Abstract
ON Friday, the Chancellor of the Exchequer received at the Treasury a large deputation in support of a memorial praying that increased aid may be given to the English University Colleges, ten in number, and to University College, Dundee, which at present receive among them an annual grant of £15,000. Sir M. Hicks Beach, in reply, said there was no question that the existing grant of, £15,000 would be continued; but he thought that in accordance with the recommendations of two Parliamentary committees a competent inspector should be appointed to visit annually each college receiving a grant, and report on its efficiency, its success, and its financial position. Till such an inspector should have reported, he did not think it possible for him to consider the increase of the grant.
