Abstract
THE Vice-Chancellor, in his recent address at the commercement of the academic year at Cambridge, referred to the heavy strain which has fallen during the past year upon the administrative officers of the university—the Registrary, the Secretary of the General Board, the Treasurer, and, we may add, the Vice-Chancellor himself—and upon the members of various boards and committees. When 1000 pages of ordinances have to be recast to meet the requirements of new statutes, the labour involved must necessarily be extremely heavy. It may not be without interest to inquire after a year's working how far the results obtained justify not only last year's work, but also the heavy work involved over a period of years by the labours of the Royal Commission and the subsequent Statutory Conimission.
