We beg to endorse heartily the appeal made by the

Prime Minister, by representatives of Oxford and Eton, and by others for support in raising a memorial to Lord Curzon. As they say, it is due from the gratitude of his contemporaries for his unlimited services to the country and it should also point an enduring example to posterity. We wholly agree and would say further that it must be a memorial in every respect worthy, because (if there were no other reason) Lord Curzon himself would in raising a monument to anyone else—witness Lord Clive—have lavished care and learning as well as money in seeking for it perfection of dignity, grace, artistic merit and fitness.
