...State House, Worcester, last Wednesday. There was a large attendance, and among the delegates were many who have already won laurels at the oar. The meeting was called to order at 11.30. Mr. E. H. Luther, being the only member of last year's executive committee present, was elected chairman pro tem., and Mr. F. W. Whitridge, Secretary pro tem. In organizing the convention, ten colleges were found to be represented there by their delegates. They were as follows: Harvard, - Wendell Goodwin, W. C. Sanger; Yale, - R. J. Cook, H. A.

...present the only places where degrees can be got in Ireland are the Queen's University and Trinity College, Dublin. In neither of them is there now any requirement which students must fulfil in order to be matriculated, though at Trinity there used to be a law that only those who had signed the "Thirty-nine Articles" should have a scholarship or even a degree. Gladstone's bill would have made legal what has hitherto been granted to Roman Catholics and Non-Conformists only by sufferance and custom. But this measure, though approved by the liberal and thoughtful...
