BIRKBECK COLLEGE.

[To THE EDITOR OF THE " SeEcTAToR."]

Sra,—The centenary of the foundation of Birkbeck College (University of London) will be celebrated next year, and in this connexion it is proposed to publish a short history of the development from the original Birkbeck Institution of 1823. May I through your columns request anyone who has material which might be useful for this history to lend it to the college? We already possess the printed and other official recortls, but former teachers and students of the college may have par- ticulars in private manuscripts showing, for example, the place the institution has held in different generations.—I am, Sir, &c.,

GEORGE SENTER (Principal).
