Abstract
THE annual conference of the Geographical Association was held at the London School of Economies on Dec. 31–Jan. 3, and was followed by a week-end visit to St. Albans. There could be few more adequate tributes to the vitality of the modern science of geography and the increasing recognition of its importance in all walks of life than the steadily expanding activities of this annual gathering. It is estimated that between five hundred and six hundred members took part, and more than a hundred sat down to the annual dinner on Jan. 2, whilst the publishers' exhibition was larger than on any previous occasion. It is significant of the mutual appreciation of two bodies engaged in spreading knowledge of the earth as the environment of man and the responsibilities of the voter of to-day as a citizen of the world, that the opening gathering of the conference took place in the galleries of the Imperial Institute. Here, members and their friends were welcomed by Lieut.—General Sir William Furse.
