concerned that he used “education" and "training" interchangeably, 
     
     that be dismissed the importance ofclass size.“ 'lhe St. Dunstan's 
     
     board of directors privately debated the mood oflsland Protestants, 
     
     some members thinking they were scared of a Catholic takeover of 
     
     higher education, others thinking they were confident, believing the 
     
     new university would be an enlarged PVVC.“ Oddly, the first real 
     
     attempt to discuss integration was made by the St. Dunstan’s and 
     
     Prince of Wales student associations over the summer. “In an age 
     
     when students the world over are demanding an active, meaningful 
     
     role in university government," said the Red mm’ Wlntu, “we have 
     
     been transmuted to the nirvana of student power. We need only 
     
     decide to act and all is ours."” Perhaps the students‘ desires were 
     
     not strictly pedagogical. One St. Dunstan’s fellow eagerly awaited 
     
     “importing some ofthe sharp girls from PVVC.” 
     
    

    
     The establishment ofUniversity and College Planning Commit— 
     
     tees, chaired by University of Toronto education professor Edward 
     
     Sheffield, in August 1968 signaled that the new institutions were f1— 
     
     nally getting under way. (Incidentally, what was to become Holland 
     
     College was in no way an afterthought: the Campbell government 
     
     saw it as an integral part of the Islands future. The plan was that 
     
     the college and university would share many facilities, and even ac— 
     
     commodate the same students.) rlhe University Planning Commit— 
     
     tee had 10 members: one representative each from the St. Dunstan's 
     
     and Prince ofWales’ boards, administrations, faculties, and student 
     
     bodies, plus two government representatives. The committee came 
     
     to agreement on a few important matters that fall, most notably that 
     
     the new university would be staffed by PVVC and SDU personnel: 
     
    
   
   
    
     all existing contracts would be honoured, including tenure, and part-
