To the Editor of the Nomri-Ciuwa Dany News"
Sin—In the interests of any local aspirants to external degrees London University. may a fow words be said by one who has never been without the oMeial regulations these examinations since 19117 As has already been stated (by one who, obviously, was well qualified to make such statements), "no degree can be obtained, through a correspondence course": stich courses help, but they have no official connection whatever with London University.
The regulations clearly state that, idler certain conditions, external ex: Jaminations "which are conducted en-irely by means of printed papers" can be held in the Dominions and in the Colonies. Shanghai does not come lurider this category, and an Honours Douree involves an "oral." So. it would be very interesting to know. how L. Buown's friend obtained such 1a degree—and in Shanghai: and how his lady friend proposes to obtain her degree locally.
For L, Bnows's information, would add that "ALA. (Loxo)" surely knows better than to "confuse" degree examinations (of which he has no tle personal knowledge) with "those of chartered accountancy", for the Intter do not exist: professional quallations are by no means inferior to, bhut they are not to be confused with: university degrees, 'The remark of I. Brown, that the statements made by an M.A. of London, are "incorrect" is scarcely courteous' and of doubtful accuracy.
