Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book details a discussion and analysis of the complaints brought against the 1849 'Amendment Act' that amended the constitution and arrangement of the University of Toronto, Canada. The author begins by providing a brief history of events leading up to the Amendment Act, highlighting that the original 1849 Act was repealed to remedy the lack of interest and participation from denominational colleges. The author goes on to address specific complaints raised by various groups, including the lack of equitable funding for affiliated colleges and the alleged extravagance of expenditures on the university and university college. The author provides a detailed breakdown of the university's expenditures, defending the costs associated with buildings, the library and museum, professorial salaries, and scholarships, by comparing them to similar institutions in Ireland and England. Lastly, the author addresses concerns about the lowering of academic standards, arguing that the university's matriculation and degree requirements are in line with the educational standards of the time and are necessary to ensure access to higher education for students from diverse backgrounds. This thorough examination of the complaints against the Amendment Act and the author's thoughtful responses provide valuable insights into the challenges and considerations involved in shaping the higher education system in Canada.
