IRISH UNIVERSITIES.

[TO THE EDITOR OP THE "SPECTATOR. ]

SIR,—May I make a slight correction in the figures given by Mr. Dease in the Spectator of December 31st? The statement quoted by him credits Victoria College, Belfast, with four Honours and Exhibitions in the Royal University Examina- tions of 1898, but the number actually gained by its students

was fourteen.—I am, Sir, &c., E. M. CUNNINGHAM.
