Abstract
BIRMINGHAM.—An appeal is being issued for 500,000l. in aid of the funds of the University. The finances are in a critical condition; there is a debt of 130,000l. which absorbs at present 8000l. per annum, necessary extensions of building have had to be made, the staff is deplorably underpaid, and the entry of new students is a heavy one. In spite of the 25 per cent. increase in the fees of new students, these fees will still represent only about 30 per cent. of the cost of providing the instruction, so that the greater the entry the greater the need for money.
