It was suggested elsewhere in this paper last week, in

a comment on the Lord Mayor's Thanksgiving Fund, that one possible objection to the plan for collegiate hostels in Mecklenburgh Square was that it made for an undue segregation of Commonwealth and Dominion students. I am told that at London House, where Dominion students have their home, there are up to ten per cent, of British students. It seems a modest admixture, but no doubt it will serve. And, of course, the more British students there are the less room there will be for overseas students. Whether a square of such character should, so to speak, be withdrawn from circulation and consecrated wholly to overseas students is arguable At least it is a formidable sacrifice.
