...plans of the committee which, we believe, would prove of lasting benefit to the University. Even if it is undesirable that a complete scheme for the future development of the College property should be formulated, even if the future needs of the College in the way of buildings cannot be outlined, to the laity at least it seems as if the possibilities of buildings on the present property can be mapped out, so that some general course may be followed in the future...
