A fund has been started to enable Miss Matilda Aston, the blind girl who has recently marticulated at the Melbourne University at the age of seventeen, to proceed to a degree. It is gratifying to learn that all the expenses of Miss Aston’s University training for the next three years have been guaranteed by the Austral Salon— a social organisation of the ladies of Melbourne. Lady Davies, the wife of the Speaker, is the prime mover in the affair.
