Abstract
WE live in a busy age, and a perception and appreciation of the necessity for economy of time has, whether we like it or not, penetrated even the serenity of the academic world. Each university publishes its own calendar, and sets out, either briefly or at length, particulars concerning its personnel, organisation, regulations, and activities. But all those separate calendars form a library of some 50,000 pages; and, as the universities come more and more to interest and influence a wider circle than their own professors and students, the “Yearbook,” with its admirable condensation and presentation of essential information, satisfies more and more a very real need.
