Abstract

WE are informed that the Government is prepared to make the financial arrangements necessary to enable the Imperial Institute to become the headquarters of the Organisation of the New University of London. This decision of the Government was brought before the Senate at its meeting yesterday by the Vice-Chancellor, and it is hoped that no unnecessary delay will occur in receiving the agreement of all parties concerned; while it is doubtful whether a Faculty of Commerce commensurate with the other Faculties can be at once established; it is most important that the various subjects which would naturally be included in it should be taught. This teaching might fairly find a place in the Imperial Institute under the authority and control of the New University. Some of the instruction would be germane to the valuable collection of raw materials, &c., in the Institute.
