UNIVERSITIES CONGRESS

ADDRESS BY LORD ROSEBERY. By Cable—Praes Association—Copyright. London, July 3. . Lord Rosebery, in opening the congress of universities of the Empire, said the Empire was bejted round with universities. Each had its own problems, parliaments and municipalities, but all looked to the universities to supply honorable, incorruptible and strenuous men. He hoped the congress would result in a permanent channel for inter-communica-tions and solve these problems. The congress debated the specialisation of universities and post-graduate study. Professor Allen, of Melbourne, argued that the Home universities should modify their regulations to assist colonial graduates desiring to continue their researches in Britain. Members of the congress were entertained at luncheon by the Government at the Savoy Hotel. Many notable men were present.
