Meeting at Cambridge

London vid Bombay, March 5.

A meeting has been held in the Senate House at Cambridge on behalf of the proposed University for China. The Vice-President, Dr. A. J. Mason, Master of Pembroke College, warrly supported the scheme.

Sir Ernest Satow, 6.c.M.c., outlined the scheme. He said that he trusted that the conflict between China and the Powers in 1900 would be the last. Teaching, he continued, which lay at the root of the superior position of the English, was the most valuable compensation that could be offered to the Chinese for the loss they had suffered in 1900.—Reuter.
