Abstract
IT is not without significance that at a time when the University of Cambridge is suffering from overcrowding, several important steps should have been taken to facilitate the admission of the best students of other universities. The recent establishment of the research degrees of Ph.D., M.Sc., and M.Litt. has attracted a rapidly growing number of first-class graduates from the universities of the British Empire and promises the development of very important schools of post-graduate research. Research schools are no new thing in Cambridge, but a general development of research by young graduates in all branches of study is now taking place, and will succeed so far as Cambridge can find the right men to direct it and can adapt an elastic machinery to meet its requirements.
