Abstract
LONDON.—At a meeting held on May 7, Convocation received a report from the standing committee, in which is reprinted the statement presented to the Royal Commission on behalf of Convocation. The statement deals exhaustively with the origin of the commission as having reference specifically to the question of the future relations of the Imperial College to the University. Other questions involved in the commission's terms of reference are not mentioned in this statement; but Dr. Senter, one of the witnesses, put in a statement regarding the work of the University on its external side. As a record of the events leading to the establishment of the Imperial College the statement is valuable. Lord Rosebery's letter, dated June 27, 1903, to Lord Monkswell, then chairman of the London County-Council, is reprinted, and a detailed account of the proceedings in the Senate in relation to the question is given. It is urged that the only changes necessary in the constitution of the University for the incorporation of the Imperial College are such as were offered by the Senate in December, 1908.
