Abstract
I. THE granting of a Charter to the University of Birmingham, which has just become an accomplished fact, forms a fitting climax to an educational movement which may turn out to be one of the most momentous of the century. We have seen University Colleges called into existence in the great cities of the land by the perception of leading citizens that culture and scientific education of a high type must be brought to their doors and made accessible to all; and we have seen the chairs of those colleges occupied by men who have devoted their spare time to the advancement of learning in various ways. All this has been of the greatest interest in the past and is full of hope for the future.
