Abstract
WE are glad to observe that the application of the Yorkshire College for admission to the Victoria University has been successful. Doubt was expressed by some members of the Court as to whether the Faculty of Arts in the Leeds institution was strong enough to justify its claim to share in the privileges enjoyed by Manchester and Liverpool. This doubt was overruled. The Charter requires that the provision for teaching both arts and sciences in a College must be “reasonably sufficient” before it can be admitted to the University. It is not, however, intended that it must be equally developed in both directions. The Yorkshire College is no doubt stronger on the scientific side, and was indeed originally called the “Yorkshire College of Science.” The name was changed, and the limitation it implied removed, two years after its foundation, when the Council formally took over the classes in literature and history previously carried on by the Cambridge University Extension.
