UNIVERSITY AND EDUCATIONAL 

 INTELLIGENCE. 



Mr. ['.. G. B.\WDEN has entrusted Mr. Edgar Speyer 

 " with a sum in cash and securities of about 100,000!. to 

 be applied to purposes of charity and benevolence, and for 

 the advancement of knowledge, especially in aid of human 

 suffering." After careful consideration, this sum has been 

 apportioned for various good purposes in the form of 

 capital to be vested in trustees, and to be known in each 

 case as the " Bawden Fund." The largest allotment is 

 in aid of advanced university education and research, and 

 for this purpose a gift of i6,oooL is made to complete 

 the sum of 200,000/. required to bring about the incorpor- 

 ation of University College in the University of London. 



Though the corporation of the Massachusetts Institute 

 of Technology has taken action in connection with the pro- 

 posed alliance of the Institute with Harvard University, 

 the faculty and alumni have expressed their disapproval 

 of the scheme. Before the proposed agreement can be 

 consummated there will be necessary at least three 

 decisions by the Supreme Judicial Court upon the grave

legal questions involved, action by the Harvard authorities, 

 and possibly further consideration by the corporation of 

 the institute and an appeal for legislative sanction. A 

 league has therefore been organised " to oppose the plan 

 of alliance under consideration, or any other plan which 

 may impair the self-government of the institute, and to 

 secure for the past students a proper share in ils adininis- 

 tration." 



Prop. W. Hallock, professor of physics in Columbia 

 University, New York City, writes to say that the pro- 

 posal of the Emperor of Germany for the temporary 

 interchange of professors with America, referred to in 

 N.ATURE of July 20 (p. 285), had nothing to do w-ith the 

 courses arranged at that university, as they were planned 

 three years ago, when Prof. Hallock took charge of the 

 department of physics. The lecturers are not exchanged ; 

 they are appointed as " non-resident lecturers " for the 

 year, and receive an honorarium for their courses. The 

 visiting lecturers at Columbia University for the year 

 1906-7 are Prof. Lummer, of Breslau, and Dr. J. Larmor, 

 F.R.S. 



A copy of the prospectus of the Redruth School of 

 Mines for 1905-6 has been received. Situated in the centre 

 of the Cornish mining district, the school is devoted wholly 

 to instruction in mining and allied subjects essential to 

 the training of mining engineers, assayers, and mine- 

 surveyors. Practical work in mining is carried on at the 



Basset mines and at other mines in the vicinity under the 

 supervision of the school instructor. Success in examin- 

 ations in particular subjects held at the school by the 

 Board of Education, the City and Guilds of London 

 Institute, and the County Council of Cornwall forms part 

 of the requirements for a school certificate. One wing 

 of the school building is occupied by a large mineral 

 gallery erected in memory of the late Mr. Robert Hunt, 

 F.R..S., keeper of the mining records. This museum, 

 which contains a very valuable collection, offers great 

 facilities for mineralogical study. 



Correspondence between the Bengal Government, the 

 Government of India, and the Secretary of State for India 

 upon the subject of the establishment of a school of mines 

 in India, extending over the period from May 21, 1904, to 

 August 3, 1905, has been published. On the advice of a 

 strong committee, the proposal adopted is to provide a 

 curriculum of mining instruction at the Sibpur Engineering 

 College, Calcutta, with practical instruction in the mining 

 districts. .-V professor of mining engineering is to be 

 appointed in England at a salary of 750 rupees to 1000 

 rupees a month. The scheme also contemplates the 

 temporary appointment for five years of a peripatetic 

 inining instructor and a native assistant, who will be 

 called upon to give free instruction in the mining districts. 

 The whole scheme involves an initial expenditure of 

 8500 rupees on the equipment of Sibpur College, and an 

 annual recurring expenditure of 16,000 rupees in connec- 

 tion with that college, and of 15,000 rupees (nr peiipatetic 

 instruction in the mining districts. For a scheme so 

 promising in economic benefit to India, the outlay appears 

 extremely moderate.
