At last count, Canada had forty-five degree-granting institutions whose harassed admissions officers expected some I75,000 students to enroll for the I965-66 academic session-and at that, only II per cent of the college-age population (as compared with 40 per cent in the United States) is pursuing higher education. Every Canadian campus is enveloped in the dust of construction, and the confident expectation is that by I975 approximately i6 per cent of the college-age population will be in university. Except for the relatively modest figures, there is nothing particularly Canadian about the foregoing. It simply parallels the American experience, with the usual time lag of twenty years. What does bear a particularly Canadian stamp, however, is the recent rapid formation of provincial agencies for the planning, the co-ordination, and-most vital of all-the financing of what are in effect provincial university systems. Seven of Canada's ten provinces have such agencies, and Canadian universities are quickly learning to take account of provincial politics. More and more, the Canadian university is coming to be thought of as somehow constituting "public property." More and more, the Canadian university student feels himself entitled to "free education" and vociferously protests fee increases. In some cases there have been tangible results. Already it has been announced that in Newfoundland's Memorial University tuition fees will be waived for first-year students. Nor is the ferment confined to students. Faculty members, too, fearful of the prospect of impersonal multiversities, are engaged in a spirited debate on the proper form of university government. Under the joint auspices of the Canadian Association of University Teachers and the National Conference of Canadian Universities and Colleges, a two-man commission has been traveling from campus to campus examining the government of Canadian universities. The commissioners, Sir James Duff, vice-chairman of the B.B.C., and Robert 0. Berdahl, of San Francisco State College, have by now thoroughly examined the pattern of Canadian university government. It is usually a two-tiered affair consisting of a board of governors and a senate. Americans will have little
