A Letter To The Very rev. Charles Scott Luxmoore, Dean of St Asaph, on the Proposed Testimonial to the Earl ...,

A Letter To The Very rev. Charles Scott Luxmoore, Dean of St Asaph, on the Proposed Testimonial to the Earl of Powis. By a Welsh Incumbent. The Dean, as Chairman of the Clerical Committee of the diocese of St Asah, has taken an active part in the laudable effort now being made in Wales to prove their gratitude to the Earl of Powis, but he [the writer] does not expect that they will be unanimous in their notions of what will be 'productive of permanent benefit' to Wales. The Dean of Bangor proposes to establish 'Powis College' for the purpose of preparing young Welshmen for holy orders. This, as has already happened in the case of Lampeter College, will only encourage local prejudices and keep up a feeling of jealousy and distrust towards their fellow-subjects in England. With a stipulation for a competent knowledge of Welsh among their clergymen, he suggests the following propositions:-. 1. Prizes at Oxford and Cambridge to graduates from North Wales who shall have attained the highest academical honours. 2. An exhibition to be called the Powis Scholarship in each of the two Universities, open to all natives of North Wales and tenable for not more than three years. 3. A prize annually in each of the three foundation-schools of Bangor, Beaumaris, and Ruthin for the boy who shall have passed the best examination on leaving school. Whatever objections there may be to this scheme, it has this at least to recommend it - it offers an honourable stimulus for young Welshmen to aim at the highest academical honours and give a direct encouragement to a liberal education of the best sort. He means nothing to cause just offence to anybody and nothing that can be considered disrespectful to Jesus College, Oxford. Printed. 12 Pp.
