Abstract
FRIENDS of university education throughout the world will welcome the announcement contained in an official publication of the University of London entitled, New Buildings on the Bloomsbury Site (pp. 18, illustrations and map), that the architect, Mr. Charles Holden, selected and appointed by the Court of the University, has completed a model of the proposed University buildings. We reproduce a photograph of the model (Fig. 1), kindly supplied by the University, and of the air photograph of the site (Fig. 2), which forms the frontispiece of T. L1. Humberstones University Reform in London (Allen and Unwin, 1926). The pamphlet is designed to give a short account of the work of the University, of its present location and of its aims and aspirations. Not an appeal for funds! That will come later, and the University is confident, we are told in a Foreword signed by the Chancellor, the Earl of Athlone, and the other high officers of the University, that in due tune money will be forthcoming from its friends and from all who esteem learning and scholarship.
