Subseries 3 - Records of the Committee to Study the University Act 1944

In January of 1949, a Committee on Legislation was appointed as a result of several questions that had been raised by Emmanuel College alumni. The Committee met 5 times and discussed if changes to the Victoria University Act 1944 could address the questions of the alumni. The Committee submitted recommendations in February of 1950 and noted that changes to the legislation would require considerable study by committee. A memo was also submitted with proposed changes to the Act of 1944. A Special meeting was held on February 9, 1950 to discuss the report that had been submitted. It was decided to send the report back to the Committee to continue work. In June of 1950, the Committee presented a draft of the Bill and some changes were approved. Discussion and work continued on changes to the By-Laws. At the October 19, 1950 meetin, the Committee presented it's final recommendations and was discharged from its duties. It was decided that the Draft Act would be sent to all members of the Board, the Senate and College Councils for comment (this would be done by the President and Dean).
