We desire to offer our welcome to the representatives of
over fifty Universities of the Empire who are gathered at home for a Congress at Cambridge, as they were five years ago at Oxford. They will discuss how best to co-operate in the advancement of learning as disinterested seekers after scholarship and truth. Where jealousy and self-interest do not enter, some progress is always made. We have no wish to see any attempts at unifor- mity of teaching or stereotyped systems of self- government. The individualism among these Universi- ties is strong, and so long as the experience of each is made available to all, let them realize their freedom to pursue what they find works best whether it is adopted from an older University or developed among their own surroundings as most suitable there. We understand that a new member of the Congress is the Hebrew University of Jerusalem which Lord Balfour inaugurated when he visited Palestine.
