On March 23/63, Ryerson and Wilfrid Laurier formally apply for OQAA membership but the decision is deferred for one year. OQAA secretary J. P. Loosemore of Toronto says current 10 members are more than enough. But the committee says it will examine the issue.
As a group, the OIAA applies for CIAU membership. But a decision is deferred because only four of the seven schools were degree-granting institutions: York; Osgoode Hall, Waterloo Lutheran and Laurentian. Ryerson, Hamilton and Windsor are technical schools. The CIAU says it would accept a league with only four schools, forcing the league to deliberate on whether to dump its technical cohorts.
In February, 1963, McGill was admitted as a member of the SIBL.
