We desire to draw the sympathetic attention of our readers
to the appeal made on behalf of St. Hilda's Hall, Oxford, which is to be found in our correspondence columns. The appeal is one to which we attach a special importance because of the stress that is laid on the need for meeting tho demands of the Dominions in the matter of residential accommodation. It is good for all undergraduates to live in college, but the benefit is double distilled in the case of women and treble distilled in the case of girls from the sister nations of the Empire. We want to give them of our very best, and to make Oxford one of the chief links in that Imperial chain which unites but does not fetter. For challenging us et boldly on an issue so beneficent St. Hilda's not merely deserves admiration and gratitude, but must command the enthusiastic support of all who love Oxford and the Britains oversee. We trust that the men of light and leading throughout the Empire will do their part to help the building scheme. Let the five Dominions, as a beginning, provide a sum for the Building Fund considerable enough to enable St. Hilda's to dedicate accommodation for each Dominion under its name. Then let it be arranged that there shall always be scholars to enjoy it.
