The Clerk read the minutes of the two last meetings
On motion of Ald. Gildersleeve seconded by Ald. McIntyre
Whereas the Government of the Province of Ontario has set apart a valuable site in the Queens Park, Toronto for Victoria College, and proposes to establish also at the public cost a new University Professonate or to greatly extend the School of Science in Toronto, and
Whereas in the above and other ways, private and denominational effort in the work of Higher Education is acknowledged, and by the Continuation of public and private liberality to further a desirable common end, voluntary contributions for colleges situated in Toronto are stimulated, and
Whereas it is only just that this policy should be extended to Eastern Ontario, in whose centre a fully equipped University has been established through the liberality of the people continued for nearly fifty years, and
Whereas any Legislative measure dealing with University Education should be a Comprehensive one; and
Whereas it would be injurious to the best interests of the Province if all the means of obtaining a practical Scientific Education were Centralized in Toronto, as well as opposed to the spirit of our institutions and particularly of our Educational System; and
Whereas this section of the Province requires for the development of its mining, manufacturing, mechanical, agricultural, shipping chemical and other interests the establishment of a School of Practical Science; and
Whereas such schools can be carried on most efficiently in a University City, because instructioin can be obtained in such fundamental subjects as Mathematicks, Astronomy, Physics, Chemistry Natural History, without direct Cost to the Government, and at great saving of time and expense to the young men who desire to obtain that thorough Scientific training by which the Country as a whole is benefitted, as may be seen proved by the comparatively small cost of the Toronto School of Science in the past, because of its contiguity to University College -
Therefore Resolved
1. That this Council respectfully memorialize the Government of the Provice of Ontario to take steps to establish in Kingston, in connection with and as part of its Educational policy, an Institution in which instruction shall be given in mining and metallurgy
