Mr. J. W. Slaven read the report of the Joint Special Committee composed of the Executive, Finance and Educational Committees, which was adopted. From this report it appeared that the Council have at last succeeded in settling the very difficult question of the Professors’ salaries. Under an arrangement entered into in 1886, the Professors have been paid according to the attendance at the College. Under the arrangement effected, each Professor will be paid a definite salary in proportion to the work he does, which it is expected to be a considerable saving to the College, thereby placing the Council in a position to deal with the debt upon the building. The report was adopted.
Moved by J. McKee, and seconded by J. H. Mackenzie,--
“That Mr. F. T. Harrison be appointed by this Council as the demonstrator of practical work as per report of your Committee.”
