Endowment revenue 011 which the College extensively depends for its finances did not, during the year under review, cause the anxiety of the years of depression, but it is far below what is necessary to meet the demands for further development in the work of the College. The most insistent claim to be satisfied is that of increased accommodation. So acute has the position become that it was found impossible to find room for the recently established School of Geography in the College buildings, and the Council was compelled to find accommodation elsewhere for the large number of students taking the course. Changed circumstances have so affected, and will no doubt continue to affect, the revenue of the College that the demands for future advances can be met only by an increased State grant for building extensions. The erection of a new School of Art on the site acquired some years ago and the transference to Canterbury College of the School building would provide a solution of our most pressing problem. At the beginning of the year, Dr. Sutherland, Dr. Field, and Dr. White assumed duty as Professor in charge of the departments of Philosophy, Education, and Physics, respectively, and the energy and enthusiasm shown by each in their first year of office give the Council sound reason for congratulations 011 the appointments made. Professor Farr, who had occupied the Chair of Physics from 1911, and Professor Shelley, the Chair of Education for sixteen years, were each elected Professor Emiritus in recognition of their valuable services to Canterbury College. Dr. Bradshaw, who was appointed Lecturer in Music in f902, was accorded the status of Professor and appointed to the Chair of Music.
