Abstract
THE presentation for degrees of the University of London, which is to take place in the Albert Hall as we go to press, under the presidency of the Chancellor, Lord Rosebery, is noteworthy in several respects. For the first time in the history of the university, honorary degrees are to be conferred, the recipients being their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales, Lord Kelvin, and Lord Lister. The Prince is to receive the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws, the Princess that of Doctor of Music, and Lord Kelvin and Lord Lister that of Doctor of Science. Ordinary degrees are also to be conferred on 414 persons who have obtained them during the past year. Moreover, the occasion is remarkable as being the first gathering of representatives of all the different institutions and groups of persons connected with the university.
