THE GUARDIAN, NOVEMBER 22, 1893. 1801 changes recently made in Oxford. The Craven Fellowship, established in 1886 by a rearrangement of the old Craven funds, is obtainable by good work in any of several branches of classical study. The Conington Prize was similarly thrown open about the same time, by the granting of permission to candidates to choose theitf own subjects within due limits, and the results in 1891, when the prize was last awarded, was a real competition among able men. It is hoped that a similar ohange will encourage similar competition among candidates for the Arnold Prize.

The hope, however, may be disappointed. The Conington Prize practically affects only grown men. The Arnold stands more on a level with the Craven JPellowship or the Newton Studentship at Athens, and it is notorious that the competitors for those honours have of late years been more distinguished than numerous. experiment is worth trying, and one good feature in the new scheme is a provision which seems to indicate that not every successful essay need be published. If once it is really recognised that we can encourage researoh among younger men without necessarily hurling them into premature print, we shall have advanced a long step.

Tho election of Professor Edward Caird, of Glasgow, to the Mastership of Balliol, was noted in these columns last week. Tho appointment has most certainly given rise to reflections among many of those who aro interested in Balliol, and many of us must regret that the lot did rather, could on Mr. Straehan-Davidson. But it is equally certain that Mr. Caird is a brilliant man, who will, in the judgment of tho3e that know, well and wisely fill his high office.

He was himself a Snell Exhibitioner of Balliol, and as an undergraduate was older than, and perhaps a trifle separated from, undergraduate life, but he had subsequent experience as a Fellow of Merton, and his Scotch connection will doubtless be valuable in a college which tends more and more to draw Scotchmen to it, as Balliol does. Two learned societies are said to have Tvokon to new life this term, the Philological and the Ancient History Society. They have held combined meetings, with large audiences, to listen to Mr. Myres, the Craven Fellow of 1892, describing his travels in Croto and Caria, and Mr. Haverfield discoursing on Eoman Britain.

It will bo interesting to see if, in our crowded and harassed life, our specialist scholars will be able to retain wider interests and support such societies as they used to do. Meanwhile, Mr. Rendel Harris has been lecturing at Mansfield. His lectures have been published, and.may bo in our readers' hands. Tho point ho made appears to bo the need of comparing Greek MSS.

with Oriontal versions, a need on which other scholars are also insisting. The athletics of the week have not been very striking. Boat clubs have been busy rowing off their college races. In tho competition for-the Football Cup, Mugdalen beat Christ Church with a good deal of difficulty, but now sooms fairly certain of ultimate success, for which they will have to thank their goalkeeper far more than their forwards. Tho Rugby team on Monday won a fine victory over the Edinburgh Academicals, and are generally in a good way." Tho following degrees were conferred in a Congregation holdon on Doctor of G.

Jodroll J. Waters, CAMBRIDGE. (From our Correspondent.) A. meeting was held on Monday last in support of the llausa Association, which has boon recently formed as a memorial of tho late John Alfred Robinson, who died after four years labour in connection with tho Church Missionary Society among this pooplo. They occupy an important territory to tho wost of the Niger, and as thoir caravans traverse tho wholo of tho north of Africa, from the Niger to tho Soudan, and from Guinea to Tripoli, their languago has been adopted as a lingua franca throughout a largo portion of the Dark Continent.

The object of tho association is to support a missionary student, who shall devote himself to tho scientific study of tho language, as a first basis for further work of many kinds. Tho languago is of great philological interest, which is partly due to its supposed ailinity with Semitic languages; it is of groat practical value for trading purposes, and may bo a useful factor in any civilising agency; for tho purpose of missionary work it is invaluable. It will bo tho chief part of the missionary student's first endeavours to correct and complete tho existing translations of tho Scriptures, and to provide, so far as may be, helps to tho study of tho language. Tho first student (Mr. C.

H. Robinson), has both enthusiasm and experience, which should render him specially fitted to carry on his brother's work. Mr. Montaguo James, of King's Colloge, has been appointed Director of the Fitzwilliam Museum, in succession to Professor Middleton, who has resigned the post on his removal to London. It will be a matter of general satisfaction that the lato assistant-Director should bo raised to a position of greater responsibility.

He has a keen appreciation of the valuable collection now placed in his charge, and is always ready to assist other investigators by his own accurate knowledge. A very regrettable accident occurred last week in connection with tho visit of a football team from Keblo Colloge, Oxford. The visitors wero being seen off by some of their friends at tho London and North-Western station; the leave-taking was boisterously prolonged after the train was in motion, and Mr. Walker, of Trinity College, who was hurried along by the side of the moving train, was knocked down by a water-supply pipo at the end of the platform, and had his feet crushed somewhat seriously. At the same time, it is satisfactory to know that tho first reports were exaggerated, and that there is every prospect of a eomploto recovery.

A good deal of comment haa been excited hero by the treatment which Mr. Aldis has received from the authorities of Auckland College, New Zealand. The recurring difficulties between professors and councils in the Antipodes must sooner or later tender really good men disinclined to accept such distant and uncertain posts. The Master of Selwyn College, by voluntarily accepting a share in the appointment of the office which the Agent-General had has appeared to concur in the action of the Council in creating a vacancy; but, so far as the facts have been made known in Cambridge, very general sympathy is felt for Mr. Aldis.

The Coutts Trotter Studentship, for the jpromotion'of original research in Natural Science, more especially in Physiology and Experimental Physics, open to graduates of Trinity, not being Fellows, of not more than seven years' standing from the tlmo of commencing residence, has been awarded to D. H. Moore, B.A., of the college. Mr. Moore obtained a first- class in the Natural Sciences Tripos, Part June, 1891, and a flrst-class for Physics in the Natural Sciences Tripos, Part June, 1893.

Dr. Swete announces that a course of theological lectures for the clergy, upon the general lines of the Oxford Clergy Lectures Scheme of 1893, will be provided at Cambridge during the second fortnight of July, 1894. The arrangements are in the hands of a committee consisting of the five Professors of Divinity, the Regius Professor of Hebrew, the Dixie Professor of Ecclesiastical History, the principals of the Clergy Training School and Ridley Hall, and the Rev. A. Caldecott, B.D..

Fellow of St. John's College, who will act as secretary; address, 45, Chesterton-road, Cambridge. Both the Archbishops have sanctioned the proposal, and letters of approval and sympathy havo been received from nearly all the Bishops of the English and Welsh dioceses. Further particulars will be announced early in the Lent Term. The Marquis of Bute has written to the Lord -Provost of Dundee expressing regret at being unable to visit that city in connection with his election as Lord Rector of St.

Andrews University, but inclosing a cheque for for founding and endowing a Dundee scholarship at St. Andrews. The election of a Lord Rector of the University of Glasgow took place last Wednesday, when Sir John Gorst was chosen by 016 votes against 096 recorded for Mr. As.inith, tho Home Secretary. The Marquis of Huntly, Liberal Unionist, was on Saturday chosen Lord Rector of tho University of Aberdeen by 347 votes, against 233 given to Mr.

W. A. Hunter, Gladstonian. Dr. Porcival, head master of Rugby, and formerly head master of Clifton College, has been elected president of University College, Bristol, in succession to tho late Master of Balliol.

Tho foundation-stone of a new chapel in connection with Cheltenham College was laid on Thursday week by the Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol. As a memorial of the jubilee of the school, in the summer of 1891, the erection of a more worthy chapol and the utilisation of tho old chapel for a library and museum was proposed, by the Principal, and cordially accepted. So far, a sum of about has been raised; but as this amount is insufficient to complote the new building asdosignod, it is only contemplated at present to erect seven out of tho eight bays of which it is ultimately to consist, leaving most of the decoration to a future time, aud transferring, for the present, tho furniture of the old chapel to tho now. Tho costof tho incomplete fitted, will be and to finish tho work at least moro will be required. The architects, Messrs.

Middleton, Prothero, and Phillott, have designed the ohapel In the Late Perpendicular stylo, with distinguishing feature a vaulted Btone roof, rising to a height of coft. Tho length of the building Is to bo so that it will bo the longest as well as tho highest ecclesiastical edifice in the town. Pea -grit fromCTeove-hill is used for the plinth, and tho main structure will also'bo of local stono. with Red Farleigh dressings. The buttresses aro to bo crowned with pinnacles, while at tho north-west corner will riso a turret.

For own bay Is designed a four-light trausoined window, '25ft. high by 11 wido, the spaco from floor to glass line being 24ft. The cast window (not trausomed) is of nine lights, of rich tracery, and fills the whole of tho oast end abovo tho height represented internally by tho rorodos. Another external feature will be an elaborate west door, surmounted by panelled tracery and niches for sculptured figures. Internally, the building will, when complete, present a very fine appearance, with its lofty vaulting ornamented by ribs and bosses.

The width is and, as in college chapols generally, the seats will bo arranged laterally, with canopied stalls in recesses betweou the piers. At tho wont end will be tho At the oast end a space, of 22ft. is apportioned for tho sanctuary, the altar being raisod on eight steps, which, liko tho wido central aisle, are intended to be paved with black and white marble. The design for the roredos is on lines similar to Winchester and St. Albans.

Tho ceremony of laylug the foundation-stone was preceded by a service in the Old Chapel. Tho Principal (tho Rev. H. A. James, B.D.) read prayers, including a special prayer for tho college; and tho Lesson from Kings v.

was read by the Sonior Prefect (Inglis). Psalms cxxll. and exxvii. wero sung, and the hymns boforoand after the sormon were respectively Wo lovo tho place, God," and Pleasant aro Thy courts abovo." Bishop Barru (a formor Principal) preached from Is. xxvill.

16. In conclusion, he Shall I ever forget the day, somo twonty -flve years ago, when on the eve of parting it was my lot to minister hero literally to hundreds that blessed Sacrament of unity, and to feel that through it, evon in separation, wo wore all still one? So may it be, if It please God, in yet larger measure in your future May that double blessing of the presence of Christ to oacli individual and to the wholo body rest on tho work which Is begnn hero to-day! At tho site of the now chapol tho service was continued with the hymn God of hosts, Whose glory fills," tho Bishop' of the diocese afterwards laying tho stone," in tho namo of tho Father, aud of the Son, and of tho Holy Ghost." Tho stono is placed at the east end, Immediately above the plinth, and behind tho site of the altar, and boars the following inscription A. M. I). G.
