The Bedford College (York Place), the only women's college in

London that has the chemical and physical laboratories required for the proper teaching of students who intend to take the science degrees of the University of London, is making an application to the London Companies for aid in extending those laboratories so as to bring them up to the highest point of efficiency. This cannot be done without a considerable extension of the building, and as the opportunity has just occurred of securing fresh building ground next to the College, and building a wing which cannot be added with- out an expenditure considerably exceeding B3i000, it is of the first importance to this most valuable institution that it should be in a position to obtain the ground requisite before Christmas next. We sincerely hope that the City Companies will take its very high claim on public gratitude into their careful consideration. There is no institution of the kind in London which has done its work better than Bedford College, or that has secured a higher place for its students in the examinations of the London University.
