He was She third son of the laie Mr. W. T. Retas (Amiw Ddu). and was well- known for his activities in the religeous life of the tOiWJl and di-strict.

And so it happened yesterday that when a certain sport "—who was known to have backed the winner-entered :i hoaise of refreshment one of the afore- said gentlemen greeted him wit:1 Hullo, you lucky dog." and in the same breath added, The No-TreaW Order is fevokod I rO:— The statement that a portion of tj,, q Navy is going to be stationed in tho Thames during the Peace celebration's revives the question as to when local people are going to be granted a glimpse of the glorious ships. Considering Swai fiea's recruiting record for the Senior Service, the opinion is strongly held that it would be a graceful act on the part of the Admiralty if a squadron or two were sent round for inspection. The soaring prices in the property market have been setting one Swansea man fpiously to think, and he now fancioshe has struck a bright idea. His scheme is to sell the house he lives in-which has nearly trebled in appre- ciation—and bny an Army hut and reside in it in the district. By so doing he reckons he could put a good manv hundred pounds' profit into his pocket. Having spent the best part of five years in the Army, he says he is quite used to hut life. Sounds all right. The Mumbles is in a somewhat awkward predicament with regard to obtaining oon- veyances for outings this year, inasmuch as the local caterers will not undertake them at any price. But the natives have overcome the difficulty by resorting to the one-time favouritp way of conducting picnics. One party this week chartered one of the local skiffs to take them down the Gower coast, and none of the partici- pants suffered from mal-de-mer. Those who have experienced these skiff outings tate that they are much pleasanter than, either brakes or motor charabancs. —:o: — So a Neath fellow reckoins my live- ray washed up on Swansea eands Lolocry fishy,' and requiring a pinch of salt", does her" writes its author, who adder to Oh unbelieving T- (perhaps you're no-t called Thomas, though!) win (shouldn't ray be fi-jliy' and why shouldn't it need salt'?

THE COLLEGE: FIRST STEPS. The Privy Council has, for all practical uses, agreed to the Char- tea- of the University College of Swansea. It has placed some jis and buts precedent to the grant, but most of the conditions laid down, if not all, have already beon accepted, or contemplated, by the Swansea committek, and we are not leaping further than is war. ranted when we state that the long agitation has been crowned with success and that we can speak of the University College of Swansea. It is a proud title, and we are proud that we can use it. The next thing we have to do is to make proud and dignified use of our new status. Before we begin to deal with the problems that now arise on the grant of the Charter, it is fitting that we should make acknowledg- ment of the men who worked hard for it. First of all, foremost among all, we have to place Mr. Richard Martin, the father of the College, its far-sighted promoter; the man who never lost heart, but in fair season and foul, persisted with that, shall we call it obstinacy? of hie, that tenacity in the holding of his own ideas which has upset 80 many people, until the Promised Land was not only viewed but won. There ought to be a founder's monument to Mr. Martin in the new college. Next—and here we abandon order in our naming of the workers--< orne Ald. Gwynne, and Ald. Matthews in administrative effort; and Dr. Varley. And, in this list—which must necessarily omit many men who did a share- we should not overlook Mr. T. J. Rees, B.A., the Superintendent of Education. We mention him par- ticularly because we know how new and onerous was the task committed to him; how easily he might have slipped and made a hash of Swan. sea's case; how brilliantly he rose to his responsibilities. We do not think it is a deeply hidden secret that there were obstacles in the way, outside jealousies to defeat, prejudices to kill. Mr. Rees's path was often through great difficulties. but he showed a skilled diplomacy that deserves the recognition and the praise of Swansea. The good services of Sir Alfred Mond, also, have been effective. The part Sir Alfred played, in the matter of the Comm ission, cannüt, be revealed here in its fulness; but those who were behind the scenes' know that his help was very sub- stantial, and, in some critical phases of the agitation, most in. fluential. Two important questions arise immediately: the appointment the Principal and the locale of the new College. With regard to the first, we read the Privy Council letter, and the recommendations of the Royal Commission, as meaning that the appointment is to be made by the Swansea Committee. If this interpretation is correct, then we would say that one of the earliest steps to be taken is fro secure expert guidance, even in the initial stages of the appointment. The question is too large to be decided by a local committee; and we would suggest that the help of either the members of the Roy,il Commission, or of the heads of a number of the modern universities should be secured. We would like b see some young Welshman, someone out of the Viriamu Jones mould, aspire to the post and ob- tain it; but national feeling must be kept subordinate to ability. The supreme need is a Principal-and we suppose he must be upon the science side—with organising talent, and, above all, with a strong per- sonality. If a Welshman can be found with these gifts, why we shall rejoice. If not, why it must be even so. The other question is that of site. For ourselves, we believe that the Mount Pleasant hillside is the ideal location for the University College. It is near the railways; it is con- venient for evening students, and let us not forget that the evening lectures of the College are going to be very prominent. But the Uni- versity Court Committee profess doubts whether the site will be sufficient for developments after fifty years; and if the committee's doubts are well-founded, the sooner the better we searched elsewhere I for the permanent borne of the I College. A site that will serve us for only fifty years will not do. It is Mount Pleasant, or Singleton; and the Technical College sub- committee cannot linger over its decision..
