i Dc.vzden", Monday. ! At the meeting of the University Council, I to-day, a letter was received handing over 1 to the council the balance of the endowment j fund for the University. The first effort ] to pav the overdraft, with Government subI sidy, amounted to £2400. The Dunedin ' Savings Bank, out of its profits, had contriI buted~£6soo, and Wolff Harris £2000. Al- | together, £17,000 had been raised for the ■ University. It was resolved to ask the | Government to pay tie subsidy on the sum I jest handed over. The committee appointed in connection • with the Dental School submitted the draft \ of a letter to be sent to the Minister for ' Education. The cost of the building would !be £1500. Of that, £1000 had been sub- ; scribed by the dentists, and the Govern- ! ment was"asked to find the remainder. The j estimated cost of running the school in full i working order was £300 a year, but the < committee thought a start should be made j on £600 a year." A sum of £500 was avail- | able out of" Government grant for specialisaj tion, contingent on the Government coni tinuing to vote £750 to the Mining School { After some discussion, it was decided to ! continue the committee, with instructions I to obtain all information as to the probable - ■ attendance at the school.
