Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Memorials of University Club of Nelson: With Address on Endowment and Organization of Provincial University, November 9th 1907
Should that provision be made now or should it be left for the governments of the future to meet the needs as thew arise? Those who are familiar with the history of the University of Toronto, the largest and most important State University in Canada, will agree with me that, if the future interests ot'higher education in British Columbia are not to suffer. The greater portion of it should be made now while the Province still has at its disposal the great bulk of the public land with the timber and minerals thereof. If this is done the Provincial University of British Columbia will be able to 'reach the highest attainments of scholarship gained by any privately endowed institution' in America, it'not in the world; otherwise it will be compelled to repeat the struggles of all other State universities which their experience should teach os to avoid at all costs.
