THE WELSH UNIVERSITY.
THE WELSH UNIVERSITY. The letters which we publish this week, as well as those published in our last issue, differ- ing as they do in many important points, at any rate prove that Welsh opinion is not yet sufficiently ripe on the subject of a Welsh University. There are differences of opinion on the details of the scheme, and the Bishop of St. Asaph is so sensible of the crudeness of the Shrewsbury scheme that he is in favour of the appointment of a Royal Commission to inquire into the whole matter. It is also evident that the leading Welsh educationists are not pre- pared to accept the resolution of the Shrewsbury conference as a final solution of the question and the whole subject will have to be carefully discussed and reconsidered. Judging from the reports of the Conference published in the daily papers, many difficulties were shirked, and many were ignored. One of the most important and difficult questions, when it was raised by the Rev. Hawker Hughes late in the day, only met with a passing and somewhat angry comment from the Chairman. In one of the resolutions the phrase t; the governing body of the Univer- sity was mentioned. Mr. Hughes naturally wished to know who would constitute the governing body. Lord Aberdare with some temper deprecated any discussion on the matter as it would take up too much of the time of the Conference. We consider that the first duty of the meeting should have been to settle this much vexed question, and that if there was no time to discuss a matter of such vital importance to the future of the University, the Conference had better not have met at all. Other difficulties were avoided which should have been removed. It was thought that a resolution to include the faculty of Theology in the curriculum of the University would meet with some adverse comment, and, therefore, it was decided not to recommend the inclusion of Theology. Another reason which, probably, had great weight with certain of those present was that by their charters the three University Colleges of Wales cannot teach or examine in Theology. As these gentlemen had decided that the new University should consist only of the three University Colleges, it was obviously impossible for them, under existing circumstances, to 1. include Theology. Since Theology was ex- cluded, it was equally obvious that the theo- logical colleges could not form part of the University, either by affiliation or by represen- tation on the governing body. This led the proposers still further astray. If the denomi- national colleges were to be excluded, St. David's College, Lampeter, though not strictly a theological college, had to be excluded also. These gentlemen, therefore, in their eager- ness to establish at once, and at any cost, a University for Wales, were compelled to ignore the science which has had more to do with the training and education and formation of Welsh character than any other to exclude the denominational colleges which have done loyal work at a time when there were no State- aided University Colleges in the Principality, and to allow another degree-conferring Col- lege, which is already affiliated to the most ancient and famous Universities in the king- dom, to exist side-by-side with the Welsh University. A University so constituted would not be representative of Welsh life education, or thought, but would simply do what the University Colleges are doing now, and provide an outlet for second-rate English scholarship at the expense of worse trained Welshmen. We feel that even at the cost of delaying the establishment of a National University for a year or two, such a scheme must be opposed and defeated. We know that we are treading on treacherous ground when we propose an alternative scheme, but we- admit the obligation that rests on us by casting off one scheme to offer another one in its place. The initial fault in the scheme which was accepted at Shrewsbury was the narrowness of the proposed constitution of the University. It was determined that three University Col- leges alone should constitute the University. We have seen what this led to how it became imperative to exclude Theology from the cur- riculum, and the denominational colleges, and Lampeter from the Uniuersity. The remedy will be to broaden the basis of the University. Every Theological College in Wales of a certain standing should help to form the University that he represented on its governing body. It is absurd to shut out an important College like Lampeter- The degrees of Lampeter have already a marketable value, and the inclusion of the College would give the degrees of the new University a certain standard, which they would otherwise take some years to reach. It should also be remembered that the number of students at Lampeter is as great as at any of the University Colleges. By excluding St. David's College, 11 cre, therefore, the University would be at once de- prived of one-fourth of its Welsh students. It will be evident what a serious blow this would be to a new institution. We have said that every Theological and University College in Wales should be repre- sented on the governing body. We do not mean that every college should have the same number of representatives in the Senate. It would obviously be unfair that a small college numbering 30 students should be classed with a college numbering 150- Dr. Isambard Owen has prepared a scheme for a Welsh University which, with certain impor- tant modifications, will avoid this and some other difficulties connected with the subject. Dr. Owen proposes that the three University Colleges should constitute the University. This, of course, we do not agree with. The governing body of the University, he further pro- poses, should consist of four equal parts, one part to be nominated by the Crown, one part by the County Councils, one part by the graduates of the University, and the fourth part by the three constituent colleges. We would wish to alter this proposal in one or two points. We consider that the Crown is given too great a. power, while the graduates are insufficiently represented. The number of the Crown's nomi- nees should be lessened, while the educationally democratic element—as represented by the graduates at the University — should be enlarged. Since we are desirous of including the denominational colleges, the fourth part of the governing body must be differently consti- tuted. We would suggest that an electoral body be formed of as many representatives from the different University and Denominational Col- leges as there are faculties taught at those colleges. In order to ensure that no bogtts faculties should be represented on the electoral body, there must be certain safeguards against deception. It should be conditioned that the teacher of each faculty must be in receipt of a stated annual salary, and that he should teaoh a stated minimum number of students. It might be possible to impose a. further condition that the teaching must reach a certain standard. It should be remarked that these representatives of faculties would only form an electoral body, who would appoint the
