The first Walter Page Memorial Lecture, founded by the English-Speaking
Union in memory of the great American Ambassador, will be delivered by Sir Auckland Geddes, late British Ambassador at Washington, at the Central Hall, Westminster, on Armistice Day, Novem- ber 11th, at 3.15 p.m. The subject of the lecture will be "The Future of Ambassadorship," and Lord Balfour will preside. All subscribers to the Page Memorial Fund, in which the Spectator co-operated with the English-Speaking Union, will receive invitations in due course. The Committee of the Fund (of which Mr. J. St. Loe Strachey is Chairman, Major J. J. Astor Treas- urer, and Mr. Evelyn Wrench Hon. Secretary) have decided to devote the remainder of the Fund, after the cost of the erection of the Memorial Tablet in Westminster Abbey has been met, to the establishment of a Walter Page Memorial Library whenever a permanent home is found for the English-Speaking Union.
