Abstract
MANY readers “will be glad to have in this convenient and permanent form the address delivered by Sir A. W. Ward, formerly Vice-Chancellor of the University of Manchester, on March 23 last, at a memorial service for members of the University who have fallen in the war. After explaining the high office of education as “the drawing out, and bringing to a beneficent growth and increase, what has been implanted by nature, aided by circurnstance,” the address outlines the growth and development of Manchester University from the time when, in the year before that of the outbreak of the Great Civil War, Henry Fairfax petitioned the Long Parliament for the establishment of a northern university, down to the present day. The members of the University who study the address will value increasingly the privilege of their association with so worthy an institution.
Founders' Day in War Time.
