THE CIVIL WAR IN SPAIN

[To the Editor of THE SPECTATOR.] SIR,—The outbreak of Civil War in Spain has led to the cancel- lation of the University of Liverpool Summer School of Spanish which is held each year in San Sebastian, and of a number of other vacation courses to meet the needs of the many students and teachers who were going out to study in Spain this summer. We have arranged for a short intensive course in Spanish language and literature to be held here early in September.

In view of the exceptional circumstances, and as it is impossible to reach universities and schools during the Long Vacation, I should be extremely grateful if you could give publicity to this announcement.—I am, Sir, yours faithfully,

E. ALLISON PEERS,

Professor of Spanish. The University, Liverpool.
