He felt people should not focus to hard on the costs of the smaller universit- ies but rather should support them in the limit and fully recognise the important place they really play in the territories which they serve and the benefits to their young people.
