Abstract
THE Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge has announced that in answer to the University's application, a formal letter of gift is being prepared by the International Education Board, offering £700,000 to the University on the conditions and for the objects already announced (NATURE, Oct. 20, p. 632). One condition is the raising by the University from other sources of a sum of £229,000, and the Vice-Chancellor is able to announce munificent offers from the Government, the Empire Marketing Board, and the Royal Agricultural Society, amounting to £101,000 in all, of which £85,000 goes towards the sum required. The offers are conditional upon the remaining £144,000 being secured, but they will come as the greatest possible encouragement to the Committee charged with the task of securing to the University the magnificent opportunity presented to it by the munificent offer of the Rockefeller International Education Board.
