Abstract
THE Court of Governors of the University of Birmingham has nominated Mr. Anthony Eden for appointment as Chancellor of the University in succession to Lord Robert Cecil. The Pro-Chancellor (Mr. E. P. Beale) has announced that a public appeal for £1,000,000 will shortly be made to enable the University to proceed with urgently needed developments, especially the bringing together on one site of all the departments (some of which still remain in the centre of the city) and the building of additional halls of residence. Many of the donors to the appeal for £250,000 for rebuilding and re-equipping the Departments of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering have expressed the opinion that a great need of the provincial universities is a fuller communal life for the students, such as can be secured by halls of residence.
