8o 



M. Leplae said this afternoon, if an Imperial college is estab- 

 lished, whether in the East or in the West, Belgium, and I 

 believe France and Germany also, will desire to send students 

 to it. The details of the project have to be thought out before 

 it can take a definite shape. The chief business of such a 

 college should be to provide instruction and information on 

 general lines, and 1 on this point I am in entire agreement with 

 what M. Leplae has said. I hope before this Congress is 

 concluded some of us, at all events, will have made up our 

 minds on one or two fundamental points, and to this end the 

 papers to which we have listened this afternoon will consider- 

 ably contribute.
