Excerpt from The Work of the Universities for the Nation: Past and Present; The Inaugural Lecture Delivered at the Guildhall, Cambridge, on Saturday, July 29, 1893
This meeting, to which the University welcomes her visitors, not as strangers or aliens, but as members of a body united to her by common studies and sympathies, is a visible expression of that change which, during the last thirty years, has been passing over the relations between the ancient Universities of England and the country. They are no longer content to be only, in the strict sense of the phrase.
