Abstract
APART from the University of London, the rest of the universities of the British Isles are aiming at carrying on their work at their present posts, so for as is possible. A few departments and faculties of various universities have, we understand, made tentative arrangements to move to other quarters; but at present no steps have been taken. Dates for the beginning of the new term have been changed in certain cases. The University of Liverpool is to carry on at Liverpool, though instruction in certain faculties and departments will also be given at Harlech College on Cardigan Bay. Accommodation in certain colleges in Wales has also been acquired by that university, and will be used if necessary. So far as can be ascertained, the University of London is making the following changes: Administration—Royal Holloway College, Englefield Green, Surrey; Examinations—Courleigh, The Cleves, Beigate; University College—Aberystwyth (men), University of. Sheffield (women); King's College—University of Bristol; Institute of Education—University College, Nottingham; Imperial College of Science and Technology—University of Edinburgh (Mining Department—Camborne, Cornwall); Queen Mary College—King's College, Cambridge; London School of Economics and Political Science—Peter-house, Cambridge; School of Oriental Studies—Cambridge; Bedford College for Women—Girton College, Cambridge; Westfield College—St. Peter's Hall, Oxford; Goldsmiths’ College—University College, Nottingham. The medical schools of the University are being distributed among several centres in Great Britain.
