Abstract
THE alumni and other friends of the University of St. Andrews have been roused to action by the threat (now withdrawn) of its possible dissolution, in consequence of insufficient endowment. An “Appeal” which has just been issued shows that 2700l. (in sums of from 100l. to 1000l.) has been already subscribed towards the better endowment of the Professorial Chairs; and a scheme has been set on foot amongst the younger graduates for the no less essential object of securing the augmentation of the open bursaries. Upwards of 200l. (in sums of from 1l. to 50l.) has been already promised towards this special fund, and an appeal from the Committee appointed for this purpose will shortly be circulated. There is good reason to believe that the withdrawal of the obnoxious clause has been partly occasioned by the practical shape which the defence of the oldest Scottish University has thus assumed.
