The Universities We had no space last week to record
the particularly interesting Encoenia at Oxford, when Lord Grey of Fallodon conferred degrees on such men as the Spanish Ambassador and General Dawes, the doyen and the youngest of foreign representatives here, and on the Prime Minister of Egypt. It has been a time of rejoicing at King's College, London, which celebrated its century of valuable national work. We would commend to our readers its appeal for endowment, for lack of which it has always had to restrict its powers to do good ; it also needs money for its hostel for theological students, who never needed help as they do to-day, and also for the endowment of a Chair in memory of Canon F. D. Maurice. We pointed out some time ago the romantic retributive justice of this proposed foundation. Sir Theodore Morison is to be succeeded as Principal of Armstrong College, Newcastle, by another distinguished ex-Indian official, Sir William Marris, late Governor of the United Provinces and Member of the Council of India. We have before now drawn the attention of our readers to Sir William's graceful translations from the classics, which show quali- ties that adorn his administrative abilities.
