J. HuRLDURT, A. M., B. C. L.

Dkau Sir, — At your i-equest I beg to enclose you an extract from the Report of the Finance Committee?

adopted by the City Council on the 28th May ?ast.

( am, Your obed't Servant,

TITOS. BEASLEY,

Clerk of C\t]i Council.

REPORT OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE,

On the Memorial of Mr. Ilurlburt, in reference to the establishment of a Umversitv in Hamilton. Adopted by the

City Council.

The Memorial of Mr. Ilurlburt rcfen-ed to your Committee by this Council, asking the Corporation to inves-
tigate and report upon the propriety of establishing a University in this City for teaching the following branches :
1st, Faculty of Arts; 2nd, Agriculture ■, 3rd, Mechanics ; 4th, Mercantile; 5th, Law : 6th Medicine.

Your Conimittoo gave the subject their perious consideration, and are of opinion that sueh an Institution is
highly necessary.

Your Committee would hero remark that the proposed University contains one feature which must highly
recommend it to the support of the public. Your Committee refer to the proposed facilities for imparting the scientific
knowledge required in every department of practical life. The advantages to Hamilton of such a U^niversity must bo
apparent to all, and especially to those who feel an interest in the education of the young.

Your Coinmittee fnid, however, that at present they have no power to grant any sum of money to Institutions
of this kind; but as soon as an Act can be procured from the Government, giving power to Municipalities to do so,
they would then be able to give a more substantial support than at the present time.

May 26, 1855. Chairman of Finance Committee,
