Monday's papers contained the particulars of an interesting scheme providing

for the interchange of University students among the English-speaking peoples. The movement, which has Lord Strathcona for its president, is under the direct patronage—to mention only a few names—of the Premier, Mr. Balfour, Lord Curzon, Lord Milner, the Lord Chancellor, and the Bishop of London, and strong General and Executive Committees (with Sir Charles Eliot as chairman of the latter) have been formed. To endow the proposed scholarships and maintain the bureaux an annual expenditure of 24,500 will be required, and the Committee for the United Kingdom are anxious that a guarantee shall be furnished for 27,200, tho sum required to meet the cost for this country for three years.
