Dr. CAMERON: As it stands it might apply to students who had not touched their own local University.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR: Yes.
Dr. CAMERON: Of course, it would only apply to Colonies where there is a University.
The EARL OF ONSLOW: No; on the contrary, it would also apply to Colonies where there is no University.
Dr. CAMERON: The students of Colonial Universities will. At any rate, that is the suggestion I make, my lord.
Mr. PETERSON: That can be put straight when the matter is discussed by the trustees, and the representatives of the Rhodes bequest.
It is to
Mr. WARREN: Before we part, may I discharge a duty which, I believe, I am entrusted with by the University of Oxford, and that is a very brief one. thank you, my lord, and the authorities of the Colonial Office, and especially the Colonial Secretary, whose remarkable interest in education and particularly in University education, needs no emphasis, for arranging this Conference, and to thank I think the representatives of the Colonies for coming here and enabling us to meet them. I hope it has not appeared that Oxford has been too forward in the matter. we wished to show that we were really forward in endeavouring to meet the Colonies when this occasion offered, and I feel sure you will all understand that Oxford and Cambridge are at one in this matter. It so happens that this bequest has been offered to Oxford to add to the other advantages which you find there at Oxford, but you will also find exactly the same, practically the same kind, at Cambridge. I hope some bequest will rise up by which Cambridge will be put on a level with Oxford in this matter. We hope you will go back to your Colonies and the parts of the Empire from which you come, and that you will tell them that Oxford is moving in many ways. I hope it is understood that Oxford has not only the degrees under the old arrangement, but has a great many degrees as varied, and studies of all sorts, what are called under-graduate and post-graduate studies, and that we are anxious to put these before you, if we get an opportunity, and we shall embrace the opportunity of doing so. Meanwhile, may I be allowed to thank you, and the Colonial Office, and these gentlemen for the opportunity of having met them on this occasion, and of saying that Oxford is anxious to give every welcome to youths from the Colonies to make the best use which appear to be afforded by this munificent bequest. (Applause.)
The EARL OF ONSLOW: Thank you.
The Conference then terminated.
