ASKS FUNDS FOR OXFORD.
Lord CuFzOn plans Many Reforms at

Lord Curzon, who sometime ago la

found an outlet foor his abundant ac-
tivities when. upon the death OF Lord
Goschen. he was elected Chancellor of
the University OF Oxford
This Office has long been regarded as a
purely honorary one. but the ex-Viceroy
Of India does not intend to be- simply an
ornamental Chancellor. His first public
act in his new capacity, according tOra

peal for funds. with which lie means

OF a million pounds is the sum for which
he appeals 70 old oxford men.

Guirements the Chancellor alone purposes

SiderS, are another necessity Of the day,

too, all demand better exposition at the
university than these subjects can at

An electrical laboratory he regards as a
primary need. The Ashmolean Museum
also needs financial help.
It is expected that Lord Curzon's ap-

the whole his scheme is highly com

CUrz0ns initiative viii not go far enough.
