Book excerpt: Excerpt from President's Report for the Year Ending 30th June, 1908 On the other hand if the University expects productive work from its staff, and the effective teaching which depends upon independent study and investigation, it must endeavour to prevent the professors from being over burdened with instruction. It should also be borne in mind that members of our comparatively small staff in Arts are responsible for duplicate lectures at Trinity, for the lectures to teachers in the city during the winter, and for the Summer Session. The temptation is natural to solve these difficulties in the easiest way by adding junior members to the staff. Undoubtedly this may be up to a certain proportion quite wise, but the efficiency of a university will be measured in part by the Opportunity afforded to the average student of coming under the influence of experienced teachers. Our aim therefore must be to strengthen the departments, up to the limit of our ability, with men of professorial rank or of mature experience.
