A meeting of life members and of others closely connected

with the Spectator was held at the Ritz Hotel on December 7th, in accordance with the practice started by Mr. St. Loe Strachey during the last years of his life. There was a large attendance. The editor outlined the Spectator's recent activities, and mentioned several of the causes with which it hopes to identify itself during the coming year. Subsequently there was a general discussion. Those present expressed their warm approval of the policy of the Spectator and their conviction that it has a great part to play in the years of reconstruction which lie ahead.
