The Universities in Spain General Primo de Rivera, who has
more than once spoken of his `: patriarchal dictatorship," continues to treat his countrymen as though they were naughty children. At the end of last week, in token of the perfect tranquillity which has reigned at the opening of both the Seville and Barcelona Exhibitions, the Spanish Government announced that the decrees against the various establishments of higher education were cancelled. This means that the Universities will resume normal life in October, and that meanwhile students who have already paid their examination fees a second time to a non-offending University may, after June 15th, take the examination at their own University. Those who have preferred to wait upon events will be compelled to continue waiting until the autumn session. We are not surprised at this change of attitude at a time when the League Council is to hold a session in Madrid.
