⁸ Higher Education in Canada, p. 13. Whiie the trend since 1946, owing to the supplementary payment to the universities of $150 per veteran and to the recent drop in veteran enrolment, has been for the better, it has not been very much so. The N.C.C.U. figures for the largest universities indicate that while expenditure per student was $515 in 1944 and reached its low point at S395 in 1946, it then climbed slowly to only $433 in 1949. See Table I, Appendix.

²⁰ Figures for total university expenditures are estimated from the income figures of institutions representing 80 per cent of total enrolment (as given in Canada Year Book, 1948-49, p. 319) by calculating the total expenditures of these institutions and then adding 10 per cent only, since the institutions omitted are mainly those conducted by religious orders where teachers receive little or no salary; figures for gross national product are from Canada Year Book, 1948-49, p. 1089.

³² The President's Commission in the United States has gone as far as to recommend that in publicly supported institutions fees beyond the sophomore year should be rolled back to their 1939 level and that fees below the junior year should be abolished entirely. See Russell, “Basic Conclusions and Recommendations of the President's Commission on Higher Education,” p. 499. However, if enough able students were aided by a generous scholarship scheme this expedient would not be necessary.
