SIR WILLIAM STRANG

sm,—may I point out to " Janus " that although Sir W. Strang was never a pupil at either Eton or Harrow, or a student at either Oxford or Cambridge, he attended two institutions of equal merit? I refer to London University and the Sorbonne. It seems to me that an education at these two universities would provide a much more fitting knowledge for a career in the Foreign Office. Please note that I am not depreciating Sir William or his industry, but wish only to correct any readers' impres- sions that his success has been attained entirely by the light of midnight
