to women equally with men, and in
this respect the newest educational in
stitution shows the way to its older
sisters Miss f. p. Hughes, a popular
educator, and who Is a member Of the
university, has put into paragraph
the attitude Of the university towards
women: I'VE admit you on terms Of
absolute equality. We dare not do what
the older universities have not done.
Now, In the morning light OF our Welsh
renasence. we open every door for
you, admit you freely to every Office
and to every privilege. We feel that
you at your best are necessary for the
real and rapid development of our
country, and whatever other countries
may decide we decide for Wales that 1t
is not half the population which shall
have every chance and every possible
opportunity" The Welsh university Is
the keeping Of the people. What will
they do with It? We say with Sir
Lewis Morris:
Rise thou. dear land, on Learning's
even wings.
Rise in Heavens face, and soaring,
leave behind
Thy sordid outworn robe OF lower
things

adaptation of the lines Of Cowper in the
