CHURTON COLLINS MEMORIAL FUND.

you, of your courtesy, allow me through your paper to tell old students and friends of the late Professor J. Churton Collins that a movement is afoot to raise a memorial to his memory ? The general public, who knew him only by name, are not invited to subscribe, the intention being to offer a tribute of affection and respect from those who loved him for his beautiful character and churning personality, who admired his great and many-sided gifts, or who feel grateful for the help and pleasure derived from his scholarly lectures and books. The memorial will, according to the amount subscribed, take the form of a scholarship or prize for English literature or Greek. The details will be settled by a Committee of donors.
