Abstract
CAMBRIDGE.—On October I, the first day of the Michaelmas term, Dr. Alex Hill, Master of Downing, was formally admitted to the office of Vice-Chancellor. The retiring Vice-Chancellor delivered an address to the Senate, in which he reviewed the events of the past academical year. The emphatic rejection of the proposals in reference to degrees for women rendered it probable that some years must elapse before the University would grant any further rights or privileges to women students. The statement published last term by the Chancellor, as to the pressing financial needs of the University, had already led to one munificent gift of 2000l., and it was hoped that this would be followed by others. Valuable donations to the museums and laboratories were acknowledged. Among new appointments were included the Professorship of Mental Philosophy, the Gilbey Lectureship in Agriculture, the Lectureship in the Hausa Language, and the Lectureship in Physiological Psychology.
