Abstract
ONE of the last sentences in your paragraph concerning the report of the Syndicate for providing better opportunities for the study of physical science in the University of Cambridge, though founded upon a partial misconception of the state of affairs, suggests what is probably the best solution of the difficulty. The colleges, if polled upon the simple question, “Shall we aid in promoting the study of physical science?” would, I believe, reply by a considerable majority in the affirmative. It is upon the best mode of contributing that there is so much division of opinion; and this has caused the apparently “lame and impotent conclusion.”
