The interest which the Earl of Fowls had uniformly displayed in all
Ulla *oilcan's the University, and the acquaintance which by his
taipation and otbsequent connexion with it he had maintained with
Mir aeademio institutions—the independence of his character and
*an ea—the zeal and energy which he line exhibited in forwarding
thenterests of the Church, and his able and effectual Support of her
stains, naturally directed the attention of many members of the Uni-
vanity to thif nobleman, and steps were immediately taken to obtain
tie Lordship's' consent to be put in nomination for tka high office of
Cb.anceitor.

The Earl of ?owls at once acceded to the request, and the favour-
phis manner in which hts Lordship's name has been received assures
tAte ammlttee that the same considerations which led to the first in-
sPilintloa to Lord Powis will secure tke warm and hearty support of
all who feel how Important it is to the University that their Chancel-
Ing,Asould possess those qualities for which the Earl of Pewis Is so
eminently
