ABSTRACT A TOWN'S meeting was held at Liverpool last week for the purpose of hearing a report from the committee appointed a year or two ago as to the progress of a scheme for

establishing a University College in Liverpool. The report showed that in spite of bad times a very gratifying readiness had been exhibited on the part of a number of the leading residents

of Liverpool to contribute to the necessary funds, several of whom had promised sums of 10,000_l_. each for the endowment of different chairs. The Earl of Derby had also promised a similar

sum, the result being that 80,000_l_. was already insured. The college is to be upon the broadest basis, being non-sectarian, and offering no disabilities of any kind to intending students.

A resolution was moved thanking donors to the fund, pledging the meeting to the furtherance of the scheme, and recommending that the different classes and businesses of the town should form

themselves into committees for the purpose of canvassing. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ACCESS
