Abstract
IN an article which appeared in our issue of June 13 it was stated that fifty-four universities would send delegates to this Congress. The nascent university of Calgary was subsequently excluded from the official list, on the ground that for the present it proposes to confine its degrees to agriculture. It is not difficult to imagine the Secretary's feelings when he found that with the exception of one of the smallest of the Canadian institutions which boasts the right of conferring degrees every university of the Empire would be represented. At the last moment the Chancellor of the Western University of London, Ontario, arrived in the somewhat better-known city of the same name, and the tale was complete. This is a fact of no small significance, especially when the character of the delegation is considered. Fourteen of the universities over seas were represented by their Executive Heads, and amongst the remaining delegates were thirty-six professors.
