Abstract
THE public must be getting puzzled and bewildered over the question of the site for the University of London. Until recently it believed that the site at Bloomsbury had been definitely decided upon, and it expected that active preparations would shortly be made for the erection of buildings. There were good reasons for the belief and for the expectation. A public announcement was made that the Government's offer had been accepted, and that the purchase of the site had been completed. A few months later a temporary but very substantial building, provided by an anonymous donor at a cost of 20,000l., for the University Institute of Historical Research, was actually erected on the Bloomsbury site and formally opened by the President of the Board of Education. This certainly looked as if the innumerable discussions and delays had at last resulted in something like definite action.
