The University Vote
SIR, —The purely selfish and narrow attitude of most of those contributing an opinion on this nationally important subject is surprising. None seems to recognise that the essential value of the university votc_is that it enables highly educated experts to gain a seat in Parliament without going through the time-wasting hurly-burly of an ordinary election. University votes are postal votes, and one dignified address is circulated by the candidate. The nation, not merely the universities, gains by the unique quality of candidates thus elected.
Further, why do opponents of the university vote try to force Mr. Churchill to become a liar'? He gave an absolute promise that the university vote should be restored when it was maliciously and unpatriotically destroyed by the Labour Government.—Yours faithfully,
