Abstract
THE position of higher education has altered immensely in the last ten years since I ceased to be intimately connected with teaching. In the first place, the number of agencies engaged in the work has multiplied, the number of students they attract has grown, and the funds at their disposal are greatly larger. At that time there were two universities in England, besides the old foundations of Oxford., Cambridge, and Durham—London University, a purely examining body, and the Victoria University at Manchester, uniting the three colleges in Manchester, Liverpool, and Leeds. Now, if we may reckon Newcastle in addition to Durham, there are seven, each well equipped, and with a staff of professors competent and anxious to advance knowledge and to train their students for the duties of life.
