The grotesque Western Orthodox University (the adjective is distinctly on
the charitable side) has been rearing its fan- tastic head once more. So at least I conclude, for the familiar W.O.U. handbook was enclosed with a' benevolent letter received this week by the principal of an academic body of high standing in this country. The writer hails from 2 Hindes Road, Harrow-on-the-Hill, and bears the name of Norman L. Sturch. But he bears much more than that. According to his notepaper he is
DOCTOR NORMAN L. STURCH, M.A., PH.D., D.Sc., D.Geo., F.I.LA, MIF Mech, and beyond examination standard and practice for recognition by professional bodies as LL.B., F.R.Econ.S., F.B.S.S., F.N.I.C.S., F.S.T.A., F.P.C.A., A.C.I.I. (Accident), L.I.I. prizeman, past elected.

Societies,
and he has a very sporting offer to make. There must be (he suggeks) a number of students at the institution to which I have referred who have—who have, in short, failed in their examinations. Dr. Sturch has exactly the thing for them. " By Ancient Plenary Powers and special Indian legislature there are three universities, not of a City, but of the wider foundation of the Catholic Apostolic Church, which are pre- pared to issue Degrees in Arts, Laws, Literature, Science, Philosophy and other faculties without requiring students to sit for open examination." Indeed nothing worth mentioning is required except a bank account. " For a maximum cost of twenty guineas, investiture with a Bachelor Degree, sent with- out ceremony, may be achieved within one month. Hoods for Degrees are available for seven guineas extra if bought through my Universities." I call this very handsome. There will be many knocks at Dr. Sturch's door.
