BRITISH UNIVERSITIES.
criticism: of sir norman lockyer's scheme, United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, September 17. Sir W. R. Anson, M.P. for Oxford University, speaking at Manchester, said Sir Norman Lockyer, in his .scheme recently outlined before the British Association, began at the wrong end. Large extension of the universities was not necessary, unless there was a more widely diffused desire for education throughout the country. In the course, of his address, Sir Norman Lockyer declared that £24,003,000 is required to place British university education on a par with that of the United States and Germany, £8,000,000 being required for construction and £16.000.000 for endowment. The equipment of post-graduate research was as essential as battleships. The constitution of a Scientific National Council was essential for industrial and commercial progress, national defence, and national safety.
