Urges Full PWC-SDU Merger

that P.E.L ea have one fully-merged university was suggested to the provincial government in a brief presented. to Dr. George Dewar, minister of education, late last week by a 10-man study group. It was further suggested that the new univer- sity, tentatively called the Uni- versity of Prince Edward Is- land, should include Prince of Wales College and St. Dun- stan’s University merging their identities in the new in- stitution.

The group's from the recommendation the recent Royal Commission on Higher Education which suggested a university of Prince Edward Island with the two present institutions as com- ponents with each retaining it’s identity. Under the commis-

suggestion

A member of the three - man royal commission, Dr. J. | A. MacMillan, declined to comment yesterday | on the proposal of a provincial university in which Prince of | Wales and St. Dunstan's would | be merged. .

Dr. MacMillan said ‘‘the commission expressed its ideas in its report to the government | and the commission cannot make comments until

In its brief, the group set out seven principles which led to the belief that s single univer- sity should be established.

The first principle is that “the for university educat-

The second principle is that “the facilities for university edu-| cation in the province must be comparable to the best in Can-| ada in their academic excel- lence.”

The third principle is that “this level of academic excellen- ce can be attained only by hav- ing a single university.”

Another principle is that’ ‘‘the financial resources of this pro- vince make mandatory the most efficient use of available funds.”

The sixth principle is ‘‘the ex- istence of two universities on Prince Edward Islend has beén determined solely by our atti- tudes towards our religious dif- |ferences and the resultant inab- ility to arrive at an effective compromise.”

The last principle set forth was “frank admission and open acceptance of religious differ-

which makes possible a single

In making its suggestion of a single university, the group set
