The London University. C7b <Ae Jjrfiror ...
THE LONDON UNIVERSITY . C 7 b < Ae JJrfiror (>/ < A « Leader . ) wsssm SU Yo e u ' then say that the London University is .. Z ° l IV ^ rnotina- a somewhat similar proposal , to
. vhlch emanates from Government . Allow me rrivp vnu a feAv words in explanation . S UnWerlity of London consists of a governing Sss ^ rii . rsf's . r-r ^ s hi * " power to affiliate any institution they may tS ° w orthy ; but the Senate ^ - " ^^ i 0 ^ ...: * i * i « intornnl mfinasemeiit of the Colleges , in
, , fac the oly connexion between the University and ifs Colleges is this , that before being examined for I he degrfe of B . A ., a candidate must produce certi-Scatcs from one of the Colleges to the effect that he has studied two years at that College . Thus ? the degree of B . A . of the London University means what that degree has always signified , vi / that a man after his school education , has pent two or three years in a further ec ucatior . and t' a js sKo ^ t ^ xv ^^ Kp „ - ' « Ui . hcd , that when the / raduates « t nuui U — _
sufficiently numerous , ney * .. « . _ - - .. --the government , like every other University , and t ey have been justly entitled to that right or some time but , the Senate , with a narrow-minded Conscrvktism , have steadfastly refused to yield up the least of their power to the claims of the equates , who althouglrmore than a thousand in nunj be % and wr-koninc in their ranks some of the most riMn ^
S S H , f &^^^^^^ y &^ k ^ r * ss : * c t 2 their University granting certificates to persons who ha d passed certain examinations , provided they had no title conferred on them which might ^ be mis taken for a degree , and especially Provide d that they ^ should have no share in the government ot we um verity on the other hand , if any gnjwte rf Oxford or Cambridge were to propose that the degree of B . A in thosl Universities should be granted to any one who could pass the examination he would be thought insane by ninety-mne outof one hundred of his fellow graduates ; and more than fhis , i ? would probably be found that those who are most forward in the movement at Oxford ana CambridgeTo establish examinations ¦/ - certificate ^ would be the first to oppose such a chan ^ ? f 1 h ^ I proposed in the University of London . This change is in fact as great as it could Avell be . The University of London would cease to be a University properly speaking ; it ^ ould beco ae a ^/ , v , ; V , ; rwr v . nnrrl _ an institution tor tne en
couragement of cramming . It is represented tlia ^ the graduates oppose this change , becau se t eywh to keep themselves an exclusive body . Nothing can b \ Te r utility of London 1-s now thi ^ y-eight Pnllpn-es it accepts certificates from the Colleges ! # : ; siLS !

Efe s ^ h , to A Lr ^« s ^ c r Hngly a new charter is now proposed to be granted wheh gives the graduates the power of putting a veto on proceedings of the Senate , and which makes arrangements for a certain number of graduates tJ be from time to time elected to the Senate . In this charter , however , the Senate have caused a ch use to be inserted , Avhich con . pletely changes the " - " „ ., _ it ..-. .: ?• mill which renders its umvti ——

A . of very much less value , it is proposed to do away with the ncccss ty of having Xdit some College , and to grant the degree of 1 A to any one who can pass the examination . Thus your words ' dispensing with residence , do not in the least express the true nature of the pro-Jo ed change , as ' most of the Col e «» have no Jesident students whatever ; it you had sad dlSionsmg Avith regular education , ' would have Ed the right words , and I will attempt to show that this is not too strong language to use . You understand what is meant by cramming ' fnr an examination ! : I have heard ot a man who unuerstanuu
learnt part of Euclid by roto without . g IngK proposition . ' Now there is more or lees cramming Inmost ex aminations , and ^«« l > n fle nuvny students who obtain the degree of B . A . in the London University get up one or two out of the many subject * in which they are examined n a not very sounu manner ; but thero will bo found haidly any exceptions to the rule , that those who now pass this examination huvo a fair and sound knowledge of most of the subjects in which tlioy are examined , and this is the Blmplo effect of their having passed nt least two , but generally three or four years , nt *< *! r «« n ,.. « . u Nnw if the nronoaetl clianue

Company Inquiry would afford excellent inducements for the largest publicity , and most extensive arena for discussion and hearing . Are such rooms as No . 1 kept , as it were in petto , for snug inquiries , that they give no sign ? Are they cunningly devised holes in the -wall into which , by judicious contrivance , and a little management , the broad glare of the public is not permitted readily to penetrate ? . I hope to see this matter , amended , and trust you will not lose sight of it . wr ^ rw-I enclose my card , and remain , sir , your obedient servant , . ^ ,
