Abstract
AT a meeting of the British Academy held on February 25, Lord Balfour, Dr. J. W. Mackail, Sir Henry Newbolt, and Sir Rennell Rodd spoke in support of the endowment fund appeal of the British Institute of Florence. The publication of reports of these speeches has attracted general attention to the enormous importance of cultural relations between civilised peoples in view of what is to-day the supreme interest of European civilisation-the establishment of conditions of genuine and enduring peace and goodwill between the nations. Universities are concerned with these relations., first as subjects of study and research, and secondly as responsive to influences which the universities can and do exert on them. It is mainly the latter aspect with which we are at present concerned, but limitations of space prevent more than a passing reference to the influence of vacation courses for foreigners.
