Townsville And The University
The efforts of the North Queensland Development League seems to have borne fruit on at least one tree – the Secretary reports that an extension college of the University of Queensland is to be established in Townsville. But the crop is not a very large one.
The Acting Director of the University’s external studies has told the League Secretary that “the problem of finding suitable tutors and the small number of external students in Townsville” will limit the scheme. It will, he states, be “a modest one.”
The Acting Director also tells the League Secretary that unless the scheme comes under the Commonwealth Government Assistance Scheme students will have to travel to Brisbane for examinations.
