We believe that the draft charter of the proposed Victoria
University has, in accordance with the request of the Lords of the Privy Councilhbeen submitted to that body. We understand that, according to this draft, the University would have the right of conferring upon all persons, whether male or female,
who have pursued a regular course of study in- any of its col- leges and passed its examinatiohs, all degrees which can be con- ferred by any other University of the kingdom, with the ex- ception of medical degrees, the Privy Council having declined to confer power as to these, at a time when legislation on the whole subject of medical degrees and the licensing power for the prac- tice of medicine has been proposed to Parliament, and still remains unsettled. The charter, we are informed, contains provisions for establishing a convocation of graduates of the University, with appropriate rights and functions.
