The minutes of the meeting of February 15th were read and adopted.
Correspondence with the Minister of Education was read.
Mr. Peter Jones reported upon an informal discussion with Dr. Perry of
the Department of Ed ucation, who indicated (1) that of the five appli­
cations for regional colleges presently before the Academic 8oard for
evaluation, while not all met the necessary criteria, that of the North
Shore did do so; (2) that the Cabinet did not feel that it was politi­
cally expedient to move on one application at this time. By implication
it wag suggested that the Cabinet might respond in our case to some form
of public pressure.
A �eneral discussion of the Committee's future policy followed. While the
Committee did not proceed by formal motion, it 't-rag agreed that the more
effective way to exert influence was by continuous reports of accomplished
progress rather than by arousing public outcry through a publicity cam­
paign. The Committee, therefore, should proceed immediately to do all pre­
liminary planning within its power.
It was further agreed:
1. That the Committee ask the School Boards of North and West Vancouver to
instruct their administrative staffs to enlist the aid of their municipal
planning departments in identifying areas of available land 20A to ?OA in
size and suitable for building. This report is to be submitted to the
Committee by October 1st. The Committee will then apply college criteria
to the designated areas to arrive at an order of desirability.

2. That copies of inter-Board agreements should be supplied to members so
that details of our own proposed agreement can be worked out at subsequent
meetings.

,. That the proposed curriculum of the collPge should be planned in outline,
with a representativP number of courses planned in detail.
4. That a suitable person should be employed to assist in planning the
curriculum, to be paid from regional college research funds. Names for
the consideration of the Committee would be supplied through suggestions
of the administrative staffs and through public advertisement.

progress.
