University Colleges
Brisbane, January 16. –
The joint appeal on behalf of Queensland University colleges has reached £29,208 with the promise of another £10,000. The objective of the fund, which is to build six new colleges on the site of the new University at St. Lucia, is £300,000. The colleges are St. John’s, St. Leos, Emmanuel and King’s for men and the Women’s College and Duchesne College for women.
The existing college buildings are old, dilapidated and scattered throughout Brisbane. In addition to the joint appeal to business firms, each of the colleges is appealing for its own funds and the State Government is giving a pound-for-pound subsidy up to £50,000 for each college.
