We omitted to notice last week that Lord Selborne, in

re- tiring from the Oxford Commission, has been replaced as President of that Commission by the Master of University College, Dr. Bradley, from whom the Liberals hope even more in the direction of University reform than they ever ventured to hope from Lord Selborne,—who was more of a Conservative in relation to the politics of the University than he was in relation to the politics of the Empire. Dr. Bradley is bold, as well as full of the special experience of great teachers. We may well hope from him all the aid that one of the most earnest and most able of the students of University life and University possibilities can give to an otherwise strong Commission, in the position of its leader.
