The annual distribution of prizes and certificates
to the students of the Faculty of Arts and Laws
took place yesterday afternoon, at University Col-
iege, Gow,r-street, tin,:ler the presidency of the
Right Hon. Sir E. W. B. HEad, K.C.8., in the
presence of Lord Brough.:m (the President of thu
College), Lord Belper, Messrs. Grote, J ffray.
Stoldemid, Busk, Robinson, and a large number of
ladies and gentlemen interested in the College.
The list of prizeholders having been read by the
Dean (Professor MALDEN), he said that but little
change had been made in the arrangement of the
College since last year. He had, however, the
gratification of informing them that a class under
Professor Fartado had been formed for the study
of public speaking and reading aloud. They had
received from Wetherell a splendid collection of
fossils which would be an ornament to the museum.
The conduct of the students during the year had
been so good and orderly as to render his office as
the Disciplinarian of the College a complete sinecure.
They had had as students a number of Parsee gen-
tlemen from Bombay, and Messrs. Cama and Co.,
Parsee merchants of that city, had presented the
College with £3,000 in token of their appreciation
of the way in which the co-religionists :had been
educated without their religious principles being in
any way interfered with. Sir Edmund Head then
proceeded to distribute the prizes and certificates.
As to the last distribution, Mr. Numa E. Hartog
carried away more first-class prizes than any other
competitor. Messrs. P. B. Cams, J. C. Came, and
Dasai, the Parsee gentlemen already alluded to, also
carried off a good proportion. The distribution
having been completed, Sir Edmund said that he
felt specially proud at having been called upon to
distribute the prizes in the presence of their vener-
able President, Lord Brougham, who had done more
for the cause of education than any other man
living. He remembered the time when a University
education was confined to a small class of the
community, owing to the existence of religious
restrictions. Their President had long ago
seen the evil of those hindrances to national
education, and by helping to found University Col-
lege had thrown open the highest branches of learn-
ing to all, without distinction of nation or religion.
The way in which the advantages offered by the
College were appreciated in India was shown by
the presence of so many Indian students and by the
munificent gift of Messrs. Cama and Co. The system
of teaching adopted was one he approved of most
highly, being a judicious mixture of the profes-
sional and tutorial method of instruction. At one
time the professional mode had fallen into almost
total disuse at Oxford and Cambridge; but it tip.
I peered to him to be reviving again in both Un
versitis. In their own case this system was in full
use, as instanced by the large numbers of profes
sore attached to the College teaching almost every
branch of human knowledge. Many were of
opinion that they taught too much, but they had
an example before them of a gentleman who had
carried away prizes in Greek, Latin, mathematics,
modern languages, and moral philosophy. Sir Eds
mund concluded by giving the students some excel-
lent advice, both as to the course they should persute
while they remained at College arid after they had.
left it.

Lord BROUGHAM, who was received with a tumult
of applause, said he agreed With everything the:t.
Sir Edmund hEid said. The catholicity of the Col •
lege was absolute, not only with regard to the
students, but also the Council, at which Catholics
and Protestants, Jews and Christians, sat in friend..
linsss and charity. He begged to move a vote of
thanks to Sir Edmund Head for his kindness in
coming down to distribute the prizes to them.
Lord BELPER seconded the resolution, which Ares
carried by acclamation, and Sir Edmund having
addressed a few parting words to the assemblage,
the proceedings terminated. The following is (1,
