Campus Politics I was glad to see that a seminar
on the United Nations and British policy will be held in Leeds University later this month. Under the auspices of the Foreign Office as well as the university, an impressive collection of academics, diplomats and writers will devote themselves to such problems as UN peace-keeping, decolonisa- tion and the general social and political prob- lems involved in UN-UK relations. The chairman will be Sir Roger Stevens, vice-chancellor of the university, who was formerly Deputy Under- Secretary at the Foreign Office. Such high- powered study groups have long been familiar in America, where policy-making and academic life are not separated to the extent they are here. Such conclaves ought to be to the mutual advantage of all concerned. Perhaps the Leeds seminar will icad to many more.
