The Needs of the University…
The Needs of the University of Wales. PLENTY OF GOOD FOOD AND NO WORRY. EVILS OF QUACK MEDCINES. SIR JOHN WILLIAMS'S PRESCRIPTIONS The National Eisteddfod of 1907, to be held at Swansea, was proclaimed on Thursday, the 9th inst., by the Gors-edd in the .presence of a large gathering at Cwmdonkki Park, Swan- sea. In connection with the National Eisteddfod proclamation ceremony, a public luncheon, under the presidency of the Mayor (Mr Gwilym Morgan), was held at the Central Hall, the attendance including Sir Marchant Williams, Sir John Williams, The Plas. Uran- steplian; Dyfed (the Anchdruid), Mr John Williams, M.P., Principal Roberts (Aberyst- witli), and a large number of invited guests. Music was supplied by the Gwent Glee Singers, conducted by Mr Isaac Edwards. Sir John Williams, in proposing the toast of the Univeredty of Wales, congratulated Dyfed on succeeding to the seat of the Arc!h- druid of Wa.es, the chief position of the bardic hierarchy. The old Eisteddfod and the new univørsity had something in com- mon. They were both democratic, the younger the more so, for the university had no sacred area into which ,e robed elect only were permitted to enter. The control of the university was not only in the bands of the people, but it was largely in the hands of the schools of the country. This consti- tuted one of the chief present differences be- tween it and the older universities. At one period the older universities were national institutions, but in course of time they fenl into the hands of a class and under the eon- trol of the few, while they moulded and con- trollied the schools. This had proved in the past one of the greatest barriers to the pro- gress of learning in England. Under the new conditions the University of Wales could not become a fossil. It an ust ever be a living b dy, absorbing, growing, and moving for- ward with the growth and advancement of the people, whilst at the same time it was a oontriibutive cause of their growth and pro- gress. Being the last child of the nation, there was great anxiety manifested respect- ing the state of the health of the university (laughter). At one time it was petted, hugged, and caressed; at another it was mi,ldly chastised; at another it was whipped with scorpions (laughter); and the number of diseases from which it was supposed to be suffering was very considerable. At one time it was suffering from anti-nationalism, be- cause Englishmen were allowed to occupy chairs in the colleges. He wondered what won d those who had discovered this disease say to Welshmen holding posts in the Univer- sities of Aberdeen, Glasgow, Manchester, and London ? Were they prepared to sink to that depth of cowardly meanness which would appoint a Welshman to a vacant post who was far inferior in qualifications to an English competitor? On the other hand, when an Englishman, or other than a Welshman, occupied a chair in one of the constituent colleges of the University he was expected, as he who was elected to a chair in an Eng- lish or Scotch University, to enter into the spirit and object of the University loyally, while theauthori,t4es of the institution should have, and should exercise, the power to trer-t disloyalty with the severe punishment which treason deserved (oheers). Another disorder from which the University suffered was said to suffer was deficient attention to Welsh. Did Welsh receive much attention in their schools? The work of this University must from its very contribution be largely entitled by the work done in the schools, and if Welsh get the attention in the schools which it should have, and he thought it should have a foremost place, that would secure a corres- ponding place for it in the University (ap- plause). Again, it is alleged that the Uni- versity was not democratic enough, and at the same time it was proposed to place it under the control of one man who might be an English or a non-speaking Welshman (laughter). The number of prescripts for the supposed disorder were many. One recotn-1 mended. A Soothing Syrup, one ,<'1 d..sitic pill, one an alterative conooc- j tion to purify the blood, and one, of a surgi- cal turn of mind, for the use of the knife (laughter and cheers). There WidS one method of treatment, however, which not one of these wise men had recommended, that of rest and good feeding. The diet of the minority had been of the most simple character, and not very plentiful Not one of their merchant princes of wiliom they heard occasionally on the platform had ever suggested more and better nourishment. The -university was onlv 12 years old, and children at that age had good appetites. It looked well and strong and m, e no complaint, except one, and that was hunger (applause). To him, as a doctor. th-s was a very healthy symptom. Indeed, the young thing appeared to be brimful cf health, bursting with energy- and why all these quaok remedies recommended for it, like the remedies recommended for the healthy infant of an experienced young met-her by a lot of meddlesome and mischiev- ious old w ves passed his comprehension (applause). A healthy child Required No Medicine and usually it was better to give less than more to a sickly one. The university was the child of the nation. The nation had put its own life and genius into it. It had in it the potentilaUity of the nation, and in his opinion it should be allowed to grow, develop and evolve tho^e potentiality in its natural' way It see sto me that the real wants of the uni- versity were air, space, plenty of exercise plenty of food, and plenty of" freedom from woiry (applauoe). In plenty of food he in- c u e an occasional substantial dinner, say a dozen dinners a year, in the form of follow- hips of £ 150, and othere for original re- ^Pfueli. He thought that this substantial food would do mere gocd to the university than all the unfailing patent medicines re- commended, and he trusted that some gener- ous merchant prince or landlord would soon lead by supplying one of these annual dinners and that others would follow his example (applause). incipal Roberts, replying, said thai the Swansea National Eisteddfod of 1863 Dr Nicholas advooafted the estaibfcs-hraent of » University for Wales. If they followed the movement on to the last Act, recorded in nine columns and a leading article ei the previous day's "Times," they would see the making of the Welsh nation (hear, hear). Their unity as a people had been gjnasped os a principle of administration through flibe struggle for higher education. J* beipn am a movement for a national University, and if it had not begun in that form t would have perished. The result was seen partly in the actual educational accomplishment, and in part in the administrative unity of Wales, to be realised in the forthcoming Council of Wales (hear, hear). The movement was a lesson in national education, a training in efficiency, and also in national co-operation. Probably the proposal to create a M mister j and a separate department for Wales, so far from giving -vason for the alarmist cry liaised in aome non-TNelsh quarters in Parliament, was the one thing needed to commend tL. scheme to the assent of all sections in Wales, for the proposal defines the relation of the Council and Parliament, on the lanes of the entirely satisfactory precedent adopted by oonoant of all parties in the case of Scotland (applause). Education, which has led the way to administrative effici-ency for Wales, was also the key to industrial and ommercial efficiency and development. Sir Marchant Williams, in proposing "The National Eisteddfod," soid he quite agreed with Principal Roberts that the idea was an old one. Sir John Williams, wham they were all so delighted to see taking up his place among the workers in behalf of the education of this country, wtas a recent arrival (laugh- ter), and thereome was naturally under the belief that the University was a young insti- tution. However, he had something older to propose than the University. It was the Eisteddfod, and the motto of the Eisteddfod was peace, and centovea-sies there were out of piece (hear, hear). In the Eisteddfod they saw the triumph of peace over war. When he saw his friend Dr Gomer Lewis on the eisteddfod plaitfomm nobody thought he was ai clergyman of the Churcn of England (hear, hear, and laughter). The speaker appealed to the people of Swansea to uphold the 6tiandiard of the Eisteddfod. Dyfed and Gwynedd responded in eloquent Welsh speeches. The "Eisteddfod of 1907" was proposed by Mr John Williams, M P-, and the Mayor responded.

Burry Port Ratepayers' Association An adjourned public meeting cf Burry Port ratepayers was held at the Council School, under the presidency of Mr John Walters. TIle secretary (Mr John Eager, M.I.M.E.) read an elaborate report of a sub- committee regarding the improvements necea sa.i-y to make Burry Port an attractive sea- side resort. The question of the abandoned Gns Bill was discussed at great length. Mr Thomas Davies moved a resolution protesting against the payment of the abandoned Gas Bill charges being thrown upon the- rates, and j § u??n ,^e Local Government Board and the district auditor to surcharge the members of the urlhan council, iniasffnu-cb as they had not complied with the wishes of the ratepayers.
