THE IMPERIAL COLLEGE, WINDSOR.
[To THE EDITOR or ten •`Sercuros."]
San,–..In a very few words may I draw the attention of your readers to the work done by the Imperial College, Windsor, and to its present very urgent need of funds P This work lies in educating the sons of officers in the Army or the Navy at a cost which meets the circumstances of each individual case. The funds have in the past been provided by generous benefactors, but the present war is leaving so many officers' families in great need that the College, which is the only one of the kind in England, is forced to appeal to the public for money.
It is difficult in so confined a space to set out any comprehen- sive account of the College, but I trust that a few particulars will convince your readers of the worthiness of the present appeal and of the care with which the Fund will be administered. At least one-half of the pupils have entered one or other of the Services, sixty commissions lines been awarded to recent pupils since the outbreak of the war, and the roll of honour contains the names of seventy.five Old Boys. The present appeal has received the warm support of Field-Marshal Earl Kitchener, Admiral Sir John Jellicoe, and Field-Marshal Sir John French. The late Field-Marshal Earl Roberta was a hearty and active supporter of the College. 11.8.11. Prince Alexander of Took is Chairman of the Board of Governors, and General Sir Stanley Edwardes is Chairman of the Council administering this Fund, with Admiral the Hon. Sir Edmund Fremantle as Vice-Chairman. The Treasurers of the Fund are the Hon. Sir Eric Barrington and Sir Thomas Jackson. Cheques (crossed London County and Westrainster Bank, Ltd., St. jamee's Square) may be sent to A. W. Mayo- Robson, F.R.C.S., Lincoln House, Basil Street, Knightsbridge, S.W.; or to J. Chapman Walker, 25 Dover Street, W.; or to Hugh Paget (from whom full information may be obtained), at the office of the Fund, 15 Dean's Yard, Westminster, SW.—
