Proposing, on behalf of his mother, his sisters and himself, to erect and equip a College Hall at Aberystwyth to accommodate 50 Professors sitting at tables on a dais at one end of the Hall, and for 300 students sitting at tables in the remainder of the Hall at a cost of approximately £8,000, on condition inter alia that the normal and ordinary students he accommodated in the same building, that the College should undertake to provide residential accommodation for at least one third of the present number of ordinary students and, if such a scheme should prove financially successful, one other third should be so accommodated and, if at the end of six years the system was still found to be working successfully, the College should further enlarge the buildings to accommodate all the men students.
