COURT OF CONVOCATION.
Sir,—B.A.'s letter in your issue of Saturday gives a completely misleading account of what happened at the Court of Convocation. It is not true to say that 23 voted for separate universities and 18 against. The 18"voted ifor a commission of inquiry before making such change, the 23 for separate universities, without any commission, the latter proposal being aty amendment to the former. When the amendment was put as a substantive motion it was carried by a majority so substantial that no count was taken. Even the proposer and seconder of the original motion for the appointment cf a commission were themselves, like many of their 16 supporters, in favour of separate universities. Graduate.
