Abstract
BIRMINGHAM.—A chair of music has been established by an endowment of 10,000l. given for that purpose by Mr. Richard Peyton, of Birmingham. The chair has been accepted by Sir Edward Elgar; but the intention of the university authorities is by no means to interfere in any way with his work as composer, and he will be left free to develop the chair gradually and on such lines as he, in consultation with other members of the Senate, may think fit.
