“Any university that does that kind of thing forfeits its right to be called a university and would forfeit its right to receive such educational grants as would be made under a C.C.F. government,” he said in reply to a question following an address in which he outlined the needs of Canadian education. Dr. F. Cyril James, principal and vice-chancellor of McGill University, said that he would make “no statement.”
The third unit of the Hillel Foundation on Canadian campuses was today inaugurated at McGill University at a large gathering of Jewish students. A unit was founded at the University of Manitoba early this year and one at Queen’s University, Kingston, in 1942.
