The necessity for a regular interchange of views and for the better organisation of facilities for advanced study throughout the Empire has led tho universities of Oxford, Cambridge, and London to issue invitations to the uni-i versities of tho Empire to a confererico to bo held in tho Metropolis in 1912, and there can be no doubt that this is the first step towards a closer union and sympathy, which cannot but have the most far-reachiug and beneficial effects.
