(3) 16 July 1909 – note from the Bursar stating that as the Committee was not disposed to recommend to the Corporation that they should purchase the whole of New Square at this time, even though it would secure forever an open space hitherto left undeveloped by the College, would the Corporation take over the back portion of the Square?
