It seems almost certain that Lord Grey of Fallodon will

be elected. to succeed Lord Cave as Chancellor of Oxford University. The opposition, if there was any of a serious kind, has died, away and Lord Grey's election will be uncontested, This decision does great credit to Oxford. Most, elections to the Chancellorship have been political, and if the tradition were followed 'Lord Grey could not be elected now. But the University has preferred to emphasize the fact that Lord Grey is a most honourable and distinguished public servant_ who has never been a partisan and who possesses many of the qualities of intellect and character which Englishmen admire most.
