AN APPEAL Received Feb 17, 5.29 p. in London Feb 16 Tlie Duke of Devonshire, in a letter to the Press? urgently appeals for subscriptions for tile re-endow-mont of Cambridge University. H& declares that, altogether, a capital sum of a million and a half, apart from any pension fund for Professors,- might, without extravagance be immediately expended in the equipI rnent and provision of necessary staff. ' The Tia^es suggests supplementing likely subscriptions by the ultimate tapping of sources that are realisable., and by suppressing some of the smaller colleges and amalgamating others.
