Abstract

IN calling attention to the article in another column concerning the future representation of the London University in Parliament, we may state that there is a very widely expressed feeling that such representation, being a matter of national concern, should be considered from an absolutely non-political standpoint. A strong feeling has been expressed in many quarters that if the representative of the University be not a man of European distinction, a great opportunity will have been lost. Among those thought of from this point of view is a distinguished office bearer of the Royal Society. We trust that if he has been asked to serve in such a cause, he will not refuse to come to the assistance of those who are working to promote it.
