The Ladies' College at Cambridge, Girton College, has come in
for a handsome contribution to its building-fund in a somewhat sad way, but yet one which we wish the living would remember when they strive, in their too often inarticulate fashion, to show their love for the dead. Mr. Thomas Taylor, of Aston Rowant, Ox- fordshire, has sent the College £1,000 for its building-fund, in memory of his daughter Edith, who, had her life been spared, was to have entered the College as a student in the present term, and whose earnest wish for its prosperity, as one of the most efficient means of promoting the true interests of women by creating a class of highly-educated women, is thus effectually re- corded. To promote the best cause for which the dead hoped or laboured, is certainly the noblest way in which we can honour their memory.
