"That lhla meeting, though it has derived the greatest attisfaetion
from the extremity gracious terms in which Prince Albert has
rapeseed himalf to tartly to the memorial recently prewitted to him
by the Vioc-Chancellor, on behalf of a large body of members of the
senate, dims, lathe same time, deeply regret that the desire of 11.R.H.
to comae to their request should have been prevented by the enden- •
your to elect another into the office of Chancellor of the University.
That this mecum; cannot hat perceive that thin circumstance has a
minifeet tendency to secure to a minority of the member, of the amaze
the uncontrolled power of electing the Chancellor, and to preclude the
majority both from thedeclirati,m of their opinions, and from Barked
they have to give effect to it. llaet, it being well known that
many members of the senate are determined to reo ad their votes in
favour of 11.11.11., and many persons, eminent in rank and talents,
haring expremed their muncet desire to mist in hi election, It Is Co.
preheat to one all pontibie exertion to accomplinh that moot desirable
object. That this meeting confidently teems that It will triumphantly
succeed in its efforts to elect 11.R.H. into the office of Chanoellor,"
