Government and University Tests Question Presented
A deputation from Nonconformist bodies urged Gladstone to introduce a bill in the next session removing all tests in universities. The group included ministers and M.P.s from Dissenting Deputies, Liberal Society, and various congregational and Baptist unions along with Cambridge scholars. Gladstone deferred a definite answer until Parliament meets.
