The School of Oriental Studies have this week issued an

appeal for support signed by Lord Curzon, Lord Cromer, the Lord Mayor of London, and a number of other men of light and leading. We hope next week to return to this most important subject, but may point out here that it is calculated that the income required for the School in London will be £14,000 a year, and that of this sum the School has at present in view as income of about £7,500. The Committee desire to raise en Endow- ment Fund of £150,000. They have now, as the result of a preliminary appeal, about £10,000 in hand. One subscriber of £100 has now raised his subscription to i1,000 as a mark of his appreciation of the services rendered by India in this crisis.
