Abstract
IT has given us special pleasure during the last few years to record the efforts made in several of our British Universities and Colleges to adapt their teaching and their appliances for teaching to the present state of knowledge. We have seen what has been done by means of a fraction of the splendid revenues of Oxford, what the princely munificence of her Chancellor is providing for Cambridge, and what public subscriptions aided by judicious liberality on the part of Government have enabled Glasgow to achieve. Let us see what is now being attempted by a University which, though for its years rich in usefulness and fame, even relatively to those just mentioned, is, so far as funds are concerned, in a state approaching to indigence.
