Summary

To day's speeches have shown how various were Professor Sidgwick's activities. And the provisional committee, which met at Professor Jebb's, were embarrassed by the number of the different memorials which seemed appropriate. At last three stood out, and I am commissioned to move:—

‘That the Committee have power to appoint an executive Committee which shall decide whether the income of the fund shall be expended

‘(a) on the development of the Library of books on Moral Science, initiated by Professor Sidgwick; provided that the books be accessible to women students as well as to men;

‘or (b) on a studentship in Philosophy (mental, moral, political, economical) open to men and women, to be given every second or third year as the income of the fund may permit;

‘or (c) on a Lectureship in Moral Science to be called the Sidgwick Lectureship;

‘or on a memorial in some other form.’

The first two suggestions are specially in place in regard to him who has done far more towards the great end of promoting the higher education of women than any one else. And they are so framed as not in themselves to prejudice the freedom of the coming generation on the question whether the movement toward the co–education of men and women at Cambridge should go further, or the main stream of the higher education of women should be separate from that of men.
