Abstract
THE question of what is to be done with one of the greatest of existing London abuses, Gresham College, has again come up in connection with a letter from a “Londoner” in the Times. The Times, in a somewhat incomplete leader, animadverts strongly on the abuse, and urges its prompt remedying. Surely when the fact that London has no university in the true sense is attracting so much attention and the movement to supply the want is so powerful, it is absurd to allow the funds to be worse than wasted which represent the wreck of those which were originally intended for the maintenance of a real institution of this class. There were once 20,000 students at Gresham College, and when London does have a university, as it must have some time, even Gresham College will be without raison d'être.
