Strana 208 - ... manifested in the love of poetry and music — a type of genius which is peculiarly susceptible to the influence of humane studies. A university which is the one academic expression of such a national genius holds a position of unique interest and of peculiar strength. It would be a great pity to break it up into two or three universities, no one of which could have the same prestige.

Strana 53 - An Eisteddfod is, no doubt, a kind of Olympic meeting ; and that the common people of Wales should care for such a thing, shows something Greek in them, something spiritual, something humane, something (I am afraid one must add) which in the English common people is not to be found.
Strana 54 - London with this movement, the indefinable charm that haunts the gray and venerable quadrangles of Oxford and Cambridge. We cannot take you into the stately halls, the silent and venerable libraries, the solemn chapels, the studious old-world gardens. We cannot surround you with all those elevated memorials and sanctifying associations of scholars and poets, of saints and sages, that march in glorious procession through the ages, and make of Oxford and Cambridge a dream of music for the inward ear,...
Strana 107 - That in the opinion of this House it is the duty of the Government in all Government contracts to make provision against the evils recently disclosed before the Sweating Committee, to insert such conditions as may prevent the abuse arising from sub-letting, and to make every effort to secure the payment of such wages as are generally accepted as current in each trade...
Strana 208 - Are the drawbacks to the federal system outweighed by the fact that the existing university stands for all Wales, and has the undivided support of Welsh sentiment behind it ? An onlooker who thinks as I do would reply unhesitatingly, Yes : the advantage outweighs the drawbacks. To represent Wales is not merely to represent a geographical area and a distinct nationality: it is to represent also a well-marked type of national genius, characterised by certain intellectual bents, by certain literary...
Strana 34 - Castle will not be trusted to scollars unless they turned soldiers and ye town would not secure them, nay ye castle will draw ruine on them; 5th It is a healthfull seat; 6th There is a gallant free schoole allready to perceive for ye academy, and I know no reason but ,£100 or ,£200 per annum might be allowed out of ye now superfluous maintenance of ye schoole.23 In spite of Richard Baxter's efforts, the project for a Western University at Shrewsbury came to nothing.
Strana 103 - Wales, and there is no part which can exceed it, from one end of the island to the other, in the earnest, ardent, and I may say, passionate love for instruction. They are a religious people, and a people deeply enamoured of knowledge, and what they have done has been done with very little assistance. With no assistance at all from any public fund of any kind, they have within the last five or six years founded a large and important college at Aberystwyth.
Strana 210 - These will not be thought an extravagant figure,' Sir Norman continues, ' when it is remembered that the need of the Birmingham University was estimated at five millions, and that the Welsh colleges minister to the needs of a far more diverse population. The agriculture, the manufactures, the mining, and the over-sea commerce of Wales all demand the enlightenment and intelligence which can only be developed in universities efficiently equipped for their work.' It is clear that Wales herself cannot...
Strana 34 - London worth .£40,000 that had no child to leave it to, and wrote to him — though a mere stranger — my strongest arguments to move him to bestow on such a foundation; but could not prevail. If you could but get ,£1,000 stock to build so much of a College as would containe an hundred students and but ,£200 or £300 per annum at first laid to it, I say if you could first procure assurance of this much either from one yt shall be ye founder, or by contribution, I make no doubt to procure authority...
