letter, 01/11/1933, Presumed Dr Benham to University Council, University of Otago, Application for an additional grant of 20 pounds for the session of 1932. Owing to the large class size of 122 in the first year and eight advance. Expenditure for animals to dissect has been higher, 70 pounds allocated to Biology department has been exceeded. Grant was 80 pounds in former years but was cut down to 70, number of students has been on the increase for the last two years. It is evident that the sum of 70 pounds is not enough to run the department on and suggest it be increased next year to 90 pounds
