...value of such an endowment for the college is well known and the presence of foreign students has long been recognized as one of the most broadening influences which can be brought to bear on men in their undergraduate years. There are already a number of endowments for Englishmen, notably the Common-wealth Scholarships, and the lead taken by the Holtzer Fellowship Fund will undoubtedly grow until the continental countries are as well represented...

S. Throughout his speech Mr. Lloyd George never once suggested that he might win a partial victory-i. e., enough seats to put him at the head of a coalition Cabinet-'but thundered and boasted that the triumph of Liberalism would be sweeping and complete. Since there are today a mere 40 Liberals among the 615 members...
