The PRINCE OF WALES, who was attended by Sir Philip Cunliffe-Owen, Mr. George Grove, the Director, and Mr. Charles Morley, the Hon. Secretary, of the College, delivered the following address :-- You are doubtless aware of the efforts at present being made to establish a Royal College of Music-a work which, I venture to think, is one of national importance.
It is intended to place the institution on a broad and liberal basis; that its advantages shall not be confined to residents of the United Kingdom, but be open to our fellow-subjects in all parts of the Empire; and the gratuitous education of scholars selected by competition on the claim of merit only will be one of its principal features.
The scheme has been received with marked favour throughout the United Kingdom, but I should consider it wanting in one of its main objects if I did not succeed in enlisting the sympathy and co-operation of our fellow-subjects residing in the Colonial portions of the Empire.
