UNIVERSITY OF WALES. GUILD OF GRADUATES. MEETING AT SHREWSBURY. An important step towards the practical establish- ment of the University cf Wales was taken on Saturday, when the first meeting was held at the Raven Hotel, Shrewsbury, of the Guild of Graduates, convened by the President of the Privy Council, Lord Kimberley, in pursuance of the provisions of the charter. The guild consists of the past students of the three constituent Colleges of Aberystwyth, Bangor, and Cardiff who have graduated at any university in Great Britain or Ireland, and the principals and teaching staff of those colleges. The whole body consists of about 550 members, and as an indication of the interest taken in the first meeting of the guild, it may be mentioned that the South Wales members of the guild same by special train front Cardiff, arriving at Shrewsbury shortly after ten o'clock. There was a very large attendance of mem- bers, among them being Principal Viriamu Jones, of Cardiff; Principal Roberts, of Aberystwyth; Princi- pal Reiehel, of Bangor, and 14 lady members. There were also present Mr C. W. Davies, barrister-at-laW (who had been deputed by the Lord President of the Council to act as returning officer in the election of 13 members of the guild, as members of the Univer- sity Court); Mr Ivor James, registrar of the Univer- sity College of South Wales and Monmouthshire at Cardiff and Mr O. M. Edwards, of Oxford.—Princi- pal Viriamu Jones, in proposing that Mr Owen M. Edwards be elected chairman, referred to the work that gentleman had done in representing to the Government the claims of Wales in respect to the Welsh University and in reference to its constitution and organisation, he having been appointed by thetB as special commissioner for that purpose. It wal. he thought, fitting that Mr Edwards should take the chair on that historic occasion—the first meeting of that authority in their new University, which he believed he might venture to say was the first national inatitation called into existence for Wales by Parliament and the Crown. (Loud cheers). Princi- pal Reiohel seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously.—Mr Cadwaladr Daviee read a letter from the Privy Council Office. Mr Cadwaldr Davies said he had also received a letter from Lord Aberdare, who presided over the deliberations ef the conferences which resulted in the granting of the University charter, and was leader of the education movement in the principality* .fr' reading of the letter was greeted with cheers. Mr Ivor Tameg then road the roll of the members ef the guild, and 141 graduates answered to their nameil.-Prefelllor Sorley, of Cardiff, said he thought their first duty was to elect a secretary temporarily, but they could not do so without ex- pressing their gratitude to Mr Cadwaldr Davies and Mr Iver James. He begged to move that Mr D. S. Jones, formerly of Aberystwyth, be requested to act as temporary secretary of the Guild of Graduates.- Mr Marchant Williams proposed in his amendment# which was seconded by Professor Genese, that Mr Cadwaldr Davies be appointed secretary. Mr Cadwaldr Daries said that the duties which the Privy Council had asked him to undertake that day were rather of a different character from those of seeretary, so that the term applied to him would be a misnomer.— amendment was withdrawn, and the resolution for the appointment of Mr D. E. Jones was unanimously agreed to. The following gentlemen were the* appointed as scrutineersFor Aberystwyth-Mr i Marchant Williams and Professor Marshall.
